My Lord, your wife is spreading rumors about you again.

Chapter 94: Concubine Chen is pregnant
It was not until Mingli really couldn't breathe that Zhang Zhi reluctantly let go. He looked at her swollen lips and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Ming Li was furious. He sat up, picked up the pillow and went to hit Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi laughed even harder. No matter how she hit him, he didn't resist at all.

Mingli became even more annoyed, "You're still laughing!" She was really furious, she threw the pillow and was about to attack.

Zhang Zhi grabbed Mingli's finger that was pointing at him and said with a smile, "You kissed me first, and I was returning the favor. It's courtesy."

Mingli was shocked by his shamelessness: "Zhang Qihui! You..."

"Madam, do you think you are feeling better now?" Zhang Zhi also sat up and looked at her with a smile: "How about we continue?"

Mingli choked: “.”

She lifted the quilt and turned away from Zhang Zhi. She felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Seeing this, Zhang Zhi stopped teasing her and hurriedly got off the bed to get a thicker piece of clothing and helped Mingli, who was still angry, put it on.

"It shouldn't hurt too much, right?"

Zhang Zhi sat sideways on the couch and raised his chin towards the door. "It's cold outside, don't get off the couch. I'll call Ming Qi in and get you some food. What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat." Mingli thought seriously: "Roasted meat."

Zhang Zhi raised his eyebrows. The day before yesterday, when he went out, he saw a new barbecue restaurant opened on East Street, so he bought two pieces for Mingli to try.

Seeing how much she liked it, Zhang Zhi naturally nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll go buy it."

After saying this, Zhang Zhi put on his coat and went out.

After he left, the whole world fell into silence. The kiss instantly broke into Mingli's mind. The touch was soft, his heartbeat accelerated, and his desire rose. This strange feeling was so wonderful.

But the only thing that made Mingli unhappy was, why was she as innocent as a child, while Zhang Zhi was as skilled as a love veteran?

Could it be that his long-term love for brothels is not just talk?

In a corner where Mingli couldn't see, the moment Zhang Zhi closed the door, his legs went weak and he slowly raised his hand and touched his lips.

He kissed her?
No, it was she who kissed him first.

If Mingli had not taken the initiative today, Zhang Zhi felt that even if he had three more guts, he would not dare to kiss Mingli.

After a while, Mingqi came in and said, "Second sister! You scared me to death. I just saw Zhang Zhi. He walked out with a smug look on his face. Did he bully you?"

"No." Ming Li stood up and put on her clothes, sitting next to the tea table. The stove was still hot, so she added some water: "He treats me very well, don't worry, big brother. How is the Ming family? Has the second aunt sent any news? Has Ming Zhongyuan been arrested?"

Mingqi followed her and said, "I was just about to tell you this. My uncle said that my father seemed to have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, but he still sent people to continue looking for him."

"Jiangnan?"

Mingli was a little surprised. Why did everything in recent days seem to be related to Jiangnan? At this time, Shancha and a masked boy walked in. They saluted together: "Young Master, Second Miss."

Ming Qi nodded: "Ming An, are you used to everything?"

Jin Huan stood there without answering. Ming Qi was stunned, "Why don't you answer?"

"Because big brother called the wrong person." Mingli poured a cup of tea for Mingqi: "Third sister is dead, only my personal guards are having fun here."

Mingqi pursed his lips and finally nodded: "Yes, I made a slip of the tongue." Jinhuan took two steps forward: "Young Master, there is no need to be like this. Everything is fine with the girl. I have been practicing martial arts recently and can wield a sword."

"Really?" Ming Qi smiled and said, "That's good. Your family will feel at ease when you are with your second sister."

Jinhuan looked at Mingli and said seriously, "Miss, Meng just died." She took out an arrow and handed it to Mingli, "This is an arrow used exclusively by the Ming family's guards. It must have been done by Ming Boyuan. He wanted to warn us."

When leaving the Ming family that day, Ming Boyuan asked her to kill Meng as quickly as possible and do it cleanly and beautifully.

But she only imprisoned Meng in the woodshed. Ming Boyuan wanted to tell her that she would always be in his hands, and his guards could easily sneak into the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, kill people and get away with it.

This time it was Meng's life that was taken, next time, it might be Mingli's life.

"Prepare the car and enter the palace."

Mingli entered the palace and reached a deal with Emperor Ruihe Shen Sui, after which she successfully entered the Medical Officer's Office. With Lu Chuyang's assistance, no one dared to embarrass her. Mingli was mainly responsible for the pulse diagnosis of the concubines. The emperor issued an order that due to her special status, she could leave the palace every day and return to the Marquis' Mansion to live.

On this day, Mingli came back early. She was eating and talking to Li Ma. Less than half an hour later, she heard the sound of Zhang Zhi coming back.

"you are back?"

Zhang Zhi hummed, took off his cloak and hung it on the rack. He went to the side to wash his hands before coming over. He glanced at the food on the table and couldn't help laughing, "Roasted meat again? You love to eat this recently. I see it on the table seven out of ten days."

"When I get tired of it, you won't see it anymore."

"Is there anything happening in the palace today?" Zhang Zhi washed his hands, sat down, and picked up the largest piece of roasted meat and placed it on the plate in front of Mingli.

Mingli picked it up and took a bite out of habit, then said, "Nothing else. Oh, by the way, Concubine Chen is pregnant. I checked her pulse, but it's been less than a month, so I didn't report it."

"Snapped--"

Zhang Zhi's hand slipped, and the bowl he was about to hold for soup broke into pieces on the floor.

Mingli raised her eyes and saw Zhang Zhi showing a rare look of fear. She hurriedly put down her chopsticks and ordered the servants to clean up the debris.

She waved away the people around her, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Zhi did not answer. He looked out the window with a calm expression. At this time, the palace gate was still unlocked. He shouted outside: "Wuwei!"

Wuwei came in immediately: "Prince?"

"Prepare the car, send a letter to the East Palace, and tell the prince that we are going to visit."

"Now?" Wuwei was stunned for a moment, then bowed: "Yes, I'll go right away."

Although Mingli still didn't quite understand, he could roughly guess a little. Concubine Chen was pregnant. Could it be related to the prince?
On the carriage to the Eastern Palace, Zhang Zhi told Mingli what had happened.

Concubine Chen and the Crown Prince have known each other since childhood.

Before entering the palace, Shen Ke had the opportunity to marry her, but Chen Fei's family was not high-class, and the prince would suffer more harm than good if she married him. Under the double pressure from Prime Minister Lin and the queen, he succumbed. In order to prevent the old love from rekindling, the queen made some moves and forced Chen Fei's parents to send her to the palace, completely cutting off the prince's thoughts.

Shen Ke, knowing that his beloved was his father's concubine, still couldn't help teasing her.

Knowing that Concubine Chen was having a hard time in the palace, he was unwilling to help her leave the palace. Until today, she was pregnant. If the prince did not save her this time, Concubine Chen would die.
