Prince Consort

Chapter 40 The Change of the Capital (7)
Where does she have it?Bai Zhi turned her head to accuse him, but saw that his face was blushing, obviously feeling awkward, but he still refused to admit defeat and forced himself to look at her seriously.Seeing his appearance, Bai Zhi couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Mu Tusu was puzzled.

Bai Zhi shook her head, controlling her overflowing smile.

The first floor is definitely a classy place.Those who are rich and powerful either go to the second floor or have special private seats.There are too many rich and powerful people in the capital, and there is only one No. [-] restaurant. There are places, but the private seats are gone.

Bai Zhi watched the owner of the No. [-] restaurant thinking of a solution in extreme embarrassment, and waved his hands: "Don't bother, there are seats on the second floor, just sit down."

"Thank you Madam General, thank you!"

The two sat on the seats next to the fence, looking down, they could see the scene on the first floor below.

Mutusu sat opposite Bai Zhi, looking at her with a half-smile.Being looked at by him like this, Bai Zhi's heart trembled: "Susu, what are you looking at?"

"It seems that the whole capital knows that you are my woman."

"..." Bai Zhi glanced at him, "Just because of this?"

Mutusu smiled twice, neither denying nor admitting, his eyes swept downstairs casually, but he couldn't take it back for a while.Bai Zhi followed his gaze and saw Yin Xiang, the oiran of the No. [-] brothel in the capital, came in from outside and was talking with Xiaoer.Her gaze was uncertain, and she looked around from time to time, as if she was afraid that someone would discover her existence.

Bai Zhi saw that Mu Tusu was frowning, and stared at Yin Xiang thoughtfully.

"Is there something wrong with her?" Bai Zhi asked Mu Tusu.

Mu Tusu looked back at Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi was also looking at him, with unquestionable firmness in his eyes, as if telling him not to lie or prevaricate.Mu Tusu pursed his lips: "A spies report that I seem to have seen Pei Jiu in the capital! But Pei Jiu didn't return to Pei's residence, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Bai Zhi was silent.

Bai Zhishi didn't want to see Pei Jiu.She didn't know how to face Pei Jiu, she always felt sorry for him.Mu Tusu saw that Bai Zhi's eyes dimmed a lot, and he didn't enjoy eating her favorite braised lion's head as much as before. He knew what she was thinking, and he didn't like it, but he didn't show it.

Yin Xiang downstairs didn't seem to be eating at the No. [-] Restaurant, but was taking away in a food box, with a hurried look on her face, which made people feel that something was wrong.

On Bai Zhi's side, she also chewed slowly and finished eating the braised lion's head, and now she is picking up her favorite hawthorn cake with chopsticks.Mutusu asked, "Anything else you want to eat?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, looking like she couldn't eat: "I'm a little full."

This is not Bai Zhi's usual appetite at all, even less than fifty percent.What made her lose her appetite?Smart as Mu Tusu, he knew everything, but he didn't want to say anything, but forced a smile at Bai Zhi: "After eating, where do you want to go? I'm free for the rest of the day."

Bai Zhi replied with a smile: "I feel a little unwell, I want to go home and sleep."

Mutusu nodded with a stiff face, but his heart sank.Now, why is he still anxious?Isn't she already his?
After Bai Zhi returned home, she felt limp, washed her face, and went to bed.During these days, she was lethargic and occasionally felt nauseous, but her appetite was still surprisingly good.Bai Zhi didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up, the sky was already dark and she entered the world of night.Bai Zhi struggled to sit up, there was no one in the room, the candles were flickering, and the weather in the twelfth lunar month was extremely cold.It's the end of the year, and the Spring Festival will come in a few days.

Bai Zhi put on a big cloak for herself, and lifted the quilt, a chill rushed into her body, and she couldn't help shivering.Mu Tusu should be in the room at this time. If the cold weather is not kept warm in time, he might catch a cold.Bai Zhi saw Mutusu's cloak on the imperial concubine chair, so she picked it up, intending to send it over.

She walked to Mutusu's room, and wanted to knock on the door, but she heard the sound of arguing inside, it was the conversation between Prince Gong and Mutusu.

"Father, the Pei family is no longer a threat, why do you want to kill them all?" Mu Tusu's tone was a little excited.

Prince Gong said: "To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to us. After all, the Pei family is a veteran general, and the Imperial Forest Army under your command promises to obey them all? If the old general Pei does not die, there is no guarantee that he will not make a comeback."

"How did he make a comeback? I have the Tiger Talisman in my hand, and the emperor has already ordered him to retire and return to his hometown."

"Tu Su, I know that you care about your relationship with him as a mentor, but there is one thing you must understand. He belongs to the prince. You and I can understand what kind of person the prince is today. If you give it to him, how can you survive?"

Mu Tusu was silent.

"Have you forgotten what my father taught you and made you swear since childhood?"

"Don't dare to forget." Mu Tusu was silent for a while, "I will wholeheartedly assist the third prince to successfully ascend the throne, no matter what the cost..."

Bai Zhi was taken aback, and stared blankly at the red sandalwood door in front of her.at any cost?Isn't this oath too heavy?Bai Zhi didn't want to listen any longer, lest they catch her right.On the way back, she saw Hongqiao standing at the door and looking at her desperately.

"What's the matter?"

Hong Qiao grabbed Bai Zhi's hand and touched it: "Ma'am, it's so cold, you can call me whatever you want, what should you do if you're freezing? You are pregnant!" Hong Qiao's eyes were filled with nervousness. All red.Seeing her appearance, Bai Zhi laughed, handed her the cloak in her hand, and went straight into the room.The room smelled of the supper that Mu Tusu ate every night.Bai Zhi turned to Hong Qiao and said, "Who ordered you to do it?"

"princess."

"En." Bai Zhi took off the cloak and lay back on the bed, thinking that maybe she didn't know enough about Mu Tusu, originally this matter should be handled by her, and the princess doesn't need to worry about it.

In the middle of the night, Bai Zhi fell asleep and found someone touching her.She opened her eyes and looked, but saw Mu Tusu squeezed her into the corner of the bed, and was touching her stomach with his hand.Bai Zhi was stunned, and the drowsiness completely dissipated: "Susu, what are you doing?"

"Why isn't your belly bigger yet?"

"Maybe it's not long enough."

Mu Tusu leaned his lips closer: "Do you think the doctor made a wrong diagnosis? How about we work harder?" Before Bai Zhi could speak, her lips were sealed by Mu Tusu, and she could no longer resist.All she knew was that Mu Tusu was indeed still working hard, spreading thousands of troops without fear.

Bai Zhi has never known that pregnant women often accept "thousands of troops" and the consequences are very serious.Mu Tusu didn't know anything about this, he just acted like a reckless young man.

This happened three days later, Mu Tusu went to court early, Bai Zhi got up late, and it was near noon before she slowly sat up from the bed.Just as she was thinking about it, she felt a cramping pain in her stomach and rolled several times on the bed.Seeing this situation, Hongqiao hurriedly ran to call the doctor. When the doctor came, Bai Zhi's lower body was already bleeding a lot.

It was diagnosed that the child was aborted due to excessive indulgence.

This result, Bai Zhi couldn't accept it on the spot, and the princess standing aside was even more sneering: "Tu Su doesn't understand this sex in bed, and you don't understand either? I don't know that I am pregnant, so we should try our best to avoid this kind of thing?"

Bai Zhi said nothing.She really doesn't understand, even, she has never received education in this area.

When Mu Tusu rushed back, Bai Zhi was sitting by the coffee table, eating the lotus seed soup that Hongqiao brought her.Bai Zhi doesn't want to talk to Mu Tusu, just treat him as air.Mu Tusu pursed his lips, and called Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi refused.

Mutusu sat down and leaned his head towards her: "Zhi'er!"

Bai Zhi was still scooping up the lotus seed soup in the bowl, tasting every bite.Mu Tusu winked at Hongqiao and told her to leave.Hongqiao tactfully left and closed the door on the way.Only Bai Zhi and Mu Tusu were left in the room, and Mu Tusu asked, "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.Mu Tusu felt more and more sinful, and hurriedly hugged Bai Zhi to coax her: "It's all my fault, I should be more careful, I don't know that I can still have a miscarriage. I won't do it in the future, okay?"

Bai Zhi cried even harder.

Mu Tusu held Bai Zhi's face and wiped away her tears: "When you recover, we will work harder and not cry."

Bai Zhi felt aggrieved and sad, she wanted to say a lot but didn't know where to start, her heart was stagnant, and she had nowhere to vent, so she hugged Mu Tusu and bit his strong shoulder hard.Mutusu endured the pain and let her vent his anger without saying a word.All this happened because of him, and he was also responsible for the consequences.Blame only him for not knowing anything about it.He didn't care about the matter of men and women, he was careless, he only knew that Bai Zhi was his woman, and he could embrace her without any scruples.

Who would have thought that the "matchmaker" between them would have died because of his excessive caressing. This question is worth pondering.

Bai Zhi's mood has not calmed down yet, the next day they greeted the two who were watching the joke, her second mother and younger sister Bai Shao.

Bai Zhi was so angry that she asked Hong Qiao to make tea, and sat with them on the knees.Erniang looked at Bai Zhi with compassionate eyes, took Bai Zhi's hand, and patted the back of her hand: "Zhi'er, pay attention to this from now on, newlyweds, it's human nature to want to be intimate, don't be too sad."

After all, Bai Shao is not more sophisticated than Er Niang, and the corners of her mouth will always overflow with a smile from time to time, she suppresses it, pretending to be serious and said: "For pregnant women, it is best not to have sex in the first three months and the last three months, sister will be more careful in the future."

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, slightly embarrassed.What Erniang and Bai Shao said again, Bai Zhi couldn't listen anymore, she just nodded her head politely.

After they left, another servant knocked on the door.Bai Zhi was in a bad mood and said something bad, so she asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"

The servant took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Bai Zhi: "Madam, a girl said it was for you."

Bai Zhi stared at the letter, took it suspiciously, did not open the letter in front of his family, but waved at him: "Go down."

After the servant retreated, Bai Zhi opened the letter, and there was only one sentence on it.

——Please go to the No. [-] brothel in the capital for a talk.Pei Jiu.
