Chapter 209
In the East Palace, flowers are in full bloom in Qunfang Garden, butterflies are flying among the flowers, and the air is full of pleasant fragrance.With the support of the palace people, Xu Liangdi walked slowly on the road in the garden.She had already passed the most dangerous three months before, but the crown prince was nervous about her and did not allow her to leave the scope of the Eastern Palace.Therefore, I can only walk around in this group of fragrant gardens to exercise.

The so-called acting has to be a full set, even if it is a fake pregnancy, Xu Liangdi has to act like it is real.It is also impossible for her to be trapped in her own room every day. After all, a pregnant woman also needs to exercise her body so that the child can be born safely.

Looking at the palace servants on the third floor to the left and the third floor to the right, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in Xu Liangdi's eyes.Although this is the path she chose, it is still difficult to accept such a life.Now she only hopes that she can truly conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible, so that she won't be as frightened as she is now, and can't even sleep well every day.

After shopping for about half an hour, Xu Liangdi left calmly.The sweet fragrance of flowers in the air seemed to fade away with the departure of this group of people.

Han's Palace.

Reclining on the soft couch, Concubine Su Gui was graceful and charming, and the delicate court lady half-kneeled beside her, carefully painting her nails, outlining a beautiful peony pattern.

"Ma'am, Madam Su, please see me."

"Let her in, you all back down!"

"Yes!"

The palace people bowed to leave respectfully, and then, a middle-aged woman came in and knelt down in front of Concubine Su Gui.

"The servant has seen the empress!"

"Come on, how are things going?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a bit of a surprise. As long as a pregnant woman smells the scent of falling spirits for seven days in a row, she will definitely have a baby! But Xu Liangdi has been walking in the garden for ten days in a row, and she is still as safe as before. From a servant's point of view, either, Xu Liangdi was prepared and saw through Luoshenxiang. Or, that Xu Liangdi was pregnant with a fake pregnancy at all!"

Su Guifei is well aware of the power of Luoshen Incense. She used this incense to deal with countless evils, and never left any excuses.What's more, if it is water sprinkled on the road along the garden, no one will find anything unusual when it is mixed with the fragrance of flowers.The biggest possibility is that Xu Liangdi is not pregnant!
"What a prince, you really came up with such a trick!"

Concubine Su Gui sneered, she had only guessed in this regard before, but also due to Emperor Xingwen's acquiescing statement, she did not want to make His Majesty unhappy by forcing herself out.But the situation is different now, she wants the crown prince to fight Jin Wang, as long as she proceeds carefully, if planting the blame on Jin Wang will lose the face of the royal family, what does it matter to her?

It's just that how to do this matter perfectly requires a good plan.

In the capital at dusk, a doctor carrying a medicine box suddenly appeared in a courtyard at the entrance of Tianyuan Alley.Seeing this, the shadow hidden in the dark immediately became vigilant and ordered the people around him to quickly follow.

The doctor knocked on the door, and soon someone appeared and brought him into the room.It was not until he entered the innermost woodshed of the house that he finally disappeared.In the dark night, a pair of eyes passed through the gap in the roof, saw the secret room that appeared in the firewood room, and after remembering the opening mechanism, he carefully left.

East Palace.

"Your Highness, the old lady in the other courtyard became seriously ill last night. The subordinates and others went to the doctor and said that she would not survive for a month. Please show Your Highness how to deal with this woman!"

Mu Yunbin raised his head, and only then remembered who the other party was talking about. The only ones he placed in the other courtyard were Du Juan and his mother who were used as threats.But now, Du Juan has died in Yushan Town, so it is really useless for the old woman to keep her.

"Kill it."

"Yes!" The guard took the order, and when he was about to leave, Mu Yunbin frowned suddenly and stopped him: "Wait, let's keep it for now! Let the doctor be careful, don't let her die!"

Although the old lady is just an outside room, she has something to do with the Du family no matter what, so it might be useful to keep it.

An Yihou Mansion.

"Miss, the master ordered you not to eat alone in the house tonight, he is going to prepare a grand family banquet."

"Okay, I get it."

He spoke perfunctorily, obviously not taking this matter to heart.Putting down the pen in her hand, Xie Xinyue nodded in satisfaction as she saw that she could finally read the handwriting.The weather is fine today, and after she finishes her work, she plans to go out to bask in the sun.After going out with the two maids, only to find that the faces of the servants in the mansion were full of joy, and they were diligently cleaning up, quite a bit like celebrating the New Year with lanterns and festoons.

"What's the matter? Is there any happy event?"

"Back to the eldest girl, the master looked very happy after returning to the mansion today, and ordered to reward each of the servants in the mansion with a reward of [-] Wen. Naturally, they are so happy."

"Oh? And this?"

Xie Xinyue was a little surprised, he knew Xie Anhua's temperament, at least, he was definitely not generous.With so much money scattered today, I'm afraid something good has happened.But she wasn't in a hurry, with Xie Anhua's flamboyant temperament, she would definitely say it at the family dinner later.

Sure enough, during the dinner, the dishes were very sumptuous. Xie Anhua sat at the head seat, with a smug smile on his face that couldn't be stopped, and Tang shi who was at the side subconsciously asked.

"The master is so happy today, but what is the happy event? Let's hear it, so we can congratulate the master."

"Hehehe, it's nothing. Today, the Ministry of Officials issued a decree to promote me to be the servant of the Ministry of Rites under the fourth rank, and I will take up the post tomorrow!"

Xie Anhua opened his mouth pretending not to care, but the look of satisfaction on his face was extremely obvious. Of course, he also glanced at Xie Xinyue intentionally or unintentionally, not to mention the joy in his heart.He has been in the official fifth-rank literary official for too many years, and he has not been promoted to an official after throwing a lot of money.Although the Ministry of Rites is the department with the least power among the six ministries, it can't stand the high position!Moreover, as long as he does well, there may not be no possibility of rising.

There is a son-in-law who is a prince, why worry that the Anyihou Mansion will not be carried forward in his hands?Fortunately, he gave birth to a good daughter. Thinking of this, the joy on his face became even brighter.

"Master, this is really wonderful!"

"Really? Congratulations to my father!"

"Yes, yes, father, it's really great! Minister of Rites, you can go to the morning court, and from now on, father will be able to see the face of the Holy Majesty every day!"

A group of people chirped and congratulated Xie Anhua, and Xie Xinyue naturally flattered him, no wonder he was so happy, now that he has been promoted, his wish has been fulfilled.The servant of the Ministry of Rites is really good, there are few fights and not too many disputes, Mu Yunshen's arrangement is quite suitable for Xie Anhua.

However, this sudden promotion of two levels, in the eyes of outsiders, isn't it too obvious?

"Master, you don't have to worry. Your Highness means to let Mr. Xie sit in this position all the time. What's more, it is not too much to reward Mr. Xie with such a position based on your achievements. Even if those officials are Knowing this is the reason, I dare not embarrass the master, but flatter him instead!"

Jin Yan explained something, and Xie Xinyue immediately understood, no wonder Xie Anhua didn't look worried at all.That being the case, she didn't bother to ask for trouble.

Xie Anhua was promoted to an official position, so naturally the Tang family couldn't do without flattery and flattery, trying their best to please.Now that she is in the house, the only person she can rely on is Xie Anhua.Early the next morning, she took Xie Xinqin with her and planned to go to the Great Buddha Temple to seek a good lottery for Xie Anhua to be promoted to a higher rank.In addition, now that Xie Xinqin's marriage has been decided, she also hopes to ask more in front of the Bodhisattva, and hopes that her daughter can live happily in the Yang family.

Xie Xinyue has no restrictions on the behavior of the mother and daughter, as long as they don't cause trouble for her, she doesn't even want to argue with them.

"Finally, I don't have to see that woman anymore. Alas, we are so pitiful that we have been forced into such a situation!" After leaving the An Yihou Mansion, the Tang mother and daughter also heaved a sigh of relief.As Xie Xinyue's prestige grew, they trembled in fear when they saw her.For the mother and daughter, Xie Xinyue is a real disaster!
"That's right. Fortunately, she will get married in two months. When my mother is at the house, I don't have to look at her face everywhere." Xie Xinqin nodded and said in agreement.She has accepted her fate now, although she does not want to marry Yang Zhenxing at all, the current situation does not allow her to refuse.

The mother and daughter sat in the carriage and drove towards the direction of the Great Buddha Temple unhurriedly.The weather has warmed up at the end of April, and the road is lush green, just looking at it makes people feel comfortable.Although the Great Buddha Temple is a famous temple, it is also located in the outskirts of the courtyard and needs to pass through a forest.

"Hiss."

A strange sound of piercing the air suddenly sounded, and in the next second, several long arrows flew out, all of which sank into the wheels of the carriage.The horse let out a shrill neigh, and the entire carriage shook violently.

"What's going on? Old Wang, what happened?"

Tang and Xie Xinqin were staggered by the sudden shaking, and managed to stabilize their bodies with the help of the maid, and then asked anxiously.

"No, it's not good—madam, yes, someone is going to kill us."

As soon as the coachman's trembling words fell, a group of ferocious men suddenly jumped out of the originally quiet forest, and surrounded the entire carriage.These men all looked tall and big, and they all had hideous scars on their faces. At first glance, they looked like murderous figures.

"My God! Mom, what should we do?"

Seeing the scene outside through the car window, Xie Xinqin was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Tang's face was also pale, and she tightly held her daughter's hand.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? We are from the Anyihou Mansion. If you dare to hurt our wife and miss, be careful and walk away!"

This time when going out, Tang's mother and daughter only brought the coachman and two servants with them besides the accompanying maid.These two servants are good at punching and kicking, so they are more courageous, trying to use the name of An Yihou Mansion to scare away these villains with a cold face.

"What is Anyihou's Mansion? I have never heard of it, sir! You look like you are dressed like a dog, and you must be a rich man in the city. Brothers are not doing well recently. This lady of what Hou's Mansion must be He is a kind person, willing to lend a helping hand to the brothers, right?"

"Brother is right! Madams and ladies are kind-hearted, just reward us with some silver, which is enough for us to eat and drink!"

The leader of the big man, Diao Erlang, spoke in a local way, obviously in the rhythm of asking for money.Seeing that these people just blocked them and did not make a move, and now they are asking for money directly, Tang Corps was immediately relieved.As long as it is not those desperadoes, money is something outside of the body, and it is not as important as life.
