Chapter 313

Mu Linyuan could no longer sit still, and immediately went to the Prince's Mansion to ask for an audience with Xue Liu, but the result was the same.

Xue Liu did not see him either.

But Mu Linyuan did not dare to make a fuss, because it was Chu Lingxiu himself who refused on behalf of Xue Liu.

As for the reason... Chu Lingxiu said that he had gone out of the city to worship.

However, the reason Bihen gave Lin just now was clearly that Xue Liu was sick and did not see outsiders!

The reasons before and after were different, and this rejection was too perfunctory!

Mu Linyuan smiled and returned to Yangling Marquis Mansion in shame. After discussing with Lin for a long time, he came to the conclusion: Be more obedient these days, let Xue Liu know that they have made a mistake, and then the rest will be easy to talk about.

Lin complained a little about this. After all, in her eyes, she is the mother and Xue Liu is the daughter, and as a daughter, she should not use power to suppress her mother.

Mu Linyuan snorted coldly: "What's the use of complaining? Now even the prince listens to her. What else can we do except give in?"

Mrs. Lin was completely silent this time, and told Mother Zhang to pass the message to Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu.

That night, Mu Linyuan and Mrs. Lin invited Shen Qing, who had been leisurely planting flowers and raising fish in Tinglan Courtyard, to come out for the first time. They flattered and praised her. However, Shen Qing smiled and listened to the whole thing, but in fact, she didn't think of a word.

She was not stupid. The Mu family, who had been indifferent to her yesterday, suddenly became much warmer to her. Even Lin Xuefu was deprived of the right to sit at the table. It was obvious that something must have happened.

There was no change inside and outside the Yangling Marquis's Mansion. Haitang only heard that Mu Linyuan and Mrs. Lin went to the Prince's Mansion one after another during the day, but they came back not long after. Judging from the situation, I'm afraid they didn't even enter the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

In addition, Xue Liu left Yangling Marquis's Mansion angrily before the New Year and did not come back to visit during the New Year. Shen Qing guessed the whole story at once.

Xue Liu began to be dissatisfied with the Mu family, so they set their sights on her. They thought that as the legitimate daughter of Yining Marquis's Mansion and the daughter of Yun Yuan, who was on good terms with Xue Liu, Xue Liu would definitely be tolerant for her sake as long as she spoke.

Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation.

Whether Yangling Marquis's Mansion and Xue Liu were united or had a grudge against each other had nothing to do with her. The only thing Shen Qing wanted to do now was to waste his days in Tinglan Courtyard. As for other things, they were not within Shen Qing's consideration.

So when Lin asked Shen Qing to go to the Prince's Mansion with her tomorrow, Shen Qing refused without thinking.

Lin's face immediately turned cold, but she endured it and did not get angry.

Xue Liu holds the power and future of Yangling Marquis Mansion, while Shen Qing holds the food, clothing and expenses of Yangling Marquis Mansion. In the current situation, it is obviously not appropriate to offend both sides.

After dinner, Shen Qing responded and got up and left, leaving a large table of Mu family members who began to be dissatisfied.

A few days later, Lin went to the Prince's Mansion again under the urging of Mu Linyuan, but was still turned away.

Shen Qing could not rely on her, and Xue Liu was still biting hard. The Mu family fell into anxiety all of a sudden, and even Mu Ziqian followed suit. After all, if Mu Linyuan and Lin were in a bad mood, he would also be scolded.

In the days that followed, Lin would go to the Prince's Mansion from time to time.

Mu Linyuan thought that since Lin had been rejected many times, Xue Liu would definitely come out to see her because of the pressure of rumors, but he didn't expect that Xue Liu would not be fooled by him at all.

February 16th was Mu Linyuan's birthday. Lin had sent an invitation early in the morning. She thought it would be ignored as usual, after all, Mu Xueliu had been turned away for a whole month. Unexpectedly, Xueliu came with a gift.

The moment they saw Xueliu, the eyes of the Mu family were bright, especially Mu Linyuan, whose attitude could be described as earth-shaking.

In the past, he always relied on his father's status to be arrogant, but now he was completely worn out by Xueliu.

At noon, the whole Yangling Marquis's Mansion celebrated Mu Linyuan's birthday together, and Shen Qing, who had always lived in seclusion, was forced to come out and walk through the ceremony.

After lunch, Xueliu wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mu Linyuan and Lin.

Having been cold to the two for more than a month, Xueliu naturally did not refuse their face again.

However, as soon as she arrived at the gate of Qifu Hall, Xueliu suddenly felt a wave of nausea. However, Xueliu held the magnolia tree in the courtyard and vomited for a long time, but nothing came out.

Seeing Xueliu's pale face, Lin thought of a possibility and asked Zhang Mama to invite Zhang Taifu over.

If things were really as she expected... the current crisis of Yangling Marquis's Mansion would be solved.

Not long after, Zhang Taifu was hurriedly pulled over by Zhang Mama, and Bihen was stroking Xueliu's back.

After a while, Zhang Taifu looked at Xueliu with a smile on her face, "Congratulations, Concubine, you are pregnant, and it has been more than a month now."

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet.

After the calm, everyone was happy.

Mu Linyuan and Lin had a strong smile on their faces. Xueliu was pregnant, and their Yangling Marquis's good days would be even better in the future.

Mu Ziqian was thinking about Lin Xuefu. Xue Liu was pregnant, which meant that she would have to devote most of her energy to taking care of the baby, and would have no extra time to keep an eye on the Yangling Marquis Mansion. At that time, he could welcome Lin Xuefu into the house with great fanfare.

Xue Liutong's face was full of joy. Although Dr. Wang had long diagnosed that she would be able to recover after a period of rest, but she had damaged her roots before, and there was no news about her stomach for a full year. Xue Liu knew this, so she couldn't help but feel sad from time to time. Hidden worries.

Now, the big stone hanging in her heart has finally fallen to the ground, and she finally doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.

After everyone in the Mu family digested the news, Doctor Zhang continued: "The concubine has been injured before, so you must be careful this time, especially cold things, and you must not touch them again."

Xue Liu agreed, while Bi Hen took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Doctor Zhang's hand. The latter thanked him repeatedly, then turned around and walked out of the house with Zhang's mother.

It wasn't until the sound of the door being closed that Mu Linyuan said with a happy face: "Xue'er, you child, you came at the right time!"

There are still two months until Jiang Li gets married, but Xue Liu is pregnant at this time. If she can successfully give birth to Chu Lingxiu's eldest son, then Xue Liu's status will really be untouchable by anyone.

Because she was happy in her heart, Xue Liu's attitude towards Mu Linyuan also improved a lot, "Father is right, but after all, this child is only one month old, and there are countless people watching me secretly, so before the three-month pregnancy is stable, Don’t make any announcement about this matter for now.”

Speaking of business, Xue Liu's expression instantly became much more serious.

Xue Liu thought very clearly that the appearance of this child would undoubtedly make the emperor happy, but what followed was countless crises. All the concubines, queens, and even Jiang Li in the prince's palace were about to come. It's impossible to let her go easily.

Although Chu Lingxiu will definitely send more people to protect her, as the saying goes, it is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to avoid a hidden arrow, so the best way is to hide the matter for the time being.

Hearing what Xue Liu said, Mu Linyuan and the other three, who were looking happy, instantly calmed down a lot. It is easy to get pregnant but difficult to preserve the fetus. This is a rule that everyone in the palace knows. Since the prince is the crown prince, the danger in the back house is naturally not the same. exception.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Linyuan assured Xue Liu: "Don't worry, everyone in the Yanglinghou Mansion will remain tight-lipped until we get your permission."

Xue Liu was obviously not at ease with Mu Linyuan. Even though Mu Linyuan had already made a guarantee, Xue Liu explained it in detail. It was related to the future of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, so Xue Liu had to be cautious.

After getting the three people's sworn guarantees, Xue Liu took Bihen back to the Prince's Mansion. Before leaving, he inevitably had to bring up the old matters again. The matter of consummating the marriage with Shen Qing could not be delayed any longer. Mu Ziqian's face was pulled. , and finally chose to compromise.

It's just a temporary measure, so there's nothing wrong with agreeing to Xue Liu for the time being.

How could Xue Liu not see the twists and turns in his eyes, but she didn't expose them.

…

When Xue Liu returned to the Prince's Mansion, Chu Lingxiu came back from outside.

After getting off the carriage, Chu Lingxiu took a few steps forward and took Xue Liu's hand, and the two walked side by side toward the mansion, just like an ordinary couple.

When he walked to the door of the courtyard, Xue Liu gently squeezed Chu Lingxiu's palm. The latter turned his head in confusion and saw Xue Liu slightly tiptoeing and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness, Xue'er has a good news to tell you. ”

Chu Lingxiu was a little puzzled, but Xue Liu shook her head, and her eyes indicated that she could only speak when she got to the house.

The two of them entered the house with their front legs, and Bihen carefully closed the door with their back legs. This momentum made Chu Lingxiu even more curious.

Xue Liu pulled Chu Lingxiu to sit down on the soft couch and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness, we have a child."

After the words fell, Chu Lingxiu's face was calm, and it was obvious that he had not reacted yet.

The next moment, her calm eyes were filled with surprise. She looked at Xue Liu's belly and eagerly confirmed, "Is it true?"

Xue Liu nodded: "Well, it was just found out at Yanglinghou Mansion. It has been just over a month now."

Chu Lingxiu's face became even more joyful, and suddenly he felt Xue Liu clenching his fingertips a little harder, and then said with a serious face: "Your Highness, the doctor told me that because of the previous damage to the root, I will not be pregnant this time." You have to take good care of it to give birth to a child smoothly, especially cold things, which are untouchable at all, so I want to hide the news for now and make it public when the time is right. What do you think, Your Highness?"

The implication of Xue Liu's words was also very clear: in the entire Prince's Mansion, she only believed in Chu Lingxiu.

Chu Lingxiu's expression was slightly condensed, but he understood in his heart that Xue Liu's worries were not unreasonable. Although the queen had promised that he would not interfere with the affairs of the Prince's Mansion anymore, the premise was that Xue Liu had not touched the interests of the Jiang family. Now Xue Liu's belly She was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the royal family. Not to mention Xue Liu's worries, even his own son had to wonder whether the queen would go back on her word and take some countermeasures.

Since she could place Cui Mo in the Prince's Mansion without anyone noticing, she could also place other people, but Xue Liu's body couldn't bear any more torture.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingxiu held Xue Liu's hand tightly and said seriously: "I understand your worries. Don't worry, everything will be done as you said. As for the decoction you have been drinking to nourish your body, I’ll ask people to quietly switch to medicinal herbs that protect the fetus.”

This pregnancy is not easy to come by. From now on, you just need to take good care of the baby at home, and there is no need to worry about other things. "

Xue Liu nodded moved, and Chu Lingxiu hugged her directly into his arms, with a gentle voice: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."

This time, he will definitely protect Xue Liu and the child in her belly.
