The scale of the copper pot reached the second watch, and the teacher finally said: "Go and rest."

Concubine Liu heaved a sigh of relief, clasped her palms together and saluted, got up and went back to her room.

As soon as she entered the room, her mouth was covered.

Fortunately, she was mentally prepared and stabilized soon.

"Auntie is so calm, it seems that this year's cleansing will be of great benefit!" Yan Cheng's faint voice came, and at the same time he released her hand.

Concubine Liu smiled and turned to look behind her.

There was no light in the room, only the faint light from under the eaves shone in, casting a hazy shadow.

"A Cheng, you're finally here. I haven't seen you for a year. How are you doing?"

Yan Cheng replied calmly: "It's not that good, but it's finally going well."

Concubine Liu looked very relieved: "It's good that you are well. You don't know, this year, my aunt has been praying for you every day, and I hope the Buddha will bless you in safety and success."

Yan Cheng let out a chuckle: "Really? Thank you aunt for your concern."

Concubine Liu still wanted to say some sweet words to get closer, but was interrupted by Yan Cheng: "I came here tonight, I took a great risk, so I won't talk to my aunt again. I don't know if my aunt insists on seeing me , is there something important?"

Concubine Liu hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that Xu San has been visiting frequently recently, I thought it would be better to tell you."

Yan Cheng sneered in his heart, if he hadn't asked someone to ask, she would have brought it up?
"So it's this one. I heard that she didn't bully my aunt. It doesn't matter if you think about it."

"That's what I said, but my aunt is worried about you! Xu San is full of tricks, who knows what she's up to?"

Yan Cheng stared at her twice before replying: "I guess my aunt knows how Xi'er was bought by her."

Concubine Liu explained: "Don't worry, you are my aunt's only relative, and only your aunt has hope. Could it be that Xu San will treat me leniently when he is in power?"

Yan Cheng nodded: "It's good that Aunt is not confused."

Seeing his good attitude, Concubine Liu felt relieved. Speaking of Xu Yin's performance every time she came back, the attitude of the teachers, mothers and mothers towards her was also greatly improved, etc., and hinted that her life was hard.

Yan Cheng was annoyed in his heart, but his tone was still gentle: "It was my negligence. Earlier, the palace guards kept a close eye on it, so it was hard for me to send things. I think my mother has relaxed. I will think of a way in a few days."

Concubine Liu was very happy: "Auntie will feel at ease if you have this kind of heart." Then she asked tentatively, "I don't know when I will see you next time?"

Yan Cheng replied: "It's different now, it's inconvenient for me to stay in the palace, let alone go out in the middle of the night. My aunt just waits with peace of mind. Although the Taiyuan Palace is poor, it didn't bully you. I'll ask someone to take care of you later. Think about it, the days will be better."

Concubine Liu sighed: "But I don't know when I will be able to step out of Taiyuan Palace."

Yan Cheng suppressed his displeasure, and replied: "Auntie, what's the hurry? Now that my father has just ascended the throne, I must have a more secure position to do things, don't you think so?"

Concubine Liu was barely satisfied: "You are right. It has been difficult to be a prince since ancient times, let alone you have such a brother."

Yan Cheng was stabbed by her words, he took it easy, and said: "Okay, I've been out for too long, and it won't be good if someone finds out. Auntie, take care."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Concubine Liu to respond, she winked at her confidant outside the window, and quietly went out with his help.

Concubine Liu looked at the empty room, and said for a long time: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of Xu San, heh."

……

It was already the second day when Xu Yin heard the news.

It was rare for Qi Han to enter the palace, and he listened to it seriously, and asked her: "What is the princess planning to do? Do you want to tell Your Majesty?"

Xu Yin shook his head: "The imperial palace is His Majesty's imperial palace, he must have known it a long time ago."

Qi Han was overjoyed: "Then..."

"We don't need to do anything." Xu Yin interrupted her, "Give Your Majesty some buffer time first."

Qi Han thought for a while, and praised: "My concubine is brilliant, I think His Majesty has never thought about this matter, she must be in a complicated mood at the moment, if others do too much, they will only make more mistakes, and His Majesty will not like it."

Xu Yin nodded.What she is most worried about is that this incident will cause future troubles, which will eventually kill the queen.Now that Emperor Ming De is intervening, he must not allow others to hurt the queen, so she can let go.

As for the matter between Emperor Ming De and Yan Cheng and his son, she has neither control nor desire to control it.

"Don't mention this, let's talk about you, we've been married for two months, how do you feel?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qi Han's face: "No, there's nothing to say, that's all."

It was rare to see her so shy, but Xu Yin was more interested in teasing her: "Why, is General Du treating you badly? I think he should be more careful than a reckless young man at his age. Don't worry, I will talk about him later. .”

Qi Han was even more embarrassed: "It's pretty good... Hey, don't ask the princess..."

……

In July, Xu Yin's body became heavy.

Only then did she feel the hardships of pregnancy.The child was punched and kicked in the stomach, and the belly was stretched so badly that he couldn't walk as nimbly as before.

The queen said: "This child is like his father. When I was pregnant with Ah Ling, it was the same in the last few months. I was often woken up by him in the middle of the night, and I couldn't sleep."

Xu Yin smiled: "It turns out that he made my mother suffer so much, wait for him to come back and beat her to vent her anger."

Speaking of this, the queen asked with concern: "How is the battle going? Can we finish this year?"

Xu Yin replied: "A Ling has already said that Dongjiang will send troops, and the decisive battle is just around the corner. If it goes well, it will probably be in September."

The queen nodded: "When he comes back, the child will be born. It's really hard for you to survive the pregnancy alone."

Xu Yin said with a smile: "Where is a person? My mother takes care of me from the beginning to the end. I don't have to worry about it, which saves a lot of effort."

The queen was happy: "You child, your speech is getting better and better."

At this time, there was a sound from outside: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace."

The queen was stunned for a moment, and stood up to greet her: "Why is it so early today?"

The sun hadn't set yet, and usually he would come back after an hour of administration after dinner.

Emperor Mingde sat down and said: "I think I have been too tired recently, and the old injury is aching, so I simply came back to rest."

The queen was surprised: "The old injury has recurred? Why didn't you say it earlier? Hurry up and ask the imperial physician."

Emperor Mingde called the palace man to stop, and replied: "No, the imperial doctor has already seen it. It's not a big problem, just rest and rest."

Having said that, how could the queen not be worried?There was a chatter around Emperor Mingde.

Seeing that Emperor Mingde couldn't hold back, Xu Yin got up knowingly and left.

After leaving the Zichen Palace, Xiao Man couldn't help sighing: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty have such a good relationship."

Xu Yin nodded with a smile, but there was a trace of doubt in his heart: Emperor Mingde's injury was healed by her staring at it. The military doctor clearly told her that there was no future trouble left, so why did it suddenly relapse?
