Chapter 369
Tao Yao glared at him tearfully, but didn't know what to say, because she didn't know why she was crying suddenly, but she felt very uncomfortable.

People say that pregnant women are more emotionally sensitive, and she may be because of pregnancy.

But she didn't know how to explain it to Lu Jiuyuan.

She wiped away her tears and said, "I don't know, I just want to cry."

Lu Jiuyuan pursed his lips, hugged her on his lap and sat down, stroking her back with his palm, and asked warmly, "But what's wrong?"

"I don't feel well all over." Tao Yao frowned, stroking the position of her heart with her hand, always feeling a little lost and empty here.

Seeing this, Lu Jiuyuan felt worried, and immediately said, "Then I'll ask the doctor to come and see it for you."

"I don't want to see the doctor." Tao Yao stopped immediately.

"But you're not feeling well..." Lu Jiuyuan looked at her uncertainly.

"I'll be fine after a night of sleep." Tao Yao thought for a while.

"Are you sure?" Lu Jiuyuan hesitated.

"En." Tao Yao nodded affirmatively.

Hearing this, Lu Jiuyuan carried her into the bed and lay on her side, "Then you lie down first, and you must tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Got it." Tao Yao nodded obediently, but looking at the man who covered her with the quilt, she couldn't help asking, "Do you really have no other women outside?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said helplessly, "Why do you think I have a woman outside?"

Tao Yao pursed her lips, it's hard to say that the two haven't seen each other for nearly a month, but he didn't touch her when they were reunited today.

"I feel it."

"Is your feeling accurate?" Lu Jiuyuan sighed, and lay down beside her sideways. "If you feel uncomfortable, you should rest earlier and stop thinking about it. Nothing you worry about will happen."

Tao Yao looked up at the man's handsome face and firm eyes, and finally believed his words.

But thinking of a possibility, she couldn't help but said: "Then you went to suppress the rebellion this time, didn't you get hurt?" After a pause, she added in a low voice, "If you got hurt in a more obscure place, you don't have to hide it from me. We have to be aggressive about it."

The more Lu Jiuyuan heard the more something was wrong, and he frowned, "I'm not injured."

Tao Yao glanced at him vaguely, "Really?"

Catching her strange gaze, Lu Jiuyuan paused, vaguely understanding what she wanted to say.

"If you can bear it, go ahead and try." He also glanced at her vaguely, with a smile on his lips.

Tao Yao's face burned, she yawned deliberately, and turned around, "I, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."

"En." Lu Jiuyuan absently answered behind her.

Tao Yao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but she noticed that his hand stretched out and pulled her belt away with familiar movements.

Tao Yao: "..."

……

It was Dong'er's turn to be on duty tonight, she sat on the porch, guarding against any orders from inside.

However, according to her past experience, the Duke loves his wife very much, and would not torment her very much in the middle of the night, so even if he is on duty at night, nothing will happen.

Thinking of this, she wrapped herself in a blanket, and was about to take a nap for a while. If she was lucky, she might be able to sleep until dawn.

However, she had just dreamed of Duke Zhou, when a bell rang suddenly, waking her up.

Sensing that it was coming from the direction of the main house, she froze and hurriedly opened the door and went in.

When the Duke was around, the people below did not dare to enter the inner room, and Dong'er was the same at this time. She waited by the curtain leading to the inner room, and asked respectfully, "What orders does the Duke have?"

"Prepare water." A hoarse voice sounded.

Dong'er was startled, and lowered her head even lower, not daring to raise her head, and immediately replied: "Yes."

She went down quickly, and called a few maids and servants to carry the hot water into the inner room.

In the tent, Tao Yao huddled in Lu Jiuyuan's arms, not daring to move, her long hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her temples, but her face was as red as blood.

Listening to the movement outside, she was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground.

This was the first time she encountered such a thing, and she wanted to stop Lu Jiuyuan, but it was too late, he had already rang the bell and gave orders.

When she and Lu Jiuyuan consummated their marriage, they were in the frontier mansion. It was cold at that time, so he didn't bother anyone.

Soon after returning to Beijing, she became pregnant...

Just when her thoughts were chaotic, Lu Jiuyuan got up and carried her into the bathtub.

Only then did she realize that all the servants had left.

Seeing this, she felt relieved.

Lu Jiuyuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and brushed her wet hair back with his long fingers.

……

The next day, while Tao Yao was still asleep, Tao Lian came suddenly.

Xi'er was about to go into the house to wake Tao Yao up, but Dong'er stopped her.

"Madam was exhausted last night. It's okay to ask Miss Tao Wu to wait for a while."

Xi'er was taken aback and glanced at her.

She wasn't on duty last night, so she naturally didn't know what was going on in the main house.

But after Dong'er said this, she immediately understood what was going on.

"Then let Madam sleep a little longer, and I'll go talk to Miss Wu."

Dong'er nodded.

Xi'er brought the freshly baked pastries, and took Tao Lian to sit in the gazebo.

"Fifth girl, this is the freshly steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the kitchen, try it."

Tao Lian smelled the refreshing sweet-scented osmanthus cake and was already greedy. Hearing this, he was not polite and reached out to take it.

But after eating two yuan, she finally remembered the purpose of this trip, shook Xi'er's hand and said, "Xi'er, is my fourth sister still awake?"

Xi'er nodded, "Yes, Miss is heavy, and she usually sleeps late before getting up.

If the fifth girl is fine, she can sit for a while until the young lady wakes up. "

Tao Lian frowned slightly, "But His Royal Highness will pick me up soon."

Xi'er was surprised and said: "The fifth girl is looking for the young lady for something?"

Tao Lian didn't hide it from her, and explained the purpose of this trip, "The prince invited me to go boating on the river today, and I want to invite my fourth sister to accompany me."

Xi'er heard the words, and hurriedly said: "This can't be done. Miss, she is pregnant, so it may not be appropriate to go boating."

Tao Lian was discouraged, "That's fine, I'll go by myself." Thinking of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Why did I forget her? I can ask her to go with me."

"Who?" Xi'er asked curiously.

"Xu Ying." Tao Lian replied, "She is the candidate for the crown prince's side concubine, I invite her to go with her, it is very suitable."

Xi'er frowned when she heard that, and seeing the innocent appearance of the fifth girl, she couldn't help reminding: "Fifth girl, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only invited you, this servant feels that it is better for you to go by yourself, and there is no need to invite others, so as not to offend His Highness." Not fast."

Tao Lian said with some distress: "But, but I don't want to be alone with the prince..."

Especially thinking about what happened at Gu's house last night and asking her to face Qi Yan alone again, she felt a little uncomfortable.

That's why she wanted to ask Tao Yao to go with her.

But Tao Yao was pregnant, so it was really wrong to go boating with her.

And the second sister just got married yesterday, so it is even more impossible to accompany her.

As for the third sister, it was even worse, she had severe morning sickness.
