Chapter 524 Pregnancy

Hearing this, Rong Zheng's eyes darkened, and he began to think about it.It seems that these people are really not kind, but I don't know why they suddenly mentioned the empress?

Yin Qingrong turned around and looked at Rong Zheng.

Dong Xue saw Yin Qingrong stop, a fleeting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she lowered her head, and said no more.

"Are you on good terms with the Empress?" Yin Qingrong said lightly after looking at Rong Zheng for a moment.

Rongzheng's brows were barely visible, and after thinking about it, he answered half-emptyly, "The empress has a noble status, and the little girl is just a commoner, so how can it be said that she is on good terms with the empress? It's just that the empress bought it from the little girl. Just spice."

Song Qinghuan's visit to the Chenxiang Pavilion can be found out with a little inquiring. Since the maid made it up on purpose, she obviously came prepared, and denying it is not a good idea.

"Oh?" Rong Zheng raised his eyebrows with great interest, went to the shop and sat down again, "I wonder what spices the empress bought from you?"

Rong Zheng smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry Chang Di Ji, these are the privacy of our customers, without my permission, my little girl is inconvenient to disclose."

Seeing that Yin Qingrong frowned, seeming displeased, Rong Zheng hurried ahead of her and continued, "If someone comes to ask Chang Di Ji what spices she bought later, my little girl will keep her mouth shut."

She had already talked about this point, if she kept messing around, she would lose face, Yin Qingrong bit her lips resentfully, and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing this, Dongxue at the side rolled her eyes, looked at Rong Zheng and said with a smile, "Ms. Murong is too modest. This servant heard that...the Queen Empress has a very good relationship with Ms. Murong, and she wants to be a matchmaker for Ms. Murong."

Speaking of which, he took a look at Yin Qingrong, "Your Highness, you also know this matchmaker, the General Chu whom we met on the street just now."

Rongzheng's heart skipped a beat, feeling that the visitor was not kind.

Could it be that... the empress is just an introduction, and their real purpose is to come here for Mu Bai?

His eyes swept across Yin Qingrong's face calmly, and seeing the shock in her eyes, he couldn't help feeling sour.

She knew that Mu Bai had stayed with the emperor in Liang Country for a long time, so it was hard to guarantee that he and Ning Le Chang Di Ji would not know each other.Could it be that Ning Le Changdi Ji heard about her and Mu Bai, so she came here to find out what happened to her?
wrong.

Seeing the shock in Yin Qingrong's eyes, she should have just heard the news.

so--

She shifted her eyes to Dong Xue's face, just in time to see the strange color flashing in her eyes, and the eyes couldn't help but sink.

In other words, what happened today should have been made by this maid named Dongxue.So, is she arguing for her master?Or is there another purpose?

Yin Qingrong's eyelashes trembled, and she said a little sourly, "You...you know Mu Bai?"

Hearing her call so intimately, Rongzheng naturally felt very uncomfortable. After settling his mind, he greeted her with unwavering eyes, "Yes."

"The empress is interested in being a matchmaker for you?"

Rong Zheng lowered his head, seemingly shy, and didn't say anything, but in Yin Qingrong's eyes, it was an acquiescence.Seeing Rongzheng's face like a peach blossom, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

No wonder he still took good care of himself in the Infinite Mausoleum, but when we saw each other just now, he had an icy expression on his face, as if he was a stranger to him.It turned out that he already had a sweetheart and wanted to avoid suspicion.

There was a cold snort in my heart, and my face suddenly became ugly.

Rongzheng swept Lingling's eyes away, took a panoramic view of her expression, and quickly turned his eyes to look at Dongxue with a smile on his face, "It's not long since Miss Dongxue came here, and she even knows these little things, look I am very concerned about the empress. When I see the empress next time, I will definitely bring Miss Dongxue's concern."

Hearing the threatening meaning in her words, although Dongxue was annoyed, she could only smile embarrassingly and dared not say any more.

Rongzheng looked back at Yin Qingrong, "Is there anything else Changdiji needs for a little girl? The little girl is just halfway through the spice preparation. If Changdiji has no other orders, the little girl will go upstairs first."

Yin Qingrong raised her head, gave her a deep look, and finally moved her lips, "Miss Murong, take my leave."

Saying that, without looking at her again, he turned and left the Chenxiang Pavilion.

Dongxue stuffed the silver in her hands into the hands of the shopkeeper, and rushed out with her three servant girls, Spring, Summer and Autumn.

The falling felt curtain quickly blocked their figures, Rongzheng frowned, stared fixedly for a moment, then turned around suddenly, looked at the shopkeeper as usual and ordered, "I'm going upstairs first, and if anyone wants to see me, just Say I'm not here."

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he agreed and watched her go upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the Accord, Mu Bai, who was pacing in the room, heard the sound, seeing that it was Rong Zheng, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, walked up to her hurriedly, looked her up and down, and said, "Ah Zheng, how are they? Didn't make things difficult for you?"

Rong Zheng shook his head, took a look at Mu Bai, closed the door, walked to the Chang table and sat down without saying a word.

When Mu Bai saw it, his face darkened, he went to sit down opposite her, frowned and said, "Azheng, what's wrong?"

Rong Zheng looked up at him and saw that he was nervous. Although he felt wronged in his heart, he felt that Mu Bai didn't know anything, and it seemed that he shouldn't take this anger on him.

Furthermore, her temperament has always been calm, and she seemed unable to act coquettishly at Mu Bai, so she held it in for a long time before she could say, "You...does Ning Le Chang Di Ji like you?"

When Mu Bai heard this, he was stunned, and after a while he couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "Azheng, where did this news come from?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be false?" Rong Zheng glanced at him, her lips curled up slightly.

Mu Bai frowned, puzzled, "How is that possible?" He got up, walked to Rong Zheng and sat down, looked at her seriously and said, "A Zheng, what did Ning Le Changdi Ji say just now?"

Rong Zheng told him what happened just now.

After hearing this, Mu Bai was a little puzzled, "Azheng...the fact that they came to you out of nowhere is indeed a little unclear, but how can this tell that Ning Le Chang Di Ji is interested in me?"

Rong Zheng glanced at him, "Intuition!"

Mu Bai smiled wryly, and was about to explain, when he suddenly thought of something, he changed his words, "Azheng, I don't care what she thinks, but I only have you in my heart. When I enter the palace next time, I will invite The young master gave us a marriage. When we have a marriage contract, we have nothing to do with what other people think."

Rong Zheng heard him speak sincerely, and the last trace of unhappiness in his heart disappeared.Mu Bai is right, as long as he is not interested in Yin Qingrong, even if Yin Qingrong likes him, so what?

Glancing at Rong Zheng's expression, Mu Bai knew that she didn't think too much, smiled, and then said, "I finally came back, let's not talk about others, how is Ah Zheng doing during this time?"

……

Rong Zheng and Mu Bai were talking to each other here, but on the other side, in the carriage where Yin Qingrong was sitting, the atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

Yin Qingrong sat in the middle, half leaning against the wall of the car, her eyes were closed, her face was a bit gloomy.

Dongxue glanced at her without making a sound, but there was a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Yin Qingrong didn't notice her strangeness, because she was quite upset in her heart now.

Ever since she came out of Chenxiang Pavilion, she felt a fire in her heart.

In the past, she had always liked Shen Chuhan very much, since he was still the prime minister of Liangguo, but later, he took the initiative to ask Yuguo Wuyang Diji to marry her, and she saw him looking at Song Qinghuan at the sword capture meeting Only then did he realize that he was not so cold and aloof to everyone, his smile and tenderness were only for that one person.

After meeting Empress Wuyang, she fully understood that it was impossible for her to compete with her in terms of appearance or talent, so, from then on, she completely gave up on Shen Chuhan.

In this regard, she did not lie to Song Qinghuan, and the last item in the agreement book was not her request.As for why Su Rao would do this, she still doesn't understand, maybe, she just wanted to get rid of Song Qinghuan.

And after that, she seemed to suddenly become indifferent to love affairs, coupled with the fact that the emperor's temper became more and more eccentric, and the entire Liang Kingdom was under the control of Su Rao, so she had no time to worry about her little love.

It's just that occasionally when the night is quiet, she sits on the couch and looks at the dark night outside the window. For some reason, she sometimes thinks of the warm embrace in the darkness of the Infinite Mausoleum, and the figure of the back that firmly protects herself behind her. , There will be a ripple that I didn't notice.

Today, when she reunited with Mu Bai on the street, she realized that she seemed to have a different feeling for Mu Bai in her heart.It's just that before the little flames started, they were poured down by a basin of cold water.

She felt chills all over her body, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, and the road ahead was uncertain, and she didn't know where her own way out was.

In a daze, the carriage drove back to the Huitong Hall.

She got out of the carriage, without looking at Dong Xue and the others, went straight into the room, closed the door, and locked herself in the room.

The four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter looked at each other, and Dong Xue said in a deep voice, "Look at Your Highness, it's almost noon, I'll go and order the kitchen to prepare lunch."

Saying that, he turned and left.

*
The news that Yin Qingrong had been to Chenxiang Pavilion soon reached Song Qinghuan's ears through Yinwei's mouth.

She waved her hand, sent the hidden guard down, and lowered her eyes thoughtfully.

Liu Yue was also listening just now, looked at Song Qinghuan curiously and asked, "Your Highness, what does Chang Di Ji mean?"

Song Qinghuan's eyes moved slightly, and she played with the bracelet on her wrist without making a sound, as if she was in deep thought. After a long time, she raised her eyes, "I don't think this is Yin Qingrong's idea."

Liu Yue and Shen Xing were startled when they heard the words, Shen Xing looked at her and said, "Your Highness is saying that this is most likely Su Rao's idea?"

Song Qinghuan said "um", thought for a while, and looked at Shen Xing, "Shen Xing, you go out of the palace yourself, and invite Ah Zheng to come into the palace to see me. When others asked, they said that I was making spices recently, and I didn't understand place, ask her to come into the palace to give pointers."

Shen Xing should be, and quickly exited the hall.

Song Qinghuan took a sip from the teacup on the side, and saw Liuyue's dark eyes looking at him from the corner of the eye, couldn't help laughing, put down the teacup, "If you have any questions, just ask."

Shen Xing smiled embarrassedly, "Your Highness, you just let Shen Xing invite Miss Murong into the palace openly, wouldn't Su Rao notice?"

Song Qinghuan hooked the corners of her lips, and glanced at Shen Xing, "Do you think, with Su Rao's ability, would she not know that the Huitong Hall is being watched by my people?"

Shen Xing was surprised, "Did His Highness let her know on purpose?"

Song Qinghuan said "Hum", his eyes were slightly cold, and they fell on the smooth white jade floor tiles.

Now that Yin Qingrong is under the watchful eye of the four servant girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is unlikely that she is still in the mood to wander the streets. The fact that she went to Chenxiang Pavilion is most likely Su Rao's instruction.No matter what Su Rao intends to do, this incident shows that she has already set her mind on Rong Zheng.

I asked Shen Xing to invite Rongzheng into the palace openly, just to tell her that I was aware of her tricks and told her not to act rashly.

As for Su Rao's real purpose, it should be clear when Rong Zheng asks after entering the palace.

Half an hour later, Rong Zheng followed Shen Xing into the palace.

Song Qinghuan stopped her from saluting, and directly pulled her to sit next to him, "There is no one else here, so there is no need for so many vain salutes."

Rong Zheng smiled and thanked her.

Song Qinghuan asked Liuyue to serve tea, pushed one of them in front of her, and said with a smile, "Azheng, Mubai went to look for you yesterday."

Rongzheng's earlobes turned red, and he shyly "hmm".

Song Qinghuan teased her a few words like a joke, got to the point, and looked at Rongzheng slightly seriously, "Azheng, do you know why I suddenly called you into the palace today?"

Rong Zheng's eyelashes drooped, "Is it because of the matter of Ning Le Changdi Ji yesterday?"

Song Qinghuan nodded, "Azheng, can you tell me what Ning Le Changdiji did in Chenxiang Pavilion yesterday?"

Rong Zheng also realized that this matter was a bit unusual, nodded, and told Song Qinghuan everything that happened yesterday. Of course, some things that were not related to Yin Qingrong were omitted, such as Mu Bai's treatment of her. Those love stories...

After Song Qinghuan listened, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

This matter is indeed a bit tricky.

"By the way, Mu Bai said that he met Ning Le Changdi Ji on the way to Chenxiang Pavilion yesterday. So after hearing her voice outside, he became suspicious, so he entered my room through the window. Avoided a head-on collision with her."

Song Qinghuan responded, with some suspicions in his heart.

Could it be that Yin Qing allowed them to go to Chenxiang Pavilion, but they were actually going there for Mu Bai?

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Have they been in the shop for a long time?"

"Ning Le Changdi Ji wanted to go back after buying the spices, but her maid seemed to be delaying the time."

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, "Is it a maid named Dongxue?"

Rong Zheng was slightly surprised, "How do you know?"

Song Qinghuan frowned, "This maid is not an ordinary character." She thought for a while, then looked at Rongzheng and said, "Azheng, the name of Queen Su Rao of Liang Kingdom, have you heard of it?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "Isn't it the Chen Kingdom Qinshui Empress who was in the limelight before?"

"Yes. She has been beaten by me before, and she has always hated me to the bone. I suspect that this time Liangguo took the initiative to seek peace, there must be something tricky." After a pause, he said, "The few people around Yin Qingrong The maidservant is Su Rao's, so I suspect that what happened yesterday was not that simple."

"Do you need me to do anything?"

"Azheng, these days, unless necessary, you'd better stay in the Rong Mansion first, and try to avoid going to the Chenxiang Pavilion as much as possible."

Seeing Song Qinghuan's serious expression, Rong Zheng didn't ask any further questions, and nodded in response, "Okay."

Although she didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, she could guess the general idea.Now that Empress Qinshui knew about her relationship with Song Qinghuan, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't attack her. She didn't know martial arts, and she couldn't help Song Qinghuan. The only thing she could do was to protect her own safety.

Song Qing smiled happily, "I'm sorry, I have troubled you. Later, I will ask Xuan Ying to arrange a few hidden guards near the Rong Mansion. I hope I think too much."

"Thank you, Huan'er." Rong Zheng thanked him sincerely.

Song Qinghuan said a few more words of relief, not wanting her to worry about this matter, so she talked about her marriage with Mu Bai, and also mentioned that Murong Zhuo might not be able to come back in a short time.

The incident of Murong Zhuo's poisoning was not spread to Lindu in order to appease the people, so Rong Zheng also knew nothing about Murong Zhuo's poisoning. After thinking about it, he said seriously, "Huan'er, I still want my brother to watch me get married."

"Okay." Knowing Rongzheng's thoughts, Song Qinghuan had the bottom line in her heart, "In my opinion, as long as the peace talks come to a conclusion, Murong Zhuo should be able to come back. But right now, you and Mu Bai can only stay together again." Waiting."

"It's okay, I've waited for so long, I don't care about waiting a few more days." Rong Zheng joked.

The matter with Liang Guo had nothing to do with Rong Zheng, so Song Qinghuan didn't want to involve her too deeply, so she changed the topic after a few words.

After a few days, things finally made new progress.

Emperor Liang Yin Zhan finally replied to the letter, agreeing to remove the last clause in the peace agreement, but to show sincerity, Ning Le Changdi Ji would still stay in Zhao State, and asked Shen Chuhan to find a suitable marriage for her.

Along with Yin Zhan's reply, there is another piece of news——

Queen Su Rao of Liang Kingdom is pregnant.
