Dressed as the Cannon Fodder Ex-Wife of the Regent

The next day.

Mother Zeng came early in the morning.

She went directly to the west garden.

Gu linchao didn't sleep much last night. He just got up now.

Wang Houde went in and waited on him to wash and change clothes.

Just after wearing it, there was a report from Si Yi outside the door.

"Master, mother Zeng is coming."

Gu linchao heard the speech, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped down.

What did mother Zeng do again?

"What's up?"

"My Lord, I've been ordered by the Empress Dowager to collect yuan handkerchiefs." mother Zeng said respectfully outside the door, paused, and asked, "is your mother up? I didn't disturb the princess's sleep."

Through the door, Gu linchao could hear mother Zeng laughing.

But——

"Yuanpa?" he asked Wang Houde.

Wang Houde quickly explained in a low voice.

Then he dared not look up.

The princess didn't stay in the west garden last night. Where did she get the yuanpa?

Gu linchao understood it, covered a layer of haze between his eyebrows and eyes, and said to Wang Houde, "go and spread it."

Wang Houde stared at him. After a long time, he reacted. He hurriedly took a piece of white cloth and spread it on the couch.

As soon as he turned around, his master handed him a sharp dagger.

Wang Houde was shocked. "Master, master, will you kill the slave?"

"Stretch out your hand!" Gu linchao ordered.

Wang Houde held out his hand tremblingly.

"Poof!"

The blade light flashed, and the next moment, there was a cut on his index finger, and the red blood rushed out.

"Drop it on the handkerchief." Gu linchao ordered again.

Wang Houde looked at the blood on his fingers. He was dizzy. His brain was a paste. He had to do it obediently.

Mother Zeng waited outside the door for a moment, but she didn't see Gu linchao coming out. Just about to come forward to inquire, she saw the door open in front of her.

Wang Houde came out with a pale face and stuffed a white pad into her hand.

"The yuan PA you want."

Mother Zeng had wondered how he looked so pale, but the next moment she was distracted by yuanpa.

She quickly opened it and looked at it. When she saw the plum red above, she was immediately satisfied. She said with a smile: "my mother worked hard last night. Remember to let the kitchen stew more Qi and blood nourishing soup for my mother. I have to go back to the Palace first."

Wang Houde thought: it's him who should replenish qi and nourish blood.

"I see, Granny Zeng, walk slowly." he said politely.

Mother Zeng left happily.

Before long, Gu linchao came out, dressed in purple imperial clothes, ready to go to the court. His face was still cold, as if nothing had happened just now.

Wang Houde stopped talking.

What he wants to say is, why should the prince bother so much? Just round the house with the princess.

But he only dared to think about it in his heart and dared not say it.

Besides, after taking the yuan PA, mother Zeng went directly back to the palace.

The Empress Dowager had got up. Seeing her coming back, she asked eagerly, "how's it going? Did you get it?"

"Got it, got it." mother Zeng nodded with a smile and hurriedly took out the yuanpa and showed it to her.

The Empress Dowager took it over and couldn't close her mouth with a smile. "OK, OK, I've finally got a worry about my family."

"If it goes on like this, it is estimated that you will soon have grandchildren again." mother Zeng smiled.

The Empress Dowager's face was full of a smile and looked forward to it. "In fact, her grandchildren and mourners like it. If it's a boy, it must be like Chaoer. If it's a girl, it must be like Tuo. They are all good children, and children are like them."
