After Ouyang Wu was taken into the Fanghua Palace by the Empress Dowager, Prince Ning's Mansion became much quieter.
Ye Chonghua stayed alone in their dormitory, feeling that he couldn't sleep well at night and the food was not delicious. His fifth son was not by his side, and he felt that life was difficult.
Even his temper became violent, and the servants were careful, for fear of stepping on a landmine.
After Ouyang Wu moved to Fanghua Hall, the empress dowager's nanny was steady and took good care of her.
Ouyang Wu recently found that she was getting more and more sleepy. After dinner, she felt very sleepy. After having a few words with the Queen Mother, she went back to her room to rest.
It was a very sweet sleep. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt a little thirsty. I suddenly opened my eyes and wanted to ask Zhulu to get some water. But suddenly there was a faint sound of breathing next to his ears, and the tip of his nose was filled with the faint fragrance of viburnum.
Ouyang Wu was still a little unconscious at the moment. She couldn't believe it and reached out to touch the side. Sure enough, she touched a warm body. Ouyang Wu half-opened her eyes, and the moonlight from outside filtered in, illuminating the face of the person next to her. His handsome outline, closed eyes, tall nose, and thin lips. He seemed to have fallen asleep, and his breathing was light. of.
As if feeling someone else's gaze, Ye Chonghua's eyes slowly opened. His voice was hoarse, low and sexy: "Why are you awake?"
"Thirsty." Ouyang Wu whispered, and then saw Ye Chonghua quickly get up from the bed, get up and pour her a glass of water, and feed her one bite at a time.
The warm water entered my mouth and I immediately felt much more comfortable. Ouyang Wu lay down again, and Ye Chonghua gently held her in his arms, gently smelling the fragrance of her hair.
Ouyang Wu thought to herself that they had only been separated for one day, so why did Ye Chonghua come looking for her? "Why are you here?"
Ye Chonghua's deep voice came from above his head: "I miss you."
There was an inexplicable sweetness and joy in her heart. I wonder if it was because of her pregnancy, but she seemed to be becoming more emotional. The breathing on his head gradually became calmer, and Ouyang Wu fell into a dream again.
Ye Chonghua slept very well that night, as if he was sleeping with his Wu'er in his arms, and a smile would appear on his lips even in his sleep.
The two of them slept very late the next day, and just as they were about to go out, they found the Queen Mother standing at the door, looking at Ye Chonghua with a sullen face.
Ouyang Wu bravely called out: "Grandma Huang."
The empress dowager stared at Ye Chonghua closely, with veins popping on her forehead. No matter how good the relationship was, now that Wu'er was pregnant, why was he still acting like this? She even chased him to the palace. After thinking about it, he said, "Fei Bai, are you so worried about leaving Wu'er here in the Ai family?"
Ye Chonghua looked at the empress dowager's angry face and could only say: "My grandson doesn't dare."
"If you don't dare, just go back early. Your Wu'er Aijia will take care of it for you." The Empress Dowager didn't give any face to her and issued an eviction order.
Before, Wu'er was placed next to him to see what he did, and Wu'er even got a bad stomachache.
Ye Chonghua was helpless, glanced at Ouyang Wu, turned around and left Fanghua Hall.
The Empress Dowager watched Ye Chonghua leave, and the tense look on her face softened a little. She took Ouyang Wu's hand and said, "Wu'er, now that you are pregnant for the first time, you must cherish yourself. Don't leave everything to him. Know that No?"
Ouyang Wu understood what the Empress Dowager meant, lowered her face, looked at her nose with her eyes, and her nose at her heart.
The base of his ears turned slightly red.
"What? Ouyang Wu, a bitch, has entered the palace now?" The queen struggled to sit up, her chest rising and falling violently.
She hated Ouyang Wu so much. She had raised her baby in Prince Ning's Mansion before. Not to mention that she couldn't reach Prince Ning's Mansion now, even if she could, Prince Ning's Mansion was guarded like an iron barrel. There is no other way but to hate in my heart.
Unexpectedly, now she is sent to the door by herself. The queen's face is very cruel. Now that she is in the palace, are you afraid that she will not find a chance to punish her?
It's just that...you need help.
A person flashed in the queen's mind - Ye Feiqing.
"Go and summon the fifth prince!" A hint of anger flashed across the queen's delicate face, and she said to Ziyuan who was standing aside.
"Yes." Ziyuan replied respectfully and then retreated.
Ye Feiqing came over quickly and called to the queen on the hospital bed through the curtain: "Queen, I wonder what you want to see Feiqing for?"
There was a faint sound of coughing from inside the curtain, and the Queen's slightly weak voice came: "Fei Qing, my mother has something important to discuss with you. Please sit down first, Ziyuan, and serve tea."
After Ye Feiqing thanked him, he walked directly to the chair aside. Ziyuan stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea.
Ye Feiqing gently picked up the teacup with one hand, picked up the lid with the other and lifted off the foam, and drank the tea gracefully without any trace of curiosity on her face.
Ouyang Wu entered the palace, and the queen was looking for him now. He knew everything.
The queen saw Ye Feiqing's indifferent expression through the curtain, and felt a little unsure. She paused for a while and said, "Feiqing, did you know that Ouyang Wu has entered the palace?"
Ye Feiqing looked surprised and said, "Oh? When did you enter the palace?"
"The Empress Dowager announced her entry into the palace yesterday, and now she is staying in the Fanghua Palace!" There was a trace of resentment in the Queen's words.
A smile flashed across Ye Feiqing's face and he said, "The Empress Dowager is extremely concerned about her."
"No!" The queen's face was full of anger. If the empress dowager hadn't been so interested in her, she wouldn't have to be so restrained.
Ye Feiqing's face was pure and calm, as if she didn't care about anything. The queen looked at Ye Feiqing's face through the curtain and said, "Feiqing, you also know that Feixi is only imprisoned now. For a while, the emperor will one day know that he has been wronged, and one day, when the emperor understands, he will be able to come out. "
Ye Feiqing looked regretful and echoed: "Feiqing also knows that fourth brother was wrongly accused, but there is no way to rescue him."
The queen looked at Ye Feiqing's face and couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she could only continue: "Fei Bai is the biggest obstacle on this road. Fei Xi can't do anything now. If Fei Qing can help at this time, With his help, when Feixi comes out, the endless glory and wealth will be at your fingertips."
After the queen said these words, she stared at Ye Feiqing, trying to see a hint of heartbeat on his face.
Ye Feiqing felt the queen's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "The queen thinks highly of Feiqing too much. Feiqing thinks she can't compare to the second brother's ability."
Naturally, there is nothing we can do to help you eliminate Ye Chonghua.
The queen also knew something from Feixi before that Feiqing was his person, otherwise Feiqing would not have offered any advice to save Feixi before. But now she heard his words but did not go around with him: "If you want to deal with Ye Chonghua, then It starts with dealing with Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu is a very evil woman, and now the Empress Dowager values her, so it is difficult to deal with her. Fei Qing, do you have any idea? "
Ye Feiqing didn't say whether there was any way, he just smiled lightly and said gently and elegantly: "Why is the Queen so worried about the enemy? The most fearful thing for a pregnant woman is that if she is not careful, the child will be lost." "
The queen looked at the faint smile on his face, and immediately understood the meaning of his words, and suddenly laughed: "Feiqing is right."
Ye Feiqing picked up the teacup and sipped the tea carefully, as if what he just said was not his.
After Ye Chonghua was driven away by the Empress Dowager, Ouyang Wu accompanied the Empress Dowager after breakfast, and then decided to go for a walk in the backyard. There were many exquisite flowers and plants planted in the Empress Dowager's backyard. Ouyang Wu looked in a good mood. I walked around for a while.
There is a fresh smell in the air. This is in the courtyard of the Empress Dowager. The guards are very tight, and Ouyang Wu is a little less alert.
Zhulu walked slowly with Ouyang Wu, and from time to time wiped the sweat from Ouyang Wu's forehead with a handkerchief: "Princess, are you tired? Why don't we go back?"
Ouyang Wu shook his head. Ever since she was pregnant, Ye Chonghua had protected her so well that she rarely moved around like this. In ancient times, if giving birth to a child was a bad thing, it would be fatal. Now, moving more will help to have a smooth birth in the future!
The two of them were walking around like this when they suddenly heard a cat meowing. Before they could recover, they saw a black cat suddenly emerge from the grass and lunge towards Ouyang Wu with its sharp claws.
Ouyang Wu was unprepared for a moment and subconsciously stepped back. Zhu Lu beside him also screamed and pulled Ouyang Wu back again and again.
Neither of them noticed that a figure flashed behind them.
Zhulu pulled Ouyang Wu back, but suddenly the sole of her foot slipped. Not wanting to injure Ouyang Wu, she subconsciously let go of her hand, and she fell back uncontrollably.
Ouyang Wu was startled by the sound of Zhu Lu falling to the ground. She could barely stand upright. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and discovered that someone had sprayed oil behind her.
Ouyang Wu turned her head and found that the black cat was rushing towards her. She subconsciously moved her steps, but stepped on a few round beads. Her body became unstable and she was about to fall down——
I grabbed my hand around, but couldn't grab anything.
Zhulu fell so hard that she couldn't stand up at all. She was so frightened that she screamed: "Princess!"
Ouyang Wu couldn't help but turn pale and was about to fall to the ground.
A figure rushed over as fast as lightning, held Ouyang Wu tightly in his arms, spun around in a circle, and then stopped.
Ye Chonghua carefully confined Ouyang Wu in his arms, with a strong look on his face, and kicked the black cat away. A miserable meow sounded, and the black cat was far away. He kicked to the ground, his limbs twitched, and after a while, he stopped moving.
Ye Chonghua's heart was in turmoil at this moment. If he hadn't come back because he was worried, if he had taken action a step too late, if Wu'er had fallen to the ground, if...
He didn't dare to think about it at all, he just felt cold sweat on his back.
At that moment, he was almost scared out of his mind.
When grandma, who was attracted by the miserable cat meow, saw this scene, her heart jumped into her throat! Seeing Ye Chonghua protecting Ouyang Wu, her heart dropped.
She immediately reported this situation to the Empress Dowager. The more the Empress Dowager heard, the uglier her expression became. She was also frightened. How could a black cat appear in her Fanghua Palace? Wu'er almost had an accident in her courtyard?
She hurried out and saw Ye Chonghua holding Ouyang Wu with a bad look on his face. He looked at the Empress Dowager and said in a cold voice: "Grandma Huang, it's inconvenient for Wu'er to stay here."
Ye Chonghua didn't wait for the Queen Mother's reaction, hugged Ouyang Wu and walked out.
The Queen Mother's expression changed, but there was nothing she could do. She brought Ouyang Wu to the palace and took care of her nearby. Not long after, something like this happened.
At this moment she couldn't even say the words "leave her here".
Ouyang Wu was really scared just now, but now she was fine and gradually calmed down.
Seeing Ye Zhonghua carrying her out like this, he said that he wanted to go down, but at this moment, Ye Zhonghua's deep black eyes were as cold as a cold pool, the bridge of his nose was straight up, and his thin pale pink lips were tightly pressed into a line. .
His face was frighteningly dark, and his strong arms held her tightly in his arms without saying a word.
"I'm really fine, really." Ouyang Wu saw that his face was stiff and knew that he was very frightened. She reached out her hand and patted his face, and said to comfort him, "It's fine."
"Don't go anywhere from now on. I will send someone to keep a close eye on you." Ye Chonghua remained unmoved and only quickened his pace.
The Empress Dowager stood in the courtyard, with a cruel look in her eyes that she had not seen for a long time. Today's matter needed to be thoroughly investigated. She wanted to see who was so ambitious that he dared to hurt Wu'er under her nose?
The Empress Dowager's people did not investigate, but immediately found out the clues. In the morning, a maid in the Empress's Palace caught a cat and brought it back. It must have been the cat that died in the backyard of her Fanghua Palace!
No matter how powerful the Empress Dowager was, this matter could not be traced to the fifth prince Ye Feiqing. The fifth prince acted cleanly and cunningly, leaving no trace at all.
The Queen had always targeted Ouyang Wu, and the Queen Mother immediately confirmed her thoughts.
The Queen Mother's face was full of anger, and she said to the nanny beside her: "Call the Queen over!"
"The Queen...seems to be ill." The nanny hesitated, wondering if it would be bad to call the Queen at this time.
"Then bring her here!" The Queen Mother was furious at this time, and she couldn't swallow this breath if she didn't deal with the Queen today.
The Queen Mother summoned, so the Queen had to come, and the Queen Mother's people would naturally not really bring the Queen over, and they were still respectful to her.
After a while, the Queen came over with the help of Ziyuan. As soon as she stepped into the Fanghua Palace, she heard the Queen Mother roar before she saluted.
"Kneel down!" The Queen Mother was intimidating without anger, and her chest rose and fell, showing that she was extremely angry.
The Queen seemed to have been prepared, kneeling on the ground, looking up at the Queen Mother.
"I wonder what I did wrong?" The queen's face was pale. Even with makeup on, it was still obvious that she looked haggard.
"Hmph, you don't know what you did. I never thought that you were so cruel. The baby in Wu'er's belly almost died!"
Almost? That means it didn't work yet?
A hint of disappointment flashed across the queen's eyes, and then she hid it.
"My mother misunderstood me. I have been recuperating in Zhongcui Palace and often fell asleep. I almost didn't know what happened outside." The queen replied calmly.
The Queen Mother said coldly: "You don't know what happened? Do you want me to put the evidence in front of you before you admit it? I have saved your face by not producing evidence. If you still insist on not changing your mind, I will abolish your position as Queen!"
The Queen panicked when she saw that her position as Queen was in danger. She looked up at the Queen Mother and said earnestly: "Mother, I really don't know."
The Queen Mother was also very angry when she saw the Queen's quibbling: "Ask the maids in your palace where the cat is."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen said: "Cats and dogs don't understand each other. It is possible that human nature occasionally runs far away. I have been bedridden for a long time, so I don't have the energy to take care of cats and dogs. I guess some palace maid got lonely and raised a cat. Mother, I wonder what the relationship is between this cat and Wu'er?"
"You dare to quibble!" The Queen Mother sneered and said, "You vicious woman! From today until the day Wu'er's child is born, you will stay in Zhongcui Palace and don't come out, and you are not allowed to see anyone."
The Queen looked up in disbelief and fell to the ground. She was terrified. The Queen Mother confined her for Ouyang Wu?
She was the queen of a country, but she was not as good as a wild girl from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
For a moment, the Queen was shocked and angry. Her already uncomfortable body felt even more unable to support it. She fell back and fainted on the ground.
The Queen Mother just looked at it coldly and said, "Send the Queen back." Ziyuan was also trembling on the side. The Queen Mother was so angry that she confined the Queen! She didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly bowed, and then helped the unconscious Queen back. After the Queen Mother taught the Queen a lesson, she was still afraid. She specially invited Ouyang Wu into the palace to take better care of her, but such a thing happened. If Ye Chonghua hadn't arrived in time before, Wu'er's child would probably be... in danger! She didn't know how Wu'er was now. She didn't see Wu'er clearly just now. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. The Queen Mother ordered to prepare a carriage, and she personally left the palace and went to the Ning Wang Mansion. Now, she could only feel relieved if she saw Ouyang Wu in person. Ouyang Wu was carried back to the Ning Wang Mansion by Ye Chonghua. Not long after, she heard outside that the Queen Mother had arrived, so she hurriedly got up. The Queen Mother came in. Ouyang Wu wanted to stand up, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother saw that Ouyang Wu was just frightened and was fine, so she heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Chonghua was sitting next to Ouyang Wu at the moment, and he neither saluted nor greeted the Queen Mother, as if he just treated her as an invisible person.
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Chonghua and said, "Feibai, this time it's me... Now you have to take good care of Wu'er!"
Ye Chonghua was still angry and ignored the Queen Mother's words. Seeing this, Ouyang Wu felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she couldn't help laughing: "Chonghua, this matter has nothing to do with the Royal Grandmother, don't be angry with the Royal Grandmother."
The Queen Mother felt a little guilty about what happened today, but she was reasonable at the moment, holding Ouyang Wu's hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, seeing Feibai is so worried about you, I feel relieved."
Ye Chonghua remained silent, with a tense face.
Ouyang Wu smiled at the corner of her lips and smiled helplessly at the Queen Mother.
