Chapter 162 The Dark Shadow of Pixianglou
Chapter 162 The Dark Shadow of Pixianglou
There seem to be a lot of happy events recently. I just found out a few days ago that Princess Yucheng is pregnant.
On the tenth day of May, good news came from the Rongfu County Lady's Mansion, saying that Li Yi was also pregnant.
It's just that her menstruation has always been irregular, and she doesn't look pregnant. If Qi Min hadn't noticed that she suddenly gained weight, he would have insisted on asking the imperial physician to see her.
I only found out that she was already more than three months pregnant, which was earlier than Princess Yucheng.
"This place is different from modern times. Don't eat too much." Su Qinchao stood under the ginkgo tree.
He looked at Yunniang who was playing with her child not far away, and talked to Li Yi who was sitting aside and eating melon seeds.
"If the fetus is too big, it will be troublesome, but we don't have Caesarean sections here.
“Try to walk more when you have nothing to do, don’t sit or lie down all day…” Su Qinchao gave detailed instructions. This person had been lazy in both of his lives, and he was really worried.
"I know. It's not like I haven't given birth in my previous life." Li Yi brushed off the melon seed shells that fell on his body nonchalantly.
"Forget it, I'd rather tell Qi Min than you. Where's Qi Min?" He hadn't seen Qi Min since he entered the mansion. Could it be that he went out to do something again?
Whenever he is around, he sticks to Li Yi.
"He left early in the morning. He said that the teacher asked him to prepare for the autumn exam and he would be back in the evening."
"By the way, let me tell you something." Su Qinchao looked around and then lowered his voice to an inaudible level: "It seems that there is a time-traveling girl in the village next to me who is attending pre-school classes."
Then he told Li Yi the information he had heard from Yunniang.
"Have you found out clearly?" Li Yi raised his head with eyes wide open, looking at Su Qinchao with suspicion in his eyes, his hand still moving the melon seeds into his mouth.
"Not yet, but as long as I go and check, the princess will know. Do you really want to go?" He knew that Princess Yucheng had placed people around them.
But he couldn't find out who it was after observing for a long time, so he was hesitating whether to do so.
Maybe as long as he pretends he doesn't know, nothing will go wrong.
Besides, apart from leading the children in singing a few nursery rhymes, Mrs. Pang had not revealed anything else, so he thought he could wait and see.
"Let's just ignore it for now." Li Yi thought for a moment and put the melon seeds into his mouth again.
She still remembers clearly how strong Princess Yucheng's pressure was. She believes that it is better to mind her own business and it is none of her business what other people do.
"Okay." Su Qin raised his hand, plucked off a ginkgo leaf and looked at it.
After that, the two of them chatted for a while, roughly telling each other what had happened in the past few days, until lunch was served, when they hurriedly stopped talking.
Because of their identities, the two of them rarely had the opportunity to chat for so long, and he almost forgot the feeling of becoming more and more excited as the conversation went on without any disguise.
...
"Husband, are you still worried about the county princess's pregnancy?" On the way home, Yunniang leaned against the inside of the carriage, holding the sleeping little Tangyuan.
Looking at Su Qinchao who was also holding a small candy bag but remained silent.
The agate hairpin on her half-moon bun slid across her face from time to time as the carriage swayed.
Although her husband seemed to be warm and gentle to everyone and had a certain philanthropic attitude, he really cared about very few people.
Apart from the people around him, the only one who could move his heart was the county lady.
"I'm a little scared that you're pregnant. I don't know where Bian Que has gone. I have to find him back to take care of him for me." Su Qinchao said with a rare hint of fragility in his eyes.
In his heart, Li Yi is his best friend in both lives and is as important as Yunniang. He cannot bear it if anything happens to either of them.
Bian Que is an expert in medicine. If he were there, there would be at least a 70% chance of success. He must find a way to get him back.
"The county princess is only more than three months old. There is still a long time to look for her. Who knows, Bian Que may come out by himself by then." Yunniang held his hand and comforted him gently.
"If it really doesn't work, go to Wanshitong to buy information. There is always a way." Although Yunniang lived in the inner house, her mother-in-law and father-in-law were both people from the underworld.
I still have connections with the underworld, so I talk about it occasionally. This is what my mother-in-law mentioned when the child was missing last year.
At that time, many people went to the know-it-all to buy information and find children.
I heard that this know-it-all knows everything and as long as you can afford it, you can buy information that is 100% guaranteed to be authentic.
"Know-it-all?" Su Qinchao repeated these three words twice.
In fact, he had heard Shen Yong talk about this organization a long time ago, and he suspected that the people behind it were official.
After all, if they can sell information so openly, how can they continue without government support?
The fee is so expensive, starting at 30 taels and with no upper limit. Maybe he can give it a try. Anyway, he has the 2000 taels of silver that Wu Sanlang gave him two days ago, so he is not short of money for the time being.
However, before Su Qinchao could find space to go to Wanshitong to buy information, a major event happened in Chang'an, making everyone nervous.
It also made Su Qinchao, who had been following the routine, extremely busy.
"Do you think these people are courting death? Seeing that the autumn examination is just around the corner, they still cause such trouble." Shen Yong scratched his hair irritably. He hadn't slept for two days and was very sleepy.
In recent days, there have been several cases in the north of the city where students were seriously injured while fighting over prostitutes in brothels.
Moreover, those students were all the most talented people in their respective states, but after waking up they all said they had no memory of anything, which was very strange.
Therefore, the higher-ups attached great importance to this matter and sent them to stake out the truth in various brothels.
This Pixianglou was where he and Su Qinchao were assigned. He was extremely annoyed by it. The strong smell of cosmetics and the unpleasant sounds of love were really annoying.
"How about you take a nap first? I'll watch you." This was originally the arrangement, but Shen Yong thought this place was dirty and insisted on staying.
"How can I sleep in this place?" Shen Yong shook his head in disgust, even though his eyelids were almost glued together.
"Tsk, go to sleep!" Su Qin couldn't bear to watch him like that, so he raised his hand and hit him on the back of the neck.
It was at this moment that he suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flashing on the opposite building, which made him throw Shen Yong into the corner and chase after it.
The man moved quite quickly. Su Qinchao hid under an eaves and watched him slip into the Pixiang Tower and transform into a black shadow of a charming woman.
I saw the woman moving freely among the crowd, greeting the male guests from time to time, as if she was very familiar with them.
After a while, she walked around to a young and handsome student and sat down seductively.
She poured wine with a sweet smile, and flirted with the guests around her. She seemed to be very familiar with the business.
If I hadn't seen her secretly shaking the powder from her little finger into the wine while pouring it, I would have thought she was no different from the other women in the building.
