Chapter 216 Rong Pei. Are you pregnant?
Wang Chan invited Rong Pei over as Yan Wan instructed.
Rong Peimai stepped inside. Yongqi felt someone coming and timidly poked his head out from Hailan's arms.
The little boy knew nothing and didn't hear a word Yan Wan and the others said. He just saw Rong Pei with her arms outstretched trying to get closer to him.
"No, no, don't let Auntie. Father Huang, Father Huang..."
Yongqi buried his head back in Hailan's arms, and in desperation he cried out for his Emperor Father.
Rong Pei's hands froze.
Could it be that Yongji had seen everything that happened before? That's why Yongji shouted like that.
Rong Pei looked at Yongji with a complicated expression. Yongji was still shaking and sobbing. Rong Pei felt sorry for Yongji and was glad that he didn't understand human affairs.
Before she knew it, sweat was oozing out of Rong Pei's forehead and her palms were feeling sticky.
"Since the twelfth prince does not need me, I will go and serve the queen."
Rong Pei was surprised that she stuttered.
How could she stutter?
Hailan didn't care much about Rong Pei's behavior, Yanwan carefully explored it. Rong Pei's awkwardness tonight was indeed unlike her usual style.
Yongqi kept calling Rongpei, but refused to go when she came. But if you pay close attention, you will find that Yongqi was secretly sticking his little head out to try to spy on Rongpei.
One look and one retraction, one look and one retraction. Obviously there is a problem.
When Yanwan returned, she called Wang Chan to ask about the details of her meeting with Yongqi.
"Did you see the Emperor return to his tent that night?"
Wang Chan was stunned, shaking his head like a rattle.
"Aunt Rongpei asked me to look after the emperor's tent and told me where eunuchs Jinzhong and Jinbao were.
She didn't ask the servant to look at the emperor.
The servant only looked at the emperor's tent, and Aunt Rong Pei entered the emperor's tent. But the tent had more than one exit.
Aunt Rong Pei probably went out from the side exit."
What Wang Chan said made him lower his head and become unconfident, as if he had messed up something.
Yanwan lowered her head in silence. Wang Chan was really naive.
"Rong Pei is also a smart guy. I thought he was really going to report him after they had a fight.
That’s why I asked you to stop Ling Yunche for her. I wanted to provoke Ling Yunche and didn’t want her to run away.”
“It also gives the people behind the scenes an opportunity.”
Yan Wan already had a rough idea of what happened at night, except that using Wang Chan might have been a wrong decision.
Wang Chan leaned his head over and asked Yan Wan.
"Ran?"
"Master, who ran away?"
"Who is behind this? Isn't it us?"
Yan Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right. It is a bit noisy outside. Go and count how many mosquitoes are waiting to bite me."
Counting mosquitoes, although Wang Chan was puzzled by Yan Wan's strange task of asking him to do this, he went there obediently.
Wang Chan went out innocently, and Chunchan followed him and said with a smile:
"Wang Chan is afraid that he will never understand the ins and outs of this matter in his lifetime.
Now that the master understands, what should we do now? "
Yan Wan was a little worried before because she didn't know the reason, but now she feels relieved.
"Wait.
I think the people behind the scenes are waiting just like us.”
Yanwan calmed herself down and focused on taking care of her pregnancy.
Surprisingly, Yan Wan discovered that Ling Yunche and Rong Pei, who had been quarreling some time ago, had been quiet for quite a while.
When the Mulan Autumn Hunt was over and they returned to the palace, Ling Yunche started to move.
The strange thing is that when Ling Yunche went to Yongshou Palace, he either met Chunchan Lancui and the others occasionally, or made an appointment with Zhao Jiuxiao to drink.
That day, he and Yan Wan asked for sour dried apricots again. They were talking about Li Xin in the Old Summer Palace.
"Sour dried apricots? Or are they for Li Xin?"
"I didn't know you and Li Xin had such a good relationship before."
When Ling Yunche mentioned Li Xin, Yan Wan couldn't help but think of the last time Ling Yunche asked her for something for Li Xin.
She later asked someone to take a look and found that they had only given her something.
Except for Rong Pei's noise, no one else reacted.
This was because Rong Pei had a quarrel with him because of Li Xin.
This couple is quite interesting. Could it be that Ling Yunche really likes Rong Pei?
"I used to work in Qixiang Palace and had a good relationship with Miss Li Xin. Now that she is down and out, I will definitely help her."
Ling Yunche felt regretful as he spoke. He didn't know whether he did all this to capture Zhao Jiuxiao or to test Rong Pei's feelings.
Ling Yunche was very bad at lying. His eyes kept looking at Yan Wan tentatively, wishing that Yan Wan would immediately tell Rong Pei that he cared about Li Xin.
When Yan Wan arrived, she still gave him dried apricots.
Yan Wan still felt a little uneasy, thinking that Ling Yunche was being too deliberate in approaching her.
"My Lord, the Emperor always likes to visit the Empress these days. There aren't many things to do in the Yangxin Palace, so Zhao Jiuxiao has some free time.
I will go back and tell Zhao Jiuxiao that he will go to Yongshou Palace anyway, so let him keep an eye on it."
Yan Wan had no doubt about Zhao Jiuxiao's loyalty, so she asked Lan Cui to pass the message on. Sure enough, Zhao Jiuxiao took better care of Yongshou Palace afterwards.
As Zhao Jiuxiao paid more attention, he realized that things were not as simple as Yan Wan had thought.
"Ling Yunche always goes to Yongshou Palace. During the time he has been back, he has sent several things to Li Xin. This made Rong Pei very unhappy.
Now Rong Pei even started to peek into Yongshou Palace.
I think your Majesty has been tricked."
As soon as Zhao Jiuxiao realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly told Yan Wan.
Yanwan was so shocked that she sat up from the stool.
"Not good, I'm afraid I'm also part of that person's plan."
Yanwan paced back and forth. She was already very careful, but she was still spotted by that man.
Yan Wan unconsciously touched her belly. The baby in her belly was almost two months old, but her belly was bigger than that of a normal three-month pregnant woman.
"If someone wants to plot against us, we have to plot before them. If Rong Pei continues to act sneakily, you can just arrest her. That person's plot will be cut off. Without Rong Pei, Ling Yunche will be the only one left to see how that person plots against me."
Yan Wan has come to this point, she absolutely cannot let that man harm her.
Thinking about it, Yanwan gave instructions to Chunchan and Lancui again.
"These days, there are some bad people in Yongshou Palace, and it seems that someone has dirty hands. If Zhao Jiuxiao catches Rong Pei, he will insist that she stole my things."
"Then I'll threaten her with the baby in her belly. I don't believe she won't compromise."
Zhao Jiuxiao naturally followed Yan Wan's arrangements and paid close attention to Ling Yunche and Rong Pei.
Another day. Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao separated from Yongshou Palace, and Rong Pei sneaked to the front of Yongshou Palace.
"I clearly saw that the person was here, how could he disappear for no reason?"
Rong Pei followed Ling Yunche step by step, but still lost him.
Ling Yunche was sent away by Zhao Jiuxiao when Rong Pei turned the corner, as Zhao Jiuxiao reminded him.
Zhao Jiuxiao looked back and could still see the shadow of a head falling on the corner.
Zhao Jiuxiao turned around and approached step by step.
Zhao Jiuxiao had just taken a few steps when the shadow suddenly disappeared. Zhao Jiuxiao was afraid of missing the opportunity to catch Rong Pei, so he strode to the corner.
Before Zhao Jiuxiao showed up, he heard the emperor's voice.
"Rong Pei. Are you pregnant?"
