1113: Ah Wan Enters the Palace, Ferocious Brother Jiu! (5)

Ah Wan Enters the Palace, Ferocious Brother Jiu! (5)

The nanny at the side said, "The Ninth Princess has just recovered from her illness. I'm afraid she's still tired. I'll bring her back to her room to rest."1

"Alright," the Empress said lovingly.

"Is the Ninth Princess sick?" Han Jingshu asked.

The Empress smiled and said, "She caught a cold a few days ago and drank a few sets of medicine. She's fine now. On the other hand, I heard that you were poisoned. How is it? Are you feeling better?"

Han Jingshu bowed. "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mother."

At the mention of this, the Empress's smile faded. "Who dares to break into the Crown Prince Manor at night and harm the Crown Prince Manor? They really don't know what's going on! Have you caught the thief?"

"The Crown Prince is still investigating," Han Jingshu said.

At this moment, the nanny had already stood up while holding the Ninth Princess's hand. The Ninth Princess bowed to the Empress and then bowed to Yu Wan and Han Jingshu under the nanny's lead. Then, she went to the side hall.

The Empress nodded. "The Crown Prince knows his limits. He won't let the culprit get away with it."

These words were intriguing. She could praise others for their intelligence and diligence, but what did she mean by 'knowing his limits'? What kind of limits were needed to catch the culprit? Wasn't it only right and proper to punish evil?

Yu Wan thought this in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She only silently drank the rose tea that was specially brewed for her.

Little Bruiser and the three little eggs went out to play after greeting the Empress.

The Empress asked Yu Wan if she wanted to send a few more people to watch over them. Yu Wan said that there was no need. It was useless even if she sent them. Who could keep an eye on those little devils?

However, she had also warned them in advance not to cause trouble for her. The three little fellows nodded obediently.

The Empress still did not know about Han Jingshu's pregnancy. This was Han Jingshu's idea. It would not be too late to announce it to the world when the fetus was stable in three months. Therefore, the Empress was only concerned about Yu Wan's pregnancy and asked her how she ate, how she slept, and if she had any good health.

Yu Wan answered them one by one. When she answered, Han Jingshu listened very seriously. After all, she was also pregnant. It was not wrong to get more experience.

As the three of them were talking, the nanny who sent the Ninth Princess back to the bedchamber came and reported something softly to the Empress. The Empress nodded. "I understand."

The nanny left.

The Empress smiled and said to Yu Wan and Han Jingshu, "The Ninth Princess refuses to take medicine. I'll go coax her. You guys sit for a while."

The two of them agreed in unison. After the Empress left, Han Jingshu sat beside Yu Wan and poured her a cup of flower tea. She whispered, "I'm afraid the Empress has something to discuss with you in the court since she looked for you. Be more vigilant later and don't get involved."

Huh? What was Han Jingshu… doing? She and the Empress were from the same camp, but Han Jingshu advised her to guard against the Empress. Was there such a way to sow discord? Was this an insult to her intelligence?

"I'm not harming you," Han Jingshu said. Although the Empress was no longer around, there were still many servants and palace servants in the hall. Han Jingshu's voice was very low, just enough for her and Yu Wan to hear.

Yu Wan touched her chin. "If you're not harming me, are you helping me?"

Han Jingshu said, "You can say whatever you want. Anyway, don't be in a hurry to agree to whatever the Empress says later."

Yu Wan narrowed her eyes and looked at her. "Miss Han, you're thinking for me like this. It'll make me suspect that you have other motives. Tell me the truth, do you… like me?"

Han Jingshu happened to pour herself a cup of flower tea. Just as she took a sip, she was agitated by Yu Wan and spat it out.

"You…" Han Jingshu blushed at Yu Wan's words.

Yu Wan widened her eyes. "Look at you, you're blushing. You really like me!"

Han Jingshu gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered. What kind of disgraceful words were these? Does this sound like something a Regent Consort should say?

"I didn't!" Han Jingshu shouted.

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows. "Then you're repaying me?"

"Yes." Han Jingshu subconsciously admitted. After admitting it, she realized that she had been tricked by Yu Wan.

She was stunned and looked at Yu Wan in disbelief. She did not seem to understand how the other party sensed it, but she also did not seem to understand how the other party thought of such a shameless way to get information.

At this moment, Yu Wan suddenly shouted, "Aiya! I heard my son cry! Did something happen to him in your Fengshai Palace?"

The palace servants were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically. Princess Consort, speak properly. What do you mean by 'something had happened to him in our Fengshai Palace'? If word gets out, we won't be able to answer to His Majesty and the Regent.
