Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 745 - 663: Another Update_2
Qi Jin and Qi Yu, seeing so many people inside the room, truly didn’t need Eunuch Du. They waved their hand, signaling Eunuch Du to leave quickly. Eunuch Du nodded hastily and after carefully instructing a few little eunuchs standing beside Qi Jin and Qi Yu, he finally left at ease.
Despite this, Qi Jin and Qi Yu were still uneasy. Qi Jin stepped into the room, frowning at the crowd, especially disliking the group that had just appeared, who were now blatantly standing inside, looking at The Emperor and the Empress...
Without any sense of avoidance whatsoever.
"Emperor Brother, I am tired today. Let’s go to the study another day," the young lady’s voice was coquettish, slightly lazy, like flowers blooming on the branches, swayed by a gentle breeze, filling the room with fragrance and warmth.
"I’ll carry you..." Zheng Congyuan’s voice carried the fragrance of flowers. Qi Jin was so creeped out that he didn’t dare to look up.
Lowering his head, he saw two unfamiliar guards who were staring intently, shamelessly, at where they were standing.
The guards still didn’t move, showing no expression on their faces whatsoever. Qi Jin suddenly felt that he was being narrow-minded; such was the professionalism of those trained by Prince Duan.
Yuan Geng noticed Qi Jin staring at Nanyi’s two men and felt something was amiss. Just as he was about to do something, Hui Shan suddenly tugged on his sleeve.
Yuan Geng looked over, and Hui Shan gave him a look.
Gong Lin had arrived.
Although Yuan Geng was somewhat surprised, the arrival of Gong Lin at this moment must have meant something significant, so without hesitation, Yuan Geng turned and left.
Qi Jin didn’t mind, people raised by Prince Duan were truly different, motionless, even those around them couldn’t stand it anymore.
...
As Yuan Geng left Chenhe Palace, he saw Gong Lin standing at the entrance. By all accounts, it was not his shift today; he was not supposed to be there at this time.
"What’s the matter?" Yuan Geng asked swiftly.
"Brother, our plan succeeded, the person behind the scenes has appeared," Gong Lin did not mention the name of the Young Master of Ghoul Ravine because he wasn’t sure either, and the things they sensed were very eerie. Gong Lin was in a rush to find Yuan Geng because he wasn’t able to manage it.
"Let’s go—" Yuan Geng pondered for a moment, then immediately made up his mind. It wasn’t appropriate for them to be the front-runners in dealing with this matter. But their master really has too many troubles; they could only resolve them one by one.
...
"Nian Ru, what’s wrong?" Zheng Congyuan saw Nian Ru looking indolently, no longer intending to take her to the study, but he wasn’t ready to leave either. He couldn’t bear to leave, having neglected her too much these days. Moreover, the situation with Prince Duan also made her feel down.
"Nothing, just too lazy to move. Is it because of spring fatigue?" Zheng Nianru looked up at Zheng Congyuan, yet her body did not move, her long and dense eyelashes casting shadows on her cheeks.
Zheng Congyuan’s heart stirred, reaching his hand towards that soft, flawless cheek.
"Fine, then I’ll stay here with you." Zheng Congyuan smiled slightly, deciding not to think about anything else; she was worth setting aside all else for.
Zheng Congyuan even sat on the bed, which was originally spacious, much wider than the usual beds, but with Zheng Congyuan fully on it, it became much more crowded.
Fu Dong almost wanted to go up and pull him away; could the Empress afford to be squeezed now? Nanny Yun was also anxious, almost wishing that there was a fire somewhere else, so The Emperor would be forced to leave.
Zheng Congyuan turned and embraced Zheng Nianru by his side.
"I’ll be with you for a while," Zheng Congyuan’s hand rested on Zheng Nianru’s waist, following the contour of the young lady, trying to soothe her dampened spirits.
Qi Jin thought that Fu Dong should have drawn the curtain. Their Emperor had said he wanted to sleep for a while; at their Crown Prince’s Mansion, she used to draw it diligently, but now she wasn’t, which was utterly hypocritical.
Zheng Congyuan suddenly paused, his hand on the young lady’s waist stopped moving. His first thought was that Nian Ru had gained some weight, but then he smiled again. Nian Ru always liked those delicate foods; these days, he had noticed it too. The downtrodden Nian Ru had not been restraining herself, indeed eating more, and quite a bit had been sent to his Chenyuan Hall.
Zheng Nianru, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened them, her eyes clear, feeling Zheng Congyuan’s hand on her waist.
No change was impossible, and besides, it had been over three months. A careful look would reveal something. Originally, she had not planned to hide it, as some things couldn’t be concealed anyway. She just didn’t know how to start, and coincidentally, Nanyi was not around, not even someone to attest to it.
