Chapter 337 Feeling uneasy
Mr. Shen saw that Mrs. Shen’s eyes were wide open, her mouth was slightly open, and her gaze kept moving between the two of them.
"Madam, what are you doing?"
He turned his head to glance at Shen Jingxuan, and when he saw nothing unusual, he looked at Old Madam Shen again.
Shen Jingxuan touched her face and asked in confusion: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
There was nothing on her face, and I don't know why my grandmother was like that.
Old Madam Shen walked a few steps to Shen Jingxuan's side and pulled her up.
She let Shen Jingxuan turn around in front of her and then held her in her arms.
Old Madam Shen had just been lying on Shen Jingxuan's shoulder for a while when she suddenly noticed that her clothes were a little wet.
If he hadn't seen her slightly shaking shoulders, Mr. Shen wouldn't have noticed.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Don't cry, just tell me what's going on."
"Grandma?" Shen Jingxuan called her puzzledly.
Old Madam Shen straightened up and said with a smile and tears: "Xuan'er, tell grandma, are you pregnant?"
Although the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion did not have many children, she had conceived a child before. Just by looking at Shen Jingxuan's expression, she guessed it.
Old Master Shen stared at Shen Jingxuan closely, and when he saw her nod slightly, he became furious.
He roared, "You are really crazy. You are already pregnant, and you still dare to go to the border?"
Madam Shen stepped on him hard and said, "You're already back, what's the point of being angry?"
She turned around and looked at Shen Jingxuan with a smile: "Xuan'er, tell grandma, how long have you been pregnant?"
"Four months." Shen Jingxuan answered truthfully.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Shen's tears began to flow again.
She choked up and said, "How much have you suffered? It's been four months and you can't even see it."
Even if a woman is from a poor family, her belly will already be slightly bulging when she is four months pregnant.
But if she hadn't guessed it from her facial expression, Shen Jingxuan's body would have been no different from that of an ordinary person.
Hearing what Old Lady Shen said, Shen Jingxuan's eyes turned red: "It's not hardship, it's just that the journey is long and a little tiring."
Xie Lingxiao lost his memory and has no idea what he originally looked like.
But these are her grandparents, how could they not notice it?
Looking at the slightly red eyes of the two elders, Shen Jingxuan's lips gradually curled up.
Perhaps, in the future, she can only experience such care and warmth in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?
After having lunch with Old Madam Shen and Old Master Shen, Shen Jingxuan was finally able to return to Yuxuan Courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the yard, I saw Chuntian standing there crying.
Shen Jingxuan glanced at Ling Huan, then she walked forward, took Chuntao's hand and walked away, disappearing in the yard in the blink of an eye.
Ling Qiong chuckled and said, "Princess, I'm afraid Chuntao's crybaby nature can't be changed."
Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly: "It's better to get married as soon as possible."
This also saves me from having to hide every time, or finding ways to make her hold it back.
Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong came to the room and looked at everything in the room. It was exactly the same as before she got married.
She leaned gently on the couch, and her troubled heart of days was slightly relieved.
"Ling Qiong, do you know what's going on in the Prince's Mansion?"
"I don't know yet."
They just returned to the city yesterday, and the people guarding the Prince's Mansion were still unaware of this, so they did not report any news back.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Logically speaking, it is impossible for the emperor to remain indifferent after seeing the news conveyed in the palace."
"Princess, the prince will investigate these matters, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Yes, he's back. I don't need to worry about these things. But I feel uneasy without any news."
"I'll send them a message and ask about recent events so that the princess won't worry about them."
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
She knew that Xie Lingxiao would send someone to investigate, and she also knew that once he found out what Xie Zihan had done, he would not let him off easily.
But how could she feel at ease when asked to put everything aside and focus on her pregnancy?
After Ling Qiong left, Shen Jingxuan leaned on the couch, thinking about the Prince's Mansion and the Emperor, and gradually fell asleep.
After days of running around and last night's incident with Xie Lingxiao, she almost didn't sleep all night and could no longer hold on.
I don’t know how long I slept, but a knock on the door woke Shen Jingxuan up, and she called the person into the room.
"What happened?" Shen Jingxuan frowned slightly.
Ling Huan handed the letter in his hand to Shen Jingxuan: "Princess, do you think this is the letter from Guizhi?"
"The porter said that the messenger put the letter into his hand and left in a hurry."
Cassia twig?
She hadn't sent me a message for a long time, and it was impossible for her to send a message in this way.
Guizhi always only trusted the people around her, and most of the time when she sent a letter, she would tell the doorman to deliver it to Chuntao.
Shen Jingxuan opened the letter and looked at the word "Big Sister" written on it with a puzzled look on her face.
"Shen Jinghuan?"
When did she become so familiar with Shen Jinghuan that she wanted to exchange letters with her?
Shen Jingxuan looked down, and after she finished reading, she handed the letter to Ling Qiong.
"Is there any news from the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace in the palace?"
Ling Qiong said: "They said that after you set fire to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot."
"The next day, before he woke up, the emperor issued an order to confine him to his room, and now he is still trapped in the prince's mansion."
Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Xie Zihan can't be quiet even though he is trapped in the Prince's Mansion."
"Shen Jinghuan said that he had correspondence with someone else. Is it possible to find out who the other person is?"
She and I have never been on good terms, so why would she send me such a letter?
Thinking about Shen Jinghuan's apology and confession at the last palace banquet, Shen Jingxuan didn't think she would truly wake up.
How could a person who never turns back until he hits a wall easily make changes?
Ling Qiong said: "If it is really as Shen Jinghuan said, the people in the palace should have noticed it, but they did not report it."
Shen Jingxuan asked: "Do you know their identities in the Prince's Mansion? Are they Xie Zihan's confidants?"
"How could Xie Zihan let such a secret matter be known to everyone?"
No matter how stupid Xie Zihan is, he won't expose everything.
And the thing that made him so careful must be extremely important.
"I will contact the people in the temple and ask them to investigate more carefully."
"Forget it. If we investigate too carefully, we will come into contact with Xie Zihan or his cronies, which may expose their identities."
They were the people carefully arranged by Xie Lingxiao, so how could they be exposed easily?
If my identity is exposed now, it will be difficult to insert people in the future.
Shen Jingxuan was silent for a long time: "Ling Qiong, go find Li Luo and ask him to send someone to investigate. It would be best if they can collect those letters."
"Okay, I'll go find him now."
Shen Jingxuan leaned on the couch, feeling a little confused for a moment.
The emperor was suspicious by nature, so why did he only put Xie Zihan under house arrest after he learned that Xie Zihan was not a prince and had colluded with Song Yi?
Even if there was no real evidence, the emperor would not have confined him and remained indifferent.
After Shen Jingxuan thought for a long time, she slowly sat up and called Ling Huan.
"Ling Huan, go ask the third old man if there is anything unusual happening in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently?"
After thinking for a moment, she continued, "And the Queen."
