Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 193 Come On, Work Hard

Not long after Nangong Yue left, Gu Chen came back from the morning session.

Seeing Jiang Heyan and Chun Xia sitting in the main hall chatting, Gu Chen walked in and asked with a smile: "You two were not staying in the backyard, why did you come to the main hall?"

The main hall is used to entertain foreign guests. Usually Jiang Anran, Xiao Lexuan and others come over, and Jiang Heyan comes to sit. Most of the time, she likes to stay in the backyard.

"His Royal Highness is back."

Hearing Gu Chen's voice, Jiang Heyan reacted and immediately stood up to greet him.

"Well, I just settled Li Hongxiong's matter today."

Gu Chen smiled, and then said: "By the way, Yan'er, come with me to the palace tomorrow. The mother-in-law said she wants to meet us."

Jiang Heyan was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is it the child's problem again?"

Gu Chen looked at the sad little girl in front of him, smiled and nodded, "I estimate...90% of this is the case..."

Jiang Heyan: ....

She and His Highness have been working very hard to make a baby.

It's a pity that my stomach is not up to par. It has been more than half a year and there is still no movement at all.

She was actually quite anxious.

If she still can't conceive the emperor's heir, the mother-in-law will definitely feel that there is something wrong with her body.

Gu Chen saw Jiang Heyan's worry and quickly held her in his arms and said dotingly: "It's okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. If the mother-in-law really mentions the child, I'll cover it for you. "

Seeing His Highness caring about her so much, Jiang Heyan's eyes were a little sore and she felt like she was about to pee, "Your Highness."

At the same time, I silently cheered myself up. No matter what, I must strive to conceive a baby this month.

Seeing such an intimate behavior between the two of them, Chun Xia, who was standing aside, blushed and immediately turned around, silently reciting in her heart: "See no disrespect, hear no disrespect, no disrespect..."

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Heyan's mood eased a bit and she said, "By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you just now."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Jiang Heyan added: "Nangong Yue came here today and took out two receipts. One is for you to buy food from her, and the other is for one thousand taels of gold."

Gu Chen was stunned and asked, "Where is she now?"

"She has gone back."

Hearing Jiang Heyan say that Nangong Yue had gone back, Gu Chen seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked: "Yan'er, um...did you give her the money?"

Jiang Heyan nodded, "Well, I saw His Highness's handwriting on the receipt. It should be authentic. After that, I asked the housekeeper to pay her the money."

"Okay, that's okay."

Gu Chen smiled lightly and did not pursue the matter any further.

Nangong Yue was really helpful in catching the Qingshui County magistrate and Li Hongxiong this time. If you put aside the grudges between the two families, this amount of money is indeed not excessive.

Originally, he had no intention of going back on his word, but when the other party came to ask for it, he wanted to get the dagger he used back.

But now that He Yan has actually given the money to the other party, there is no need to talk about it anymore.

....

The next day, Gu Chen brought Jiang Heyan to Yong'an Palace. The noble concubine Xiao seemed to have been waiting in the palace for a long time.

"My son has met my mother and concubine!"

"Daughter-in-law Jiang Heyan has met my mother-in-law."

Gu Chen bowed down and saluted Mrs. Xiao, and Jiang Heyan beside him immediately followed suit.

Ms. Xiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at the two of them, then said softly: "Sit down first!"

"yes."

The two of them, Gu Chen, casually found a seat and sat down.

At this time, Mrs. Xiao asked: "I heard from Yan'er before that you secretly went to Huzhou some time ago, so you reported to His Majesty the affairs of the Li family."

Although Jiang Heyan lives in Prince Zhuang's Mansion, she comes to the palace every week to pay her respects to the noble concubine Xiao.

This is the rule.

However, Gu Chen was in a hurry to go to Huzhou and did not have time to report to Xiao. Later, Jiang Heyan told her that she learned that Gu Chen had gone to Huzhou.

Gu Chen nodded, "Well, the reason why the disaster in Huzhou has become serious is that officials are seriously corrupt. Li Hongxiong is just one of them, and he should be killed!"

Mrs. Xiao said: "You have indeed done a good job in this matter. It can be seen that among the princes now, His Majesty is the most satisfied with you."

Gu Chen said modestly: "My son, I will try my best to do a good job."

At this time, Madam Xiao looked at Jiang Heyan who was sitting next to her, "Yan'er, how long have you been married to Chen'er now."

Jiang Heyan tensed up and felt a little uneasy, "Returning to mother and concubine, my daughter-in-law and His Highness got married on September 9th. It is now late May, and it has been nine months."

"Nine months, that's a lot of time."

Mrs. Xiao glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you two hiding something from me?"

Gu Chen said: "My son, I have never concealed anything. Please be at ease, mother and concubine."

Mrs. Xiao frowned and asked in confusion: "Then why has it been so long and there is still no movement in Yan'er's stomach?"

For ordinary people, there will be movement within half a year at most.

Now Chen'er and the others have been here for more than half a year, and there is still no movement in their stomachs.

Immediately, Mrs. Xiao looked at Jiang Heyan again and asked: "Yan'er, please answer my concubine honestly, how is your relationship with Chen'er?"

Jiang Heyan said softly: "Your Highness and I have a very good relationship."

"How often do you usually consummate your marriage?"

"this..."

Jiang Heyan's face turned red and she hesitated a little, not knowing how to answer.

In the past two months, His Highness has been almost out of town and has no chance to contact him.

In the past, when I was more diligent, I would do it once a day, usually once every three days.

However, this obscure and private topic still made it difficult for her to talk about it.

Seeing Jiang Heyan at a loss, Gu Chen quickly interrupted and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, Yan'er and I have a very good relationship, and we will take care of the child's affairs. I am also busy with official duties during this period. , I went to other places again, so there was less contact."

Seeing Gu Chen's unconcerned look, Mrs. Xiao gave him a helpless look, "It's good that you know, but children are a big deal. Now Nangong Yue of the Prime Minister's Mansion is married to King Yun, and they are the ones left by His Majesty before you. Your Majesty, your reputation as Prince Zhuang will definitely be affected."

"My mother-in-law doesn't mean to say anything to you, I just hope that you will hurry up, and it is best to let your belly move in the next two months!"

Gu Chen directly went in the left ear and out the right ear, and then replied: "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Heyan beside her bit her thin lips and silently clenched her little hands.

In order not to be urged to come down by her mother-in-law and her maternal family in the future, she must give His Highness a baby as soon as possible.

Preferably a fat boy.

I don't know how long they chatted before Gu Chen and Gu Chen left Yong'an Palace.

On the carriage, Jiang Heyan leaned on Gu Chen's shoulder, her face full of exhaustion.

"tired?"

Gu Chen smiled and asked.

Jiang Heyan sighed and said helplessly: "I'm not tired physically, but mentally. Your Highness, when can we have our own baby? Every time I go to see my mother-in-law or go back to my parents' home, they are indispensable. Ask a few questions."

Gu Chen put his arms around the other party's shoulders and comforted him: "We'll do our best."
