Chapter 115: Frost Injury
When Shuangjiang heard the voice, he was delighted, turned around and bowed slightly, saying respectfully, "Your Highness."
Si Jinchen nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to take Qi'an from her arms, then looked at Princess An with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, why are you not in the front yard at this time, and come to the backyard?"
Princess An was a little nervous under his gaze, and lowered her head and said, "I heard that the little prince is good-looking, so I can't wait to come and see him."
Si Jinchen's eyes were slightly cold, and he said directly: "It's better to talk to father later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left, holding Qi'an.
Seeing this, Frost and the others hurriedly followed.
Princess An stood there, watching Si Jinchen's receding back.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips, lowered her head and looked at her hands, with a strange look in her eyes.
forecourt.
Si Jinchen came over holding Qi'an.
The emperor was the first to step forward to take little Qian'an and play with him for a while, but little Qian'an was quickly snatched away by the empress dowager who had just arrived.
The emperor stood there, watching with a smile as the empress dowager held her great-grandson and teased him.
Seeing this, Si Jinchen, who was standing by, walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
After hearing this, the emperor took him to an empty corner, his face darkened, and he asked in confusion: "Why did she run to your backyard for no reason?"
Si Jinchen thought of what Ah Wan had whispered in his ear from time to time during her confinement period, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but the situation is complicated now, and it's impossible for her to go to the backyard of my Eastern Palace for no reason. What I'm more worried about is that if she is bribed by someone, she will take this opportunity to inquire about the news of my Eastern Palace and then secretly pass it on."
The emperor pondered for a moment, thinking that the prince had not asked him these requests for a long time, and he felt satisfied. He said in a deep voice: "Xiao Anzi."
Upon hearing this, Bu Zian, who was not far away, hurriedly walked forward with his head down.
The emperor whispered, "Send a few people to check on Princess An and her family. Remember, don't let any rumors spread."
Bu Zian responded respectfully, then turned and left.
Si Jinchen frowned slightly and said softly: "Father, this timing..."
The emperor waved his hand, interrupting him, and said in a deep voice: "But the situation is complicated now, and we have to be on guard. If someone really wants to use the Xia family to deal with you and me, the consequences will be disastrous."
Si Jinchen nodded and said nothing more.
His purpose has been achieved.
Now it depends on whether the Xia family is really that clean.
Princess An, well, I hope she is an honest and decent person.
Not long after, Princess An also came to the front yard and chatted and laughed with familiar people as if nothing had happened.
However, her gaze would occasionally sweep towards little Qi'an who was surrounded by everyone, and the topic would be intentionally or unintentionally led to Qi'an.
Princess Gong, who was standing next to her, looked at her and couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Why, do you want to have a child yourself?"
When Princess An heard this, she paused, then smiled bitterly and said, "I do want to, but it's probably impossible."
Princess Gong knew that she was not favored by Prince An, so she comforted her: "It's not difficult. As long as the prince is willing to work hard, there will always be success."
After hearing this, Princess An felt bitter in her heart, but she still forced a smile and said, "Sister is right, it's just that the prince..."
Having said this, she stopped talking and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Princess Gong knew her difficulty and changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that Concubine Mu is pregnant again, right? I don't think I saw her this time."
When Princess An heard this question, she was stunned, lowered her eyelids, and whispered, "Yes, but it's less than two months. I've been staying in the mansion to take care of my pregnancy recently. The prince attaches great importance to it."
When Princess Gong saw her like this, she sighed in her heart and thought, Princess An is also a pitiful person. She has no children of her own, but has to watch other women give birth one after another. How can she feel good?
So, she stopped talking about it and said, "I see that there doesn't seem to be anyone around the little prince right now, so I plan to go check it out. Do you want to come with me?"
Princess An was delighted when she heard this, and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."
In fact, she had wanted to step forward for a long time, but because she was frightened by the prince before, she had never found a suitable opportunity. Now hearing what Princess Gong said, she naturally wanted it more than ever.
As soon as the words came out, the two of them walked over together.
The Queen Mother stayed for a short time before leaving, so it was Frost that was holding Qi'an at this moment.
Princess Gong stepped forward and took a look at the little prince in Shuangjiang's arms, and praised with a smile: "Jun Yi is so cute. I have to say, he looks so much like the prince, as if they were carved from the same mold."
Princess An also came forward and looked at the little prince's face carefully. A gleam in her eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Yes, the little prince is really handsome."
The two of them praised the little prince and teased him at the same time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Princess An's eyes inadvertently caught the palace maid holding the little prince staring at her. Her heart suddenly tightened and she coughed twice unconsciously, and her hands under her sleeves clenched involuntarily.
However, not long after, a palace maid quietly walked up to Shuangjiang and whispered a few words to her.
After listening to this, Shuangjiang nodded slightly and said, "I understand. I will carry the little grandson back to the palace later."
The palace maid nodded when she heard this, and then quietly retreated.
At this moment, Princess An seemed to lose her balance suddenly and fell forward.
She suddenly let out a sharp and piercing scream, and then fell towards Frost who was holding the little grandson.
When the people in the yard heard the noise, they all turned around to look.
Princess An's right hand was waving in the air, and was about to touch Qi An.
But Shuangjiang, who had been closely watching her every move, reacted very quickly. She hugged the little grandson in her arms tightly and turned her body backwards in an instant, trying to avoid Princess An's touch.
However, Princess An was faster and her right hand still grabbed Frost's back.
Frost suddenly groaned, and a sharp pain came from his back.
She endured the pain and hugged Qi'an tightly in her arms, fearing that he would be hurt.
At the same time, Princess An lost her balance and could not control her body, and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
The prince had just finished chatting with the emperor and was walking out.
When he just turned the corner, he heard a scream from outside and looked up subconsciously.
What caught my eye was the scene where Princess An fell down and almost hurt Qi An by mistake.
Si Jinchen's heart tightened and he immediately strode over.
He stretched out his hand, carefully took Qi'an from Shuangjiang's arms, patted his back gently, and saw that the little guy in his arms was fine.
Then he glanced at Shuangjiang's back and immediately turned around and told Zhong Chengyi, "Go get the imperial physician."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chengyi nodded hurriedly and turned around to give orders.
After Si Jinchen finished giving the order, he glanced at Princess An on the ground, his eyes were cold and his tone was mocking, "Princess An, can't you even stand steadily?"
