Zheng Zi agreed to go back to her parents' home to see her and she would come back that day, but now it is already a little late. Ji Xiaotang glanced at the bell ringing in the corner of the wall. This was the first time Zheng Zi said.

"Maybe something has stumbled on you." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qin Zhen nodded and did not take this matter seriously. In his opinion, the two concubines and concubines in the royal palace had a very good life. Although he rarely went to them, he had a lot of food and clothing at all.

Ji Xiaotang treated these two concubines and concubines very generously. In addition to the regular food, clothing and expenses, he also often rewarded some things. He was willing to praise them, take them to meet guests, or assign them some errands.

It is because these women have something at home that they only ask that Ji Xiaotang be on their heads, and Ji Xiaotang will deal with it as appropriate.

Qin Zhen didn't care about these things, but he knew what Ji Xiaotang did. Qin Zhen was very satisfied and relieved.

Whether for the concubines or for the two concubines, their life in the royal palace is far superior to their life in their parents' home. Ji Xiaotang allowed them to go back to their parents' home occasionally, but they were not allowed to spend the night at their parents' home.

This is not a rule set by Ji Xiaotang. In other big houses, there are generally such rules, that is, the head relatives have more freedom and power.

Qin Zhen did not take Zheng Zi's late return to heart, but Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, but he didn't say much.

When it was time to hold the lights, Zheng Zi still did not come back. Ji Xiaotang was about to beat someone to pick up Zheng Zi, but a little girl reported outside that someone from the Zheng family came.

The Zheng family beat a manager and came back with the big girl who served Zheng Zi. They reported to Ji Xiaotang that Zheng Zi accidentally ate and had a lot of trouble for almost a day, and today they could not return to the royal palace for the time being.

Zheng Zi wants to spend the night at her parents' home and come back tomorrow.

"The concubine is very uneasy and hard. She is trying to come back, but she can't get on the carriage at all. Her whole body is soft. It's good if the concubine is willing to be kind to her. If it is inappropriate, let's get the concubine back..." The manager of the Zheng family said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Since that's the case, it's okay to let her stay there for a rest all night. However, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Revenue took the princess back to visit her relatives, and the concubine would actually make her stomach trauma. When Lord Zheng saw my prince, he didn't know what he could say!"

The sarcastic meaning in Ji Xiaotang's tone is already quite obvious.

The manager's face was ashamed and dared not speak. He just lowered his head and listened to Ji Xiaotang's words, and then he wanted to say goodbye, saying that he would go back early so that Zheng Zi and the Zheng family could feel at ease.

"Wait a minute." Ji Xiaotang raised his hand to stop her, "Since the concubine is so sick, it's not a trivial matter."

Ji Xiaotang could give instructions and ask the imperial physician in the royal family to prepare, so he went to Zheng's house to take the pulse for Zheng Zi.

"The concubine's body is precious, you have to be careful and come back to report to me and the prince. It's also good that you have an idea." Ji Xiaotang specially called the imperial physician to the Shuichun Hall and gave instructions.

The imperial physician naturally agreed, and then followed the people to the Zheng family.

The people serving on both sides flattered Ji Xiaotang without any slightest idea, saying that she was kind and treated people well. Ji Xiaotang did this to give Zheng Zi a great decent attitude.

Ji Xiaotang smiled but said nothing.

The imperial physician went for a while before turning back, and came to Xichun Hall to report to Ji Xiaotang.

Zheng Zi was indeed ill of her stomach. When the imperial physician arrived there, Zheng Zi was almost exhausted.

"Fortunately, it was not hurt. I took good care of it and it would be better in a few days." The imperial physician of the royal family replied. He also copied a prescription prescribed for Zheng Zi for Ji Xiaotang to watch.

Ji Xiaotang looked at the prescription and nodded, and asked someone to reward the imperial physician and let him go.

Qin Zhen just finished taking a bath from the bathroom and turned out from the inner room.

"...Is he really sick?" Qin Zhen walked to the side of the kang, picked up the prescription on the table and looked at it, and asked casually. Obviously, before he came out, he also heard some of the words of the imperial physician.

"It seems that he is really sick." Ji Xiaotang responded, but he didn't agree.

The Zheng family is not a small family, and Zheng Zi has the identity of a concubine in the royal family. The things she has entered are only too detailed, and this is still the first month, so there is no possibility of a stomachache.

and……

"I asked the little girl who followed the imperial physician to pay attention. Zheng Zi, the only one in the Zheng family, is sick, but everyone else is fine."

Even if he really got a stomachache, Zheng Zi was the only one who was sick. He was so sick that he seemed even more strange.

"Xiaotang, look at it..." Qin Zhen frowned and sat down opposite Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang is not sure for the time being. Zheng Zi is planning to do something. But she is still very sure of one thing.

"......It's been a long time since I was alive, and I can't sit still anymore. I think they have really learned a lesson and know that it's not the case."

"If that's true, the old thief of the Zheng family will regret it and lose his wisdom." Qin Zhen said coldly.

The two of them talked for a while and then put Zheng Zi's affairs aside.

"Where is Xuan'er?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang.

Whenever Xuan'er was mentioned, Ji Xiaotang's mouth naturally smiled.

"The wet nurse just now served her and she had already fallen asleep." Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen with a smile, "I slept very sweetly, like a little pig."

Although Qin Zhen was not watching from the side, he seemed to have seen it with his own eyes after hearing Ji Xiaotang said this.

"I had a lot of fun in the Weiwu Hou Mansion today. I think he is tired too."

Today was a day at the Weiwu Hou Mansion, and everyone had a very happy life.

"Although Mr. Qi may not be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, he is very good at teaching his children. With him in the capital, the descendants of the Marquis Mansion of Weiwu can be more promising." Ji Xiaotang said.

"But he was unwilling to stay in the capital like this." Qin Zhen shook his head with a smile.

"Oh?" Ji Xiaotang was puzzled, "What did Mr. Qi say to the prince?"

Qin Zhen nodded: "What he meant was to take care of his body and go to Zhenshan Pass, or replace Ayou, or to guard Zhenshan Pass together."

"This is really... the ambition is endless." Ji Xiaotang sighed.

The people from the Qi family seem to be born for the battlefield.

"He said so too." Qin Zhen said with a smile.

As the two of them were talking, they were about to rest when they suddenly heard a noise coming.

Ji Xiaotang frowned at first. Although there are many people serving Xichuntang, there are also people coming and going. However, the people serving are very well-ruled. Not to mention noisy, there are no people with heavier steps and louder voices.

Especially now that it is already night. Such noisy people have committed a big taboo.

Frowning and thinking, Ji Xiaotang suddenly stood up because she heard that the noise seemed to come from Xuan'er's bedroom.

Qin Zhen also heard it. His face changed color and he stood up at the same time as Ji Xiaotang.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaotang asked, and came outside with Qin Zhen.

Before the two of them could reach the door, they saw Madam Cheng bringing Yao'er to a little girl and walking in. The wet nurse followed behind, holding Xuan'er in her arms.

Ji Xiaotang did not immediately ask Madam Cheng, but called the wet nurse in front of her first.

Xuan'er was awake, but her big eyes were a little confused, and she didn't seem to wake up naturally.

He hugged Xuan'er tightly into his arms, and carefully checked Xuan'er up and down. He made sure that Xuan'er was in good condition, and Ji Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she realized that she was holding Xuan'er, but Qin Zhen kept holding her.

Almost as Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er, Qin Zhen stretched out his hand and took the two of them into his arms.

"Please come..." Qin Zhen gave the order.

Although both of them have checked, Xuan'er should be fine, this does not make them completely relieved. It is not an exaggeration to be cautious about Xuan'er's issue.

Immediately someone ran to hire an imperial physician.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen were in the mood to sit down and ask what happened. In fact, when they saw the little girl being taken in, they vaguely guessed something.

Things, as they guessed.

Madam Cheng came forward and reported the cause and effect of the matter.

Xuan'er had enough food and drinks, but was coaxed to sleep by the wet nurse. Madam Cheng and the wet nurse took the little girls to take care of them inside and outside the house.

Madam Cheng originally served Ji Xiaotang most of the time, but since Xuan'er had, she had been by Xuan'er for a long time, so this was Ji Xiaotang's arrangement.

No one feels more at ease than Madam Cheng taking care of Xuan'er.

Especially recently, Ji Xiaotang was uneasy. Not for herself, but for Xuan'er, she simply ordered Madam Cheng to protect Xuan'er without leaving any steps.

Of course, Madam Cheng understood that she really followed Ji Xiaotang's instructions and took care of Xuan'er without any leakage.

But there was still something wrong.

The problem lies with the little girl they brought in.

This little girl was the one who served in the Snow Spring Hall, and Ji Xiaotang gave it to Xuan'er, but she still couldn't enter Xuan'er's house, so she could only run errands and do some work outside.

If such a little girl is really reliable and capable in a few years, she will definitely be promoted and may serve in Xuan'er's house.

Everyone in the palace knows that it is better to serve Ji Xiaotang in the inner house, but if you can serve the young prince, it will be very promising.

Ji Xiaotang treats people around him very well and pays almost more attention and preferential treatment to those who serve Xuan'er.

Even if the little girl has no talent, as long as she is loyal and reliable, she will be taken forward in a few years and there is no need to worry about her future.

Those who can be selected by Ji Xiaotang to serve Xuan'er are all fair-looking, with a steady word and deed, and a clean fortune.

But it was just such a little girl who had a problem.

"... Taking advantage of the loophole, I wanted to bring things to the little prince's house, but we were caught by us..." Madam Cheng reported to Ji Xiaotang, then wrapped a carefully in a veil and showed it to Ji Xiaotang.

"What is it?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"It is an extremely rare insect. Legend has it that only exists in the miasma in the extreme south. It can penetrate into people's bodies and absorb human essence and blood..."

Ji Xiaotang was shocked, and Qin Zhen's face was covered with clouds.

"How can I get this kind of thing in front of the princess and the little prince?" Qin Zhen scolded Madam Cheng.
