When Leng Qiyue heard Peony say that Bai Lan is back, she immediately stood up in excitement and said, "He's back? Where is he? "

Han Ruoxue faintly said, "You aren't thinking of eloping with him, are you?"

Peony rolled her eyes at Han Ruoxue and said, "This child is definitely Dongfang Haotian, right?"

Leng Qiyue was not in the mood to dwell on this topic. She said, "It's Dongfang Haotian's. It's just that he doesn't believe it. Where is Bai Lan?"

The peony said, "You'll have to ask Dongfang Haotian then. Bai Lan stayed here for a while three days ago, and in the afternoon she went to report to the Imperial Palace." If there's no news of him in the palace, then Dongfang Haotian will have to bite the dust from jealousy. " After saying that, she made a chopping motion with her palm against her neck.

Leng Qiyue sat down in a daze. Her heart was in chaos; could Dongfang Haotian be that cruel?

Seeing Leng Qiyue's frown, Peony comforted her, "It's fine, I was just spouting nonsense. Did you come here today to look for me for something? "

Leng Qiyue almost forgot her purpose in coming here. She nodded and said, "I want you to help me find out who the child in Lin Fei's stomach belongs to. Is it Dongfang Haotian?"

Peony rested her chin on her hand and leaned her head against the table. "Didn't Dongfang Haotian take the Turtle Breath Pill? Why would a concubine get pregnant? " As she spoke, she glanced at Leng Qiyue's stomach.

Leng Qiyue's face was filled with black lines as she snorted, "Do you want me to swear an oath?"

Peony laughed dryly. "No need, no need. I trust you."

"What is a Turtle Breath Pill? I've never even heard of it. " Even though Leng Qiyue was the last disciple of the Poison Immortal, her secret techniques only recorded high-end items. Therefore, she still had many things that she did not know. Otherwise, she would not be able to tell that the bowl of medicine was a Body Nourishing Medicinal Substance.

Peony said, "The Turtle Breath Pill is something from the palace. It is a forbidden medicine that can make a man unable to bear children. The number of days you can control depending on the amount of medicine you consume. Thus, if it wasn't for Dongfang Haotian's permission, there wouldn't be any concubines in the imperial harem getting pregnant. "

Leng Qiyue nodded her head in understanding, "So that's how it is."

Peony thought for a moment before saying, "Lin Fei is the empress dowager's man. It's impossible for Dongfang Haotian to impregnate her. I assume your suspicions are correct. I'd like to see what kind of person this child's father is."

Leng Qiyue noticed that Han Ruoxue's expression wasn't good, so she asked, "Ruoxue, what's wrong?"

Han Ruoxue faintly smiled, concealing her desolate expression. She said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the palace is too frightening."

Peony pursed her lips. "You've never stayed in the palace before. How do you know how terrifying it is?"

Han Ruoxue said with a smile, "Just listening to what you have to say, I can already imagine how frightening the palace is."

Leng Qiyue smiled. "That's right, the palace is a terrifying place. This is especially true for children born in the royal family. Even though they have safely grown up, their hearts have become riddled with scars. "

Han Ruoxue thoughtfully looked at Leng Qiyue and silently sipped her tea.

Peony stood up. "Do you live here today?"

Leng Qiyue shook her head. "That won't do. I'll have to create new problems. I think it's better if I go back."

Peony nodded. Looking at the sky, she said, "It's still too early to go to the city gates. Come with me to buy some things. I haven't been out for a long time."

Leng Qiyue nodded, but hesitated when she saw Han Ruoxue.

Peony snorted coldly. "If anyone dares to stop me from leaving today, I'll chop them off." After she finished speaking, she glared at Han Ruoxue as if she was referring to something.

Han Ruoxue lowered her head to drink her tea like a sheep, not saying a word. He knew how powerful this tigress was.

Leng Qiyue was truly envious of their days. She was looking forward to such a life!

Peony pulled Leng Qiyue up and said, "Let's go. Let's go."

Leng Qiyue nodded and followed Peony out.

The streets of the capital were bustling with noise and excitement. Every peddler wanted to sell their wares so they could go home and rest. Therefore, everything was being sold at a reduced price. Such a method of doing business was very similar to that of the modern era, or it could be said that the modern era continued to use the ancient methods of doing business.

The two girls went out into the street, and Peony, who was pregnant, was especially interested in the children's things. She bought a lot of small clothes and toys. Han Ruoxue, who was following behind them, was almost full of bodies. He could only bitterly smile as he followed behind them.

When the sun was about to set, Peony leaned on his waist and said, "I can't take it anymore. I haven't had any exercise in a long time. I'm so tired. I'm not going. I'm hungry too. Let's go eat."

Han Ruoxue, who hadn't said a word along the way, said, "The food outside is not clean …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Peony roared in madness, "Shut up for me!"

Han Ruoxue obediently shut her mouth and followed her into the restaurant with a resentful expression.

The three of them found a private room. Peony ordered a lot of dishes, most of them sour.

Leng Qiyue teased him, "It looks like your baby is your son. It's so sour and spicy."

Peony chuckled. "What about you?" Do you like the sour ones or the spicy ones? "

Leng Qiyue recalled for a moment before saying, "I don't have any special preferences. It seems sour and spicy food."

Peony stared at her stomach. "Could it be the birth of a dragon and a phoenix?"

Leng Qiyue smiled but didn't say anything. This era didn't have any B-mode, who knew?

After the dishes were served, Peony started to eat. She looked at Ning Xuemo dotingly with a cold gaze and would occasionally raise her hand to wipe off the grease from the corner of her mouth.

Leng Qiyue looked at the two of them and started to eat. She was not envious of their love, but thought of Bai Lan. He was as gentle and gentle as Han Ruoxue, quietly guarding by his side.

Seeing that Leng Qiyue was holding onto a green bamboo shoot and had not moved for a long time, Peony did not know where her soul had gone. He asked, "Qiyue, what are you thinking about?"

Leng Qiyue came back to her senses and put down her chopsticks. "I was thinking about Bai Lan."

The Peony laughed. "Aiya, I miss my little lover."

Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes at her and pretended to be angry, "If you say anymore nonsense then I won't care about you."

Peony chortled. "Men can have three wives and four concubines. Why can't women have three husbands and four maids?" She lowered her voice again and said, "Why don't you push down that brat Dongfang Haotian and make yourself a queen. At that time, you can also set up a Three Palaces and Six Houses, right?"

Leng Qiyue was drinking her tea and nearly choked on her words. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, don't speak nonsense."

Peony smiled but said nothing. Han Ruoxue squeezed her hand and shook her head. Peony blinked. "It's a joke. Don't take it seriously."

Leng Qiyue smiled without a care. She knew Peony's personality, of course she wouldn't take it to heart. However, he didn't catch the hidden meaning behind Peony's words. He just didn't let Han Ruoxue make it clear.

Peony was finally full. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Did the empress dowager make things difficult for you?"

Leng Qiyue said, "She wouldn't do it herself. Instead, she let Lin Fei bring me a box of forbidden foods for pregnant women to eat. "Fortunately, Xue Ling only managed to get away after she changed into my appearance. Otherwise, she would be suspicious if she saw that I didn't eat it."

Peony asked, "Suspicion? Why suspicious? What exactly is going on? "

Leng Qiyue sighed as she recounted what happened that day. Peony slapped the table in anger and loudly cursed, "That kid, Dongfang Haotian, is really not human. He's not even letting his own child off … "Mmm mmm …"

Han Ruoxue quickly covered Peony's mouth and nervously looked outside, hoping that her voice was not loud enough for the people outside to not hear.

Peony realized she had made a mistake. She pulled Han Ruoxue's hand away and whispered, "Is your child all right? Will it give birth to a deformed child? "

A dark cloud hung over Leng Qiyue's head. If it weren't for the fact that she had a big stomach, he would have already given her a chestnut burst.

Han Ruoxue said with a smile, "Don't speak nonsense. I think the emperor has his own plans. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent the birth control medicine after the fact."

Peony nodded. "That's true. I really don't understand what that kid is thinking. Does he have to have an unfathomable mind to be the Emperor?"

While Peony was complaining, the door to the private room was pushed open. Eight sabre-wielding guards rushed in …
