Chapter 221
"My lord, you are back."
Lin Yunwan had just closed her eyes and rested for a while when she heard movement outside.
Unexpectedly, Qi Lingheng is back!
He bent down and helped Lin Yunwan sit up without saying a word, saying warmly, "I'm back."
"There was some trouble in a remote county. I killed a few people... and that was the delay."
Qi Lingheng wanted to explain why he came back so late, but he didn't want to say bloody things in front of her.
Lin Yunwan understood in her heart.
Didn't someone almost die outside the city gate?
"You've worked hard these days, Yun Wan, I'll take you back."
Lin Yunwan was still a little worried, so she said hurriedly: "While you were away, I used your private seal, and now there are some in Jiang Qian's government office..."
"I know."
Qi Lingheng took a thick cloak that Lin Yunwan wore, put it on her and tied it. He lowered his eyes and said, "I heard a few things on the way back. Don't worry, I'll deal with some first."
"Now is not the time to take care of each other one by one. Wait for the victims to be resettled..."
There was a cold light in his eyes.
Lin Yunwan smiled slightly and held his hand.
Qi Lingheng said softly: "I'll take you back first."
Lin Yunwan didn't want to be held back, so she said, "My lord, please stay here and take charge. I can go back by myself."
Qi Lingheng insisted on sending her off.
"There is no shortage of people here to take charge of the overall situation, but I... am your husband and the father of your child."
He couldn't leave his wife and children behind.
Lin Yunwan felt at ease in her heart. She nodded and asked the girls to pack their things and return to Prince Huan's Mansion together.
She was really tired. After taking a bath, she fell asleep on the bed and slept until noon the next day.
Cuiqin saw her waking up and breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're finally awake!"
It scared her to death!
Lin Yunwan asked the time and found out how long she had slept.
She touched her belly and said, "It's a rare thing that this kid didn't kick me."
She was due to give birth in about two months, and she often couldn't sleep well, but she had a good night's sleep last night.
Cuiqin fetched water and helped Lin Yunwan wash up. She smiled and said, "The young prince also knows that you have worked hard and feels sorry for you."
Lin Yun smiled: "How do you know it's the prince? What if it's a girl?"
Cuiqin said, "I dreamed that I was a young prince."
She was so happy that she felt that her master must give birth to a young prince.
Lin Yunwan was very hungry and hurried to have lunch. She originally wanted Cuiqin to go out and ask if Qi Lingheng would be back at night.
Cuiqin said, "Your Majesty came back to see you in the morning. He saw that you were not awake and left without drinking tea. He said that he might not be able to come back tonight."
Lin Yunwan thought that Qi Lingheng would not come back.
Thinking of the people outside the city gate and the disaster relief work, she was no longer upset. With Qi Lingheng's ability and status, the situation would only get better, not worse.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yunwan had gone to sleep, but Qi Lingheng came back.
He quietly came back and took a look at Lin Yunwan. Seeing that her arms were not put under the quilt, he gently put them back for her.
When he came out, he told Cuiqin: "There is no need to tell the princess."
Cuiqin said softly: "Yes."
The next day Lin Yunwan herself felt someone coming in in the middle of the night, but she had already told Cuiqin that she had not told her not to disturb her by coming close at night.
Therefore, there is no maid around her to wait on her at night.
Lin Yunwan frowned and asked, "Did the prince come back last night?"
Cuiqin smiled and said, "The prince came back to see you in the middle of the night and then left."
She brought Lin Yunwan anti-fetal medicine.
Lin Yunwan pursed her lips and smiled, then drank the medicine slowly.
When Qi Lingheng came back to rest, Lin Yunwan ate and took a walk with him, and she knew that he came back in the middle of the night.
Qi Lingheng held her hand and said, "If I don't come back, some people won't be able to cover themselves with quilts."
"Did I kick the quilt?"
Lin Yunwan didn't believe it. She smiled and said, "I don't have this habit, so don't coax me."
"You didn't kick the quilt off, and you slept honestly. But you always like to put your arms outside."
That's true...
Lin Yunwan smiled: "You have been pampered since you were a child, and you know how to take care of others?"
Qi Lingheng looked at her and asked, "When did you learn to take care of others?"
"Of course it starts with taking care of my parents and younger brother."
When her father fell ill, Lin Yunwan was the first to take on the responsibility of the eldest daughter.
Qi Lingheng smiled and said, "I also have parents and relatives."
Lin Yunwan was slightly lost in thought.
As long as you have a heart, even if you are a member of the royal family, you will still love others.
Lin Yunwan's due date was September, and the palace sent several imperial doctors over in advance, including two gynecological experts.
She asked the imperial physician to take Xi Ruoye's pulse.
"It's Ximai."
Xiruo also has it.
Lin Yunwan was too heavy to get up, so she asked Cuiqin to send the imperial doctor out and give him some rewards.
He also urged Xiruo: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back and tell your husband?"
Xiruo pursed her lips and smiled: "The prince summoned Jiang Qian and provincial officials today to discuss rewards and punishments, but my husband will not be back soon."
Lin Yunwan thought for a moment.
She didn't listen to Qi Lingheng's talk about rewarding and punishing officials.
Don't know what he will do.
Jiang Qianfu Yamen.
Civil and military officials sat together.
Qi Lingheng is the presiding officer, and the adjutant is the chief executive of the two departments of the Provincial Envoy and the Provincial Envoy.
The case jointly tried by the feudal lord and the two departments was very complicated, and the trial lasted for nine days before the preliminary trial was decided.
Officials were talking a lot.
"This is more than just a reward based on merit, it is clearly... it is clearly..."
It’s to protect Princess Huan!
Those who acted according to orders at that time were rewarded. Those who disobeyed the princess's orders and spread rumors to cause trouble were arrested and demoted.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you are rewarded by the prince, you have done a good job. If you are punished by the prince, that is solid evidence."
In short, the preliminary review results cannot find any major faults.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that King Huan was extremely protective of Princess Huan.
"I don't think Prince Huan is a partial person, otherwise he wouldn't have criticized the princess's father."
The Qingshui Yamen where Lin Huabin worked failed to keep its responsibilities, and the entire Yamen was punished. He would not be able to think about his evaluation for the next three years.
After the results of the preliminary trial came out, he wanted to talk to Qi Lingheng.
Qi Lingheng was followed by two provincial-level officials, and Lin Huabin couldn't get in.
Although he was the "father-in-law", he was just an unknown official in the officialdom. Seeing King Huan go further and further away, he lowered his head and sighed.
His father-in-law is...
There are only losses, no gains.
"Your Majesty, the lower official handed over the preliminary trial files to the capital."
The chief envoy and the chief minister were all respectful and respectful.
Qi Lingheng nodded, his face was gentle but without a smile, as if he was thinking about something.
The two captains looked at each other. I wonder if the prince...is he still dissatisfied?
They had drums in their hearts and did not dare to take it lightly.
Ah Fu came over and said something in Qi Lingheng's ear. Qi Lingheng's expression changed, he hurriedly said hello to the two captains and left.
Both of them looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Ah Fu told them: "The princess has given birth!" He hurriedly chased her back and said to the two governors: "Excuse me, my lords, I will go back to the mansion first."
The two captains were very polite: "You go."
Ah Fu disappeared, and the two captains heaved a sigh of relief.
The chief envoy Du Si wiped his cold sweat and said: "...I just said that when the final trial was concluded, the prince nodded."
"It turns out that I was worried about the princess giving birth."
Du Si, the prosecutor of the execution, patted his colleague on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's a false alarm, it's a false alarm."
