At that time, Ye Chu and Wen Zheng were sitting side by side in the carriage, both of them were dressed luxuriously.

The heavy dress on Ye Chu's body and her pregnant belly made it difficult for her to move. In the eyes of others, Wen Zheng should have protected Ye Chu and prevented the assassin from rushing into the carriage.

But Wen Zheng saw from the eyes of the assassins that they were targeting him, so he chose to stay away in order not to implicate Ye Chu.

His behavior seemed to be heartless, but it was actually an act of caring with a change of heart.

However, when Ye Chu saw Wen Zheng leave, he couldn't help feeling a little cold, so he misunderstood Wen Zheng.The two remained relatively silent on the road, even though Wen Zheng wanted to find an opportunity to explain several times, Ye Chu left with an excuse.

After a few times, even though the two of them already understood it, the conflict has remained.All the way to Zhuyin Temple, the discordant atmosphere between the emperor and empress was still noticed by the maids who came to greet her.

This time, the Queen Mother called Ye Chu to her usual place where she worshiped the Buddha, and she wanted to chat with Ye Chu at the same time when reminiscing about the past, so that she could ease the relationship with Wen Zheng.

After Ye Chu heard this, his brows and eyes were indifferent, and he didn't give the Queen Mother a positive response.

She knows her own affairs well, and her emotions towards Wen Zheng are really complicated and changeable.Even she herself is difficult to grasp, let alone how much she can listen to the advice of others!

This is because the person who spoke was the empress dowager, and the empress dowager in the previous life had always been good to her, so Ye Chu didn't refute it, but blurted it out with ambiguous words.

Although Ye Chu did not give a positive reply, her very respectful and modest attitude made the Queen Mother look satisfied.

"Okay, I shouldn't talk too much about your young couple! Go back, remember to take care of the baby in your womb, this is the eldest son of our royal family!"

The queen mother glanced at Ye Chu's protruding abdomen with sharp eyes, and then winked at the maid next to her without any trace.

The maid who had just brought Ye Chu in immediately stepped forward with a smile and supported Ye Chu's free left arm, and was very attentive to help Ye Chu out.

Such a close move made Ye Chu's heart skip a beat, and then she heard the queen mother say loudly: "This maid is called Ding Xiang, she is a daughter raised by a barefoot doctor's family at the foot of the mountain, she is good at identifying materials and medicines, mourning The family will give her to you as a gift."

Before Ye Chu could refuse, Ding Xiang quickly bowed his knees and bowed, saying: "My servant thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness. It is a great blessing for this servant to be able to follow the Queen Mother!"

Such a quick movement immediately made Ye Chu slightly frown. She raised her head and glanced at the expression on the Empress Dowager's face, and found that the Empress Dowager had a clear expression on her face. She did not reprimand Ding Xiang for her slightly rude behavior, but was rather satisfied. He immediately understood.

Forget it, if this person is really as good at medicine as the queen mother said, it would be a good idea to keep him as a little maid on order, after all, it is the kindness of the queen mother.

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, Ye Chu was about to open his mouth to agree, when he suddenly thought of the complex relationship between himself and Wen Zheng, and it was inconvenient for the Queen Mother to know.

If the Empress Dowager knew that she had hurt Wen Zheng, there would be another storm in the palace.

Ye Chu sighed in his heart, stretched out his hand to help Ding Xiang up, turned his head and said sincerely to the queen mother: "Thank you for your concern, but the concubine already has a competent imperial doctor who is taking care of her, and it's just icing on the cake that Miss Ding Xiang is gone. Staying with the Empress Dowager will make it easier to take care of your body!"

Although these words are sincere, it is difficult to conceal the obvious meaning of rejection.

The Empress Dowager's expression darkened immediately, she stared at Ye Chu's face for two breaths, and then waved her hand pretending to be tired.

"Since you have already made up your mind, then do it, Ding Xiang will stay by Aijia's side."

After the queen mother said this, Ding Xiang, who was standing aside, turned pale immediately.But she, a little maid, was powerless and could only watch Ye Chu salute and leave.

When Ye Chu was led by the monks from Zhuyin Temple to the room where she was about to stay, she suddenly saw a familiar figure from the pavilion in the garden next to her, it was Wen Zheng.

As if feeling Ye Chu's gaze, Wen Zheng also turned around and gave her a fixed look.The two eyes met, and then quickly staggered away.

The monk retreated after sending Ye Chu to him. Seeing the crowd disperse, Wen Zheng flicked his sleeves, went to the door and knocked on the door, but soon heard Ye Chu who was sitting in the room speak coldly. Throw out the word "not seen".

Wen Zheng, who was standing outside the door, felt a little helpless.But after he thought about it, he had to say that this meant that Ye Chu was very familiar with him, so he guessed that the person standing outside the door was him.

Wen Zheng was silent for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "I came here this time to ask the queen mother what she said when she called you over?"

Although Wen Zheng knew that with the Queen Mother's character, he would never embarrass Ye Chu face to face.But he was still uneasy. After all, according to the information disclosed by the maid serving the queen mother, Ye Chu refused the queen mother's gift of a medical lady.

This is not a good sign.

The faint sound of people walking around in the room was heard by the eyes and ears, but apart from this small sound, Ye Chu's answer was not heard.

Another moment passed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that Ye Chu didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the surrounding guards were arranged around the courtyard, and the maids also brought the washing utensils lightly.

Wen Zheng watched all this quietly, until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the lights and candles in Ye Chu's room were blown out, and he never left the porch.

The palace ladies passing by had already received Wen Zheng's instructions, and they didn't salute and call him by name when they walked around.

It wasn't until Ye Chu woke up from a dream in the middle of the night and wanted to get some air that Wen Zheng was still standing in front of his door, apparently keeping vigil for her.

"Tomorrow is the blessing ceremony, what are you delaying here?"

Ye Chu pursed his lips, after thinking about it, he took off his cloak and put it on Wen Zheng, and then pulled Wen Zheng into the room.

Seeing that the plan was successful, Wen Zheng looked at Ye Chu who was busy with himself, holding the hot ginger tea in his hand and showing a smug smile.

The second day was the blessing ceremony, and the ceremony was busy for a while.

After the ceremony was finally over, Wen Zheng and Ye Chu hurriedly replaced the heavy dresses they were wearing with light clothes, and started touring the Zhuyin Temple.

Zhuyin Temple is built next to mountains and rivers. There is a vast forest on the back mountain, and this is where the villagers at the foot of the mountain cut firewood and hunt for their livelihood.
