Zhou Jiaying glared at the nanny and said, “Did you hear that? Be more careful in the future. If there’s a next time, I’ll take your life.”
“This servant will remember this. I will be careful in the future.” The nanny immediately knelt and kowtowed.
“Alright, hurry up and carry her down to rub her stomach.” Zhou Jiaying gave the baby to her after saying that.
She rubbed her sore shoulders and turned around to go back to bed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yu coughed dryly and said, “Madam, His Highness is here.” “Really? Your Highness…” Zhou Jiaying had just turned around when she saw him leaving. She immediately got up and ran after him.
However, King Kang was no longer there when she lifted her curtains.
She looked at Mrs. Yu with dissatisfaction and asked, “Mrs. Yu, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“At that time, everyone was worried about the young miss. I forgot about it for a moment; please punish me.” Mrs. Yu knelt and asked for forgiveness.
“Just be careful in the future.” Zhou Jiaying paused momentarily before asking, “What’s going on? Why did you take so long to call the doctor over?”
Mrs. Yu chased everyone out before whispering, “I heard that Seventh Young Master Su was struck by lightning. The doctor only came over after treating Seventh Young Master Su’s injuries.”
Speaking of this, she remembered King Kang’s reaction. She was a little disappointed with His Highness’ attitude, but since her Madam was still in confinement from childbirth, she could only keep her mouth shut.
Zhou Jiaying smiled. Being struck by lightning in the middle of winter—wasn’t that a punishment from the heavens?
At this thought, her expression froze and turned into a look of fear. She solemnly instructed, “Watch the servants in the courtyard. If anyone dares to spread the word, slap them until they shut up.”
“I understand.”
“You may leave.” Zhou Jiaying went back to her bed and pondered.
Could it be that King Kand was so busy that he didn’t even have a chance to see her?
But what were they busy with? Why would the heavens punish them? It seemed that she had to send a letter to her father to warn him.
Zhou Ying looked at Zhou Jiaying’s troubled face and pitied her a little.
Zhou Jiaying and King Kang were childhood friends, and their marriage was done voluntarily.
But it seemed that there was exaggeration in this ‘voluntary act’.
At the very least, Zhou Jiaying wasn’t living as happily as she had imagined.
Zhou Ying retreated and headed toward the palace.
It was already late at night, but the Emperor was still engrossed in approving many requests. Suddenly, he stared blankly at a memorial.
“Li, do you still remember who oversaw the construction of the Xiao River five years ago?”
“This old servant is stupid and really can’t remember. I will go and search for it immediately.” After saying that, Eunuch Li turned around, went to the side hall, and began searching through the various memorials.
Needless to say, the many documents were arranged neatly and were easy to search through.
Soon, he found a scroll and hurriedly handed it to the Emperor. “Your Highness, we didn’t send anyone to supervise the construction.
“It was supervised by the local officials after the imperial court allocated funds.”
The Emperor took the memorial and opened it carefully to examine it. Sure enough, he did not send anyone down at the time, but the local officers were from the Marquis of Ding’an’s faction or the people of the Eldest Prince.
Yang Shicheng and Lord Bai from the Ministry of Works were also responsible for this matter.
“Is there any news from Xiao Heng over the past two days?”
“Since Chief Xiao accepted the mission, he rarely reentered the palace and didn’t send any useful news.”
“It looks like they are well hidden.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he threw the memorial on his table..
