Chapter 204 Stopped
Frightened, Miss Zhang quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage to check if there was anyone from Prince Ning's Mansion. Seeing no one, she slapped Zhang Xiaoxiao in the face:
"You silly girl, why are you scaring me? If the prince said so, why didn't you tell me? Tell me! Do you want to see me punished?"
After Miss Zhang finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao viciously with a fierce look in her eyes, which was completely unlike what an elder should look like.
Zhang Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, hiding the fierceness in her eyes, and sobbed as she said:
"I don't have any, Auntie."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxiao crying, Miss Zhang stopped the carriage, pulled her clothes and threw her out, looking at her with ill intent:
"Hmph, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. You're so disrespectful to your elders. Get off the carriage and get some fresh air to clear your head. Let's see if you dare to do it again next time."
After suffering such humiliation, Zhang Xiaoxiao's face turned red with anger. She didn't know whether she was embarrassed or angry. People around her pointed and talked about her.
She could only cover her face and leave.
The next morning, before daybreak, the air was extremely cold.
But because there was a kang in the house, it wasn't that cold.
With Tang Ning's guidance and the help of information to find out how to make it, this kang has begun to be promoted in the border areas and many ordinary people have started using it in their homes.
Gu Mufeng got up carefully and washed up. Before opening the door, he lowered the curtains on the bed to prevent cold air from coming in and freezing Tang Ning when he opened the door.
Tang Ning's face was red from sleeping, and he hummed from time to time, indicating that he was not sleeping well.
Last night, for some unknown reason, she suddenly said that she wanted to sleep on the kang and didn't want to enter the space.
After entering the space, I have to get up early and sleep on the kang again, and I always can't sleep well.
The two simply didn't enter the space.
Song Nuannuan became pregnant earlier than Tangning, and this period was the time when she was about to give birth. As soon as Tangning entered the space, she looked at Song Nuannuan with worry.
Gu Mufeng also didn't want Tang Ning tossing and turning every day and not being able to sleep, causing everyone else to have a bad rest.
As soon as Gu Mufeng went out, he shivered violently at the alternating temperatures of cold and heat. With Tang Ning around this year, it was already the warmest winter he had ever experienced.
Thinking back now, those days were really not a life for a human being. He couldn't ride a horse to go to the military camp early in the morning, so he chose to walk.
He was stopped by Zhang Xiaoxiao who rushed out on the road.
"Prince Ning, please save me, I beg you!"
Gu Mufeng was so scared that he took several steps back. What was going on?
Looking around, there were no bad guys. In this kind of weather, no one would come out so early except people like him who had to get up early to go to the military camp.
It felt like everyone was numb from the cold, and there was no one guarding the gate of the mansion, for fear that someone would freeze to death.
It snowed last night.
Isn't this person cold? Gu Mufeng looked her up and down several times.
Zhang Xiaoxiao waited all night. Even though she hid in the carriage, had a warm quilt, and chose a place sheltered from the wind, it was still freezing cold.
At this moment, she shrank her body and looked at Gu Mufeng with despair on her face.
Gu Mufeng looked at her in confusion:
"What do you want from me?"
Gu Mufeng flicked his sleeves and looked at the woman in front of him with some concern. Anyone who came to him at this time must have suffered a great injustice.
"Yesterday at the Liu family, Princess Ning punished my aunt by making her kneel in the snow. Later I heard that it was because I pleaded for her that she had to kneel for two more hours.
So after I got back, she was furious and wouldn't let me go home, saying I was disobedient and unfilial. There was nothing she could do, so she asked me to come and beg the prince to stop being angry with her. As long as the prince stopped being angry, my aunt would be willing to let me go home."
Yesterday? Gu Mufeng then realized that this was the girl who had spoken to Tangning yesterday. However, he still didn't understand and asked with some confusion:
"I have already punished those who deserved it, so I will not vent my anger on the Zhang family."
After saying that, Gu Mufeng didn't plan to continue pestering her. Something was waiting for him in the military camp, and he didn't have time to deal with such trivial matters.
Seeing that Gu Mufeng wanted to leave, Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly stretched out her arms to stop him:
"Your Majesty, my aunt doesn't believe me. Please save me. If you don't save me, my aunt will beat me to death today."
Gu Mufeng felt even more confused. What did this have to do with him?
He didn't want to continue to argue, but this matter had to be dealt with, it was a matter of life and death.
If something really happened, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
"I have something urgent to do and need to hurry back to the barracks. Go back and tell your aunt that I said it's not her family's turn to make the decision in Liaocheng."
Zhang Xiaoxiao immediately knelt down with a look of gratitude on her face, and her heart was filled with joy that was difficult to conceal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
Gu Mufeng was about to walk around, but Zhang Xiaoxiao excitedly grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Your Majesty, I..."
Seeing that she was still trying to pester him, Gu Mufeng was about to get angry when he saw the woman fall down softly.
"Hey! No, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Mufeng could only squat down and check on her. Seeing that her face was pale, he looked around and there was no one else around.
He could only turn around and go back to the mansion, asking the guards to carry the person in and find a doctor to see him.
The weather is so cold, I might as well die at the door and no one will know.
After finishing all this, Gu Mufeng went to the military camp.
When Tang Ning woke up, she found that the maids at the door were looking at her with something strange in their eyes.
The maids who were originally discussing enthusiastically looked at Tang Ning timidly when they saw her coming.
The cleaning boys looked at him with strange eyes from time to time, and some even laughed.
What did she do to scare these people like this?
"what's going on?"
Tang Ning waved to the maid beside her to inquire, while she ate her breakfast in peace. No matter how big the matter was, it could not affect her.
In fact, when she woke up, she had already eaten a meal in the space.
But after washing up, she felt hungry again.
In order to prevent her from having a big belly and difficulty giving birth, both Gu Mufeng and Song Nuannuan did not allow her to eat too much.
Only give a little bit at each meal, maintain balanced nutrition, and set a certain distance to walk every day.
Tang Ning didn't want to suffer, so she had to strictly follow Song Nuannuan's instructions.
She was previously malnourished and had some anemia. After becoming pregnant, she suffered from headaches easily and felt extremely tired from time to time.
When I wasn't pregnant, I felt fine and could run and jump.
Now I can only hope to have the baby as soon as possible so that I don’t have to suffer like this.
"Princess, there are rumors out there that the prince brought a woman back to the palace, and he even brought her back in his arms. They say..."
Tangning's brows furrowed, and she decided to trust Gu Mufeng:
"What else did you say?"
The maid mustered up her courage and said:
“They also said that the princess couldn’t tolerate that woman, so she knelt in front of Prince Ning’s mansion for a whole night, and the prince only saw her when he went to the military camp in the morning.
I was so distressed that I carried him into the mansion..."
The maid's voice gradually faded away. Tang Ning sneered and clenched her chopsticks.
