If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 493 Brother Chao is about to grow teeth

Shen Suian walked back and forth in the room holding Chao Ge'er in his arms. When his hands felt sore, he put Chao Ge'er down and let him turn over and play on the kang.

She looked out the window from time to time.

Today is the day Fu Jinyuan returns to the capital. She knows that he will set a trap to have Prince Heng kill him personally. Although she believes that he will be absolutely sure of success, she just can't feel at ease.

She could only breathe a sigh of relief when she saw him return safely.

"Princess! I saw the prince entering the city." The voice came in before anyone saw Fuqiu.

Shen Sui'an stood up excitedly and looked at Fuqiu who ran in, "Really?"

"Really, really, the emperor and the queen mother are back." Fuqiu grinned, "Prince Heng has been captured."

The big stone that was hanging in Shen Sui'an's heart was finally put down.

"Your Highness succeeded." He successfully made Prince Heng plead guilty and also captured him.

"Hurry, ask the kitchen to prepare the prince's favorite dishes. The national mourning is over, so prepare more meat." Shen Sui'an raised the corners of his mouth high, wishing he could see Fu Jinyuan immediately.

Fu Jinyuan, who accompanied the emperor and the empress dowager into the palace, was also thinking about returning to the palace as soon as possible.

However, he still had to go to the palace to report on the matters of Hexi and Hengwang, and hand over all the evidence to Fu Jinyi for review.

As for Prince Heng, he has been handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for investigation.

Fu Jinyuan explained everything that had happened in Hexi, including the moldy rice in the granary. Everyone was terrified and could not help but admire the regent's luck.

If my luck was a little worse, I would not have come back alive.

After explaining everything clearly, Fu Jinyi asked all the ministers to leave.

Only the brothers Fu Jinyi and Fu Jinyuan were left in the hall.

Fu Jinyi burst into tears and hugged Fu Jinyuan's shoulders, shouting, "Brother, you scared me to death. I heard that you were sick, and I thought..."

"Your Majesty, please don't wipe your snot on me." Fu Jinyuan said softly, with a hint of smile in his voice.

"How can you still laugh? You scared your sister-in-law." Fu Jinyi accused.

Fu Jinyuan said, "I had a fever and was unconscious for three days. I didn't expect the emperor's secret guards would send the news back so quickly. If he had waited a few more days, he would have known that I was fine."

"How come you're okay? You've lost a lot of weight." Fu Jinyi said.

"If the emperor really cares about me as his brother, then let me go to Suzhou." Fu Jinyuan whispered.

Fu Jinyi's whole body suddenly froze and he violently pushed Fu Jinyuan away.

"You are too tired, go back home and rest first." Fu Jinyi didn't want to turn his head and just pretended that he had not heard these words.

Fu Jinyuan knew that it would be impossible to get Fu Jinyi to agree in a short time, so he just smiled and said, "Then I will leave the palace."

"Wait a moment." Fu Jinyi frowned and stopped him, "I know you are in a hurry to see my sister-in-law, but if you go back like this, she will be scared." Fu Jinyi said with a smile.

Fu Jinyuan then discovered that his robe was stained with blood.

"Then I'll go change my clothes first."

"Everything has been prepared for my brother in the side hall. Changfu, go and help the regent change his clothes."

Fu Jinyuan came to the side hall and saw a brand new brocade robe prepared on the table. He strode over and picked it up.

"Your Highness, let me change your clothes for you." A soft voice sounded.

Fu Jinyuan frowned and turned around, seeing a young palace maid standing outside the hall. He looked at Changfu indifferently.

Changfu glared at the palace maid fiercely. This was a palace maid who had just been promoted from somewhere else. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a fresh and pretty face. She was a beautiful woman. Originally thought to be an honest and decent woman, but she showed up today unexpectedly.

Could it be that she is so honest and obedient to the Emperor, but secretly has a crush on the Regent?

"Get out of here, you have nothing to do here!" Changfu scolded coldly.

The little palace maid's eyes were like those of a frightened little white rabbit, and she looked at Fu Jinyuan in trembling fear.

Fu Jinyuan had already turned and gone behind the screen.

"Eunuch Changfu, the prince didn't refuse me. Don't you see that there is blood on his body? It must be inconvenient for him to change his clothes. It would be better to let me go in and serve him." The little palace maid smiled coquettishly.

"Hehe, I'm here to help the prince change his clothes, why do you have to act on your own here?" Changfu glared at her.

The little palace maid bit her lip. If she missed today, she would have no chance to show her face in front of the Regent.

"The prince didn't drive me away." She boldly walked past Changfu and went behind the screen.

Just as her soft and boneless little hand was about to touch Fu Jinyuan's back, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen. She had been kicked out.

"roll!"

Changfu secretly called the little palace maid a fool.

"Your Highness, it was my fault that I failed to stop her." Changfu hurried forward to apologize.

He felt a little regretful. He should have dragged the little palace maid away and beaten her to death after hearing her say that the prince did not refuse.

The little palace maid spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Fu Jinyuan in horror.

Changfu didn't dare let the little palace maid say anything treasonous again, so he quickly dragged her away.

Fu Jinyuan changed his clothes by himself and looked at Changfu with a sharp and cold gaze.

"Has any maid offended the emperor?"

This is the Qianqing Palace, where the Emperor holds meetings. How dare the little palace maid who serves the Emperor dare to seduce him, the Regent.

He didn't believe at all that there was no one behind this.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has never liked to have palace maids serving him. The one just now was recently selected from somewhere else to serve tea. I didn't expect that she had such thoughts." Changfu explained hurriedly.

Fu Jinyuan nodded, "Then let someone check the background of this palace maid, don't let her be placed next to the emperor without first checking the background of this palace maid."

Changfu responded quickly.

"Send that little palace maid to Kunning Palace and let the Empress Dowager deal with her." Fu Jinyuan ordered calmly.

After saying this, he strode out of the side hall and returned to the Regent's Palace without any hesitation.

What greeted him was Chao Ge'er's loud cry.

Shen Suian didn't even have time to come out to greet him, as he was coaxing his son in the house.

"What's wrong?" Fu Jinyuan strode in.

"Husband!" Tears welled up in Shen Suian's eyes when she saw him. She looked him up and down. Apart from being a little darker and thinner, he didn't look abnormal at all.

She cried and laughed, "You're back."

Fu Jinyuan went forward and hugged her, "You're back, what happened to Chao Ge'er?"

"I'm teething and have a little fever and feel uncomfortable. The imperial physician prescribed some medicine and I just drank it." Shen Sui'an said hurriedly.

He was fine in the morning, but started to have a fever when he woke up in the afternoon. The imperial physician examined him and said that Chao Ge'er was about to grow teeth.

"Teeth are growing so soon?" Fu Jinyuan was surprised.

"It's around this month." Shen Suian handed Chao Ge'er to him.

Chao Ge'er's loud crying stopped for a moment when he saw Fu Jinyuan, then his little mouth pursed and he started crying again.

The couple had no time to express their longing for their son and spent the whole night coaxing him.
