Originally, he wanted to tell Su Qingcheng the news directly, but when he thought of these three men who were eyeing her covetously, he hesitated.
These three men must be dealt with first.
She can only have him by her side.
Behind him, Bei Lizhong and Nangong Xiu were sitting together, looking at Ye Tantai's back.
Bei Lizhong spoke first: "Tell me, is there really something wrong with the Dongyun family?"
"Who knows..." Nangong Xiu said meaningfully, "He always likes to do big things in silence."
"In this case, isn't it just me? No, I can't let you get there first." Bei Lizhong said.
"We were not the ones who got there first..." Nangong Xiu looked at Ye Tantai and nodded his chin slightly, signaling Bei Lizhong to call him.
Bei Lizhong shook his head helplessly and stood up.
"What is Brother Ye Sheng thinking about, so lost in thought?" Bei Lizhong patted Ye Tantai on the shoulder, pointed at the full wine table and said, "The wine has been served, today is between you and Brother Nangong, I I won’t get involved, I’ll just watch from the sidelines.”
Ye Tantai sat down. Nangong Xiu first poured a glass of wine for Ye Tantai, then poured a glass for himself, and said leisurely: "Brother Ye Sheng, how do you want to compare?"
Ye Tantai said: "It's meaningless to compete like this. Let's make a bet."
"Okay." Nangong Xiu agreed without hesitation.
"I haven't even said what the bet is, but Brother Nangong agreed so readily." Ye Tantai raised his eyebrows.
Who knows what medicine Nangong Xiu, a male fox, sells in his gourd.
"I will accompany Brother Ye Sheng in whatever bet he wants to make. It just so happens that I also have something I want from Brother Ye Sheng."
Ye Tantai said: "If you lose, then you promise me that when the princess comes back, you will automatically give up competing for the position of the people around him."
Nangong Xiu's eyes changed slightly, and there was a killing intent in that moment, which was fleeting.
He said: "This bet is a bit big, I may not be able to bet with you."
He pushed the wine in front of him forward to express his refusal.
Ye Tantai just stood still and stared at him.
Bei Lizhong's existence was just for such a scene, so he deliberately sat between the two of them.
"This bet is indeed too big. Nangong Xiu agrees even though I, the eldest brother, don't agree. This is the honor of the family. Brother Ye Sheng, please change it."
Ye Tantai said: "You can change it, then change it to... You can't get within ten steps of the princess."
Nangong Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "If you lose, then you can't be within ten steps of the princess."
"good."
Originally, Ye Tantai would never agree to this kind of bet with Su Qingcheng.
Perhaps because he was stimulated by Nangong Xiu today, Ye Tantai urgently wanted to get rid of Nangong Xiu, a dangerous person, and agreed for the first time.
After agreeing, he suddenly felt that doing so seemed a bit disrespectful to Su Qingcheng.
But things have come to this, this is the only way, he will not lose.
The two of them drank one cup after another without paying any attention to the excitement downstairs.
After three rounds of drinking, Bei Lizhong was a little too drunk, and the two were still in a stalemate.
"Brother Ye Sheng, you have a good capacity for drinking. Usually by this time, whether it's brother Beili, brother Dongyun, or brother Jingtian, they have all fallen. You are worthy of being called my opponent."
Ye Tantai's stomach felt a little burning. He tried not to show it and said stubbornly, "This wine tastes like water."
In fact, he had sealed his veins in advance, so no matter how much he drank, he would not feel anything.
But there is a time limit.
After one stick of incense, if he couldn't drink Nangong Xiu down, those feelings would come to him like a tide.
He couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to maintain his sanity at that time.
In order to prevent the worst from happening, we can only make a quick decision.
"There's no point in drinking like this. Let's decide the outcome as soon as possible," Nangong Xiu said, lifting two large jars of wine from the ground, "Whoever drinks these two large jars of wine first will win."
It's not about the amount of alcohol, it's about speed.
"Okay." Zheng agreed with Ye Tantai.
Bei Lizhong: "Okay, I won't drink anymore. I will be the referee."
Following Bei Lizhong's "start", the two of them hugged the altar and started drinking.
Nangong Xiu was fast at first, but later, maybe because he drank too much, his speed actually slowed down.
Ye Tantai drank all the big jar of wine in one go.
The time was just right and a stick of incense passed by.
He won.
Ye Tantai was already dizzy. Time had passed, and now he felt as if his body had been shot through by countless arrows, and his head seemed to have been crushed to the ground and ravaged repeatedly.
He maintained his last sanity and said: "If you lose, stay away from the princess from now on."
Ye Tantai turned around and jumped out of the window without even going up and down the stairs.
Even so, he still landed firmly on the ground.
The next moment, he collapsed.
Fu Yi simply helped him up in time: "Your Highness, why are you so drunk? If you go back at this time, the princess will be worried."
Ye Tantai said painfully: "Find a post station where I can wait for a while before going back."
At the same time, Xining Mansion.
Su Qingcheng was so frightened that she felt a cramp in her stomach as soon as she got off the carriage. She endured the pain and walked back to the yard.
When Huo Mei saw her coming back, he went to greet her but found her face was pale. His first reaction was that something had happened to the child.
"Hurry... help me in." Su Qingcheng said weakly.
Cold sweat was pouring from her forehead, Huo Mei didn't dare to delay, and quickly put Su Qingcheng on the bed, and then ordered someone to boil anti-fetal medicine.
"What's going on? Why are you here again in just a few days?" Huo Mei said.
"I met a few gangsters, maybe they were frightened." Su Qingcheng said.
"No," Huo Mei took her pulse and frowned, "If it was just a fright, it shouldn't be so serious."
After hearing Huo Mei's words, Su Qingcheng was afraid and said, "But I didn't bleed this time, should I be fine?"
Huo Mei looked solemn and said, "Did you eat something that caused the fetus to stop?"
Fetal arrest...
Su Qingcheng's heart suddenly contracted. She felt her pulse tremblingly, but she found that the child was not there.
"How could this happen? I only had breakfast. It was fine if I had breakfast in my house. How could he have a miscarriage!" Su Qingcheng collapsed.
"Princess, please think about it carefully." Huo Mei said distressedly.
Su Qingcheng's mind was in confusion, and she said, "Where is Ye Tantai?"
"The prince has not come back yet."
Ye Tantai hasn't come back yet, but the situation is serious now.
There are only two ways to deal with fetal arrest. One is not to give up and continue to take the miscarriage medicine to see if it can be saved. The other is to give up directly...
"Princess, my suggestion is to just slide off." Huo Mei said firmly.
Even if this child is born, I am afraid that he will have physical defects. This is too cruel to both the child and Su Qingcheng as the mother.
