Lu Qingtang was shivering from the cold outside the door. She kept rubbing her arms with her hands.
Suddenly seeing the door open, he immediately smiled.
Finally she no longer had to suffer from the cold.
Dong Chengbin immediately turned pale and subconsciously hid Ning Xinran, who screamed in fright, behind him.
He stared at Lu Qingtang blankly, his knees softened immediately, and he knelt on the ground, pleading: "Princess Chen, it was all my fault in the past. I should not have framed you and Prince Chen. If you want to hate, just hate me. I'll kill you or behead you, please let Ning Xinran go..."
His throat went down and he swallowed, "She spoiled my child. You also have a child. Please let her go for the sake of being a woman. I will kowtow to you..."
While talking, Dong Chengbin kowtowed to Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes and looked at Ning Xinran, who was trembling behind her. She was too scared, but she still protected her belly with her hands out of instinct.
She looked at her belly and waved her hand, "Yu Bai, take this person away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Chengbin immediately stood up to stop him. The guard behind Yu Bai held him down. Yu Bai stepped forward and called the other two guards to "please" Ning Xinran leave.
Lu Qingtang folded her arms, shivering from the cold. She leaned on the railing of the corridor and looked at Dong Chengbin, "You guys are so insecure. You talked for a long time and made me freeze like this. Go back to the house and rest, I'm leaving too." , Don’t worry, I won’t hurt your woman.”
After saying that, she wrapped herself in thin clothes and turned around to leave.
Dong Chengbin was pushed into the room by several guards, and the door was locked from the outside.
After escorting Ning Xinran, Lu Qingtang returned to the room. She yawned, pointed to a chair and said to her: "Sit down, I'm pregnant."
Ning Xinran shook her head desperately and shivered in the corner.
Lu Qingtang shook his head helplessly, "If you want to stand, then you can stand."
She turned to look outside and muttered, "Su Mu, why don't you come? Is it so difficult to cook noodles?"
In the small kitchen, Su Mu yawned and kneaded the dough with a sad face.
Tears fell from her eyes and she said aggrievedly: "What kind of noodles are you eating in the middle of the night? It's really annoying. I still have to eat two bowls."
While feeling aggrieved, he kneaded, rolled and cut the noodles.
Heat oil in a pan, fry six eggs, add hot water and cook a few green vegetables together. After boiling, season with salt and pepper.
She complained while serving it, "You eat it and I eat it too, and I want to eat two eggs too!"
Carrying three bowls of noodles, Su Mu came to the room. As soon as he placed the three bowls of noodles, he turned around and saw Ning Xinran in the corner. She was so frightened that she screamed uncontrollably.
Lu Qingtang had quick eyes and quick hands and covered her mouth when she just screamed.
She glared at Su Mu and said, "What are you shouting? Don't wake up the children."
Su Mu curled his lips and kept hiding back.
Lu Qingtang picked up one of the bowls of noodles and brought it to Ning Xinran's side. "The snacks are cold. Let's have something warm."
Ning Xinran raised her head and looked at her with surprise in her eyes.
Lu Qingtang smiled and said, "I asked Zeng Ke to lie to you. Don't blame him. He doesn't even have the face to see you."
After saying that, she returned to her seat and started eating noodles.
Su Mu didn't dare to stay in the same room as Ning Xinran, so he ran away with the bowl in hand.
Lu Qingtang was the only one left in the room, and Ning Xinran in the corner became hungrier and hungrier as she heard the sound of her slurping her noodles. She couldn't help but pick up a bowl and start eating.
After eating the noodles, Ning Xinran went back to her original room and fell asleep.
There was no talking all night. After breakfast the next morning, Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen came to Dong Chengbin's room.
Dong Chengbin didn't sleep all night last night. He was so anxious that his eyes were red. He rushed out as soon as the door opened, but was pushed in by Yu Bai. Coupled with the fact that he ate too little, he had no strength and fell down when pushed.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help but sneer, "Prince-in-law Dong is really delicate and soft and easy to push down."
Dong Chengbin, who fell to the ground, stood up with a dark green face and scarlet eyes, and immediately rushed towards Lu Qingtang, but was pushed away by Mo Zeshen.
Mo Zeshen said with a cold face, "What kind of virtue does a court official have?"
Dong Chengbin fell to the ground again, smiled bitterly, and then cried again.
Yu Bai brought two chairs, and Lu Qingtang and Mo Zeshen both sat down, both watching Dong Chengbin cry.
After a long while, Dong Chengbin stopped crying and looked up at the couple.
He asked: "Where's Ning Xinran, what did you do to her?"
Lu Qingtang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've had enough to eat and drink, and now I'm basking in the sun in the courtyard."
Mo Zeshen echoed from the side, "Don't worry about Ning Xinran. Worry about yourself first. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Dong Chengbin laughed again, very sadly.
After laughing, he begged: "Can I let Ning Xinran go? Let Ning Xinran go, and you can torture me however you want."
Lu Qingtang couldn't help but let out a "tsk, tsk" sound, stretched out his hand and touched Mo Zeshen with his elbow, "Look at how good he is to his wife, and then look at you."
Mo Zeshen looked confused, "How am I doing? Am I not treating you well?"
He snorted and continued to look at Dong Chengbin, "What are you talking about, Dong Chengbin? Is this king so scary? Opening and shutting up is torture, making me look like the King of Hell. Let Ning Xinran go." , I am not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
Dong Chengbin smiled bitterly, "What are the conditions?"
Mo Zeshen said with a smile on his face, "Consort Dong is a smart man, so let me tell you straight. I want Consort Dong to do me a favor and help me keep the Zhennan Palace."
Dong Chengbin looked disdainful, but he did not agree, but asked: "Where is Ning Xinran? I want to see her."
Lu Qingtang rolled his eyes, "You can't see her, but I can let you see your child right away."
"you!"
Dong Chengbin's eyes immediately turned red.
Lu Qingtang crossed his arms, "So you have to think carefully before answering. I'll give you some time. I'll see you again in the afternoon."
With that said, he reached out and patted Mo Zeshen on the shoulder, "Let's go and let him think about it."
Mo Zeshen stood up and left the room with Lu Qingtang.
The door was locked again, leaving Dong Chengbin with a worried look on his face.
Back in the courtyard, Lu Qingtang walked to Ning Xinran and reached out to take her pulse.
Ning Xinran was obviously a little afraid of Lu Qingtang, and her eyes kept evading.
After checking his pulse, Lu Qingtang looked disdainful, "Are you afraid of me, or do you feel guilty?"
Ning Xinran nodded first, then shook his head, and then nodded again, leaving Lu Qingtang stunned.
She asked: "Are you guilty or scared?"
Ning Xinran whispered: "There are some."
She paused and then continued: "When I was in Yanling, I thought I was high-spirited and only had my cousin in my heart... No, King Chen. I did many wrong things and brought myself to this state. I feel stupid. I also feel very sorry for you two. I... I will kowtow to you."
Before she could stand up, Lu Qingtang held her shoulders down.
