Xiao Yueze looked at her coldly, "If it weren't for the princess, I would never come here to see you."
He was a little surprised when he received Ning Yanran's message. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he heard that what she was going to say was related to Shen Luoxi, he naturally couldn't ignore it.
"Don't be so serious. I came to you just to cooperate with you." Ning Yanran smiled, "Then we all get what we need, why not?"
"You have been talking for a long time and still haven't said why you are looking for me. If the concubine is here to ask me to guess a riddle, I will not waste time with the concubine."
Xiao Yueze turned to leave, but Ning Yanran hurriedly stopped him, "I want to take the prince back, what's wrong with that?"
"If it weren't for you, the only person who can help me now is you, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Yueze looked at him coldly, "Why should I help you? So this is what you said about the princess?"
He shouldn't believe Ning Yanran's words and waste his time.
"Don't you, Mr. Xiao, like your sister? If the prince is always by my side, firstly, I won't have to endure the pain of lovesickness, and secondly, you can have your sister all to yourself. Wouldn't this be good for you and me?"
Xiao Yueze's face was hidden in the moonlight, so Ning Yanran couldn't see his expression clearly, but even if she couldn't see it, she could guess that it was definitely his look that wanted to skin her alive again.
She looked at Xiao Yueze with interest, "Mr. Xiao, what are your thoughts? We..."
Before she could finish her words, the gleaming sword was pressed against her neck.
Ning Yanran's face was pale and she didn't dare to say a word. She tried hard to keep her body from shaking. If she was not careful, she would die here tonight!
"Master Xiao...if you have something to say, please tell me..."
"What do I have to talk about with the concubine?" Xiao Yueze asked, "The concubine was slapped a while ago, and she forgot about it only a few days later? It seems that the concubine wants my help in recalling it."
As he finished speaking, the sword in his hand was close to Ning Yanran's neck.
The pain from being slapped in the mouth a few days ago was combined with the fear at this time, and tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes to her chin.
"Don't... I don't want to die... What I said just now, Mr. Xiao must be my nightmare..."
Xiao Yueze did not relax after hearing this. His face appeared in the moonlight, gloomy and bloodthirsty.
"Since the concubine has said so, I will naturally not take action again. It's just that the words "misfortune comes from the mouth" must always be remembered by the concubine."
After that, he turned and left.
When Xiao Yueze returned to the room calmly, he felt his heart beating rapidly.
He held the clothes on his chest tightly. He naturally had bad thoughts about Shen Luoxi, but as long as no one pointed out, he could continue to deceive himself and others like this.
He lied to himself that he didn't want to do anything, just staying with Shen Luoxi was enough.
But the longer he stayed with Shen Luoxi, the fantasies he shouldn't have would always appear in his mind uncontrollably.
Xiao Yueze laughed at himself. As long as it was not Shen Luoxi who pointed out this point, he could still stand by Shen Luoxi's side as usual.
…
The next day, Shen Luoxi went into the palace to take Concubine Wen's pulse. Seeing that her face was rosy and plump, Shen Luoxi chuckled and said, "The dragon seed in Concubine Wen's belly is already more than three months old."
Concubine Wen touched her increasingly rounded belly and said warmly: "Yes, for the sake of the little one in my belly, I have eaten a lot more these days. The new clothes I had cut two days ago feel a little tight today."
"This is natural." Shen Luoxi smiled and said: "Concubine Wen's fetal image is now stable. It is good to eat more, but we must not eat without restraint."
Concubine Wen nodded, "I remember what you and the imperial doctor told me. Chen Ru has given me instructions three or four times a day in the past two months."
She complained softly, but her eyes were full of tenderness.
"Now that the fetus is stable, I can finally feel at ease."
Shenluoxi was noncommittal.
She prescribed new medicine for Concubine Wen, and while she was writing with her head down, the eunuch outside shouted: "The Emperor is here!"
Shen Luoxi stopped temporarily and stood up to salute, "See you, Your Majesty."
The emperor spared her courtesy and strode up to Concubine Wen and raised his hand to caress her swollen belly, "Although the imperial doctor tells me every day that Concubine Wen is fine, I still want to hear what Princess Xuan said. "
Shen Luoxi answered seriously, "The fetus of Concubine Wen is three months old. As long as she is not frightened or bumped, she will be safe and smooth."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I will hold a banquet to share the happy event with everyone. When Concubine Wen successfully gives birth to a dragon descendant in the future, I will be rewarded heavily!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Luoxi left the prescription and left wisely. After returning to the palace, she met Ning Yanran who was crying at the door and holding Cang Yunxuan's sleeve without letting go.
She chose and ignored it, but as soon as she walked in, Cang Yunxuan called her.
"The next time you go to the palace to see your mother and concubine, I will accompany you."
"No need, the time when I enter the palace is also the time when the prince enters the palace, and it will be the same when the prince goes to see Concubine Wen."
Shen Luoxi answered quickly and strode into the palace at the same time. She didn't want to get involved in the matter between the two of them, but someone wanted her to fail.
"Please, sister, beg the prince for my sister. Sister, sister just wants to beg the prince for mercy. Please help my sister..."
Ning Yanran blocked Shen Luoxi's path, holding on to Cang Yunxuan's sleeve with no intention of letting go.
Xiao Yueze immediately stood in front of Shen Luoxi, looked at Ning Yanran with a cold expression, and calmly revealed the blade of the sword that shone with cold light.
As soon as Ning Yanran saw it, she remembered what happened last night. She was so frightened that she hurriedly walked towards Cang Yunxuan, hoping to get his love.
But Cang Yunxuan did not comfort her as she wanted. Instead, he pulled back his sleeves indifferently and said, "I still have something to do. You go back to the yard and wait. I will naturally come to find you when I have time."
After that, he glanced at Shen Luoxi and Xiao Yueze before turning and leaving.
"Your Majesty!"
Ning Yanran's shouting could not get Cang Yunxuan to look back. She bit her lower lip and dug her nails deeply into her palms.
It's all Shen Luoxi's fault that Cang Yunxuan would treat her like this!
She must make Shenluo Xi beyond redemption!
Just need to wait a little longer...
…
At the palace banquet two days later, the emperor accepted the congratulations from everyone with a glowing face. Concubine Wen beside him rarely heard such kind words.
She sat next to the emperor with a blushing face, and gently served the emperor with dishes and wine.
The queen also sat next to the emperor, but Concubine Wen stole all the limelight, but she still maintained a generous and decent smile on her face.
"You don't have to be restrained today to add joy to Concubine Wen," the emperor said.
"Concubine Wen has won everyone's joy today, and she will definitely give birth to a well-behaved and sensible prince in the future." The Queen agreed.
The emperor smiled and said, "Whether you are a prince or a princess, I like them all."
At this time, the palace maid brought the anti-fetal medicine and placed it in front of Concubine Wen, "Concubine Wen, it's time to drink the medicine."
The queen glanced at the bowl of medicine calmly, a coldness flashing in her eyes.
