Ye Zeyu's unconditional love and protection for her made Su Muxi's nose tingle, and she said with a sob, "Ye Zeyu, shouldn't you have scolded me and not let me go to Jinzhou!"

Why are you spoiling me like this? It makes me feel like I'm letting you down, and letting the children down.

Ye Zeyu leaned down and gently kissed away the tears that had just flowed from Su Muxi's eyes.

She said softly, "Xi'er, don't cry. I told you, you can be willful. Do whatever you want. No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you."

As he spoke, he sat on the bed with Su Muxi in his arms, looking at her with tender eyes, and continued, "I know you've been worried about your father-in-law, and now that he's gone to Fukang County, you must be worried. So if you want to go, then go."

In fact, Ye Zeyu did not want Su Muxi to leave Yong'an Prince's Mansion, but if Su Muxi wanted to go, he would not stop her.

Because he couldn't bear to see Su Muxi leave any regrets or remorse.

Moreover, if he cannot satisfy his woman and only gives Xi'er the title of Princess Consort of Yong'an, then wouldn't he be no different from Qiao Zimo?

What his Xi'er wanted was never status or position!

Su Muxi buried her face in Ye Zeyu's neck and shoulder and cried for a long time. Listening to Ye Zeyu's comforting and caring words, and feeling Ye Zeyu's large hands stroking her back, Su Muxi not only did not stop crying, but cried even harder.

Su Muxi stopped sobbing only when her cries attracted Bai Zhi.

He then said to Bai Zhi outside the door, "I'm fine. Go and have someone prepare some hot water. The prince smells terrible."

Upon hearing Su Muxi's words, Bai Zhi, who was initially filled with worry, almost burst out laughing.

He hurriedly said yes and rushed off to have someone boil water.

Ye Zeyu, who was holding Su Muxi, suddenly felt a little lost.

I don't know whether I should continue holding Su Muxi.

After all, he already smelled bad...

Xi'er is also a clean person...

Su Muxi looked at Ye Zeyu, who had a conflicted expression, and burst out laughing.

That smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and coupled with the tears that Su Muxi hadn't yet wiped from her face, it was truly mesmerizing and captivating.

Ye Ziyu was stunned.

Seeing this, Su Muxi reached out and put her arms around Ye Zeyu's neck, deliberately whispering in his ear, "How about I serve Your Highness during your bath?"

The words carried a clear implication, causing Ye Ziyu to swallow hard several times.

"...Let's not."

Ye Zeyu's voice was hoarse, filled with restraint and patience.

Seeing this, Su Muxi smiled but remained silent.

However, once the hot water arrived and Ye Zeyu had soaked in the bathtub, Su Muxi made another move.

Su Muxi gracefully stepped over the screen and walked up to Ye Zeyu.

She slowly removed her clothes, revealing her snow-white shoulders and arms, as well as a bright red bodice that evoked all sorts of fantasies.

"Your Highness, let me rub your back."

Her charming voice made Ye Zeyu's eyes darken even more.

As she spoke, Su Muxi reached for a towel in the bathtub to wipe Ye Zeyu's back.

Before her hands could even touch the water, Ye Zeyu grabbed her wrist.

"Xi'er, you know this is torture for me."

Ye Zeyu's voice was hoarse. Looking at Su Muxi in front of him, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and the veins on his neck bulged out. It was clear that he was trying his best to endure.

Su Muxi blushed and, suppressing her embarrassment, whispered, "I couldn't bear to see you suffer, so I came to help you... Although the baby is not yet three months along, it's very stable. As long as the movements aren't too big, there won't be any problems."

Seeing the hesitation in Ye Zeyu's eyes, Su Muxi murmured, "Do you really think I would joke about a child?"

One sentence instantly ignited Ye Zeyu's burning desire, but Ye Zeyu did not act immediately. Instead, with red eyes, he said to Su Muxi in a hoarse voice, "Xi'er, wait for me a while, wait until I'm done washing. I don't want to get you wet."

One reason was that he was worried Su Muxi would catch a cold, and another was that he was afraid Su Muxi would find him dirty.

In short, since it's possible tonight, he won't rush it!

Although Su Muxi hadn't spent much time with Ye Zeyu, she clearly understood what he was thinking.

I felt shy and touched, but also a little amused.

Although Ye Zeyu smelled slightly sweaty, she didn't seem to mind. She had only said those things to Bai Zhi in a moment of panic, but she hadn't expected Ye Zeyu to care so much.

In less than half an incense stick's time, Ye Zeyu stepped out of the bathtub.

He simply wrapped a handkerchief around his waist, revealing his strong physique.

His handsome face, which resembled that of a god, was now filled with excitement mixed with restraint.

His phoenix eyes were fixed on Su Muxi, who was lying on her side on the bed, and he said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, I've washed myself clean... Is it really okay?"

Su Muxi smiled charmingly and said deliberately, "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu strode onto the bed.

With his arms braced on either side of Su Muxi, he looked down at her beneath him and said, "How could I not want to?! Xi'er, I'm thinking about it so much!"

Su Muxi reached out and hooked her arm around Ye Zeyu's neck, leaning in to kiss his lips.

Me too~~

Since learning about her pregnancy, Ye Zeyu has been restraining himself.

Seeing that the two were about to part ways, Su Muxi couldn't bear to see Ye Zeyu continue to wrong himself, so she took the initiative.

Of course, she really missed Ye Zeyu too…

After a night of passionate lovemaking, Ye Zeyu was careful in every movement, but even so, he was very satisfied.

Ye Zeyu kissed Su Muxi's forehead, glanced at the sky outside, and said softly, "Xi'er, sleep a little longer. I'll go to the palace first."

He needed a legitimate reason to return from the Tiger-Riding Camp without permission, so he planned to attend today's morning court session.

After Su Muxi became pregnant, in addition to becoming more prone to crying, she also became more prone to sleeping.

After tossing and turning all night, she was exhausted. She snuggled into Ye Zeyu's arms like a kitten, hummed softly, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Zeyu smiled at Su Muxi with eyes full of affection, and gently got out of bed.

Looking at Su Muxi's charming face, he secretly made up his mind.

Father is getting old now, so it's best for him to avoid women.

He asked for some of the medicine that Xi'er gave to Murong Tianxia last time.

Although his good father couldn't bear to see him doing well, as a son, he still had to think of his father's best interests.

Of course, by doing this, he also thwarted the ambitions of Northern Yan, lest Murong Qing become pregnant with the imperial heir and disrupt the stability of Qi.
