Zhu Wanqing hesitated for a long time at the Fourteenth Prince's door with tea in her hand. After taking a deep breath, she walked in with a solemn expression. The Fourteenth Prince went forward to greet her. Ever since Zhu Wanqing told him that she was pregnant, he had been taking great care of her.

"Leave these things to the maids. You're pregnant, so you need to be careful..." The Fourteenth Prince took the tea and snacks with concern and helped Zhu Wanqing sit down slowly.

Zhu Wanqing smiled and stroked her own body, saying, "I'm used to serving you, my lord. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it... This child is very kind to me, he doesn't move or make a fuss, I'm fine..."

The Fourteenth Prince stared at Zhu Wanqing's belly with a smile and sighed, "I never imagined that I would have a child at this time..."

Zhu Wanqing abruptly changed the subject, her face showing difficulty as she grasped the Fourteenth Prince's hand and whispered, "Your Highness, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you..."

The Fourteenth Prince laughed and said, "What's troubling you? Speak..."

Zhu Wanqing feigned sadness, saying, "Ever since you and I came to this island, I've been secretly keeping an eye on the Prince's residence. I know you're worried about your wife and children, so I've been trying to find a way to rescue them..."

The Fourteenth Prince stopped what he was doing, stared blankly at Zhu Wanqing, and asked in surprise, "What happened to them?"

Zhu Wanqing sighed and said, "A few days ago, my people came back to report that the Fourteenth Prince's residence had been attacked..."

The Fourteenth Prince was shocked and panicked. Zhu Wanqing said sadly, "I don't know what happened at the Prince's Mansion, but I saw several coffins going out the back door. They said several masters in the manor have died..."

The Fourteenth Prince suddenly stood up, accidentally tripping over a teacup on the table. Scalding tea splashed everywhere, landing on his hand, but he seemed oblivious. Zhu Wanqing hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it, saying with concern, "Your Highness... are you alright? How could you be so careless?"

Before Zhu Wanqing could finish speaking, the Fourteenth Prince grabbed her shoulder and asked urgently, "Who's dead?"

Zhu Wanqing shook her head and sighed, "I don't know yet. I've already sent people to continue inquiring. My lord, don't worry... there will be news..."

The Fourteenth Prince was restless, while Zhu Wanqing stood silently by his side. Suddenly, the Fourteenth Prince turned around and was about to rush out when Zhu Wanqing blocked the doorway, exclaiming in surprise, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

The Fourteenth Prince impatiently snapped, "Get out of my way! I need to go back. Such a big incident has happened at the Prince's residence. I must go and see if my son and wife are alright..."

Zhu Wanqing was taken aback, a chill running down her spine. She hadn't expected that at this time, the Fourteenth Prince would still be thinking of his wife. So, with her pregnant belly, she reached out to stop him, saying, "No, it's too dangerous outside right now. The Emperor has already issued an arrest warrant. If you go out, you'll only face certain death..."

The Fourteenth Prince retreated in frustration: "Am I now relegated to hiding on this island like a coward?"

Zhu Wanqing was slightly pleased and stepped forward to comfort him, "Master, there might be news in a few days. Let's wait patiently... If something really happens, we can still leave the island then, but everything needs to be planned carefully..."

The Fourteenth Prince glanced at Zhu Wanqing with a pained expression. Zhu Wanqing touched her belly to distract the Fourteenth Prince and nodded encouragingly with a smile.
