Hua Ling looked at his pale lips, the hole in his chest, and the bloodstains on his clothes. It looked like he wouldn't live long, so a salary increase would be useless.

She asked sympathetically, "What is your wish?"

Xiao Wu didn't say anything: "Madam, please promise me first."

Hua Ling thought, since he was going to die anyway, it didn't matter if she agreed first. If she changed her mind later, he wouldn't be able to come back to life.

"I promised you, tell me now."

Xiaowu suddenly laughed. Hua Ling was horrified and subconsciously wanted to leave, but was held down by Xiaowu. She felt a warm touch on her lips.

Hua Ling was shocked. "You...you...is this your wish?"

Xiao Wu took a bite of her rosy lips, which still tasted of his blood.

"Xiao Wu is going to die. He died to protect Madam. A boy cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb after his death. It will affect the fate of the entire family. Madam, please help me."

Hua Ling struggled: "It's wrong for us to do this. What if we get discovered..."

"No, I'm about to die." Xiao Wu's eyes dimmed, as if he was going to die in the next second: "Madam, can you bear not to grant even my last wish?"

Hua Ling looked at his clothes that were almost stained with blood, and a struggle between his conscience and his desires arose in his mind, and his expression changed several times.

That's all.

"Then, be gentle... mmm!"

The car was stolen, not even a wheel was left.

Xiaowu was physically disabled but mentally strong. Hua Ling was almost dehydrated and complained, "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Xiao Wu smiled slyly: "Maybe he drank the nectar and won't die for the time being."

Hua Ling was embarrassed, "You have no shame!"

It was several hours later when Li Yan and his men arrived.

Hua Ling was weak all over, and Xiao Wu looked extremely miserable. Li Yan put aside his doubts, and everyone returned to the palace.

The court doctor came hurriedly and said, "Congratulations, Madam. You are over a month pregnant."

After these words were spoken, Li Yan glanced sideways slightly.

Xiaowu was shocked, his eyes fell on Hua Ling's belly, and he felt guilty.

He actually deceived a pregnant woman.

Hua Ling put away her wrist in a daze: "Are you sure you are pregnant?"

"Confirmed." The court doctor said, "Madam's pulse is exactly that of a pregnant woman. There is no mistake."

The court doctor left, and Xiao Wu chased after him. "Madam, you were frightened just now, and you climbed the mountain. Are you pregnant?"

"You are a very responsible guard." The court doctor praised: "Don't worry, the fetus is not disturbed. The typhoid powder you gave her is very good, but it is best not to use it if you are pregnant."

"Okay, the exact date of pregnancy can be calculated so I can report to the prince."

Xuanyuan Mo and Fang Yunheng received the news that Hua Ling was pregnant at the same time.

Xuanyuan Mo calculated the date carefully and was overjoyed: "I was conceived in Ning Huan Palace. I am going to be a father."

The bad thing is that his wife and children were sent away, Hua Ling didn’t even recognize him, and his son was going to call Fang Yunheng dad?

Xuanyuan Mo wanted to kill Fang Yunheng just by thinking about it.

Fang Yunheng also calculated the date of Hua Ling's pregnancy and believed that it was more likely to be the royal heir, so he asked Xiao Wu to abort the baby in Hua Ling's belly while the baby was still young so that she could conceive again later.

Now is a critical period, and we must not allow the emperor to leave behind an heir.

Li Yan received the order to protect Hua Ling, while Xiao Wu received the opposite order. His hand holding the abortion pills trembled slightly.

Hua Ling was gently making small clothes for the baby in her belly: "Rest more until your injury is healed. I will make the medicine to maintain the pregnancy."

Xiao Wu asked, "Do you like the baby in your belly very much?"

"Of course." Hua Ling put down the scissors. "He is my blood-related child. How could I not like him?"

She reached out to take the medicine bowl, but Xiaowu avoided it.

"What if I tell you that the prince doesn't want this child?"

Hua Ling was stunned and laughed: "Are you kidding me again?"

Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly as he thought about what happened on the mountain. He suppressed his inner restlessness and said, "I didn't trick you this time."

"Then why do you think the prince doesn't want the child in my belly?"

Xiaowu didn't know how to explain it. The truth was too cruel and she couldn't bear it.

"That's all I can tell you." Xiao Wu placed the medicine on the table. "This is an abortion pill. I brewed it myself. You don't have to drink it, but the prince won't show mercy."

"I won't drink it. Unless Fang Yunheng tells me personally, I won't believe it." Hua Ling protected her stomach and looked at him warily, "Your Highness wouldn't be so cruel!"

Xiaowu walked out silently.

Li Yan watched from outside for a long time: "Your Majesty, do you really not want children?"

Xiao Wu stopped and said with a serious look: "You'd better prepare early."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes. He knew that he was the emperor's man, and he also knew that he had received orders to protect Hua Ling's child.

Hua Ling's frightened voice suddenly came from the inner room.

Li Yan rushed over like the wind. He did not hide his strength. His speed was half a breath faster than Xiao Wu. He grabbed Hua Ling's waist, broke open the window and flew out.

Hua Ling didn't know how the killer got in or how long he had been hiding. When the knife was coming towards her, she really thought she was going to die.

Fortunately, Li Yan was fast enough, otherwise she would have been beheaded.

The man in black chased out, and Li Yan flipped his wrist and the knife in his hand flew out.

Before the man in black could react, his head and body were separated. He couldn't even scream and fell to the ground motionless.

The visual impact was so great that Hua Ling's legs went weak.

What a coward! Li Yan reached out to her.

But Xiao Wu was faster. He took a step back while holding Hua Ling, avoiding Li Yan's touch, and asked with concern, "How are you?"

"It's okay." Hua Ling came to her senses and pushed his arms away.

Xiao Wu was disappointed: "It's my fault. I didn't notice there was someone hiding inside."
