Feeling the King of Yan's doubt, Liu Ruyue showed a hurt expression on her face, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her pair of autumn eyes were filled with unspeakable sorrow.

In just a moment, King Yan realized how hurtful his words were.

However, the next moment, when Prince Yan was about to open his mouth to explain, the woman opposite him did not embarrass him in front of so many people. She said with a slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness, I am not begging for mercy for this despicable and shameless playboy. I am praying for the blessing of our child."

With just one sentence, she immediately drew the attention of Prince Yan and the old princess: "They both gave His Majesty a sterilizing drug, and yet I'm still pregnant. It must be the Bodhisattva's blessing.

"The Bodhisattva is merciful. Therefore, I would like to ask the prince to spare these two lives for the sake of my unborn child. Let them be a couple, this star-crossed couple, and accumulate merit for my unborn child."

After saying this, Liu Ruyue looked at the Duke of Ying and his wife again. "The mistakes these two made were all due to their own greed. No one else is to blame. The Duke, at his age, is willing to bear the pain of clearing out this evildoer. He is truly upright and dignified. Your Highness, please do not vent your anger on me."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyue took small steps and walked to the side of the King of Yan, who was emitting a murderous aura. She stretched out her small hand, took the man's blood-stained hand with a look of pity, and said softly: "Your Highness, everyone knows that you have been wronged, and Yue'er also feels sorry for your reputation being ruined for the past seven years.

But, Your Majesty, Yue'er dares to ask Your Majesty to spare the lives of the two of them and pray for our child. For the rest of my life, no matter what comes and goes, Yue'er only wants to live a good life with you and the child!"

"Yue'er..."

After Liu Ruyue finished speaking, Prince Yan hadn't responded yet, but the old princess was so moved that she choked up and said, "Let's live a good life as a family."

After hearing what his mother and the woman said, Zhao Tinghao took a deep breath, gently patted Liu Ruyue with his other hand, and smiled at Jiaojiao soothingly.

"Help your queen down to rest, lest these two filthy creatures pollute her eyes!"

King Yan gave orders to Taohongliulv.

Although Liu Ruyue was sent away, Zhao Tinghao still listened to what Liu Ruyue said and gave up his intention to kill Liu Mengyao and Zhao Yihong. He ordered the servants in the mansion to drag the two out.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Prince Yan had listened to Concubine Yue's words, and was shocked by Concubine Yue's status in Prince Yan's heart.

Some people even secretly thought in their hearts: Maybe Liu Ruyue will become the next Princess of Yan.

When the Duke and Duchess of Ying saw that Prince Yan was indeed persuaded by Concubine Yue and did not vent their anger on the Duke's Mansion, they immediately expelled Zhao Yihong from the family and forbade him to take anything away except the child he had with Liu Mengyao.

Liu Mengyao's situation was not much better. Although Prince Yan did not say anything explicitly, seeing that Prince Yan tacitly agreed to Duke Yingguo's approach, Minister Liu followed suit and declared that he had severed ties with his married daughter Liu Mengyao, and that Liu Mengyao would have no relationship with the Minister's Mansion from now on.

The property that Liu Mengyao brought as a dowry to the Prince of Yan's Mansion had already been compensated to the concubines of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. As for the remaining farms and shops, Minister Liu sent a letter saying that they were compensation to the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

In addition, the Duke of Ying's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion also sent various rare treasures to compensate King Yan.

As for the treasures from these manors and shops, King Yan asked his steward to deliver all of them to Liu Ruyue.

In a short time, Liu Ruyue transformed from a little concubine in the palace to the wealthy favorite concubine of the palace.

After the emperor learned that Zhao Tinghao was infertile as a result of being drugged, he ordered all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to treat Zhao Tinghao.

The result is still that having offspring is unlikely, and everything depends on fate.

Upon learning of this result, the palace sent a large number of treasures to appease Zhao Tinghao.

Of course, these things soon fell into Liu Ruyue's hands.

After hearing the result from the imperial physician, Prince Yan was depressed for a long time and returned to the Prince Yan's Mansion with a gloomy face.

After being depressed for a few days, he stayed by Liu Ruyue's bed every night, not thinking about anything else. He hugged Liu Ruyue and massaged her shoulders and legs.

However, sometimes, he couldn't help but ask Liu Ruyue: "Yue'er, am I powerful?"

???

Every time Liu Ruyue heard Zhao Tinghao ask this question, her heart broke: Why did Liu Mengyao commit a sin and she, Liu Ruyue, had to suffer the consequences?

However, after comparing Zhao Tinghao with the men in her real world in her mind, she felt that Zhao Tinghao seemed quite powerful.

Of course, she couldn't say that directly.

Instead, every time Zhao Tinghao asked this question, she looked at him shyly, timidly huddled in the man's arms, looked up at him, put her small hands around his neck, and whispered, "Your Highness is the most powerful man in the world in my heart!"

Every time, Zhao Tinghao was amused by Jiaojiao'er's words, and he would lean over and kiss the pink cherry lips on the woman's delicate face.

His big hand clasped the back of the woman's head, his beard swept across her face, and his breath hit her face, making Liu Ruyue a little confused and dazed.

"Yue'er, am I powerful?"

With a deep voice carrying a deadly allure, Prince Yan asked while hugging the woman tightly in his arms.

"Hmm...amazing..."

Liu Ruyue murmured softly in response to the man while responding to him enthusiastically. Her small hands moved like nimble snakes over the man's body, making his hair tremble wherever she passed...

"Yue'er..."

"Yue'er..."

"Yue'er, no, no..."

"Stop, you're pregnant..."

"Yue'er, stop now..."

…

In the end, the one who begged for mercy in a low voice was Zhao Tinghao, who was the first to get angry.

After being pushed away by Zhao Tinghao, Liu Ruyue still stared at Zhao Tinghao's body greedily with a longing look, as if she wanted to eat the man.

Zhao Tinghao was so frightened that he jumped away in a hurry. He suppressed his restlessness and comforted Liu Ruyue, saying, "Yue'er, be patient. After the baby is born, we can be fine..."

The charming woman on the bed heard what Zhao Tinghao said, smiled evilly, and asked in a voice full of temptation: "Prince, what can I do?"

Her expression was clearly innocent, but her eyes were full of temptation, which made Zhao Tinghao even more agitated. He couldn't help but wail loudly: "Ahhhhhhhhh..."

At first, the people in Jianjia Garden, no, the people in Prince Yan's Mansion heard the wailing and thought that something had happened to their Prince Yan.

But now, they all understood: the prince must have been instigated by Concubine Yue again.

Oh, let’s prepare some cold water quickly so that the prince can take a shower to cool down.

When Prince Yan finished his resentful howling and fled Liu Ruyue's room, he saw the servants skillfully adding cold water to the next room...
