Just as he was thinking, Dongfang Ye approached and he saw An Qingran as he turned around. Her beauty was unmatched. She was indeed the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and the only woman who had plotted against him but he could not fight back.

It’s not that they can’t fight back, but they simply don’t know how to fight back. Their only one chance was ruined by Dongfang Run.

At this time, he had already approached, looking at An Qingran straight and rudely, looking like a lecher who met a beautiful woman. An Qingran frowned slightly, facing his burning gaze, she did not avoid him, but looked at him calmly with a slight upturned corner of her mouth. She didn't believe that he would dare to do anything in the palace, in front of everyone.

Dongfang Ye felt even more itchy when he saw her calm and disdainful eyes. He gritted his teeth secretly, wishing he could flatten the woman in front of him, ravage her severely, and then kill her to relieve the hatred in his heart. He didn't understand why his hatred was so strong. According to his usual nature, he would just kill her for pleasure. But now, if he didn't torture her to death, any other death would not be satisfying enough for him.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face grew wider and wider: "I have met the Imperial Sister-in-law. I haven't seen her for a few months. She has become even more beautiful."

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but Prince Kang is still as charming as ever. He must be very proud of himself." An Qingran looked calm, even she was surprised at how she could be so calm.

That is probably the broad mind of a winner.

She is indeed a winner.

In this life, she lived a wonderful and happy life.

On the other hand, he is destined to be a loser.

"I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant, so I congratulate her. Are you satisfied with the gifts sent by Prince Kang's Mansion two days ago? If there is anything you want or want to eat, just let me know. I will do my best to meet your wishes."

"Thank you. I will tell the Crown Prince about everything I need. But Prince Kang, you should take care of yourself. I heard that Prince Kang is in a good mood recently and there are many happy events in your family. You should be more careful and cautious when you are in the prime of your life, right?" An Qingran said calmly, hinting at something.

Dongfang Ye smiled when he heard this: "The Queen's sister-in-law really cares about me. I didn't know that the Queen's sister-in-law cared about me so much before. I am so moved that I am about to cry..."

Dongfang Ye's eyes lit up as he looked at the woman in front of him. For a moment he couldn't tell whether her words were true or false. He was just happy and took another step forward.

An Qingran looked at his complacent face and wanted to slap him, but she knew she couldn't. Because she couldn't, the anger in her heart grew hotter and hotter. This early spring weather seemed like early summer to her.

"Prince Kang, is there something wrong?" An Qingran was obviously unwilling to talk anymore.

Dongfang Ye was still not satisfied: "Imperial sister-in-law, I'm fine. Chatting with you is the happiest thing. After you got pregnant, I was deeply concerned about your health, but I couldn't go to the inner palace, so I had to worry about you. Now I finally see you, I'm really happy..."

Seeing that he was being unreasonable, An Qingran knew that if she continued to speak to him calmly, he would probably get angry, so her face became stern: "King Kang, please..."

Dongfang Ye saw that her face had become stern, but that stern face, almond-shaped eyes and cheeks were still breathtakingly beautiful. He couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, but smiled: "Take care, sister-in-law. It's just that the weather is cold and the roads are slippery. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful when you go out. Otherwise, I will escort you back?"

An Qingran wanted to say yes, and all kinds of ways to frame him came to her mind all at once. He was in her hands now, and if she was polite to him again, she would be letting herself down. But suddenly her stomach growled. Could it be the legendary fetal movement?

In her previous life, her child died too early, so she didn't have that experience. This time, she was completely shocked. She didn't care about Dongfang Ye and just pulled Rendong's hand: "Let's go back, the baby is moving..."

Turn around and walk away.

Ren Dong told her to slow down. She looked excited and said, "Tell the prince..."

She thought that the prince should not be able to feel the bubbling sound of the fish, and that she was too impatient. However, the feeling of excitement continued, and she completely forgot about Dongfang Ye. All the frame-ups and plans were interrupted by the child.

Dongfang Ye stood like a wooden man, staring blankly at An Qingran's figure as she walked away. The expression on his face changed several times in an instant. Finally, he gritted his teeth, fire in his eyes. Her happiness was the biggest irony and blow to him.

The expression on her face was something he had never seen on any of his women's faces. Didn't they love him? Were they all unhappy?

No, An Yanran had looked at him with gentle eyes before. Thinking of An Yanran, his heart suddenly ached. That silly woman, did she really like him?

Is it true and sincere, not for his own throne? Nor for revenge against An Qingran?

He didn't want to think about it anymore, felt lost for a moment, and walked towards the Jiaoxiang Palace.

It wasn't until he saw Murong Shu that he perked up.

But Murong Shu still saw through it: "Ye'er, what's wrong? Who offended you?"

Dongfang Ye shook his head: "No one provokes me, so it's good that I don't provoke others."

"Is Lin'er sick again?"

"No, Lin'er has been much better recently and doesn't cry so much." Dongfang Ye sat there in a daze.

"Who did you meet just now?"

"Well, I met the Crown Princess."

"Why, did she embarrass you?"

"No, mother, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better. That woman is fine with her pregnancy. There's no reason for me to be in worse shape than her. Oh, that woman didn't make things difficult for you, did she? She's a vixen, very cunning. She hid her pregnancy for four months. Who else in the palace could do that? I'm afraid it was only her. And she got pregnant when the prince was away. Why is she so proud..."

"Mother, what do you mean..."

"I just said it casually. I didn't mean anything. I don't think she would have anything to do with others. She doesn't even leave the palace all day long. But she is also pregnant. Your concubine is also pregnant. The treatment is very different. The emperor is also partial. When An Yanran was pregnant with the eldest grandson, he didn't reward her with anything. Now you don't know that the emperor has assigned more than a dozen people from the imperial kitchen to serve her. Even the queen doesn't have treatment... Forget it, why am I telling you all this? What affairs has your father given you recently?"

"Two days ago, my father asked me to supervise two corruption cases."

"Then you must behave well and make your father happy."

"No matter how happy I am, the Crown Prince has made great contributions in the war. Even if I handle a hundred cases, they cannot compare to this one..." He smiled bitterly, then cheered up, "However, we are living a comfortable life now. If mother is healthy, I will have nothing to worry about."

"Yes, mother has no desire to fight for anything now. As long as we are safe, that is more important than anything else."

Murong Shu's illness made her figure out a lot of things. She felt that if she had not fought for power and had not gone to the imperial study to see the emperor, she would not have caught a cold. Perhaps this was God's warning to her.

Thinking this way, everything is let go.

No more worries.

However, Dongfang Ye didn't let it go.

Especially after seeing An Qingran's performance today, he felt that he would not be able to sleep or eat well unless he tore the happiness on her face apart.

*****

East Palace.

An Qingran couldn't feel anything again, and didn't know if it was fetal movement.

Before, she only felt her stomach, but now she remembered what happened to Dongfang Ye. Obviously, he would not give up. Thinking of his appearance just now, she couldn't help feeling nauseous.

It seems that it is really difficult for her to forgive him in this life.

Outside Prince Shou’s Palace.

Facing it was a bustling street with people coming and going, restaurants, silver shops, peddlers and hawkers. It was very lively during the day, but the area in front of the Shouwang Mansion was quiet and no one dared to approach.

The two majestic stone lions squatted there quietly, glaring. Not far away, there was a two-story restaurant. The window on the second floor was open and a beautiful princess in blue was standing by the window, looking at the Shouwang Mansion with a sad expression. In such weather, opening the window would naturally attract resentment from other people, but the young man did not care. It was not until the owner of the restaurant came forward to say something nice that he threw out an ingot of gold and booked the second floor. Holding a wine glass in his hand, he drank and looked. In the Shouwang Mansion, there were hundreds of old plum trees in bloom. From here, they bloomed like smoke and fog, like pink clouds. There were also pavilions and halls, but there were three courtyards. No matter how far he looked, his sight was blocked by the high buildings in the second courtyard. He could not see anything further in.

He didn't know where Dongfang Ruoxue lived, but he heard that she was sick. He reached out and stroked the sandalwood box beside him. The hollow peony flower on it was dignified and luxurious, just like her appearance.

Lian Muhan sighed, wondering why he hadn’t worked harder before and why he had only discovered his heart now?

He finally finished the wine in the glass, got up and went downstairs. Instead of going straight to the front door, he went around to the back door, handed the things to the gatekeeper, and turned and left.

In fact, Dongfang Ruoxue's health has almost recovered. She is unwilling to leave the house, and Prince Shou also intends to spread the news of her illness. If the emperor hears about it, I wonder if he will soften his heart and change his mind.

Prince Shou thought about it for a long time, but ultimately did not go to ask Emperor Yunqi for help.

He felt that now was not the right time.

After Dongfang Ruoxue received the small wooden box, she didn't understand who gave it to her.

The doorman didn't ask, but after he described it to her, her heart began to beat wildly. Originally, men and women were not allowed to have private contact with each other, but the situation now was very special, so she turned a blind eye.

Princess Shou didn't want to see what that thing was, so she hid away first. Now she hoped that someone could stand up and make this matter turn around.
