Coincidentally, Yue Zhixiao needed to prepare for a rebellion these past few days and couldn't take care of Liu Xuening, which gave Liu Xuening a chance to recuperate.

Today is the day Liu Xuening is to return to her parents' home after her wedding. Although she has recovered a lot, you can still tell from her complexion that Liu Xuening's health is not as good as before.

"Princess Consort, I have inquired and the Prince will be here soon."

Liu Xuening trembled slightly upon hearing the news about Yue Zhixiao.

In the end, Liu Xuening was just a concubine's daughter. No matter how scheming or ruthless he was, he just hadn't used his methods on her. Once he used them on himself, he would be afraid.

"Ning'er..."

Yue Zhixiao called out from afar, and Liu Xuening's body involuntarily trembled.

Yue Zhixiao didn't care about the beauty's reaction. He had been craving this feeling for the past three days, but unfortunately, with a formidable enemy at hand, he couldn't indulge in this gentle embrace.

When he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely spend some tender time with her.

At this moment, Liu Xuening had no idea what Yue Zhixiao was thinking. She only knew that the hand stroking her head felt like a knife to her neck.

"I've been busy with official duties these days and haven't had time to spend with Ning'er. Today, I'll accompany Ning'er on her homecoming."

Liu Xuening didn't know how she got into the carriage, nor did she know why she was now in Yue Zhixiao's arms.

Liu Xuening struggled for a moment, trying to break free from Yue Zhixiao's embrace.

"Ning'er, you'd better not move. If you move again, I don't mind doing something here."

Yue Zhixiao's voice was neither warm nor cold, making it impossible to discern whether he was happy or angry.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuening was so frightened that she dared not move an inch and felt unable to breathe.

"That's a good girl."

Yue Zhixiao rubbed Liu Xuening's hand, "You understand my situation. As long as my father-in-law helps me ascend the throne, and you give birth to a son or daughter for me, I will grant you the title of Imperial Noble Consort, on par with the Empress."

Although Liu Xuening was afraid, she had already made up her mind.

If she were to give birth to a child, it wouldn't be too late to kill him then. Her son would then become the ruler of the Moon Kingdom, and she would be the most honored woman in the Moon Kingdom.

Even Yue Xiyuan would have to obey her. When she was in the harem, she could rekindle her romance with Yue Xiyuan and enjoy family bliss.

Liu Xuening grasped Yue Zhixiao's hand in return, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my utmost to assist you, and so will my father."

The warmth emanating from her fingertips instantly made Yue Zhixiao flustered, and a voice kept echoing in her heart.

Tear her apart! Tear her apart!

That's what I thought in my heart, and that's what I did.

With a ripping sound, Liu Xuening's clothes, which she had just put on, were torn to shreds by Yue Zhixiao.

Liu Xuening naturally knew what was about to happen. Her body trembled slightly, and she clenched her teeth, not making a sound.

As a martial artist, Zebin was fully aware of what was happening inside the carriage. He ordered the driver to slow down and take a longer route around the intersection.

a long time……

Liu Xuening's legs went weak and she couldn't even stand up, but fortunately Yue Zhixiao didn't mistreat her.

Seeing Liu Xuening like this, Yue Zhixiao felt pleased. He dressed himself and got off the carriage.

"Go and help the concubine get ready. Come down quickly, don't keep your father-in-law waiting."

Liu Youlin, who had been waiting at the door, naturally knew what had happened when he saw this scene. He had been in the brothel for many years and was already used to these things.

Moreover, now that he has taken cultivation pills, his body is even stronger than when he was young, and he has many tricks up his sleeve. These are nothing compared to what he has to offer.

"Your subject pays respects to Prince Xiao."

“Father-in-law, there’s no need for such formalities. Ning’er said she wanted to dress up nicely to see you and your mother-in-law, so she was a little late. Please don’t take offense.”

The dressing up wasn't done on the carriage; anyone could tell what had happened. But it's fine, as long as his daughter can keep Yue Zhixiao's people, his position will remain unshakable.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. My daughter is just being ignorant. I hope Your Highness will be more tolerant of her in the future."

"Of course, Ning'er and I are in love. Father-in-law, you can rest assured to entrust Ning'er to me."

"Father, Mother..."

Liu Xuening had already gotten off the carriage and bowed to Liu Youlin and his wife.

“Xue Ning, you are now the concubine of Prince Xiao, so your father and I should pay our respects to you.”

As she spoke, Zhao pulled Liu Youlin to bow to Liu Xuening, and Liu Youlin's face immediately fell.

“Mother, what are you saying? Wherever I go, I am still your daughter. It is truly unfilial for parents to bow to their daughter.”

If Liu Youlin were to perform this ceremony for her, it would cause a huge uproar, and her mother's future would be bleak.

Upon hearing Liu Xuening's words, Liu Youlin's expression gradually returned to normal.

"Haha, Xue Ning has grown up. Your Highness, please come inside."

After the meal, Yue Zhixiao and Liu Youlin went to the study, while Zhao Shi pulled Liu Xuening back to her own courtyard for a private chat.

"Xue Ning, what you did today was far too reckless. Have you thought about how people in the capital will view you and what they will say about you in the future?"

Zhao was just a maid who accompanied her in her dowry. Although she was pretty, she couldn't compare to a lady from a respectable family or a woman from a brothel. How could Liu Youlin possibly do such an absurd thing with her? To her, today was already a great act of rebellion.

But how could she not know what Zhao was saying? But what could she do...?

Resisting would only make her life even worse... Every time she thought about what had happened to her, she would be filled with rage.

If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

"So what! My mother got her current status by climbing mountains and sleeping with my father. Now she's lecturing me. Mother, do you know the saying, 'Like mother, like daughter'?"

Zhao was so angry that she stammered and couldn't say anything.

“Mother, look at the state you are in. You deserve to be oppressed by that bitch Zhang for so many years. It’s getting late, I’ll head back now.”

Before Zhao could react, Liu Xuening had vanished without a trace.

"What sins have I committed to raise my children like this!"

Zhao beat her chest and cursed angrily, hating herself and hating Liu Youlin even more.

"Oh, isn't this my younger sister? It's all my fault for being so weak and catching a cold. As her older sister, I didn't even go to greet her when she came back to visit her family."

She came to ambush Liu Xuening. She only had two days left. Yan An told her that the day Liu Xuening became pregnant would be the day she died.
