"You've found out..." Dugu Jue gripped the reins with both hands, his gaze disdainful, and suddenly yanked the rope sharply. "Then, men, bring the Second Prince into the manor!"

As Dugu Jue finished speaking, a group of guards filed out and surrounded Dugu Ran.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Dugu Jue also threw Shen You'an off the horse, and she landed in the arms of several guards.

The group was in a flurry of activity, as if they were handling a hot potato.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Ran instinctively tried to go over as well, but his hands were bound, preventing him from moving forward even an inch.

Dugu Jue raised an eyebrow, "Why is Second Brother so nervous about Fourth Prince Shen?"

Shen Youan was the fourth among the Shen brothers.

Dugu Ran didn't bother to reply to this, and said coldly, "Dugu Ling, you and I are both princes. The world is bright and clear. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Emperor for acting like this?"

Although I am not as favored as you, I am still a member of the royal family!

"You are the crown prince, and I am your subject. Is this how you indiscriminately kill innocent people?"

"Who said I was going to kill you?" With a slight smile, Dugu Jue nimbly leaped off his horse, tossed his long whip into Steward Qin's arms, and strode into the mansion. "Let's go, give the Second Prince a good welcome, let him experience how warmly we welcome him."

"Yes!" Several guards forcibly took Dugu Ran inside, disregarding her wishes.

At first, Dugu Ran resisted a bit, but when he saw that Shen You'an was unconscious and being taken in like him, he simply stopped resisting.

He didn't believe that Dugu Ling would actually kill them all!

Chu Yuan had just finished dressing when Xia He informed her that something terrible had happened in the manor: "Princess, something terrible has happened! His Highness has gone mad!"

"..." Chu Yuan glanced at her. "Let's talk this out. What do you mean by 'crazy' or 'stupid'? If he hears this, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Oh dear!" Xia He slapped her thigh, not caring at all about her own fate. "What I said is true. His Highness must have lost his temper for some reason and had General Shen and the Second Prince taken back to the manor. They've been locked up in the dungeon right now!"

Chu Yuan, "..."

She instinctively stood up, clutching her back, and muttered, "My goodness, she's really gone mad!"

How could such an absurd thing happen in the time it takes to take a late afternoon nap?

Dugu Ran is Dugu Ling's younger brother, which is understandable. I believe Dugu Jue wouldn't cause Dugu Ling such a big problem. But Shen You'an is an outsider. Who knows what Dugu Jue will do when he goes crazy!

Therefore, Chu Yuan hurriedly set off, only to bump into Dugu Jue at the courtyard gate. "Why aren't you resting? Where are you going?"

She has now passed the first three months of danger.

After taking the system pills, I ate well, slept well, and had a healthy pregnancy, so I didn't need to pay any attention to the fact that I was pregnant.

However, Dugu Ling and Dugu Jue refused. Just as Physician Hu had instructed, they watched over her every day, standing, sitting, and lying down, and forbade her from making any dangerous moves.

When Xiahe used to take care of her, she could at least do some needlework. Now, let alone needles and scissors, you probably wouldn't find a single extra corner in the entire house.

Chu Yuan forced a smile, "The weather's nice today. You brought two people back so quietly, can't I go check on them?"

Knowing full well that Shen Youan was her nephew, Chu Yuan was still doing this, which made her unhappy!

Dugu Jue, with his sharp eyes, noticed this and stepped forward to pinch Chu Yuan's rosy cheeks. "You rushed out as soon as you woke up without even wearing a cloak. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

"Don't worry, I was just teasing those two, just kidding. They can't really do anything to me, can they?"

Chu Yuan looked up at the ceiling. "You've already locked him up in a dungeon, and you call this a joke?"

"Yuan'er doesn't believe me? Fine then, Xiahe, bring me the cloak. I'll take the Crown Princess to see something interesting."

Upon hearing this, Xia He and Chu Yuan were both bewildered.

Chu Yuan, in particular, tugged at Dugu Jue's sleeve, "How did you end up meeting Shen You'an?"

Shouldn't the person have been taken away by Dugu Yueba... oops, I mean, shouldn't they have been?

When asked this question, Chu Yuan felt a little guilty, after all, betraying her nephew was not a glorious thing.

But after asking, he noticed that Dugu Jue's expression was also strange.

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately. She crossed one arm over her chest and rubbed her chin with the other hand. "Dugu Jue, you've been hiding something from me!"

The latter sat down nonchalantly and brought out some tea to drink.

Chu Yuan wasn't going to be fooled. She turned around, pinned him to the shoulder, and made a choking motion. "Tell me! What mischief did you get up to while I was sleeping?!"

The man's profile was handsome, his expression aloof, like the snow on a mountaintop, or the sands of hell!

Upon hearing this, his expression did not change much.

He merely glanced sideways, his gaze landing on the soft spot where Chu Yuan was pressed against him, completely unaware.

This woman probably has no idea how "annoying" she is!

They say you should be restrained during pregnancy, but their behavior is often unintentional...

He turned around and pulled the person into his arms, "You're the worst person I ever wanted to be..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia He ran over carrying a cloak. "Your Highness, we found it!"

Dugu Jue, "..."

Chu Yuan watched and secretly chuckled.

After putting on the cloaks, the two walked together toward the dungeon.

"Speak, why did you arrest Dugu Ran?" They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, but Chu Yuan is still alive and hasn't forgotten Dugu Jue's strange evasive answers earlier!

However, after entering the dungeon, Dugu Jue deliberately lowered his footsteps and even held up a finger to Chu Yuan to shush her, saying, "If you want to see a good show, don't make a sound."

Chu Yuan rolled her eyes. Here we go again!

But it doesn't matter. Under the same roof, Dugu Jue can't escape her grasp.
