Du Zhong quickly ran over and helped Du Heng up. He trembled and said, "Master! Please be gentle! You can't beat Du Heng to death! He's going to be a father soon!"
Shang Lu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and muttered to himself. It turned out that he had just learned from the young master yesterday that the Dark Moon Fairy was actually Luo Lingyue.
And now, this Du Heng and her have such a special relationship, which is really unexpected. However, this way, he is relieved a lot.
After all, considering how much Luo Lingyue loves Liuli, she probably won't let Du Heng suffer too much. Thinking of this, Shang Lu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Upon hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy immediately got off the carriage, her face filled with joy. She hurried forward, took Du Heng's hand, and said happily, "Liuli is going to be a mother? Du Bangchui! You're really amazing!"
Du Heng looked at Dark Moon Enchantress with a wary expression. His face was as pale as paper, and his lips trembled slightly. He said, "If you dare to harm them, mother and child, I will fight you to the death even if it means risking my own life!"
Seeing the situation was dire, Shang Lu flew in front of Du Heng and covered his mouth. He quickly apologized to Dark Moon Fairy, saying, "Madam! The Du brothers have been orphans since childhood, without a father or mother. No one has ever taught them how to get along with others. Please forgive me for any inappropriate words!"
Du Zhong and Du Heng were completely bewildered. When had this Dark Moon Fairy become the Sect Master's wife? They were completely unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.
Du Zhong's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief, "Master! When did you get involved with this witch? She's a murderous female devil!"
When Xueying heard Du Zhong's words, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He swung the soft sword in his hand violently, and instantly cut Du Zhong's clothes into shreds.
Du Zhong turned pale with fear and took several steps back. Xueying looked at Du Zhong coldly and said in a icy voice, "Du Zhong! Meeting my wife is like meeting my master! You and Du Heng will go to the Discipline Hall immediately to receive your punishment!"
Du Zhong grumbled unconvincedly, "We didn't know! Ignorance is not a crime!"
Blood Shadow sneered and said sarcastically, "Humph! Soul-seeking Sect never kills innocent people! And you knew Xiao Jinghan was innocent, but you lost your conscience for the sake of gold! What do you think, should he be punished?"
Du Heng was shocked when he heard this, realizing he had made a grave mistake. He broke free from Shang Lu's hand, knelt down, and said to Xue Ying, "Master! Du Heng accepts the punishment!" He knew he could no longer evade responsibility and must bear the punishment he deserved.
Xueying looked at Du Zhong, only to see Du Zhong say reluctantly: "Okay, I accept the punishment too!" After that, he stopped talking.
Just as the two were about to turn around and leave, Dark Moon Fairy suddenly called out to Du Heng, "Du Heng! After you go back this time, you should stay home with Liuli. You don't need to go out on missions anymore."
Hearing this, Du Heng was slightly startled, then looked at Xueying excitedly. Xueying smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Well, I'll listen to what Madam says. Stay home and spend some time with Liuli. We can talk about other things after she gives birth."
Du Heng felt warm in his heart and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master and Madam! I will live up to your trust and take good care of Liuli." After saying that, he left happily.
On their way back to Nanyi, Xueying, Dark Moon Fairy, and their group suddenly received news from the General's Mansion: Sister-in-law Chen Manting had successfully given birth to a pair of adorable twins, and both mother and child were safe.
Upon hearing this good news, Dark Moon Fairy smiled with relief, but also with a hint of disappointment: "Oh, if only I were in the capital right now, I could hug these two little ones and feel the warmth of new life. It's a pity that we are still on the road..."
Xueying patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "It's okay, let's go see them after we return to the capital. The most important thing now is to make sure that sister-in-law and the children are healthy and safe. Besides, I have someone send the gifts. Although aunt and uncle are not here, my love for them has been delivered!" The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a gentle light in his eyes.
Blood Shadow's words made Dark Moon Fairy burst out laughing, and her mood brightened. She looked at Blood Shadow gratefully and said, "Thank you for being so thoughtful and considerate. It's great to have you around!"
Xueying responded with a smile: "You're welcome. As long as I see you happy, everything is worth it." His eyes were full of affection and doting.
The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with happiness and warmth. Although they couldn't see the newborn babies immediately, they knew that this affection and love would flow forever in each other's hearts. As for Xueying, he was willing to give everything for the woman he loved, to make her feel happy and satisfied.
Xiao Jingyi received news from the secret agent: "Your Highness, it has been confirmed that Xiao Jinghan was indeed cured by Doctor Xi. And now he has set out on his journey back to Nanyi."
This news made Xiao Jingyi very angry. He slammed his fist on the table, his heart full of resentment and resentment.
At the same time, Emperor Wen also learned of the news and immediately summoned his trusted ministers to discuss countermeasures. In the end, they decided to send Anle Prince Shang Boxian to escort Wu'an Prince and his wife back to Nanyi.
However, Prince Anle was already terminally ill and unable to escort the king himself. Therefore, the task fell to Princess Anle, Kong Luanying. She would replace Shang Boxian and escort Prince Wu'an and his wife back to Nanyi.
When Xiao Jingyi learned of this arrangement, his face turned very ugly and his nose was crooked with anger. He had originally hoped to take this opportunity to get rid of Prince Wu'an, but now it seems that this plan has completely failed.
Meanwhile, Kong Luanying, though somewhat apprehensive, resolutely accepted the mission. She knew it might be dangerous, but she still chose to face it bravely. After all, she couldn't let Emperor Wen down.
At this point in time, a major event happened in the capital.
It was a beautiful, sunny day. The Crown Prince and his wife, dressed in plain clothing, went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pay respects to their ancestors on behalf of Emperor Wen and the Empress. Along the way, people gave way to them in a show of respect.
However, when they arrived at the Taimiao, they encountered a sudden attack.
A group of unidentified assassins suddenly appeared, holding sharp blades, and rushed towards the prince and princess.
The guards brought by the crown prince fought bravely, but were soon defeated by these assassins. The crown princess hid behind the crown prince in fear, and he protected her tightly.
The assassins were approaching step by step. The prince's face turned pale. He knew that he could not escape.
At this moment, a assassin swung his sword and stabbed at the prince. The princess widened her eyes and rushed forward without hesitation, blocking the assassin's sword with her body.
