Ye Zeyu's thin lips rubbed against Su Muxi's cherry lips, his voice hoarse and full of longing.
Su Muxi was also aroused by Ye Zeyu's kiss, but she turned her head away after smelling the blood on Ye Zeyu.
"Stop fooling around."
As she spoke, she tried to push Ye Zeyu away, but she couldn't break free from his embrace even a little.
Unless Ye Ziyu lets go voluntarily.
"Let me take a look at your injury first."
Ye Zeyu was afraid that Su Muxi would worry, so he could only reluctantly let go.
He quickly took off his clothes, revealing his strong physique.
"Xi'er, it's alright, it's just a minor injury on your shoulder..."
Now that they had met, Ye Zeyu didn't hide anything and quickly recounted everything that had happened on Black Bull Mountain.
Su Muxi remained silent throughout, seemingly focused on treating Ye Zeyu's wounds, but Ye Zeyu knew that Su Muxi was angry.
After Su Muxi finished bandaging her wound, Ye Zeyu grabbed Su Muxi's arm and, with a little force, made her sit on his lap.
He wrapped his long arms around Su Muxi and kissed her forehead. "Xi'er, I was wrong. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
Su Muxi looked up, reached out and removed the mask from Ye Zeyu's face. After seeing Ye Zeyu's remorseful expression, she reached out and hugged Ye Zeyu's neck.
"Don't take such risks next time. You knew Li Xun was trying to harm you, yet you let him fire the arrow. If you hadn't dodged faster, or if he had missed, that poisoned arrow would have hit your vitals, and I'd probably see a cold corpse by now!"
"Usually, it's those who can swim who drown. Ye Zerui and the Bai family are in this situation because they were too arrogant."
"Ye Ziyu, we've only just gotten married. I don't want to become a widow. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about me!"
"Besides, I'm now carrying your child, and you'll soon be a father. If something happens to you, my child and I will be bullied to death!"
After hearing what Su Muxi said, Ye Zeyu did reflect on his own actions.
Although everything was within his expectations, he still took a risk in the end, which worried Xi'er.
However, just as he was about to make a promise, he was completely stunned after hearing Su Muxi's last words.
flesh and blood?
Becoming a father?
Seeing that Ye Zeyu didn't react, Su Muxi let go of him. After seeing Ye Zeyu's dumbfounded expression, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing Su Muxi's laughter, Ye Zeyu finally came to his senses and looked at Su Muxi with a slightly nervous expression, asking, "Xi'er, what did you just say? I might not have heard you clearly."
Su Muxi said with a smile, "I said, I'm pregnant with your child, you're going to be a father!"
Ye Zeyu's dark eyes trembled, and after a moment, he hugged Su Muxi tightly.
"Xi'er, thank you."
His voice was choked with emotion, yet also brimming with unspeakable joy.
Born into the royal family and constantly away on campaigns, Ye Ziyu had no idea what the concept of home was.
Seeing the harmonious and warm scene of the Su family, he felt both envious and longing.
It was at this moment that he realized he could have a home of his own.
Meanwhile, Qiao Xiuyuan led a person wearing a cloak into the Ministry of Justice prison.
Zheng Yi's father, Zheng Lin, carefully observed the people around Qiao Xiuyuan.
"The figures are indeed very similar, but she probably won't say much about it."
Qiao Xiuyuan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Zheng Lin said nothing more, but led Qiao Xiuyuan and the person beside him toward a secluded prison cell, where the former Princess Chang Le, Bai Mengying, was imprisoned.
The Ministry of Justice prison is now overcrowded, but Zheng Lin arranged a quiet cell for Bai Mengying.
Bai Mengying thought that Zheng Lin was taking care of her separately because of Zheng Yi, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
She tentatively begged Zheng Yi to save her.
To Bai Mengying's surprise, Zheng Yi actually agreed, which made her ecstatic.
Hearing a noise at the prison door, Bai Mengying hurriedly got up and looked towards the door, but frowned when she saw Qiao Xiuyuan.
"Why are you here? Did you come to laugh at me?"
Bai Mengying wasn't stupid. During the half-day she was locked up, she had thought it through very clearly. The reason why the Bai family had fallen to this state was definitely related to Qiao Xiuyuan!
Therefore, Qiao Xiuyuan's visit to her this time must have been for ill intentions!
Qiao Xiuyuan looked at Bai Mengying's disheveled appearance with a gentle expression.
"Miss Bai, rest assured, I am not here to laugh at you, but to save you."
"Help me?"
Bai Mengying didn't believe Qiao Xiuyuan's nonsense and hurriedly looked at Zheng Lin.
"Uncle Zheng, Qiao Xiuyuan is definitely up to no good. Please make him leave!"
Zheng Lin's face was gloomy. When he heard Bai Mengying call him "Uncle Zheng", a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Didn't Miss Bai ask me to rescue you? Marquis Anyang is the one I invited to rescue you."
After saying that, he opened the cell door and said to Qiao Xiuyuan, "I'll go outside and keep watch. You hurry up."
Qiao Xiuyuan looked at Bai Mengying, who was in a panic, and said calmly, "Don't worry."
Bai Mengying watched Qiao Xiuyuan walk into the cell and instinctively stepped back. "What are you going to do?"
He had nowhere to retreat until his back hit the wall.
Qiao Xiuyuan didn't speak, but the person who had been wearing a cloak beside him took it off, revealing her rotten face.
"You...you are..."
Bai Mengying looked at the person in surprise, her fear growing even stronger.
“Miss Bai, I said I would get you out of here, but someone always needs to be in this prison, otherwise Lord Zheng won’t be able to explain to the Emperor.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qiao Xiuyuan strode forward and chopped Bai Mengying in the neck with a chop.
After Bai Mengying fainted, the woman with the disfigured face quickly swapped the clothes on the two of them, and then, in front of Qiao Xiuyuan, she took off her belt and tied it to the beam.
"I implore Marquis Yong'an to keep his word and spare my entire family."
As the woman spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Qiao Xiuyuan.
Qiao Xiuyuan solemnly assured him, "Don't worry, I will never break my promise to you."
Upon hearing this, the woman's expression gradually hardened, and she hanged herself in the prison right in front of Qiao Xiuyuan.
Looking at the woman who had hanged herself in front of him, Qiao Xiuyuan showed a look of pity. "Seeing you like this, I really can't bear it, so your family will go down to keep you company tomorrow."
He then walked over to Bai Mengying, grabbed one of her arms, and dragged her out of the cell.
Seeing this, Zheng Yi finally understood why Qiao Xiuyuan had reassured him: the dead don't say much.
