Xuan Yanyu sat on the bed, holding her in his arms, gently caressing her belly with his big hands, "Hmm."
"Don't worry, I will never leave you as long as you don't want me." Yan Yu Ning leaned on his shoulder, drowsy.
"No." The man was so anxious that he held her hand and placed it on his chest, "Ningning, you are in my heart. There is no way I will not want you."
"I understand, Your Majesty." Yan Yuning hugged his waist, her heart feeling as sweet as if it was filled with honey.
"Go to sleep, I'll be with you." Xuan Yanyu pulled the quilt over Yan Yuning.
"T." Yan Yuning closed her eyes, the warmth of her palms covering her lower abdomen, and suddenly it didn't hurt so much.
As evening approached, Xuan Yanyu gently put down Yan Yuning, who was breathing lightly, and rubbed her sore wrist. He leaned over and kissed the girl's pink lips, then tiptoed out of the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, the little prince is quite well behaved." Ye An, who had been waiting for a long time, reported.
"Yeah." Xuan Yanyu stretched his neck and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is Xiaoran okay?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Everything is fine. It's just that the Fifth Prince and the child are a little weak. The imperial physician said that they will be fine after careful nursing."
"Boy or girl?" Xuan Yanyu asked.
"Your Majesty, it's a girl." Ye An said with a smile, "I heard from the guards who came to report that she has a pink and white face and will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."
"Yes." Xuan Yanyu smiled, "Pass on my decree, grant the Duke gold, silver, silk, wet nurses, and medical officers, and confer the title of county governor on the child."
After a pause, he continued, "Go to the storehouse and get a pair of longevity locks and send them to the general's mansion. Ningning and I will go to see them in two days."
"Ye Bai, Your Majesty." Ye An nodded and told the guards to do it.
"Go to the Imperial Prison." A fleeting murderous intent flashed across the man's eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye An followed Xuan Yanyu's footsteps.
——
Imperial prison.
Xiao Ting was chained to the column, his blue clothes soaked in blood, his teeth chattering in pain, and he kept mumbling, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
The Minister of Punishments and the guards in charge of the imperial prison bowed respectfully.
"What did you find out?" Xuan Yanyu's knuckle-jointed fingertips swept across the dagger and picked up the whip.
"As Your Majesty expected, she did it on purpose." said the Minister of Justice.
"Oh?" The man swung the whip in his hand, and with a "snap" sound, the guard covered Xiao Ting's mouth in time to avoid disturbing Xuan Yanyu.
The Minister of Justice reported the truth of what he had asked, "It was because a man named Aci, when he was sick, called out Wugongfu, and the woman heard it, and the man named Aci rejected the woman's suggestion."
"She hated His Highness Gongfu, so she deliberately bumped into His Highness Gongfu on the long street that day, causing His Highness Gongfu to give birth prematurely."
There was another "pop." Xuan Yanyu's pressure spread. He smiled seductively and picked up the dagger to play with it. "How did she know that the person on the street was Xiao Ran?"
"Your Majesty, this old minister has also asked this question. It is because this woman knew that the Fifth Duke was married to a young general. The young general was not very low-key in the capital. She had inquired about it in advance and knew what the young general looked like. She happened to meet him that day, so she had evil thoughts."
"If anything happens to Xiaoran and the baby in her belly, how will you apologize?" The man threw the dagger in his hand away.
"Hmm..." Xiao Ting let out a faint whimper from his throat.
She regretted it. She regretted it the moment she bumped into Wu Gong...
Why didn't Brother Aci come to rescue her...
"Your Majesty, the cause of this incident was also caused by the man named A Ci. Should he be punished together?" The Minister of Justice took the blood-stained whip from Xuan Yanyu's hand.
