"Your Majesty, please come in." Ye Chen opened the palace door carefully.
Xuan Yanyu stood there without moving. He never thought that there would be a day when someone would dare to chase him away.
The little guy looked up at him, "Father, if you don't stop, you will disturb your son's rest."
Xuan Yanyu: “…”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Ye An ran all the way, panting and striding into the bedroom, his voice lowered, "Your Majesty, Queen Xuan said that if you don't return during the hour of Hai, you will be divorced tonight, and tomorrow morning, you will be removed from the imperial jade disc."
As soon as Ye An finished speaking, Xuan Yanyu, who had been standing there unsteadily just now, suddenly ran out.
Ye An: “…”
Xuan Yuncheng tilted his head, and Qi Ye'an said something to his father, who then ran away from his sight and disappeared.
Ye Chen was stunned. It was not often that His Majesty ran so fast. The first time was when Ye Jian lost Empress Xuan, and the second time was this time.
——
King Xuan’s bedroom.
Xuan Yanyu looked at the open door of the bedroom. The candlelight was flickering in the wind. The bed was tidy, but there was no familiar person who was close to his heart.
Xuan Yanyu's heart trembled, "Where's Ningning?"
"I don't know." Qiu Ci half-knelt down, not daring to raise her head.
The man's Adam's apple rolled, his pupils filled with suppressed anger, "You don't know? You don't even know where Ning Ning is, why are you still staying by her side?"
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty." Qiu Ci knelt on the floor in fear.
Xuan Yanyu's eyes showed a surge of anger, "Twenty strokes of the cane, drag him down."
"Yes." Ye An did not dare to disobey Xuan Yanyu who had a gloomy face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your servant..."
"Shut up. Twenty strokes of the cane won't kill you. I'll have people hit you lighter when the time comes. You just need to pretend." Ye An said in a very low voice while pulling Qiu Ci's arm.
Qiu Ci turned her head, and their noses touched unexpectedly. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Ye An's mind went blank for a moment.
Xuan Yanyu's dark eyes stared gloomily at the two stunned people, and noticing the gloomy gaze, Qiu Ci's red face became visibly grim.
Ye An came to his senses and hurriedly dragged Qiu Ci out of the bedroom.
"Search, search every part of the Xuan Palace carefully." Xuan Yanyu clenched his fists with his hands hanging by his side, took a deep breath, and tried his best to control his emotions. His voice was low and he said, "First, spread the news that Qiuci is not doing a good job in taking care of Queen Xuan. You will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane. You don't have to really do anything to Qiuci."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard obeyed the order.
Xuan Yanyu stepped out of the bedroom and looked up at the starless sky. His throat rolled slightly. It was another dark night. He hoped that Ningning was just angry with him and would not leave him again...
On the other side, in the brightly candlelit Ranle Palace, Yan Yuning was lying beside the cradle, looking at the little girl with a wrinkled face and clenched fists with great joy.
The premature baby, who was close to full term, had been carefully cared for for a few days. His little eyes had just opened a crack and he was making tiny moans. The night was chilly, and Yan Yuning tucked the corner of the quilt in again and again.
Because Xuan Zhaoran gave birth prematurely, the empress dowager was worried, so she made an exception and brought the princess who had been married off to the palace to be taken care of. Xuan Yanyu had no objection to the empress dowager's suggestion.
The retired emperor was somewhat dissatisfied, so the empress dowager asked Xuan Yuncheng in front of him whether he liked his sister. If he did, she could bring his sister and aunt to the palace.
