Apple then lowered her head and didn't dare look at Ren Yaoqi: "Miss, I don't know what happened at the time. I couldn't control myself. Are you afraid of me and think that I am not suitable to be with you?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned. She noticed that something was wrong with Apple since a while ago. It turned out that this was what she was worried about.
Ren Yaoqi sighed, "Apple, you've been by my side for many years, and in my heart you've always been well-behaved and sensible. The reason you acted so ruthlessly today was because you saw Nanxing fighting Yelusage, and you were afraid that Xiao Jingyue would come and hurt me and the child?"
Apple thought about it, then nodded, "Yeah." After a pause, she added, "I'm still angry."
Ren Yaoqi smiled: "That's right, so it's not wrong for you to be ruthless."
Apple had always been an obedient servant, and hearing her master's words made her feel much more at ease. When she came to her senses after hitting Xiao Jingyue, she was afraid that her master would dislike her for being too aggressive and not kind enough.
Nan Xing also spoke up: "You're right. Next time you meet someone like this, you'll have to do the same thing. How can a maid from the Yanbei Palace be so timid!"
Apple then let it go, as she was a simple-minded person.
At this moment, Ren Yaoqi heard various sounds coming from far away outside. When he listened carefully, he could faintly hear shouts, the collision of weapons, and the neighing of horses.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but sit up from the bed, frowning and asking, "What's going on outside?"
Nanxing couldn't leave Ren Yaoqi even a step away. Pingguo was about to get up and go outside to ask, but Sangzhen ran in and said excitedly: "Miss, I heard from the guards outside that Lord Mu brought people here and they are now fighting with those people outside."
Ren Yaoqi nodded and wanted to get out of bed.
Sang Zhen said quickly, "The Concubine Dowager asked you to continue to rest. Don't get up. It will take some time for Lord Mu's men to break in."
Ren Yaoqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could she sleep at this moment? However, she didn't want to disobey Concubine Yun. She simply leaned against the headboard and pretended to doze off. She said to Sang Zhen, "Go outside. If you have any news, come in and tell me."
Sang Zhen responded and went out.
However, surprisingly, the battle did not last too long. It was still dark when Mu Hu and his men came in.
It turned out that the guards who had been thought to be under Xiao Jingyue's control were not completely incapacitated. They were just showing weakness at first. When Mu Hu led his men back, these guards rushed out of the palace with the help of the outside forces, so Mu Hu entered smoothly.
"Where is Xiao Heng?" Concubine Yun asked Mu Hu, whose face was covered in blood, with a cold face.
Mu Hu rushed to Zhaoning Palace without even having time to change into clean clothes. Seeing that Concubine Yun, Young Madam and his own wife were all fine, the stern-faced man finally breathed a sigh of relief and restrained his murderous aura.
"Xiao Heng was no longer in the mansion when the subordinates came in."
Concubine Yun snorted coldly: "He runs fast!"
Just as she finished speaking, she saw Ren Yaoqi coming out of the inner room. Concubine Yun looked at Mu Hu and said to Ren Yaoqi, "What are you doing out here?"
Concubine Yun was not afraid of Mu Hu, who was covered in blood, but she was worried that the evil spirit on them would affect the baby in Ren Yaoqi's belly.
