Chapter 380 Pregnancy
The prince saw that although the emperor was cursing fiercely, he didn't look angry at all. He calmed down a little and continued to ask, "What about my fifth brother?"
There was a hint of tentativeness in his tone, and his eyes were full of expectation and concern.
The emperor frowned upon hearing this, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Let's do as you suggest!"
Upon hearing the Emperor's agreement, the Crown Prince's face lit up with joy. He quickly bowed again and said passionately, "Thank you, Father! I will do my utmost to assist you, Fifth Brother, and ensure this matter is handled with justice, so as not to disappoint your Majesty's trust."
His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes were bright and flashing with determination.
After saying this, he straightened up, his eyes full of determination and resolve.
Then he retreated quickly with light but steady steps, his clothes fluttering as if with the wind.
Tingzhou County
The Second Prince Li Qin and now Yang Zhigao, had no idea that they had been exposed, and even their lair had been targeted.
He was still immersed in the pleasure of revenge on Chu Ci, the woman who ruined everything for him. Various cruel scenes kept appearing in his mind, and his face was distorted.
But his subordinates were almost going crazy. "Young Master, we should leave! I've spotted three groups of people outside who look suspicious."
The subordinate looked nervous, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He shouted anxiously and worriedly, "Young Master, the situation is not good. We can't delay any longer!"
His voice was rapid and trembling, and his body was shaking slightly, as if disaster would strike in the next second.
However, Yang Zhigao had already gone berserk, his eyes bloodshot as he roared ferociously, "I can leave, but before I leave, I must kill that woman Chu Ci. She made me lose everything, and I will make her pay with blood!"
His voice was like a wild animal roar, veins popped out on his neck, and his hands were clenched into fists.
After Yang Zhigao finished his roar, he immediately became upset when he saw his subordinates didn't move at all. "You don't want to?"
"You look down on me too, don't you? I've fallen into such a state now, and you dare to disobey my orders and ignore me?"
He was breathing heavily, his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to eat someone, and his body was shaking with anger.
"I dare not." The subordinate hurriedly lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly, and said in fear and trepidation: "Young master, it's not that I don't want to, but your safety is the first priority in my heart!" His voice was crying, and his body bent even lower.
"I am well aware of the difficulty of going against Chu Ci, and I also know that we have never gained any advantage from her before." The subordinate's voice became increasingly low, with deep helplessness and fear.
"The situation is so dire now. If you insist on doing so, I'm afraid you'll be doomed. I'm loyal to you and can't bear to see you put yourself in danger, young master!"
The subordinate raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, his face full of loyalty and worry.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhigao's expression darkened. He stared intently at his subordinate and gritted his teeth, saying, "Humph! You keep saying this is for my safety, but I think you're just a coward!"
His breathing became more and more rapid, as if he was about to explode in the next second.
"I am a man... a tall and strong man. How could I be afraid of that woman? If I don't kill her today, I will never be able to get rid of the anger in my heart!" Yang Zhigao's voice echoed in the room, full of madness and unwillingness.
Chu Ci, lying in the shadows outside the window, gently poked Fan Jingrui beside her with a look of pride on her face, "Husband, I didn't expect he hated me so much?"
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, but a hint of imperceptible worry flashed in her eyes.
Fan Jingrui nodded, confirming that Yang Zhigao had no intention of leaving immediately, and felt a little relieved.
He frowned slightly, his eyes still fixed on the situation in the room, but he did not respond to Chu Ci's words.
After a pause, he whispered, "Let's go!"
His voice was low and brief, with unquestionable determination.
Chu Ci pursed his lips, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Can't we just take him down directly? If we keep enduring like this, we'll all become Ninja Turtles."
There was a flame of anger burning in her eyes, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui suppressed his smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his eyes revealed a bit of tenderness and helplessness: "My wife, aren't you most afraid of trouble?"
"In the past, when we encountered such things, you always tried to avoid them if possible. Why are you so radical today?" His voice was soft and a little teasing.
Chu Ci was immediately displeased when he saw that Fan Jingrui was actually laughing at him.
She turned her head abruptly, her eyes widened, her cheeks slightly flushed with anger, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "You're still laughing at me!"
If it wasn't the wrong place, Chu Ci would have wanted to roar at the top of his lungs to vent his dissatisfaction.
You can't yell, but you can't forget to say what you need to say.
Chu Ci took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. But...
I really can't calm down. "Who am I so anxious for? But you, not only don't you understand my painstaking efforts, you even make fun of me! Tell me, what are you planning?"
What else could Fan Jingrui do at this point? "Don't worry, madam. Wait another seven days, eight at the most. I promise you that no one in Tingzhou will cause trouble for you again."
Chu Ci heard this, his eyes instantly lit up with surprise, and he excitedly said loudly: "Let's go back."
Fan Jingrui was already accustomed to Chu Ci's erratic nature.
However, in the past seven days, Chu Ci's personality has become increasingly erratic.
He can come up with thirty different things in a day, which is overwhelming.
Even though Fan Jingrui has always been well-educated and has great concentration, he still finds it difficult to withstand it now.
In desperation, he hurriedly called a doctor to take Chu Ci's pulse, hoping to find out the problem, but the final result was that everything was normal.
Time passed quickly until the eighth day, when the purple-robed envoy Yan Xin arrived.
Chu Ci has always been a person who loves to join in the fun. When he heard that they were going to capture Yang Zhigao, he ignored Fan Jingrui's obstruction and followed Yan Xin and the others.
A touch of steaming blood came without warning, and the pungent smell instantly filled the air.
Chu Ci was caught off guard and could no longer control himself. He felt his stomach churning and couldn't help but dry heave.
"Princess, are you pregnant?" The purple-robed envoy Yan Xin has always been knowledgeable and experienced. At this moment, he immediately cast his sharp eyes on Chu Ci's lower abdomen.
Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became dazed. "I'm pregnant?"
Her voice was filled with disbelief and confusion, as if she herself was not sure.
Then, she subconsciously raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen, with a complicated expression on her face, including surprise, confusion, and a hint of helplessness.
"I'm really pregnant?" she murmured to herself again, as if immersed in this sudden possibility.
