Chapter 19: Difficult Birth



Dong Qing'er nestled in Prince Changning's arms with a pale face, and Prince Changning's big hands gently clasped her back. It looked like an extremely warm scene.

Yue Nanchen suddenly put down his wine glass, and wherever he passed, the busy palace maids and guards all fled away in panic. Some who were unable to dodge even crawled away using their hands and feet.

Wherever Yue Nanchen passed, there was chaos. Many cups that had been cleaned up with great difficulty were thrown into the air again, and screams rang out again.

"Qing'er, it's too noisy here. Why don't you go downstairs and find a place to rest!" When he caught a glimpse of the fierce silver figure out of the corner of his eye, Prince Changning patted Dong Qing'er's back calmly, his expression even gentler.

"Yeah!" Dong Qing'er responded softly, leaning limply on Prince Changning's body.

"When will the emperor's uncle come back?" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded, and the cold figure stood in front of the two of them.

Dong Qing'er, nestled in Prince Changning's arms, felt slightly stiff.

Prince Changning comforted her lightly without much concern, and turned his head to meet those sinister eyes calmly, "I've been back for two days, just for my sister-in-law's birthday!"

"Really?" Yue Nanchen raised the corners of his thin lips.

Dong Qing'er raised her eyes and looked at him.

There was a strange smile on the corner of his lips. He seemed to be looking at her, but also seemed not to be looking at her. It was as if a hazy white mist was shrouding him, and the unpredictability made her frightened.

She turned her head and looked up, gently looking at the handsome and calm face of Prince Changning, "Chengning, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, let's leave here!"

The smile on Yue Nanchen's lips became even more intense, captivating, especially when she stood in the bloody scene he created.

.

"Uncle, my father has left a will that it is better for you to come to the capital less often!"

Dong Qing'er suddenly raised her pale little face and pursed her cherry-like lips tightly, "Yuen Nanchen, it's been so long since the incident happened, can't you let Cheng Ning go?"

Yue Nanchen was startled, a hint of coldness flashed across his dark pupils, but quickly disappeared.

"I'm doing this for your own good!" He spoke softly, looking at her eyes that were as peaceful and beautiful as a lake in winter, but deep in his eyes there seemed to be a bone-chilling loneliness hidden.

Dong Qing'er let out a long sigh and put on a stern face, "I'm very happy! If you keep targeting Cheng Ning because of what happened three years ago, Yue Nanchen, I will look down on you!"

"Qing'er!" Prince Changning gently held her hand, as if trying to stop her from speaking further.

There was a kind of rude fragility in Yue Nanchen's eyes. Gradually, under her words, the rudeness in his eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a little bit of faint light.

"So this is how you see me?" He smiled bitterly, his slender white fingers curled up together with a faint smell of blood.

Dong Qing'er lowered her head, her long eyelashes setting off her snow-white face.

Prince Changning supported Dong Qing'er back to the bedroom specially prepared for them by the Queen Mother.

He gently placed the pale woman on the bed, carefully pulled the quilt for her, and turned to leave.

The woman held the collar tightly.

There was a hint of coldness in Prince Changning's indifferent eyes, but when he looked back, he was still gentle, "What's wrong?"

"Chengning, we have been married for three years. Why do you always refuse to stay in my room?" Dong Qing'er raised her little face, her pale face filled with a hint of pleading.

Changning

Wang held her hand gently, "You are not feeling well, so don't think too much! We have a long way to go!" He leaned over, gently kissed her forehead, then turned around and left the room.

A tear slid down the woman's fair face. She turned her face away and bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

In the study, Prince Changning stood quietly in front of the window, his slender figure reflected on the carved wooden window by the swaying candlelight, so faint and elongated that the outline was almost indistinguishable.

A faint and almost imperceptible sound of footsteps quickly sounded on the roof.

Prince Changning slowly turned his head and slowly raised his narrow eyes. His black eyes were like two cold pools, clear, cold, calm and bottomless. He stared quietly at the door of the study.

The door was opened, and two men in black knelt on the ground silently, "Master, do you want to take action?"

Prince Changning slowly raised the corners of his lips, his dark eyes flickering with a frightening glimmer in the dark night, "Action? Didn't you see Yue Nanchen in the palace? Pass the word down, all actions tonight are canceled, make plans before taking action!"

"But... this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Master finally entered the palace..."

“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Before you take action, find a way to get rid of Yue Nanchen first!” The man returned to the table, waved his pen, wrote the word “kill”, and threw it on the ground coldly.

The two men in black trembled, "Yes!"

The guests gradually dispersed, leaving Yue Nanchen alone sitting at the banquet drinking.

The cold moonlight shone through the thick black curtain, detachedly and coldly on his beautiful and indifferent face. His eyes were as black as ink, and his lines were graceful and tight.

jaw.

As childish as a child? He picked up the white jade wine glass, and his bitter smile was reflected in the clear and transparent jade liquid. He had done so much, but was it just childish in her eyes?

His love for Dong Qing'er had already settled the moment she got married. What remained was only the worry of her relatives. He had never thought of taking her away from Prince Changning. As long as she still had a smile on her face and as long as she was still happy, he would not do that!

But she said, he was as naive as a child!

Haha! The white jade wine glass suddenly shattered between his fingers, and the splashing jade liquid wet his eyes.

How ironic!

Gazing at Yue Nanchen from afar, Lan Shuiyao's lips curled up into a cold smile. She thought this perverted and bloodthirsty man had no weaknesses, but it turned out that woman was his weakness.

That night, all the guests who came to the palace found that their valuable jewelry was missing when they returned home.

"Oh my god, my earring is gone!"

"My jade pendant is also missing. It's my family heirloom..."

"My necklace..."

"My hairpin..."

...and instead there are bright roses.

That night, a large amount of jewelry and antiques were lost in the palace. At every crime scene, a gorgeous red rose was left behind! What kind of thief actually stole into the palace?

For a while, the whole Yue City was in a panic, and everyone was terrified when talking about red roses.

Emperor Yue Nanxuan was furious and handed the matter over to Prince Yongnan to handle. He also issued an imperial decree that if Red Rose was caught, she would be executed without mercy. As a result, Red Rose became the most famous underworld organization in the history of Yue Kingdom.

At the same time, Yanzhilou, the largest brothel in Yuecheng, quietly became Lanshuilou. It is reported that Lanshuilou was

Over time, it became the largest casino and brothel in Yuecheng.

Next to the Lanshui Tower is a small courtyard with four large characters "Lanshui Medical Clinic" inscribed on it, but it is not very conspicuous.

At the beginning, the Lanshui Building did not have much business, and the "Lanshui Clinic" was always deserted, but there was no intention of closing. The door was always open, and no one came in or out.

Finally one day, someone knocked on the door of Lanshui Clinic, and the person who came was...

"Master!" Fulu walked into the study in a hurry. The person sitting in the seat didn't even raise his head, but just stared at a pile of dried roses on the table.

The Empress Dowager fell ill after being frightened at the birthday banquet that night, and the Emperor was really angry. For the first time in all these years, he spoke to him with a stern face and sternly ordered him to catch the hateful Red Rose!

Red roses? Yue Nanchen grasped the wilted petals in his hands and squeezed them hard. The red, slightly blackened flower juice stained his overly slender fingers, looking sickly and a bit like dried blood.

"My Lord..." Fulu swallowed his saliva as he looked at Yue Nanchen's actions, "Prince Lu has returned to the capital. It is said that he is looking for a famous doctor for Princess Lu."

Yue Nanchen slowly turned his head and said, "Seeking a doctor? What happened to the imperial aunt?"

Fulu quickly replied, "It is said that it is a difficult birth. The baby has been in labor for a day and a night, but it still can't be born. Even the imperial doctors in the palace have been dispatched, but still..."

Yue Nanchen frowned slightly.

Prince Lu was his mentor. In the royal family, which was devoid of warmth, he only had two relatives, one was his third brother Yue Nanxuan, and the other was Prince Lu Yue Chengjing. His uncle had been married for more than ten years but had no children. It was not easy for his aunt to get pregnant, but she was unexpectedly...
