The smile on Lu Jiaxue's face disappeared immediately.
"Pregnancy-maintaining medicine..." he murmured softly.
"Yes, the fetus is unstable during the second trimester, so it's time to take good care of it."
Lu Jiaxue smiled. "I see. Thank you, Ma'am. I'll take my leave of the Queen today. Please come visit me again when you have time."
He turned his head to look at Yining and held out his hand: "Why don't you get up? Do you want me to pull you up?"
Luo Yining was dragged out of Jingren Palace by him. He wasn't walking fast, and his expression didn't reveal anything. But the aura around him was heavy, like a June storm about to descend. Luo Yining even suspected it was just an illusion. After he led her into the carriage, he didn't even say anything, didn't react violently. Instead, he said to the driver, "Go through the door ahead."
A vermilion palace gate was open in front, and he suddenly stretched out his hand from behind.
Luo Yining saw several figures emerging from the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and she spotted him immediately among them. He was aloof and handsome, dressed in court robes. He seemed thinner, perhaps even from where she was looking. Officials surrounded him, his lips slightly pursed, and he still seemed quiet. He walked down the steps, and at this point, he was only about five meters away from her.
Luo Yining suddenly lost control and wanted to shout his name. She was right here! But Lu Jiaxue covered her mouth and said calmly, "He can't hear you."
Luo Yining struggled so hard that tears came out. His lips moved hard, but only difficult and unclear sounds came out.
Luo Shenyuan seemed to sense something and looked back, but saw nothing and walked away again. In the distance, people surrounded the sedan chair waiting for him. Although the teacher suffered, he was much more powerful than before, and the sedan chair could even enter the palace.
Someone was kneeling outside the Qianqing Gate, snow covering the ground. The man's clothes were thin and frail, and Luo Yining recognized him immediately. Many members of the Qingliu Party had already withdrawn, and not many remained. Luo Shenyuan's sedan chair passed by him without even stopping. The bearers were also indifferent. Yang Ling's frail figure swayed, as if he were about to collapse.
Xu Wei was about to be executed, and this was his last chance. Luo Shenyuan had indeed ignored him, and everything remained the same as in his previous life. Yang Ling would still die, and the outrage the court would experience after his death would be suppressed by Wang Yuan. All of this was so close to her, right before her eyes!
Luo Yining suddenly broke free from Lu Jiaxue's hand and really wanted to hit him: "You are such a bastard!"
Unexpectedly, he stopped her hand and said coldly, "Don't fight me. Don't you know you have a child in your belly?"
"I asked someone to take your pulse last night." Lu Jiaxue said with a sigh, "I knew it a long time ago, I just kept suppressing it. Don't provoke me."
He held her in his arms again. "Look, he's so close, but he doesn't know where you are. You just missed each other..." He seemed to be mocking her again. "His teacher is going to be beheaded tonight, but he's become even more powerful because of this. Do you think your third brother is an honest official? His essence is the same as mine. He's not a good person either."
He is indeed not a good person...but he is Luo Shenyuan.
Luo Yining turned his face away from him.
"You can't go back," Lu Jiaxue said finally. "Luo Shenyuan sees the blossoming flowers, but he can't fight if I want him to. Leave with me, and I'll let him go."

"Lord Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that he was uneasy, the guard walking beside the carriage asked.
"Nothing." Luo Shenyuan shook his head calmly and asked, "Have the Jinyiwei responded?"
"He replied, saying that the governor has been making arrangements in Datong," the guard said. "I have already burned the secret letter."
Luo Shenyuan closed his eyes and said, "Let's go to Datong tomorrow."
"Sir, that Lord Yang... is quite pitiful," the guard said hesitantly. "He refused to leave even though he was freezing. It's so cold."
Luo Shenyuan didn't say anything.
As soon as Luo Shenyuan arrived home, someone came running to deliver a message, gasping for breath, "Sir... something happened in the palace... something happened in the palace!"
Luo Shenyuan felt a little nervous. Just at noon, Xu Wei had been beheaded at Caishikou.
The only person who is in trouble in the palace now is Yang Ling.
It was just as he expected. His mentor was ultimately beheaded. Upon hearing the news, Yang Ling remained silent for a long time, determined to die in defense of Wang Yuan. His teacher had never engaged in corruption; he had dedicated his entire life to the well-being of the nation, yet this was the fate he faced. Every citizen in the capital knew that Master Xu wore his official uniform year-round. He always had a smile on his face and enjoyed ordering edamame liquor, just a few of his minor hobbies. But the real corrupt official, who sold official positions and used tricks to frame officials, was so powerful that no one dared to speak up, allowing him to frame loyal officials!
But the emperor was unwilling to listen to him. Instead, he was irritated by his constant annoyance. The emperor was furious. If he didn't want to die for his remonstrance, he would order him to be beaten half to death!
Yang Ling was beaten with a killing stick. The stick was unusual, thick as a wrist, and it could shatter his internal organs with a single blow! Yang Ling was nearly dying, and was then dragged off to the prison.
Luo Shenyuan went to see him in the Ministry of Justice prison.
The sedan chair hurried to the Ministry of Justice. Luo Shenyuan's pupils shrank slightly when he saw him. Yang Ling was in a much more miserable state than he had imagined. His back was covered in blood and flesh, and the bones were visible. He was really about to die.
If your advice doesn't work, you will die.
If someone hadn't been secretly hitting him hard, it would have been impossible for him to die in one blow. The person who hit him had different degrees of severity, and it was obvious that he was instructed by someone.
Luo Shenyuan walked over to him. Yang Ling raised his head and saw that it was Luo Shenyuan. He said reluctantly, "...I thought...I thought the emperor would listen..."
Luo Shenyuan said, "The eunuchs who serve as attendants to Wang Yuan are his men. How we report to him is entirely up to them."
