Back at the Third Prince's residence, Yun Shao refused to let anyone light a lamp and sat motionless in the pitch-black room.
There was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
The voice of the Third Prince's Consort came through.
Yun Shao stirred slightly. The child in the Third Prince's wife's womb might be his only offspring in this world.
"Come in."
The Third Prince's wife pushed open the door and saw that the room was pitch black. She quickly lit candles and said, "How can these servants take care of His Highness? It's dark and they don't even turn on the lights. I'll deal with them later."
"It's alright, I told them not to order it," Yun Shao said.
The Third Prince's wife paused for a moment, then turned around and walked to Yun Shao's side. As Yun Shao's first wife, she also sensed that something was wrong with him.
"Your Highness, is something troubling you? May I tell you about it?"
Yun Shao smiled and waved, "Come here."
The Third Prince's wife, her face flushed, nestled in Yun Shao's arms. "Your Highness, the imperial physician said I am pregnant and it is inconvenient for me to serve you."
Yun Shao hugged her tightly, "It's alright, just give birth to the child, and I will make you and the child the most honored people in Yun Qi."
The Third Prince's Consort was taken aback, then overjoyed, and nodded gently, "Your Highness, I will certainly give birth to a son for you."
After the Third Prince's Consort left, Yun Shao's gaze darkened. "Someone come here."
Two figures emerged from the darkness and knelt before Yun Shao, saying, "Your Highness."
"Go to Tianning Temple to get the medicine, then kill Tianyi for me!"
"yes!"
Since we're going to take action, there's no need to keep Tianyi alive.
Anyone who dares to use potent drugs to render him impotent will have to pay the price.
As for Su Ruojin, as long as she doesn't leave Yunqi, let her live for a few more days. Once he takes the throne, he can deal with her and the Zhao family slowly.
Yun Shao would never admit that he felt a strange fear towards Su Ruojin.
Whenever he encountered Su Ruojin, he never got anything good. Before things were done, he dared not touch Su Ruojin for the time being, in case something unexpected happened again.
"Keep an eye on Su Ruojin and don't let her leave Yuncheng."
"yes!"
Su Ruojin was unaware that Yun Shao had people watching her and preventing her from leaving Yuncheng. Even if she knew, it wouldn't matter, since she had no intention of leaving anyway.
Besides, she has more important things to do now and doesn't have time to deal with that impotent man.
Qinniang and Yingzi have disappeared!
"What happened?" Su Ruojin stopped writing and stood up abruptly, her voice tinged with tension.
Ever since she learned that Yan Gang was Qin Niang's husband, she had been on tenterhooks.
This is, after all, Yuncheng. If Princess Anxing discovers any clues and is determined to find out, she can easily locate Qinniang and her son.
The maid who lived in the same courtyard as Qinniang hurriedly said, "Qinniang took Yingzi out today, saying she was going to buy some pastries, but the two of them didn't come back until dinner."
Previously, no matter what Qinniang went out to do, she would always come back by the beginning of the 5 pm at the latest. But today, she was nowhere to be seen until after dinner. Che Bao was crying from hunger. Since there was no wet nurse at home, the maid had no choice but to feed Che Bao some goat milk.
After putting Che Bao to sleep, the little maid became increasingly suspicious and hurriedly ran to report the matter to Su Ruojin, since Qin Niang had always been the one serving the young lady.
Su Ruojin knew Qin Niang's character; she was very sensible and would never abandon Che Bao for any reason.
There's only one possibility: something happened to Qinniang, preventing her from coming back!
As Yanluo and Qinniang spent more time together, their feelings for each other deepened. The sensible and well-behaved Yingzi was also deeply loved by Yanluo. When she heard that the two of them had disappeared, Yanluo was so anxious that she ran around in circles. "Miss, what should we do? I'll go find Miss Zhao right away and ask the Zhao family to help look for them."
After saying that, Yanluo turned to leave.
"Wait!" Su Ruojin called out to Yan Luo.
