"What's wrong?"
"Xingnan and Xiao Ningzi have known each other for less than a month. If she is really pregnant, it wouldn't show up so quickly. We should be cautious about this matter."
"My lady, didn't you see it? Xiao Ningzi has just admitted it. If he hadn't done it, would he admit it?"
"No matter what, it's better to let the imperial physician confirm it. I always feel that Xiao Ningzi wouldn't be so careless as to do things without considering the seriousness of the matter. Besides, he has never been in a relationship with anyone, so how could he dare to do something like that with Xingnan in such a short time?"
"That's impossible. When love is deep, it will naturally come to fruition. I was originally thinking that if they really fell in love, I would recognize Xiao Ningzi as my sworn brother. The emperor's sworn brother and Princess Xingnan would marry each other, which would be legitimate. Who would have thought that he would be so impatient and do such a thing? Now the eldest princess will definitely hold on to this matter. I really don't know what to do."
"So...what are you going to do about Yongning?"
Leng Yu looked at her with shrewd eyes.
"Yongning is a simple-minded person. She is definitely not capable of doing these things. So I thought I would leave her alone for a few days and deal with this matter when the time is right."
"My husband, are you suspicious of Yongping?"
Leng Yu pulled out a helpless smile from the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't want to doubt her, but the facts are there. I've been thinking these past few days that if they wanted to harm me, I could forgive them for what they did, considering they married far away in Nanping and have had a hard time these years. But they chose to harm you, and that's something I absolutely cannot tolerate."
Luo Lan nestled in his arms gratefully, murmuring tiredly,
"Husband, I'm sleepy, let's go to bed!"
"Okay, nothing is as important as sleeping with my wife."
After saying that, he put her on the bed and helped her adjust to a comfortable position. Then he took off his shoes and coat and lay down beside her.
In order to prevent touching her injured leg, he tried to lean his body outwards every night when he went to bed.
Luo Lan always reminded him that the injured leg was not near him and he didn't need to be so scared, but he still refused to get too close to her. He was really afraid of touching her wound and hurting her.
…
The next morning
Before attending the morning court, Leng Yu came to the place where Xiao Ningzi was imprisoned.
Xiao Ningzi did not sleep a wink that night. At this time, he did not realize the seriousness of the situation. He just thought that it was because he rejected Princess Xingnan that Princess Xingnan became ill, and that was why Princess Yongping came to cause trouble for him with so many people.
He blamed himself for provoking Princess Xingnan. As long as it was related to her, he would suffer the consequences.
Hearing the sound of the door lock falling, he hurriedly looked towards the door.
When he saw the emperor coming in, he hurried forward to pay his respects.
"emperor……"
After Leng Yu came in, he ordered Qin Shun to close the door from the outside. He looked at Xiao Ningzi with a serious expression.
"How was your night?"
"Thanks to the Emperor, I'm doing fine."
"So, if I drag you to the execution ground at three o'clock this afternoon, do you have any complaints?"
These words made Xiao Ningzi feel like a thunderbolt struck his head, and it took him a long time to recover.
He thought the emperor was joking with him, and immediately scratched his head with laughter.
"Even if I am willing, the Emperor will not be willing to do so."
"Don't be so playful."
Leng Yu's expression turned serious, and Xiao Ningzi suddenly realized that the emperor might not be joking with him.
He immediately knelt on his knees, bewildered.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Ningzi has been by your side for many years, working diligently and not daring to make even the slightest mistake. Why did Your Majesty want to kill Xiao Ningzi?"
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Leng Yu sighed deeply.
"Don't you know what you've done?"
"I didn't do anything. Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't be criticized."
Leng Yu walked slowly to the table, sat down with her clothes swung, and looked at him angrily.
"Xiao Ningzi, you said you were usually careful and cautious, so how could you make such a big mistake this time? If you have any ideas, you can tell me. I will find a way to make the decision for you. But you actually secretly bullied Princess Xingnan. Princess Xingnan is the princess of Nanping State, not an ordinary palace maid. Do you think that because she is pregnant with your child, you can sit back and marry her without any worries?"
"etc……"
Listening to Leng Yu's words, Xiao Ningzi became more and more confused. He blinked his eyes to stop him.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Who made Princess Xingnan pregnant? Who secretly bullied her?"
"You...you still want to deny it?"
this……
Xiao Ningzi immediately felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs. When did he bully Princess Xingnan? When did he get her pregnant?
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Who is framing me? This is not true."
"No? Could it be that Princess Xingnan would sacrifice her own reputation to frame you?"
"But……"
Xiao Ningzi looked at Leng Yu with a face full of grievance.
"But I didn't do that. Even if she did have a child, it definitely wasn't mine. I can't take the blame for this!"
Xiao Ningzi's words made Leng Yu's face suddenly serious. He looked at him and questioned him word by word.
"This matter really has nothing to do with you? You didn't bully Princess Xingnan?"
Xiao Ningzi raised his right hand with a resolute attitude.
"Xiao Ningzi swears to heaven that I have never bullied Princess Xingnan. Please, Your Majesty, investigate and clear my name."
