Ye Laosi and Lan Yue were extremely embarrassed; they did not expect Zhan Bai to appear suddenly.

Lan Yue's face was tense. It was this person who had pressed her acupoints before, so she knew that she was no match for Zhan Bai.

Ye Laosi has always been shrewd and cunning. He is definitely the one who runs the fastest when he sees a threat. At this moment, looking at Zhan Bai, he didn't have time to think too much and stood directly in front of Lan Yue.

"Zhan Bai, what a coincidence. I couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk. It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Ye Laosi greeted awkwardly.

Lan Yue felt warm in her heart. In the past, when she encountered danger, this guy always hid behind her, but this time he actually took the initiative to stand in front of her, which made Lan Yue look at him with admiration.

"I came out to use the toilet and happened to hear the noise, so I came over to take a look." Zhan Bai answered truthfully.

"Oh, I just heard the Regent say he wanted to look for you, so he asked Su Ruoan to go find you. Didn't he meet you?" Ye Laosi made an excuse.

Zhan Bai frowned: "The Regent is looking for me?"

"Of course. It seems very urgent. I just heard it. Why don't you go over and take a look. What if it's a big deal?" Ye Laosi answered tentatively.

"Then I'll be leaving first." Zhan Bai turned and left, but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Lao Si took a deep breath and said, "I was scared to death. Fortunately, I was smart."

Lan Yue couldn't believe it: "He just left like that? He let us go?"

"Do you still want him to catch us? The Regent is his master. If the Regent farts, the whole Cangyue Kingdom will tremble. He, a guard, will certainly not dare to be negligent. Stop talking nonsense, let's retreat quickly!" Ye Laosi stretched out his hand to grab Lan Yue and walked away.

Lan Yue didn't have time to think about it and followed him immediately.

Zhan Bai curled his lips in the dark. This Ye Lao Si was really outspoken. He deliberately let them leave. Otherwise, with these two people's skills, how could they get out of the Regent's Palace.

Ye Laosi pulled Lan Yue out of the Regent's Palace smoothly. Looking at the dark street with no one on it and the cold wind blowing, Ye Laosi felt very depressed.

"Where are we going now?" Lan Yue asked.

"We definitely can't stay in the capital. Once the Regent and the others find out that we are missing, they will definitely look for us everywhere. So we have to leave the capital." Ye Laosi replied.

"You're not going back to the Ye family?"

"I do want to go back, but what can you do? My sister is very hostile to you. What if you are in danger outside? I am not such a mean person." Ye Laosi explained.

Lan Yue was a little more touched: "Then where are we going?"

"Let's leave the capital and stay out of the spotlight for a while."

"good."

Before leaving, Ye Lao Si went to the Ye family's shop and took out 50,000 taels of silver notes: "Come on, I will take you to travel around the world, eat, drink and have fun."

Lan Yue was amused by him and followed him away.

Regent's Palace.

Ye Xingchen was a little surprised when he heard that the two men had left Beijing. He saw that he had scared his fourth brother.

However, when Ye Xingchen heard that Ye Lao Si had taken out 50,000 taels of silver notes, he felt relieved. With money on hand, what was there to be afraid of? It turned out that Fourth Brother was not someone who would put himself in a difficult position.

When the Ye family got the news and knew that Ye Laosi had passed away, they didn't ask any more questions.

"The fourth child is so old now, he must have his own ideas. Besides, he has been traveling all over the country for so many years, he won't be in danger. Maybe next time he comes back, he will bring his grandson back with him." Ye's father comforted.

"That's right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Now I am just looking forward to Xingchen giving birth to the baby safely and smoothly." Ye's mother sighed.

Five months passed in a blink of an eye, and Ye Xingchen's belly grew bigger.

On this day, Cang Boyi accompanied Ye Xingchen for a walk and happened to meet Su Qianmian who was accompanying the emperor on a private visit.

Su Qianmian and the emperor both looked at Ye Xingchen's belly. Looking at the bulging abdomen, both of them felt very uncomfortable.

"Uncle, Xingchen and you have also come to the east of the city." The emperor spoke first.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Cang Boyi and Ye Xingchen said together.

"No need to be polite."

"Greetings, Prince Regent." Su Qianmian spoke, but he did not mention the princess.

Although he knew that Ye Xingchen was married to Cang Boyi and was now pregnant, Su Qianmian still didn't want to say the word "Princess".

"Lord Su encourages you." Cang Boyi replied indifferently.

Ye Xingchen didn't mind and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, why did you have time to come out with Lord Su today?"

She hadn't seen the emperor for several months. Previously, Ye Xingchen had developed a pill that could completely detoxify the emperor and had it sent directly to the palace.

When I saw the emperor again, he looked in good spirits. Before, due to long-term poisoning, his face was pale and his body was thin. Now he was a little fatter than before and looked more mature and stable.

"The weather is good today. Su Qianmian suggested that I go out for a walk to learn about the customs and culture of Cangyue Kingdom. I always sit in the palace and have no idea what the lives of the people are like." The emperor replied.

"That's true. Only by seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears can you understand the needs of the people and know how to sympathize with them." Ye Xingchen said.

"Yes, I just want to do something for the people of Cangyue Kingdom in my lifetime." The emperor explained.

Ye Xingchen was very pleased: "Your Majesty, you will be a wise ruler."

The emperor smiled calmly: "I am just trying my best. As for you, I haven't seen you for several months. You look a lot fatter. How are you in your health? Are you having a hard time?"

At this moment, Ye Xingchen's cheeks had a lot more flesh, his face was rosy, his eyes were smiling, and his three thousand strands of hair were tied up with just a jade hairpin, casual and simple.

The white dress was extremely loose, but it did not make her look fat at all. Instead, it added a bit of plump beauty. It was obvious that the emperor's uncle treated her very well.

"It's been seven months. It's really hard to be pregnant. The little one always kicks me, and I have to rest after walking for a while." Ye Xingchen said truthfully.

"It's so naughty! You must teach it a lesson when it is born." The emperor joked.

"Yes, the Regent often says so." Ye Xingchen agreed.

Cang Boyi looked at the gentle look the emperor gave Ye Xingchen, his face a little cold: "I heard that Your Majesty has not yet selected a concubine. Your Majesty is not young anymore, it's time to expand the royal family."

One sentence instantly froze the atmosphere.

The emperor's smile froze, and he coughed twice in embarrassment: "I'm not in a hurry."

"You are the emperor of Cangyue Kingdom. You are related to the survival of the entire Cangyue Kingdom. This is not a matter of urgency." Cang Boyi deliberately reminded.

Su Qianmian on the side couldn't help but complain in his heart that the Regent was really vicious and treacherous, and was indeed a jealous person.

But he didn't dare say this, in case the regent targeted him.

Ye Xingchen thought this was a good idea: "Yes, Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for so long, it is indeed time to consider concubines. Maybe we can even have a baby marriage."
