When Bai Meng walked out of the East Palace, his legs were trembling. He was so frightened by Xiao Xuan's imposing aura that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
Fortunately, His Highness did not make things difficult for me; I must have been overthinking it.
That scene must not have been witnessed, otherwise he would not be alive today.
As night deepened, a gentle breeze swept through the tent curtains, creating ripples, and the people inside nestled closely together.
The man was wearing a light blue nightgown, with the collar slightly open, revealing his strong and powerful muscles.
His face was cool and handsome, but there was a hint of dark and ambiguous color in his eyes.
Ning Yin was held in his arms with one hand, her long, thick black hair spreading out beside him, carrying a faint scent of herbs.
She was more than two months pregnant, and Xiao Xuan had not tasted meat for more than two months.
He used to dislike women, but since meeting Ning Yin, Xiao Xuan has learned what it means to be moved.
Later, the two were completely honest with each other, and he became even more enamored with the person, wishing he could keep her by his side at all times.
"Ah Ning, you'll always be with me, right?"
Xiao Xuan's voice was clear and crisp. Only when he was with Ning Yin would he let down his guard, shed his majesty and coldness, and simply be a gentle and considerate husband.
He rested his chin on one hand, while the other hand gently caressed the woman's slender waist.
It has to be said that Ning Yin has indeed lost a lot of weight recently, and her ribs are now clearly visible.
He had been jealous of Ning Yin for letting Bai Meng covet her during the day, but at this moment, all of that jealousy vanished.
His Ah Ning was willing to give birth to a prince for him even though she was unwell, so how could he be jealous over something like this?
It was that lowly imperial physician who had inappropriate thoughts, not A-Ning's fault.
Ning Yin noticed that Xiao Xuan was acting strangely, so she turned around and moved her body a little closer to the man.
The little girl nestled against Xiao Xuan's chest, feeling the man's steady and powerful heartbeat. Suddenly, she looked up, her beautiful, watery eyes meeting Xiao Xuan's deep pupils.
"My husband, I will always be with you, grow old together, and never be separated."
She reached out and touched Xiao Xuan's handsome profile, her eyes narrowing as she smiled faintly, "Husband, are you jealous?"
Before Xiao Xuan could speak, she noticed that the man's brows furrowed.
Xiao Xuan snorted, rubbed her fair cheeks, and thought to himself, "You little ingrate, you know I'm jealous, yet you still let Bai Meng hold your hand."
"Actually, I only see Bai Meng as a younger brother, really."
"Is he really just a younger brother?"
Ning Yin stared with her big, innocent eyes and nodded quickly.
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly: "Since he is a younger brother, then I will send him out of the palace. As his brother-in-law, I should also find him a marriage. After all, he is not getting any younger."
"Is what my husband said true?"
Ning Yin knew that Bai Meng had some feelings for her, and she hoped that Bai Meng could forget her and find his own true love.
The inner palace is a place full of intrigue and treachery; a moment's carelessness could cost you your life.
Xiao Xuan was always gentle and tender towards himself, but he was always ruthless towards others.
Xiao Xuan already knew Bai Meng's intentions, and if there were a next time, Xiao Xuan would probably not spare his life.
Seeing that the man did not respond, she tilted her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with expectation.
"Of course I'm serious. Since Aning has brought it up, I will naturally find him a good marriage."
Xiao Xuan originally wanted to kill Bai Meng, but when he saw the pleading look in Ning Yin's eyes, he softened.
She was a kind-hearted person and absolutely did not want to see Bai Meng die like that.
Well then, since A-Ning has said so, it won't hurt to spare his life. Sending him out of the palace and finding him a woman is the greatest favor I can do.
Bai Meng should also feel fortunate that he didn't take his life.
After making the decision, Xiao Xuan patted Ning Yin's head. His Ning Yin always considered others in everything she did.
From now on, in this imperial city, he can only work even harder to protect her and ensure her safety and well-being.
He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to Ningyin's ear, and said in a deep, resonant voice, "Ning, it's so good to have you by my side..."
He pulled her closer to him, and Ningyin's nightgown had somehow fallen halfway down, their skin pressed tightly together.
Feeling Ning Yin's softness, Xiao Xuan's heart trembled, and a surge of desire emanated from his body.
"You little brat, because of you, I have to wait another six months, sigh..."
He sighed deeply, looking at Ning Yin's slightly protruding belly with a mournful expression, looking extremely aggrieved.
It's no wonder he was wrong. With Ning Yin's ethereal beauty, no one could remain rational all the time, especially when they were lying together in such an ambiguous position.
Ning Yin understood the meaning behind his words, and her cheeks flushed red.
“A-Ning is about to become a mother, there’s no need to be so shy.”
"But could you, Aning, help your husband?"
Xiao Xuan whispered in his ear, gently pulling Ning Yin's hand down.
The next morning, Xiao Xuan got up early and first went to the martial arts field to practice his skills. Then he called Chen Dechang over and gave him some instructions.
"Chen Dechang, go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and convey my imperial decree that Bai Meng must leave the palace by noon today, otherwise I will not show him any mercy."
Chen Dechang respectfully agreed, and then quickly went to the Imperial Hospital with Xiao Xuan's edict.
At this moment, Bai Meng was brewing medicine for Ning Yin in the pharmacy, thinking that he would take the opportunity to deliver it to Xiao Xuan when he went to the morning court.
The next second, Chen Dechang kicked open the pharmacy door, and a eunuch's shrill voice rang out.
"Bai Meng, this is His Highness's decree! Kneel down at once!"
Bai Meng's face turned pale immediately, but he quickly knelt down.
"By His Highness's decree, Bai Meng, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, is deemed unsuitable to continue serving in the Imperial Medical Academy due to insufficient ability. He is hereby ordered to leave the palace before noon today."
After Chen Dechang finished speaking, he winked at the two eunuchs behind him, and the two eunuchs quickly stepped forward to drag Bai Meng away.
Bai Meng then realized that yesterday's events had been exposed and that Xiao Xuan was going to expel him from the palace. But he still didn't want to leave like this, as he hadn't been able to see Ning Yin one last time.
Bai Meng opened his mouth, still wanting to try and defend himself.
"May I ask, Your Excellency, how does this humble subject…?"
Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was stuffed with a tattered rag by the eunuch.
Chen Dechang scoffed lightly, flicked his whisk, and bowed slightly.
"Bai Meng, we all think His Highness has done more than enough this time, but you are ungrateful. So I will deal with you myself on His Highness's behalf!"
