Chapter 716
The matter proceeded in an orderly manner. Three days later, King Yue was sitting in the car with Mu Yunyao, and his eyes swept across her lower abdomen from time to time. With a single glance, the smile on his face grew wider: He has a child, a child that belongs to him and Yunyao.
It looked like it was about to spill out.
Mu Yunyao couldn't help but glare at him, "Master Four, don't look around and laugh so obviously. If you get off the carriage later, you can't reveal any flaws."
It had already been three days and King Fu was still in a foolish and happy state. The Emperor and Empress had laughed at him countless times, but he didn't seem to mind at all. Yue Yang nodded his head, doing his best to make his expression turn serious. Unfortunately, after a while, he still could not stop himself from smiling, "Yao'er, he must have heard of the two of us talking about our child the other day. That's why he came to take a look." This child was like a gift from heaven, making him think …
Just the thought of it made him wonder.
Mu Yunyao felt that no matter what she said now, she wouldn't be able to extinguish the small flame of joy in Yue Yang's heart, so she simply let him do as he pleased.
King Yue hugged Mu Yunyao, letting her lean on his shoulder. "Yao`er, rest for a while. I've heard that people who are pregnant are all addicted to sleeping."
Mu Yunyao really wanted to say that they also needed to be separated. Moreover, she was currently in her second month of pregnancy, so she couldn't feel anything abnormal. However, when she saw King Yue's serious expression, she sighed in her heart and leaned on his shoulder, lightly closing her eyes. After that, he reached out his hands to embrace Mu Yunyao in his embrace. Both his palms intersected as he placed her on top of his lower abdomen. The love and doting look in his eyes became increasingly stronger: "His child is already in Yao'er's stomach. She will be out to meet him in nine months."
Mid...
When he thought about how that child would grow up to be like Yao'er and call him daddy, he felt like his heart was beating uncontrollably. Sometimes it would fly up to the horizon, and sometimes it would sink to the bottom.
He fell into a daze. In the blink of an eye, the carriage had stopped.
Yu Heng reported softly, "Your highness, wangfei, we've already arrived at the mansion's entrance."
Mu Yunyao opened her eyes. She was currently swaying and really felt a little sleepy.
Yue Yang restrained his expression and looked at Mu Yunyao's face that was painstakingly smeared with makeup. He gently tidied up her hair for her. "Yao`er, we're here."
"Yes." Mu Yunyao wrapped her arms around King Yue's neck, allowing him to carry her out of the carriage. Replacing it was a boundless, cold killing intent. The guard guarding the door fell to his knees with a thump, not daring to raise his head, and only when King Qian was far away did he finally hesitate to stand up. He touched his forehead, and without even realizing it, he had unknowingly stood up.
He broke out in a cold sweat.
The men who were sent to watch over the Residence of Yue quietly retreated and used secret channels to deliver the news to Tu Ma.
After reading the contents of the letter, Tu Ao could not help but frown.
"Milord, is there something wrong?" The envoys from the northern border quickly asked.
Tu Ao shook his head. "Things have changed, the spies in the palace have heard the news, saying that there was a dispute from the Jade Glow Palace, and even King Fu had a fight with the Emperor. After that, the empress fell ill, and the number of imperial guards around the Starlight Palace increased by a factor of one, what do you think happened?" The envoys from the northern border pondered for a moment before speaking hesitantly, "Your excellency, the empress couldn't have beaten up the child of the Yuwai Royal Concubine, right?" That was the reason why King Yue had crossed swords with the Emperor and told him that the Empress was sick so that he could protect her and prevent her from getting sick.
King Yue impulsively killed the Empress. Tu Ao stood up and walked around the room: "It's not certain yet, but the relationship between the King and the Emperor should have been completely broken off. Send the letter that I wrote to the Residence of the King of Yue, be careful, the area around the mansion should be filled with the Emperor's spies, so don't disturb them.
"
"Yes."
When Mu Yunyao returned to the palace, she gradually relaxed her tensed mood. Wei Jiu appeared and reported, "Mistress, everything is going according to your plan. The spy from the northern border has already sent the news back to the inn, and now Tu Ma is sending a letter over to you. It won't be long before it reaches the prince."
"Alright, move your manpower properly so that the messenger won't notice anything strange."
"Yes."
Duke Yue tidied up the blankets on Mu Yunyao's body and instructed people to boil some medicine. After watching her drink, he felt a bit more at ease: "Yao`er, is our son obedient?"
Mu Yunyao smiled and was about to tell him that the child was Yue Yue right now, so she couldn't detect any movement at all. She raised her head and met his worried eyes, then suddenly changed the topic and pulled his hand to place on her lower abdomen: "The child is very well-behaved."
The matter of falling into the water had scared King Yue. He had to tightly hold her hands even when she slept these past few days. Sometimes, he would wake up in the middle of the night and had to make sure that she was alright before falling asleep again.
The Winged King let out an indiscernible sigh of relief and helped Mu Yunyao lie down, "Yao`er, you should rest for a while. I need to go arrange some people." There were many aspects that could not be ignored in order for this scene to be realistic. It required exceptionally serious consideration.
"Alright, Fourth Master, be careful."
Not long after King Yue left, Mu Yunyao sat up. She had been told to rest well in the Imperial Palace for the past two days. She felt like her bones were about to give way, but now, she wasn't sleepy at all.
"Jin Lan?"
Upon hearing the voice, Jin Lan hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. "Esteemed wangfei, your servant is here."
"For the past few days, I have been staying with King Yue in the palace. Has anything happened in the mansion?" After the prince and his wife left, the mansion was more or less at peace. Eunuch Cheng carefully managed the household and nothing major happened; he only captured two servants and left after being punished by Eunuch Cheng. Also, he came to look for the imperial concubine once and heard that you entered the palace.
After that, I went back to my own courtyard and stayed there. I didn't come out at all. "
Six taels?
Last time, his injuries had been very serious. Even though she and the woman had taken care of him, he had barely recovered by now, so he hadn't been able to find out what had happened recently.
"Send someone to take a look at the six or two courtyards. If he has nothing to do, let him see me."
"Yes, Princess."
In a small courtyard built on its own, Liu Ming held a long sword in his hands as he repeatedly slashed with the sword. Sweat dripped from his forehead as veins could be seen on his forehead. He seemed to be enduring a heavy pain.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard. He looked over and saw CaiYi put the teapot and the pastries on the table.
His brows furrowed as he stopped what he was doing, but there was no trace of emotion in his eyes. "You don't have to do this."
Cai Yi raised her eyes, didn't care about his cold expression at all. With a trace of a faint smile on her lips, she slowly said, "It's your business whether you eat or not, and whether I send you off or not. I can't care about you, so you don't need to worry about me.
Liu Ruyue continued to wave the sword in her hand, no longer having the slightest bit of attention. It was as she had said, even if you didn't care about me, I wouldn't care about you.
Cai Yi smiled and said, "Princess, you've returned home." His six arms trembled as if they were completely exhausted. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
