gn oneself to fate.Ningshu thought to himself, if he died, would Lichen find a stepmother for Xiao Che He regretted it a little, he should have negotiated an agreement with the other party before this...The carriage was arranged temporarily by Duke Gong, and as soon as the people got in, the coachman drove off immediately.

Ning Shu sat in the carriage, but her heart was a little uneasy. She couldn't help but raise the curtain, and seeing De Gonggong's figure getting farther and farther away, she couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought back to the first time he met Duke De. The other wasn't working in his palace. He had been wrongly accused and framed, that look of desperation reminded him of himself as a child, so he helped.

At that time, Duke Guo remained in his palace.

Ning Shu couldn't help but think, if he left, what would happen to De Gonggong If the Empress Dowager found out, would he still be alive

I couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Ning Shu knew the Empress Dowager's methods were ruthless, and that was precisely why he hesitated. He was afraid that if the Empress Dowager found out that De Gonggong had let him out of the palace, she would be furious... It wasn't impossible.

"Parking..."

Ning Shu's lips trembled slightly, and with that slender white hand, she lifted the curtain and said, "Turn around..."

The coachman said nothing, but drove the carriage on.

Ning Shu felt a sense of foreboding. He couldn't help but continue, "Turn around, I need to go back to the palace."

The charioteer chuckled darkly and ignored his words. The carriage started to bump along the road, and Ning Shu now felt something was amiss. He bumped into the side, clutching his stomach in pain with a pale face.

Her heart pounded with anxiety.

Ning Shu believed that De Gonggong wouldn't harm him, so it must have been an accident. He didn't know who this person belonged to. The jolting feeling of the carriage almost made his stomach come out. He clutched his stomach in a state of panic, fearing something might happen.

The coachman cracked his whip and urged the horses onward.

Ning Shu bit her lip, her face ashen.

He lifted the curtain, his eyes downcast and filled with a hint of trepidation.

My heart was torn.

Ning Shu knew that if he jumped off the carriage, he might...

But if he didn't jump, he might die too.

Just as Ning Shu gritted her teeth, holding her stomach, and was about to jump down. Behind her came the sound of tearing hooves, galloping towards this direction, breaking through the air.

The groom seemed to realize this too, becoming increasingly flustered and speeding up.

He still protected his stomach, but his eyes were somewhat dazed.

He didn't know if his stomach had been hit, he was hazy and drowsy, in between consciousness, he heard the sounds of swords clashing.

A sound of horse hooves fell.

Someone walked in.

Ning Shu couldn't open his eyes, he almost backed away in fear. But he felt himself fall into an embrace, the other person exuded a cold aura.

Then he fainted.

......

Between the beds, lay a handsome young man. Incense burned in the room.

with a hint of reassurance.

Ning Shu had a nightmare. He dreamt that his stomach bled profusely. But he desperately tried to cover it, but the blood wouldn't stop flowing.

He suddenly opened his eyes, but found himself in a strange place.

Ning Shu's expression was pale, somewhat dazed.

The door to the room was pushed open, and a servant walked in, his expression laced with surprise: "Master, you're awake"

Ning Shu instinctively reached out to protect her stomach.

He then realized that his clothes were still intact on him, and the slightly protruding belly was well concealed. He let out a sigh of relief, pursed his lips, and asked in a voice: “Where is this place”

Just as I was about to speak, a steady set of footsteps approached.

Someone entered the room.

Ning Shu raised her eyes and looked.

"My lord," I heard the maidservant say respectfully and anxiously, bowing.

The man stood tall, his dark eyes fixed on the person on the bed. There was a depth in those eyes that Ning Shu couldn't fathom.

He inexplicably felt a twinge of apprehension.

I couldn't help but speak out, "Your Majesty... how could I be here"

Hē Lían Yǔ walked over, her eyes falling on him with an unclear and dark expression.

Ning Shu always felt that the man's gaze was vaguely sweeping over his stomach, he stiffened a little and couldn't help but retreat to the edge of the bed.

He averted his gaze and took a deep breath.

The hand under the sleeve, clenched lightly.

The Regent may not necessarily know...

This matter is too shocking.

Ning Shu forced herself to remain calm, her gaze returned to the man before her, her brow furrowed as she spoke in a measured tone: "Your Highness, why am I here"

Helian Yu dismissed the servants in the room, then walked to his presence, lowering his eyes and saying softly, "Now the imperial palace is searching everywhere for the Emperor. What...is the Emperor doing leaving the palace"

Ning Shu bit her lip.

However, he was slightly relieved, unaware of Helian Yu's thoughts.

Having come to this realization, the tension in his body eased.

With a pale face, and with no one around, he no longer had to be so guarded: "I just have some things to attend to outside the palace."

Hē Lián Yǔ's dark eyes looked over, making it impossible to see the emotions within. He spoke in a low voice, "Since that's the case, the Empress Dowager must be worried about the Emperor's safety. I will send the Emperor back to the palace shortly."

Ning Shu suddenly looked at the person, her hand under her sleeve clenched tightly, and she spoke, "I...don't want to go back."

He pleaded almost desperately, "Please."

Helen Yu sat beside him, asking meaningfully, "Why doesn't Your Majesty want to return to the palace"

Ning Shu's face was pale, he subconsciously touched his belly under the quilt, and felt a little more at ease. His gaze fell on the man, and he said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for saving my life. I... can I leave the Prince's Mansion today"

Helian Yu's face darkened slightly, his eyes narrowed as he stared at him intently and said, "Your Majesty, if you leave now, it's not just the Empress Dowager who will be looking for you, but also others who want to kill you."

Ning Shu's body stiffened slightly, and he remembered the carriage incident.

It is true that some people want him dead.

He couldn't help but glance at the Regent, but who could say for sure that the person before him didn't want to kill him

Ning Shu didn't want to have so many conspiracy theories, but now he wasn't one person, but two.

He was a little uneasy and very frightened.

There was a slight disturbance, and the whole person became like a startled rabbit, extremely vigilant. No one wanted to believe anything anymore.

Helian Yu's face looked a little dark.

He spoke, his voice grave. “You suspect me of wanting to kill you”

That voice carried a hint of anger, along with raspiness.

Ning Shu listened and couldn't help but be taken aback. He almost dared not look at the person before him, his throat moved slightly, and he whispered, "I... I want to leave. If you help me, it will be considered a debt to you."

Actually, I'm a little nervous inside.

He wasn't sure what Helian Yu wanted to do, or why he had saved him, but right now Ning Shu felt like she was floating on water, somewhat unsteady.

Helian Yu looked at him steadily for a while, then stood up. In a low voice, he said: "I disagree, and I will not harm you. The Emperor is at the Prince's Mansion. Rest well."

The Regent turned and left after saying that.

Ning Shu pursed his lips, he lay down in a daze. Then he lifted the two outer garments, revealing his bulging belly.

Then he touched it.

He was a little lost, unsure of what to do. Where should he go As the Regent had said, he might not be able to go anywhere right now, as danger lurked everywhere around him.

Perhaps when he stepped out, what awaited him was the same fate as the carriage passengers today.

Ning Shu closed her eyes, and after a while, she fell asleep again.

When I woke up.

I entered the room and brought in the medicine. I then put it down and said, "Master, this is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. The king ordered that you must drink it."

Ning Shu was slightly taken aback, her eyes fixed on him intently, her heart pounding: "...Doctor"

"Master, what is it"

He became flustered and hurriedly asked, "Doctor... Your Highness... did the doctor come to see me"

I nodded.

Ning Shu's throat was a little dry, his mind blank. After a while, he heard himself asking: "Doctor, what did you say"

I replied, "I don't know."

Ning Shu licked her lips and told her to leave, but she seemed a little dazed.

Will Helian Yu know

Does he know Does he know he's pregnant

Ning Shu hesitated a little, thinking to herself, but looking at the other person's expression and movements, it didn't seem like they knew.

He couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps the wife didn't know she was pregnant, or perhaps she suspected it but wasn't sure, so she kept it a secret.

A stone was lifted from my heart.

Ning Shu's gaze fell on the bowl of soup medicine, a bit hesitant.

He couldn't help but think of the man's dark and deep-set eyes, as if suppressing something. When he looked into them, he felt an inexplicable urge to shrink back.

Ning Shu stared at the bowl of congee, if it were in the past, he might have hesitated a bit.

But now for some reason, he subconsciously felt that Helin Yu might not hurt him.

Just as Ning Shu was about to pick up the medicine, a figure walked in.

"My lord."

A servant girl on the side bowed respectfully.

Ning Shu couldn't help but withdraw her hand.

Helian Yu dismissed his maidservants, then looked over with a frown, his eyes dark as he stared at him, and said, "What, Your Majesty is still afraid that I would poison you inside"

Ning Shu was taken aback by his words, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

Helian Yu walked over, his tall figure carrying a sense of oppression.

The atmosphere around was also heavy with a profound sense of solemnity.

Ning Shu's face paled slightly, and he looked at the man in front of him, involuntarily taking a step back.

Helen Yu's face darkened, her dark eyes seemed to be suppressing something.

He raised his hand, picked up the bowl of medicine, and looked at the young man, saying in a clear voice, “Come here.”

Ning Shu's body stiffened, and he instinctively touched his stomach. He found that his clothes were covering it very tightly, so he hesitated before leaning closer.

Helian Yu's dark eyes stared at him deeply. "Does Your Majesty fear that his belly will be discovered by his subjects"king about.And Ning Shu over there, unexpectedly gained a bit of goodwill from Shen Wuzun. He couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, what was going on He had actually brushed up on Sikong Hengyu's...
