C109

This was also what Nan Yue's heart wished for. She wanted Nan Yue to help her leave this place. She had never thought that one day, she would see the usually strong and open-minded Nan Yue crying in front of her in such despair and grief.

She would be weak, she would be sad, she would need pain, and she would need attention. In the past, it had been her negligence, but now, she only hoped that there would be enough time for her to recover from her painful experience to her original state.

Tuoba Rui calmly looked into her eyes. He clenched his fists and said word by word, "Unless I die, no one can take her away!"

Every word contained certainty. Ye Qingqing's body trembled and her face turned pale. She said that unless he died, no one could take her away. Was this insistence only because she was his wangfei?

Lowering her eyes, she clenched her fists tightly. A sinister light flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Tuoba Yu stood behind Shen Zhiqiao the entire time. His phoenix eyes looked thoughtfully at Ye Qingqing, who had her head lowered. His eyes narrowed and his thin lips sunk slightly.

He was tall and straight, and she could not compare him to the time when he was weak on the day of his wedding with Nan Yue. She did not care whether he was pretending or not, but she could guarantee that if he were to die, it would take at least a hundred or eighty years, because they all said that he was a thousand years old!

Thus, he had made it clear that he would not let Nan Yue off.

She did not understand what was going on in their man's mind. Despite having a lover by his side, they insisted on tying the other one to their side. What were they plotting? A sense of accomplishment or possessiveness?

And there was also that elder brother of Nan Yue's. She didn't believe that he didn't know or care about her current situation. Perhaps he didn't care, but she wasn't the one he cared about the most.

Previously, when Qi Mujing cheated her, she thought she was the most pitiful person in the world. Now, she felt that Nan Yue was even more pitiful than her.

Sometimes you seem to have everything, family, husband, wealth... Children, however, were more despairing than anything else!

Shen Zhi Qiao was not afraid of his words. Raising his head, he said one word at a time, "What if I say that I must bring her away?!"

No matter what, she must bring her away today!

As she was thinking, she suddenly turned around and kneeled in front of Tuoba Yu, both hands on the ground. "Your Majesty, please grant me your grace!"

Seeing that she was kneeling down to him again, Tuoba Yu's eyes darkened. He clenched his fists and said with a hint of anger, "You … get up!"

She was the person he loved. Anyone could kneel to him, and he could endure anyone's kowtowing. Only she could not!

"If the emperor doesn't agree, then I won't get up!" Shen Zhi Qiao said, and even knocked his head against the ground.

Her lips tightened into a straight line as she bent down with a face full of dark energy, grabbing onto her slender arm to pull her up. However, Shen Zhi Qiao did not give up and used both of his hands to borrow some strength from the ground, unable to get up even if he died. He repeated in a choked voice, "Your majesty, please grant me your blessing!"

Tuoba Yu suddenly felt slightly resentful towards her stubbornness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll agree!" He flung her hand angrily and stood up, looking down at her from above. His sexy lips faintly curled into a self-deprecating smile. "You, you have a grudge with This Emperor!"

"…" Shen Zhi Qiao bit his lips. An apologetic look could clearly be seen in his eyes. He slowly stood up and lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Ming.

Unexpectedly, he actually agreed. Nan Jue and Tuoba Rui were both startled.

"Your majesty, this is this subject's family matter. I hope that Your Majesty will not interfere!" Green veins popped out on Tuoba Rui's forehead. His eyes were still sharp when facing Tuoba. He knelt before him with his back straightened, showing his unyielding attitude.

Tuoba Yu glanced at him indifferently, "King Rui, there's no need to say anymore. We have already decided. "After Princess Rui's body recovers, I'll send Princess Rui back to her residence!"

Tuoba Yu's words had two meanings. He granted Shen Zhiqiao's request, then gave Tuoba Rui a promise. In the end, Nan Yue still had to return to the Rui King's Manor.

This Ninth Brother of his had never blushed with him over anything before, but now, for the first time ever, he refused to back down for the sake of Nan Yue. Feng Tong smiled to himself; perhaps he fell in love with someone else and didn't know it!

He was talking about King Rui, not Nine … Therefore, there was no turning back now.

"…" Tuoba Rui closed his eyes and a trace of discouragement flashed across his face.

However, things always turned around unexpectedly.

Just as Shen Zhiqiao was fully confident that he could bring Nan Yue away, he was crushed by Lou Lan's gentle words.

"Rui Wangfei is weak and cannot be moved right now. If you don't want the child you just saved to be gone again, you can try and touch her!"

Lou Lan's voice came from the door. His tone was light, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

"…" Shen Zhi Qiao was stupefied. Very quickly, she was attracted by his words, "The child has been saved. The result of selectively forgetting her struggles is about to become useless. Surprise filled her clear eyes. She turned to Lou Lan and asked," The child has been saved, is he still alive? "

Lou Lan shot her a glance but did not reply.

There was a trace of doubt lurking in his pale lake eyes. When he had been taking Princess Rui's pulse, her pulse had been strange. The child was sure it was safe, but the pulse of an adult was erratic, something he had never encountered in all his years of practice.

The tail of the eye calmly looked at the bed behind him, and the light in his eyes flickered.

The moment Tuoba Rui heard that the child would be saved, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, and his tightly clenched fists also relaxed.

After Ye Qingqing heard Lou Lan's words, she kept her attention on Tuoba Rui. Her relaxed expression was reflected in her eyes one by one. The shadow of her peerless beauty appeared as her eyes shot towards the house. On the way back to the palace, two luxurious carriages drove through the silent darkness. There was only the sound of large hooves.

One of the carriages had an enormous luminous pearl inside it. Silver light glimmered on the bodies of the two people sitting across from it.

Shen Zhiqiao was still unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it. Lou Lan had said it like that, so how could she insist on sending Nanyue to the palace?

She was just worried that she would miss this opportunity. Next time, it would be difficult to get her out of the Prince's Mansion.

Tuoba Yu's handsome face was a little dark, and a pair of phoenix eyes shone with a dark fire. She had her head lowered, and a pair of little hands on her knees, as she thoughtfully twirled her ten fingers, completely disregarding him, while her black eyes darkened even further, and her cold lips turned stiff. Suddenly, he reached out his hand to pull up someone who was deep in thought, fixed his fingers on her legs, hooked up her lower jaw, and stared at her without saying a word.

Shen Zhi Qiao was slightly surprised. She reflexively grabbed onto the clothes on his chest and looked at him with doubt in her eyes.

When he saw the hidden anger in Shi Yan's beautiful eyes, Shen Zhiqiao's back stiffened and his lips trembled. "Tuoba Yu, you …"

Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes and interrupted her. "You don't have anything to say to me?"
