In the alley not far from the manor, a luxurious carriage quietly stopped.

Inside the carriage, Ye Qingqing's face flickered with various emotions. She clenched her sleeves tightly and revealed a very careful and gentle smile, "My prince, didn't you promise to spend your days with Qing Qing? Why are we going back to the Residence? "

Tuoba Rui's eagle eyes were filled with malaria. He slightly hooked his fingers under her beautiful lower jaw and leaned towards her with a handsome face. His cold lips almost touched hers.

"This king suddenly thought of the past few days, when His Excellency Prime Minister, who is This King's father-in-law, has spoken to This King about not seeing his beloved daughter for a long time. Did he miss her greatly?" "Qingqing is the most filial. Today, I might as well return to the Prime Minister's Estate to accompany this king's father-in-law for his birthday. It can also soothe his yearning …"

Ye Qingqing's lips moved, she wanted to say something.

Tuoba Rui suddenly shook his hand away from her jaw and lightly patted her face. "Did Ben Wang say before that Ben Wang is the most filial and filial of women …"

"…" Ye Qingqing's face turned red, but she couldn't refute him.

If she insisted on having him accompany her, she would admit that she had no filial piety. If she let him leave, then she would be very unwilling.

Tuoba Rui's eagle eyes flickered when he saw her like this. He suddenly flipped his sleeves and left the carriage.

Seeing him get off the carriage, Ye Qingqing opened the curtain and looked out. She only saw his straight back heading straight to the Prince's Mansion.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as her fingers that were wrapped around the carriage suddenly started to hate him. However, the one who hated him even more was the woman that forced her way into their relationship. Clenching her teeth, that woman … He must not live!

Shen Zhiqiao relied on his memories to walk to the Wind and Rain Yard. The courtyard was even more desolate than the first time she came. There wasn't a single person around, and the door was still open …

With a raise of her heart, she quickly ran inside. She lifted the veil covering the bed and her pupils shrank. The bed was empty …

She bit her lips to think for a moment. Had Tuoba Rui found out and moved her somewhere else?!

Lou Lan had said before that she couldn't move around as she pleased. Since she wasn't here, did that mean her condition had improved?!

But where would Tuoba send her?

She had left the palace and successfully entered the palace. She would definitely not go out without seeing Nan Yue.

As she thought of this, she hurriedly turned around and was about to walk out of the room, but she didn't expect to see a light green figure at the door with his back facing her.

Liu Mei folded her wings and slowly walked up. Before she could say anything, someone spoke up, "Something happened to Nan Yue?" Although he tried to keep his voice calm, one could still hear the thick gloom in his voice.

Shen Zhi Qiao remained silent.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, she wanted to tell him about the situation with Nan Yue at the men's prison. But she knew that the person who didn't want anyone to know about her current situation was definitely Vietnam, so after hesitating for a long time, she didn't tell him that she didn't want him to notice her at the men's prison.

Yuejian didn't hear her reply and turned to look at her with a cold, long gaze. "What happened to her?"

She hadn't seen her go to the men's prison for half a month. Previously, when she left, she told him that she needed to stay at the palace for a period of time.

These days, he hadn't seen her. He had always thought that she was living in the palace until today, but today, he had seen her best friend, but he hadn't seen her.

Because he hadn't heard from her for many days, he wanted to chase after her and ask her how she was doing. He didn't expect her to directly head to the manor …

She could have gone to the King's Manor in the open, but she had to avoid Tuoba Rui …

In Dongling City, Nan Yue was actually the same as her. They didn't have any other friends apart from each other, just like how Nan Yue came to the palace for her, and her going to the palace was definitely related to her, so he was almost certain that she had already returned.

The men's prison was Nan Yue's hard work. It was impossible for her to leave the palace and not go to the men's prison to see what was going on. With her hesitant and worried expression, he was almost certain that something had happened in the south!

His tone clearly confirmed the fact that something had happened to Nan Yue, and she wanted to cover it up by hiding it.

However, she did not say that her child was nearly lost because of Tuoba Rui. After all, as a woman, when facing the man who once deeply loved her, she would usually show her happiness, and would never reveal her misfortune to him.

After hearing this, Yuejian fell into a long silence. His expression was one of serenity that she had not expected. He lowered his head, and his long eyelashes perfectly covered up the emotions in his eyes.

After a long while, he moved his lips as if he was about to say something, but a voice came from the entrance of the courtyard even faster than him.

"Who are you people …"

The moment his voice came out, the last word seemed to grind on his throat before it disappeared. Shen Zhi Qiao's heart skipped a beat, he turned his gaze over, only to see a few men dressed in uniform, who looked like the guards of the Royal Palace, sprawled out in front of the courtyard door.

Suddenly, her breathing became sluggish as she looked in disbelief at Yuejian. Just now, she had absentmindedly seen a faint blue halo pop out from his fingertip. That light was definitely not Zhen Qi, but more like some kind of hidden weapon.

Furthermore, she had never heard from Nan Yue that in addition to the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Vietnam also knew how to use force!

Noticing that she was looking at him with a complicated expression, Viet Nam frowned slightly. He clenched his hand into a fist and walked out. "Follow me. Maybe I know where Nan Yue is …"

Shen Zhi Qiao did not move. He looked at the people at the entrance of the courtyard and asked in a tight voice, "You killed them?"

"I just pointed out their sleeping place. They'll wake up in a quarter of an hour. "Ah!"

Hearing his reply, Shen Zhi Qiao let out a sigh of relief. She lifted her skirt and quickly followed him.

The Li Residence.

When Nan Yue had just sat down on the headboard with the help of her servant, she saw that someone, who was originally going to accompany her lover in celebration for the birthday, had pushed aside the beaded curtain in the inner room and walked in.

Tuoba Rui saw through her guard and his handsome eyebrows shot up in displeasure. He strode towards her. "What do you think today? Are you feeling better? "

The maidservant who was waiting for him at the foot of her bed bowed, blessed him, and withdrew.

Nan Yue looked at him coldly, her voice was still weak, but it was much stronger than the last few days, "I was much better. If you hadn't appeared in front of me, I think I would have recovered much faster!"

"…" Tuoba Rui pursed his lips and glared at her with eagle-like eyes. "If it wasn't for the fact that the seed in your stomach belongs to me, you would be begging me now …" He swept a glance at her face, which had been stripped of its shape due to the continuous torture of her body. His face was filled with disgust. "This King won't even give you a second glance!"

His cold and vicious words still pierced her heart, because her child, his exalted King Rui, was truly wronged!

Nan Yue gritted her teeth, and with a cold smile, she said, "Why does the prince care so much about this child? You don't only have him as your sole child. There isn't much difference whether he exists or not, so the prince shouldn't feel wronged …" She stubbornly lifted her chin and looked at him. "Your Highness should go back and accompany your Qingqing younger sister. She is weaker than me, so she needs your care more than me."

Tuoba Rui did not pay attention to what she said after that. What kept popping up in his mind was the words, "It doesn't matter to him whether or not I have a child." His cold eyes narrowed, and he suddenly reached out to pinch her bony jaw, "Nan Yue, you're not this king. How do you know this king does not care about this child. No matter how many children this king has, as long as this king has a child, this king will care." The voice turned serious, "If it's about caring, Nan Yue, how much do you care about this child?!"
