Xiao Chenyan gently patted Mu Wanrong and said some words of comfort. When he turned to look at Shen Ruzhou, his expression darkened.

"Why can't he survive? Dr. Jiang just said that the child can still survive. Why can't he survive when he comes to you?!"

Shen Ruzhou was speechless at his ignorance, and replied disdainfully: "The concubine is already blushing, and the birth will only take place in the past few days, and it won't last long."

Xiao Chenyan still had no intention of giving up, and said with a glimmer of hope: "I can keep it as long as I can."

Shen Ruzhou did not reply to him immediately, but counted the days with his fingers, "Even if it can be delayed for a few more days, this child will only be five months old."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyan retorted, "You made a wrong calculation."

"His Highness was cuckolded without knowing it." Shen Ruzhou simply explained clearly, "Mu Wanrong had this child after having an affair with Chang Lin during the Flower Goddess Festival. I won't remember it wrong."

"Shen Ruzhou, what are you talking about?" Xiao Chenyan's eyes were blazing with anger.

A hint of guilt flashed in Mu Wanrong's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head and buried herself in Xiao Chenyan's arms, "Your Highness, Shen Ruzhou has slandered Wanrong, you have to make the decision for Wanrong."

"You know whether you do it or not." Shen Ruzhou shouted coldly, "You don't think you can really do it flawlessly, do you? I saw it with my own eyes that day."

After Shen Ruzhou finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Chenyan with a serious face, "Your Highness, that day you invited me to visit the Flower Goddess Festival. After you two separated, I accidentally saw your concubine and Chang Lin going to the river together. I don’t need to elaborate on what happened next.”

Shen Ruzhou described the date and place in such detail that Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but believe it. He pushed Mu Wanrong away from his arms and asked with a cold expression, "Is what she said true?"

Hearing this, Mu Wanrong's beauty turned pale, her legs softened and she knelt down. Her voice was filled with tears, "Your Highness, Wanrong will never do such an immoral thing. You have to believe Wanrong."

Mu Wanrong looked at Xiao Chenyan's expression as he spoke. Seeing that he still had a cold face, he felt more and more guilty, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, even if you don't believe in Wanrong, you should believe in Changlin. He is trying to save his life." His Highness died, and was still slandered by Shen Ruzhou after his death. If he knew about it underground, he would definitely be heartbroken."

Jun Wu next to him had sore eyes and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I believe that Chang Lin will never do such a dirty thing."

Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but feel moved when he thought of the personal guard who was loyal to him.

He leaned over to help Mu Wanrong up. When he turned to look at Shen Ruzhou, a surge of anger surged from his chest, "Shen Ruzhou, you have repeatedly said that your concubine is stealing people. What are your intentions?"

Shen Ruzhou met his red eyes and said openly and honestly, "I want Your Highness to see the true face of the people around you. If you don't appreciate it, forget it. Just treat it as if I didn't say anything."

Xiao Chenyan met Shen Ruzhou's unquestionable eyes. Even if he believed in Mu Wanrong again, he felt a little relieved at this moment. When he turned to look at Mu Wanrong, his eyes were a little more wary.

Seeing the change in Xiao Chenyan's eyes, Mu Wanrong wanted to argue, but before she could speak, Shen Ruyi stabbed his eyes out.

"You can use medicine to make the pulse and body shape look the same as those of seven months old, but you can't make a five-month-old child in the belly look like a seven-month-old child. The truth will be revealed when the child is born."

After Shen Ruzhou finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Chenyan again, with a sneer on his lips, "Your Highness, it's useless to talk more. My daughter is willing to stay and help the concubine give birth. Then we will be able to prove who told the lies."

In the Prince Regent's Mansion, Bei Xiuyan stood in front of the window wearing a blue shirt, with a calm face and a handsome posture, like a peerless young master with a clear breeze and bright moon.

Qin Ming pushed the door open and reported all the information he had found out.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince's concubine saw red today, and Miss Shen was invited for treatment. Just in case, His Highness the Crown Prince asked Miss Shen to stay at the Wucheng Palace."

"The doctor Jiang who has been treating the concubine is very unusual. He was originally a wandering doctor, but somehow he gained the attention of Princess Yu and was recommended by her to treat the concubine to ensure her pregnancy."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he looked at Beixiu Yan, waiting for him to speak.

Bei Xiuyan looked up at the cold waning moon in the night sky and said calmly: "Let's go help Miss Shen."

He turned around and sat down in front of the desk, and told Qin Ming, "Two things. One is to go to Fulai Inn by the river and find a guy named Liu Er; the other is to send someone to keep an eye on Doctor Jiang."

"Yes." Qin Ming cupped his hands and went down to do some work.

After a while, Lu Huaining brought today's homework to Beixiu Yan. He respectfully put a thick stack of paper on the table and said, "Master, please review it."

Bei Xiuyan looked at his hands wrapped in thick gauze, a flash of distress flashed in his eyes, and said with concern: "I'll give you a few days off. You don't have to write paperwork until the injury on your hand heals."

"Oh." Lu Huaining lowered his head and responded lifelessly.

On a normal day, when Lu Huaining heard the word "holiday", his eyes would light up and he would be extremely excited.

Now, it seems like nothing can make him happy.

Bei Xiuyan couldn't bear it, but he also understood that this was what he had to experience.

Beixiu Yan was about to say something when he saw Jian Yu coming in, supporting the injured Xiao Ruohan.

Lu Huaining hurriedly stepped forward to take Xiao Ruohan and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Jian Yu was also injured and was about to kneel down to salute when Bei Xiuyan lifted her up and motioned her to sit down and reply.

Jian Yu said weakly: "I met officers and soldiers on the way to send Miss Xiao to the north. We fought our way out and escaped back."

"Do you know which government office they are officers and soldiers from?" Bei Xiuyan asked doubtfully.

Jian Yu thought for a while and finally shook his head, "They didn't carry tokens with them."

Beixiu Yan was even more confused. He had been keeping an eye on the movements of the various palaces in the capital. No officers and soldiers went out of the city to arrest people. Even Xiao Chenyan only searched the military camp for the past two days. Who was responsible?

While he was thinking about it, Lu Huaining said in surprise: "Master, Miss Xiao's wound is black. This arrow is probably poisoned."

Hearing this, Beixiu Yan frowned, "Jianyu, help Ruohan go to the dark room. Huaining, go to Wucheng Palace to invite Shen Ruzhou."

"Wucheng Prince's Mansion?" Lu Huaining tilted his head and said, wondering how his beautiful sister could be in Wucheng Prince's Mansion.

"She went to protect the concubine's pregnancy." Beixiu Yan left these words and stood up to change into his official uniform.

"Huaining, I will go to the palace to find out the news. You and Ruzhou will take care of Ruohan in a while."

"Yes." Lu Huaining agreed and quickly walked out the door.

In the flower hall of Wucheng Prince's Mansion, Shen Ruzhou was sitting on the couch reading a medical book, while Xiao Chenyan was sitting opposite drinking tea and looking at her.

Shen Ruzhou felt uncomfortable being stared at and said helplessly: "Since I promised to protect my concubine's pregnancy, I will do my best. Your Highness does not need to look at me."

Xiao Chenyan seemed not to hear anything, but his eyes still fell on Shen Ruzhou's body for a moment.

"I value this child, but I value you even more."

He put down the tea cup with a warm smile on his face, "Ruzhou, I have failed you in many things before. Now I have regretted it and want to rebuild the good relationship with you for a hundred years. As long as you are willing, I will tomorrow Then I will go to the palace and invite you to be crown princess."

"Your Highness, we have reconciled." Shen Ruzhou was tired of saying it countless times, but the other party just refused to give up.

"You don't have to worry about Father, I'll go and talk to you." Xiao Chenyan said to himself, not caring about the impatience in Shen Ruzhou's eyes.

Shen Ruzhou felt that it was useless to talk to such a person, so he had to lower his head and continue reading the medical book.

Outside the door, an attendant came over to report: "Your Highness, Young Master Lu from the Regent's Palace is here."

Xiao Chenyan's eyes were filled with annoyance, and he was about to wave his hands and say goodbye, but Shen Ruzhou was the first to say, "Please come quickly."

Lu Huaining walked in and bowed respectfully to Xiao Chenyan.

Xiao Chenyan nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this person just needed to be dealt with, and a beating would be much more honest.

Shen Ruzhou saw that his hands were wrapped in gauze, with faint traces of blood on them, and asked distressedly: "Huaining, what's wrong with your hands?"

Lu Huaining did not answer directly, but looked at Xiao Chenyan with resentment in his eyes.

Shen Ruzhou understood immediately, turned to Xiao Chenyan and asked, "Did you inflict the injury on his hand?"
