After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Do you ever regret leaving me?"

Zhu Xiao's voice was heard again in the silent room.

A tear fell from the corner of Liu Shishi's eye, slid down her face, and dripped onto the instep of her foot.

Regret?

Yes, she regretted it!

I regret that I shouldn’t have listened to my brother!

At the beginning, I shouldn't have left Zhu Xiao out of vanity;

I shouldn't have been so cowardly and left the King of Qi.

Regret! But what's the use?

It's all her own fault.

A pitiful smile appeared on her lips.

"If I say I regret it, is it too late?"

Zhu Xiao looked at the smile on her lips and stood up.

He slowly walked closer to Liu Shishi.

He stretched out his hand and lifted Liu Shishi's face.

"Just now, your brother said that you are still a virgin?"

"I don't believe it. I want to test it."

Liu Shishi looked at him straight, "How do you want to verify it?"

Zhu Xiao picked her up and walked into the room.

Where he couldn't see, a tear from Liu Shishi rolled into the hair beside her ear.

Liu Shishi knew that she couldn't go back.

There was no place for her to stand in either the Duke's Mansion or Liu Zongyuan's new home.

Now, she could only hold tightly onto the man in front of her.

Only then will she have a chance to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain in this vast world.

Xiao Minshen listened to Mo Yi's story about what happened in the capital.

"Send someone to check on the county magistrate." Xiao Minshen ordered.

Mo nodded and went out to arrange people.

After a while, Mo Yi walked in.

"what happened?"

Xiao Minshen felt a little strange when he saw Mo Yi's expression when he came in.

"The secret guards have sent news that the prince is not dead!"

Xiao Minshen was stunned.

"At that time, the boat the prince was on sank before it reached the middle of the river."

"Among the prince's guards, there were a few who knew how to swim and they saved the prince."

"He is really lucky!"

Xiao Minshen's face was gloomy.

"Find a way to get the news that the prince is not dead to the palace."

"What about Xiao Yunhao?"

Xiao Minshen glanced at Mo Yi coldly.

Mo Yi immediately lowered his head, "It was my subordinate who overstepped his authority!"

Mo Yi went out again. Xiao Minshen sat in the study for a while before returning to the room.

Shen Yunjin saw Xiao Minshen walk in with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Your Highness, the hot water is ready. Please go take a bath and get rid of your fatigue."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minshen went straight to the ear room.

Soon, he came out covered in water.

Shen Yunjin hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hair.

Xiao Minshen pulled Shen Yunjin over and held her in his arms.

"Don't worry about it. It'll dry in a short while in this hot weather."

"What book are you reading?" He opened the book on the table.

"When I came here, I was worried that I would be bored on the way, so I brought a few travel books with me."

Shen Yunjin stretched out his hand and continued to wipe Xiao Minshen.

She let Xiao Minshen hold her, and she could see that Xiao Minshen seemed to be worried about something.

But he didn't say anything, and she didn't intend to ask.

Xiao Minshen took the towel from Shen Yunjin's hand and put it aside.

He took Shen Yunjin's hand and played with it.

He saw the ring on Shen Yunjin's hand and paused for a moment.

"Why did you put it on?"

Shen Yunjin raised his hand and looked at the ring on his hand.

"Your Highness, are you saying that Hao'er gave this to you?"

"I am worried that if I run around everywhere, I won't know where I lost it."

"So, wear it on your hand, so it won't be easily lost."

Xiao Minshen took off the ring and looked at it for a long time, but didn't find anything special.

He reached out and put it on Shen Yunjin again.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Just now, the secret guard sent a letter saying that the prince is not dead and was saved by the guards."

"Now, the prince is on his way to his fiefdom."

Shen Yunjin looked surprised.

The prince is really lucky to have survived such a turbulent current.

"The king asked Mo Yi to pass the information to the palace."

"I believe that within two days, my father will issue an order to ban him."

"He was the first to harm my wife and children. This time, I will not let him go!"

"But, Jin'er, I am not feeling well."

Xiao Minshen buried his face in Shen Yunjin's shoulder.

Shen Yunjin patted Xiao Minshen's back gently as if he was patting a little tiger.

She especially understood Xiao Minshen's feelings.

Xiao Minshen doesn't like killing, especially killing of people around him.

Although the prince is not the emperor's biological son, he grew up with the emperor.

Xiao Minshen looks very cold on the outside, but he is actually very loyal.

Even Xiao Minshen felt a little soft-hearted.

If the prince had not pushed him into desperate situations time and time again, he would have been forced to become strong in order to protect himself.

This may be the sadness of being a prince.

"Your Majesty, what do you think? Should we take Bao'er and Little Tiger over here?"

Xiao Minshen pondered for a while, "Not yet."

The situation was unclear and he couldn't put his child in danger.

Xiao Minshen thought of his second son, whom he had barely held since he was born.

His heart became hardened.

He couldn't let his son go through the same journey as Xiao Yunhao.

"Go to sleep."

Xiao Minshen figured it out and walked to the bedside holding Shen Yunjin.

Recently, the emperor has a new favorite.

Defei's family sent a girl into the palace.

This girl has a very special physique.

Once a man has tasted it, he can't help himself.

After the emperor favored her once, he became addicted.

Many times, he even didn't attend the morning court.

As for Concubine Lin, he would go there every few days at first.

Later, I went there less and less often.

Concubine Lin felt a sense of crisis.

At the beginning, it was with the help of Concubine De that she gained the emperor's favor.

But after she became favored, she threw Concubine De aside.

She has to think about the baby in her belly.

She didn't expect that Concubine De would actually do this.

Now, the emperor has not come to her palace for two months.

If she hadn't been pregnant with the prince, I'm afraid all the men would have run to other palaces to show their affection.

No, she had to find a way.

"Go find Xiao Dezi."

She ordered her personal maid.

Xiao Dezi was not on duty today and came quickly.

"Xiao Dezi, you must help me this time."

Lin Jieyu said straight to the point.

Xiao Dezi's heart trembled.

"What does your majesty want me to do?"

"When the emperor is having a meal with that bitch, put this in his meal."

Concubine Lin handed a paper bag to Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi shrank back.

"If you are caught plotting to murder the emperor, it's a serious crime punishable by beheading!"

"Don't worry, this medicine will only make people dizzy, it won't kill anyone."

"Really, Jieyu wouldn't lie to me?" Xiao Dezi didn't believe it.

"Of course, the child in my belly has not yet been born, and I don't want him to be without a father."
