The Virtuous Concubine

"Your Highness, are you worried about something? You might as well tell me. Maybe it will make you feel better."

Malu said softly, trying to guide the prince to speak out his worries.

The prince shook his head slightly, still without saying anything, but just buried his head in her chest.

He now understood how Malu felt when she found out she was pregnant and was unwilling to tell him.

I hurt her once, and I don't want to drag her down a second time.

And if she knew that the Fourth Prince knew about what happened between her and her, how would she deal with it?

It’s not that he can’t agree to the Fourth Prince’s request!

Seeing this, Malu became even more confused. She knew that the prince had always been a person with a strong sense of self-esteem. If he had not encountered an extremely difficult situation, he would never lose his composure like this. She decided not to ask any more questions and wait until the prince's emotions were a little more stable before trying to get him to say something.

If it doesn't work, torture Chen Xin. He will tell the truth for the sake of the prince.

After the prince calmed down, she pushed him away. Malu pushed him away carefully. She really couldn't stand the feeling of the wet clothes sticking to her skin on her chest, so she unbuttoned the front of her clothes, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the air was filled with the fragrance of milk, and the snow-white skin was rimmed like the finest pearls.

For some reason, Malu felt that the prince's face became even redder.

"Hiss—you're going to die!"

It turned out that the prince had buried his head and started biting it hard without anyone noticing.

The prince couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "Yes, I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live anymore!"

Malu couldn't do this. She was really afraid that the prince would not be able to bear it and would die.

Seeing that he was like an agitated little animal, Malu said helplessly: "Let me do it, don't get tired, take a rest first... Let me serve you for once, it can be considered a blessing in disguise for you, little brat."

As he said this, he crawled into the quilt.

The quilt was warm, and Malu leaned against the prince tightly, and could clearly feel his body burning and trembling. She gently stretched out her hand and opened her mouth, trying her best to comfort him.

After being comforted several times, the prince finally behaved himself.

The hot little prince has a unique flavor.

After all the hard work, Malu was exhausted. She gently stroked the prince's hair and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are tired. Go to sleep for a while. If there is anything, we can talk to you when you wake up."

The prince nodded slightly and closed his eyes obediently. After a while, he fell asleep.

However, the prince did not sleep well. His brows were furrowed and he kept muttering to himself, saying some incoherent and confusing talking in his sleep.

Malu listened quietly at the side. At first, she thought it was just some meaningless mumbling, but as the prince spoke more, she gradually pieced together a horrifying fact.

It turned out that the affair between the Crown Prince and her was somehow known to the Fourth Prince, and he even used it to threaten the Crown Prince!

Malu's heart sank suddenly and his face turned pale in an instant.

"No wonder... No wonder the Fourth Prince has been so cold and distant these days. He didn't even step into Yonghe Palace for such a great happy event as the Fourth Lady's pregnancy!"

Many thoughts came to his mind in an instant. It seemed that he had told Wen Xian about the rumors about the prince being obsessed with Yang Gege in order to create a rift between Malu and the prince...

What else? What else did he do?

A terrible thought suddenly flashed through Malu's mind. The thought passed through her mind like lightning, making her scalp tingle instantly.

This spring search, is it... is it also a part of his plan!

The more Malu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but push the prince.

The prince was in a daze, mumbling a few words incoherently, then he turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.

Malu was extremely anxious, but she had no idea what to do. If they didn't figure out the situation soon, they might... Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, leaned close to the prince's ear, and said in a very low and soft voice: "Fourth Brother knows, right?"

Sure enough, Yongzheng was able to stop the child from crying at night.

The prince quickly regained consciousness, his eyes filled with fear and alertness.

He looked at Malu and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out because of the dry throat.

Seeing this, Malu hurriedly picked up the teacup beside him and gently fed the prince a few sips of warm water. The prince moistened his throat and said with difficulty: "How...how did you know?"

Malu tried hard not to let the tears fall, and said with a choked voice: "If I hadn't come to visit you by chance today and accidentally discovered this matter, how long would you have kept it secret from me?"

When the prince heard this, he was filled with guilt and self-blame.

He lowered his head slightly, avoiding Malu's resentful gaze. After a moment of silence, he whispered, "It's my fault. I thought I could handle this matter on my own and didn't want you to be in danger, but I didn't expect that I would still implicate you."

"It's not our fault, but he...how did he know?" Malu raised his tear-stained face, with confusion and anger in his eyes.

She really couldn't figure out where the flaw was revealed, as she and the prince had always been cautious in their actions.

A sinister look flashed across the prince's eyes. He clenched his fists and said bitterly, "There must be a traitor around me. Otherwise, with Old Four's ability, how could he have known what was going on between us? Moreover, he also managed to take my sachet. In that sachet there was... the thing you embroidered for me."

Malu only felt a black screen before his eyes, the world was spinning, and the sky was falling!

"Is there any physical evidence? Which one is it?"

Malu really did embroider a lot of things for the prince, but she couldn't remember for a moment what could have been put into the sachet, which became the handle in the hands of the Fourth Prince to threaten the prince.

The prince felt even more distressed when he saw Malu so panicked. He comforted her, "Don't worry, we can definitely find a way to solve this matter. Maybe the physical evidence is not enough to prove anything, but as long as we don't admit it, the fourth brother can't do anything to us."

Malu felt that the prince was so excited that he spoke without thinking.

He’s just the Fourth Prince, what’s there to be afraid of?

"What do you want to admit? Maybe he is just trying to trick you. Even if he knows, what can he do? I am his mother after all. If he dares to make a big deal out of this, once the emperor considers me a woman who does not observe the virtues of a woman, his own life experience will be questioned, and it will be unclear whether he is the blood of the Aixinjueluo family. What are you afraid of?"
