Yu Zhen knew that Li Xueyue's conscience was churning, just like her thoughts. It would be better to take a break, so as not to really hurt her hand and hurt others.

He will deal with Xu Jiaqi's matter personally in the future, and now he wants to concentrate on making her regain her sanity.

“I’ll take care of it myself in a bit,” Yu Zhen assured, giving her a worried look.

Yu Zhen had never seen a side of her like this before and didn't know how to react, especially when she was so calm in the face of anger.

"Now, let us let you rest for a while." Yu Zhen's warm palm slid across Li Xueyue's shoulder and pulled her closer to him.

He was afraid that if he looked away, something might happen, especially when she was in an unstable mood.

His wife tried to calm herself, but he saw it in her eyes.

Yu Zhen had been observing her for a long time, and saw through the mask she wore and the repressed emotions, including those hidden deep in her heart because she was too afraid to show them, thinking that it was a sign of weakness, but it was not.

"I'm fine," she said.

"Then come with me," Yu Zhen said, "I'm not."

Li Xueyue turned her head sharply to look at him. She had been so focused on herself and her revenge that she forgot that he was in the picture and that he was also injured.

Yu Zhen was lying a little. He didn't need external comfort from others to heal his pain. He had learned to cheer himself up since he was a child, even if it was difficult to do. Seeking comfort and consolation from others was not his strong point, just like comforting people was never his specialty. This kind of thing can always be "picked up" by someone, right?

"I'll send someone to take her to the cell, and my people will keep a close watch on her," Yu Zhen told her.

Li Xueyue nodded. She had eaten enough to fill her stomach for a day, but only for one day.

She felt even more pain in her heart, but she needed to investigate who gave Xu Jiaqi the bath oil.

The ingredients in these oils may have adverse side effects on pregnant women. With so many deadly factors combined, miscarriage is inevitable...

"Maybe I was too careless..." She whispered to herself, suddenly feeling guilty about the passion that night. If Li Xueyue knew, she would be more careful.

“But there were no symptoms… like morning sickness and other symptoms,” she added, suddenly feeling lost and confused.

In many rare cases, a woman may not experience early symptoms of pregnancy until at least a few months into the pregnancy, with a slight bulge in her abdomen.

Li Xueyue touched her belly. Although she didn't find it bulging, she looked at her body in the mirror. This was not like her usual style.

“I want all eyes to be on her.”

Li Xueyue suddenly came to her senses and saw the shadow guard enter the room.

When they came in, they brought the same things they used when they captured Xu Jiaqi, with ribbons tied around her eyes, her mouth blocked, and ropes tied around her limbs, all to prevent her from escaping.

"No one is allowed to give her food or talk to her," Yu Zhen ordered sternly.

His men bowed their heads.

"Your Highness, please! I have wronged you." Xu Jiaqi fell to her knees and begged, "I would never, not even in my dreams, want to hurt the Crown Princess, let alone the child in her belly!"

Yu Zhen glared at her fiercely, "So you knew?"

"W-what?"

"The Crown Princess is pregnant."

"No, of course not, Your Highness!" This time Xu Jiaqi was telling the truth. Unfortunately, none of this mattered anymore. One lie was enough to question a thousand truths.

Yu Zhen didn't even bother to look at her again. Her appearance made him sick. She said he saved her life. He really wished he hadn't. If she left, it would be like getting rid of a trouble in his life.

Her new status was the result of his kindness, but look where it got him. There was a reason he knew he shouldn't be so kind to strangers. When was the last time his kindness paid off?

"Please give me some time. My words will prove my innocence!"

Yu Zhen showed a hint of anger at the corner of his mouth. These quarrels made him very irritated.

It is best to get rid of her as soon as possible, but in the most horrible and painful way. If you want to choose someone as the big fish to hang, it must be Xu Jiaqi.

"Get this pest out of my sight."

His men wasted no time, they moved forward, at which point she began to protest and scream.

"Your Highness, please!" she begged. "The Queen will be furious when she hears this!"

Yu Zhen glared at her fiercely. Really, she was not stupid enough to believe that his mother would scare him? If he was not afraid of her when he was a child, what could make him change his mind now?

"I'm being framed!" she then added, but her attempt was in vain.

Yu Zhen turned around and faced away from her.

Xu Jiaqi felt as if her heart was breaking before her eyes. Waves of stabbing pains spread from her chest to her entire body. Her fingers and toes were numb, her lips couldn't stop trembling, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

She didn't expect the future to be so far away. In a moment of impulse, she just wanted to destroy the Crown Princess. It was just a pregnancy and a miscarriage. What was so memorable? They still had several years to have another child...

Xu Jiaqi didn't understand where she was wrong, and looked up at the Crown Princess helplessly, "Princess, I didn't mean it... Why should I train so hard just to hurt you?"

"The resentment of being sent for retraining." Li Xueyue pointed out effortlessly. Xu Jiaqi had too many motives to be innocent.

"Catch her." Yu Zhen ordered.

Without me having to say anything, the two men walked towards the woman who was being beaten.

Yu Zhen tried to block Li Xueyue’s sight, he didn’t want her to see something so violent, but she peeked over his arm.

Xu Jiaqi's mouth was instantly blocked, her eyes were blindfolded, and her wrists, knees and ankles were tied behind her back. However, this was not enough. The stubborn woman struggled desperately, trying to resist her kidnappers, but to no avail.

"Let's take a break." Yu Zhen said, mainly to let her have a good sleep. After a good sleep, her mind will be clearer, so that she will have the energy to overcome the troubles that may arise next.

The news of the miscarriage would inevitably spread. When the storm came, he hoped that she could be mentally prepared.
