Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

It was the middle of the night and everything was quiet. Liu Xiuhan climbed out of bed quietly, afraid to wake up Jiang Lingyue who was sleeping beside him.

He put on his clothes gently and quickly, then stood quietly beside the bed, gazing at the peaceful face of the woman lying on the bed.

She closed her eyes tightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if immersed in a beautiful dream. However, Liu Xiuhan's brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes revealed deep attachment and reluctance.

He stared at her silently, with a complex emotion in his heart.

Originally it was just to complete the task, so the Ninth Princess, who had the worst cultivation, was chosen deliberately so that he could use magic to confuse her and allow her to enter and leave the palace as she pleased.

However, faced with her true love, he was reluctant to use any magic on her. Instead, he fell into her trap step by step and was happy to accept it. Not only did he lose his body, but he also lost his heart.

She was like a ray of light in his life, illuminating the softest corner of his heart.

However, at this moment, he had to leave and face something that he could not avoid. The mission had been completed, and he could not create any more complications and involve her.

Liu Xiu Han took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

He knew that he couldn't let his emotions control his actions, but leaving the woman he loved so deeply was an extremely difficult thing to do.

He sighed softly, took out a letter from his storage bag and placed it on the table, turned around and prepared to leave, but couldn't help but look back.

This glance seemed to penetrate time and engrave every moment they spent together in their hearts.

Then, he took a resolute step, walked out of the room, dressed in red, and blended into the dark night.

Outside the city, in the woods, the man in black who was waiting there heard the noise and looked at the man in red who suddenly appeared behind him. "Did you get the stuff?"

"Yeah." The man in red nodded slightly.

"Give me the thing!" The man in black looked greedy.

"No hurry." The man in red looked at him coldly, "I will personally return to the headquarters and hand over the things to you after I see you, brother."

The man in black had a sinister look in his eyes and sneered, "Don't forget, your brother is in our hands! If you dare to play any tricks, you know the consequences!"

Liu Xiu looked at him coldly, "Of course I know that. But don't even think about threatening me. Since I can get the thing, I can destroy it at any time."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The man in black looked at his receding figure, his expression becoming very ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bah, a mere chess piece, why are you showing off!"

Then, he angrily took out the sound transmission note and reported the situation to his superiors.

The next morning, Jiang Lingyue woke up and found the bed beside her empty. Liu Xiuhan was nowhere to be seen. She felt a little strange. Didn't he usually wait for her to get up together? Why did he get up first today?

She put on her clothes in a daze, glanced at the envelope on the table, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Jiang Lingyue hurriedly picked up the envelope and opened it. There were only a few short lines of words on the letter paper: "Yue'er, I'm sorry, Xiuhan has to leave for something and can't accompany you. Don't look for me, don't worry."

Tears instantly blurred her vision. She held the letter tightly, her heart aching.

"Liu Xiuhan, you big liar..." She murmured to herself, her voice tearful, "You said you would always be with me..."

Jiang Lingyue slumped in the chair with a blank look in her eyes. She didn't understand why Liu Xiuhan left suddenly, nor did she know where he had gone.

"No, I must find him!" Jiang Lingyue suddenly stood up and wiped her tears.

She didn't believe he would just leave without saying goodbye. During this time together, his favorability towards her had increased to 70%. She wanted to find him and ask him face to face.

After washing up, Jiang Lingyue's calm appearance could not hide her anxiety.

She decisively called her personal maid Chuntao and ordered her to quickly summon the housekeeper Qiuju.

When the two arrived, Jiang Lingyue told them the shocking news that her concubine's husband was missing, and issued an urgent order: immediately dispatch personnel to conduct a comprehensive search.

Qiu Ju was fully aware of the seriousness of the situation and took over the mission without hesitation. She immediately began to mobilize the troops in the Ninth Princess's Mansion and ordered them to disperse to every corner to search for clues.

Jiang Lingyue could not stay in the mansion peacefully, and she was so anxious that she decided to go out and look for him herself. She took the loyal Chuntao with her to the mountaintop lake that Liu Xiuhan had taken her to climb last time.

Along the way, Jiang Lingyue's mood became increasingly heavy, and her heart was filled with worry about Liu Xiu Han's safety.

However, when they arrived at the lake on the top of the mountain and searched every corner carefully, they still could not find Liu Xiu Han.

Jiang Lingyue was filled with disappointment and she could only reluctantly take Chuntao back to her mansion.

Time passed quickly, and when they returned home, it was already noon.

Jiang Lingyue couldn't wait to ask the servants who stayed behind about the latest situation, but the answer she got was still disappointing, there was no news about Liu Xiuhan.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Lingyue felt extremely frustrated and helpless. She could only wait silently in the mansion, hoping for a miracle to happen.

After lunch, the housekeeper Qiu Ju was supposed to be busy with other matters, but today she suddenly came to the dining room. Her face looked a little pale, and her eyes revealed a hint of fear and panic.

Jiang Lingyue noticed Qiuju's abnormality and felt uneasy.

She quickly put down the dishes in her hands and asked with concern: "Qiu Ju, what happened? Why do you look so flustered?"

Qiu Ju took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but her voice was still trembling: "Your Highness, I just received news that an important treasure was lost in the palace last night! Now the capital government has ordered a comprehensive search in the city."

Jiang Lingyue's heart tightened, the theft in the palace was no small matter.

She frowned, thinking back to what happened in the palace last night, and was suddenly shocked. Could it be that Liu Xiu Han’s departure was related to this?

"Did they say any treasure was lost?" she demanded.

Qiu Ju shook her head. "I don't know the details yet. I only know that the emperor was very angry and ordered the government offices in the capital to find the lost items as soon as possible. And... and I heard that this incident may be related to a mysterious organization in the underworld."

Jiang Lingyue frowned even more tightly. When it comes to the forces of the underworld, things become more complicated. She knows all the grudges and intrigues in the underworld. If she is accidentally involved in it, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Should we strengthen the security in the mansion?" Qiu Ju suggested.

Jiang Lingyue nodded. "Well, go and make arrangements. Ask the guards to step up patrols to ensure the safety of the mansion. At the same time, remind everyone to go out as little as possible in the near future to avoid getting into trouble. I will pay attention to the progress of this matter to see if I can find some clues."

She waved Qiu Ju to come closer and ordered, "Also, recall the soldiers immediately and stop looking for the concubine. If anyone asks about the concubine, tell him that something happened in his hometown and he went back to visit his relatives."

Seeing her solemn expression, Chuntao and Qiuju vaguely guessed something and broke out in cold sweat.

No matter what, His Majesty the Ninth Prince is their master. They share the same fate and must find ways to safeguard the interests of their master.

"Also, when it comes to finding a concubine, you can only send capable and trustworthy people to search secretly. Do you understand?" Jiang Lingyue looked at Qiuju with narrowed eyes.

"I understand, Your Highness, please rest assured." Qiu Ju nodded solemnly. Then, she took the order and left.

After a while, all the palace soldiers sent out from the Ninth Princess's mansion to look for someone withdrew.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyue felt a little relieved.
