He also considerately took off her shoes and covered her with a quilt before leaving the room.

Before leaving, he solemnly said to Yue Ban, "Take good care of her."

Yueban's heart trembled, and he clasped his fists and bowed solemnly to the figure that had disappeared into the night sky.

Yuzhan patted her chest and said, "Why does your prince like to climb the wall... I'm scared to death..."

The two guards who followed Qin Sangbai also returned to the mansion.

Jiu Niang's recovery ability is amazing. After a day of rest, she can now get out of bed.

Looking at Prince Ling's departing back, she fell into deep thought.

It makes sense. If the prince didn't care about the master in the room, he wouldn't have arranged five people to protect her at once.

Although Miss Mu didn't look like she needed anyone's protection, the prince's feelings could not be hidden.

"Yueban, what happened at the palace banquet today?"

She asked Yueban.

Jiu Niang is the leader of these secret guards and also the oldest among them.

"First, Princess Yunxi humiliated the young lady in public. Then, the Crown Prince of Yi State took the young lady's portrait and said that he had physical contact with her. Later, Princess Ning Sheng fell into the water... Anyway, so many things happened that it is hard to explain them all at once. But there is one thing I am sure of, that is, the young lady did not suffer any harm. Instead, it was the Queen Mother, Princess Yunxi, and the Crown Prince of Yi State who were beaten to death by the young lady."

Jiu Niang fell silent.

Yueban pushed her into the house. "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't worry about it. We are here for you! If you don't rest well and your injury gets worse, then that girl wouldn't have waited for you all night in vain."

Jiu Niang paused, "Miss, you have been guarding me all night?"

"Yes, you had a high fever last night, and the girl came over in the middle of the night to prescribe medicine for you. After your fever subsided, she went back to rest for a while. So, you must not let the girl down. Go and rest quickly. Even if something happens here, we can handle it. Don't worry. Healing your injury is better than anything else."

Jiu Niang was pushed into the house.

Yueban ran to Mu Qingyan's door again and stood guard. Just then, she saw Yuzhan coming out of the room. "Yueban, why are you here? Didn't you go back to your room? The girl doesn't like people keeping watch at night. Go back and have some rest..."

Yueban didn't move. "The prince asked me to take good care of the girl, so I can't let her make any mistakes. You go and have a rest. I'm here."

Yuzhan said nothing, lowered her head and went back to her room.

Mu Qingyan slept very soundly that night, so much so that when the sunlight shone through her eyes in the morning and stung her eyes, she felt a little dazed the moment she opened her eyes.

How did she get back to her room last night? Didn't she say she would be called when she got there?

How come she sleeps so soundly?

Yuzhan happened to push the door open and come in. Mu Qingyan raised her eyes. The question in her eyes was too straightforward. Yuzhan pursed her lips and smiled before saying, "The girl fell asleep last night, and the prince carried her over the wall and came in. He didn't even go through the main door..."

Mu Qingyan slapped her forehead, thinking that he must have pressed her sleep acupoint, otherwise how could she sleep so soundly!

Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan curled her lips a little embarrassedly. When she got out of bed, put on her shoes and washed up, she didn't dare to look directly into Yuzhan's eyes.

Because this girl kept staring at her with a teasing look on her face, she could feel her face getting hotter and hotter...

"Don't look at it. Your girl doesn't have any flowers on her face."

Yuzhin then turned away with a smile.

But the corners of his mouth were stretched to the back of his head! There was no point in turning away.

Yesterday, Mu Qingyan sang a touching song at the palace banquet, Mu Yingyu became famous with her dance, and Qin Sangbai's words were worth a thousand gold.

It's become a hot topic among the people today.

Those who don't know the inside story all praise the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion for the way they educate their daughters. The three girls are all beautiful and intelligent.

Those who know the inside story hold a different view.

After all, how did Miss Mu, who was exiled since childhood, acquire all her skills?

Upon hearing that Mu Qingyan and Mu Yingyu were both famous, the person who felt most uncomfortable was Lan Hui.

In the past, these two people could only serve as her foil, but yesterday they became famous. Who in Kyoto still remembers her name as a talented woman?

After hearing the news brought back by the maid early in the morning, she was so angry that she couldn't even eat breakfast, and her lower abdomen was aching.

Just at this moment, her good mother-in-law Liang sent someone to tell her to go over and pay her respects.

Lan Hui was so angry that she threw her chopsticks. When she stood up, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, which made her speechless.

Yulan was terrified and hurriedly sent for a doctor. She also asked her maid to report to the mistress that the young mistress was not feeling well and should not be moved.

Upon hearing this, Liang snorted coldly, "She was so stupid that she became a target for others and almost implicated the entire Yang family! She couldn't stand her cousins ​​being in the spotlight! How could our Yang family marry such a shallow-minded woman! It's really unlucky!"

The nanny beside Liang advised, "The young lady is pregnant with the second young master's flesh and blood after all. You don't like the young lady, but your grandson is always yours. I'm afraid she's having a miscarriage. Would you like to go and take a look?"

Liang's expression was already ugly, and it became even darker after hearing this. "I, as the mother-in-law, haven't punished her yet, but she's pretending! Fine! For the sake of my grandson, I'll go see her, so that people won't say that I, the mother-in-law, treat my daughter-in-law harshly! Humph!"

When Liang arrived, the doctor had just arrived. He felt the pulse and found that her face was not good. "Young Madam, you have liver qi stagnation, which has caused the fetus to move violently. You need to relax and rest in bed... I will prescribe two doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. Young Madam, take it on time and you will be fine after a few days of rest. But in the future, you must be careful..."

Lan Hui was already disappointed with Yang Jing, but she attached great importance to the child in her belly. After all, she would have to rely on her son to gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future.

It doesn’t matter how bad Liang’s attitude towards her is, as long as she gives birth to a boy safely!

"Thank you, doctor..." She was very weak and her voice was soft.

After the doctor left, the nanny brought a low stool, Liang sat down beside the bed, and sent the servants away.

Lan Hui turned her head away, not wanting to see that face. "My daughter-in-law is not feeling well today. If you have anything to say, mother, please wait until I have rested enough. You heard what the doctor said just now. You don't want your grandson to die before he is born, do you?"

Liang was furious. "How dare you curse my grandson! What are you thinking?"

Lan Hui sneered, "Don't you just want to blame me for interfering in Princess Ning Sheng's drowning yesterday? I know I was wrong, you can leave now!"

She knew that the baby in her belly was her life-saving talisman.

Liang had let her into the family because of the child. If the child died, her position as the second young master's wife would be lost immediately.

But she just couldn't swallow this.

It was clearly her son who couldn't control himself, so why did she become the one to blame in the end!
