The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Shen Chou followed Yu Ruyue's finger and saw the figure on the screen. He smiled even more happily and gently kissed her on the forehead.

"My little elf! Why are you so stupid? This woman is you!"

"You're lying! I'm not that thin at all."

"Hahaha! My little elf, you are so cute. The last time I saw you, you were this thin. And this dress and the hairpin in your hair, don't you think you look familiar?"

Yu Ruyue propped herself up and took a closer look. It seemed that the person looked very familiar.

"After I saw you last time, I couldn't sleep the night after I came back. I was afraid that I would never see you again and would forget what you looked like. That's why I ordered someone to embroider your image on this screen!"

"I originally wanted to embroider the front, but I've consulted thousands of embroiderers, and not one could capture your charm and beauty!"

Shen Chou's words were so sincere that Yu Ruyue felt a little embarrassed.

She nestled in Shen Chou's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Then why did you keep Shen Hua alive even though you knew she was trying to harm you? I feel like she treats her better than I do to you!"

Shen Chou was stunned for a moment, then quickly burst into laughter again, "Hahahaha! My little elf! You're so cute, but what should I do with you?"

"After I came back knowing about this, I've been putting all my energy into building that secret room. I was thinking I'd give you a few more surprises next time I go. That's why I didn't do anything to her. But I've made countless enemies out there. Before, no one dared to touch her because I was protecting her. But now that she's lost my protection, she'll only end up living a life worse than death."

"Do you still think I like her?"

Yu Ruyue felt even more embarrassed, so she quickly changed the subject, "Oh right! I saw a black chain on the headboard of the bed in the secret room. What is that thing for?"

Shen Chou immediately became nervous when the chain was mentioned. He didn't know what to say. Could it be that this chain was meant to tie you up?

"Shen Chou! Why don't you say anything? What on earth is that thing for?"

At this moment, there was another hurried knock on the door.

"Come out here right now! If you don't come out, the Jiang family will be finished!"

As soon as the Jiang family was mentioned, Shen Chou instantly sat up from the bed and quickly opened the door!

As soon as Yan Han saw him, he glared at him with a look of disappointment.

"Huh! You still remember to come out?"

"Lin Jingde didn't know who he had offended. His entire family was slaughtered outside the city, leaving him alone. He then went to the emperor and threatened to kill everyone in the Jiang family."

"Tell me the truth, did you do anything about the Lin family?"

Before Shen Chou could say anything, another eunuch came and told him that the emperor wanted to summon him and Yu Ruyue to the palace.

"Marquis Wu'an, please accept the order! His Majesty and the ladies are still waiting in the palace. They all want to meet this extraordinary woman who is pregnant with Marquis Wu'an's child!"

Shen Chou frowned, "My wife is not feeling well..."

"My Lord! His Majesty and the ladies are waiting for you! You may not be feeling well, but you will get over it if you hold on."

When Shen Chou heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.

Seeing that Shen Chou was about to explode, Yan Han quickly whispered to the side: "If you disobey the emperor in this matter, it will be difficult to plead for mercy on the Jiang family's matter."

"No matter whether you did what happened to the Lin family or not, you must save the Jiang family. His old man and I have a life-long friendship!"

Although Shen Chou could disobey the emperor's order and the emperor would not do anything to him, there would definitely be no good result in the Jiang family's affairs.

Yu Ruyue also quickly held Shen Chou's hand, "Alright! Isn't it just a walk around the palace? I've never been to the palace before! I'm also very curious."

Shen Chou took her hand with a worried look on his face and asked someone to prepare the carriage. On the way, he kept reminding her not to eat anything given by anyone in the palace.

He briefly recounted the Jiang family's affairs.

Yu Ruyue covered her mouth in astonishment. "Your background is so good?"

"This real and fake young master actually happened right next to me, oh my god! It's so melodramatic!"

Shen Chou smiled and touched her head, "What do you mean by real or fake young master? Stop talking nonsense!"

"Just remember, don't eat anything you want after you go in. No matter who provokes you, you can fight back. No matter if she's the Queen, no one is more important than you!"

Yu Ruyue nodded, not as nervous as she was at the beginning, and soon the two of them entered the palace.

As soon as Yu Ruyue entered, she saw the majestic building and the high city walls. Turning left and right, it was like a maze. After she got lost and turned around again and again, she finally arrived at the door of a magnificent hall. As soon as she stepped over the high threshold and entered the hall, she could feel countless gazes lingering on her, even giving her a faint feeling of oppression.

After Shen Chou finished the ceremony holding her hand, a very majestic young man's voice came from above, "My dear! Stand up!"

"Quick! Give your beloved a seat. I heard you were injured again. How are you feeling?"

Shen Chou answered the emperor's questions respectfully, and the two chatted happily back and forth, but the emperor did not mention the fact that Prince Jing and Princess Yongle led the troops there.

After talking for a long time, when Shen Chou mentioned the Jiang family affairs, the emperor suddenly said: "My dear, will you introduce me to the woman next to you?"

"I heard that she is pregnant with your child. Is this true?"

Shen Chou immediately took Yu Ruyue's hand and introduced her, "That's right! This is my wife, her last name is Yu!"

"Oh! Madam! Lift your head and let me see."

Yu Ruyue immediately raised her head. When she saw the young man sitting on the dragon throne, she felt a little dazed. This man looked familiar and very similar to Qin Haowen. Could it be that Qin Haowen's father had really seized the throne and then given it to Qin Haowen's half-brother!?

It seems that she must ask Shen Chou more about what will happen in the future when she has time, so that she can take more precautions.

However, the emperor looked at her with a clear, yet tinged, look, especially when he looked at Shen Chou's hand clasped with hers, and even a hint of jealousy...

"Good! Very good! She is indeed stunningly beautiful. No wonder I, a womanizer, am so captivated by her. I just don't know where this Miss Yu comes from. How many people are there in her family? What official position does her father hold? When did she become pregnant? Oh, and I've known you for many years. How come I didn't know you two were married?"

"Could it be that you are hiding this from me?!"

"My dear! I am not Yongle. It really makes me sad that you didn't tell me about this."

Shen Chou immediately said, "Your Majesty! My wife and I met by chance while traveling. We held a very simple ceremony under the witness of the Heaven and Earth. I originally wanted to hold a more grand ceremony for my wife, but after returning, I was assassinated. Thank goodness my wife stayed by my side, taking care of me day and night. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived this life-or-death crisis."

The emperor held the handle of the dragon next to him and looked at Yu Ruyue with a look of uncontrollable resentment.

At this time, the Queen immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over. "It's just a concubine. Your Majesty doesn't think too much about it. When I marry a legitimate wife in the future, I will definitely tell Your Majesty!"
