A red apricot is about to cheat on you

"Yuyao, listen to me, you have to face it bravely. I love you, don't push me away! In this life, I have fallen in love with you and will never fall in love with anyone else."

Han Bo's voice was gentle and firm. He stared at Yu Yao's tear-stained face, his eyes full of pity.

He slowly stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears that kept falling for her. Then, he exerted a little force and hugged Yuyao tightly in his arms. His arms were like the most solid harbor, trying to give her a full sense of security.

In the face of Han Bo's affectionate confession and warm embrace, no matter how earnestly others tried to comfort and advise him, it all seemed so pale and powerless.

Yuyao's cold and desperate heart was gradually melted by Hanbo's deep affection, so the two opened their hearts to each other, and the previous estrangement and pain disappeared at this moment, and they reconciled.

The next morning, as the sun was just shining on the camp, she planned to go see Yuyao.

However, the trajectory of fate is always unexpected. At this moment, an uninvited guest came - Xie Xingchen.

After just a few days of not seeing him, he seemed to have been severely worn down by the years. His figure became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye. His once bright eyes and brows now had a deep sorrow.

"What are you doing here?" The moment Yi Duoer saw him, her brows slightly frowned, and her tone was filled with obvious displeasure and vigilance.

She really doesn't dare to have any contact with him now. The experience of being misunderstood as a mistress was like a nightmare, and she still feels scared.

Xie Xingchen lowered his head slightly, with a hint of guilt and loneliness in his eyes, and said lightly: "I want to say sorry to you."

Yi Duo'er waved her hand without hesitation to stop his apology. Her expression was firm and distant, and her tone was cold: "No! No need to apologize. I can't bear this apology from Your Highness the Crown Prince. The greatest apology you can give me is for you to stay away from me."

"Duo'er, are you going to milk the goats? I'll go with you. Can we do the same as before?"

Xie Xingchen seemed not to have heard Yi Duoer's rejection at all. His brain automatically ignored her indifference and forced a flattering smile on his face.

In his heart, he knew that he had been "poisoned" by Yi Duoer.

But he just couldn't quit it no matter what. Her every frown and smile was like a deep imprint in his mind, lingering in his thoughts all the time.

As expected, Yi Duoer was about to refuse, but Xie Xingchen didn't give her the chance and quickly changed the subject.

"Tomorrow, after I finish my official duties, I will take you back to Dongli Kingdom. I have already written a letter to my father, the emperor, and my mother, requesting a divorce from Yayu."

At this moment, Yi Duoer looked at Xie Xingchen, who looked like a weak scholar in front of her, and felt that his stubborn character was even more powerful than Chu Junye's.

Just as they were talking, Chu Jingchen came towards them like a gust of wind.

There was obvious anger in his eyes as he strode forward, putting a distance between the two of them.

Just as they were at a stalemate and the atmosphere was as tense as a bowstring about to break, Old Yan came rushing over with an anxious look on his face. He looked panicked and said in a hurried voice:

"Oh no! Xiao Ran was taken away by a group of soldiers. Someone reported that Xiao Ran is the descendant of Master Gu."

"What? How could this happen?" Yi Duo'er's face instantly turned extremely panicked when she heard the news, and her words were full of worry and fear. Seeing this, Xie Xingchen whispered soothingly, trying to calm Yi Duo'er down and not worry.

Old Yan's face was filled with anger at this moment. He pushed Xie Xingchen away and said angrily:

"Xie Xingchen, how dare you say that? It was your Crown Princess who informed Tuoba that Xiao Ran was the descendant of Lord Gu."

When Xie Xingchen heard this, his body was like an eggplant hit by frost. He was stunned for a few seconds, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Yi Duoer's gaze was as cold as ice, and she shot it straight at Xie Xingchen. With anger and resentment in her eyes, she said in a cold tone, "Xie Xingchen, if anything happens to Xiao Ran, I swear, I will torture and kill your Crown Princess!"

The royal court was bustling with activity at this moment, and many people gathered outside the court.

These people lost their loved ones in the war. They were filled with grief and anger and had nowhere to vent, so they blindly put the blame for all this on Gu Yizhou.

Now when they heard that he still had descendants in Tiger City, they were immediately outraged and surrounded the royal court, wanting to see how Tian Khan would deal with Gu Yizhou's descendants.

Chu Jingchen was thoughtful and took advantage of the chaos to quickly instruct his men to make thorough preparations for tomorrow's attack.

Afterwards, he stood quietly beside Yi Duoer, like a silent and reliable mountain, giving her silent support and strength.

At this time, Tian Khan walked out slowly with majestic steps. Seeing that the people were so excited, he still kept a calm expression on his face. He turned to look at the official beside him and signaled with his eyes to bring the baby up.

Xiao Ran was placed in the middle of a bed of firewood. She was only five months old at the moment and was innocent. She had no idea that she was in extreme danger. She was grinning with great joy, and her clear laughter seemed so out of place in this tense and depressing atmosphere.

Yi Duoer could no longer remain calm. She was extremely anxious. She grabbed Ah Zhu's hand and rushed directly to the stage without hesitation. She shouted in an extremely angry tone: "You took my child away. What do you want to do?"

Tuoba Hong's face darkened, and he immediately had Yi Duo'er and A Zhu restrained. His tone was as cold as the biting wind in the coldest days of winter:

"Someone reported that this child is Gu Yizhou's flesh and blood, not yours. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will burn you all together."

Yi Duo'er ignored his threats. She glared at Tuoba Hong fiercely and loudly refuted him, asking who had reported him and on what basis he could say they were not the child's parents.

At this time, Chu Jingchen and Yi Duoer seemed to have a telepathic connection. Chu Jingchen raised his hand and gestured, trying to convey to everyone that the child was innocent, in an attempt to mobilize the people who were blinded by anger.

Yi Duoer saw that these people were blinded by hatred, and she knew that no matter how she persuaded them, it would be difficult to change their minds, but she still refused to give up.

She seized the opportunity, broke free from the soldiers' obstruction, came to the center of the stage, and shouted with all her strength:

"You hate Gu Yizhou, but should you vent your anger on a baby? What's the difference between you and the devil? Speaking of which, was it Gu Yizhou's fault that wars broke out over the years? Did he initiate the war? It was clearly the people in power above you who started the war!"

When Tian Khan heard these words, he was shocked. He was worried that Yi Duoer's words would cause greater chaos, so he quickly asked someone to stop Yi Duoer.

However, Xie Xingchen secretly sent people to stop the people who came to stop him. Seeing this, Tian Khan's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted angrily: "Xie Xingchen, are you going to disregard the alliance between the two tribes for a woman?"

Xie Xingchen simply said: "A strong person will not hurt a weak child!" His voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

"You..." Tian Khan was speechless after hearing his words and couldn't refute a word.

Yi Duoer took this opportunity to speak again, "Are your relatives the only ones who died in this war? Aren't the people of Jiangzhou also like this?"

Yi Duoer became more and more excited as she spoke, but in the end she sadly discovered that these people had been completely brainwashed, brainwashed by those in power with hatred and lies.

No matter how earnestly she tried to persuade them, the people still hated Gu Yizhou and were unwavering in their determination to kill Xiao Ran. They kept telling her to get out of the house, or they would burn her with them.

Yi Duoer turned her head helplessly to look at Tian Khan, and said in a slightly lowered but still firm voice: "Tian Khan, Xiao Ran is the child of Nu and A Zhu, don't listen to groundless rumors."

At this time, Azhu also hurried forward and echoed Yi Duoer's words. He said loudly that if they didn't believe it, they could send someone to verify it.

In fact, Tian Khan didn’t care at all whose child Xiao Ran was. He only knew that in his opinion, killing a child could calm the public anger, which was an extremely cost-effective "deal".

He originally wanted to kill Yi Duoer to prevent future troubles, but Xie Xingchen was so determined to protect her that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Tuoba Hong saw that Tian Khan was obviously worried. He knew that Tian Khan was on guard against Xie Xingchen, so he said to Yi Duoer:

"You said the child is yours? What evidence do you have? What indications do you have? Some people even say that you two are not husband and wife at all. And you are from the capital!"

He was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that Yi Duoer would not be able to answer, after all, blood relationship was difficult to verify. But who knew that he was wrong this time.

When Yi Duoer heard him say this, she thought quickly and soon came up with a plan. She turned her head slightly, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and raised her hand to kiss Ah Zhu.

This action shocked everyone present; they had never seen anything so bold.

In their minds, it was really hard to believe that they were not husband and wife. After all, there was no woman in this world who would be willing to sacrifice her chastity for a lie.

Everyone turned their heads away shyly, and some respectable officials even scowled with anger, cursing, "What an insult to society!"

And then he turned away. Among all the astonishment, Chu Jingchen was the most shocked. He stared at Yi Duoer with wide eyes, his heart full of mixed feelings, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in his heart.
