A red apricot is about to cheat on you

At this tense moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

Two dark lines had quietly appeared on his forehead, a manifestation of his inner torment and tension. His fingers were clenched tightly together, his knuckles turning pale from the excessive force, and then he turned and walked away!

It took a long time for Ah Zhu to recover from the suffocating atmosphere. At that moment, his heart and eyes were filled with the tenderness that Yi Duoer had just revealed. The moment Yi Duoer let go of him, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up. That smile was filled with relief, touching, and a hint of indescribable emotion quietly spreading.

"Daddy, go pick up Xiaoran!" Yi Duoer's voice was urgent and full of anxiety, instantly pulling Azhu back from his thoughts.

He was shocked and quickly turned around and rushed to the pile of matches, carefully holding Xiao Ran in his arms.

His eyes were full of heartache and pity, and his voice was choked with excitement: "Baby, it's okay, daddy is here to save you." Those words seemed to be comforting Xiaoran, and also like giving himself a reassurance.

"Shameless! The women of Qi Dynasty are really lowly!" Tuoba Hong's roar broke the brief silence, however,

At this moment, he no longer had any reason to deal with Gu Yizhou's child.

Yi Duoer stood there, fearless. Coming from the modern era, where feudal ideas were deeply ingrained, her actions might not be understood, but in order to rescue Xiao Ran, she felt that kissing A Zhu was perfectly normal and not harmful at all.

So, she just shrugged lightly, looked directly at Tuoba Hong's ridicule with clear eyes, and responded neither servile nor arrogant:

"What? Is it illegal for me to kiss my own husband? How dare the little Khan insult my husband and me like this? If you still doubt that Xiaoran is Gu Yizhou's daughter and our identities, you can come and peek into our bed at night! See if we are really husband and wife!" Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the air, making everyone around her stunned.

Tuoba Hong was speechless for a moment after hearing her words, "You..."

He subconsciously raised his finger and pointed at Yi Duoer, his lips slightly opened, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

His face flushed crimson, and the rage in his heart burned fiercely, yet he had no way to vent it.

Seeing him like this, Yi Duoer ignored him and turned to face the people around her.

Her sharp tongue once again opened up, trying to clear up everyone's doubts:

"Everyone, whatever grudge you have against Gu Yi has nothing to do with us! Please don't vent your hatred on a baby. And don't be deceived in vain. The reason the Crown Princess of Dongli Kingdom made such a false accusation is entirely because their Crown Prince has feelings for me. She was jealous and resorted to this vicious scheme! She set her sights on my child! What a vicious heart!"

Her words were like a sharp blade, slicing through the cloud of suspicion that hung over everyone's heads and deftly redirecting the attack. Everyone's eyes turned to Xie Xingchen, and Ya Yu, who had been hiding behind him, suddenly felt a thorn in her side from countless strange gazes.

A look of fear began to appear on Yayu's face. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she shouted loudly:

"You're talking nonsense. She is obviously Gu Yizhou's child, and you are not from Jiangzhou at all!" Her voice became sharp due to nervousness as she tried to defend herself.

"Hahaha..." Yi Duoer laughed, with a hint of pride in her laughter.

She had deliberately brought the topic to Xie Xingchen and the other two. Now that she saw Yayu so anxious, she knew that her goal had been achieved.

She believed that Tian Khan Tuoba Yu would not allow the matter to escalate, after all, it might affect the relationship between the two countries.

Everything was as she expected. She raised her hand slightly, as if to suppress everyone's excitement, and as if to comfort everyone:

"Well, since this is just a misunderstanding, and the child is the slave's, he's still a living being! Let's just forget it."

"Father Khan..." Tuoba Hong shouted anxiously, his heart full of resentment. This result was far from what he expected.

However, Tuoba Yu reached out and stopped him from saying anything. "Forget it, let's stop here! Don't forget about tomorrow's important event!"

Tuoba Yu's voice was very low, but it was filled with an undeniable majesty. His thick eyebrows were tightly knit together, and his eyes were filled with a stern warning, as if admonishing Tuoba Hong not to lose the big picture for the sake of small details.

Things gradually calmed down, and the civilians and soldiers surrounding the periphery began to slowly disperse.

Yi Duoer watched the crowd gradually thin out and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Tuoba Yu's gaze inadvertently swept across Yi Duoer, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He felt that Yi Duoer looked very familiar.

Not long after, the scene in Jiang Wange's tent that day suddenly emerged in his mind. He clearly remembered that someone knocked him unconscious from behind, and at this moment, the more he looked at Yi Duoer, the more suspicious he felt.

Yi Duo'er and A Zhu were about to turn around and leave when Tuoba Yu's serious voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap exploding in their ears:

"What's your name?" Yi Duo'er's body trembled violently, her face turned pale in an instant, and panic flashed in her eyes.

Yi Duo'er didn't dare to disobey in the slightest. She lowered her head obediently and said her name respectfully, while burying her head as low as possible to avoid Tuoba Yu's sight.

"Raise your head!" Tuoba Yu's voice rang out again, cold and majestic. Yi Duoer had no choice but to slowly raise her head, but she was secretly cursing in her heart: What on earth does this old immortal want to do?

After a long time, Tuoba Yu finally confirmed his doubts. The dark lines on his forehead became more and more obvious, and his expression became extremely gloomy. However, with so many people around him, he couldn't get angry. He just said something meaningful:

"Go down," when these words came out, everyone was surprised and looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

Before anyone could react, Tuoba Yu revealed a sinister smile and turned away surrounded by a group of servants.

Yi Duo'er's face was filled with confusion, and her mind was filled with questions. She didn't understand what Tuoba Yu's sudden action meant. Before she could recover from her thoughts, Xie Xingchen quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm. His eyes were filled with anxiety: "If you come with me, Tuoba Yu might harm you!"

Yi Duoer pushed his hand away with force, her eyes cold:

"You'd better take care of your Crown Princess. Even if he has any thoughts about me, you don't need to worry about it!" After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Xie Xingchen still didn't give up and wanted to chase after her, but Yayu quickly grabbed his arm. Yayu looked at him pitifully and shook her head gently, signaling him not to go.

Xie Xingchen looked at Yi Duoer's back as she walked away, his heart in a mess.

At this time, Azhu walked silently beside Yi Duoer, and the smile on his lips never disappeared.

An irrepressible excitement surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Sangsang, let's get married!"

When Yi Duoer heard this, she stopped abruptly.

She turned her head and looked at Azhu in disbelief, and then she realized that her action to save Xiaoran just now had caused him to misunderstand.

She quickly explained, "Azhu, you know, I had no choice but to save Xiaoran just now. Please don't misunderstand me!" Her tone was firm and sincere, trying to make Azhu understand her intentions.

Azhu was holding Xiaoran in his arms. When he heard Yi Duoer's words, his hands trembled slightly unconsciously.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he forced an ugly smile and explained:

"Hey, Sangsang, I was just joking with you. I didn't expect you to take it so seriously." His words sounded forced and his expression was extremely unnatural.

Yi Duoer saw through Ah Zhu's attempt to save some dignity. So, she followed his words, smiled awkwardly, and said a few self-deprecating words to try to ease the awkward atmosphere.

However, what she didn't notice was that Ah Zhu's eyes were already moist. He subconsciously quickened his pace and took a few steps forward, saying:

"Sangsang, Xiaoran looks hungry. I'll take her to the nurse first and leave now."

After saying this, Ah Zhu hurried forward without waiting for Yi Duo'er's response. Yi Duo'er stood there, watching his receding figure, and sighed helplessly.

Her expression became solemn, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart.
