On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The absolute darkness that enveloped the sky and the earth was suddenly lifted as if by an invisible giant hand, and the sunlight once again shone on the earth. The dazzling light made people who were accustomed to the darkness feel briefly dizzy.

Lin Zhen walked alone on the quiet stone path of the palace. The mottled light and shadow fell on him through the branches and leaves of the trees, but it could not dispel the heaviness in his heart.

The danger that Qingxia and her son encountered this time, apart from the sneak attack by that damn assassin, there might be a more hidden reason.

During this period, perhaps because she had neglected him, or perhaps because she wanted to rely on her own willpower to fight it out, she did not take Lin Zhen's special medicine regularly.

As we all know, Lin Zhen’s special medicine can not only strengthen the body, but also cure all diseases.

This is the special effect of the heart-eating insect.

Perhaps the heart-eating insect doesn't want to die either, so it will do its best to protect the host.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Lin Zhen's heart instantly rose to his throat.

If this is true, then what about his other concubines who are also pregnant?

Are Gu Zhen, Yue Wu, and the others also quietly falling into danger without realizing it because they also failed to take their medicine on time?!

A strong sense of fear and terror gripped him.

No! I have to go and see it immediately!

I would rather my child be infected by the heart-eating insect than repeat the same mistake as today.

He turned around and walked quickly towards the villa where Gu Zhen lived with a clear goal.

Gu Zhen has a very calm personality, speaks the least, and rarely makes requests, so she is the one most likely to endure silently.

After taking a few steps, Lin Zhen paused slightly. Without turning his head, he said in a cold voice to Hou Chun, the guard who was following him like a shadow not far away: "Hou Chun, how is the training going over at Tiandao?"

Hou Chun, with his upright posture and calm demeanor, immediately took a half step forward, clasped his fists and bowed. His voice was not loud but clear enough: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, the members of the Tiandao tribe are strictly following the daily training plan and are making good progress. However, it may take some time to reach the graduation standard required by the Crown Prince."

Lin Zhen's eyes became fierce, and a trace of violent hostility surged in his eyes.

The image of Qingxia covered in blood and the baby's fragile cry after being resurrected from the dead exploded in his mind again!

He clenched his fists tightly, his voice filled with unquestionable murderous determination: "Graduation? Humph! Never mind those bullshit standards! We don't have time to wait for them to graduate slowly!" He turned around and stared at Hou Chun, every word was like ice-hardened and blazing: "Immediately! Release all the assassins that Tiandao has who are able to fight! Target Xuanhemen! And Hardmen!"

He gritted his teeth, each word ringing loudly: "Dig it out! Dig three feet into the ground and find their rat's nest! How dare they send assassins to assassinate my palace?! This blood feud, I will avenge! I want them to... pay with blood! Do you understand?!"

"I obey your command!" Hou Chun felt the rage and murderous intent from the prince that was almost turning into reality. His heart trembled, and he did not dare to hesitate at all, and responded immediately.

Just as Hou Chun was about to turn around and run away, Lin Zhen's voice rang out again, like an icy iron rule: "Wait!"

Hou Chun stopped immediately and waited with bated breath.

Lin Zhen's eyes were sinister and sharp. "Go tell Qingxia! Tell her to teach the Twelve Immortals a lesson! Wake them up! They should remember this humiliation! After the lesson, send them out immediately! Protect all the ladies, like Gu Zhen, Sima Chunlei, Qingwen, Chu Xiling, Zhang Li, and Wan'er! Make sure you have enough manpower. From now on, the safety of all the ladies will be upgraded to the highest level! Protect them like an iron barrel! Never let what happened today happen again!"

"I understand! I will definitely take this order to Madam Qingxia with all its original words! I will ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

Hou Chun's voice was firm and decisive. He clasped his hands together so hard that his knuckles turned white. He nodded heavily, then turned around without hesitation and disappeared around the corner of the corridor like the wind to convey this thundering order.

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart, and strode towards Gu Zhen's villa.

This is a relatively secluded courtyard.

Just as Lin Zhen walked not far from the courtyard gate, he saw a woman in simple cloth clothes and an apron carrying a large wooden bucket. Water was rippled on the edge of the bucket, and it was obvious that it was not light. She was about to step over the high threshold of the courtyard gate.

"Mrs. Gu?" Lin Zhen was a little surprised and shouted.

The woman turned around at the sound, her face startled at first, but when she recognized Lin Zhen, she immediately broke into a simple and warm smile. She hurriedly put down the bucket and wiped her hands on her apron: "Hey! Prince! Why are you here? Come in quickly!"

As she spoke, she bent down again to pick up the bucket.

Lin Zhen frowned and quickly stepped forward to stop her: "What are you doing? How can I let you carry such a heavy bucket by yourself? Where are the maids and servants in the yard? What do they do for a living?"

There was obvious displeasure and accusation in his tone.

Madam Gu waved her hands quickly, her smile showing some habitual hard work: "Oh, your Excellency is too kind! It's not too serious, it's nothing. I've been used to doing things myself for many years. Those little maids are clumsy, it's really better for me to do it! Your Excellency, please come in!"

She firmly refused Lin Zhen's offer of help, picked up the bucket again, and walked into the yard with quick steps.

Lin Zhen had no choice but to follow him in.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see that the entire courtyard is extremely tidy and clean. There is not even a fallen leaf to be seen. The flowers and plants are trimmed meticulously. It is obviously the result of Mrs. Gu's long-term and careful care.

In the small carved pavilion in the center of the courtyard, Gu Zhen was sitting quietly at the stone table with an obviously pregnant belly, holding a book in her hands, and gently turning the pages with her slender fingers.

The sunlight shines on her cool face, giving her a sense of tranquility far away from the hustle and bustle.

"Zhen'er! The prince is here to see you!" Mrs. Gu put down the bucket and shouted happily towards the pavilion.

Gu Zhen raised his head when he heard the voice and saw Lin Zhen walking into the yard. There was no surprise on his face, only his usual calmness.

She put down the book in her hand, supported herself on the stone table with one hand, and protected her abdomen with the other. She stood up slowly and walked down the steps of the pavilion step by step. When she came to Lin Zhen, she still performed a perfect, distanced blessing, and said in a calm voice: "Greetings, husband."

Lin Zhen looked at her cold and distant appearance, and the pity in his heart caused by worry grew a little stronger.

"Ah."

He nodded, his eyes sweeping over her bulging belly. "How are you feeling lately? Are you feeling unwell?"

His tone softened somewhat.

"Thanks to my husband, I'm fine." Gu Zhen's voice was still calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on the seemingly overly empty and quiet courtyard, and the bucket that had just been placed in the corner. His brows furrowed again. "I know you're a quiet person, don't like to compete with others, and don't make a fuss about anything. But that's no reason for you to put yourself in a difficult position and let your mother do the hard work herself!"

His voice was filled with an undeniable seriousness. "Where are the maids and servants in the yard? Where did they go?"

Gu Zhen seemed unresponsive to the harshness in his tone, and continued calmly, "My dear husband, I only have one personal maidservant with me since childhood. She is out shopping and hasn't returned yet. As for the servant on duty in the courtyard—"

Her eyes swept calmly across the empty corners of the corridors. "Probably somewhere they rest."

"Bastard!" Lin Zhen's anger suddenly rose, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time found an outlet. He slammed the pillar beside him, making a dull sound.

"This is outrageous! The master is standing here waiting on him, and the servant dares to go and rest?! Come here!"

He shouted into the air, "This instant! Call all the maids and servants on duty in this courtyard over to me! Don't leave any one behind!"

A maidservant standing outside the courtyard was startled by the prince's roar and hurriedly responded, "Yes! Prince!"

He turned around and ran to call for help.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gu knew that she had nothing to do next, so she smiled at Lin Zhen tactfully and quietly retreated to the room where she was staying temporarily.

Lin Zhen stretched out his hand, gently put his arm around Gu Zhen's waist, and half-supported and half-led her into the house: "It's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."

There was a kind of hard tenderness in his movements.
