When the imperial physician arrived, Ye Zhuxi had already fainted.

Fu Jingyuan gently held her and asked anxiously, "How is the Crown Princess?"

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Crown Princess is one month pregnant."

"..."

Fu Jingyuan's eyes lit up immediately as he looked at the unconscious Ye Zhuxi, his eyes filled with worry.

The imperial physician noticed his concern and quickly continued, "It's just that the Crown Princess has just experienced a miscarriage scare and is weak, which is why she is unconscious. She will be fine after taking some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy and resting for a few days!"

Fu Jingyuan checked Ye Zhuxi's pulse again, unsure if she was alright, before he breathed a sigh of relief and gently laid her down.

"Imperial Physician Liu, I do not like others knowing too much about my private affairs, so please do not mention the Crown Princess if anyone asks!"

Physician Liu knelt down in fear: "Your Highness understands what I mean, and I will certainly not tell anyone!"

The next morning, when Ye Zhuxi woke up and learned that she was pregnant, she was stunned for a long time. After calming down, she only had a faint smile on her face.

It wasn't that she disliked her child, but for some reason she felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was about to happen.

Fu Jingyuan knew what she was worried about. Last night, Li An sent news that Ying had been ambushed and seriously injured, and He Ye had escaped with Ye Zhenyu, and their whereabouts were still unknown.

Now that Ye Zhuxi is pregnant, he doesn't want her to know, lest she be heartbroken and it affect the pregnancy.

Seeing her lying on the chaise lounge with a blank look in her eyes, Fu Jingyuan slowly walked in and reached out to touch her stomach.

"What's wrong? You've been looking down lately. Miaomiao has a younger brother or sister now, are you unhappy?"

Speaking of her daughter, Ye Zhuxi's eyes flickered, and after a long while, she sighed deeply and said, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel a tightness in my chest, just like when you and your father had that accident back then!"

At this point, she suddenly sat up: "Could something have happened to Father?"

Fu Jingyuan's eyes darkened. He raised his hand and gently stroked the tip of her nose, softly comforting her, "Aren't we doing fine now? You're just overthinking things because you're pregnant. This will take a toll on your body and affect the baby in your belly!"

Ye Zhuxi frowned slightly: "...Really?"

Fu Jingyuan nodded: "Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhuxi slowly relaxed. She reached out and hugged the man, burying her head deeply in his neck. Inhaling the sandalwood scent emanating from him, her panicked heart finally calmed down.

"Don't do anything dangerous lately. I don't want to end up like before, waiting for you all by myself!"

Feeling the dampness on her neck, Fu Jingyuan's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand and hugged her tightly, nodding his head.

"Okay, I'll always be with you!"

Having received his promise, Ye Zhuxi closed her eyes and unknowingly fell asleep again.

Seeing that her hand had fallen to her side, Fu Jingyuan bent down and carried her to the bed, patting her back and gently coaxing her.

Ang Lee waited outside for half an hour before Fu Jingyuan finally came out.

His face was gloomy, a complete contrast to when he was in front of Ye Zhuxi.

"how's it going?"

"Ying was seriously injured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. He Ye and Ye Zhenyu have disappeared and we don't know where they are."

Fu Jingyuan's eyes darkened: "If we can't find it, then they definitely won't find it either. Increase manpower and make sure we find the lotus leaf before they do!"

"Yes!"

Fu Jingyuan glanced back at Ye Zhuxi, who was sleeping inside the house, and then stepped out of the courtyard.

In the prison.

"Tell me, who ordered you to save Ye Zhenyu!"

Ying was beaten black and blue, her dark blue clothes stained red, her head hung low, her face was pale, and she bit her lip tightly. She hadn't said a word since she was beaten.

As soon as Fu Jingyuan walked in, he smelled a strong and pungent stench of blood in the air!

When Lu Chuan saw him, he signaled his men to stop what they were doing.

"Why has Your Highness come to a place like this?"

Fu Jingyuan coldly raised his eyes: "What, can't I come?"

Lu Chuan chuckled: "No, it's just that this place is filthy, and I'm afraid it would offend Your Highness's eyes!"

Fu Jingyuan looked at Ying, who was beaten to the point of near death, and his expression became even colder.

"Is he the one who saved Ye Zhenyu?"

Lu Chuan glanced at Ying a few times, his smile widening: "Yes, I wonder who gave her the guts!"

Lu Chuan is a cunning and treacherous man; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so trusted by Fu Chenchu.

"Then we mustn't let such a heinous criminal escape. The High Priest must interrogate him thoroughly!"

Lu Chuan curled his lips, his gaze playful: "Your subject will certainly not let down the Crown Prince and the Emperor!"

Both of them knew the truth. Fu Jingyuan glanced at Ying a few times, then turned and left.

……

Li An was secretly searching for He Ye's whereabouts, leading his men from house to house. They practically turned the entire capital upside down. When they couldn't find her, he hurried back to report.

On his way back, he bumped into an old woman and knocked her down. He bent down to help her up, and she secretly slipped him a note before hurrying away.

He walked to a dark corner and opened the note.

Chengbei Alley

Following the address, Ang Lee arrived at a house.

The person who opened the door was an elderly couple.

The couple exchanged a glance, then looked outside to make sure no one was following them, and quickly pulled him inside.

Ang Lee handed the note to the two of them: "This is the person who sent me here!"

"...Come inside with us."

As they talked, the two led him into the house, then touched the wall, which suddenly began to rotate and a door slowly opened.

Ang Lee suddenly realized why so many people couldn't find it; it had been hidden in a secret passage.

"They're inside. Go in, and we'll keep watch for you!"

Ying met the two elderly people a few years ago when she went to dig for medicinal herbs. At that time, they were surrounded by several wild wolves and were about to be bitten. Fortunately, Ying arrived in time, killed the wolves, saved them, and settled the two people here.

They had no children of their own, so they treated He Ye and Ying as their own. When He Ye brought the unconscious Ye Zhenyu here, she helped her hide without hesitation, which is why no one could find her.

Looking into the dark tunnel, Li An knew they were inside. He nodded gratefully and stepped inside.

The passageway inside was narrow, but it opened up after a few steps. He followed the light and saw two people inside. The woman was sitting on the edge of the wooden bed, and she looked like the person who had given him the note. There was also someone lying on the bed.

Hearing the voice, Lotus Leaf turned to look at the person who had entered...

……

After resting for a few days, Ye Zhuxi was full of energy again. Seeing that Fu Jingyuan had been busy these past few days and had no time to spend with her, she went to the study to keep him company.

Now that she is pregnant, she is naturally not worried that Fu Jingyuan will once again indulge in his beastly desires and torment her.

"Big brother!"

She arrived at the study door and saw the man writing something inside. She called out sweetly and went in.

Fu Jingyuan looked up, and when he saw that it was her, a smile instantly appeared in his cold eyes.
