Arrogant and domineering because of his good looks: His Majesty always pretends to be righteous

"Bang... bang..."

With a loud crash, the two robbers fell to the ground in opposite directions, writhing in pain and howling like wolves.

"You ignorant fools, don't you even know who I am? I am a great general who has been on the battlefield for many years. Do you think I can't even subdue the two of you?"

Two of the robbers were beaten so badly that they had no choice but to leave quietly, trembling with fear.

He then snapped out of his daze and noticed the woman sitting inside the haystack.

"Please hold on, madam, I'll take you home right away!"

In no time, the carriage sped back to the palace. Everyone was terrified and at a loss for words when they saw what was happening before them.

"How could this happen so suddenly? Quickly, let Madam come inside..."

"Quickly call the midwife over..."

The entire palace was thrown into chaos.

The maids were extremely busy, each with a worried expression, fearing that something might have really happened to the mistress.

Inside the house came only the heart-wrenching screams of women, the sounds rising and falling.

"Hold on, you have to push! The little prince is about to come out, just hang in there a little longer."

The midwife standing by was sweating profusely with anxiety. Everyone was on tenterhooks, but seeing the scene before them, there was nothing they could do but worry helplessly.

She felt her head was spinning, as if it were about to explode, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Master, am I about to die? It doesn't matter if I die, but you must promise me that you will help Xia Rongliu. She is my benefactor. Even if you are unwilling to help everyone, you must help this one! Otherwise, I will not rest in peace even if I die."

Lord He held his hand tightly, his heart heavy. Looking at his soft, delicate appearance, he could only nod in agreement.

After an unknown amount of time, with a loud cry, everything returned to calm.

"It's born! It's born..."

"It's the youngest son! That's great, I have an heir now!"

The little maidservant excitedly carried the child out of the house, her joy evident on her face.

The old man, however, was filled with worry. He glanced coldly at the child in his arms and then went into the room, which was filled with a deathly atmosphere and a strong smell of blood.

The woman lay quietly on the bed. Her pale face suggested she wouldn't live much longer, and she looked extremely weak.

When the woman saw the old man enter, she forced herself to collapse into his arms.

She stared at the man before her with pitiful, large eyes, her heart filled with mixed emotions, like a shattered bottle of flavors, all intertwined together.

"Sir! I've never asked you for anything in my life, but you must agree to this."

"If you don't agree, I will never die in peace..."

The adult looked furious, but he didn't want to agree to the matter at all. If it weren't for these two people coming, his family probably wouldn't have suffered such a devastating disaster.

"You should just rest now and stop thinking about useless things..."

On the other side, Xia Rongliu also woke up from her deep sleep. Her face was as pale as snow, with no color in it at all.

Her small hands were clenched tightly together, as if she was about to say something, but when the words came out, she couldn't utter a single one.

"You need to rest properly. Your high fever has just subsided, and you've been very weak these past few days..."

Xia Zhanxin quickly stood by and comforted him, her eyes fixed on him, not wanting to miss a single detail.

She blinked her bright, lively eyes, gazing intently at him.

"How is Madam? Has anything happened recently?"

"It's like I can't remember anything..."

She stubbornly grabbed his sleeve, looking at him with a pitiful expression, eagerly awaiting an answer.

Xia Zhanxin dared not face those clear eyes, nor did she want to tell her the disappointing truth.

"boom……"

With a loud bang, a little girl walked in at an inopportune moment, her face tense and arrogant, her expression sharp and stern.

"How dare you say that? Our mistress is in this state because of you. If anything happens to our young lady, our master probably won't let you off the hook either."

"I really regret letting the two of you into our palace. Our palace was originally peaceful, but it has been ruined because of the two of you."

She clenched her teeth and spoke each word clearly, as if only in this way could she vent her inner dissatisfaction.

Xia Rongliu's eyes showed a hint of surprise as she struggled to get up from the bed.

"Don't stop me, I need to go see Madam. We need to ask for help right now, we absolutely can't let her fall to this state."

Xia Zhanxin hurriedly tried to stop her, but her hand grasped at empty air.

The little girl, however, inappropriately stood in the center, her proud little face held high, looking as if she were there to interrogate someone.

"I won't allow you to go out."

"Our palace is in complete chaos right now, what use would you be if you went out?"

"Are you trying to play the good guy? We don't need you. I'm even worried that if you go out, what if our lady really loses her life?"

Xia Rongliu glared at the little girl fiercely, unwilling to pay any attention to her nonsense.

She rushed out the door without thinking, and as soon as she reached the door, she heard whispers inside. Through the door, she could see two people talking quietly, and the lady's expression was already very weak.

The girls outside all stared at her with blank expressions and hatred. Xia Rongliu looked at those hysterical gazes and didn't know how to explain.

"What are you doing here? Isn't it enough? My wife is on the verge of death. We don't even know if she'll make it through tonight. My husband said you're absolutely not allowed to go in."

"Miss, please make yourself at home!"

"The imperial physicians have said that our lady is unlikely to survive this ordeal!"

She clenched her fists tightly, her joints creaking and cracking.

"Let me in, maybe I can save your lady!"

"you……"

The suspicious gaze began to sweep back and forth over him.

The little girl gave a disdainful snort!

"Let's see just how capable you are, you greenhorn. Since you're so eager to go in, then go in. If our master kicks you out, that's none of my business..."

Xia Rongliu ignored it and pushed open the door to enter the room. As soon as she entered, a suffocating atmosphere hit her.
