My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

Qi Ran felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his mind, and he unconsciously took a step back.

He stammered, "You... what do you want to do?"

Qi Shangqing said coldly, "Don't be afraid. What, you're actually afraid now? You're the master, aren't you?"

Qi Ran swallowed silently, and before he knew it, he was sitting down on the chair.

He held onto something beside him with both hands and leaned back slightly.

His eyelids started twitching uncontrollably.

He intended to take this opportunity to get up, but in the blink of an eye, Qi Shangqing was already in front of him.

Qi Shangqing glanced casually at Tu Ling standing to the side, "What, are you going to stand by and watch me discipline my son?"

Tu Ling's expression was rather unpleasant.

After a moment of silence, he quickly bowed to Qi Shangqing and then swiftly left the Prince's residence.

After leaving the Prince's residence, Tu Ling braced herself against the wall with one hand and covered her chest with the other.

She looked around warily, and only after finding no one around did she roll up her sleeves high.

At this moment, a blue vein appeared on her wrist, which looked very obvious.

The next instant, that blue vein began to twitch.

She silently pulled her sleeves down again.

Tu Ling slightly raised her eyelids, a hint of worry in her eyes; her medicine was running out.

She turned around and looked at the Prince's residence behind her, a cold glint gradually appearing in her eyes.

"Since you two old geezers hate me so much, let's see if you can hold out longer or if I can hold out longer."

Tu Ling snorted coldly, then left without looking back.

In the Prince's Mansion.

Qi Ran's eyes, which had been slightly cloudy, gradually regained a clear look.

He looked up and saw the scene before him, his face filled with confusion.

Qi Ran couldn't help but speak up, "Why are you holding a wooden stick and standing so close to me?"

Qi Shangqing's lips slowly curled up, revealing a big smile to Qi Ran.

The next moment, he tightened his grip on the wooden stick in his hand. "Don't worry, you'll know the answer soon enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Shangqing swung the wooden stick in his hand and struck Qi Ran directly on the knee.

Qi Ran's eyes widened instantly.

The surroundings seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The next moment, Qi Ran jumped up, hugging his legs.

He shoved Qi Shangqing aside, glaring at him angrily, "Are you crazy? Are you trying to kill me?"

As Qi Shangqing spoke, he kept rubbing the spot where he had been hit.

His movements were swift enough, but Qi Shangqing's movements were even faster.

The moment he stood up, Qi Shangqing quickly stepped forward, waving the wooden stick in his hand.

Each blow landed squarely on Qi Ran's body.

Every part of Qi Ran's body ached.

He kept shouting, "Dad, do you really want to beat me to death?!"

Qi Shangqing pointed at Qi Ran, panting heavily.

He gripped the wooden stick tightly with both hands. "You bastard, didn't I warn you before? I had no problem with Tu Ling getting along well with you guys, but you're a married man now. How can you still be so muddle-headed and reckless as before?"

Qi Ran was in excruciating pain all over her body, but she managed to squeeze out two tears.

The pain spread from one spot to another on my body.

He couldn't hear what the other person was saying at all.

He pursed his lips, gasped, and then felt a little better.

"Tell me what outrageous things you've done lately, bringing other women to You Ning's side, and even after I spoke to your mother, you still haven't changed your ways!"

The more Qi Shangqing spoke, the angrier he became.

He tapped Qi Ran lightly with the wooden stick in his hand, "And You Ning's body was already weak. It's so difficult for her to carry a child, and she just died because of you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Shangqing gripped the wooden stick tightly and struck Qi Ran hard on the buttocks.

Qi Ran was in so much pain that her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground, her back to Qi Shangqing.

He looked up slightly and saw a familiar hem of clothing in front of him.

He quickly reached out and grabbed the hem of her dress in front of him. "Mother! Mother! Please save me! My father has gone mad! He's going to beat me to death!"

Jiang Zhu snorted coldly, forcefully snatched the dress from Qi Ran's hand, and involuntarily took a step back.

"I think you deserve a beating; you won't learn your lesson unless you're beaten."

Qi Shangqing raised an eyebrow. "You brat, how dare you talk to your mother like that!"

Qi Shangqing tightened his grip on the wooden stick, raised it high, and finally landed it swiftly and accurately on Qi Ran's buttocks.

This strike seemed to have used all of his strength.

Qi Ran stood ramrod straight, his head tilting back as far as he could, his feet leaving the ground, and cried out in pain, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

His ass!

The next moment, Qi Ran's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Jiang Zhuo stepped forward and kicked Qi Ran, "Did you really break him?"

Qi Shangqing casually tossed the wooden stick aside. "How could that be? He's thick-skinned and tough. Besides, you haven't seen how he's treated you and me these days. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll become even more lawless in no time."

Suddenly, Jiang Zhuo paused.

She narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on a spot next to Qi Ran.

She quickly went to Qi Shangqing's side and gently tugged at his sleeve. "Your Highness, look, what's that?"

Qi Shangqing looked in the direction Jiang Zhuo was pointing.

Suddenly, a blood-red worm appeared on the ground.

The insect looked extremely plump.

It must have consumed a lot of nutrients.

It was now split in two, and the two halves were wriggling slightly on the ground.

Qi Shangqing frowned, instinctively shielding Jiang Zhuo behind him, and bent down to pick up the wooden stick he had just thrown aside.

He used one end of a stick to poke the insect straight into its body.

In an instant, crimson liquid spurted out, turning into blood in the blink of an eye.

Qi Ran, who was unconscious, slowly had a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Qi Shangqing muttered softly, "What is this thing? It's blood red, and it looks really creepy."

Meanwhile, in a little-known inn.

Tu Ling had just sat down and was about to pour herself a cup of tea.

Suddenly, he clutched his chest with one hand, and a metallic, sweet taste surged up in his throat.

The next instant, a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining everything in front of him with a strange color.

Tu Ling's face showed a look of panic.

She suddenly stood up, preparing to leave the inn.

But after walking only a few steps, my heart started to clench in waves.

Tu Ling had no choice but to sit back in her original seat.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

how come?

She should still have time!

Just as she was deep in thought, her brow furrowed again, and that feeling from before surged back into her heart.

"puff!"

Another mouthful of blood spurted out.

From what I could vaguely see, this time the blood had a hint of black.

Tu Ling panicked completely.

Her baby!

There are only two of them in the world.
