The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

Zhu Xiaoyan nervously gripped the blanket. Why would Lu Yan come back at this time? What should she do if he saw Miss Siqi?

"Princess Consort, please think it over. I have delivered my message and will be leaving now."

"Wait a moment." Zhu Xiaoyan called out to Siqi, who was about to leave, and said, "Tell the Princess Consort to be careful of Lu Yan and the Second Prince."

As soon as she finished speaking, no one was at the window anymore; only Zhu Xiaoyan was staring blankly at the empty window.

Lu Yan saw this scene as soon as he entered the room. He frowned and went forward to close the window.

"How are the people below taking care of you? How can they let you sleep with the window open? Wouldn't that make things worse? Your health is not good, and the people below are becoming more and more lax."

Zhu Xiaoyan buried herself in the quilt and said with a cold laugh, "What, killing Hongshan isn't enough, you're thinking of finding an excuse to kill Luyi? Or you'll only feel at ease if you kill me too."

"How dare you speak like that!" Lu Yan looked at her with displeasure.

"Does it matter what I say? Since you're capable of doing it, don't be afraid of people talking about it. Heh heh heh, do you really think you can keep your dirty secrets hidden forever?"

Lu Yan grabbed her neck and said in a sinister tone, "You're right, only the dead can keep secrets, but Xiaoyan, we're husband and wife. Can't you think more about me? You'll only be okay if I'm okay. Can't you just pretend you don't know?"

"No way! Either strangle me right now, or get out of here and stop disgusting me!"

Zhu Xiaoyan looked fearless. She was already in this state, so what was there to lose? Even if she died, she would not let him have his way.

"Hmph!" Lu Yan shook her off.

Zhu Xiaoyan immediately collapsed onto the bed, touching her neck and coughing incessantly, her face turning bright red.

Outside, Green Robe heard that her masters seemed to be arguing again, and she paced anxiously back and forth.

"Xiaoyan, you are the most rational girl. Think it through. This is good for you and good for me. Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. You know how I feel about you."

Lu Yan put on a gentle expression again and stepped forward to personally pull the blanket up for her, but this gentleness made Zhu Xiaoyan feel cold. She was afraid that he could smother her to death with the blanket in the next moment.

Lu Yan didn't do that. He said, "You and your cousin Su Xi have a good relationship. If you're still not feeling well, then find a suitable day to let your cousin Su Xi move in. That way, you'll have someone to keep you company."

Zhu Xiaoyan stared wide-eyed in disbelief and said, "Lu Yan, you're such a beast! She's just a naive young girl. You've already ruined me, are you going to ruin someone else who doesn't know the truth too?"

"Think it over carefully yourself. I'm leaving."

"You beast! Lu Yan, you're a beast! Cough cough cough cough cough."

Seeing the prince leave in a big stride, Green Robe dared to go in. The princess was coughing so badly that she had to rush to serve tea and water, which kept her busy.

When Siqi returned, the lights in the main courtyard had already been turned off. She didn't encounter the princess, but she did run into Xiao Yi.

"The princess said you should go to sleep as soon as you get back, and come back to report tomorrow morning."

"You talk too much," Siqi said, pursing her lips.

"You brat, why aren't you grateful? I've been waiting for you here all this way."

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

"Seeing that someone hasn't eaten yet, I specially saved a beggar's chicken for you. I just don't know if Miss Siqi will do me the honor."

Siqi smiled awkwardly and said, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you. Who is it?"

The two men's expressions hardened, and Xiao Yi began to survey his surroundings. A figure flashed by, and Si Qi lunged forward.

The man clearly didn't want to fight Siqi and turned to leave. However, Siqi wouldn't let someone sneak into the Prince's mansion at night get away with it, and she stopped him with a kick.

"Who dares to break into the Prince's mansion at night!"

The man, dressed in black and blindfolded, didn't say a word and immediately attacked Siqi.

After a few moves, Siqi was clearly no match for the man, who kicked her arm. Xiaoyi quickly stepped forward to support Siqi.

"Siqi, be careful."

Siqi barely dodged the hidden weapon and cursed, "Disgusting! You actually used a hidden weapon!"

"Hmph, if you're not capable, you're not capable; but you talk a lot of nonsense." The woman in black finally spoke, and her voice was that of a woman.

Xiao Yi frowned. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Xiao Yi, go and tie her up and bring her back! How dare she laugh at me! Aning, I think you're a leopard that can't change its spots. You even dared to run wild in the Prince's mansion!"

Hearing Siqi call out her name, not only Xiao Yi but even A Ning herself was shocked. You see, ever since she used Zheng Yang's pills, not only has her appearance changed but even her voice has changed.

How did Siqi, that little girl, recognize me?

"How did you recognize me?"

"Pah! I'd recognize you even if you were ashes. You reek of filth. Are you some kind of reincarnated vixen? What makes you think you can offer yourself to the prince in the middle of the night?!"

Ah Ning's secret thoughts were pretty much out there.

She has now obtained a type of Gu worm in Zhengyang called the Mandarin Duck Gu, which consists of one Yin and one Yang. Once this Gu worm is placed on someone, that person will uncontrollably fall in love with another person who possesses the Mandarin Duck Gu. Moreover, it is said that the Mandarin Duck Gu is very loyal; if one dies, the other cannot survive.

She came today intending to secretly slip something into the prince's food, but she didn't expect to be discovered by that brat Siqi.

Ah Ning couldn't help but feel annoyed. She had finally managed to escape during the guards' shift change, but what were these two people doing chatting on the roof in the middle of the night? They were really ruining her plans.

"have a finger in the pie!"

"Ah Ning, it really is you." Xiao Yi finally believed it was Ah Ning.

Ah Ning knew she couldn't delay any longer; the guards in the manor would soon discover her, and then she would truly have no chance of escape. So she threw down two more hidden weapons and a smoke bomb before making her way away.

"Hmph, you let her get away! Xiao Yi, you're useless! How could you let her escape!"

"I did not wrong you."

"You still say you didn't? If you came to help, the two of us wouldn't be able to catch her!"

The two started arguing again in the courtyard. After a while, Baoqin came out of the courtyard wearing a robe and said to the two people on the roof, "Xiao Yi, the prince said that you should go to receive your punishment tomorrow, and the guards in the courtyard should go with you."

"Ah?" Xiao Yi felt terrible. His master still found out. It was all Si Qi's fault for having such a big mouth.

"Siqi, the Princess Consort said that you are not allowed to serve her for the next two days."

"No, Your Highness, I know I was wrong. You can't go out without me. Sister Baoqin, why don't you talk to Your Highness about it? Or let me copy a book, either the Art of War or the Precepts for Women, it's fine."

Baoqin suppressed a laugh and said, "Then you can decide for yourselves. If you keep making noise and disturbing the masters' sleep, you two will be in trouble."
