Zhong Yuxi's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear when she heard the words "Your Highness, Sixth Highness". The fear in her heart reached the extreme. She didn't want him to know, especially in such a public place, which would be worse than death.
But she knew that nothing could be avoided. All of this seemed to be arranged by someone, and she was just a pawn manipulated by fate, at the mercy of others.
As soon as Xiaofeng and Liu Jin stepped into the hall, they felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. When his eyes fell on Zhong Yuxi, who was holding his arm by Xuanyuan Ye next to the king, a murderous aura suddenly rose up from around him. The gray
His eyes suddenly narrowed on Xuanyuan Ye.
When Xuanyuan Ye saw him coming in, he let go of his hand. Zhong Yuxi's body softened, and he hurriedly let her lean half against him.
"What's wrong with all of you?" Liu Jin frowned in confusion. He was simple by nature and did not see the tense atmosphere here. On the contrary, the sight of the prince and Zhong Yuxi leaning together made him feel very uncomfortable.
Angry. His sharp eyes saw the congratulations to Ten Thousand Buddhas on the table. This was his favorite dish. Not only was it delicious, but the notes there were also very interesting. He walked over and picked up one, "
Let’s see what I can draw today and make sure my school festival goes smoothly.”
Although Mu Nan didn't know what was written there, looking at Zhong Yuxi's painful expression, he guessed that it must be something bad. Just when he wanted to stop Liu Jin, he had already opened the note.
"Diagnosis..." Liu Jin stopped reading just one word. He looked at Zhong Yuxi in surprise with a stern face. The pain in his eyes was so obvious that it almost overflowed.
"Zhong Yuxi, this is..." His voice was trembling: "What's going on?"
Xiaofeng, who had been standing behind him, frowned and quickly stepped forward to take the note from Liu Jin's hand. Before he could read any more, Zhong Yuxi suddenly shouted sadly: "Don't read it, please..."
Before she finished speaking, she felt a sweet sensation in her throat, and she spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, the figures in front of her were shaking, and she couldn't tell who was who. Her vision gradually blurred, and she finally fell into deep darkness.
When she woke up, she was surrounded by deathly silence, and her throat hurt as if smoke was coming out.
She rolled her somewhat frozen eyes and looked around. This was the confinement room of the palace, but the conditions were better than the place where she stayed last time. At least the windows were big, the bedding was new, and the air was fresh.
She smiled bitterly, is this special treatment?
Pushing herself up to sit up, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly came over her, and her stomach began to churn, but she resisted vomiting.
As soon as my head calmed down, I recalled what had happened before. What finally settled in my mind was Xiaofeng's eyes that were stained with a cruel color due to shock.
He finally saw it, she finally didn't hide it, and it was really over between them.
She curled her knees up to her chest and hugged him tightly, trying to get some warmth from the contact between bodies.
Who put those notes in?
The other party had such good intentions and chose such an excellent opportunity. Not only the princes knew about it, but also the king and the queen mother. She had made such a big mistake. I am afraid it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in this palace.
Her hand touched her flat belly, her vision gradually became hazy, and she felt a sense of sadness in her heart. She was such a useless mother. Not only could she not protect her child, but now she could not even protect herself.
How will they punish her...
There was a sound of opening the door, and she heard familiar footsteps. She almost ran over, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she caught his gaze.
He was standing not far from her, wearing black clothes. He preferred black, gray, and white, and did not like strong colors.
His face was half hidden in the shadows of the room, and the part exposed to the light looked extremely pale.
The calmness in those eyes is terrifying, but the more calm it is, the more it seems like there is a bottomless cave underneath, and if you step on it, you will be shattered to pieces.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time through the thin air. Zhong Yuxi's bare feet, her soft soles stepping on the cold marble floor, felt chilled to her heart.
Finally, she moved her steps with difficulty and walked towards him.
Normally, as long as she made this move, he would naturally open his arms, but this time, he just looked at her coldly, watching her get closer.
Like a helpless child, she stretched out a thin hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes, looking at him with such pleading eyes.
His heart was so painful that it was so painful that he even started to have difficulty breathing. She was right in front of him. Her hands were holding his. He could hold her in his arms with just a little effort, but his body was as stiff as iron.
, it seemed that he was not under his control at all. He didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. He was probably repelling her instinctively, repelling her approach.
Just like he hates those unclean things touching him, he even hates her.
With a flick of his hand, he knocked her hand away. Zhong Yuxi trembled and retracted her hand pitifully.
"Don't you want to say something?" he asked coldly.
His pleasant voice sounded as cold as hell at this moment, with undisguised boredom.
She lowered her head and stared at her toes.
"Forty-two days of pregnancy is really a long time." He said with sarcasm, gritted his teeth and nodded, "Tell me who is that man?"
The sudden murderous aura on his body startled Zhong Yuxi. She raised her head in panic and met his blood-red eyes, which shone with a cruel light like a beast, as if to tell her that no matter who the person was,
Whoever he is, he will definitely kill him.
She took two steps back in fear, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her collar, his voice almost hysterical: "Who is he?"
She shook her head and bit her lip tightly.
She couldn't say, she couldn't tell him that that person was his beloved and respected brother. He was the only relative he recognized in the world, the only remaining family affection he had. If she told him, his last hope would disappear.
, or the brothers will turn against each other, and he will become a lone wolf and fall into the darkness again.
Therefore, she couldn't say it. She would rather he misunderstood and hurt him than say it.
Her body was hanging in the air, and she was thrown onto the bed by him. Her body jolted heavily, and she felt as if her heart flew out of her chest. She hurriedly protected her belly, waiting for the dizziness to subside.
He put an arm on her side and looked at her from top to bottom. He was so disgusted that he didn't even want to touch her.
"Tell me who he is, or else." His eyes were filled with murderous intent: "I will let you die with this thing in your belly."
Her heart ached violently. He said such decisive words that he would kill her.
Just yesterday, they hugged each other intimately, and he told her in the gentlest tone in the world: I will only hug you in my life.
In a blink of an eye, he was going to kill her.
A coquettish smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered: "I'll tell you."
