Mo Yunze finished his report, a eunuch rushed in, announcing that the commander of the Imperial Guard was back. However… he was covered in wounds and seemed like he couldn't hold on much longer.The e...Kanger furrowed his brows, "But, Your Highness…"

"Don't worry."

An Xue Tang shook her head slightly, thankfully this pain in her abdomen didn't last long. She could already feel the two forces within her gradually subsiding.

Shou'er diagnosed An Xuetang's pulse as unstable, but strangely enough, this complex pulse slowly began to return to normal.

She looked at An Xue Tang in surprise, "Your Highness, how are you feeling"

An Xue Tang knew what she wanted to ask and nodded at her at this moment, "It's already fine."

Since she became pregnant, this sudden abdominal pain of hers has happened more than once. But this time it was much worse, and she couldn't pretend it wasn't there anymore.

But she would never let them see anything if she could help it.

An Xuetang was still chilled with pain, despite the sweat on her back. She listened to the sounds from next door and knew Mo Yunjing had almost finished changing his clothes. She quickly pulled at Shou'er:

"Get up quickly, Shour and Kang'er, quickly wipe the sweat off me. Don't let our prince see."

Shouer and Kang'er looked at each other, then obediently took out clean handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat from An Xue Tang's forehead and neck.

An Xuetang knew the two of them were worried, so while they were busy, she earnestly instructed:

"Don't tell the prince about this, otherwise, given his concern for my well-being, he certainly wouldn't let me continue carrying these two children. You are my people, so you should know what to do. Otherwise, I will send you all back to the valley."

"...."

This is blatant, outright threats. However, these two children are too important to her, she can't afford to worry about whether it will hurt Shou'er and Kang'er's feelings.

She only knew she had to protect the two children in her womb!

Shou'er and Kang'er looked at each other, both having heard the seriousness and sincerity in An Xue Tang's tone. Neither dared to refute, they could only nod in agreement.

An Xuetang saw that the two people nodded, and she also breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Mo Yunjing open the door to the next room, she waved her hand, "Alright, put away the handkerchief. Ask if you have any questions later."

Shouer and Kang'er hummed in agreement, tucking the handkerchiefs into their sleeves.

Just then, Mo Yunjing pushed the door open. The moment he stepped in, he sensed something was amiss. He frowned subconsciously and glanced at Shou'er and Kang'er standing behind An Xuetang, lost in thought.

But the two men calmly bowed to him, their expressions betraying nothing.

An Xuetang smiled, "How did you get here so quickly Ning'er hasn't brought the food back yet."

"Changing clothes How difficult could that be Sugar, is there something you're hiding from me"

"Huh"

An Xuetang blinked her innocent-looking big eyes, "What could I possibly be hiding from you"

He was definitely not speaking to An Xuetang. His words were veiled threats aimed at Shou'er and Kang'er.

And his peripheral vision was indeed focused on Shou'er and Kang'er, trying to discern any flaws on their faces.

An Xuetang tightened her hand under the table. In order not to let Mo Yunjing see anything, she could only sigh deeply at this moment and said:

"It's no use pretending anymore. There are things I can't hide from you. Earlier, when we talked about Fu'er, she disappeared as if into thin air. I'm worried... what if something happened to her"

When An Xuetang wants to act well, she really can. If it weren't for Shou'er and Kang'er knowing the truth, they would probably have been deceived by her words.

As expected, what she said sounded plausible. Mo Yunjing actually believed her at this point. He sat down, his brows furrowed, "My people are looking for him too."

He didn't care about Fu'er's life or death, he only worried that she knew what explosives were and how to make them. His only concern was that she wouldn't tell anyone about it.

If explosives were exposed, it would be a very thorny problem for them.

At this point, An Xuetang also proactively brought up the issue of explosives, completely dispelling Mo Yunjing's doubts. At this time, he truly believed that An Xuetang was just worried about Fu'er's safety and whether she would leak information about the explosives.

He reached out and took An Xue Tang's hand, "Her whereabouts have always been under surveillance. Don't worry about it."

Just then, Ning'er also brought the food over. He patted An Xuetang's hand and said, "Aren't you hungry Eat something first."

Seeing that he truly believed it, An Xuetang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, even if she didn't want to eat, she pretended to eat.

After the meal, Yun Si went to find Mo Yun Jing with something important to report.

Mò Yúnjǐng went to the study with Yún Sì and Yún Liù and others so as not to disturb An Xuětáng.

Once it was confirmed that Mo Yunjing had left Jingtang Garden, Shou'er and Kang'er both let out a deep sigh of relief. The two felt their legs go weak.

Seeing the two like this, Ning'er, who had always been sensitive, frowned. "What happened"

Shou'er glanced at An Xuetang, seeing that she didn't intend to hide anything from Ning'er. She then spoke, "Ning'er, your medical skills are better than mine. Please take the Princess's pulse. Her pulse was unstable just now and accompanied by severe abdominal pain."

Ning'er, upon hearing this, her face turned pale instantly. She immediately knelt down beside An Xue Tang, "My Lady, Ning'er has offended you."

Having said that, she had already taken An Xuetang's wrist and felt her pulse.

But she found nothing. At this point, An Xue Tang's pulse was steady, just like an ordinary person.

Seeing her furrowed brows, An Xuetang sighed, "It's alright. My babies are different from ordinary children. They have gu poison in their bodies, so some reactions occasionally are normal. Don't make a fuss about it. This matter must be kept secret from your king, otherwise, with his temper, he would absolutely forbid me from keeping these two children."

In this regard, Ning'er and the others were indeed clear.

To the King of Beijiang, nothing was more important than his queen's well-being.

"My Queen, could you please describe in detail the kind of pain you experienced earlier I'll go and research some information."

If they don't figure out if this pain could threaten the princess's life, they can't rest easy.

An Xuetang didn't refuse, she described the abdominal pain to Ninger at this moment. She spoke seriously but forgot to use her special 'skill' to guard against outside sounds.

So, the few people in the room didn't notice Mo Yunjing standing outside at all.

And Mo Yunjing listened to An Xue Tang's words without missing a word, his face becoming increasingly grimmer with each word.

Although An Xuetang was quick to change the subject, he clearly saw her hand under the table move when she spoke about Fu'er.

She perhaps doesn't know that every time she wants to deceive him, her little finger unconsciously turns white from being squeezed.

So although he followed along with her words, he didn't believe a single thing she said. Moreover, being so close to her and familiar with the scent of her sweat, how could he not know that she had been sweating profuselyheart ached with an inexplicable pain.My chest ached so intensely, it felt like it was burning. It was as if my whole body was screaming in agony.Being by the Princess's side these days, watching the...
