Plot 3

  The maid reluctantly looked at him, biting her lip and said: "Master, it was the old lady who asked me to serve you!"

  "Get out!"

  The maid bit her lip, and her eyes were filled with tears.

  Huāzi swung her hand, the long sword swept across, and the maid's hair fell to the ground in a neat segment, as if a piece had been cut off from the top of her head, looking extremely ugly. The maid let out a cry, came back to her senses, saw the hair on the ground, and burst into tears. With more than half of her hair gone, could she still show herself to others?

  "Your Excellency—"

  Hmph!

  Hua Zi's sword accurately and unerringly swept across her face, cutting off one ear, the smell of blood spreading out, the maid let out a miserable cry.

  Hua Zi glanced at him lazily and said coldly: "Since you don't know how to listen to orders, what's the use of keeping your ears?"

  The little servant looked at the maid with a pitiful gaze, but didn't dare to go over and help her up. He just shook his head secretly, then followed Hua Zi Xuan as he quickly walked away.

  This maid, who has been the old lady's personal servant for a long time, has been clinging to the young master ever since she found them, and from time to time makes some seductive gestures, which has already made the young master disgusted. However, what happened to the young master today? He suddenly got angry and didn't show any mercy at all, it's like he had eaten explosives!

  Was it because of that princess? The young servant scratched his head in confusion.

  When she returned to the princess's mansion in the morning and evening, it was still very quiet. Shuiyan saw her being scared by the killing aura on her body, "Princess?"

  "Don't play the piano today, go take a rest!"

  Shuiyan left quietly, Beitang Junlian was injured. Although she had a mind to visit, she didn't dare to go, fearing that Chi Yang Princess would drive her away in a fit of anger.

  She gently smiled and stroked her belly, as long as Princess Chuyang didn't get angry, she was willing to stay in the princess's mansion waiting for the child to grow up.

  With this face of hers, a person with a child must have had a tough life.

  "Water pipe."

  Beidong Junlian's face was complex as he sized her up, Shuixiang very politely bowed and said, "Shuixiang has seen Third Young Master, Third Young Master is well."

  "Why?"

  Shui Yan smiled slightly, "If the third young master is asking why I want to stay, then the answer is simple. The commoner thinks that the princess can protect my mother and me completely. Leaving the princess's mansion, Shui Yan acknowledges that she cannot withstand the harassment of many people."

  Beidong Junlian was taken aback, and he naturally understood the meaning of Shuiyan's words. However, who knew whether Chi Yang Princess would suddenly develop a murderous intention? "If you're willing, why not let the Beidong family..."

  Shui Yan did not want to, if he had to rely on others, Shui Yan would rather choose the current Gong Zhu Fu.

  "But..."

  Shui Yan looked at him seriously, "I bet that Princess Chi Yang will not return to her former self. Heaven must have eyes. If heaven has no eyes, I'll just accept my fate."

  He left with a gentle smile, elegant beyond compare.

  She didn't have a shred of romantic feelings for him anymore. Was this really her choice? To gain the princess's protection, she would give up on their past together?

  A large hand patted his shoulder, and Beitang Junlian turned around to see Xue Jingze's smiling face. "You're back?"

  Zhuge Jingze took a look at the disappearing water vapor and couldn't help but sigh: "Third brother, take a look, there are many people who know how to seize the opportunity!"

  "Hmm, you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

  "No, it's just that trouble has arrived."

  Is it also troublesome for him? Beitang Junlian looked at him curiously: "What's the matter? Even the young master of the princess's mansion is getting a headache?"

  Zhuge Jingze let out a soft sigh, "Of course it's the princess's matter, Huangfu Jinghao has returned with the message."

  "How long has it been since you left, and yet you're already sending a message?"

  "This time he has made up his mind. If the princess does not become pregnant within three months, then our clansmen will suffer one by one."

  Beidong Junlian's eyes widened, "What did you say?"

  "To tell you the truth, three months later, for every month of delay, two people from each of the six princes' families will be sent to the army for training, and they must be direct descendants."

  Beidong Junlian was furious upon hearing this, wasn't this a clear threat to them?

  "Perhaps the most difficult ones to deal with won't be us six after all!"

  "What does it mean?"

  "The princess has changed, haven't you all noticed that since the day she crashed into a tree because of you, she hasn't summoned anyone to serve her in bed again?"

  Oh no!

  Beidong Junlian shuddered, "This can't be that woman deliberately joining forces with Huangfu Jinghao to take revenge on me, right?"

  Ji Jingyu shot him a white look, "Don't you think the princess has already lost interest in you?"

  Zhuge Jingze sighed, this matter would indeed be difficult to handle if the princess didn't nod her head!

  When I went out in the morning and came back in the evening, I heard such astonishing news. I was so angry that my teeth itched. Huangfu Jinghao actually threatened her husband's attendants like this. These men would definitely listen to Huangfu Jinghao for the sake of their loved ones, wanting her to roll around with them? Hmph, what a beautiful dream!

  What's wrong?

  What's wrong?

  Morning and evening, secretly thinking hard, this matter if escaped, it's not easy to handle, implicating innocent people is indeed not good. Does Huangfu Jinghao need the princess's offspring to inherit 100,000 elite soldiers?

  "Hmph, and doesn't it occur to her that she's in the prime of her life now? Does she really need one? And isn't his eagerness to find a successor just proof that he wants a puppet?"

  He actually wanted her, but she completely cut off his thoughts!

  The next day, after lunch, Princess Chiyang suddenly had unbearable stomach pain. The sixth prince and the imperial physician sent by the Emperor of Xia Kingdom were both at a loss, and they all concluded that Princess Chiyang had mistakenly taken cold medicine and contracted palace cold syndrome, which would take several years to cure.

  When this news came out, the Emperor of Xia Guo was overjoyed, and the Princess's mansion was filled with a mix of gloominess and excitement.

  When Huangfu Jinghao received the news, he was so angry that his face turned pale. This was the first time he had lost his temper since Princess Chiyang had been taken as a hostage.

  Three days later, Huangfu Jinghao hastily returned to the Princess's mansion. At this time, he had already regained his composure, but everyone in the Princess's mansion knew that he was angry.

  At dawn and dusk, he found that the Princess Chiyang, who had never liked to dance or write, was actually listening to the qin, and seemed very absorbed in it!

  Lin Junchen nodded slightly and bowed, but continued to flip through the book in his hand. The princess's body wasn't something they had caused, and there hadn't been any signs of trouble with her food and drink that day. It was as if disaster had struck from the heavens.

  "Princess!"

  Morning and evening still sleeping

  Huang Pu Jing Hao raised his voice a little: "Your Highness——"

  "Don't quarrel." Chen Xi said softly.

  Huang Pu Jing Hao gazed at her with a gloomy face, his scorching hot gaze making Chen Xi somewhat unbearable. She finally opened her eyes to meet his profound eyes and lazily asked: "How did you come back?"

  "The princess naturally didn't welcome me back, but I had an unavoidable reason for coming."

  "Oh, let's talk about it." Chen Xi sat up straight, half ignoring his anger.

  What's there for this man to be angry about? Does he want her to casually find a man and have children? Ha ha, is she a tool or something?

  Huang Pu Jing Hao didn't let a single expression slip, and naturally saw her sarcasm. She actually dared to mock him? This realization made him even more displeased, and he coldly said: "The princess seems to be getting more and more willful. Who diagnosed the infertility? That kind of mediocre doctor should be eliminated, lest they harm the world!"

  "Hey, are you being unreasonable? If you don't believe it, go find someone else to diagnose yourself!"

  Huang Pu Jing Hao stared at her fiercely: "Princess, rest assured, I will invite all the famous doctors in the world to cure the princess! No matter what, I cannot let anything happen to the princess!"

  How hateful!

  She found him very annoying with his self-righteous expression.

  Morning and evening, cold hum a sound, shaking off sleeves to leave, leaving a group of people stunned in the small pavilion. Huangfu Jinghao scanned around, his eyes falling on Shuixiao: "You're the woman that Third Master has been fooling around with outside?"

  Shui Yan was intimidated by his cold gaze, her back straightened up, she lowered her head and dared not look him in the eye, weakly saying: "I, a commoner's daughter, had a past with Third Young Master... but now I am a maid under Princess's care, and have no relation with Third Young Master anymore!"

  "But the child in your belly is his!"

  Huang Pu Jing Hao's words were like a tight noose, entwining the water vapor, giving her a choking sensation. She trembled with fear, unsure of how to respond.
