"Who is it!" At the entrance of the Devil's Palace, a guard blocked Xiu Luan and Qiao Qiao who was behind her.
"How dare you!" You really dare to stop anyone! " Xiu Luan's face fell as he coldly snorted.
"So it is Lord Xiu Luan. This humble one has eyes but has no pupils. May I ask why Lord Xiu Luan has come out of the palace?" The guard took a good look at Xiu Luan before putting away the long blade in his hand. He then nodded his head and bowed to Xiu Luan.
"The Infernal Queen has an order. She is to go out of the palace to purchase medicinal herbs for the injured lady, Qingwu." Xiu Luan's face was cold as she pointed at Qiao once again.
The four guards looked at each other in dismay, and could not make up their minds immediately, "I wonder which courtyard's servant girl this girl is. How come I have never seen her before? Furthermore, she is wearing a veil, so just what is it … "
"This girl just entered the Pear Blossom Academy and had measles in three days. It was the demonic doctor's request to cover her face every day, so as to avoid scaring the Infernal Queen and Your Excellency." Seeing that the guards at the door still had doubts, she suddenly asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what else you all have to ask? If you delay the Infernal Queen's matter and in the future, the Infernal Queen will scold you. Don't say that I am unable to plead on your behalf."
"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Xiu Luan is too serious. The Infernal Queen's matter is naturally a great matter for the Infernal Palace. Let that girl leave. You must return quickly. I have been closely investigating this matter for the past few days." When the guard saw that Xiu Luan had the Infernal Queen, he naturally did not dare to slack off. He immediately gave way to the door and stood to the side. He then retracted the suspicious look in his eyes.
The Sleeve Luan slowly walked out. Qiao Qiao still had his head down and followed closely behind. The two of them only stopped a dozen meters away from the entrance of the palace.
"Miss needs to go and return quickly. This servant can hold on for a while for Miss." Xiu Luan's back was facing the palace guards as he spoke to Qiao Qiao anxiously.
"Alright, thank you, Xiu Luan." Qiao Qiao's brows remained knit together as he said to Xiu Luan in gratitude.
"Miss, you should hurry up and leave. After leaving the forest, you should head east to the capital. Before sunset, you must return. Xiu Luan is waiting for you at the palace gate." Xiu Luan softly said.
"Alright, I understand." Joe nodded and turned away.
Xiu Luan stared at Qiao Qiao's back for a long time. Finally, she restrained the worry in her eyes. With a cold expression, she turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Demon Palace.
"Lord Xiu Luan." After the guards paid their respects to the calm Xiu Luan, the palace entrance returned to its former tranquility.
After the Sleeve Luan entered the palace, it did not return to the Pear Blossom Academy. Instead, it slowly walked into the courtyard.
"It's you?" Within the Qingli Courtyard, Jingyu was glaring at the Luan in anger. Ever since she was attacked by the Luan Luan that day, she was exceptionally furious towards the people within the Pear Blossom Academy.
"I'm here to look for Mrs. Li." Xiu Luan stood at the entrance of the Qing Li Academy, looking straight ahead as she spoke with an indifferent tone.
"Looking for Madam?" Jing Yu coldly snorted, "You still have the face to look for Madam? What the hell are you? You actually dared to come to the Azure Glass Academy …"
"Jingyu, shut up." When Li Ruo Ying heard the ruckus at the entrance of the courtyard, she walked out of the house. Seeing that Xiu Luan was at the entrance, she couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckled in her heart.
"Madam, she …" Jingyu was furious for a moment, and spoke to Li Ruo Ying with unwillingness.
"Step down!" Li Ruo Ying lightly shouted, and then turned her head to look at Jing Yu and said aggressively, "Could it be that my wife's words are useless!"
"No, madam, Jingyu will leave now." With an unwilling face, Jingyu bowed, pouted, and left. As she passed in front of Xiu Luan, her dagger-like eyes were fiercely staring at Xiu Luan.
If it wasn't for the fact that the young lady ordered her to look for Li Ruo Ying before she left, she wouldn't want to see this hypocritical pair of master and servant for the rest of her life.
"I wonder, why is Xiu Luan here?" Since the last time she saw him, Li Ruo Ying knew that this Xiu Luan was a well-trained secret guard beside He Ming You. When she saw the Xiu Luan again, there was a trace of fawning in her tone.
"This servant only came here to pass a few words to my lady on behalf of my lady." The Sleeve Luan lowered its eyebrows and coldly harrumphed.
"Elder sister had something to say to me?" Li Ruo Ying pretended to be surprised as she asked.
"My lady said that she wanted Madam to cover for her today." Xiu Luan's tone was as calm as water.
"A cover?" Li Ruo Ying frowned.
"Yes, my lady was so free that she became flustered and left the Demon Palace for a day of sightseeing. However, she did not wish for your lordship to know, so I ask that you be restrained by her with the excuse of her abdominal pain." Xiu Luan said the words Qiao Qiao was still whispering in her ear.
"Elder sister left the Magic Palace?" Li Ruo Ying's crafty eyes kept rolling around. She knew in her heart that Qiao Qiao still didn't want your highness to know that she went out to do some kind of secret. If your highness were to find out that she had left her lover's palace, wouldn't she be …
As Li Ruo Ying thought this, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself. This woman was really naive. Did she really think that she would obediently serve her? Did he still think that she was the Emperor of Qiao who had flaunted his might in the past? When Xiu Luan left, she would definitely go to the Lord and add some extra details to make sure that this woman would never be able to bear the consequences. She wanted to see if the Lord had personally seen her meeting her lover, and would not treat her like how he once doted on her!
Naturally, Li Ruo Ying's thoughts couldn't escape the eyes of Xiu Luan. She couldn't help but coldly snort; what the young lady said was indeed true, if Li Ruo Ying were to know of this matter in private, she would definitely make a big fuss out of it.
"The young lady also said that if Madame does not wish to hide it for her, then after she returns from outside the palace today, it is unknown whether she will capture a drunkard from the brothel or the casino who will confront Madame on the spot." Xiu Luan's voice was slow and unhurried, but it caused Li Ruo Ying's entire body to tremble when she heard it.
Joe threatened her again!
He was threatening her with the child in her womb!
How did she forget? There was still such a handle on her body in her hands. It seems like … It was time for her to have Joe still in her womb with this unformed fetus, and then the secret would be a permanent secret, and she would be the only woman in the world!
Li Ruo Ying's brows chilled. A killing intent rose, but was quickly replaced by her charming smile.
"Look at what elder sister said. She treated me as an outsider, and since I was so bored in the Demon Palace, I naturally had to go out and walk around a lot. It's also sister's duty to stay in the Demon Palace and act as a cover for elder sister since I have a baby in my womb."
Xiu Luan's eyebrows drooped slightly as she coldly snorted. She then parted her lips and said in a light tone, "Since Madam has agreed, then this servant thanks Madam on behalf of the young lady."
"You're too polite." Although Li Ruo Ying replied in agreement, she didn't conceal the embarrassment on her face. The unwillingness in her eyes was slowly expressed.
Xiu Luan did not raise her head. After she was done with the words of the young lady, she turned around and left the Blue Li Courtyard.
Li Ruo Ying's eyes were fixed on Xiu Luan as she slowly walked away. The veins on her forehead were already exposed, and her palms were clenched tightly. She bit her lips tightly, and her face was filled with rage.
"Jingyu!" she shouted angrily.
"Your servant is here." Jingyu entered from outside and knelt down in respect towards Li Ruo Ying.
"Go find your highness. Tell him that after I woke up in the morning, my abdominal pain had become unbearable. I have been lying on my bed the entire time without being able to get out of it." Li Ruo Ying gritted her teeth as she spoke. Her words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, as though she was unwilling to accept it.
"Yes." Jingyu did not dare to ask any further, and just followed the lady's instructions, and headed towards her master's quarters.
Li Ruo Ying's face paled and her tightly clenched fists gradually loosened. She tossed her sleeves and turned around, returning to her room to lie on the bed.
"Madam, madam, your father has come up." Not long after, he heard the anxious shouts of Jing Yu at the door.
Li Ruo Ying grabbed a cup of water from the side, wiped the water droplets from her hands onto her hair and wet the quilts on her body. She lay on the bed in a sorry state, curled up into a ball.
"Ruo Ying, how are you?" As soon as He You You You entered, he saw Li Ruo Ying on the bed. Her face was deathly pale as she covered her stomach with her hands. Her face showed that she was in extreme pain.
"Greetings... "Sir, you, you're here …" With great difficulty, Li Ruo Ying weakly shouted.
"Why are you sweating so much?" He You You then put his hand on her forehead, only to see her forehead dripping with cold sweat, and then turning his hand on the quilt, her face full of nervousness. "This quilt is completely soaked, what do you all think, Madam!" He turned around and coldly shouted at Jing Yu.
"This servant knows her wrongs. Madam has been talking about pain in my lower abdomen since early morning. This servant wanted to invite a magic doctor, but Madame refused. This servant had no choice but to call Sir here." Jingyu knelt on the ground and spoke honestly.
"Sir, I don't blame Jingyu. I will be fine …" But … "It's just that I miss you too much …" Li Ruo Ying rested her arm helplessly on He You You's body. With a sorrowful expression, she said, "I thought that if I was sick, Your Excellency would definitely come and take a look. I didn't expect that today, my wish has really come true."
"Why are you saying such foolish things?" He Mingyou stroked Li Ruo Ying's arm, turned his head, and shouted at Jing Yu, "Quickly go find the evil doctor and come here."
"No …" Li Ruo Ying stopped her. "I know my body, there's no harm, there's no need to trouble the demonic doctor …"
"You have a child in your womb, how can you call yourself a pain in the ass? Quickly go and invite them in." He You said with a cold face.
"No need for your highness. As long as your highness is by my side, I won't feel that much pain." Li Ruo Ying smiled with difficulty.
"Sir, are you still going to the Pear Blossom Academy?" His Majesty had just returned from outside the Demon Palace and wanted to visit the Pear Blossom House, but was stopped halfway by Jingyu, who said that Madame Li's stomach was in unbearable pain, and thus had no choice but to enter the Blue Li Courtyard.
"Sir..." Li Ruo Ying looked at He Ming You You with a pained expression. Her wronged expression and pitiful appearance made it hard for them to reject her.
"I won't be going to the Pear Blossom Academy today." He You You glanced at Li Ruo Ying, who was on the bed extremely weak.
"Yes." After saying that, he turned and left.
"Thank you, Sir …" Li Ruo Ying smiled coquettishly as she gently raised her head to lie in He Ming You You You's embrace with a smile at the corner of her lips.
