his sword and shouted to the people on the city wall, "Those above, everyone in the palace, listen! As long as you are willing to surrender, our kind and benevolent young master will never massacre i...Since the nightmare, An Xuetang's mind kept replaying the image of Mo Junyi being stabbed.

Even when I rest, I don't feel rested. I can't even eat a meal properly because my mind is elsewhere.

Since that day when something unexpected happened, she had been lying in bed for two days. Those two days were a blur, and everyone thought she would gradually recover with some rest.

But five days passed, and she was still dazed, her mind wandering every day.

Ning'er knew she couldn't let the princesses continue down this path, so she thought about helping them shift their focus.

Apart from going to Ye Mansion to find Xiao Qin, the county princess, she couldn't think of any other way to help their princess distract herself.

Ning'er is a person who is good at taking action. Since she had the idea of finding the county princess, early this morning, before their madam woke up, she went to Ye Mansion.

I briefly explained my request to County Princess Xiaoqin.

I hope Xiaqin can go to the palace today and talk to their Duchess. Chat with her, distract her attention so that she doesn't keep thinking about the Prince all the time.

When Xiao Qin learned that An Xue Tang was actually sick and had to lie in bed for days, she wished she could immediately go with Ning'er to the Beijang Prince's Mansion.

Fortunately, Ye Er was there at the time and stopped Xiao Qin's impulsive actions.

Xiaoqin didn't understand why she wasn't allowed to go with Ning'er, and Ning'er didn't seem to want to take her to the palace either.

After Ning'er left, she pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before asking Ye Er, "Why didn't you let me follow Ning'er It's not late to go to the Prince's Mansion. I wouldn't have to wait long. The Princess is already up, and I don't mind waiting. Even if the Princess sleeps in today, I can wait a little longer."

Ye Er smiled, "It's just dawn, and Miss Ning came to ask for someone, she avoided the Princess. That means she doesn't want the Princess to know about this."

"If she goes back with Miss Ning now, wouldn't that be like openly telling the Princess Consort that it was Miss Ning who invited you there"

“......”

It seems like that's the reasoning.

But what if Ning'er invited her over anyway

She doesn't seem to mind.

Ye Er saw her conflicted expression and a pampered smile appeared on his face. He instinctively reached out to pinch her cheek, "My lady, don't worry about it. It's still early, why not go back to sleep for a while."

“......”

Only then did Xiaoqin realize what Ye Er had done to her, and her face gradually reddened.

After they received the marriage certificate, he called her "Madam" all the time. Even everyone in the mansion addressed her as "Madam" instead of "County Princess".

Every single person called out to the mistress directly.

Even her maidservant, Qingya, wanted to join in the fun. Since the two of them entered the Ye Mansion, she no longer called her "Miss".

She is now accustomed to the way those in the manor address her, but she still can't face Lord Ye's address with indifference.

Every time she heard him call out "my wife," she felt that the two words held a special kind of affection, and she would inexplicably blush.

But looking into Shang Ye's clear eyes, she instantly felt like she was overthinking things. How could someone with such pure eyes as his possibly have the thoughts she imagined

She must be crazy.

Lost in thought, Xiaoqin couldn't bother with polite greetings and turned to run.

Ye Er watched her flustered back as she fled, unable to help but chuckle softly.

Xiao Qin ran back to the next room in one breath. She and Ye Er now lived in the same courtyard, and where she had just seen Ning'er was the guest house in this courtyard.

After she went through the door, she quickly shut it and leaned back against it, covering her chest with her hand and taking deep breaths.

She made quite a noise coming in. Qingya, who was sleeping in the back room, woke up at once when she heard it.

Because usually at this time of day, Miss would not be up yet, hearing the noise now she thought something must have happened, so she rushed out in a hurry, not even bothering to put on her shoes.

As she lifted the curtain and stepped out of her small side room, she immediately saw Xiaoqin leaning against the door. Her face changed color, and she quickly rushed to Xiaoqin's side, exclaiming, "Madam, what...what happened"

Looking closer, Qing Ya saw that Xiao Qin's face was very red. She didn't think about anything else in her mind and simply thought something had happened to scare their mistress.

"After finishing her questions, before Xiaoqin could answer, she exclaimed again, "Madam, why is your face so red Did you catch a cold"

"..."

The sound of her voice was very loud, she must have been heard all through the courtyard with that shout.

Xiao Qin was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, "You...what nonsense are you talking about How could this princess be blushing Stop making things up."

The gagged young sprout could only make whimpering sounds at this point.

She wanted to say that she wasn't making things up!

Their wives' faces were truly red. She definitely wasn't mistaken.

But seeing the slight flush of 'annoyance' on their wives' faces, she gave a thoughtful glance at the door behind them and raised an eyebrow.

Observing the way the mistress and her husband interacted over the past few days, she seemed to have grasped something.

Just as Xiaoqin guessed, Qingya's voice was indeed able to reach Ye Er next door.

Ye Er was just about to return to her room when she heard Qing Ya's voice.

When she said it, his smile widened even more, and a blush crept up Xiaoqin's cheeks.

Both Daliang and Xiaoliang, who were standing at the door, saw their master's smile. They looked at each other, their expressions obviously improving.

......

After the sun came up, Xiaoqin tidied herself up slightly and took Qingya to the Northern Border Prince's Mansion.

Ye Er sent Xiao Liang to go with them and protect them.

Xiao Qin knew Ye Er was in danger. She had initially thought she didn't need to call people to protect him, but she couldn't resist Ye Er's insistence.

In the end, it was Xiaoliang who personally drove the carriage, taking Xiaoqin and Qingya to the Beijang Wangfu.

On the road, the outspoken Xiao Liang couldn't help but ask, "Madam, when are you planning to give our family a baby"

"!"

Xiao Qin's eyes widened in an instant, almost choking on her own saliva.

Xiaoliang's sudden mention of the topic was a bit too abrupt and startling.

She didn't even consider this issue.

Qing Ya couldn't help but chuckle softly. She glanced at her own young mistress, who clearly looked startled, and then cleared her throat:

"Xiao Liang, what are you saying You adults haven't even finished the formalities, nor have you brought our County Princess in with a grand procession. Don't think that just because everyone is addressing our County Princess differently now, your family can act recklessly."

Xiao Liang blinked. "So Qing Ya, what you're saying is that once the formalities are complete, the county princess will be willing to have children with our eldest"

"......"

Xiao Qin pursed her lips, this... she had never thought of it.

Qing Ya didn't see Xiao Qin's expression, and at this moment subconsciously blurted out:

"Our county princess is willing, but... given your family head's current condition, do you think it would be possible"more about who had stolen his mother's body from the imperial mausoleum.One who can steal a body from the imperial tomb silently and without detection is truly formidable.After raising these questions...
