When Feng Ruqing rushed back to her garden, she found that her garden was indeed missing quite a few spirit herbs. Her face darkened, and she flew into the palace, picking up the little prince and beating him severely.
The entire palace was filled with the sounds of the little prince crying and wailing, but the emperor turned a blind eye as if he did not see anything.
After Feng Ruqing beat the little prince up, she went back to General Manor, and from afar, she saw a man in white robes, like a fairy, walking toward General Manor. She quickly went up to the man happily.
“State Preceptor!”
The man was about to step into the manor when he suddenly heard a voice from behind him. He slowly turned his head to catch the woman pouncing on him.
He moved carefully, fearing that he would hurt the child in her womb.
“You’ve just returned to Wu Shang City?”
“Yes… ” The man smiled faintly. “I went after her, but she ran off into the Nan family’s territory. I lost track of her, so I came back.”
“Nan Xian…” Feng Ruqing was silent for a moment. “Did you find anything different along the way?”
“What?” Nan Xian frowned.
“Like… Something on Qing Zhu?”
“Qing Zhu?” Nan Xian loosened his brow. “Did someone rip off its skin? But I did not see its skin along the way.”
Qing Zhu had just crawled out of the door, but after hearing this, it shrank its neck back in fear and left without looking back.
Its figure disappeared in a flash as if there was a ghost chasing it.
“No…”
Feng Ruqing smiled. “Nan Xian, let’s go back and rest first. Oh, we have to bring Ah Hua and the others to General Manor.”
“Alright…”
Nan Xian’s gentle gaze fell upon Feng Ruqing as if she was his whole world.
***
Three months passed by in a flash.
Everyone in General Manor was extremely nervous, especially Tian Ya, who had ordered a servant to follow Feng Ruqing all day long. She was not allowed to go out freely or use her spiritual qi again for fear of hurting the child in her belly.
However, since that night, the child was calm and never troubled her again. She did not feel any discomfort when she was close to the delivery.
Helian Yue happily held a bowl of soup that she brewed. When she walked out of Helian Manor, she bumped into a young girl and almost fell.
Helian Yue’s face was cold. This was a soup she had made for Xiao Qing, and even Feng Lianqing had not tasted it.
Of course, Helian Yue had once made a pot of soup for Feng Lianqing, but he had never tasted it before.
“Hey, you…”
Helian Yue raised her eyes in anger and saw a young girl with a delicate and lovely face.
The young girl was very short, even shorter than her.
She was quite beautiful, and Helian Yue felt that she was somewhat familiar.
It seemed as if she had seen her somewhere before…
“Young Lady…” Xiao Xiao quietly pulled Helian Yue’s sleeve. “Young Lady, this girl looks slightly similar to Feng Lianyi.”
However, Feng Lianyi seemed somewhat heroic due to her years of warfare, while this girl… She looked like a young lady from a noble family.
Helian Yue’s face became gloomy as she heard Feng Lianyi’s name. She glared at the young girl, fiercely. “Are you blind? Can’t you see me?”
