Nangong Shuo had been holding back for the past few days without seeing Shangguan Yu. When he saw her this time, his heart was already surging. He couldn't bear the verbosity of a little palace maid beside him.
"Yes, yes, I will leave this slave."
Seeing that Nangong Shuo was angry, Yu'er knew how to understand the current affairs no matter how innocent she was. She glanced at Shangguan Yu worriedly and immediately turned around and ran away.
"Xiao Yu..."
After Yu'er left, Nangong Shuo immediately looked at Shangguan Yu who said nothing.
When his eyes touched her slightly bulging belly, her expression contained some deliberately suppressed excitement.
"If the emperor is unhappy because of the rumors circulating in the palace these days, just ask me directly. Don't take it out on Yu'er."
Shangguan Yu's tone was so plain that there was no rhythm at all. She looked at Nangong Shuo, who had a strange expression in front of her, and said this.
Her words made Nangong Shuo frown. He looked down at Shangguan Yu's seemingly calm face and said, "Okay, then tell me, are the rumors in the palace true?"
He asked this and successfully attracted Shangguan Yu's attention.
Seeing Shangguan Yu raise his eyes to look at her, his dark black pupils showed various complicated expressions.
She looked at Nangong Shuo, her eyes moving, and she realized that at this moment, she was so nervous and conflicted inside.
After a while, she pursed her lips, took a deep breath, looked at Nangong Shuo, and said, "I said those rumors are false, will you believe me?"
When she asked this question, her eyes were full of nervousness and anticipation.
Just as she had thought before, she didn't need others to believe her or defend her. She just hoped that the person in front of her could believe her without reservation.
She looked at Nangong Shuo, who was staring at her without saying a word, and the look in his always unfathomable deep eyes, and her heart felt nervous.
Even the slightly cold palms under the cuffs were breaking out in a trace of cold sweat.
His fists clenched inadvertently.
She didn't know what kind of answer Nangong Shuo would give her.
The next second, she saw Nangong Shuo stretch out his broad palm and gently cover her lower abdomen without opening a word.
On his face, she saw the tenderness that Nangong Shuo couldn't help but exude when his eyes touched her slightly bulging belly.
She looked at Nangong Shuo in confusion, and at the smile that gradually bloomed in his eyes and on his face, she was a little confused, but also secretly happy.
"Xiao Yu..."
Finally, Nangong Shuo spoke at this time. He looked up at Shangguan Yu and his hand had already left her belly.
A bright and dazzling smile appeared on his face, and his eyes looked particularly clear and moving at this time.
He stretched out his long arms and took Shangguan Yu's delicate shoulders into his arms, tightly feeling the satisfaction that the person in his arms brought to him that could not be replaced by others.
"If I believe these rumors, do you think you can still stand in front of me like this unharmed?"
The low and soft voice sounded above Shangguan Yu's head, which made people's hearts palpitate and moved their faces.
After Shangguan Yu heard this, she understood the meaning of these words instantly.
The man in front of her did not disappoint her after all. He still gave her what she expected.
Her eyes could not help but feel sore emotionally, and she buried her face on Nangong Shuo's broad chest, and the hot tears of grievance hidden in her eyes welled up in her eyes.
