Just hearing Xia Shuting's voice sounded coldly in the room again, Shangguan Yu just felt like he was being dragged out of the room forcefully, followed by, and pushed to the ground.
She frowned and subconsciously covered her belly with her hands, frowning deeply.
Immediately afterwards, she was picked up by two servants from both sides, and another servant walked towards her with a wooden stick.
She tried to shake them off, but she couldn't find any strength.
Yu'er's sharp cry of pain kept echoing in her ears, so heart-piercing that Shangguan Yu didn't dare to listen.
Immediately afterwards, another heavy sap hit her back, causing a cold sweat to break out from her forehead in pain.
She gritted her teeth and remained silent, but Xia Shuting saw the flash of panic in her eyes.
But Xia Shuting didn't know that her panic was because she was worried about the fetus in her belly. Instead, she thought that Shangguan Yu was really scared, and she immediately became proud.
She slowly stood in front of Shangguan Yu and said, "Why, are you scared? Where has the arrogance gone? You have the ability to keep being so arrogant!"
The jealousy and anger towards Shangguan Yu in her heart burst out at this moment, and she stretched out her kick, intending to kick Shangguan Yu in the abdomen.
But before he even touched her, he heard an angry shout from the door of the hospital, "Stop everyone!!"
At the same time, Xia Shuting felt a sharp pain and numbness in the Achilles tendon of her calf. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.
A chill ran down Shangguan Yu's back as he thought of Xia Shuting's kick just now. If it hadn't been stopped, her child might...
Thinking of this, she shuddered with fear. At this time, there was another person beside her.
"Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
The person who appeared at this time was none other than Gu Zixu.
The entire courtyard, which was full of noise and fearful sounds, was temporarily silenced because of Gu Zixu's appearance.
Xia Shuting was also stunned for a moment because of Gu Zixu's sudden appearance, and fell to the ground and forgot.
Gu Zixu had already helped Shangguan Yu up from the ground. Seeing that her face was as pale as paper, his eyes were filled with distress.
"I'm fine."
Shangguan Yu leaned weakly in Gu Zixu's arms and shook his head. He was a little grateful that Gu Zixu appeared at the right time. At the same time, he felt a little more resentful towards the person who should have appeared but didn't.
She had no strength at all and could only stand next to Gu Zixu.
At this time, Gu Zixu's eyes were full of fierceness and looked towards Xia Shuting, who was lying on the ground in a daze.
Those sinister deep eyes were as sharp as an eagle, making everyone present shudder.
Seeing him squinting his eyes, his eyes revealed an unprecedented murderous intent. Such murderous intent was something that the servants who had been in the palace for many years had never seen before.
At this time, the prime minister, who was gentle and elegant in front of outsiders, had such a murderous face. It was obvious that Xia Shuting had done something that completely annoyed the prime minister.
Although Concubine Xia Shu had never had any dealings with Gu Zixu, she had heard of this young prime minister who was highly valued by the emperor and was worth more than ten thousand people.
A handsome young man, fresh and elegant, with an appearance that resembles that of an immortal. This is how outsiders describe Gu Zixu, the prime minister of the current dynasty.
But the face of Gu Zixu she saw in front of her was so terrifying that it made her tremble. Xia Shuting, who had always been domineering and arrogant, was also frightened.
