Bian Xiao thought he had seen it wrong. He walked quietly to the bed and looked at the woman's face carefully under the dim light——
Why is He Yanyan here?
It seemed that the figure disturbed He Yanyan in her sleep. She raised her eyelids and said, "Who are you!"
Sitting up suddenly from the bed, she protected her lower abdomen and took out a pair of old scissors from under the pillow.
Bian Xiao was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to signal He Yanyan to relax. He was wearing a mask and his voice was not very clear. Since there were bad guys and secret guards outside, it was difficult for him to speak, so he could only comfort:
"Girl, don't panic, I'm just here to ask for some saliva."
Obviously He Yanyan didn't believe his lies——
In whose house did the people asking for water come in wearing night clothes?
After visually checking the difference in stature between the man and herself, He Yanyan decided to take a delaying tactic. She coaxed him out first and said, "If you want to drink water... there is a well in the yard, you can just dig it yourself."
Bian Xiao nodded, but consciously sat down on the broken chair in front of the table: "The girl looks like a young lady from a rich family, how come she lives in a place like this?"
He Yanyan's situation made Bian Xiao feel cold——
Even my own princess is like this, let alone the wet nurse and the others.
He Yanyan lowered her eyebrows, couldn't help but sigh, and said nothing.
Looking at the decoration in the house, Bian Xiao's attention was attracted by the cold medicinal soup on the table: "Is the girl sick?"
He Yanyan frowned and didn't expect this man to talk so much: "Master, if you want to ask for water, then leave as soon as possible after drinking. In the dead of night, a man and a woman are alone in the same room. I'm afraid they will be ruined."
Clear reputation."
Seeing the look of disgust on his wife's face, Bian Xiao nodded with interest. When he picked up the tea bowl on the table and was about to enter, there was a sound of banging on the door.
"not good!"
The two spoke in unison, but Bian Xiao thought the visitor was a bad person who wanted to assassinate him, and He Yanyan thought it was the wet nurse who sent someone to make things difficult for her.
"Sir, please leave through the back window." Ever since the news of the prince's death came, she knew best how the people in the palace looked at her. If the nanny really came and saw the strange man in this room,
, and maybe even slander your own innocence.
"How about that?" Bian Xiao said as he drew the soft sword from his waist, "What if a bad guy falls in love with a girl?"
"Don't……"
He Yanyan was about to step forward to stop him, but Bian Xiao had already walked out of the house and opened the door between the main courtyard and the other courtyard.
wet nurse?
When he saw this woman who had nurtured him, Bian Xiao was in a trance and almost blurted out. At this time, the wet nurse who brought everyone in the yard to check the fetus in He Yanyan's belly saw this woman wearing night clothes.
The strange man suddenly came up with a plan:
"He Yanyan! The prince has just left for a day, and you are so uncontrollable that you found a wild man to have fun! I guess the son in your womb is also a scoundrel!"
She secretly screamed, but He Yanyan immediately rushed forward, pulled Bian Xiao aside, and confronted the nurse righteously: "What does this mean, nurse? I am more than three months pregnant. This child must be the prince's."
, how can you taint someone’s innocence!”
"A dirty person is innocent?" The wet nurse sneered, "Not to mention that the princess's dowry is an elusive personal bodyguard. Men and women are not close to each other. How are you going to explain this person today?"
"Today..." After He Yanyan realized that Zhi Xin had been bribed by the wet nurse, He Yanyan immediately sent her personal bodyguard to send a letter to the Qianglan Kingdom. Now she was isolated and helpless.
He Yanyan looked at the strange man beside her. She knew something like this would happen, but he didn't say a word——
Because of this, Bian Xiao was completely immersed in the good news that "the princess is pregnant", and pink bubbles appeared all over her body.
Frowning, He Yanyan grabbed the man's collar angrily: "If you don't explain clearly today, you won't be able to walk out of the palace alive! Who are you?"
But Bian Xiao completely answered the question: "Are you really pregnant?"
"What does it have to do with you!" He Yanyan was so angry that she reached out to pull off the man's veil.
Bian Xiao was afraid that he would be discovered, so he grabbed He Yanyan's wrist. In desperation, He Yanyan bit him hard on the wrist.
Bian Xiao let go in pain, took a step back and jumped up to the wall. Seeing the grievance in his wife's eyes, he turned and left——
I must recover from my injuries as soon as possible, otherwise...
I'm pregnant. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if someone who wanted to kill me found out?
But Bian Xiao just left, and He Yanyan who stayed behind instantly became the target of public criticism.
The wet nurse suddenly pushed the torch in her hand forward. When He Yanyan stepped back, she tripped over the firewood under her feet and sat on the cold snow. She turned sideways to protect her child: "What are you going to do?"
"What are you doing?" The wet nurse raised her head slightly. Under the light of the torch, she looked like a judge, "The unclean princess is really a misfortune for the prince's family! Anyone who comes will be treated according to the family law!"
"Who dares!" He raised the ax at his feet with both hands. He Yanyan shuddered when she heard the word "family law" again -
Once, because someone in the family was unlearned and unskilled, he defiled the neighbor's girl. The prince used family methods to castrate the man and then threw him into a tiger's den to become a meal for wild beasts.
If you are accused of being unfaithful and unclean, you may be tortured to death by riding a wooden donkey!
Wielding the axe, He Yanyan did not expect that all the expectations in her heart would turn into poison that could kill her at this moment.
Seeing that no one around her dared to step forward, the wet nurse immediately issued an order: "If anyone ties up this woman and makes her kneel in front of me, I will reward you with a piece of silver!"
In an instant, the servants became bolder and threw the torches in the direction of He Yanyan, snatched the ax from her hand while she was hiding, and immediately tied her up with a rope and threw it in front of the wet nurse.
Scatter the money around casually, and whoever is strong enough will get it.
Lifting the girl's chin with an iron rod, the wet nurse set a torch in the snow: "Today, you will kneel here all night for me. This is the price for your disloyalty to the prince!"
Meeting the nanny's indifferent eyes fiercely, He Yanyan did not beg for mercy or shed tears. She sneered: "More than that? If it's for the prince, nanny, why don't you do this?"
"Of course I am doing it for the prince!"
Afraid that her ambition would be noticed by He Yanyan, she slapped He Yanyan hard on the face, leaving two strong men behind: "You guys take turns slapping her here, slap her for an hour and then come back.
"
With her lips trembling slightly, He Yanyan looked at the snow that was gradually thickening on the ground, and felt cold in her heart: "I probably won't survive tonight. My child... my mother can't forgive you..."
