Chapter 284 Distinguished Guest
"Your Majesty~"
Xin Moyan pouted and shook the corner of her blood-red robe in a coquettish manner, trying her best to act cute and pitiful. Her clumsy acting made Ye Wumian feel somewhat helpless.
"Little Yan'er, although I like your obedient appearance, I will not soften my heart. You can be the empress in peace."
He tucked the jade pendant into his pocket, then sighed, "What a pity. If only you were pregnant with his child right now."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Wumian turned to her and gave her a seductive smile, "Didn't I say that as long as you become my empress, the son you give birth to will be the crown prince?"
Xin Moyan's mouth dropped open. "You mean, if I marry you now while pregnant, and the child is still Xuan Yuan's, you'll still make him the crown prince?"
"Ah."
Her pupils dilated instantly; she felt as if her entire worldview had been shattered.
"Sleepless Night, you're such a pervert! You really like other men's wives that much? Especially wives carrying other men's children? You really enjoy being a cheapskate father? A sucker who takes over someone else's burden? You're even willing to hand over the country to someone else?"
Ye Wumian was speechless and his face fell. "Little Yan'er, I don't like other people's wives. I want to marry you because you are his wife."
"Isn't he your enemy? You're letting your enemy's son inherit your throne?"
Through the man's shoulder, she caught a glimpse of Yao Ruoyu nodding at her. Now there was no way to get the jade pendant back…
"Who said he was..."
"Ouch!"
Ye Wumian was only halfway through her sentence when Yao Ruoyu cried out in pain.
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Yao Ruoyu with a pale face, clutching her stomach in great pain.
"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much!"
Ye Wumian's heart jumped into his throat instantly, and he became flustered. He rushed to her side and put his arm around her.
"what happened?"
Yao Ruoyu, now devoid of her usual arrogance, had tears welling in her eyes as she tugged at his sleeve and choked out, "Your Majesty...my stomach hurts so much, please save my child."
"boom!"
He grabbed a wine glass from the table and smashed it, his eyes flashing with an abnormal excitement, which startled the women playing the piano and dancing, causing them to shudder and stop their movements.
"Get out of here, all of you! Summon the Imperial Physician!"
"Summon all the Imperial Medical Academy personnel here!"
He roared, and the palace servants, terrified, all rushed out and hurriedly ran to the Imperial Hospital.
Ye Wumian reached out and scooped Yao Ruoyu into his arms, then hurriedly walked to the bed.
"Your Majesty, my child..."
Tears silently streamed down her face, and her pitiful, heartbroken appearance caused Ye Wumian a pang of pain in her heart, making her voice soften involuntarily.
"It's alright, I won't let anything happen to your child."
He carefully placed Yao Ruoyu on the bed, holding her fair and delicate hands tightly in his own. Her wrists were so slender that it pained him to see them like that.
"Ruoyu, it's alright, don't worry, the imperial physician will be here soon."
Yao Ruoyu nodded without speaking, her eyes filled with tears, making her truly pitiful and heartbreaking.
Seeing this, Xin Moyan did not step forward to inquire, but instead retreated step by step until her legs touched the threshold. Just as she was about to step out, she turned around and met the guards at the door in bewilderment...
"Where has everyone gone? Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?"
Before Ye Wumian could turn around, she rushed to his side, her voice filled with worry and anxiety.
"Sister Ruoyu, how are you?"
"Yan'er, I...I'm afraid of my child..."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, which made the person extremely nervous, and they quickly comforted her.
"It's alright, Ruoyu, the baby is fine."
He turned around and headed for the door. "Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet? If you delay any longer, I'll kill you all."
Before long, several imperial physicians rushed over, trembling with fear, not even having time to straighten their clothes.
Despite the frost and snow covering the sky, the elderly imperial physicians were drenched in sweat and felt as if they were walking on thin ice under the emperor's powerful aura.
"Your Majesty, Consort Yao is overworked and has also fallen before, so her body can't take it, which is why she suddenly has a persistent abdominal pain. She should be careful from now on and it would be best for her to rest in bed. She should also be careful with her movements."
"What about the child?"
Hearing that she was exhausted, Ye Wumian felt a pang of guilt. He knew very well that he hadn't let her rest properly these past few days.
"The child... is fine for now, but still needs careful attention. This old minister will have someone prepare a medicine to help with the pregnancy. I hope Your Highness will rest well and not move around too much."
The old imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he couldn't understand how such a cruel person as the king could tolerate the impure bloodline of the royal family, compared to the innocent souls who had perished in the harem, it seemed that this Consort Yao had a promising future!
"Did you hear that? Your Majesty, the reason Sister Ruoyu has been suffering from stomach pain is because you always order her around and make her kneel before you at the drop of a hat..."
The accusatory tone in those words was quite obvious, and Ye Wumian didn't bother to argue too much. He then knelt down by the bedside, reached out and touched Yao Ruoyu's cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"It's alright, the child is fine, don't worry."
"Ah."
Yao Ruoyu responded softly, her attitude no longer as cold as before, leaving Ye Wumian at a loss for what to do.
Xin Moyan stood to the side, scratching her hair in frustration. She hadn't expected there to be guards at the door. What should she do?
After a while, a palace maid came in carrying a bowl of strong medicine to help prevent miscarriage.
Without a second thought, Ye Wumian carefully helped her sit up, picked up the bowl, and began to feed her gently and tenderly, his tone unusually doting.
"Ruoyu, you should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. I will not ask you to do anything else."
"Ah."
Yao Ruoyu nodded, without showing much expression.
Seeing that she did not reject him, Ye Wumian became bolder and gently rubbed her stomach with a tender and affectionate gaze.
This surprised Yao Ruoyu greatly, but...
Xin Moyan's face was almost contorted with resentment. She was extremely annoyed. This was not the original plot. She should have taken the opportunity to escape. She felt sorry for Sister Ruoyu.
However, if Sister Ruoyu also has sleepless nights in her heart, then let it go and consider it a chance for them to ease their tensions...
Just then, a man in black rushed in from outside the door, his ghostly speed leaving Xin Moyan speechless.
"Kings."
"roll!"
He's only concerned with the woman in front of him now, completely oblivious to matters of state and the court...
The man, unwilling to give up, knelt on the ground and shouted again.
"Kings."
"I told you to get out!"
Nightless turned his head, his scarlet eyes surging with murderous intent.
"Your Majesty, we have distinguished guests."
The oppressive atmosphere in the room instantly dissipated upon hearing these words.
His long eyebrows rose, and his mood changed accordingly, his excitement evident in his expression.
"Okay! Hahaha~"
Nightless's sudden burst of laughter left the two women somewhat bewildered.
"Little Yan'er, you stay here with Ruoyu, I'll be right back!"
