clumsily. She shook her head while her voice was as soft as a mosquito buzzing, resisting: "No... Don't... don't touch me!"Leng Ye was stunned for a moment, looking at Liang Yimo who was panicked and..."What do you think she wants" Leng Yechen countered.

Lianhua speculated: "Maybe they saw your son as a friend at the time Or perhaps because they truly admired your son and couldn't bear to see your son and family heartbroken over Xing'er's affair"

"As far as I know, she also inquired about Xing'er in the dark market. This is also one of the reasons why my grandfather dislikes her. Grandfather has always suspected that her approach to Xiaochen was impure." Leng Yechen continued.

Lianhua Sheng laughed: "That being said, ever since Qin Nians Xia trespassed into Xing'er's mountain, haven't you been sending people to keep an eye on her Didn't you find anything unusual about her behavior or any malicious intentions If she had bad intentions and upset you, wouldn't you have sent someone to notify Xiao Chen multiple times about her danger In fact, you always believe in your son's judgment, don't you The old man has repeatedly told you that he dislikes Qin Nians Xia and asked you to take care of it. Haven't you also stayed out of it all this time It's because you ignored it that you pushed the old man to desperation, forcing him to personally handle Qin Nians Xia. And you even asked me to report to Xiao Chen about it."

"I understand what you mean." Leng Ye's voice was grave, "Xiao Chen has finally followed in my old footsteps."

"If you don't want Xiaocheng to follow your path, I can still help you. I can discreetly take care of Qin Niandong's child in her womb. However, this means that Xing'er..." Lian Huasheng hesitated.

"Do you think I have a choice Both sides are my blood." Leng Ye sank low, countered.

Lianhua sighed, "Then choose to believe in your son's abilities! Actually, Xiao Chen is very excellent now."

In the cold night, he remained silent, only his brows furrowed in thought.

The Sacred Maiden's Quarters within the Palace.

After Qin Nianxia woke up, she leaned against the headboard and watched Qingdai who was taking her pulse.

Qing Dai spoke earnestly, "No matter how much you vomit, you still need to eat more. Otherwise, the little one in your belly will protest."

"Grandma, do you believe in a mother's intuition" Qin Nianxia's face was slightly pale, but her eyes were smiling.

"Huh" Qing Dai retorted, "What intuition do you have"

"I think I'm carrying twins!" Qin Nianxia gestured.

Qing Dai smiled and said, "That's right, you're carrying dragon and phoenix twins."

"Can this be played out too" Qin Nianxia was surprised.

Qing Dai didn't say the reason, she just joked: "As my grandmother's intuition."

"Grandma."

"Huh"

"People in the palace are saying that I'm carrying the lord's child. Is it true" Qin Nianxia asked dubiously.

Qing Dai choked back a sob, countering with, "Don't you know who the child is yours"

"Ever since I recovered from my last illness, my memory has been hazy. Although I don't know whose child I'm carrying, subconsciously, I always feel that the child is particularly destined for me." Qin Nianxia said with a smile as she gently caressed her stomach.

"Has Yan Ze hurt you again recently" Qing Dai asked.

Qin Nianxia shook her head slightly.

"Just in case, Grandma left this medicine box for you. You know all the medicines and herbs inside." Qing Dai placed her medicine box on the bedside table.

Qin Nianxia nodded slightly and whispered, "Grandma, I've discovered there's movement in the palace. You and Grandpa also need to start preparing."

"Don't worry! No matter who becomes king, they can't threaten our Mu family." Qing Dai took Qin Nian Xia's hand and comforted her, "You don't have to worry about the Mu family, just take good care of yourself in the palace and your pregnancy."

"Mm." Qin Nianxia smiled and nodded.

Qing Dai accompanied her for a while, then took the notebook from her hand and left.

And then, she was once again alone, confined within this Holy Maiden's Palace.

After an unknown number of days, that night, there was movement outside the high walls of the Holy Maiden's Pavilion.

When Qin Nianxia was about to rest, there came a hurried knocking at the door outside.

She hesitated for a moment, but still put on her cloak and walked to the gate.

"My lord, it's me! Open the door quickly!"

It was the voice of the maid who delivered her meals every day.

Qin Nianxia hurriedly opened the large iron gate, but only a servant girl helped a guard walk in.

There were still two guards at the gate, but when they saw the two of them coming in, they neither stopped nor questioned them, just let them in.

Qin Nianxia immediately closed the door and saw the maidservant supporting the guard towards her room. She inquired, “Is he your friend What’s wrong with your friend”

"He had a headache, so bad he fainted. I didn't know what to do to help him, but I thought, you must have a way!" the maid cried anxiously.

Qin Nianxia hurried forward and ordered, "Help him to my bed, I'll take a look at him."

"Good!" The maid helped the guard to bed.

Qin Nianxia reached out her hand.

However, the instant her fingers grazed the guard's body, a strange sense of familiarity washed over her.

She was stunned for a moment; if it hadn't been for the maidservant calling her, she would have stood there absentmindedly.

"Is he just suffering from a severe headache" Qin Nianxia came back to her senses and asked concernedly.

The maid nodded. "He said his painkillers fell out, and asked me to find them for him. They're in a small white porcelain bottle."

"Pain relievers In a white porcelain bottle" Qin Nianxia asked, "Could it be that my grandfather prescribed them for him"

Only my grandfather, that old-fashioned guy, still keeps the habit of using small porcelain bottles to store his homemade pills.

Qin Nianxia then checked the guard. He didn't have a fever, no external injuries on his body, and he didn't seem to have a cold.

If you can enter the palace as a guard, your body should not have any old injuries or major illnesses.

Well then...

Qin Nianxia began to ponder, could this guard have been poisoned

She began to check the back of the guard's ears and neck, places where it was easy to be poisoned, but she inadvertently discovered that this guard had actually changed his appearance!

This man is not a real guard from the palace!

Qin Nianxia subconsciously glanced at the maid.

As expected, her suspicions that day were not unfounded. This maid was not from the palace.

What are they all abouther had imparted to her.The next second, Tong Yimo couldn't help but laugh herself.In the cold night, Chen sunk a smirk at the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head slightly and was about to kiss do...
