t about the money, it was about completing the task and seeking revenge.Ning Shu raised her eyelids, the tips of her ears were red as if they could bleed, but in order to prove that she wasn't attract...The capital city was raining again.

The Empress Dowager forbids the Emperor from leaving the palace, and the servants must guard him closely.

Ning Shu lay in bed, the weather was a bit muggy. But his body was rather cold, and his hands and feet were also cold.

He frowned, his stomach still feeling a bit uneasy. He'd been thoroughly rattled ever since the Empress had said she wanted to take away his child. Ning Shu had pleaded with her desperately, but it hadn't moved the Empress's heart at all.

He felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that even though he was the Empress Dowager's blood relative, it couldn't change her determination to kill this child.

Ning Shu bit her lip, a layer of mist appearing in her eyes.

The servant entered the hall and brought over the prepared medicinal soup. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has instructed you to drink the medicine."

Ning Shu sat up straight, the servants' faces filled with alarm. It wasn't because of his protruding belly, but because of the Empress Dowager.

If the Empress Dowager wasn't ruthless, she wouldn't have made it through the ranks of all those concubines. These servants clearly know this, but if they dare to utter a word, they won't live to see another day.

Ning Shu was under house arrest, let alone leaving the palace; not even a fly could get out.

The Empress Dowager insisted on taking what was in his belly.

The servant lowered his head and remained standing, not leaving until the master had finished drinking the medicine.

Ning Shu let out a breath and then took the medicine.

Lowering her gaze.

That murky broth was bitter.

Ning Shu's face changed slightly, that feeling of nausea came up again. He endured the discomfort and then lowered his head, swallowing the medicine.

The servant watched him drink the medicine before retreating.

After the palace gates were closed.

Ning Shu, however, got out of bed and spat everything into the vase.

panted a few times.

He lay on the bed with a touch of discomfort, then reached out and touched his stomach.

He neither dared nor could he drink.

He knew the Empress Dowager definitely wasn't that kindhearted to give him a tonic for peace of mind. Maybe there was something in it, something that could affect the fetus in the long run.

Ning Shu dared not gamble.

He lowered his head, looking at his swollen belly. If it were in the past, he would never have imagined that he would have a child.

A pang of bitterness rose in Ning Shu's eyes.

He didn't want to become sentimental, but he wasn't sure if it was because of the pregnancy, he had become increasingly jumpy lately. Even with minor inconveniences, he would become uneasy and even anxious.

Ling Ling's voice echoed in my mind: "Host, did you really have a child"

The last time Lingling came, she noticed Ning Shu was pregnant. After all, her belly had grown quite noticeable.

Ning Shu was a little embarrassed, her face flushed slightly: "...Well, that's strange, right"

Zero Zero said there isn't any, host.

Ning Shu closed her eyes and said, "I know it sounds strange, you don't have to lie to me."

It is strange for a man to give birth to a child.

Liling comforted and said: “Don’t worry, host, Liling has seen other male creatures giving birth too.”

Ning Shu couldn't help but open her eyes.

Zero Zero continued, "Host, don't be surprised. Zero Zero is just a little surprised... Zero Zero has seen male births, and the children born are equally healthy and adorable."

Ning Shuxin's nervousness eased a little.

Actually, he was really afraid of other people's gazes, especially those around him. Hearing Zero say that, his heart felt a lot better.

Lingling continued, "Host, the Empress Dowager wants to get rid of your child. What should we do"

"Does the Regent know you're pregnant"

Ning Shu was stunned, feeling a strange mix of awkwardness and strangeness.

He wouldn't let Helian Yu know about this.

He patted his stomach and said, " ... I wasn't planning on telling him."

Zero Zero didn't seem so hostile this time. Its thoughts were simple: "But Host, wouldn't it be better if the Regent King knew After all, he's his child, this way he could save you too."

Ning Shu didn't speak.

When he found out about this child, his heart was filled with conflict, even wanting to get rid of the other party. Let alone trying to guess what Helian Yu was thinking, he wouldn't dare to gamble.

Ning Shu's heart was filled with fear. She feared that Helian Yu would treat the child as a monster, and she also feared that the other party would exploit the child....

She couldn't help but purse her lips, unwilling to continue the conversation.

Zero Zero saw that the host didn't want to talk more, so it changed the subject and said, "Host, what should we do now"

Ning Shu's gaze fell to the palace gate, and after a long while, she spoke, "Escape."

Yes, run.

He has no other choice now, he can only run.

If he doesn't escape, the only outcome for him is having this child taken away by the Empress Dowager.

Ning Shu would never agree.

Outside the palace, all were the Empress Dowager's people; inside the palace, the Emperor had been imprisoned for ten days.

It's always the same servants coming and going.

Ning Shu lay on the bed, after spitting out the medicine again, she glanced at the servant and said, “Where is De Gonggong”

The slave cautiously replied, "Master De has been sent to another hall."

Ning Shu didn't speak.

Duke Gong was the only servant he trusted. He had treated him well, sparing his life when others wouldn't have. Now, with their only hope gone, Duke Gong was all that remained.

Ning Shu closed her eyes a little dazed, her mind in a mess.

After a few more hours, the servant brought in the medicine.

The boy lying on the bed looked frail, yet his skin was fair and his features were strikingly handsome. Although his complexion was pale, he was very handsome, captivating one's gaze.

The servant's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again.

Then the person on the bed ordered, "Put the medicine there."

The slave raised his head, a touch hesitant: "But Your Majesty the Empress..."

The young man's tone turned cold and hard: "Are you listening to me, or to the Empress"

The slave could only put the medicine on the table.

He was just about to step aside and wait, when suddenly something struck his head. He instinctively reached up to touch his head, feeling the sticky blood.

Then he fell down.

Ning Shu stood on the bed, a little out of breath. He stared blankly at the fallen servant, his face slightly pale.

Especially the blood staining his eyes, making him want to vomit even more.

Ning Shu endured the discomfort and put down the vase in her hand.

Then he glanced outside the palace and got out of bed.

Strip the clothes off the slave.

When doing these things, Ning Shu's heart was somewhat uneasy and even anxious. This was his only chance, and if he was discovered by the Empress Dowager, he didn't know what would happen to him.

In a matter of moments, Ning Shu had changed her clothes.

He couldn't move the servant, so he just covered him up with bedding.Ming had just buried his face in his neck, leaving a string of wet and soft marks. His whole body felt wrong, he forcefully restrained that prickly feeling: "...nothing to do with you."The other party...
