Tuoba Rui's brow creased. It was already late in the night, and today was the day of the ghost. The streets would definitely be packed with people.

She pursed her lips in displeasure. Didn't this woman know that she was pregnant?

One moment he was saying that he loved the child inside his belly, the next he ran out without knowing the severity of the situation …

If something happened to the child, he definitely wouldn't forgive her!

As he thought of this, he also stood up from his seat, intending to catch up.

The crook of his arm was grasped.

Tuoba Rui's eyes flickered slightly as he lowered them to look at Huang Xiaolong.

Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up with a layer of watery light as she said with a gentle voice, "Your Highness …"

Upon hearing her slightly shaky voice, Nan Jue, who was originally prepared to chase after the Emperor with Zhen Feng, stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at her.

Tuoba Rui stared at her tearful eyes. He seemed to be startled for a moment. A familiar scene quickly flashed through his mind. His heart lurched as he held the hand wrapped around his arm and slid it down without hesitation.

Ye Qingqing choked with sobs. She used some strength in her hands on his arms, but in the end, they were still peeled off by him. Tears fell from her eyes.

However, Tuoba Rui didn't seem to notice the tears on her face. He patted her arm and said, "Qing Qing, just stay here. This King will be right back."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room. When he reached the door, his arm was grabbed by someone once again.

Tuoba Rui impatiently looked over. "South Jue!"

"Your Highness, please stay here with the Duchess. She's pregnant right now, so if you leave her here, she'll be a weak girl. There's no one to look after her, so it wouldn't be good if something were to happen." Pausing, "Yue'er …" Prince, don't worry. As your brother, I will definitely protect her well! "

Tuoba Rui gave him a strange look, his face turning slightly cold. He snorted and shook off his hand, then continued walking. "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Yuchi to protect this prince's wife first!"

"…" Nan Jue swiftly clenched his fist, his jade-like face turning completely black.

Ye Qingqing held her heart and closed her eyes tightly. She bit her lips so hard that there was some blood on it. Her delicate body trembled because she was trying her best to restrain herself from sobbing.

He unconsciously walked in front of her and pretended to be relaxed as he smiled, "You've already grown up, but you still love to cry so much. If the child in your stomach saw it, then as a mother, you wouldn't be ashamed …"

Nan Jue's body was suddenly hit and his waist was tightly held. His entire body stiffened as he lowered his head and looked at the woman that was pouncing on him.

Ye Qingqing sat on the stool with her hands around his waist, hiding her face in his waist. Her eyes were wide open, filled with murderous intent, but her voice was trembling, her body was trembling slightly, looking very pitiful, "Brother Nan, don't talk, don't push me away, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, let me lean on you … …"

His heart was in extreme pain. No matter what, he could not refuse this woman. Even if she wanted his life, he would not hesitate to offer her both of his hands.

And now that the woman he regarded as a life was crying so miserably in his arms, he didn't know how to ease her grief.

She was not his after all. Even if he wanted to pamper her, he was not qualified. The hand that was about to fall on her shoulder drooped limply. His fists were clenched tightly. He did not speak, nor did he push her away.

Tuoba Yu chased after her and saw that someone had picked up two ghost masks from the stall and put them on both of them. He stared at her with his phoenix eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally wanted to take her out of the palace while it was still lively today. But he didn't expect her to leave. He didn't even say anything to her before he dragged her along and ran out. Thinking of this, his heart grew heavy.

She looked at both sides of the street.

At this moment, the street was filled with people. The lights were bright, the peddlers were hawking their wares, the pedestrians were chatting and laughing, and there were piles of chattering voices mixed together, unceasingly piercing his eardrums.

Frowning, he was just about to walk over when the street suddenly became rowdy. Rows and rows of people walking on top of their high feet and on top of Phantom Face slowly walked over, the pedestrians on the street all put on the masks in their hands and quickly gathered over, watching as the two of them were gradually submerged in the sea of people.

Tuoba Yu cursed in a low voice and squeezed his way inside.

Zhen Jian saw the dense crowd and raised his eyebrows. He had long since heard that the Ghost General's day was unusually lively. Today, he had no choice but to walk in as he saw that the situation was out of the ordinary.

When Tuoba Rui walked out with a dark expression, all he could see were heads swinging in front of his eyes.

Anger filled his heart as he also merged into the stream of people.

Shen Zhi Qiao and Nan Yue were also shocked by this scene.

He didn't forget that she had a little thing in her stomach. Shen Zhiqiao quickly held onto Nan Yue's hand and nervously protected her, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

Although she really wanted to follow the flow, it was still because the child in her womb was more important. She leaned over and whispered into Shen Zhiqiao's ear, "Ah Zhi, there are too many people. Let's wait for them to disperse."

Shen Zhiqiao also felt that they shouldn't take the risk. He pulled her to the side of the street. When they squeezed out of the street, the two of them were in a sorry state. They panted heavily.

Shen Zhiqiao looked at the side where Nan Yue had been pushed and laughed at her messy hair, "Nan Yue, if you have a broken bowl in your hand now, I think I'll give you a steamed bun!"

When she heard her words, she raised her head to look at her and immediately burst into laughter, "Shen Zhiqiao, you crazy woman, you're still talking about me. Look at you now, you're even more ecstatic than I am."

Shen Zhi Qiao was stunned for a moment, she lowered her head to look, and her lips started twitching uncertainly. She was a big pussy, and the belt around her waist was even slightly loosened, and her hair, which had been tied up with a hairpin, also fell down to her chest. She felt that if she were to use this image to choose Mei Chaofeng, she would definitely be able to win.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

She raised her head and looked at Nan Yue. Both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud against the wall. Nan Yue laughed until tears flowed out, "Ah Zhi, I haven't been this happy for a long time. I'm going to die from laughter!"

When Shen Zhiqiao heard her words, he couldn't laugh anymore. He leaned against the wall and looked at her, but she had already taken off her mask. She was laughing so much that she couldn't keep wiping the tears from her eyes.

Her eyes suddenly felt sore as she turned her body to her side to help her move away from her, and then she started to do some shading with her messy hair, "Nan Yue, you're about to be a mother. I don't think I've told you before …" Lifting his head, the corners of his mouth widened into a smile. "Congratulations!"

She had been transported to the Eastern Tomb Dynasty for six years, and she had known Nan Yue for five years.

This woman had an imposing appearance, but a warm heart.

She could do whatever she wanted in front of her. She would argue with her whenever she wanted, but no matter what, they would always make up for it. However, every time they made up, both of them would say the wrong things, but their hearts still felt that it was their fault, so it didn't affect their relationship.

She only hoped that the young and arrogant woman who accompanied her through her youth would be happy.

Nan Yue's eyes moistened and she slapped her hand away, saying, "Congratulations? "You must be jealous of me …"

He glanced at her stomach, "The young emperor is young and strong, and also has yet to experience love affairs. He must be as powerful as a tiger, so you should go take a look tomorrow. Maybe the seeds have already been planted."

Shen Zhi Qiao's face reddened. She hid her embarrassment and ignored the latter part of her sentence, "Who's jealous? Don't be cocky. If you give birth to a daughter, you'll be raised by someone else."

She then lowered her head to tidy up her clothes, thinking about what she had said.

He had never taken any action with her... Ye Zichen rubbed his stomach. This place, could it be … Shaking my head, I should... Impossible...
