"Guard the mansion well. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!" Ye Yichen ordered with a grave expression. "Also, go quickly and find Physician Ye. His Highness is so severely injured that perhaps only he can save him."
"Yes, Steward Ye."
Ye Yichen glanced at Shan Yu Yan, who was standing guard at the entrance. "Miss Shan, please return. I am fine here."
Shan Yu Yan's gaze drifted towards the outside of the courtyard. She could hear the sounds of a commotion from afar. Ye Yichen felt an immense headache. He had almost forgotten about this person for so long!
Luo Bing Qing, with her belly swollen, hurried towards them. The maids attending her could not stop her at all!
"Move aside, I want to see His Highness." Luo Bing Qing was extremely anxious. Due to her pregnancy, she was usually sleepy and would only wake up late in the morning. Today, she suddenly heard a muffled sound, which scared her to death. When she realized that the mansion where Prince Qin resided had been leveled to the ground, she immediately insisted on coming out.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?" Luo Bing Qing held her belly with one hand and her waist with the other, rapidly approaching the courtyard.
Ye Yichen's headache intensified. "At this time, she has to come and cause trouble!"
"You should find a way to deal with her. I will take care of His Highness here." Shan Yu Yan turned and walked into the room. "Don't worry, I have no other intentions towards His Highness. Even if your Prince is exceptionally outstanding, I would not like him!"
Ye Yichen raised an eyebrow, not believing her at all. He had never met a woman who could reject their Prince's charm.
"Is that so?"
"Of course." Shan Yu Yan turned back. "I, Shan Yu Yan, am not interested in my good sister's man. Even if this man were an immortal, in my eyes, he wouldn't even be as valuable as a single strand of my sister's hair."
Ye Yichen was taken aback. "Miss Shan means that our Prince is not as valuable as a single strand of your sister's hair?"
"Glad you understand." Shan Yu Yan entered the room, leaving Ye Yichen stunned. He thought she was merely being contrary and trying to lower his guard, but indeed, the priority was to handle the person outside. Su Dan Novel Network
Ye Yichen straightened his clothes and walked out. "My Prince is unique in heaven and earth, and your sister will eventually become our Prince's captive!"
"Miss Luo." Ye Yichen blocked Luo Bing Qing.
"Ye Yichen, get out of my way, I want to see His Highness!"
"Miss Luo, I am very sorry, but His Highness does not wish to see you at the moment. Furthermore, you are still under house arrest and are not allowed to leave your courtyard." Ye Yichen said calmly.
"I said, I want to see His Highness!" Luo Bing Qing straightened her belly and took a step forward, her abdomen nearly touching Ye Yichen.
Ye Yichen quickly took a step back, increasing the distance between himself and Luo Bing Qing. "Miss Luo, I am a crude man. If I accidentally injure you or the child in your womb, you will be the one who suffers."
"How dare you!" Luo Bing Qing took another step forward. "I am carrying His Highness's descendant in my womb. If you dare to harm His Highness's offspring, His Highness will skin you alive!"
Ye Yichen felt a bit helpless. Had Si Feng not told this lady the truth yet? His gaze immediately shifted in a certain direction. Si Feng kept signaling Ye Yichen, begging him to let Luo Bing Qing pass.
"Guards, escort Miss Luo back."
"Who dares touch me!" Luo Bing Qing barged in directly, and the guards immediately blocked her.
"Miss Luo, trespassing will be met with death without mercy," Ye Yichen said coldly. "No matter whose child you are carrying, it will not be your death warrant. If you wish to die, take another step inside and try."
Luo Bing Qing gritted her teeth and stepped forward. The guard's saber immediately slashed towards her feet. Luo Bing Qing, terrified, quickly withdrew her foot. The guard's saber struck the ground with a piercing sound. They were truly prepared to act!
"Ye Yichen, you actually dare to lay a hand on me!"
"Miss Luo, as I said, His Highness does not wish to see anyone at this time. If you insist on forcing your way in, then I will have to be impolite!"
"I am your future Princess Consort! And I am carrying your little master in my womb!"
Ye Yichen let out a cold scoff. "Miss Luo, please return."
Luo Bing Qing did not want to return, but she was afraid of harming the child in her womb. She could only grit her teeth and endure. "You wait. One day, I will have His Highness expel you from the mansion."
"I will await that day. Miss Luo, please return."
Luo Bing Qing left in a huff, her teeth gnashing. "To think a mere servant would dare speak to me like this!"
"Madam, please do not be angry." The attending maid whispered inεζ °. When His Highness is away, Steward Ye is in charge here and has the final say. "Steward Ye is also a person of absolute authority in the mansion. What he says is His Highness's will."
"You mean His Highness does not wish to see me?"
"Madam, His Highness merely does not want you to worry and wishes for you to rest and nurture your pregnancy with peace of mind!" The maid said with certainty. "The explosion today is definitely not a small matter. His Highness is afraid of frightening you and the child in your womb, hence he did not let you see."
Luo Bing Qing felt a little better. She placed one hand on her waist and the other on the maid's arm. "Let's go, back."
Ever since Lian Yi had her hands severed by Nan Gong Yu, she had become a vagrant supported by Prince Qin's mansion. Lian Yi had not left Prince Qin's mansion and was waiting for an opportunity. She had no chance of getting close to Prince Qin, but she had to become an aid to Shan Yu Yan!
Lian Yi had been looking for an opportunity to approach Luo Bing Qing, but Luo Bing Qing had always stayed in her courtyard and refused to come out. She finally managed to get Luo Bing Qing out, so how could she let this opportunity slip away?
Luo Bing Qing walked along the garden path. The garden had just been watered, and water marks could still be seen on the bluestone path. Luo Bing Qing did not pay much attention to it and stepped onto it. To her surprise, after stepping on it, her feet slipped, and she fell towards the ground. The maid beside her tried to help her up, but her feet also slipped, and they both fell to the ground.
"Ah, it hurts so much!" Luo Bing Qing immediately clutched her belly and cried out in pain. The maid was scared out of her wits, flipped over, and knelt on the ground to help her. "Madam, how are you?"
"My stomach, my stomach hurts so much." Luo Bing Qing was filled with panic. "It hurts so much, it really hurts so much."
"Madam, can you stand up?" The maid tried to help her up, but every movement made Luo Bing Qing's stomach hurt severely.
"No, my stomach hurts so much!"
The maid's gaze fell on Luo Bing Qing's skirt. Blood slowly seeped out, staining her skirt red. The maid's heart trembled. "Someone, quickly, someone! A doctor, quickly, someone!"
A gust of wind blew past. Before the maid could react, Si Feng had already picked her up. "Go invite a doctor."
"Yes." The maid hurried off to fetch a doctor, while Si Feng took Luo Bing Qing back to her courtyard. Ye Yichen, upon learning that Luo Bing Qing had fallen and her condition was not good, immediately dispatched a doctor to treat her.
