"Remember, when the time comes, don't scream out loud. Save your strength," Xiang repeatedly admonished Song Jinyu.
The two walked hand in hand towards the main gate.
Song Jinyu supported her belly and watched as Xiang got on the carriage and was about to drive away. Unexpectedly, from the side, someone suddenly rushed in recklessly.
In an instant, unable to dodge in time, the person was heading straight for Song Jinyu. The sharp blade glinted menacingly, and it seemed about to pierce Song Jinyu!
Niaoniao was quick - witted and gently pushed Song Jinyu aside. However, Song Jinyu felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily for a moment. She almost fell to the ground.
Just as she fell, she didn't feel the pain. In a daze, she seemed to hear Rong Shuang'er's voice, "Quickly save the princess!"
The guards beside them quickly grabbed the reckless person. Rong Shuang'er had just arrived at the prince's mansion. Without thinking much, she directly blocked under Song Jinyu.
The guards at the mansion gate quickly caught the reckless person. The princess had already fallen to the ground, and they didn't dare to move her.
Rong Shuang'er was lying on the ground. She happened to catch Song Jinyu's body, but unfortunately, she had miscarried!
Thankfully, there were no other problems with her body.
This scene fell into Ming Ruyi's eyes. He clearly knew that his beloved was Song Jinyu, but still, Rong Shuang'er was willing to protect her with her own body.
Presumably, Rong Shuang'er was also seriously injured.
In a split - second, he seemed to understand something. Now that the people of Prince Yu's mansion had controlled the situation, he stepped forward.
He lowered his head and seriously looked at Rong Shuang'er, as if he was seeing her for the first time.
Song Jinyu woke up from the coma and only then knew that it was the crazy Lady Ling.
Because she hated Song Jinyu so much,
she waited for an opportunity to take revenge on Prince Yu's mansion, which was why this happened during the day. Fortunately, Rong Shuang'er came to see her at that time and blocked the fatal blow for her.
"How is Shuang'er?"
Zhongli Mingye was guarding her. "Uncle is guarding her. She has a serious injury on her back."
"This..." Song Jinyu grabbed his hand. "We must save Shuang'er. If it weren't for her, I might not have escaped this disaster today."
"Okay, okay, okay... You should rest at ease. The imperial doctor said that you've miscarried and must stay in bed for several days." Zhongli Mingye coaxed her. After taking the anti - miscarriage medicine,
she fell asleep again, and only then did he leave.
"Replace all the guards at the mansion gate! Moreover, since the Ling family let Lady Ling out, this prince won't let them get away with it so easily!"
"Kill!"
"Those useless people don't deserve to live in this world!" At this moment, Prince Yu was extremely angry. For a moment, everyone in Prince Yu's mansion was on tenterhooks.
His face was ashen. He never expected that despite his meticulous care and extreme favor, Song Jinyu was still injured.
"The Ling family? Hmph..."
He waved his hand, signaling Qingfeng, Wei Changyuan, and Xing Jian. "This prince..."
"Will make sure that there is no longer a Ling family in this world!"
"Yes, my lord!"
After the three of them retreated, their figures gradually disappeared into the night.
Rong Shuang'er was lying on the bed on her stomach. Since she couldn't catch Song Jinyu in time, she had to be the cushion. Her back was burning with pain.
The imperial doctor of Prince Yu's mansion had applied medicine to her, and she couldn't get up. She had to lie on her stomach... Alas... It was really inconvenient.
Prince Yu had sent someone to take care of her personally. It was known that she was now a distinguished guest of Prince Yu's mansion and also the savior of the princess and the future heir.
A savior? Song Jinyu was the princess of Prince Yu and also her friend.
The medicine seemed to have a sedative effect. She was in a daze, half - asleep. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice: "Aren't you being stupid like this?"
"Stupid about what? She is my friend!"
The wound on her back was faintly painful. Rong Shuang'er didn't have the patience to think about whether it was stupid or not. Unexpectedly, that person just sat beside the bed.
His fingers gently and ambiguously slid across her bare shoulder. The cold touch made Rong Shuang'er shiver all over.
"What are you doing?"
Only then did she react. It was Ming Ruyi who had come in!
Her eyes widened, and she looked at him accusingly. "What are you doing here?"
Ming Ruyi waved his fan and said teasingly, "You are this prince's fiancée. What's wrong with this prince coming to see you?" What was he talking about? Rong Shuang'er inexplicably felt a little nervous. Since her whole back was injured, she was almost naked under the quilt. She looked around, but not a single serving maid was in sight.
"You... you... you go out first..." It was too embarrassing at the moment. Rong Shuang'er didn't want to talk to him. After all... Her father had gone to the emperor a few days ago to dissolve the engagement.
This person was really so out of line!
Ming Ruyi seriously looked at her. Under his burning gaze, the young girl retreated step by step. Having no other choice, she closed her eyes and pretended to rest.
"You were so bold before, but now you've become a timid mouse?"
For a long time, the person under the quilt didn't make a sound. Just when Ming Ruyi thought she was asleep, he only heard the girl say clearly, "That's because I'm no longer persistent and don't want to entangle you anymore."
"The Rong Shuang'er of the past will never return."
"Now, our marriage has been canceled. Your Highness has also achieved what you wanted. Why bother to mock this humble girl?"
Mock? Ming Ruyi only then realized that Rong Shuang'er had misunderstood him deeply. "You girl! You're really rude..."
Rude? Rong Shuang'er felt heart - broken. Had she always been rude?
"You were trying to win this prince's heart, but now you want to let go?" Trying to win his heart? Rong Shuang'er was surprised and turned her head back.
"Your Highness, stop teasing this humble girl. Now this humble girl is in talks about marriage with the Qin family. Let's not trouble ourselves anymore."
He held the fan handle and gently tapped her fair and jade - like shoulder. Then he suddenly lowered his head and kissed it.
"You!" Startled by his action, Rong Shuang'er forgot about the wound on her back and quickly dodged further away. "Um... Since this prince has kissed you... you belong to this prince... You,"
"Don't even think about marrying someone else!"
After saying that, he left with a proud laugh. Before leaving, he pulled up the corner of the quilt for her. "Don't let others see you... Ha..."
Rong Shuang'er was distracted by his actions. They were supposed to stay out of each other's way. Why, why did he still come to provoke her?
Rong Shuang'er, who couldn't figure it out, just sat there in a daze. She didn't come back to her senses until the maid came in to serve her dinner.
After Ming Ruyi left Prince Yu's mansion, he went straight to the Empress Dowager's palace. Then he went to the emperor.
The emperor rubbed his temples. "Do you know that I've already agreed to the Duke of Rong!"
"Last time when I bestowed the marriage, you did everything you could not to marry. Now you suddenly want to marry."
"Last time it was this younger brother's mistake. Now this younger brother has realized Shuang'er's goodness. Please, Your Majesty, grant your approval. Please, Your Majesty!" He knelt on the ground.
The once - proud man was now willing to shed his pride for Rong Shuang'er.
Missing out last time meant there would be no chance for regret; if he missed out this time, then he, Ming Ruyi, would really be stupid.
"You go back first. I'll think about it carefully!"
