Ning Nishang was fine, but she was worried about Qi Yitang after hearing that she had miscarried.

Seeing her eating well, sleeping soundly, and with a rosy complexion, I finally felt relieved.

Her gaze fell on Qi Yitang's abdomen, and she asked softly, "Tangtang, can I touch it?"

"Sure, you can sit here and touch it."

Qi Yitang was very generous. She patted the spot next to her and said, "Yanzhi, move aside."

Ning Nishang dared not ask His Majesty to make room for her, and was about to decline when Xie Ling actually got up and gave her the seat on the edge of the couch.

Although Xie Ling held the imperial throne and was high above others, he was not the kind of person who was ungrateful.

He has many siblings, including half-siblings, which makes Xie Ling realize how difficult it is to find even one or two genuine friends.

Besides, Ning Nishang is just her cousin, yet she stepped forward to protect Tangtang in that critical moment yesterday.

He's genuinely sincere.

Ning Nishang was a little flattered, but she did not refuse. After sitting down, she carefully placed her hand on Qi Yitang's slightly protruding (overeating) belly.

After a while, she blinked. "It seems... there's still no movement."

Qi Yitang seemed quite knowledgeable, saying, "The imperial physician said it takes more than four months for the baby to start moving. It's only been two months, and the baby is only the size of a pineapple."

Four months...

Ning Nishang felt a slight pang of reluctance. By then, she might have already returned to Chezhou with Lin Bai and would never see him again.

However, this child will definitely be as cute as a miniature version of Tangtang, and with His Majesty's love and protection, he will certainly not let it feel neglected or ignored like Tangtang did when she was a child.

Just then, Qi Yitang's gaze suddenly fell on her lips, and she leaned closer suspiciously.

"Cousin, what happened to your lips? They look like they're chapped."

Ning Nishang was taken aback, subconsciously raising her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes darting around for a moment, "...It's nothing, probably just a mosquito bite."

Qi Yitang expressed skepticism, "It's not even summer yet, where would mosquitoes come from?"

That might fool a child, but it won't fool someone like her who's been through it all.

He glanced at Lu Linbai without making a sound, and sure enough, the man's expression was unnatural. He touched his nose as if trying to cover it up, and—his lip was also cut.

【How could it not be a mosquito? The female supporting character is too inexperienced. I've seen mosquitoes that are over 1.8 meters tall and weigh over 100 kilograms.】

[These two are secretly eating together behind our backs, that's not fair!]

Qi Yitang's eyes widened; she knew it!

[When did they kiss? Was it yesterday?]

Actually, the comments on the live stream were pretty much right; it was the kiss from yesterday.

Lu Linbai had little interest in the tiring and boring task of hunting, so he invited Ning Nishang out for a walk, hoping to cultivate their relationship.

The woods are secluded, undisturbed, and have a wonderful atmosphere.

As they talked, they walked and stopped, and somehow their lips ended up touching.

Ning Nishang had little experience in this area, and Lu Linbai was also quite inexperienced. The two of them stumbled and awkwardly tried to make their way through the situation.

As things progressed, Lu Linbai pinned Ning Nishang down onto a large rock and kissed her with increasing passion.

Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from the hunting grounds, saying that assassins had appeared!

The two were startled; their lips touched, and the lips struck the tips of their teeth, breaking a small piece of skin.

Ning Nishang deliberately used face powder to cover up her lipstick and applied an even heavier layer of lip rouge than usual, but Qi Yitang still noticed.

She was already shy, and now her ears turned bright red.

Qi Yitang drew out her words meaningfully, "Oh, it was a mosquito... Cousin, you'd better be more careful next time, don't let the mosquitoes succeed so quickly."

Lu Linbai: "..."

Why don't you know to see through things but not say anything? How annoying.

……

To avoid being teased by Qi Yitang, Lu Linbai took Ning Nishang away.

Qi Jiyun, however, refused to leave, saying that the tea here was delicious.

What kind of tea is good? Qi Yitang knew perfectly well that he probably had ulterior motives, so she went along with it and went to see Chi Zheng.

Of those who were hit by the tiger and sent flying in yesterday's melee, and who later coughed twice in front of Xie Ling to pretend to be weak and suffering from internal injuries, Chi Zheng was the most seriously injured.

The tiger's claws barely grazed her shoulder, yet the wounds were deep enough to expose the bone.

Now we're back to the familiar "belt" pattern, with Xie Ling following wherever Qi Yitang goes.

Originally, she was not allowed to leave the palace, but after Qi Yitang brought up the idea that pregnant women need to be in a good mood, Xie Ling had no choice.

I had no choice but to settle for second best and carry her the whole way.

If you don't get out of bed, you won't disturb the fetus.

When the three arrived at Chi Zheng's place, she was applying medicine to herself with one hand. Hearing the noise, she quickly put on her coat and got up to open the door.

"Your subordinate reports..."

Qi Yitang quickly helped the person up, "Get up, you're injured, why are you bowing?"

"I've come to see you. Thanks to you all yesterday, otherwise I fear I would have been in grave danger. Take good care of yourself these days and I'll give you an extra five hundred taels of silver. Don't refuse."

Chi Zheng said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. This is only my duty. It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

What minor injury?

Qi Jiyun's face darkened. Yesterday, when he came to visit, Qi Jiyun refused to let him in, saying that men and women should not touch each other.

Now you know there's a difference between men and women?

Why didn't you say anything when you used to kiss and touch him?

Having roamed the martial arts world for so many years, Qi Jiyun had comforted countless virtuous women who had been betrayed by scumbags. Only when he encountered a scumbag woman who dared to do the deed but not to admit it did he realize the helplessness he felt.

They slept in the same room for several months, and he gave her his innocence. What could he do about it?

The only option was to slip the medicine through the crack in the window.

Fearing she wouldn't use it, he used the excuse of his good sister to come and see her—if he wasn't allowed in, how could he not allow the emperor and empress to enter?

Chi Zheng naturally didn't dare to stop him, and respectfully made way.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come in."

Qi Jiyun slipped inside like a slippery eel. As soon as he entered, he acted like the master of the house, turning to Xie Ling and saying, "Brother-in-law Emperor, please close your eyes for a moment, it is improper to look at such things."

Xie Ling was always the one giving orders; no one else dared to do anything to him.

However, considering that Qi Jiyun was Tangtang's closest brother, Xie Ling closed her eyes.

Qi Yitang was curious about what her fourth brother was going to do when she saw him press Chi Zheng down on the chair and, without saying a word, reach out and tear off her clothes.

"Fourth Young Master!" Chi Zheng instinctively pressed her hand to her clothes.

With His Majesty and His Majesty present, what kind of decorum is this?

Qi Jiyun said quietly, "Zhengzheng, if you dare to move, I'll kiss you right here. Anyway, I'm shameless, so you'd better watch out."

Qi Yitang secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. He's even calling her "Zhengzheng" now. It seems that Fourth Brother's pursuit of his wife is progressing remarkably well.

Chi Zheng was stunned by this shameless act and her hand loosened slightly. Qi Jiyun then easily pulled open a corner of her outer garment, revealing the three hideous wounds on her shoulder where the skin had been torn open.

"Is it made of wood?" Qi Jiyun's face was grim. "You didn't even apply medicine to such a serious wound!"

Chi Zheng hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. If he hadn't come, she would have already applied the medicine.

Qi Jiyun took out some medicine for the wound, saying, "Remember to tell me if it hurts."

"……oh."

For some reason, Qi Yitang suddenly felt that her bright appearance was particularly irritating.

"Yanzhi, let's go."

Of course, he wasn't really leaving. After pulling Xie Ling outside, Qi Yitang, familiar with the place, clung to the window frame and continued to peek.

Xie Ling: "..."

Is it really that nice to listen to your own brother and sister-in-law's corner?
