The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Xie Changqing was the first to jump out and stop them.

What do you mean by cousins? Can they be more important than the Emperor's child? What will happen to the country and its people if something goes wrong?

Besides, this is the only bloodline left by my elder brother in the world...

He absolutely will not allow it!

The Empress Dowager also got up from her sickbed to express her disapproval.

Lu Linbai couldn't bring himself to let a pregnant woman who was about to give birth personally risk her life; he simply asked her to send more people.

He'll go and save his own wife himself!

Qi Yitang, however, said, "No, I'll go."

Qi Yitang has a clear understanding of herself. She is just a vicious female supporting character. She is extremely selfish at heart. She only thinks about herself when there is something good. This is her consistent traditional virtue.

Therefore, I cannot repay evil with kindness like the female lead and sacrifice myself to protect her.

Besides, she's about to give birth, and she can't risk the child.

The comments were absolutely right: Ning Nishang is the female lead and the core of this world's destiny.

If something happens to her, the world will collapse, and the child, everyone, will all die!

Everyone objected, but Chi Zheng stepped forward, "Your Majesty, please go. I will protect you closely and ensure your safety."

Princess Anping seemed to have sensed something, and her brows relaxed slightly.

"Go ahead, take more people with you."

"No, are you serious?!" Xie Changqing found it utterly absurd. She was just a cousin from a different father and mother. Why would she have to involve the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's only child?

If something happens to my sister-in-law, aren't you afraid my brother will crawl out from underground and come after me?

They've gone mad! Qi Yitang has gone mad! They've all gone mad!

Xie Changqing decided to burn ten incense sticks in front of Xie Ling's spirit tablet, hoping that his elder brother would bring back his disobedient wife!

……

Chaoxuan Villa.

Ning Nishang never expected that she would be kidnapped.

After marrying Lu Linbai, the two of them lived a more comfortable life without the usual morning and evening greetings or conflicts with the mother-in-law. They were even more at ease than before marriage.

Today, thinking about Qi Yitang's impending delivery, I decided to go to the market to pick out some interesting things for her so she wouldn't be bored during her postpartum confinement.

Thinking of Tangtang all alone in the palace, having to hold up the court, Ning Nishang felt sorry for her.

Fate is cruel; their family of four was clearly happy and content, but His Majesty…

Before I could even buy anything, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my neck, and when I opened my eyes, I was in an unfamiliar place.

"Xuan Niang," someone called to her.

Ning Nishang slowly opened her eyes. "Qin Yuanchao, it's you?"

"Why don't you call me Brother Chao anymore?" The man's tone even carried a hint of nostalgic tenderness.

The person sitting by the bed had only one eye left, his face was extremely pale, his cheekbones were so thin they protruded slightly, and his whole aura was gloomy and somber.

Ning Nishang simply couldn't connect him with the Chao-gege she remembered.

The Chao-gege of the past was gentle, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and would lend a helping hand to her without her noticing when she was in trouble.

But the person in front of her only made her feel terrified.

"Brother Chao, what are you doing? Take it out on me... Don't scheme against Tangtang, she's innocent."

Recalling the words "give the things to Qi Yitang" that she vaguely heard, and thinking of how the Emperor was killed by him, the Chao-gege who was once good to her was now the culprit who made Tangtang a widow.

Ning Nishang's heart clenched.

"Is she innocent?"

Qin Yuanchao's skin twitched slightly, as if some violent emotion was surging within him, but he suppressed it.

"Xuan Niang, I did all this to avenge you... Have you forgotten how Qi Yitang treated you before? Pushing you into the water, making you have diarrhea, have you forgotten all of that?"

Ning Nishang: "That's all in the past. She's my sister, and I won't blame her."

"But I can't forget!"

Qin Yuanchao's voice deepened, "I will never forget the crimes these two people committed against the Qin family!"

Even though he recently learned that Qin Zhenxiong was not his biological father, he was still the father who had raised him for many years; his sister died in prison, and his mother and brother contracted illnesses during their exile and died without even a sip of hot water.

The once glorious Qin family is now in ruins; how could he not hate it?

"Xie Ling deserves to die, and Qi Yitang deserves to die too! I will use their blood to avenge my deceased mother—!"

He grasped Ning Nishang's shoulder. "Xuan Niang, now that Xie Ling is dead, once I've killed Qi Yitang, I'll marry you and we'll live a good life together."

His expression was frantic, and Ning Nishang shrank back in fear.

Are you afraid of me?

Qin Yuanchao's eyes darkened. "You're disgusted that I'm blind in one eye?"

Qin Yuanchao's expression softened, and he released her. "Xuan Niang, you are still as kind and beautiful as before, you haven't changed at all..."

Ning Nishang was stunned.

Why...did you become like this?

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Are you hungry? I made your favorite dish."

Ning Nishang wasn't hungry at all and didn't want to eat, but Qin Yuanchao had already placed the chicken soup in front of her.

The chicken soup smelled delicious, but it was oily and greasy, which made her feel nauseous.

"vomit--"

"Do you not want to eat it, or is the chicken not fresh...?" Qin Yuanchao was initially worried, but seeing her reaction, his smile instantly froze on his face.

Instead, a somber atmosphere prevailed. "You're pregnant?"

She is pregnant.

Ning Nishang had a vague idea of ​​what was going on since her period was delayed this month.

I stopped by a clinic on my way out this morning, and the doctor confirmed that I'm pregnant.

She had intended to return to the manor to tell Lu Linbai in person, but before she could, she was tied up and brought here.

"You're pregnant with someone else's child?! Xuan Niang, you're mine! How could you have a child with someone else?!"

Qin Yuanchao raised his voice, his gaze fixed on Ning Nishang's lower abdomen as if it were poisoned, "Get rid of it! I'll have someone make you an abortion pill, this bastard child cannot be kept!"

"No...I'm not pregnant!"

Ning Nishang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly denied it, "Brother Chao, I caught a cold these past few days, and my stomach isn't feeling well, so I can't eat anything greasy. You forgot I'm weak and often get sick..."

"The prince... he's actually not very good in that area, we rarely have sex... the doctor said I might never have my own child in this lifetime." She pursed her lips, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Ning Nishang silently apologized to Lu Linbai.

This is merely a temporary measure and does not damage his reputation.

The gloom on Qin Yuanchao's face suddenly dissipated, replaced by wild joy. "It's alright, Xuanniang! Once my great undertaking is complete, we can have our own children, and I will make you the most honored woman in the world!"

Ning Nishang felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

What does this mean...? Does he not only want to harm Tangtang and Lin Bai, but also plot to usurp the throne?

She looked around; the doors and windows were tightly shut, and the possibility of escape was extremely slim.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside, and Qin Yuanchao's lips curled into a smile.

"It's finally here."

Ning Nishang's face turned pale. At this moment, she wished that Qi Yitang would continue to hate her as before, so that she would not pay any attention to Qin Yuanchao.

She's almost due to give birth, how could she come here!
