ther is back in the capital.” 。“She was taken aback, “Second brother” Then she thought again, “Oh right, I do have a second brother, Xiao Shūbai and Ye Jǐngshèng’s only son” 。You suspect him So he ju...As soon as she spoke, the Sixth Prince before her burst into laughter. He laughed while also slapping her a few times, causing Ye Hongzhuang to cry out in pain. 。“You’re not Quan Qinglu! Absolutely not!” Ye Hongzhuang became more and more convinced of her own thoughts, “Quan Qinglu wouldn’t hit me, he wouldn’t even think Ye Wenyan is prettier than me! Even if my face is ruined, for the sake of our child, she would still treat me well and listen to me.” 。Who are you Why do you look like him Where did you take Quan Qinglu The last two sentences were almost shouted out, furious enough that the person in front of her beat her up again. 。But it was also strange, no matter how she was beaten, her belly remained unusually firm, not the slightest sign of childbirth. This even caused the Sixth Prince to squat down and lift her tunic to stare at it carefully. 。After a long silence, he said, "Hearing your stomach churning like this, I just don't believe it! Today, I have to try it!"

At his words, Ye Hongzhuang became even more frightened. She gritted her teeth, scrambled up and ran, not caring what she was wearing, straight towards the door.

The result hadn't run a few steps before being caught back, thrown to the ground, and with a foot pressed down on her stomach. 。Night Hongzhuang counted in her heart as she was kicked, again and again. Twenty-eight kicks altogether. The person kicking her finally grew tired and stopped. 。Her stomach was still fine, though it hurt, it wasn't like the kind of pain you feel when you're about to give birth. 。Then the Sixth Prince took a look and frowned. After all this commotion, it still didn't come out. This belly was truly strange. 。He didn't want to waste any more energy, he had had enough for today. He had to leave some room for this woman to breathe, he would come back tomorrow. 。Since moving into this Duke Su's mansion, he was like entering a whole new world. 。It feels so good to go from beating maidservants to now being able to beat the wife of that person. 。For how many years has he been kept hidden like a shadow, not allowed to even step onto the street, let alone be seen by another soul All day long, the only people he sees are his father and a handful of constant attendants and maidservants. 。He had no mother, no relatives. Although his father repeatedly told him that there would be a day he could see them, after so many years of waiting, he had long since lost patience. 。I don't know when it started, but I developed a habit of hitting people. The more I hit, the more pleasure I felt, as if all the suppressed things in my heart could be vented through beating others, so that they wouldn't stay in my heart and gradually drive me insane. 。The father also discovered his hobby, but instead of stopping him, he would even send people over to help him kill when he needed it. 。Now, finally like my father, I can see the sun again, but I walk under another person's name. 。He was so filled with hatred, that he wished to replace every smile with a lash at night. 。If he doesn't hit anyone, his anger won't come out, and he'll have to die. 。Ye Hongzhuang, of course, didn't know any of this. She only knew that suddenly, Quan Qinglu had changed, almost overnight. Everything had changed. 。He became two faces, white one side, night the other. 。But these two sides were not the people she was familiar with, both of them were no longer the Sixth Prince from before. 。She was terrified, her heart pounding. She kept replaying the events in her mind, each time becoming more and more panicked. 。 Then Sixth Highness didn't know when he left. The maidservant Bingle ran in from outside, hugging her elder sister and trembling. 。Ye Hongzhuang knew that Binglan couldn't help it either. It wasn't that she wouldn't protect her master, but every time the Sixth Prince fought, he would clear out the entire house, leaving neither her nor Ye Hongzhuang behind. 。

At this moment, the master and servant were hugging each other and crying. Ye Hongzhuang shivered, sobbing as she asked Binglan: "Is he still Quan Qinglu Everyone says he's changed, for the better. He's become knowledgeable, polite, gentle, and humble, just like a young regent king>>> 。That night at the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, many people were praising him, even some saying that the throne should belong to Sixth Prince. They believed only someone like him was worthy of sitting on it. 。But who knows he's all an act, one thing in front of people, another behind their backs His humility in public is paid for with his outbursts in private. 。Although Qian Qinglu used to have a bad temper, he would never dare treat me like this. He wouldn't even care about the child in my belly; he cares more about the military prestige Ye Jia has accumulated over the years. 。"This person isn't Quan Qinglu, I'm sure of it!" Ice Lan was so scared she reached out to cover her mouth, frantically looking towards the door. Thankfully, it was closed, and she let out a slight sigh of relief. 。"Sis, hold on a little longer, just speak a little louder. What if Sixth Highness hears, he might kill someone." 。"What's the difference between this and killing me" Ye Hongzhuang's eyes were red. "He might as well kill me, at least that would be quicker than this. It's worse than death." 。"Binglan, I ask you, is he really Quan Qinglu"

Binglan is Ye Hongzhuang's close-attendant maidservant. She was sent to the other courtyard in a hurry by Xiao Shi after being released from Qihua Pavilion.

The yehong makeup was taken away by the Sixth Prince, destined never to return. So how could she not send a maidservant over to her daughter to use 。As for having children in the future, it doesn't seem to matter much now, because Sixth Lord's injuries have healed. 。Now that the wound has healed, he can have as many children as he wants. Ye Hongzhuang is the legitimate wife, and even if this one doesn't work out, she can still give birth to another. As long as her position as the legitimate wife is secured, there's nothing to fear. 。But the Xiao family, and everyone else for that matter, never expected that the residence of King Su would become like a human hell. Ye Hongzhuang's days there were truly devilish. 。In the white, windy light of day, everyone revered her as Princess Consort Su. Whether inside the mansion or accompanying His Highness the Sixth Prince, Ye Hongzhuang enjoyed great honor. 。Especially the demeanor displayed by the Sixth Prince, which caused almost half of the inner city's inhabitants to praise him. 。But only Ye Hongzhuang and Binglan were real, everything else was a facade, put on for outsiders to see. 。But she couldn't understand how one person could be so two-faced. How could Bai act like that It was as if there were two people, one red and one black, switching places at night. 。Hearing her elder sister’s repeated questions, Binglan could only answer in a very low voice: "Sister, please don't say such things. He can't be anyone other than the Sixth Prince, right The Sixth Prince has always had a bad temper, and from what I hear, he has many concubines in his household. Some might be favored for a while, but then they could be killed for any mistake." 。This way, there's not much difference from this person now. 。" That's not right, there's a big difference. " 。"Even though the former Quan Qinglu had a bad temper, it wasn't beyond measure." 。He could kill a person, but he would never torture them alive. 。And he doesn't put on airs, he's the same outside as he is at home. 。If he were to scorn me, it wouldn't matter whether it was at home or outside. Scorn is scorn, and he can't fake that kind of marital affection. 。"Now this is different..."

Night Hongzhuang still had something to say, it wasn't that she didn't want to, but she was afraid. As soon as she thought about it, she would feel a chill down her spine.

On New Year's Eve, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince returned to his residence. Perhaps he had been angered at the palace banquet, or maybe he had drunk too much. 。In short, that night he completely ignored her pregnant body and forced her to let him stay in her house. 。At that time, she didn't think anything of it, just assuming that Quan Qinglu's wound had healed and was happy about it. 。But women are very sensitive in some aspects, a good time, from beginning to end, was almost the most terrifying experience she'd had in over ten years. 。Although this man was a good person in this aspect, she had a strong feeling that this person was not Quán Qīnglù. 。She and Quan Qinglu were that kind of relationship. Quan Qinglu was the father of her child in her belly, she knew him too well. 。Especially about this matter, she only had this one man. How could she possibly not know his habits and preferences 。Besides these, what frightened her the most was that this person lacked something that Quan Qinglu always had. 。It's a mole, located on the left buttock, very noticeable. 。But this person did not. The places where a mole should be were smooth and unblemished. She couldn't feel anything no matter how hard she touched them. 。She was almost scared out of her wits, yet she didn't dare to come out. She just stared at him intently, feigning enjoyment, while a tidal wave of emotions surged within her. 。The closer I looked, the less it resembled what it was supposed to be. 。It's not like eyes, it's not like a nose, and it's not like a mouth. 。Although these five senses pieced together can fool everyone's eyes. 。When she looked at him almost touching his face, when she examined each feature separately, it was a completely different appearance. 。 The night rose's makeup was smeared, her whole body trembling, she tightly huddled in Bing Lan's arms. 。She didn't dare tell Iceland about these things because they were too strange, and no one would believe her if she came out with it. 。Even in Iceland, she could easily be deemed insane and her situation reported back to the general's manor. 。She cannot become a pawn of the General's residence. She has endured so much and absolutely cannot give up all her efforts at this crucial moment. 。"Sister, how about we run away! Let's find a way to escape back to the General's Mansion. Grandmother and Second Madam will definitely stand up for you." 。"

Ye Hongzhuang pushed Binglan away, "What nonsense are you talking about I'm the legitimate wife of King Su, and I'm carrying a prince. Why would I run away Besides, don't call me sister, call me Princess Consort"> 。This is the residence of Prince Su, not the mansion of a first-rank general. 。"Since I'm already a married woman, I should behave like one. What do you mean by calling me 'sister' Wouldn't he be pleased if he heard this"

Binglan quickly knelt down and apologized: "It was my fault, slave girl. I will definitely change in the future, please forgive me, Your Highness."

“ Night Red Makeup took a deep breath, and reached out to pull Binglan, "I didn't get angry at you, I just wanted to remind you, we can't do the wrong thing. ” 。No matter what, you must survive in this house. 。On the bright side, at least he only beats me and not other women. He never goes into their rooms except mine. 。The concubines and maids in the backyard didn't even get to see his face. This was completely different from before. 。Although he has been bedridden ever since I married him and hasn't gone to the back courtyard anymore, I know all too well how much he used to frequent it before. 。So, in that way, it's a good thing. 。"

Iceland thought this was getting a beating addiction, could she actually imagine it as good " 。

Such thoughts could only be kept to oneself; they must never be spoken aloud.

But to be beaten like this all the time isn't a solution. So she asked Ye Hongzhuang again, "Does the princess have any other plans Even if we don't run away, we can't just stay in this situation forever. This way, sooner or later, we'll be beaten to death." 。Besides, you're pregnant. We have to think about the future, even if it's not for ourselves, we have to think about our children. 。"

The night-blooming makeup adorned her head, “It’s calculated, I always have to leave myself an escape route, a way to save my life. " 。“

But how to calculate Before she got married, her mother taught her many ways to calculate, almost always reminding her that one must learn to calculate in life. Only by calculating properly can one live a smooth and prosperous life ” 。But now, given this situation, what could she possibly calculate And what could she even calculate Ye Hongzhuang instinctively touched her stomach. After a while, she remembered something. 。She told Binglan, "Tomorrow we still have to go out, right When that time comes, you figure out a way to slip away and return to General's Mansion to see my second brother. Make sure he comes to see me." 。If he doesn't come, you can hear from Quan Qinglu here that I have news about the Third Prince. If he arrives, I will tell him..."ne last time, is this silver I'm asking of her, or the Duke of Ningguo's mansion 。"Sigh, one million taels To say it's lost is to say it's lost Who would believe that" She turned her head and asked th...
