Chapter 290 Little Yan'er... ran away
This time, Yao Ruoyu didn't pull her hand away; instead, she gripped it tighter and smiled reassuringly at him.
"Nothing? How can nothing be? Look how pale you are! Where's the imperial physician? Get him here!"
Ye Wumian shouted out the second half of his sentence, which startled several imperial physicians outside, who hurriedly ran into the room, trembling.
Xuan Yuan walked in at this moment and was somewhat surprised by the state of the room. When did Ye Wumian become so affectionate towards a woman?
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine's abdominal pain came on strangely. I, along with several imperial physicians, examined her pulse for a long time, but there was nothing seriously wrong. The baby in her womb is also fine. It seems that she has been overworked recently, and I heard that she sat for a long time playing the zither today. Her body can't take it. She needs to rest in bed more these days."
The imperial physician was sweating profusely. There was clearly nothing wrong with Consort Yao's health, but the king's temperament was so unpredictable that he had no choice but to risk his life and pin the blame on the king's decision to make her play the zither, so that no one could be held responsible.
"Playing the piano?"
Sleepless Night cursed under his breath, his face full of regret.
"Ruoyu, I'm sorry, I won't force you to do anything anymore, and I won't make you play the konghou. Just rest well and get your body strong."
The apology that came out of his mouth stunned Yao Ruoyu for a moment. How could someone as proud and noble as him easily bow his head and admit his mistake?
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. I don't deserve such praise. As long as my child is alright, that's all that matters."
"Well then, you don't need to go back to the Palace of Mourning Music. Just rest here. I will..."
Ye Wumian's remaining words suddenly caught in his throat. The next moment, he looked up blankly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Ruo...Ruoyu, what did you just say?"
"The child is alright."
"No."
Yao Ruoyu paused for a moment, then understood, and a smile spread across her cool and aloof eyes, like the gentle murmur of spring water.
"Your Majesty."
Sleepless night, his mind buzzing, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt like a young boy, nervously speechless for a long time after his beloved confessed her feelings for the first time.
"Ruo...Ruoyu, you...you..."
He swallowed hard, snapped out of his daze, and his gaze grew even more intense, causing him to tighten his grip on his hands.
"Ruoyu, are you really willing to accept me?"
Yao Ruoyu smiled and gently stroked the unruly eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, you will treat Ruoyu's child as your own, won't you?"
Ye Wumian was completely captivated by her tender gaze. Xiao Yan'er was right; as long as there is sincerity, even the deepest ice will eventually melt away.
He nodded hastily, "Yes, your child is my child. If it's a boy, I'll make him the crown prince; if it's a girl, then she..."
Suddenly, a soft, cuddly little figure appeared in his mind. He had never seen a little girl before. If Ruoyu had a daughter, a daughter as delicate as Ruoyu...
"Your Majesty?"
Yao Ruoyu was startled. How could this be? How could the bloodline of the Yelan Dynasty be violated?
Sleepless Night thought and thought, and he changed his mind. He said excitedly and firmly, "Ruoyu, give birth to a daughter, a daughter like you. I will cherish her as a treasure."
Yao Ruoyu found his excited expression amusing. "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, if only you could grant my request."
"Tell me, whatever you say, I will agree to it."
"Sleepless night."
At that moment, he was only focused on holding the woman in his arms and was completely unaware of the piercing gaze behind him.
Yao Ruoyu composed herself, stared into his eyes and said earnestly, "My late husband died young, which was unfaithful. I know that all men in the world are like this. Therefore, I have no intention of remarrying. If Your Majesty treats me sincerely, can you promise that from now on, only I will accompany you, and no one else will come?"
These words were spoken by Yan'er to her, and they also reflected her own thoughts.
Without a second thought, Ye Wumian nodded in agreement. "I promise you, you are the only one in my life. All those other women were just things I used to annoy you. Ruoyu, I met you many years ago, but you were still young then."
These words surprised Yao Ruoyu greatly. She truly had no recollection of it, but the King was actually...
"...sleepless nights."
"Ruoyu, I'm so happy."
This was the first time in so many years that he had been so happy. Today, at this very moment, he had a younger brother and the woman he loved...
"Kings!"
Yao Ruoyu suddenly exclaimed and pushed Ye Wumian back, using her own body to shield him from the sword.
Seeing this loving scene, Xuan Yuan was furious. This guy was enjoying himself so much, but what about Yan'er? His Yan'er was nowhere to be found…
"Ye Yuan, what are you doing? Put down the sword quickly, don't scare Ruo Yu."
Ye Wumian hurriedly moved the sword aside and hid Yao Ruoyu behind him.
Where is Yan'er?
His voice was chillingly cold. He looked around but couldn't find Yan'er anywhere. However, he had just seen her. There were three sets of tableware and three wine cups on the table. Apart from the woman in front of him, the only person who could sit and drink with Ye Wumian was Yan'er.
"Yan'er?"
Night Sleepless then belatedly realized that he hadn't seen Xiao Yan'er since he entered the house.
"Ruoyu, where is Xiaoyan?"
Meeting that blank look, Yao Ruoyu forced herself to shake her head, "I suddenly had a stomachache just now, and Yan'er... Yan'er went out to look for someone and hasn't returned yet."
Thinking of her clever and mischievous nature, Ye Wumian had the answer in his heart.
"Little Yan'er... ran away."
"bass!"
The sword was pressed against Ye Wumian's neck in the next second. "Ye Wumian, tell me clearly, where exactly are you keeping Yan'er?"
"Your Majesty, how did you get so badly injured? How dare you break into the palace at night and attempt to assassinate Your Majesty?"
Yao Ruoyu then noticed the scar on his neck. The cold glint in his eyes made her very worried, until Ye Wumian gave her a reassuring look.
"Alright, calm down. Since Xiao Yan'er is in the palace, she can't have gone far. I'll send someone to find her."
"You're not lying to me? Yan'er really wasn't locked up by you?"
Ye Wumian's lips twitched. "Unlike you, I don't keep my word. Once Xiao Yan'er is found, you must at least change Xuan Yuan back to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, I will never let you leave the palace."
"Xuan Yuan? You...you are Yan'er's husband?"
Yao Ruoyu's eyes widened. Yan'er's husband had indeed come looking for her. Their looks and temperament were indeed a perfect match, but Yan'er...
Meanwhile, Xin Moyan was struggling to climb the tree. She walked along the Imperial River for a full half hour, almost breaking her legs. She finally found the low wall that Yao Ruoyu had mentioned, but looking at that two-meter-high "low wall," she felt utterly hopeless. Fortunately, there was a big tree nearby. If she jumped off the tree, she would at most break her leg.
Halfway up the wall, I heard a rustling sound coming from the corner...
