One hundred and four harm joy severe

  Since learning that she was pregnant, Bai Xinzhu was treated like a national treasure and was pampered by the people around her, who were overjoyed yet worried as they attended to her every need with utmost care.

  The princess's pregnancy is a joyful thing for everyone, but vomiting non-stop day and night is undoubtedly testing the mental endurance of everyone. Every time Bai Xin starts to feel morning sickness, it's the most worrying moment for everyone, fearing that her unstoppable vomiting will cause her to miscarry the unborn child.

  Especially Mei Jiao and Mei Yu, the two were young and had never seen such a scene before. Every time Bai Xin made a move, they would frantically search for help in a flurry of activity.

  Xue Ying was undoubtedly the best rescue for the two sisters. No matter how violently Bai Xiner vomited, she remained calm and composed, calmly helping Bai Xiner to catch her breath, calmly giving her water to rinse her mouth, and calmly wiping the corners of her mouth.

  Yan Mo reduced the time he spent on official duties in the palace and almost every time after retiring from court, he would rush home eagerly.

  Perhaps Zhang Yuanyi shouldn't have mentioned the word "miscarriage", now he's worried every day that something unexpected might happen to a certain woman at home.

  Daily morning sickness made Bai Xin afraid to eat, because she would vomit everything she ate. But there were people who managed her strictly, although they agreed that she should eat less, they would definitely force her to eat.

  After a few days, Bai Xindye was so exhausted by herself that she was speechless. Looking at the anxious eyes around her, which were even more tense than hers, the complaints that came to her mouth would be swallowed back silently.

  It had been several days since she last stepped out of her room, and on this day, Yan Mo took her to the study. It was a way for her to get some fresh air outside her room.

  As for men's petty household chores, Bai Xinzhu couldn't help but complain as soon as he entered the study:

  "I've never seen anyone like you, this door is locked, what's the difference between this room and the house?" The bedroom and study were only separated by a long corridor, and both were under the same roof, which was just as ridiculous as taking tofu for shark fin.

  Yan Mo pressed her lips together and didn't speak, her gaze falling on the memorial in her hand with feigned intent, as if she hadn't heard her complaints at all.

  He also knew she was hardworking, but he didn't dare to slack off even a bit. It wasn't easy for her to get pregnant, and if anything unexpected happened, who would he go cry to?

  Sitting beside him, seeing that he was ignoring her, Bai Xinzhen pouted and began to read a folk version of "Journey to the West".

  Two days ago, she was afraid of being bored, so she asked him to find some books for her to read. Unexpectedly, he really went to find them, and they were all written by folk figures from the past era. Although the whole article was in traditional characters, and there were even some words that she didn't recognize, with a versatile talent who was good at both literature and martial arts by her side, she would humbly ask for instruction on unfamiliar words at any time. Starting to read this kind of book from yesterday, unexpectedly, after one day, she suddenly found it very interesting.

  It killed time and was also a learning experience, although it was a bit dull, but it enriched life.

  Although it's a bit challenging to read and understand, the story in the book is still quite fascinating. Just like this "Journey to the West" she's holding, after reading it, she can gain insight into people's worship and reverence for gods, ghosts and monsters in ancient times.

  Bai Xin was not superstitious, but because she had experienced this kind of thing herself, she also developed some curiosity about certain things in her heart. So for the books that Yan Mo gave her to find, she almost read every one with great interest.

  The room is quiet and beautiful.

  The man occasionally looked up and glanced at the woman beside him. Seeing her serious and focused expression, he slightly hooked his lips and continued with his own business.

  "Your Highness, Duke Fengde has arrived. He says he's here to offer his congratulations." The door, Yin Du's voice suddenly came, interrupting the serious and quiet atmosphere between the two people in the room.

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng merely raised his head slightly before continuing to stare at what was in his hand.

  I put down my brush and stopped writing, putting aside the draft of the memorial I had just finished reviewing. Then, in a calm tone, I called out to those outside the palace gate:

  "Let him in."

  Before long, Xia Lixun swaggered into the study.

  As soon as he entered the door, Bai Xinzhen couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.

  Unfortunately, the man dressed in luxurious attire did not notice anything unusual about her and seemed to be genuinely offering congratulations. As soon as he came in, he smiled and said: "Master Wang is truly blessed with good fortune. It's been less than half a year since your wedding and already there's joyful news. How wonderful!"

  If an ordinary person said something like this, Yan Mo and Bai Xinzhen wouldn't think much of it. But when these words came out of the mouth of the person in front of them, who was piling on a fake smile, both husband and wife furrowed their brows at the same time.

  Bai Xin was so angry that she almost wanted to spit at him. This man obviously came to provoke her! He spoke as if Mo Yu's family was very incompetent in that aspect.

  Yan Mo gave a faint smile, "Prince Feng De doesn't need to be envious, there's still a month's time. Prince Feng De will marry three wives at the same time, and it won't take long for good news to come out one after another."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixun suddenly felt a surge of anger for some reason. He dared to guarantee that this man was intentionally provoking him, knowing he couldn't touch those women, and deliberately humiliating him!

  He raised his chin and smiled complacently: "That's natural."

  At this moment, Bai Xinzhi suddenly put down what was in his hand and wanted to get up.

  Yan Mo quickly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and looked at her with a hint of tension: "What's wrong?"

  Bai Xin furrowed his brow and touched his own neck.

  Since a certain man arrived, she had been feeling somewhat unwell in her stomach. The reason was that the peppermint scent on that man's body was too strong, which made her suddenly sensitive sense of smell more and more unbearable.

  She really wants to vomit now! But this is a study room, she thinks she should still go outside to vomit some more.

  Seeing her like this, Yan Mo reacted and quickly got up, holding her hand and walking out.

  Just as she was passing by Sharie, Bai Xinchuan felt that the smell had become even more intense, so intense that she could no longer bear it.

  "Ugh——" He bent down, opened his mouth and started vomiting.

  "...?!" A sudden puddle of filth by his feet left Xia Lixuan stunned, his handsome face instantly turning green.

  "Ugh——" Bai Xinzhen continued.

  These days she is particularly sensitive to smells, as long as there is a pungent smell, she will react. Not to mention such a strong peppermint smell, and it's right in front of her, even if she wants to control herself, she can't.

  Yan Mo followed her, bending down to gently pat her back, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the corners of her mouth. His handsome face was tense with concern for the woman, and he didn't even notice the owner of the feet next to the filth.

  As soon as Baitai's heart calmed down a bit, he hastily picked up the person and hurriedly walked out.

  In the study, a puddle of filth was clearly visible, and in the air, there was still a pungent smell of decay. A man sat stupidly in an armchair, his eyes wide with shock, as if he had seen a ghost...

  As soon as she returned to her bedroom and breathed in the clean air inside, Bai Xinzhi felt much more at ease.

  It's worth noting that since she had a reaction, the sandalwood incense in the room has been removed, not even a single flower branch is left, and the room needs to be ventilated all day long. This shows how sensitive she is to odors. In her own words, her nose has become abnormal, and she can smell who hasn't taken a bath and react accordingly.

  Xue Ying had long prepared some clean water. Seeing that she had finally calmed down, he handed her the water to rinse her mouth.

  After all the trouble, Bai Xinzhen was like he had been drained of energy and lay on the bed without wanting to move.

  "Is it better?" Even though she had calmed down, Yan Mo's tightly furrowed eyebrows didn't relax in the slightest, and he anxiously stroked her chest to help her catch her breath.

  "I won't go to the study anymore, you go instead. Let Blood Shadow help me bring the books to my room, I'll just stay in my room." Bai Xindye said weakly.

  Yan Mo helped her tidy up the quilt, nodded: "Okay, you rest in the room first, I'll go send him away and come back to accompany you."

  At the moment he turned around, Yan Mo's face suddenly became cold and gloomy, and he walked out of the room with big strides. From then on, anyone who came to the Wang Fu with a foul smell would be thrown out by him personally!

  ……

  Qingluan Mountain, nestled between mountains and water, is shrouded in mist all year round, a famous paradise on earth of the Shu Xia Kingdom.

  Especially the ancient temple Feilong Temple on Qingluan Mountain, it is also called the divine temple by the people of Shu Xia State. It is said that as long as you make a wish at Feilong Temple, there will be no unfulfilled wishes.

  Xian Mountain and Shentemple make Qingluan Mountain even more mysterious. In everyone's heart, this is a sacred and inviolable place.

  On the path to Feilong Temple, a woman carried a pole with water towards the backyard of Feilong Temple. The dozens of kilograms of water did not make the woman feel tired, but the scorching sun made her forehead sweat profusely.

  She poured the fetched water into the vat in the backyard, and the woman was about to go fetch again. At this time, a nun with wide waist and sleeves, round collar and square scarf came over and stopped her.

  "Miss Liu, take a rest for a while?"

  The girl turned around, revealing a few white teeth and two dimples, and smiled: "Master Hui Ming, I'm not tired. Tomorrow I want to go down the mountain for a trip, today I want to carry more water."

  The nun named Huiming joined her palms together and said sincerely and warmly, "Amitabha. Miss Liu is now pregnant, the Buddha is compassionate, how can I bear to see you labor?"

  Upon hearing this, the woman lowered her head and the smile on her face suddenly turned gloomy. She admitted that she didn't want this child!

  She just wants to make herself tired and miserable, so that this child can't bear to leave her!

  Ming Hui's clear eyes looked at her, suddenly saying: "Liu Niang, let me say more, the heart is aware of the ability to make connections, its realm is what it connects with, and the action of the heart moving towards the realm is called connection. Since you have a connection as mother and son, it's your gain, and you should cherish it as following the connection. If you go against the good connection and act, it will eventually become a bad connection, I hope you think thrice. Amitabha!"

  "Mm." The woman's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and after a brief moment, she bit her lower lip and nodded slightly.

  Watching her master leave, Liu Xue Lan stood in the courtyard, tears streaming down her face.

  She never thought she would have such a day. The child came suddenly, like a nightmare, making her want to die.

  She came here just to get away from everything, to escape some people. She believed that as long as she was given time, she would definitely forget those unpleasant memories. If possible, she even wanted to stay in this quiet place for a lifetime, listening to the sound of Sanskrit every day, and letting her restless heart calm down completely.

  Here for a month, she was calm, calmer than ever before.

  But her expected peace and tranquility were shattered by the child in her belly...

  Having lost her virginity before marriage and being forced into it is already enough to make her unwelcome in society, now with this child, how can she face the future?

  Feilong Temple is no longer possible for her to stay.

  But the world is so big, where should she go?

  The more days she spent here, the less she wanted to return to the place where she used to live, for it was filled with memories of her past, and those were the very things she least wanted to possess.

  ……

  A bustling street, a woman wearing coarse linen clothes, after quickly scanning the surroundings with the corner of her eye, swiftly entered a pharmacy.

  "Miss, are you here for medicine?" The shopkeeper, seeing a potential customer, hastily greeted her with enthusiasm.

  "According to this prescription, give me two pieces of medicine." The woman took out a yellowed paper from her bosom and handed it over.

  The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, raised his head in surprise, and asked tentatively: "Miss, one dose of the abortion medicine is enough, why do you want to buy more?"

  The girl's eyelids twitched, and she lowered her head without making a sound. Who knows if it will be effective? I thought she was willing to buy more! But it's not that she wants to buy more, but rather she's afraid of not being able to get rid of them after buying, so she just wanted to buy one more pack.

  Perhaps it was because he had never seen anything like this before, so the shopkeeper couldn't help but take another look at her. As he looked at her seriously, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed across his eyes.

  But soon he collected those inappropriate expressions and smiled with a normal expression: "Miss, please wait for a moment, I'll go get the medicine for you."

  A shop assistant beside him wanted to come forward to help, but the hand that stretched out was suddenly slapped away by the boss without leaving any trace. The boss gave a wink at the shop assistant and immediately walked towards the medicine cabinet.

  The woman left the pharmacy with two packets of medicine and disappeared into the crowd.

  In the pharmacy, the shopkeeper saw people leave and hurriedly beckoned to Xia Er, instructing seriously: "Hurry up and inform Master Wang that someone has been spotted!"

  Recently, the Wangfu of Fengde went door-to-door searching for someone with a portrait attached. It's said that whoever provides clues will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver. He must not have mistaken her; the woman just now is indeed the person in the painting...

  ……

  Seeing Tong Yanyu and I appear together in the room, the four old ladies dressed in palace attire were shocked.

  After accepting the respectful kowtows of the four old women, she hastily made eye contact with Blood Shadow.

  "Blood Shadow, prepare a room for the four madams and take them down to rest."

  Several old ladies came with the imperial edict, originally thinking of showing off their special skills in front of Bai Xinxin, so that they could be accepted and liked by their new master as soon as possible. Who knew that as soon as they arrived, they were driven away, and they all felt a little unhappy.

  Seeing several people wanting to speak but hesitating, Yan Mo's expression turned cold and he said in a low voice: "The queen prefers quietness, there is no need to talk too much in front of her. If there is anything that needs to be explained, you can come directly to me."

  The four old ladies immediately blushed and hurriedly bowed their heads in greeting before retreating.

  After everyone left, Bai Xinzhi suddenly pounded the bed board: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

  Young and beautiful women can't be squeezed in, while old ones have to squeeze several. Is being an emperor very idle?

  He stepped forward, grasped her hands directly and held them firmly in place, not letting her move. Looking at her furious expression, he let out a sigh before speaking softly: "It was agreed upon by your husband."

  Bai Xin looked at him disapprovingly: "So many came all of a sudden, aren't you tired of it?"

  He pursed his thin lips. It was not habitual, but for her sake, he had to get used to it. The emperor said that although it was a bit too much to ask of him, it was also for their own good. So this time he did not refuse.

  He didn't say a word when he saw him. Bai Xin's face turned pale and she frowned, directly giving him an order: "Choose one with a more gentle temperament, send the others back!"

  Perhaps it was because she had watched too many TV dramas, but whenever she thought about those eunuchs being old foxes, she got a headache. Among the people who lived in the deep palace for a long time, how many were truly kind-hearted?

  And also sent her four more. Even if the emperor was kind-hearted, she couldn't make herself feel at ease accepting it. After all, the emperor was someone who made her uneasy.

  If she really wants to find someone with rich experience to serve herself, it's easy to hire one from an ordinary family. There are women who have given birth to children everywhere, and she doesn't want to make a fuss, making her feel awkward and uncomfortable all over.

  Afraid that she would get angry over a few maids, Yan Mo had no choice but to agree with her. "Alright, I'll personally go and pick one out in a moment, the rest will be sent back."

  Rubbing her belly, Bai Xinzhen looked up and let out a long sigh. Her pregnancy had just begun...

  He didn't like seeing her sighing, so Yan Mo carefully picked her up and put her on his lap, lifting his hand to tidy up the slightly disheveled hair behind her head with his slender fingers.

  Looking at his careful and meticulous appearance, Bai Xintong couldn't help but give him a white eye. "Look at you now, like an old granny, aren't you afraid others will laugh at you?"

  "Do you think being ridiculed as a husband is still not enough?" He raised her chin, his eyes filled with amusement and teasing.

  Bai Xin burst out laughing. Pretty self-aware!

  She wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her face in his shoulder and nudged him gently, her voice laced with a hint of guilt: "Don't think I'm too fragile either, I've never been a delicate flower since childhood, it's just pregnancy, I won't feel miserable, at most I'll just feel a bit suffocated. You're like this, sometimes looking at you makes me feel quite uncomfortable, always feeling like I'm really a useless person. What if you spoil me rotten, what then?"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo picked up her small face that had fallen onto his shoulder and glared at her with some displeasure: "Every day you have nothing better to do than indulge in wild fancies, but has anyone ever gossiped about you in front of me?"

  Bai Xin shook her head and didn't dare look at him: "I just spoke out of emotion, that's all. Don't you think you're being unfair to me like this?"

  He had to serve her personally, although since they got married he often helped her with many things, but this time just because she was pregnant, he almost quit his job to be a full-time husband.

  Fortunately, everyone in the yard was their own person, otherwise, she didn't know what kind of rubbish she would be rumored to be again.

  Yan Mo raised an eyebrow, lifted her head, and pressed his lips against hers. After a brief entanglement of their lips, he calmed down, but couldn't help whispering in her ear, "For the sake of the child, you vomit so many times every day, don't you feel wronged?"

  Bai Xin shook her head. "I am willing to spit for him!"

  Yan Mo gave a faint smile: "That husband is also willing to serve his wife wholeheartedly."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xing suddenly burst out laughing while hugging his neck tightly.

  The couple was laughing and being sweet in their room when Yin Du's tactless voice sounded from outside the door.

  "Sir, I have an important matter to report."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's expression turned cold in an instant.

  "Say."

  Outside the door, Yin Du touched his own neck to show his innocence after hearing a cold word from his father. If there was nothing important, he wouldn't come to be disliked by others!

  "Grandfather, according to the scout's report, King Fengde has found out Miss Liu's whereabouts and is now leading a group of people to Qingyuan Mountain."

  Upon hearing this sudden news, Bai Xinzhi was shocked and hastily said towards the door: "Yin Du, come in."

  Yin Du pushed open the door and walked in. Although the bed was covered with a canopy, he didn't dare to look around randomly, but instead lowered his head and waited for questioning.

  "However, it's certain that the person is at Qing Luan Mountain?"

  "Yes, King Pongdeok has already taken people over."

  Bai Xin struggled to get up, but was quickly held back by Yan Mo's swift hands.

  "You're not allowed to go anywhere, just stay home and behave!" The man ordered coldly.

  It's rare to see him speak to her in such a domineering tone, Bai Xincheng furrowed his brow and wanted to discuss with him: "We have to go take a look anyway, Xue Lian has been missing for over a month, it's not easy to find her, if we don't go take a look, I won't be at ease either."

  He made a decision for her without even thinking about it.

  "Yin Du, quickly go to the Governor's Mansion and inform Lord Liu about Miss Liu's whereabouts."

  "What's wrong with you?" Bai Xin asked in surprise.

  He turned back to look at her: "She is after all a member of the Liu family, Lord Liu has the right to know her whereabouts, do you want her to hide from people for the rest of her life?"

  “……” Bai Xin's face turned pale and she fell silent. Yes, Snow Lan couldn't hide like this forever. The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it, and while Emperor Feng De was the main culprit behind Snow Lan's current departure, the person she feared and felt most ashamed to see was Lord Liu.

  Her problem can only be solved by facing it seriously, and only Prince Gongde and Master Liu, these two men, can help her untie the knot in her heart.

  On the other hand, at the Admiral's Mansion, Liu Boyu received the news sent by the Cheng Wangfu and was both shocked and delighted. He didn't even have time to greet his family members before setting off with a few trusted subordinates on horseback towards Qingluan Mountain without stopping.

  Returning from the market to Feilong Temple, Liu Xuelan carried the package she had packed early and went to the Zen room to bid farewell to Master Huiming.

  Half an hour later, she walked out of the Zen room calmly, but at the moment she left the Zen room, tears could no longer be held back and rolled down her cheeks. Her feet seemed to be stuck with a thousand-pound stone, making every step seem so difficult.

  She didn't become a nun, but she lived here for more than a month, and it was the most fulfilling period of her life.

  Every day, she followed other nuns to meditate and chant scriptures, together with them to receive the devout men and women who came to burn incense, helping them chop firewood and carry water. Although life was simple and bitter, her heart became more and more steady and calm...

  She didn't know why Master Hui Ming refused to accept her as a disciple until now when she was about to leave, and Master Hui Ming still hadn't told her the reason.

  This is a sacred place, from the moment she decided to give up the child in her belly, she was no longer qualified to stay here... The biggest taboo of Buddhism is killing life, and what can't be tolerated is also killing life. However, this mother wants to kill the flesh and blood in her own abdomen with her own hands. If she stays, she will only pollute this pure land.

  This burden of guilt and debt, she is destined to carry for a lifetime...

  She was not strong enough to face the future, to face the gossip and rumors of being an unmarried mother. Her biggest dream in life was not to follow her mother's path, but reality cruelly told her that she not only repeated her mother's journey, but even walked a more shameful road.

  She didn't have the courage to watch her child come into this world, and even less did she want to see her own child end up like her in the future - wandering the streets, homeless... So, she forced herself to be a ruthless and cruel mother.

  Back mountain

  This is the place where Liu Xuelan comes most often in months.

  Standing on the high mountain top, all of Qingyun Mountain is in sight. In the distance, mountains are layered and overlapping, with clouds and mist surrounding them, making the valleys and peaks hidden, beautiful like a fairyland, making people can only watch from afar but cannot reach.

  Feilong Temple

  When hundreds of men in black clothes entered the Feilong Temple, their cold and ruthless appearance suddenly scared away the incense guests who came to worship and pray, as well as the nuns in the temple.

  Especially the leading man, jade crown brocade robe, all over the body with a rich and noble aura, just by looking at his identity and status is extraordinary, handsome and extraordinary face exuding a cold and proud temperament, narrow eyes scanning the surroundings with an attitude that is nothing but arrogant and aloof. The tall figure in a delicate and elegant brocade robe exudes an air of nobility and majesty that is born with him. Just this one person, standing in front of the Buddhist hall, clearly does not match the peaceful and serene atmosphere all around.

  On special days, Feilong Temple was not lacking in wealthy incense guests, but the one in front of him, who exuded an air of nobility and arrogance from head to toe, had never been seen before.

  The temple is a place of serenity and tranquility, everyone knows that. However, all the pilgrims who come here are devout and well-behaved, fearing to offend the gods in heaven.

  But they had never met anyone who came with a large entourage and such an intimidating aura.

  "Amitabha Buddha, sir, may I ask if you are here to offer incense or make a wish?" A nun who was sitting at the foot of the Buddha statue stood up and greeted the proud man with her hands clasped together.

  Generally speaking, incense guests who come to the temple are those who come to donate incense money, while those who make wishes are people who come to pray for blessings or draw lots.

  After scanning the surroundings with a cold eye, Xia Lixun finally looked at the nun who took the initiative to greet him with a slanted corner of his eyes.

  "Where is Liu Xuelan?" He asked directly and coldly, without a hint of politeness.

  The nun slightly paused, her hands clasped together as she calmly replied: "Amitabha Buddha, since the donor has come to ask about someone, please follow me to the back hall and wait for a moment. I will ask and then respond to the donor."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze impatient: "Hurry up and hand that woman over to me!"

  "The nun continued to speak gently: 'Donor, I don't know who you are looking for. Please calm down and let me ask carefully before I can help you find him.'"

  "Come! Search for me!" Seemingly too lazy to speak with the nun, Xia Lixun directly raised his hand and commanded the black-clad man behind him.

  He himself had a gloomy face and walked towards the back hall with a big stride, carrying an aura of annoyance.

  This dead woman actually dares to become a nun!

  The moment he thought of that woman with a shaved head, he felt a severe heartache, purely infuriated.

  Does she think becoming a nun will allow her to avoid him?

  She's dreaming!

  The nun heard his words and immediately raised her head, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at the large group of black-clad men who stormed into the Buddhist hall. Seeing that the situation was not optimistic, she hastily instructed a nearby nun: "Quickly go inform Master Hui Ming!"

  Nearly a hundred black-clad men quickly dispersed to various corners of Feilong Temple, including the Buddhist hall and backyard, even the nuns' dormitory was not spared. For a moment, the appearance of many men and their cold faces frightened the female monks to the extreme, with the braver ones slightly calmer, while the timid ones were so scared that they screamed and cried out loud on the spot.

  Master Hui Ming was meditating in the Zen room when he heard the news and was about to go out to take a look. Suddenly, the door of the Zen room was kicked open by someone. The leading man was dressed in luxurious attire, but his face and aura were extremely unpleasant. The door of the Zen room was instantly blocked by a group of men in black clothes.

  "Amitabha, may I ask what brings you to disturb the monks of Feilong Temple in their cultivation?" Master Huiming asked in a soft voice, one hand manipulating his Buddhist beads and the other held upright.

  "What about Liu Xuelan? Where have you hidden her? Hurry up and hand her over to me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!" Seemingly displeased with the other's calm demeanor despite being on the brink of death, Xia Lixun's face turned cold as he threatened in a low voice.

  He searched the entire Feilong Temple, but still couldn't find any trace of that woman. This made him, who was already short-tempered, even more impatient. His deep black eyes rolled with scarlet anger, as if he wanted to tear this place apart.

  The situation outside had already been heard by Hui Ming, and in front of her, the man's ferocity was added to by a group of black-clad men surrounding them, she knew that the other party was not joking with her.

  It's rare to see someone so unreasonable and violent. Huiming closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and chanted: "Amitabha! Amitabha!"

  Xia Lixun was just about to rush forward and throw out this old nun who still wanted to pretend to be dignified when he was suddenly pulled back by his subordinates.

  "Your Highness, Miss Liu might not be here after all. Why don't we go somewhere else to look for her?" Luo Ming suggested with a hint of persuasion. Mainly because this was a temple, and if the commotion caused by Your Highness were to spread back to the capital, it would likely have an unfavorable impact.

  Xia Lixun turned his head and gave him a cold look, with a face full of unwillingness. He had finally managed to get someone to follow that woman, and she had indeed come here.

  The most important thing is that the woman went to the pharmacy and bought an abortion drug!

  He admitted that when he heard the news, he was shocked and overjoyed. Even though he couldn't be certain whether it was the woman who was pregnant, the news made him restless, and no one could understand how eager he was to see her.

  Those two abortion pills explained everything, he was very clear in his heart.

  That damned woman, how can she be so heartless?

  If she really is pregnant, then it's his flesh and blood!

  Just thinking about it made his heart ache all over, so he had to find her, and find her as soon as possible...

  But where did he go?!!

  His scarlet eyes glared at Hui Ming fiercely, he rolled up his sleeves in anger and was about to leave with a flick of his sleeve.

  "Amitabha, although I don't know if the Miss Liu that the donor is looking for is the same person as the Miss Liu I know, she has already left Feilong Temple today. Please don't get angry, donor, and let's keep Feilong Temple peaceful, this is a great virtue." Hui Ming's voice came from behind them.

  Just as Xia Lixuan was about to step out the door, he suddenly spun around, quickly taking a few steps forward, his handsome face cold and stern as he asked: "Is she pregnant?"

  Huiming lowered her head and said: "Amitabha, Liu Niang has been pregnant for more than two months."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixun's hands clenched tightly and he suddenly turned around and rushed out of the Zen room.

  "Your Highness! Your Highness——" Luo Ming followed closely behind, calling out as the black-clad men quickly caught up.

  They came from the main road, and had carefully searched all along the way, but they hadn't seen the person they were looking for. Now, they could only search along the various small paths of Feilong Temple.

  Behind the mountain

  Xiu Snow Lan quietly withdrew her gaze after sitting for an entire afternoon and was just about to get up and head down the mountain.

  Suddenly a familiar roar came through ——

  Liu Xuelan!

  She was startled and turned around, looking back in disbelief.

  The man at the forefront strode towards her with a fierce aura, his face twisted in an expression she could sense even without looking.

  "Stay back!" The surge of excitement and alarm in her heart made her involuntarily let out a low growl.

  The woman was right in front of him, Xia Lixun's hands were clenched tightly all the time, but seeing the woman's feet land on the edge of the cliff, he was so frightened that he stopped dead in his tracks and didn't dare to move forward.

  His pupils were narrowed tightly, and at this moment he felt that his heart was almost about to stop beating.

  The two of them stood there, separated by a distance, staring at each other with shock and fear in their eyes.

  Liu Xuelan was afraid of being caught by him.

  Xia Lixuan was afraid of strong-willed women suddenly jumping off cliffs.

  For a moment, the air around them seemed to solidify along with their stiff silence.

  The man's gaze was fixed tightly on the woman, as if blinking would make her disappear. Even from a distance, he could see clearly that she had lost weight, her originally round face now having a pointed chin, and the coarse clothes hanging loosely on her frame, making her look like she had shrunk by a large margin.

  The disgust in her eyes was still so obvious, compared to the last time she saw him, with an added sense of hatred.

  My heart is inexplicably aching, throbbing with pain...

  The woman's gaze was also fixed tightly on him, her eyes flashing with hatred as she clenched her fists, not daring to relax in the slightest.

  Why is this man still haunting her? Doesn't he know that she's at a dead end today all because of him?

  How can he still show his face after doing something like that to her?

  Is it true that she has to die before he will stop pestering her and she can stop enduring all the humiliation and injustice?

  "Lan Er - no -" A hoarse voice suddenly came, interrupting the gaze of the two.

  Liu Xue Lan was even more shocked and looked back, only to see Liu Bo Yu rushing towards her with a terrified and tense face.

  "Get back!" she shouted in a similar voice, but as she saw the scene of Liu Boyu's appearance, tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes.

  "Xue Lan!" Liu Boyu stopped in his tracks, clearly seeing Xue Lan's 'predicament' as well. He was so frightened that his old face turned white, and he looked at her with a terrified gaze, urging, "Xue Lan, don't be rash, if there's anything you can't think through, just tell your father, I'll take care of it for you, you mustn't act impulsively."

  Tears burst forth, and Liu Xue Lan felt the tight string in her heart was about to snap. She couldn't bear to see these two men appear at the same time.

  "Go! All of you go! I don't want to see any of you..." She squatted down, hugging her knees and bursting into silent sobs.

  Seeing this, Xia Lihuan's whole body was tense, but he didn't dare to move forward rashly.

  And Liu Boyu also secretly raised her voice, fearing that this impulsive daughter would rush towards her back without regard for anything. This Qingyuan Mountain is a deep abyss of ten thousand feet!

  "Lan'er, Dad is here to take you home. Don't cry anymore. Come with Dad and I won't scold you again. Don't think about doing anything stupid, okay?"

  Shaking her head, Liu Xuelan cried so hard that she was heartbroken. She also wanted to go back, although there were many people in that home whom she disliked. But after all... it was still her home. However, now... she had no face to return again.

  She went back and would only be ridiculed by others, and even Lao Liu's face would be lost because of her.

  "Lan'er, why don't you come back with Dad? Dad promises that from now on, you can do whatever you want, and Dad will never scold you or force you again."

  "Dad..." For the first time, Liu Xue Lan formally called out to him.

  This low cry made Liu Boyu suddenly stunned, that one cry of "Dad" he had been longing for a long time, but it sounded so bitter and helpless, making his old eyes suddenly well up with sourness. Although he didn't know what exactly happened to his daughter, he knew it must be related to the man beside him.

  "Xiao Lan, your father is here. Why don't you come back with me? If there's anything wrong, I'll help you solve it." He spoke softly and patiently, his hoarse voice no longer having the usual sternness, and at this moment, he had a kind and gentle face.

  This was also the first time Liu Xue Lan had heard Liu Bo Yu speak to her in such a warm tone, and she couldn't help but be moved. The tightly wound string in her heart finally broke, and the helpless sobbing that escaped from her mouth was filled with resentment.

  "It can't be returned... It will never be returned..."

  "Listen, Lian'er, whatever it is, just tell your father and I'll take care of it for you."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Xue Lan lifted her head, her big eyes were red and swollen from being soaked in tears, looking at Liu Bo Yu's tense and worried face, the pain in her heart seemed to intensify.

  "Dad... I'm pregnant... I don't want to live anymore... You go back... I don't want you to be ashamed of me..."
