Chen Xuping heard the courtyard doors being thrown open. A sea of lanterns swarmed in, illuminating the small courtyard and making it as bright as day.

If he were to hesitate a moment longer, he would get Chen Qiyu into trouble too. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and climbed into her bed.

After he lay down, Chen Qiyu sat down on her bed as well and adjusted the covers to hide him beneath them.

My lady has already gone to bed, so youd better keep your voices down and not disturb her. Shes now pregnant, and the Crown Prince very much. Meiers voice was raised and sounded a little cross as if she was unhappy about the guards intrusion.

The guards were naturally aware that Chen Qiyu was pregnant with the Crown Princes heir. If they had another choice, they would not have barged in either.

Miss Meier, were just acting on orders. The a.s.sa.s.sin stabbed Lady Lu just now, and if we fail to seize him, well be in trouble when the Crown Prince gets back. Please understand and let us pa.s.s. Once we make sure that the a.s.sa.s.sins not here, well leave right away.

What are you saying? Are you suggesting that were harboring that a.s.sa.s.sin? You just want to bully my lady now that the Crown Prince is not around. Meiers voice grew shrill.

The guard immediately said apologetically, Dont be angry, Miss Meier. Our people are searching the other courtyards too; were not targeting yours in any way. We just want to stop the a.s.sa.s.sin from escaping, and were also worried that hed hurt Beauty Chen if hed somehow snuck in here.

Meier still looked furious, but her tone had softened. Fine, you can do your search, but you must be quiet and not disturb my lady. She already has a hard enough time falling asleep at night now that shes pregnant.

Relieved to hear this, the guards wasted no time and started searching all the wing rooms.

Some time later, they stood outside the main house and said to Meier uncomfortably, Weve searched all the rooms except for this one. Could you

Meier stared at them in disbelief. This is the main house where my lady lives, and youre asking if you can search inside?

Im just worried about Beauty Chens safety. Please step aside, Miss Meier. The guards had no choice either. However, Miss Hong Xiu had informed them just now that the a.s.sa.s.sin was Chen Xuping, a criminal on the courts most wanted list.

He and Beauty Chen were siblings.

Meier laughed coldly at his evasive reply. In your dreams. How could I allow you to barge into my ladys room? If word gets out, her reputation will be tarnished. Besides, if you upset my lady, can you bear the consequences? Dont forget that shes carrying a royal heir in her womb.

The guard broke out in a cold sweat, and he tried to negotiate with her. Miss Meier, we promise that well leave right after taking just one look, and we promise that we wont upset Beauty Chen.

Meier was about to retort when Chen Qiyus voice came from inside the house. Meier, theyre just acting on orders. Since they want to search the place, just let them in so that everyone can be at ease.

The guards were overjoyed to hear this. Thank you for understanding, Beauty Chen.

Meier had no choice but to move aside.

Once she did that, the guards poured into the main house.

The moment they opened the doors, they spotted a graceful figure behind the folding screen.

They had seen Beauty Chen before during their usual s.h.i.+fts in the Eastern Palace, and although they did not dare to stare at her insolently, they were still well aware of her charm.

Among all the beauties in the Eastern Palace, Beauty Chen was the most favored, aside from Lady Lu.

Moreover, when it came to the frequency of sleeping with the Crown Prince, Beauty Chen probably surpa.s.sed Lady Lu by a comfortable margin.
