Seeing Dugu Wu’s absolute stance, Nalan Yan’er already knew she could no longer salvage the situation. Now, all she had left was her son, and only with her son’s recovery could she hold onto the things she longed for. She had already lost love; she could not afford to lose power as well.
"Whether to agree or not is up to the dical Buddha, I will pass the ssage for you."
As soon as Dugu Wu finished speaking, Nalan Yan’er knelt down.
"Ah Wu, he is your son as well."
Dugu Wu rebuked.
"Have you lost your mind? This is the Imperial Palace. Dongfang Jin has nothing to do with , stop spouting nonsense. Last ti at the Crown Prince Mansion, I have already acknowledged kinship with him through blood."
Dugu Wu believed that Dongfang Jin must have already told Nalan Yan’er about what happened that night at the Crown Prince Mansion.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yan’er was quite dismissive.
"Ah Wu, that was clearly Feng Bailing’s deceit, both you and the Crown Prince were fooled by her. Jinjin truly is your son. My first man was you. Both Jinjin and Xiuxiu are your children, not the Crown Prince’s flesh and blood, I am certain of it. Have you forgotten that night?"
Dugu Wu frowned, this was what puzzled him the most.
Indeed, there was a trace of Gang Qi from him within Nalan Yan’er’s body.
That night he lost control and was not clear about with whom he had beco entangled, but the Gang Qi inside Nalan Yan’er couldn’t be fake.
Dugu Wu’s feelings suddenly beca very complex.
"Ah Wu, even if you don’t acknowledge the child, I only ask that for the sake of the emotions we once shared between us, you must save Jinjin. I beg of you."
Nalan Yan’er kept pleading.
"Just agree to this once, and I will never bother you again from now on."
Faced with Nalan Yan’er’s pitiful appearance, Dugu Wu fell silent for a mont but ultimately did not refuse.
It was at that mont that Dugu Wu’s expression changed abruptly.
"Who?"
Dugu Wu walked towards the corridor; ahead was a cluster of flowers, with dense branches and leaves, and petals scattered on the ground.
When Dugu Wu reached the flowers and fiercely parted them, he saw a bird flapping its wings and flying out.
Dugu Wu’s furrowed brows relaxed, just now he seed to have sensed a faint breath, maybe he was being overly sensitive. Dugu Wu thought of Feng Bailing still in the prison cell, and looking back at Nalan Yan’er behind him, his mood grew increasingly heavy.
This was the last ti his heart softened towards Nalan Yan’er.
It was not just for Dongfang Jin, but even for Feng Bailing, he had to persuade Feng Bailing to ask the dical Buddha to take action.
After Dugu Wu and Nalan Yan’er departed one after another, two figures flashed out from hiding.
The woman covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out, gasping heavily and her eyes wide with terror.
She hesitated and turned to look at the man behind her, his visage making her feel a mont of daze.
"Thank you, Lord Hua."
Mo Qianqian said quietly, breaking out into a cold sweat.
She hadn’t expected that coming to the palace to find an opportunity to et Imperial Consort Dugu, she would stumble upon a secret eting between Dugu Wu and Nalan Yan’er. Moreover, she heard such a huge secret; the twins of Nalan Yan’er were actually Dugu Wu’s offspring.
This was an imnse secret; if it got out, not only Nalan Yan’er but also Dugu Wu would have to die.
Mo Qianqian was shocked and elated, she had unintentionally made a noise and was discovered by Dugu Wu. Just when she thought she was dood, Hua Wushang suddenly appeared and promptly concealed both of them.
At that ti, Dugu Wu was in such turmoil that he did not delve into details.
Lord Hua sized up the woman before him, his gaze carrying a hint of tenderness. Mo Qianqian felt her heart flutter under his scrutiny, for she had noticed this man before.
He was Emperor Yongye’s favorite official, who could freely co and go in the palace, and moreover, a young achiever. Not only that, but his appearance was also strikingly handso, and he was yet unmarried.
Apart from Dugu Wu, Mo Qianqian had never seen such a handso man before, to say nothing of the fact that this man had also saved her life.
A myriad of emotions flurried inside Mo Qianqian’s heart.
"You heard what was said just now."
Lord Hua spoke as exquisitely as his appearance, making Mo Qianqian feel her face flush with embarrassnt, and she nodded vaguely in acknowledgnt.
"Do you realize, you’ve committed a capital offense?"
Lord Hua stated this casually.
Upon hearing these words, Mo Qianqian turned pale and fell to her knees in fright.
"Lord Hua, I heard nothing."
"Stand up, look at how frightened you are."
Lord Hua helped Mo Qianqian to her feet with a smile, his hand warm and strong.
It was uncertain whether it was intentional, but his fingers ever so gently brushed the palm of Mo Qianqian’s hand.
Mo Qianqian trembled all over. She had already been intimate with the Eldest Prince, but she did not like the Crown Prince, and even her interactions with the Eldest Prince were rely perfunctory. The Eldest Prince had never brought her pleasure, body and soul, and as for Dugu Wu, although she harbored unrequited love for him, Dugu Wu had always been indifferent to her.
But Mo Qianqian felt that Lord Hua before her was completely different from the other two. Not only was he gentle, but he had also saved her life, and on top of that, he was wealthy and influential. Could it be that he held her in his regard?
Mo Qianqian lifted her head and t Lord Hua’s eyes, which seed to hold boundless tenderness. Just one look was enough for her to not want to look away...
Feng Bailing sat in the cell, recalling the events of the day as well as those of the past few days.
With the Second Prince’s involvent, she didn’t have to worry about suffering in the cell, but she was particularly concerned about the children at Prince Shun’s Mansion, especially Feng Xiaoli.
That little one had been especially clingy to her these past few days; moreover, having frequently visited the Imperial Palace, Feng Bailing also worried that it would take a toll on her own health.
Sounds from outside the cell reached her, and Feng Bailing looked up to see the cell door opening and a tall figure entering.
The man walked slowly, and as he turned his back to the lamplight to open the door, one could see a trace of fatigue in his expression.
Dugu Wu.
Feng Bailing was taken aback; Dugu Wu, of all people, had actually co to the cell at this hour. Could it an... Feng Bailing’s brow twitched, and she quickly rose to her feet.
"Why have you co?"
Dugu Wu carried a food box in his hands. Its heterochromatic gaze caught sight of several other food boxes in the corner of the cell.
These food boxes, Feng Bailing hadn’t touched at all.
He arched an eyebrow, the tone in Feng Bailing’s voice sowhat estranged. Although they were husband and wife, there was nothing about them that resembled a married couple. When Dugu Wu had entered the cell earlier, the prison guard, upon seeing the food box he carried, murmured.
"Another one bringing a food box."
Feng Wan gave the prison guard a silver, who then inford Dugu Wu that several groups had already delivered food boxes to Princess Consort Wu just that day alone.
Apart from those delivered in person by the Second Prince, Princess Mingxia from Prince Shun’s Mansion, and the Ninth Prince, even the Empress Dowager from the palace had people send a food box.
Heh, Dugu Wu’s Princess Consort was imprisoned, yet other people seed more concerned than her own husband.
