Chapter 1397 Why must I stay by his side?
Hearing Xueying's tone, which showed no regard for Wenren Qichi's life or death, Su Yueyao burst out laughing: "You're quite the good subordinate of your master!"
After speaking, Su Yueyao glanced at Wenren Qichi, who was still retching violently, smiled, and turned to walk towards the courtyard next door.
Xueying watched Su Yueyao leave and gestured for Wenzhu and Yanqing to follow her.
Wenzhu and Yanqing followed obediently.
Xueying walked over to Yexing and Wenren Qichi. Yexing, who was being supported, felt the familiar presence and looked up at Xueying approaching. He was so frightened that his body trembled, and the arm he was supporting Wenren Qichi also trembled.
"Why is Master Nightwalker reacting so strongly?" Blood Shadow asked, frowning with doubt.
Upon hearing Xueying's question, Yexing said excitedly, "...Yes...Wumian can confirm from taking the pulse that there are at least two or three children in the Queen's womb who are her children."
"So how could the master's reaction not be strong?"
"The key is Blood Shadow. The Queen is not only carrying the child of her master, but also the child of other men."
"So the other gentlemen also reacted just now?"
“That’s right. There are four young men in the most secluded courtyard. Wumian said that the more children the Empress has, the stronger their reaction will be.”
"The Queen has so many children in her belly? Does Master have two or three?" Blood Shadow asked in shock.
He had never seen such a fertile woman.
"Yes! Otherwise, why would there be such a big reaction? I remember when the Wen family head's son was pregnant, he only vomited twice and then went about his business."
“Look at our master, he’s practically vomiting to death. If it weren’t for Wumian giving him three hours of relief every day, I’d think it would be a question of whether our master could even make it through.”
After hearing these words, Xueying frowned and subconsciously asked, "Does the Lady dislike the Master? Or does she like him too much, insisting on staying by his side when he is in great distress?"
"This...this...it's hard to say." Ye Xing tried to avoid the question.
"Hard to say? Then tell me properly, hmm? Speak." Blood Shadow looked at Nightwalker and said coldly.
Nightwalker shivered, resigned to his fate...
"This can't be explained in a few words. Let's help Master back to his room first. Master won't last much longer in this state."
Upon hearing this, Xueying reached out and grabbed Wenren Qichi, lifting him up and carrying him to the next room.
Wenren Qichi could barely utter a word; he just kept dry heaving.
"Let's talk as we walk. I need to know everything that has happened recently, as well as the situation at the Queen's residence."
Hearing Xueying's resolute tone, Yexing knew he couldn't escape and resigned himself to his fate, recounting everything that had happened recently. However, the more he spoke, the darker Xueying's face became.
The chill emanating from him grew stronger, and his sharp gaze fell upon Ye Xing; he simply couldn't hold back any longer.
"Where is your brain, Ye Xing? Where is the brain of all of you, Yan Qing?"
"We just wanted our master to successfully marry the female ruler, right? We thought it was better that the patriarch and the others did it that way. The only thing we didn't expect was that the medicine Wumian made would contain fertility-enhancing juice, which caused our master to have..." Ye Xing's words grew softer and softer, too frightened by Xue Ying to say another word.
"Ha! I think the master has become too kind-hearted since entering the Su family, which is why none of you have been punished."
"The patriarch and the others dared to drug the lady. What if the lady refuses to marry you afterward and exposes it? What will you do then?"
"Where are your brains?!"
"I will transfer the men from below. You, Yanqing, and Wenzhu, all of you, go back to be punished. No matter what, we only obey our master and will protect him instead of causing trouble for him behind his back!"
Hearing this, Ye Xing felt as if the sky had fallen. His voice trembled as he said, "Blood Shadow, we knew we were wrong long ago. Pu Langjun and the others in the manor went out on behalf of the Lady to deal with other prefectures. The Master instructed the rest of us to secretly help."
“Our master is having another severe reaction. How about we go back and accept our punishment once he has recovered? Our master is in such a state; he can’t be without us by his side.”
When Xueying heard Yexing's words, he ignored him and looked at Wenren Xichi, who was retching incessantly, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
"Go and see if Wumian has given acupuncture to the other gentlemen. Whether you two were trying to please the lady just now, you didn't follow the rules and should be punished, since we are in the Su residence now."
"What you have done has already made the other gentlemen of the Queen dissatisfied. If the Queen has any more complaints about the Master, how will the Master stay in the mansion for the next few decades!"
“I’ll deal with Wumian later. How dare he torment his master like this.”
“Blood Shadow, we really know we were wrong. We won’t be so reckless in the future. You know Wumian’s personality, and Master always spoils him the most.”
“His acupuncture can only be done once a day, and for no more than three hours. The master has already had it done today. I think there’s a reason why he’s making such a fuss: because the master is getting married, he’s afraid that the master won’t pamper him as much as before.”
"If it weren't for his acupuncture technique, our master would have been vomiting all the time."
After listening, Xueying gritted his teeth and asked, "He has no other way? Isn't he supposed to be a highly skilled doctor? He can't even make the master more comfortable, he's practically useless."
"When he returned, he tested the medicine with the physicians of the Su family. The medicine couldn't solve the problem at all in the early stages. It would only make him feel better if he was a little further away from the lady. But the lady probably won't stay for long. She will move to the side courtyard, which is the courtyard furthest from the lady in the mansion."
"So, the reason why the Lady is living here now is because the Master caused trouble by drugging her, which resulted in other men getting pregnant. The Lady moved in to appease the anger of the others. Now that the other men are pregnant, she probably won't come to stay in the Master's room anymore."
That's right.
Having finally understood the truth, Xueying let out a dejected sigh. Had he known they would turn out this way, he would have insisted on sending Yexing and the others on this business trip no matter what.
Now it has become like this.
Meanwhile, the side courtyard was also quite lively.
Yang Qianxun and the others in the courtyard were all covering their mouths and dry heaving.
"Ugh... ugh..."
"Ugh... I feel so awful..." Cheng Yan was the first to blurt it out.
"Ugh... I had to endure the ugh... and... ugh... for a month... ugh... it was unbearable..." Huan Yanxi said haltingly.
"I... ugh... I want to... kill... ugh... Wenren... I feel terrible... ugh..." Cheng Yan covered her mouth, feeling like she was about to vomit to death.
He had seen that the young master was in a bad mood, but he didn't expect it to be this bad; he felt like he wanted to vomit his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and lungs.
