Chapter 543: The Best Gift

Huo Hannian looked at the dazed girl in his arms, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a message.

Before Nangong Xiao reached the bedroom door, he carried Wen Ruan into the bathroom.

Wen Ruan was pressed against the door frame by Huo Hannian, and her back hit the doorknob. She groaned in pain.

Huo Han’s skin went numb and he quickly covered her lips.

Nangong Xiao pushed open the door but did not see Wen Ruan in the room. He frowned slightly.” Where is she?””

Just now, he seemed to have heard some noise. Nangong Xiao glanced at the bathroom.

The sound of water splashing could be heard.

Nangong Xiao was just about to walk over when a delicate cry of pain was heard.

Nangong Xiao turned around and saw a slender figure coming out of the guest room. She was wearing a tailored qipao, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She had accidentally fallen onto the aisle.

The moment she raised her head, the look in Siao’s eyes darkened.

The girl looked a little like Wen Ruan, the pure and delicate type. Her figure was a little more plump than Wen Ruan’s. When she saw him looking over, a faint blush appeared on her face.

“Who are you?” Nangong Xiao said in a deep voice.

“I’m Xiao Ruan’s friend and was invited here as a guest. Who are you?”The girl stood up from the ground and blinked her big clear eyes, looking at him innocently and fearlessly.

Nangong Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes gradually darkened as he looked at the girl.

“Men can’t just barge in here. You should leave quickly. Otherwise, if I shout, the guards will take you away and you’ll have to go to jail.”

The girl’s words made Nangong Xiao laugh.

“What are you laughing at? If you don’t leave, I’ll call for help.”

The girl opened her mouth and was about to call for help when Nangong Xiao came over and covered her mouth.

The girl took the opportunity to bite his palm.

Nangong Xiao didn’t blame her, but the smile on his face deepened. He pulled the girl into the guest room. The moment the door was closed, he whispered,” Little wild cat.””

..

When Huo Hannian carried Wen Ruan out of the bathroom, his rationality slowly returned.

When she thought of how she had taken the initiative earlier, her ears turned slightly red.

She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Huo Hannian placed Wen Ruan on the bed and looked at her with his dark eyes.” Now you know how to be shy?””

Wen Ruan raised her slender fingers and covered his eyes.” Don’t look at me like that.””

Huo Hannian grabbed Wen Ruan’s hand and squeezed it.” Nangong Xiao came over earlier.”

Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment before pushing Huo Hannian away.” Leave!”

“Don’t worry, he should be hooked by Liu Sisi now.”

Liu Sisi was the woman that Huo Hannian had found after Wen Ruan and Huo Hannian had discussed the matter.

Wen Ruan was afraid that she would not be able to reach the old king’s birthday banquet. If Nangong Xiao was in the mood and wanted to touch her forcefully, she was afraid that he would be suspicious if she caused another accident.

Therefore, it was best for him to find a new pet during this period.

“You’re saying that Liu Sisi has attracted Nangong Xiao’s attention?”

Huo Hannian had already received Liu Sisi’s message. She hooked Nangong Xiao onto the bed.

“You’re safe for now.”

Wen Ruan gestured at Huo Hannian.” Are you staying tonight?””

“You dare to let me stay?”

Wen Ruan was just teasing him. Seeing that he really wanted to lie on the bed, she quickly pushed him.” Don’t mess around. When I leave here, I’ll let you climb on the bed every day.””

..

Princess Ya was banished to the cold palace, and Nangong Xiao had a new favorite.

In the following month, Wen Ruan lived quite comfortably in the palace.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the King’s birthday banquet.

It was Wen Ruan’s first time attending such a large-scale banquet. She and Princess Li attended together.

The banquet was held in the largest banquet hall in the palace. All the important members of the royal family, celebrities, and nobles were present.

The old king was supported by Nangong Xiao, and the Empress Dowager was by his side.

Princess Li knew about Wen Ruan’s plan. She frowned slightly.” I feel that your plan is a little risky.””

If he wanted to attract the old king’s attention and get close to him, how could he achieve his goal without taking some risks?

“Don’t worry, I won’t implicate you.”

Princess Li looked at Wen Ruan with a complicated expression.” You’ve helped me a lot these past two months. If you’re willing to stay, I can help you fight for favor.””

“Don’t, I never planned to stay.”

As the two of them spoke, a burst of exotic music came from the stage.

Princess Li glanced at the stage and her expression changed slightly.” I was wondering why she hasn’t done anything for the past month. So she’s been waiting here.”

On the stage, there were two exotic women wearing red tulle, twisting their slim and graceful bodies, and their blue eyes were charming.

Wen Ruan asked softly,” Are these the Queen’s men?”

“Who else could it be if not her? This time, he had found a pair of twins. It seemed that he had put in some effort.”

How could he not put in a lot of effort to kill Princess Ya!

However-

Wen Ruan smiled as she looked at Princess Li and whispered something into her ear.

Hearing Wen Ruan’s words, Princess Li’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Don’t talk nonsense. How can it be possible…”

“I’m not lying to you.”

Wen Ruan had just told Princess Li that she was already five weeks pregnant.

Recently, Princess Li’s physical condition had been taken care of by Wen Ruan.

Her body did not show any signs of pregnancy. In addition, her period was not very punctual, so she did not even think about being pregnant.

“If you want the queen’s plan to fail, you can let the King know about your pregnancy later.”

Princess Li was overjoyed.” Wen Ruan, you’re really my lucky star!”

..

After the two exotic women finished their dance, the queen was about to introduce them to Nangong Xiao when she suddenly heard someone vomit.

The queen looked back unhappily. Seeing that it was Princess Li covering her mouth, she frowned and said,” Princess Li, what’s wrong? If you’re not feeling well, you can go back and rest early.””

Princess Li wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief. The moment Nangong Xiao turned around, she retched again.

” My Lord, I didn’t do it on purpose. Recently, I’ve suddenly become drowsy and retching. I don’t know why…”

Nangong Xiao and the Queen’s expressions changed at the same time.

However, Nangong Xiao was pleasantly surprised while the queen was shocked.

Nangong Xiao was not in the mood to care about the beauty on the stage. If Consort Li was pregnant, it would be the best gift for the old king.

After all, Nangong Xiao did not have a son, and the old king did not have a grandson.

“Hurry up and call the doctor over to take a look at Princess Li.”

Nangong Xiao walked in front of her.” Li ‘er, I hope you have good news.””

Princess Li leaned into Nangong Xiao’s embrace. From the corner of her eye, she saw the queen’s face turning purple and her lips curled up slightly.

Nangong Han saw that the Queen’s expression was not right. She came to her side and whispered,” Mommy, Princess Consort Li hasn’t been pregnant for so many years. Perhaps there’s something wrong with her stomach. It might not be that she’s pregnant.””

The Queen glanced at the bracelet on Princess Li’s wrist and nodded.” Yes, it’s impossible for her to be pregnant.”
