Chapter 169 Mother, don’t you want Yi’er anymore?
The princess looked at Baili Moqing beside her. She said to him in a very soft voice, "Child, I will naturally return it to you. But Moqing, you should know what I want, right?"
These words made Shu He's face turn gloomy and cold. Even at this point, she still wanted to use her child to threaten Baili Moqing!
Could it be that she doesn't even want her own reputation anymore?
Baili Moqing looked back at her, his indifferent eyes concealing coldness and dissatisfaction, "Aunt, why do you want to involve a child in our affairs?"
The eldest princess's lips curled slightly, "It can't be helped. After all, that child is someone you cherish."
After she finished speaking, the smile on her face instantly disappeared, and there was a bit more resentment in her eyes as she looked at Baili Moqing, "You should also have a taste of what it feels like to not be able to see the person you cherish!"
Shu He was completely confused. She didn't understand why the princess said that.
Was it Baili Moqing who separated her from the person she cherished, so she came to snatch Xiao Yier away and take revenge on Baili Moqing?
Baili Moqing's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and his voice was a little weak. "Aunt, let me explain this matter later. Can you return the child to He Shu first?"
Sheaf of wheat?
Zhaoming's eyes turned slightly, as if he was a little surprised. Are they so close?
That child...
impossible!
She had someone investigate the identity of that child. The child had only recently appeared next to Baili Moqing, so it couldn't be his child!
Could it be that he fell in love with that woman, so he cared so much about the child?
But, how could he... a married woman?
Shu He frowned. Seeing the princess staring at him unkindly, he couldn't help but ask, "Princess, are you still not going to return my child to me?"
Such a disrespectful attitude made the eldest princess's brows reveal a bit of sternness, and her face was also clearly unhappy.
Seeing this, Liu Xi quickly rebuked, "Who are you? How dare you speak to the princess like that!"
Shu He glanced at Liu Xi. She had met him once before, in the northern suburbs camp. At that time, he had tried to erase Baili Moqing's achievements and attribute them to Nangong Xin.
She was too lazy to waste time talking to such a fool. She looked directly at the eldest princess, her voice clearly threatening, "If the eldest princess still refuses to hand over the child, then I will let the people outside see the truth!"
The implication is: If you don’t return the child to me, I will let the people know that the person behind the “child snatching” incident is you, Princess Zhaoming!
However, the eldest princess didn't care at all and even chuckled.
"Doctor He is so naive! I haven't seen such a naive person in a long time!"
Shu He frowned, "What do you mean, Princess?"
"The child has been in this mansion for a day. A lot of things could have happened in this day. For example, falling into a well, or accidentally drowning..."
Shu He, Baili Moqing, and behind him, Zhen Li and Zhang Zhiyi, all had drastic changes in their expressions. They all looked at the towering yet incomparably elegant woman with complicated eyes.
They simply couldn't believe that the eldest princess would resort to such low-brow tactics! And the target was a child!
Shu He's reaction was the most intense. Her eyes were sinister, filled with rage, and her aura suddenly surged. A cold aura, centered around her, radiated fiercely in all directions, a chilling wind swirling through the courtyard, carrying an endless stream of murderous intent.
"What did you say?!"
She looked at the graceful and elegant woman, and a cold voice as if pulled out from hell sounded, making people's hair stand on end, and she went straight to the eldest princess.
Princess Zhaoming had also seen the world, her status destined her to be dignified and composed. But she had never been particularly afraid, but at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a certain... fear towards that woman?
The guards were instantly alert and stood in front of the princess at the same time, drawing their swords and pointing them directly at Shu He.
When the people outside saw this scene, they were all horrified and confused. They didn't know what had happened in the courtyard and why the atmosphere became tense again?
Baili Moqing's eyes were dark. He knew that woman a little. Threatening Xiao Yi'er's life was undoubtedly challenging her bottom line!
He quickly said: "Aunt, I promise you!"
He knew that this woman would go crazy for the sake of the child! And if she really went crazy, no one would be able to stop her!
The princess, seemingly calm, concealed a hint of nervousness upon hearing this. She pinched her sleeves and inconspicuously wiped away the sweat from her palms.
The look in the woman's eyes clearly made her feel a chill and terror from hell.
She lowered her eyes, leaned back against the armchair, and tried to appear relaxed and casual.
"Come here," she said, and with a flick of her wide sleeves, the guards retreated. "Go and bring the child here."
After hearing this, Shu He's murderous intent began to dissipate.
However, when she looked at the princess again, there was no longer any politeness in her eyes. "Princess, I hope my child is not harmed at all! Otherwise, I don't know what I would do!"
"How dare you!" Liu Xi shouted again, "How dare you disrespect the princess? Do you want to die?"
"Cough cough cough" Baili Moqing coughed lightly, his pale face showing displeasure. He said lightly, "Eunuch Liu, do you know that those who want to live a long life should avoid talking too much!"
Although these words sounded light and airy, they were filled with murderous intent and threats that made Liu Xi's heart jump. His face was filled with fear, trepidation, and a sense of grievance.
With a thud, he knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, I just can't stand seeing people disrespecting the princess! Please, please don't scare me!"
Upon seeing this, Zhen Li instantly drew his long sword from Zhang Zhiyi's waist and placed it on Liu Xi's neck. "The master is speaking, and you, a servant, dare to interrupt!!"
Liu Xi was so frightened by the long sword that his eyes widened and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He cried out in shock and begged for mercy, "General Zhenli, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, your servant, will not dare to do it again!"
He trembled as he looked at the eldest princess, wanting to ask her to say something for him.
After all, he interrupted to protect the eldest princess.
However, he was disappointed. The princess didn't even glance at him. Her face was gloomy, and she was obviously unhappy.
Liu Xi was panicked and felt even more frightened.
This shows that the eldest princess also thinks he is useless!
"Mother!!"
At this moment, a crisp and soft voice came with great surprise.
Hearing this voice, Shu He's body trembled and tears instantly burst out of her eyes.
"Yier!"
She rushed towards the little figure in the pink skirt and hugged it in her arms.
Xiao Yier's face was also covered with tears. The fear and panic of a day and a night completely broke out at this moment.
The unique milky voice and crying tone of a young child makes people tremble with fear.
"Mother, where have you been? Don't you want Yi'er anymore? Woo woo~"
"Why did you take so long to come see Yi'er?"
The soft and sticky crying sounded one after another, as if someone was pricking Shu He's heart with needles.
"How could mother not want Yi'er? Mother will never abandon Yi'er!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I came too late. It's my fault that I failed to protect you..."
Shu He held the child in her arms, her maternal tenderness evident, seemingly having nothing to do with the cold and hard man who looked like a messenger from hell.
"Mom, Yi'er misses you so much! Please don't leave again, okay?"
"Okay, okay, from now on, mother won't go anywhere..."
The small arms tightly wrapped around Shu He's neck, using all their strength to hold the person in front of them. They were afraid that if they let go, this would become a dream again...
Baili Moqing watched this scene, his eyes flickering, and he felt very uncomfortable. His heart also ached with the child's crying.
