Chen Xuping heard that the courtyard door had been opened, and many firelights rushed in, illuminating the small courtyard as bright as day.
At this time, if he hesitated any longer, Chen Qiyu would be in trouble, so he gritted his teeth and got on the bed.
After he lay down, Chen Qiyu also sat on the couch and pulled the quilt up, hiding Chen Xuping inside.
"My beauty has gone to bed. Please keep your voice down and don't disturb the beauty. She is pregnant now and the prince loves her very much." Mei'er's voice was loud and a little angry, as if she was dissatisfied with the intrusion of the guards.
Those guards naturally knew that Chen Qiyu was pregnant with the prince's heir, and they would not have barged in if they had no other choice.
"Miss Mei'er, we are also acting under orders. The assassin stabbed Lu Liangyuan today. If the assassin is not found, it will be difficult for us to explain to the prince when he comes back. Please forgive me and make it easier for me, Miss Mei'er." As long as we are sure that the assassin has not been here, we will exit immediately."
"What are you talking about? Could it be that we are still harboring assassins? I think you are bullying our beauty when the prince is away." Mei'er's voice became sharp.
The guard immediately apologized, "Don't be angry, Miss Mei'er. People have also searched other courtyards, not just yours. We just don't want the assassin to escape, and we are also worried if the assassin really breaks in." If you come into the courtyard, you might hurt the beauty."
Mei'er was still angry, but her tone had softened, "Okay, okay, you can search if you want, but you must keep your voice down and don't disturb the beauty. Now that the beauty is pregnant, it's hard to fall asleep at night."
When the guards heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and led people to search the various rooms.
Not long after, the guards stood outside the main room and said awkwardly to Meier: "We have searched everything, but this room, look..."
Meier stared at him in disbelief, "This is the main house, where our beauties live. You still want to enter and search?"
"Aren't I worried about the beauty's safety? Please get out of the way, Miss Mei'er." The guard was also helpless, but just now the girl in red sleeves said that the assassin who broke in was Chen Xuping, a prisoner of the imperial court.
He and Chen Meiren are brothers and sisters.
Seeing his evasive words, Meier sneered: "Stop dreaming. How could you let you break into the beauty's house at will? If word spreads, will the beauty's reputation be lost? Moreover, if I am shocked because of you, Can you bear this beauty? She is pregnant with a royal heir."
The guards were sweating coldly, and they discussed it: "Miss Mei'er, we promise that we will withdraw after just one look, and we promise that we will never shock the beauty."
Mei'er was about to say something more when Chen Qiyu's voice came from the room, "Meier, they are also following orders. Since they want to search, just let them in, and everyone will feel at ease."
When the guards heard this, they were overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Beauty Chen, for your consideration."
Meier had no choice but to retreat.
Upon seeing this, the guards rushed towards the main room.
As soon as the door opened, the guards saw the graceful figure behind the screen.
They worked as errands in the East Palace and had seen Beauty Chen on weekdays. Although they did not dare to look at her recklessly, they still knew her charm.
Among the many beauties in the East Palace, besides Lu Liangyuan, the most favored one is Beauty Chen.
As for the number of visits to bed, Chen Meiren is probably more likely than Lu Liangyuan.
