Xiao Yin looked up at Nangong Zhao.

"You should know better than me what you're doing. Personal feelings will only hold you back," Nangong Zhao said succinctly, reminding Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin understood Nangong Zhao's meaning.

Xiao Yin didn't say anything.

Just then, He Jiu suddenly rushed over to find Xiao Yin, his face serious.

Seeing this, Nangong Zhao said directly, "You two talk."

Xiao Yin nodded in acknowledgment, but did not linger at Consort De's place, as it was ultimately inconvenient.

He Jiu followed Xiao Yin back into the house, and only then did Xiao Yin look at He Jiu.

"What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?" Xiao Yin asked He Jiu, frowning.

He Jiu was usually mature and rarely panicked like this.

A sense of unease rose in Xiao Yin's heart.

"General, I've brought someone with me. I think it's better if he tells you some things in person." He Jiu's words were very serious.

Xiao Yin remained calm.

However, Xiao Yin's expression completely changed after He Jiu brought the person in.

Xiao Yin recognized him; he was a doctor from a pharmacy in the western suburbs of the capital.

Shen Yinshuang had been there before.

But Xiao Yin quickly calmed down.

He has weathered many storms and will not easily panic.

"This humble subject, Li Meng, greets the General." Li Meng knelt before Xiao Yin, trembling all over.

He Jiu's quiet voice came through: "Tell the general what happened yourself!"

Xiao Yin didn't say a word throughout the entire process.

But the hand behind his back gradually clenched into a fist.

Li Meng didn't dare to hesitate and quickly told them everything.

"General, I truly know Miss Shen's identity. If I knew she was your..." Li Meng's voice trailed off, probably afraid of being overheard.

However, Li Meng's gaze toward Xiao Yin became increasingly cautious and serious.

The unease that had been weighing on Xiao Yin's heart grew stronger and stronger.

His thin lips moved slightly.

But this time, before Xiao Yin could even speak, Li Meng had already finished speaking quickly.

"Previously, whenever Miss Shen felt unwell, she would consult me. Later, on one occasion, Miss Shen asked for abortion pills, and I didn't ask any further questions."

Li Meng dared not conceal anything when recalling what had happened before.

"But not long after, Miss Shen came alone. She was pregnant, about a month along at that time. But she asked me not to tell anyone. I am a doctor, so naturally I couldn't speak carelessly about a young lady's affairs. Besides, I was familiar with Miss Shen, so I didn't mention it again."

Li Meng continued speaking, but Xiao Yin's expression grew increasingly grim.

Li Meng's heart was beating faster and faster, filled with fear and unease.

I have a feeling that I'm going to lose my head.

"You said she was already more than a month pregnant at that time?" After a long while, Xiao Yin questioned Li Meng word by word.

Every word seemed to be pressed deep in Xiao Yin's throat, his expression extremely gloomy.

"Yes." Li Meng nodded.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Xiao Yin approached step by step.

He stopped in front of Li Meng, looking down at him with obvious sharpness in his eyes.

"I've been practicing medicine for decades, it's impossible for me to misdiagnose a pregnancy pulse," Li Meng said confidently.

Xiao Yin remained silent for a long time.

He stood there with his fists clenched, and Li Meng didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Xiao Yin's eyes reddened as he looked at Li Meng and asked, "But didn't she take abortion pills before? Why is the child still here?"

Li Meng did not hesitate: "Reporting to the General, there are only two possibilities: either Miss Shen did not take the medicine, or she vomited it all up later. If she did take it, the child would definitely not be here. When Miss Shen came to me for a consultation, her pulse was weak, so she must have been affected. It's just that the child was lucky and survived in the end."

Xiao Yin's expression had completely changed.

Because Xiao Yin knew better than anyone else.

He watched Shen Yingshuang drink the medicine before leaving.

Because Xiao Yin knew that Shen Yinshuang could not have children.

Having children harmed her.

It wasn't that Xiao Yin was unwilling.

He just didn't expect that Shen Yinshuang would vomit later.

To everyone's surprise, the child ended up staying.

But what made Xiao Yin even more nervous was not these things.

But he knew perfectly well that Shen Yinshuang's baby was gone.

He destroyed it himself.

In Xiao Yin's mind, Shen Yinshuang's appearance from that time appeared again and again.

She knelt down, crying and begging herself.

She said the child was his and begged him to let her go.

How could he have believed it back then?

Add to that the various things involving Shen Yinshuang and Pei Shouan.

Whether it was jealousy or obsession, Xiao Yin ultimately dealt an extremely cruel blow to Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang bled profusely.

The child eventually passed away.

They were destined to meet but not to be together.

These thoughts made Xiao Yin's eyes redder and redder, and his tense emotions became more and more obvious.

"How many times has she come to see you?" Xiao Yin asked Li Meng after a long pause.

"Miss Shen cares a lot about this child, I can tell. Whenever there's any disturbance, Miss Shen will come. But she always comes alone, without any maidservants by her side," Li Meng said without hiding anything.

Li Meng was unaware that Shen Yinshuang had miscarried.

He simply told Xiao Yin the truth about what he knew.

Xiao Yin did not calm down because of Li Meng's words.

The crimson color under his eyes became increasingly noticeable.

"I will not allow this matter to be spread by word of mouth. If I find out that you have spread it, I will tear you to pieces!" Xiao Yin warned Li Meng, his jaw clenched.

"This humble subject would absolutely not dare to utter a single word about it," Li Meng replied.

Xiao Yin didn't say anything more.

He Jiu stepped forward and led Li Meng out.

This is, after all, Kaiyuan Temple, and outsiders can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

He Jiu led his men out.

As soon as the person left, a loud noise was heard coming from inside.

Xiao Yin smashed everything he could.

He Jiu was terrified, but dared not go in again.

When Nangong Zhao turned back, his brows were furrowed, and he walked towards the side room without looking back.

He was afraid something bad would happen.

As soon as Nangong Zhao entered the room, he saw Xiao Yin rushing out with red eyes.

"Xiao Yin, where are you going!" Nangong Zhao grabbed Xiao Yin without thinking.

He saw He Jiu leave with the doctor and probably guessed what had happened.

Xiao Yin did not respond.

But he forcefully shook off Nangong Zhao.

Nangong Zhao didn't mind: "I know you're going to see her. Don't forget, she was just brought to Consort De's place today. Nobody can figure out Consort De's intentions, so everyone's watching. If you go rashly, you'll expose yourself to everyone. Do you think the people in the Prime Minister's residence won't suspect you're up to something? In that case, not only her, but Consort De will also be implicated. How will you handle that?"

Nangong Zhao's words gradually calmed Xiao Yin down.

"Besides, the Emperor is still looking for you, where can you go?" Nangong Zhao calmly finished speaking, "But at least she's with Consort De right now, so there shouldn't be any major trouble for her, and you don't need to worry too much."
