Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

Chapter 431: Acupuncture Point

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Yu Niaoniao returned home, it was already afternoon.

She was so tired that she didn’t even bother to take off her clothes. She fell into bed and fell asleep.

She slept soundly.

When she woke up, the house was dark. She called Chun Feng and Ye Yu in and asked what time it was.

Chun Feng replied truthfully, “It’s already midnight.”

Yu Niaoniao rubbed her eyes. It was already so late!

Chun Feng helped her out of bed, and Ye Yu found clothes for her.

Yu Niaoniao yawned. “Is His Highness back?”

Chun Feng pursed his lips and smiled. “He was back long ago. He even came to see you, but you were still asleep at that time. You didn’t know.”

Only then did Yu Niaoniao realize that she was wearing a coat before she fell asleep. Why did her coat disappear after she slept?

She asked Chun Feng and Ye Yu if they had changed them.

Chun Feng and Ye Yu shook their heads and said no.

Yu Niaoniao touched her chin. Could it be that Xiao Juan had helped her take off her coat?

She wanted to ask Xiao Juan, but her stomach was rumbling with hunger. It was more important to fill her stomach first.

Yu Niaoniao touched her stomach. “Is there anything to eat?”

Ye Yu immediately said, “Dinner has been hot on the stove. I’ll bring it over for you now.”

After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Niaoniao ran to the study to look for Xiao

Juan.

Xiao Juan was still awake. When he saw her, his expression was still indifferent.

“Are you awake?”

Yu Niaoniao leaned over and asked with a smile, “I heard from Chun Feng and

Ye Yu that you visited me tonight and even undressed me?”

Xiao Juan frowned slightly. When he went to see her, he saw that she had not even taken off her coat when she slept.

He felt she could be uncomfortable sleeping in her outerwear, so he helped her take it off.

This was originally a small matter. Why did it sound like something else when it came from Yu Niaoniao?

However, this matter was not easy to explain.

In order to avoid making things worse, Xiao Juan simply denied it. “I didn’t take off your clothes.”

Yu Niaoniao looked at him wide-eyed.

“You’re still not admitting it?”

Xiao Juan said, “I didn’t do it. Why should I admit it?”

From the looks of it, he was planning to deny it.

However, Yu Niaoniao had no choice. Who asked her to have no evidence?

She snorted. “If not you, then a puppy undressed me.”

Xiao Juan, who had been forced to become a dog, was speechless.

He forcefully changed the subject.

“You came to me specifically to talk about this?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Of course, there’s something else. Isn’t Princess Ni Yang’s birthday coming up? What kind of congratulatory gift should I prepare for her? I don’t know Princess Ni Yang very well. Give me some advice.”

When she said the last sentence, she dragged out her tone slightly, as if she was wheedling.

Xiao Juan could not deal with her wheedling. He instinctively turned his head away, afraid to look at her again.

“She likes delicacies in the Hua Residence. There is still a lot of jewelry and satin rewarded by the emperor in the storeroom. Pick some of the fresher styles and wrap them up before sending them over.”

Yu Niaoniao sensed his avoidance.

She deliberately leaned closer. “Wouldn’t it seem too perfunctory to just give these? Do you want to prepare some other antiques, calligraphy, and paintings?”

Xiao Juan immediately took two steps to the side and distanced himself from her.

“There’s no need. She doesn’t like those. Besides, she doesn’t lack such things. We just have to be polite.”

Yu Niaoniao blinked. “Why have you been avoiding me?”

Xiao Juan quickly denied it. “No.”

Yu Niaoniao leaned over again and asked with a naughty smile, “Really?”

Xiao Juan suddenly reached out and tapped her acupoints.

Yu Niaoniao immediately could not move.

She glared at the man in front of her with wide eyes in silent accusation.

The bastard actually did this to her again!

Xiao Juan picked her up and strode out of the study.

He walked through the corridor and into the bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

However, Yu Niaoniao was not sleepy at all. She glared at Xiao Juan angrily.

Xiao Juan sighed softly, his voice like a murmur.

“Since you don’t like me, don’t provoke me again.”

Yu Niaoniao wanted to refute him. It was not that she did not like him. But she was still lit up and could not say a word. She could only stare.

“Rest well. The acupuncture points will be unlocked in an hour.”

After saying this, Xiao Juan turned around and left.

Yu Niaoniao could only lie on the bed and look up at the sky speechlessly.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She could not let this matter go!

The next day, Yu Niaoniao especially woke up early.

She ran to Lo Pingsha for advice.

“Your medical skills are so superb. You should know your acupuncture points very well, right?”

Lo Pingsha was puzzled. “Why are you asking?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I have a friend. She’s often tapped on her acupoints. Every time she’s tapped, she can’t move. She’s very distressed about this, so she asked me to ask you if there’s any way to remove her acupoints on her own.”

Lo Pingsha was surprised. “Are you often tapped? Who did it?”

Yu Niaoniao emphasized guiltily.

“It’s my friend, not me!”

Lo Pingsha did not expose her. “Alright, it’s actually very simple to unseal your acupoints yourself.”

Yu Niaoniao pricked up her ears. “How?”

“As long as your internal energy is stronger than the other party’s, you can break through your acupoints with your internal energy alone.”

Yu Niaoniao was immediately disappointed.

“If my internal energy were stronger than his, I wouldn’t have to ask you.” Lo Pingsha immediately pressed, “Didn’t you say that person was your friend?”

Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

Oh no! She had accidentally let it slip.

Yu Niaoniao decided to forget about that part and forcefully changed the topic.

“Is there any other way?”

Lo Pingsha shook his head. “No.”

Yu Niaoniao refused to give up. “If I practice martial arts from now on, how long will it take me to catch up to my opponent?”

“That depends on how strong your opponent is.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “He’s probably as strong as Duke Lang.”

Lo Pingsha immediately became excited and said angrily, “Prince Lang actually tapped your acupoint? Why did he do this to you?” Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

Why did his brain react so quickly to such a thing?!

Yu Niaoniao tried her best to maintain the last layer of privacy.

“Not Duke Lang. I’m just using him as a reference.”

Lo Pingsha spoke righteously.

“Stop covering for Duke Lang. There are only zero and countless domestic violence. If you keep enduring it, he will only become worse in the future. Please be brave and tell us what happened. We’ll help you!”

Yu Niaoniao explained weakly, “It’s not what you think..

Lo Pingsha was indignant. “Princess Consort, don’t be afraid. I’ll go to Duke Lang now and ask him to give you an explanation. How can a man attack his wife?!”

Seeing that he was really going to look for Xiao Juan, Yu Niaoniao had no choice but, to tell the truth.

“I was the one who wanted to do something bad to him. He wasn’t willing, so he attacked me.”

Lo Pingsha said nothing..
