At this moment, Xu Lipeng looked at Yu Qingmeng without the pity he used to have. Today's scene was right in front of him, as if the headscarf on her head was all green, and it was all green, a feeling that everyone knew.
"Prince, even if you don't miss me, you have to think about our child." Seeing Xu Lipeng had a gloomy face and didn't speak, Yu Qingmeng hugged his legs and cried again, and reached out to touch her lower abdomen gently.
"What did you say?" There was so much information in these words that Xu Lipeng was shocked and said sternly with his eyes wide open.
"Child, we are pregnant. I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you asked me to go back by myself. Later I saw a doctor. Fortunately, everything is fine, otherwise... otherwise the baby would be gone." Yu Qingmeng cried, pressing her hands on her flat belly. Now even she herself believed that there was a baby here.
"You...how come you have a child?" After being stunned for a moment, Xu Lipeng's face turned ashen with anger.
"Prince, our child, really, is our child." Yu Qingmeng supported his legs to stand up, and said tenderly, reaching out to take his hand and pressing it on her abdomen, "Feel it, it's our child, Prince, when we have a child in the future, he will definitely be filial to you and adore you."
Yu Qingmeng said with tenderness.
Xu Lipeng's hands trembled for a moment, then froze. How could there be a child at this time? How did this child come
"Prince, don't worry. I won't compete with Qu Moying for anything. For the sake of this child, as long as the child has a better background, I don't care about the rest. You can still marry Qu Moying." Yu Qingmeng became more and more gentle, her eyes were red and pitiful, and her face was full of pleading.
Whenever she talked about Xu Lipeng's marriage in the past, she was full of reluctance, and her words always meant that Xu Lipeng should cancel the engagement as soon as possible so that he could marry her.
Now, for the sake of the child in her belly, she has been pushing back again and again, and she has not even asked Xu Lipeng to cancel the engagement, only asking for a good status for the child.
Such words were completely different from her usual behavior, and Xu Lipeng's heart couldn't help but relax and soften.
"Why did you go there today?" Xu Lipeng asked. This was a thorn in his heart.
"It was Qu Moying. It was Qu Moying who asked me to go there. She told me... about what happened between you and her. Then I went there. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it!" Yu Qingmeng burst into tears. She lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, tears streaming from her palms. She looked even more pitiful.
"So vicious!" Xu Lipeng gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
I didn't expect this blind girl to be so vicious.
"You... Prince, don't blame her. It's all my fault. I was the one who coveted you. I was wrong. I ignored the fact that you were already engaged. It's all my fault. If this is her punishment for me now, I accept it. In the future, I will submit to her..." Yu Qingmeng cried aggrievedly.
Tears fell down in strings, and I was so sad that I couldn't control myself, and I cried as if I was choking.
Xu Lipeng showed a trace of pity and annoyance on his face. He reached out and held her in his arms, his voice as gentle as usual: "Okay, don't cry, I won't let you down. Even if you enter the mansion, you will enter as a concubine."
The position of a concubine? Yu Qingmeng's face turned ferocious in Xu Lipeng's arms. With her status, even if she could marry Xu Lipeng, it was not impossible for her to become the wife of the prince of Yongning. But now, she was not even a concubine, but just a concubine. Why did they only give her a concubine
How can I not hate in my heart!
But for now she had to accept it. She reached out and touched her belly. If there was no child, would Xu Lipeng not even give her this concubine
If it were in the past, she would definitely not believe it, but now she has to believe it.
"Has the person been sent over?" Pei Yuanjun walked slowly forward in the palace and asked lazily.
He wore a light purple royal robe, on which were embroidered a few dark purple irises outlined with gold thread. As he walked, the irises bloomed, dazzling and beautiful, yet revealing a bit of evil. This attire was completely different from his noble and elegant appearance, yet it made people inexplicably feel handsome and harmonious!
As they walked past him, all the palace maids and eunuchs prostrated themselves on the ground when they saw him.
"It has been sent to say thank you." Ji Hai, the personal eunuch, reported with a smile. Yu Dong was selected by him personally and he was a smart person.
"Is that all you said?" Pei Yuanjun raised his handsome eyes and asked very elegantly.
He sent a young eunuch over. He was satisfied with the idea and found it very interesting. The girl didn't look like someone who would accept it submissively. Was that the only sign he had
"My master, you're joking. What else can I say? Besides, Haizi is very good. She is much more useful than those maids." Ji Hai said with a smile, responding to his master's bad taste.
As they were talking, several people turned out from the intersection ahead. Among them, escorted by eunuchs and guards, was Crown Prince Pei Luoan. It was the first time that Pei Yuanjun saw the crown prince, who was said to have been injured in an assassination attempt, since he returned to Beijing.
He stopped and looked at Pei Luoan who was walking slowly towards him.
"Greetings, Uncle Wang!" The prince also saw him, and a smile appeared on his slightly pale face. He took a few steps forward, bowed to Pei Yuanjun, and bent his waist deeply, showing great respect!
The people behind him followed suit and saluted.
Everyone knows that the person the emperor trusts the most is the Prince of Yun in front of him. This Prince of Yun is not only favored, but also holds great power. He holds the most important military power. More than half of the military power of the entire country is controlled by him. Just for this reason, the prince dare not despise this uncle.
"I heard that you were injured on your wedding night, and the Crown Princess was seriously injured because of you. How is she now? Has the assassin been caught?" Pei Yuanjun asked indifferently, raising his hand to signal the Crown Prince to excuse himself.
She told outsiders that she was sick, but in fact it was because of an assassination attempt that the Crown Princess became "ill".
"Uncle Wang, I still have no clue about the assassin. I don't know why I still can't find out. The Crown Princess..." Pei Luoan couldn't continue here. His face was sad, his eyes were red, and he was completely listless. He turned his head to the side and wiped the eye marks at the corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes, then turned his head again, "It was me who didn't protect her well, and she..."
The news that the Crown Princess was dying was released early on, and the imperial doctors had also confirmed it early on, so it might just take a few days.
"How is Ling Anbo?" Pei Yuanjun was not affected by the prince's emotions. He raised the corners of his handsome lips and asked lightly.
"My father-in-law is not in a good condition now. Both of his daughters are in trouble. Even if he... he can't bear it for a while." Pei Luoan said sadly, "When I went to the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion that day, my father-in-law was already preparing for his death. He even submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking to give the title to the eldest wife of the Marquis's Mansion."
"Give it to Ji Yongan who has accomplished nothing?" Pei Yuanjun laughed, somewhat arrogantly and mockingly, without any intention of giving the father of the Crown Prince's concubine the slightest bit of face. "Then the title of this Earl's Mansion is really over. Thinking back to the old days,
"My uncle is such a hero, I didn't expect that he would give birth to such an unpromising son."
Ling'an Earl Ji Yongming is the eldest son, and Ji Yongan is the second son, so the title fell on Ji Yongming. Now that the first wife has no heirs, the title can only be passed on to the second wife. Unfortunately, in Pei Yuanjun's eyes, Ji Yongan is useless, and his character is even more criticized.
The prince's face turned red, and he was speechless for a moment. He lowered his head slightly, but a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He was the prince and the future emperor. How could a mere prince dare to be so presumptuous in front of him? In order for Ji Yongan to inherit the title smoothly, he had to report to Pei Yuanjun.
Why? He is the master, the ruler.
The hand under the sleeve slowly clenched into a fist, and then slowly lowered, still looking weak.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that Ji Yongan is now your father-in-law, one of our own." Pei Yuanjun said frivolously. He didn't care much about Pei Luoan's assassination, but he seemed to care a lot about him marrying Ji Yongan's daughter into the East Palace. "A pair of sisters, both are beauties, the prince is really blessed."
"Uncle Wang, please be careful with your words. The Crown Princess's current situation... I am really distressed." The Crown Prince frowned and said in a sad voice.
Anyone who saw it would feel that the prince was deeply in love. As for the Ji family sending another young lady here, it was also to better take care of the crown princess. As for Pei Luoan himself, there was nothing to complain about.
The prince tucked his hands, which were bulging with veins, tightly into his sleeves so that no one could see.
The dark and cold eyes fell on the prince's face, as if examining something. The feeling as if being licked by a poisonous snake made the prince very uncomfortable and filled with a strong sense of anger, but he did not dare to really get angry with Pei Yuanjun. Those sinister eyes made his heart palpitate.
It seemed that ever since he was a child, as far as he could remember, this Uncle Wang, who was about the same age as him, had always made him wary.
After a long while, the prince was sweating coldly on his back, and then he heard Pei Yuanjun's voice: "Prince's health is the most important thing, other things can be put aside. As for the beauties, if the prince is interested, I have brought a pair of beautiful sisters from the border and sent them to the prince's mansion together, okay?"
The queen is about to die, and the prince's face is filled with sorrow, yet at this time he is still sending a beauty to someone else's house. Is this something a human being would do
The prince was filled with resentment, but he had to bow his head to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I don't have much else to think about right now. I just want to stay with the Crown Princess."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly a man of loyalty and righteousness. I have something else to do with the Emperor, so I'll take my leave now." Pei Yuanjun said lightly.
The prince stepped aside, and Pei Yuanjun left with his men, leaving the prince and his group standing alone.
Give way? He actually gave way
He was the crown prince of a country, and he actually gave way to a prince? The crown prince was ashamed and angry, looking at Pei Yuanjun's back, with sinister resentment in his eyes.
But the next moment, a gentle smile appeared on his face again.
Pei Yuanjun turned around.
"The emperor's health is not very good. If you are ill, please come to the palace more often to accompany the emperor." Pei Yuanjun said, then turned and left.
Pei Luoan's face twisted twice hideously before he finally controlled himself. His words of deep love and loyalty to the Crown Princess just now, because of Pei Yuanjun's words, turned into him only caring about women and not filial piety
How dare Pei Yuanjun? His teeth almost cut into the flesh...
