Does the Prince Want a Child?

“I am not pregnant!” she gritted her teeth, each word pronounced with determination.

“If Your Royal Highness doesn’t believe me, you will know the truth in a day!”

The fake pregnancy medicine only lasts for twelve hours, and she had already taken the antidote. But the head Doctor in the imperial hospital insisted she was with child.

Even if she consulted another doctor, they wouldn’t dare contradict the Chief Doctor.

“I will give you one day. If you are not pregnant, your fate will be to be devoured by wolves.”

Yun Nian: …

What are you talking about?

Did you get it wrong?

“Does Your Royal Highness want a child?”

Xiao Chengjun remained silent.

Yun Nian rolled her eyes.

“I said I’m not pregnant, but you all refuse to believe me and insist on listening to the Chief Doctor. If I’m not pregnant, why blame me?”

“Are you implying it’s my fault?”

“…”

What kind of twisted logic does the antagonist have?

“Or do you want to feed me to the wolves now?”

“…”

Oh my goodness, I want to go home.

There are bad people here who keep trying to throw me to the wolves!

Yun Nian clenched her teeth.

She now had another life goal: to turn this despicable man into a human specimen and display him in her research room!

…

When the two Doctors left, they encountered Princess Royal Jing An.

“Chief Doctor Zhang, what are you doing here? Is Your Royal Highness unwell?”

Her nephew’s health was fragile.

Could it be that the poison had acted up again?

Chief Doctor Zhang nodded, wearing a troubled expression.

“This…”

“What happened to Your Royal Highness?”

“Princess, Your Royal Highness is fine, it’s just…”

Princess Royal Jing An was the aunt of Prince Cheng’en and took great care of him.

She was the one who managed all the affairs of the royal family.

Hearing that Xiao Chengjun was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

“If Your Royal Highness is fine, why are you here? Is the new bride feeling unwell?”

The fifth Lady Yun from the Yun family has set her sights on the legitimate heir of the Emperor,

Princess Royal Jing An saw through it all.

Yun’s family is so shallow-minded.

Although her nephew gave up the position of Crown Prince, the future throne would undoubtedly belong to him.

The one currently sitting in that position is just an imposter.

Chief Doctor Zhang nodded.

“It’s Fourth Lady…”

“Fourth Lady?”

Princess Royal Jing An frowned.

“What is she here for?”

Fourth Lady, an unmarried woman already pregnant, had long been infamous.

Such a woman wouldn’t even be welcomed as a guest in the royal family!

“This…”

The two Doctors exchanged glances, both feeling awkward.

“Your Royal Highness summoned us to diagnose Fourth Lady…”

…

In the main hall, Yun Zhen cautiously probed, “If Your Royal Highness wants to keep the child in Yun Nian’s womb, what about your engagement with Yan’er?

The old man finally got to the point.

The purpose of this act was to help Yun Yan break off the engagement.

Yun Yan was deeply in love with Prince Huai, the legitimate heir of the Emperor, so naturally, she wanted to cancel her engagement with Prince Cheng’en.

Xiao Chengjun raised his eyes indifferently.

His tone was cold.

“I disdain to force anyone. The engagement is canceled. From now on, marriages will be decided by the individuals involved, without any interference.”

Yun Zhen felt relieved.

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness! But what about the Emperor…”

“If the Yun family has the audacity to play tricks and break off the engagement, why don’t they have the courage to argue their case before the Emperor?”

Xiao Chengjun sneered.

Yun Zhen dared not speak, feeling guilty.

“Yes, yes, Your Royal Highness…”

Xiao Chengjun glanced coldly at Yun Nian.

“Du Jin, take her away and keep a close watch on her.”

Du Jin nodded.

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

As they moved to apprehend Yun Nian, she resisted.

“I want to go home! Why do you have the right to imprison me?”

Xiao Chengjun’s eyes turned icy, but before he could speak, Yun Zhen interjected, “Rebellious girl, this is your home from now on! The royal family will be your home!”

He gave Yun Nian a fierce look, warning her not to provoke Prince Cheng’en!

She would rather die in Crown Prince’s Mansion than bring trouble to them!

Yun Nian pretended not to see it.

“I want to go home! My children is still at the Yun family. I can’t trust anyone in the Yun family to take care of them. I want to go back!”

Xiao Chengjun furrowed his brows, his expression displeased.

Yun Yan looked at her suspiciously.

When did she start caring so much about those two illegitimate children?

“I will bring the child to you…”

“No!”

Before Yun Zhen could finish his sentence, Yun Nian interrupted firmly, “Father, you abandoned your own daughter. How can I trust you with two grandchildren who don’t meet your expectations? What if something happens to them? Can you compensate me?”

“You…”

Yun Zhen was infuriated by her words.

An ignorant person!

He didn’t exercise self-restraint and fathered two illegitimate children, yet he had the audacity to question him?

Xiao Chengjun grew impatient with their argument and said, “Enough, be quiet and leave.”

As he left the Crown Prince’s Mansion, Yun Zhen gave her a fierce glare, snorted coldly, and turned to board the Yun family’s carriage.

“Fourth sister, why did you contradict the Prince just now? Weren’t you trying to get him to accept your two children?”

Yun Nian scoffed coldly, “Are you still acting even when there’s no one left? You have quite the penchant for drama.”

After speaking, she turned around and climbed onto another carriage, driving away on her own.

Yun Yan reacted angrily, gritting her teeth.

That was my carriage!

Yun Family.

Following the memories of the original owner, Yun Nian returned to the courtyard where she used to live.

Coincidentally, she bumped into Chun Chan, who had hurriedly arrived.

“Lady… why… why did you come back so soon?”

Behind Chun Chan was a Doctor carrying a medicine box.

This girl was the maid of the original person of her.

“Chun Chan! Why did you bring a Doctor again? Didn’t I say not to call for a doctor? Are you ignoring my words?”

Qiu Xiang came out of the house, aggressively saying, “Lady, it’s all this servant’s fault for not keeping an eye on her. She let her slip out and call for a doctor. I will immediately send them away!” Chun Chan immediately knelt down and pleaded, “Lady, the young Lord and young Lady have a high fever. If we don’t call for a doctor, something might happen. They are your children, Lady. I didn’t lie to you. Just come and see for yourself…”

Qiu Xiang went up and twisted Chun Chan’s arm, saying, “Where did these so-called young Lord and young Lady come from? We only have one Lady, and that is Lady! Those two children are clearly fine. You deliberately exaggerated in front of the Lady, causing her annoyance. What is your intention, Chun Chan?”

“I didn’t…”

Chun Chan dodged while shaking her head.

Yun Nian’s head throbbed with pain.

“Stop it! Chun Chan, right? Take me to the side courtyard.”

Although she hadn’t seen the two children, upon hearing that they were sick, her heart had already started to ache.

Chun Chan was momentarily stunned, then immediately reacted, “Yes, yes, Lady, are you injured? Let the Doctor take a look at you…”

Yun Nian frowned, “I’m fine, let the Doctor come along.”

She had initially wanted to say that she could take care of the two children’s illness herself, but seeing Chun Chan’s hopeful eyes, if she refused, she would still be seen as a heartless mother who didn’t care about her children’s lives…

Qiu Xiang stood still, wondering why Yun Nian wanted to see those two little bastards.

Had she gone mad?

Wasn’t she the one who detested those two burdens the most?!

Just as they arrived at the side courtyard, they heard the sound of quarreling and the tender cries of children from inside…
