Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 135: Medicine for a child soon

"My wife, I am in good health and don't need any supplements. But my wife seems to be lacking in energy and blood, so she needs more supplements."

Shen Jing scooped up the soup with affection and handed it to Ji Anyu's mouth.

Ji Anyu smelled the hidden medicinal flavor in the soup and subconsciously frowned and shrank back.

"I'm in good health too." She forced a smile and raised her hand to push away Shen Jing's hand that was scooping the soup.

"I haven't asked my husband yet why he thinks the Crown Prince and Ji Yunchu won't get married?"

Shen Jing glanced at the soup and smiled dotingly.

"Because my people heard that the prince was unwilling to marry Ji Yunchu, the queen asked the prince to be patient for the time being and cancel the engagement when the time is right."

"What about the emperor? What is his attitude towards Ji Yunchu?"

Shen Jing put down the soup in his hand.

"The Emperor wants Ji Yunchu to be the Crown Princess, but he also doesn't want her. He may still be considering it. Not directly decreeing the marriage is a way out for him."

Ji Anyu curled her lips in silence, "This emperor is too cunning! When Ji Yunchu's reputation is damaged, the prince will naturally propose to cancel the engagement, and the royal family's face can be saved."

"Yes, fortunately, my lady did not choose to marry the prince, otherwise today's Ji Yunchu would be you, my lady."

Shen Jing raised the corner of his mouth, grabbed the soup and placed it in front of Ji Anyu, signaling Ji Anyu with his eyes to drink the soup.

Ji Anyu chose to ignore it and put the soup back to Shen Jing.

"I have always liked you, your wife. The prince and I were only forced together by my grandfather. You have always been number one in my heart."

Although Shen Jing knew that Ji Anyu was talking nonsense, he couldn't help but grin.

Ji Anyu scooped up the soup and put it to Shen Jing's mouth, smiling and pouting.

"My dear husband, what I said is true. I won't lie. Look, your lips are not as rosy as before, which makes your handsome face less handsome. If your face is rosy and shiny every day, no matter what kind of prince he is, even if he is a god, he will not be as handsome as you..."

Shen Jing drank up the whole soup under Ji Anyu's sweet words.

At night, Shen Jing smelled the fragrant Ji Anyu and felt so hot that he got up and took four cold showers.

Looking at Ji Anyu who was sleeping soundly without knowing anything, he ran to the study room to sleep in frustration.

The next day, Ji Anyu turned around and touched nothing. She opened her eyes in confusion.

Where did Shen Jing go?

"Miss, you're awake. Deng Qiqi went to the Dali Temple to sue Ji Xiuyi and Deng Huajie for murder and robbery." Qing Wu lifted the bed curtain and hung it beside the bed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Anyu immediately woke up.

"After breakfast, let's go check together. Where is the prince? Has he had breakfast?"

"Not yet. The prince has gone to practice swordplay. He is waiting for you to wake up and have dinner together. I will go and call him now."

After Ji Anyu finished washing up, she put on her clothes and came out from behind the screen, and saw Shen Jing already sitting at the dining table.

"Ah! Husband, you don't look good. You look worse than yesterday. Did you not sleep well?"

Ji Anyu bit a meat bun and stared at Shen Jing's dark eye bags curiously.

Shen Jing felt annoyed when he saw Ji Anyu's heartless look, and he tried to speak gently.

"I slept well. It was probably the soup that made me look bad. Madam, don't let anyone cook that kind of thing in the future. It makes me feel uncomfortable after drinking it."

Ji Anyu felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, and took the opportunity to touch Shen Jing's cheek.

"Then you should take good care of yourself. I asked Ya Yan to prepare some medicinal food. But the taste of the medicinal food is really bad. I can't even drink it." Shen Jing took a deep breath helplessly, "Since my wife doesn't like to drink it, why do you ask me to drink it? I can't drink it either."

"I have no problem, why should I drink medicinal food?"

Shen Jing smiled speechlessly, "I'm fine too. If you don't believe me, let Ya Yan check my pulse. I'm in very good health."

Ji Anyu swallowed the meat bun in her mouth, turned her head to look at the maid serving beside her, and whispered shyly into Shen Jing's ear.

"A Jing, have you forgotten? Ya Yan said before that after we get married, he will prescribe us medicine that will allow us to have children quickly."

Shen Jing almost spit out the meat porridge in his mouth. He quickly closed his mouth and swallowed the meat porridge, but he choked on it.

"Cough cough cough..."

Ji Anyu patted Shen Jing's chest gently, "Are you okay? You don't need to be so excited. There's no rush for offspring."

Shen Jing looked at Ji Anyu with a hint of surprise. Who is so anxious about having an offspring?
He must stop using those messy medicines today!
Shen Jing changed the subject, "Anyu, aren't you going to see Deng Qiqi? I'll let Zhusha follow you."

"I have Qingwu and the others, that's all I need. Zhusha will stay with you."

"Well, be careful."

When Ji Anyu rushed to the Dali Temple, all his old acquaintances from the Duke's Mansion were there.

"Sir, Ji Xiuyi and Deng Huajie wanted my family's money. After my parents died, they sent people to pretend to be robbers to kill the servants in my family and took away all my money. Ji Xiuyi and his men wanted to silence us, but luckily I saved someone who can testify for me!"

Ji Xiuyi broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help trembling when he saw his former guard was alive.

Tian Dazhuang glared at Ji Xiuyi with hatred in his eyes.

"It was Ji Xiuyi who asked us to disguise ourselves as bandits and kill the Deng family. Ji Xiuyi was afraid that we would leak the matter, so he killed more than a dozen of us brothers. God has eyes, and I was lucky to survive. Ji Xiuyi took advantage of Master Deng's young age to secretly occupy those land deeds and shops. Your Excellency can send someone to investigate."

Ji Xiuyi's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

He thought that everyone who knew what happened was dead, including Deng Qiqi, so he blatantly sent his own people to work in the shop.

All the valuable items looted in the past were pawned for silver, and some were used as dowry for Ji Qinqin.

The witnesses and evidence are all there, he can't deny it.

Deng Huajie cried bitterly with regret. Why did she marry a bastard like Ji Xiuyi? He ruined her family and herself.

What she was most worried about was her daughter in the East Palace. After this incident, how would the people in the palace view her daughter? Her daughter's life would probably be even more difficult.

When Cao Lingru woke up and heard about the second house, she felt angry and amused.

"No matter how bad Ji Xiuyi is, he is still the Duke's biological brother. The Duke's Mansion cannot escape blame for what he did. They are so stupid! His mother's family is also in trouble!"

When Ji Qinqin heard that her parents were imprisoned in the Dali Temple, she anxiously asked the prince for help to save her parents. Unexpectedly, the prince slapped her as soon as he saw her.

"You still have the nerve to beg me? Your parents did that and it made me look so embarrassed! If I came forward to protect your parents, the censors in the court would scold me to death. Do you want to kill me? How have I done anything wrong to you?"

Ji Qinqin cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. "Your Highness, I beg you. You are the only one who can save my parents right now. I beg you."

She kept kowtowing to the prince, hoping that he would help her parents out of kindness.

"Your Highness, my father is the Duke's younger brother. Please help me for the Duke's sake. From now on, I will obey you in everything. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

The prince kicked Ji Qinqin impatiently.

"With you like this, how else can you help me?"
