The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

When she returned to the mansion, she thought of how Xiaohong had been looking unusually nervous recently, with her brows furrowed, as if she was worried about something. She felt a little puzzled, because Xiaohong was usually a cheerful and lively maid, and rarely had such an expression.

So, when Xiaohong was about to leave, she stopped her and asked softly, "Xiaohong, what's wrong with you? You always look absent-minded lately!"

Xiao Hong was startled by Feng Yanan's sudden question. She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Feng Yanan: "Miss, actually... it's about Miss Lin. I'm afraid you will be unhappy after hearing it, so..."

Feng Yanan became even more curious after hearing this, and she asked, "Miss Lin? What happened to her? Just tell me."

Seeing Feng Yanan say this, Xiaohong plucked up her courage and whispered, "Miss Lin once saved the prince. I guess she came back this time for the prince. I'm afraid you will think too much after knowing this, so..."

After hearing this, Feng Yanan was a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure. How could she not know about this! That's right, the original owner in the past was devoted to the Crown Prince Yan Wuji, and she was not interested in anything else. It's normal that she doesn't know.

"You said that she came back this time for the prince. What do you mean?" Feng Yanan felt that Xiaohong must have a reason for saying that.

Seeing that Feng Yanan was not too emotional, Xiaohong whispered, "Miss, you may not know that Miss Lin Yuejiao once saved the prince in an accident, and the two returned to Beijing together. At that time, people in the capital speculated that they were a couple. After all, Miss Lin was beautiful and the prince was brave."

Feng Yanan nodded and motioned Xiaohong to continue.

Xiao Hong continued, "At that time, various rumors were circulating in the capital, saying that Miss Lin and the prince were a perfect match, and there were even rumors that the prince had a special liking for Miss Lin. However, these were just speculations from the outside world, after all, the prince had never publicly expressed his feelings for Miss Lin."

"But," Xiaohong paused and continued, "because you are engaged to the prince, many people have been discussing in private, saying that you are not worthy of the prince and that only Miss Lin is worthy of him. They even said that it was the general who begged the emperor to marry you to the prince." Xiaohong's voice became lower and lower, and it was obvious that these words made her a little difficult to say.

Feng Yanan couldn't help but feel bitter when she heard this. How could the original owner not know all this? I really admire him.

"What happened next?" Feng Yanan asked.

Xiao Hong sighed and continued, "After all, it is well known that the prince is not favored by the emperor. Although he is a prince, he has no chance of becoming the emperor. This has led many people to speculate whether Master Lin would agree to marry his daughter to a prince who has no chance of becoming the emperor."

Indeed, after all, Master Lin was an important official in the court, and his purpose in training his daughter was to allow her to marry into the royal family and become a strong contender for the queen. If the prince had no chance to inherit the throne, then Master Lin would naturally not be willing to let his daughter marry him.

Because Yan Lingxiao's mother was a palace maid, the emperor never took him seriously. It was said that her mother wanted to assassinate the emperor after serving him in bed, but how could the emperor kill her so easily? The emperor wanted to cut her into pieces on the spot to vent his anger, but he thought that she was just a palace maid, how could she dare to do that to the emperor. There must be someone behind her. So he put her in jail and investigated slowly.

The maid was imprisoned in the prison for half a month, and every day was like hell. The cold and cruel torture made her physically and mentally exhausted, but she always gritted her teeth and never uttered a word of begging for mercy. It was not until those cruel tortures could not shake her will that she asked to see the emperor, her voice revealing endless determination and firmness.

She came here to avenge the Yunzhou family, and I have no regrets. Her words were full of determination, and the flame of revenge flashed in her eyes. She accused the royal family of being ruthless and using power to oppress people, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the emperor's heart.

After hearing this, the emperor finally understood why she wanted to assassinate him. His thoughts drifted back to when he was still the crown prince and personally led people to raid the Yun family. At that time, he was only thinking about consolidating the imperial power, but he didn't expect that there would be such a fish that slipped through the net. He looked at the palace maid in front of him. Her beauty and tenacity made him a little moved. Originally, he planned to favor her and give her a noble position, but now everything has changed.

The emperor's face gradually darkened, and he ordered her to be dragged away and beaten to death. However, when the guards dragged her away, shocking pools of blood were left on the ground. The emperor was stunned. He had never seen such a scene before, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

He stopped the guards for the first time and summoned the imperial physician. After a diagnosis, the imperial physician told her that the maid was pregnant. This news was like a thunderclap, exploding in the emperor's heart. The royal family has always attached great importance to offspring, and this unexpected news made the emperor fall into deep thought.

Complex emotions were churning in his heart. On the one hand, he was full of hatred for the maid because she had assassinated him; on the other hand, he could not be cruel to the mother who was about to become the heir of the royal family. He was caught in a dilemma.

Finally, the emperor made a decision. He ordered that what happened today should not be spread outside. He arranged the maid to be imprisoned in a secluded palace in the harem. He also gave her the title of An Guiren, which was to remind her to be more obedient and take good care of her pregnancy. He would forgive her for what happened. If she did anything wrong again, he would show no mercy.

Deep within the walls of the imperial palace, the maid once fell into despair. After learning that she was pregnant, her heart was filled with sorrow and struggle. She did not want to leave any blood for the emperor she hated so much, so she began to try various ways to hurt herself, hoping to end this innocent life.

She deliberately let herself get cold, and even secretly hit her abdomen when no one was around, but every attempt ended in failure. The baby in her belly seemed to have a tenacious vitality, and no matter how she tortured herself, the baby was safe and sound.

As time went by, the maid's belly gradually swelled, and she felt the throbbing of life she had never felt before. Every night when everyone was still, she would gently place her hands on her belly to feel the faint beating, which was her child.

Maternal love gradually sprouted in the maid's heart, and she began to feel guilty for her previous thoughts. She knew that no matter how much she hated the man, the child was innocent and he should have the right to come into this world and experience the beauty of the world.

However, this did not mean that her hatred for the emperor had dissipated. Whenever she thought of that cold-blooded man, she would still be filled with endless anger. But she knew that this hatred could not affect her child, and she had to be strong for her child.

So the maid began to adjust her mentality. She stopped trying to hurt herself and started preparing for the arrival of the child. She learned how to take care of herself and how to provide the best nutrition for the child. She even began to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if the child could leave the palace one day and live a free life.
