There was a slight, uncomfortable pain in my stomach.

Are you ready to start?

She touched her belly, slumped in her seat, her eyes empty.

There was a commotion outside, and a maid rushed in and said to her, "Princess, Miss Tengxi was knocked unconscious not far from the back door. I have brought people to bring her back...Princess? Princess?"

The maid looked at An Huanyan in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Song Yan rushed in with an old man. Seeing this, he asked her to help carry An Huanyan to the bed and then let her go out.

Song Yan pulled the trembling old man over and said, "Doctor Wang, please take a look! See if there is any hope!"

Doctor Wang quickly put down his medicine box and felt her pulse in a panic, his eyes flickering.

"This...this...this..."

Songyan stamped her feet anxiously, "Please tell me quickly! Can we save this child?"

"This... this is obviously not saveable!" Doctor Wang pointed at An Huanyan's snow-white skirt that was stained red by blood.

An Huanyan's dull eyes flashed only for a moment.

It wasn't as painful as I had imagined.

It's not excruciating pain.

It is the pain that is gnawing at your flesh and blood bit by bit in small, dense and fragmented ways.

Doctor Wang hurriedly wrote a prescription and went down the drain.

Songyan raised her hand and wiped her tears with her sleeves over and over again. She accidentally touched her swollen face, which made her grimace in pain, but she didn't care about much else. She asked several maids to change An Huanyan's clothes, bring hot water, and get a clean towel.

An Huanyan felt more and more pain. She turned her head and asked loudly, "Where is he?"

Songyan shuddered suddenly and stammered, "The Prince Consort went...went...to court...and hasn't come back yet..."

"Speak!" An Huanyan yelled.

Songyan cried out, "The Prince Consort was intercepted by the Hai family as soon as he left the palace!"

An Huanyan rolled her eyes and screamed. After a burst of piercing pain, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

She calmed down, signaled the stunned Songyan to take away the bloody thing, and changed into clean clothes.

She was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes. She just closed them and ordered, "Don't let anyone in for the next two days. I want to rest."

Song Yan wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked carefully, "Then... is it the same for the Prince Consort..."

But An Huanyan brushed her hand away, turned over silently, and fell into a deep sleep.

Hai Yanqing hurried to the princess's mansion. As soon as he walked in, he was stopped by the servants at the door. One of them told him respectfully: "The princess said she doesn't want to see anyone. Please go back, my Lord!"

When Hai Yanqing heard this, he was immediately anxious. He pushed those people away and strode towards the inner courtyard. He pushed down a few servants who were blocking him before stepping onto the stairs and heading up to Mengmantai Tower.

When he walked to the door, he saw Songyan and Tengxi standing at the door, looking at him indifferently, as if they didn't see him.

When Hai Yanqing saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and he quickly explained: "I didn't know either... I'm late, I deserve to die, let me go in and explain to her..."

But no matter what he said, Songyan and Tengxi seemed not to hear him and ignored him completely.

Hai Yanqing's patience gradually ran out, and he finally couldn't help but reach out to push the door.

At this moment, Song Yan suddenly said coldly: "The princess is very weak now. If she sees the prince consort, she will definitely be even angrier. What if she bleeds and dies?"

Hai Yanqing was stunned when he heard this, and his hand stopped in mid-air. He sighed helplessly, and finally turned around and left.

After Hai Yanqing left, Song Yan couldn't help but complain indignantly: "When the princess needed him the most, he was always not around, and now he comes here to pretend to be a good guy!"

Tengxi on the side lowered his head silently without saying a word.

Her mind involuntarily recalled the scene when she went to ask for help.

That day, she had just run out of the back door. The originally quiet path had even fewer pedestrians because it was early in the morning.

She looked around anxiously, and finally picked up a stick, gritted her teeth, and swung it hard at the back of her head. The next moment, she fainted on the ground unconsciously.

When he woke up again, he had been carried back to the princess's mansion, and the entire mansion was in chaos.

"Tengxi, what's wrong with you?" Songyan asked her with concern.

Tengxi said timidly: "It's okay...it's okay...I just...just..."

Song Yan was afraid that what he had just said would make her think too much, so he quickly comforted her: "Teng Xi, you know, I'm not talking about you. You can only blame the Hai family for being too vicious!"

Tengxi bit her lip and nodded hesitantly.

In the Yingchun Pavilion of the Hai Mansion, Wen always felt that something was wrong, and there was always an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart.

She couldn't help but began to mutter: "Master, I think this is too cruel to the child? We can just take care of the child ourselves after it is born, why be so heartless? It's just a child, it's not that we can't raise him. Besides, we can find a stepmother for him later and keep this matter a secret..."

Hai Wuya was very impatient after listening to Wen's nagging. He interrupted Wen and said, "What do you know as a woman? Don't you know how insidious and cunning the An family is? We must not let our son give birth to a child with the An family's bloodline, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

After saying this, he left the room without even looking back, leaving Wen, who was looking astonished.

Wen looked at Hai Wuya's departing back, her heart full of grievance and dissatisfaction, but she knew that saying more would be useless, so she could only sigh silently.

The servant came to report to her that the master took Wei Chuchu to Zuixianlou to drink.

It's that bitch again!

Wen was so angry that her back teeth broke.

But he suddenly remembered that today seemed to be a special day, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Zuixianlou? So this day has come..."

Thinking of this, her mood gradually calmed down and she was no longer as angry as before.

"Bizhu, ask your cousins ​​to go with you and check out the situation."

Wen suppressed the guilty pleasure in her heart and pretended nothing had happened.

At the same time, in Zuixian Tower, Wei Chuchu was in a particularly happy mood.

She leaned on the railing of the attic, looking down at the bustling street below with great interest, and turned back from time to time to chat and joke with Hai Wuya. Although there was an old man and a young man, thanks to Wei Chuchu's eloquent speech, they were quite harmonious and warm.

Just as he finished his cup, a servant came running over and called Hai Wuya away.

Although Wei Chuchu was unhappy, she still behaved very well and sensible. She smiled and said to Hai Wuya, "Master, please go and take care of the business first. Don't worry about me."

Hai Wuya nodded in satisfaction, turned and left, leaving Wei Chuchu alone in the attic.

Wei Chuchu was leaning on the railing and staring into the distance in a daze, when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. She looked back and saw that the street suddenly became lively. A few soldiers were walking slowly with a wooden cage, surrounded by curious people.

There was a ragged, disheveled man in the wooden cage.

Wei Chuchu took a closer look and was shocked: It turned out to be Wan Muqing!
