Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Gu Yichuan heard the key point in the words and frowned and asked: "The princess is of noble status, why does His Royal Highness Prince Jing choose a son-in-law from the newly-appointed Jinshi?"

Seeing that he was still suspicious, Princess Yongjia felt a little annoyed why she had said so much.

She sighed and said, "It is precisely because of my noble status that I have high standards. I look down on all those playboys from aristocratic families in the capital. That is why my father has set his sights on the newly-appointed Jinshi. The imperial examination selects scholars based on their talents. Although many scholars are not from aristocratic families, they are talented and have awe-inspiring character... just like Gu Lang."

When she put down her pride, her eyes were filled with tenderness, as if she was in love but could not get it.

Gu Yichuan looked at her for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about. After a while, he said, "It's a pity that a forced melon is not sweet. I hope the princess understands this truth."

Hearing this, Princess Yongjia looked gloomy, and after a moment, she seemed to have made a decision.

"Forget it. I have done so much, but you still refuse to listen to my soft words and hard words. I understand your intentions. I think we should just let it go."

Hearing this, Gu Yichuan and Shen Nankui looked at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Before I could feel happy, Princess Yongjia changed the subject.

"but……"

A strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Gu Lang needs to help me do something."

"What's the matter?" Gu Yichuan asked hurriedly.

Princess Yongjia did not answer, but raised her hands and clapped. Footsteps were heard outside the house, and Qingxu walked in with a man who looked like a doctor.

Princess Yongjia's eyes fell on Shen Nankui's lower abdomen. "Last time we met, I saw that Sister Shen seemed to be unwell, so today I specially invited a doctor to take her pulse."

She pointed her chin and said, "Go ahead, Doctor Li."

Gu Yichuan didn't understand what he meant, but Shen Nankui frowned in a somewhat alert manner, bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am in good health and don't need a doctor to check my pulse."

"The doctor is here, Sister Shen, just sit down and take my pulse. It won't be a big deal for you."

Shen Nankui couldn't refuse and could only obey.

Doctor Li examined her for a moment and replied, "My Lady, this lady is three months pregnant."

Gu Yichuan stood there in a daze, and asked in a daze: "What did you say?"

Doctor Li left after checking the patient's pulse. Princess Yongjia saw him like this and asked with a bit of amusement, "Such a big thing, didn't Doctor Gu know about it?"

Gu Yichuan looked at Shen Nankui in disbelief, "Nankui, you..."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Before, I was afraid that it would affect your performance, so I wanted to tell you after the results were announced. But then something like this happened, so I never mentioned it."

Gu Yichuan was surprised and happy, and even laughed like a child.

"We have a child?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Nan Kui, you've suffered so much. You're pregnant and I've implicated you. You've been worried and scared because of me. I'm such a bastard..."

He was so happy and guilty at the same time that he completely forgot that there were other people in the room.

Shen Nankui coughed lightly and reminded, "Yichuan, the princess is still here."

Gu Yichuan finally came back to his senses. He refused to move away from Shen Nankui and asked, "The princess hasn't told me yet. What exactly do you want me to do?"

Princess Yongjia's face had already turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, saying, "You two are so loving, it seems that I really shouldn't break you up."

"Qingxu, bring it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingxu came in with a bowl of black medicine on a tray.

Princess Yongjia said with a smile, "Sister Shen has been worried and frightened these past two days, which may not be good for the fetus in her belly. I ordered the doctor to make a medicine to keep the baby safe. Mr. Zhuangyuan, you should feed it to Sister Shen quickly while it is hot. This is what I want you to do."

"Abortion-preserving medicine?"

Her attitude changed so quickly that Gu Yichuan obviously didn't believe she could be so kind.

Princess Yongjia smiled gently, "Don't worry, Doctor Li's medical skills are well-known in the capital, and the herbs he uses are all top-grade. This pregnancy-preserving medicine is like putting you under house arrest for three days, as an apology from this princess."

Gu Yichuan, however, did not move.

Shen Nankui looked at the bowl of medicine, feeling more and more uneasy. He suddenly asked, "May I ask, Princess, is this a medicine to keep the baby safe, or a medicine to abort the baby in my belly?"

Princess Yongjia's face darkened. "I have good intentions, how can I allow you to make malicious assumptions like this?"

Gu Yichuan bowed and said, "Princess, please forgive me. Since it is a pregnancy-preserving medicine, I will feed it to my wife."

"Yichuan..."

Shen Nankui called him, but saw Gu Yichuan shaking his head at her.

Seeing this, Princess Yongjia looked satisfied, with a cold smile on her lips.

Gu Yichuan picked up the medicine bowl and walked towards Shen Nankui, but he suddenly twisted his foot and almost fell to the ground, and the medicine was all spilled on the ground.

Gu Yichuan quickly apologized, "It's all my fault that I was so happy that I lost my mind and didn't stand firmly. I failed the princess's kindness. I hope the princess will forgive me. However, I see that my wife's face is rosy, and it doesn't look like anything is wrong. The princess doesn't need to worry about all the troubles."

"you!"

Princess Yongjia stared at him hatefully, her eyes burning with anger.

This Gu Yichuan actually dared to play tricks on her. She had never been treated like this in her life!

She didn't say anything, and Gu Yichuan kept bowing with an unusually respectful attitude, as if the person who had rejected him time and time again before was not him.

Princess Yongjia laughed angrily, "Master Gu, if the medicine is not fed into Shen's stomach, it does not count as fulfilling my condition. Then, I will not let you go."

Gu Yichuan frowned, "This is not a pregnancy-preserving drug."

It's an affirmative tone.

"This is the pregnancy-preserving medicine. If you spill this bowl, there are still second and third bowls. You have no choice."

Gu Yichuan's face darkened, "You want to harm my child?"

Princess Yongjia approached him, put her face against his, and whispered, "Shouldn't you pay a price for treating me like this? This princess really wants to know, after you caused Shen to lose her child, can you still be as united as you are now?"

Gu Yichuan took a step back and stared at her with a sharp gaze, "I would never do that!"

"It's not up to you."

Princess Yongjia took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and unfolded it. She took a look and sighed, "Tsk tsk, this child's name is Wenyuan, right? His handwriting is so neat. Could it be that Master Gu taught him personally?"

She took out a small sachet and said, "And this girl, even at such a young age, she does a good job as a housemaid. Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Gu Yichuan recognized it at a glance. It was A Yuan's handwriting and the purse embroidered by A Qiao.

He snatched the thing away, shook his head and muttered: "No, you don't have the courage to do it to them..."

"I still have a lot of people hiding in Lai'an Town. How can they blame me for some accidents? However, if these two children really have an accident, they can only blame you, their uncle, for being cruel. Don't you think so?"

"Let me keep you happy for one more night," Princess Yongjia said as she walked out. When she reached the door, she ordered, "Ge Da and Ge Er, guard this room well and don't let them leave!"
