Wen Yuan frowned slightly and pulled out the system to question.

Wen Yuan: [System, why am I pregnant?]

System: [This... is a bug.]

Wen Yuan: [Then fix this bug quickly. I'm about to die and can't have a child.]

System: [Host, this system is helpless. You know I've always been incompetent. Aside from issuing quests and occasionally chatting with you to relieve boredom, I'm completely useless. Even the authority to send you rewards is pathetically low.]

Wen Yuan: [One of the conditions we agreed to for completing the mission was not to have children in this world. You agreed!]

System: [Yes, this... isn't it a bug? Furthermore, Host Ji Xingyao once secretly contacted this system and asked me to cancel this condition, and this system agreed.]

When Ji Xingyao decided to stay in this world, she kept talking about giving birth to a child for Li Heng.

Prince Ruiping had been on the frontier for many years and had made numerous military achievements. After the court gradually stabilized, it was time for her, as the princess, to give birth to a child for Li Heng.

It was also at that time that the soup for praying for a child was delivered to Yaohua Garden.

Wen Yuan: [You're being a jerk. She's her and I'm me. I never made this request. Get rid of the child right away. I can't leave my bloodline in this world.]

System: [Ah, sorry host, this system is powerless. You have to figure it out on your own. Goodbye!]

Whoosh, the system turned off the power and started pretending to be dead, allowing Wen Yuan to call without responding.

Wen Yuan was so angry that she cursed in her mind, but because she was too excited and lacked oxygen, her breathing became rapid.

"Ayuan, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Zhao noticed Wen Yuan's abnormality at the first moment. He suppressed the joy on his face and picked up Wen Yuan.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Wen Yuan subconsciously hug Li Zhao's neck.

Such an intimate gesture has not appeared in more than half a month since Wen Yuan was confined to his room.

A lot can change in half a month.

In the past, the sandalwood scent on Li Zhao would make Wen Yuan feel at ease, but now she felt the sandalwood was too pungent. She turned her face away, unwilling to get close to Li Zhao's chest.

"Eunuch Zhou, return to the palace."

"Hey, the imperial concubine has returned to the palace~" Eunuch Zhou's shrill voice ended with an upward sound, expressing his undisguised joy.

After three years of succession in the Taifeng Dynasty, there is finally a little prince.

This is a great joy.

Li Zhao took big steps but his body was extremely steady.

There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were full of pride.

After waiting for so many years, he finally has a child.

Li Zhao carried Wen Yuan into the carriage and helped her tidy up the loose hair on her forehead. He said, "Ayuan, wait here for me. I'll go see my fifth brother and then go back to the palace with you."

His gaze was too scorching, so Wen Yuan avoided it imperceptibly and nodded at him.

After Li Zhao left, Wen Yuan opened the curtains and called Xiaoying over.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" Xiaoying's face was full of concern. She was not Eunuch Zhou. Compared to her expectations for the little prince of the Taifeng Dynasty, she was only worried about the health of her own majesty.

Wen Yuan leaned on the window sill, half of his body out, and looked around.

"My queen, be careful." Xiaoying stretched out her hands and lifted Wen Yuan up, fearing that she would fall.

Wen Yuan didn't care about much else. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she ordered, "Go to the pharmacy and get a dose of abortion medicine. Remember, don't let anyone see you."

When Xiaoying heard this, her face turned pale. She opened her eyes wide and shook her head in fear: "No, my lady, no."

Wen Yuan didn't know how to explain it to her, so he could only urge her in a low voice: "Hurry up, the emperor is coming. If you don't go now, you won't have another chance."

Xiaoying always listens to Wen Yuan, but what she said just now was too horrifying.

This is a serious crime of murdering the royal heir and killing nine generations of the clan. How could Xiaoying dare to let Wen Yuan bear the responsibility?

Moreover, abortion drugs are harmful to the body. The Empress has finally gotten pregnant after so many years. What if it damages her physical foundation?

"Sakura, don't you listen to me?"

Time was running out, and Wen Yuan had no choice but to put on a cold face and force Xiaoying.

"My lady, I..." Sakura pinched the corner of her clothes helplessly, her little face wrinkled in confusion.

"Go quickly!" Wen Yuan shouted angrily. Xiaoying shuddered with fear and ran out of the palace helplessly.

After yelling at Xiaoying, Wen Yuan's palms were covered with sweat, and she couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen.

It was flat and smooth there, just like any other day.

But now telling her that there is a little life inside is incredible.

She lowered the curtains, leaned on the soft backrest, closed her eyes, and waited quietly.

In Wenli Pavilion, the imperial physician was busy bandaging Li Heng.

The previous white cloth had already been soaked with blood because of Li Heng's struggle and non-cooperation, so the imperial physician had to remove it and reapply medicine and bandage it.

Li Heng was very weak due to excessive blood loss. At this moment, he stared at the roof in a daze, without resistance or any reaction.

After Li Zhao and the other imperial physicians finished bandaging the patient, they dismissed everyone.

"Fifth brother, Ayuan is pregnant."

Li Heng's lifeless eyes slowly turned like a puppet. After his gaze moved to Li Zhao, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his lifeless eyes.

"Really? Congratulations, brother."

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and the hope in his eyes disappeared without a trace: "Unfortunately, I will never have Xingyao's child."

"Ah Heng, live well. You are my son's uncle. When he grows up, I will teach him how to read and write, and you will teach him how to ride and shoot arrows. If Xing Yao were still here, she would definitely like him."

When mentioning Ji Xingyao, Li Heng's numb expression turned into pain.

"Yes, Xingyao likes children. She likes... children very much."

Li Zhao patted his shoulder and said, "Cheer up. The Taifeng Dynasty needs you. I need you."

"..."

Li Heng ultimately did not agree to his brother's words.

When Li Zhao left Wenli Pavilion, he left secret guards in Prince Ruiping's mansion to monitor Prince Ruiping's every move at all times.

If Prince Ruiping attempts to injure himself again, the secret guards must stop him, otherwise he will be beheaded.

Li Zhao returned to the carriage and found Wen Yuan had fallen asleep.

He sat gently beside Wen Yuan. In order to make her sleep more comfortably, he used his legs as a pillow, squeezed his tall body against the side of the carriage, and maintained an awkward posture until they reached Yonghe Palace.

The swaying carriage stopped and Wen Yuan woke up from his sleep.

She slept very soundly that day. In her dream, she was playing with a naked child. Sometimes they were playing in the stream, and sometimes they were playing cats in the alley.

"Mother, mother, come quickly, come and catch me."

Wen Yuan followed him and kept chasing, wanting to see the child's face clearly.

But I didn't see him clearly until I woke up. I only knew that he was small, chubby, with skin so tender that you could pinch it to make water come out of it. He called "Mom" crisply and was so cute.

She did not want to wake up and wanted to see the child's face again, but the carriage had stopped and there was no point in pretending anymore.

Wen Yuan got off the car with Li Zhao. When she entered the palace gate, she looked at Xiaoying.

Xiaoying looked around in panic, and Wen Yuan knew that the medicine had been obtained.
