She looked forward to her future life, where they would welcome the arrival of a new life together and watch the child grow up little by little.

The whole family is happy and enjoying the joy of family life... Just like this, they go through this life peacefully and fully.

Thinking of this, a gentle yet determined smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Zhao Qiyan stared at Yun Shang. At first, he looked a little confused, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

However, as time went by, the confusion was gradually replaced by a gentle smile.

His eyes became soft and affectionate, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing the joy deep in his heart.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Shang'er, we have our own child."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned over and gently kissed Yun Shang on the cheek. That kiss was like a spring breeze, full of endless love and care.

Then, Zhao Qiyan slowly stood up, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

He said softly, "My mother passed away very early, and although my father is still alive, he doesn't belong to me alone. In this royal family, the so-called family affection is nothing but an illusion. I have never truly felt that kind of warmth and support."

At this point, he paused briefly, took a deep breath, and continued, "But, right now, I don't know who arranged for you to be by my side, but I'm incredibly grateful to that person. Because of you, my world is no longer lonely."

He reached out his hand, gently stroking Yun Shang's hair, and said with anticipation, "Now, I not only have a beloved wife, but we are also about to welcome the fruit of our love. In the future, perhaps even more lovely children will be born. Imagine that by then, our Prince Qi's Mansion will surely be filled with laughter and joy, and bustling with activity."

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help but pout, and said with a face full of resentment: "Humph! I don't want to have so many children. You can find another woman to give birth to children for you. Anyway, I only want to have this one."

After saying that, she turned her head to the side, pretending to be angry and ignoring Zhao Qiyan.

Zhao Qiyan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this.

He leaned close to Yun Shang's ear and teased softly, "Other women can bear children for me, but are you really willing to watch others share this happiness?"

"Just because we have two concubines who are just vases in the mansion, Shang'er hasn't spoken to me for a long time. How dare I let another woman get pregnant with my child?"

Yun Shang smiled faintly, her smile as charming as a blooming spring flower. Looking at Zhao Qiyan, who was so sensible, she felt that there was no need to say anything more; everything was self-explanatory.

Just then, Qinghuan walked in lightly carrying a bowl of steaming medicine.

Yun Shang took the bowl of medicine, drank it all without hesitation, then slowly lay down and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After Yun Shang fell asleep, the relaxed look on Zhao Qiyan's face, who had been waiting beside her, gradually faded away, and was replaced by a solemn look.

He stood up quietly and walked out of the room with steady steps.

At this time, in the study, Liang Wenxin had been waiting for a long time according to Qi Chuan's secret instructions.

Seeing Zhao Qiyan come in, Liang Wenxin quickly stood up and saluted and asked, "I wonder if Your Highness has kept me here, but do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Zhao Qiyan's face was as gloomy as water. He raised a hand and motioned Liang Wenxin to sit down. Then he said bluntly, "To be honest, Doctor Liang, my princess is still young, and I didn't intend for her to get pregnant too early. Therefore, in the month before she discovered she was pregnant, she took contraceptive soup several times. I wonder if this will have any adverse effects on the fetus in her womb? Can this baby... be kept safe?"

Liang Wenxin frowned slightly, a serious look on his face, and slowly said, "No wonder I felt something was wrong when I examined the princess just now. Just eating some melon and falling down shouldn't cause such severe abdominal pain."

He shook his head slightly and continued, "If the fall had truly had a substantial impact on the fetus, there would have been an attack immediately, most likely accompanied by obvious signs like spotting. However, none of these symptoms occurred at the time, which suggests the abdominal pain wasn't directly caused by the fall."

Having said this, Liang Wenxin paused for a moment, then continued, "However, it's important to note that the contraceptive soup contains several special medicinal ingredients, and these drugs are absolutely taboo for pregnant women not to touch!"

"Although we were lucky enough to save the fetus this time, no one can guarantee that the child will be completely healthy after birth. After all, the drugs in the contraceptive soup are very likely to cause congenital disabilities in the fetus."

"Of course, the probability of this happening isn't 100%, but even if there's only the slightest possibility, it's a huge risk we can't afford for an unborn child! So, in my humble opinion, it's probably best not to keep this baby."

Zhao Qiyan clenched his fists tightly. Because he was using too much force, his finger joints turned slightly white and his palms were left with deep marks from his nails.

He closed his eyes tightly, frowning as if trying to block out the endless regret and self-blame in his heart.

Time passed minute by minute, and the surroundings were so quiet that only his slightly heavy breathing could be heard.

He kept scolding himself in his heart: Why was he so careless? How could he make such an unforgivable mistake! If only he had been more careful, if only... But no matter how many assumptions he made, it was no use now.

After a long time, so long that even the air seemed to have frozen, Zhao Qiyan finally slowly opened his eyes.

The eyes that were originally filled with pain, regret and other complex emotions now became unusually calm, like a pool of stagnant water, without a trace of ripples.

He opened his mouth dryly and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Then please trouble Doctor Liang to prepare the abortion medicine."

When he said this, it seemed as if he had used up all his strength.

However, Yun Shang was still in a state of confusion and ignorance about what was happening.

After a brief period of confusion, she gradually and bit by bit accepted the reality that she already had a child.

When she sat alone in silence, her eyes would inevitably fall on her slightly bulging belly, her heart filled with an indescribable wonderful feeling. As she stared at it, time seemed to stand still.

As the time of gazing extended, the magical feeling became stronger and stronger. Unconsciously, Yun Shang began to feel a deep anticipation for this unborn child in her heart.
