My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

"you're right."

Han Mengqi seemed to be murmuring, or perhaps speaking to Prince Duan: "I used to not understand. I always thought you were different from other men, but in reality, you're just an ordinary man. If it weren't for your status as a prince, you'd be even less than a regular man."

Ji Yunshuang watched the drama unfold from her hidden space. Upon hearing Han's words, she frowned slightly.

Was she also a time traveler, just like me?

Ji Yunshuang quickly amplified her mental power and began searching the Prince's mansion. She wanted to see if Han Shi had been tinkering with firearms or anything like that.

However, after searching around, she didn't find anything that was out of this era.

Judging from her appearance, although she comes from the modern era, she's a hopeless romantic. She hasn't done anything else all these years but has spent all her time revolving around one man, dating.

Ji Yunshuang was still lamenting that the two beauties had lost their minds and wasted their lives over a rotten cucumber, leading to such an end.

Outside the space, Prince Duan was once again enraged upon hearing Han Mengqi's words.

What do you mean by saying he's only good because of his princely status, and that without that status, he'd be worse than an ordinary man? What is an ordinary man?

He used to admire Han's boldness, feeling that she was different from ordinary women. She was like a spark, dazzling and brilliant, making him feel that every moment with her was fresh and exciting.

Xu Shi is like a plum blossom, elegant and graceful, exuding a refined beauty in every way.

One was fiery, the other elegant; he loved them both dearly.

Considering Han's personality and his consideration for her, he eventually found a way to make her his principal wife.

But at this moment, he was utterly fed up with Han's temperament.

His temples throbbed with pain, his mind was a jumbled mess, and a thousand thoughts rushed through his head.

He pressed his temples and said, "Men, take them both away and keep them under close watch. Don't let them have any contact with outsiders."

The guards, who were stationed outside the main hall to avoid hearing the conversation inside while ensuring the prince's safety, quickly entered the main hall after hearing the prince's instructions and took Han Mengqi and Xu Ruoyao out to keep an eye on them.

After the guards took the two away, Prince Duan pressed his temples and sat down in a chair to catch his breath.

An Yi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, shall we ask a doctor to come and examine you?"

Today, because it concerns a matter of face, none of Prince Duan's trusted stewards and advisors are present; only a group of highly skilled bodyguards are there.

Prince Duan waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary.

An Yi dared not say another word.

They were positioned to avoid hearing the conversation inside, but being in the main hall, how could they not hear it?

This is a huge scandal, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

He understood that the prince was unwilling to call a doctor to come and see him.

Judging from the prince's appearance, he was clearly deeply traumatized and his body was in great distress. And the matter wasn't over yet; the woman at Yuexin Courtyard had just given birth to a baby boy today…

If what the two princesses say is true, then this baby boy is not the prince's child either.

Like An Yi, Prince Duan also thought of the woman born at Yuexin Courtyard. However, he thought of her even more than An Yi.

His first thought was whether someone was behind this.

He pressed his temples and ordered his guards to detain all suspicious persons and conduct thorough investigations and interrogations.

After giving a long list of instructions, he turned to An Yi and said, "Go to Yuexin Courtyard yourself. Ning Shi died from postpartum hemorrhage. The child..."

The thought that he, a prince, was raising a bastard child for another man made him so angry he could hardly breathe.

"The child should be removed as well."

An Yi thought to himself, "If we eliminate the children as well, I'm afraid people might... notice something."

The official statement is that Consort Xu made a mistake that displeased Prince Duan, leading to her removal from the position. However, the specifics of her mistake have not been disclosed.

If the Prince's mansion were to make a major move, and both the newly born concubine and the infant boy were to die mysteriously, those with ulterior motives might start to speculate about something.

Even if the recent revelations weren't orchestrated by someone with ulterior motives, the secrets of the Prince's Mansion will eventually be exposed.

After pondering for a moment, Prince Duan said, "After interrogating Ning, let's set a fire!"

It's not surprising that the mother and child were burned to death in the fire.

Upon hearing the Prince Duan's instructions, Ji Yunshuang, who was hiding in the space, became fully alert.

And such good things?

Isn't this an opportunity given to her by heaven?

The fire made it so easy for her to take advantage of the chaos.

After An Yi left the main hall, she also quietly came to Yuexin Courtyard.

There weren't many highly skilled guards in Yuexin Courtyard, but Ji Yunshuang didn't let her guard down. She still found a place to hide in her spatial dimension and used her mental power to investigate the situation inside.

In Yuexin Courtyard.

Lady Ning had just given birth and was now lying weakly in bed. The servants in the courtyard, seeing their mistress in labor, sent several people to invite the prince, but the prince didn't even glance at her, all feeling that Lady Ning was not valued.

After a long night's work, the servants should all take a break or rest.

Ning lay weakly on the bed, tears streaming down her face like beads. Just as she was crying her heart out, a dark figure suddenly appeared before her.

Ning was startled and said in a trembling voice, "Help...help! A thief has broken in!"

"You'd better not waste your time. I've already drugged all the servants in this courtyard."

As soon as An Yi spoke, Ning Shi recognized that it was a secret guard accompanying the prince.

Her fear grew, and she stammered, "What...what are you going to do? I...I am the prince's woman. If the prince finds out about this, you'll lose your head."

"It was the prince who sent me." An Yi said, "I think you'd better tell me honestly who you had an affair with and who gave birth to this bastard. If you tell me honestly, I can let you suffer less since you just gave birth."

Ning's pupils widened instantly, her eyes filled with panic and shock. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "You...you're lying! This is the prince's child. Do you have feelings for me and have designs on me?"

An Yi took out a bottle from his pocket, shook it, and said, "Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of being polite."

The moment Ning saw the bottle, her fear intensified. She struggled to get out of bed and tried to run outside, crying, "I want to see the Prince! Let me see the Prince! I'm innocent! You can't do this to me!"

"The prince doesn't want to see you." Ignoring her struggles, An Yi grabbed her, pinched her mouth shut, and held the bottle to her lips.

A large, reddish worm slowly crawled out of the bottle and headed towards her mouth.

Ning was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and said in a trembling voice, "I'll talk... I'll talk right now, you... you should take this insect away."
