Chapter 15: The Truth Behind the Determination to Kill One's Own Child

"What do you mean by this?" Princess Ning Le staggered back several steps.

She never expected that the prince consort would utter such hurtful words.

"Because my child was killed by you ten years ago," Lan Zhizhang laughed.

"What child?" Princess Ning Le still looked bewildered.

"You had a child before?"

"What are you pretending for! If you hadn't sent people to threaten my parents and kill my wife Yue Niang, how could I have agreed to become your son-in-law?" Lan Zhizhang said with a face full of resentment.

"Do you know that Yue Niang was already eight months pregnant at the time? The people you sent actually knocked the child out of her womb. Two lives lost."

"I will never have children with you in this lifetime. You are not worthy!"

Princess Ning Le swayed slightly.

Lan Yue quickly helped her up.

Yu Ningyao, who had been left aside, climbed to a safe spot to watch the show.

"I knew you had a wife and children, and I have never done such a thing. Don't make false accusations!" Princess Ning Le said angrily.

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Do you know why, despite our good health all these years, we've never had any children?" Lan Zhizhang's smile became increasingly distorted.

"Because, it's never been me who shared a room with you."

These words struck Princess Ning Le like a bolt from the blue, knocking her unconscious.

"Princess, Princess!" Lan Yue was terrified. She put Yu Ningyao aside and quickly asked the other two palace maids to help the princess back to her room.

Then he ordered someone to call back Physician He, who had previously fled after noticing something was wrong.

Physician He had just arrived at the entrance of the princess's residence, almost ready to board the carriage, but he still couldn't leave and had no choice but to resign himself to treating the princess.

Lan Zhizhang and Wanxing were both apprehended by the guards of the mansion and imprisoned.

Lan Yue then sent someone to the palace to inform the Imperial Concubine of the matter.

She was so busy that she forgot about Yu Ningyao.

Yu Ningyao was stunned by this huge revelation and hid under the table, urging the system to find out exactly what happened.

Princess Ning Le seems like a nice person, so why would she steal someone else's husband and even kill their wife and children? This doesn't make sense.

[Also, what do you mean by saying that the one who shared a room with the princess was never him?]

This is outrageous!

The system was also greatly shocked.

We need to investigate what happened immediately.

Soon, it learned the whole story.

[What Lan Zhizhang said is true, but it wasn't Princess Ning Le who killed his wife and children, but Princess Ning Le's mother, Consort Huo.]

Princess Ning Le fell in love with the third-ranked scholar, Lan Zhizhang, at first sight and told her mother.

[After her mother learned that Lan Zhizhang was already married in his hometown, she immediately ordered him to divorce his wife. Lan Zhizhang refused, so Consort Huo intervened and made the decision for him.]

She did this behind Princess Ning Le's back.

Yu Ningyao's eyes widened.

Good heavens, Consort Huo has brought ruin upon herself after harming others.

She probably never imagined Lan Zhizhang would do something like this.

What happened next that Lan Zhizhang said?

What do you mean by saying that he wasn't the one who shared a room with the princess? Wasn't it said that the child in the princess's belly was his?

Yu Ningyao's little head was about to explode with thoughts.

Uh…

The system was unsure whether it should tell her or not.

The host is still a baby, and this melon seems unsuitable for children.

If you don't tell me, I'll just give up.

Don't post any new tasks anymore, I don't want to do this anymore.

【Humph. 】

Yu Ningyao turned over and covered her ears.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"

The system is most afraid of her going on strike.

After all, if it fails to complete its tasks and its performance is at the bottom, it will be sent for destruction.

[Except for their wedding night, Lan Zhizhang always had someone else take his place in sharing a room with the princess.]

He found a mute slave with a similar build to him and fed him a drug that would prevent him from having children.

He locked the mute slave under the princess's bedchamber, releasing him only when they needed to consummate their marriage.

[This time, the child was conceived because he got drunk and slept with the princess.]

After hearing the whole story, Yu Ningyao was dumbfounded.

This plot is absurd; even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film it like this.

……

When Consort Huo Zhenzhen learned of this, she was so angry that she fainted.

"This scoundrel, how dare he! I will have him torn to pieces!"

Huo Zhenzhen ordered her trusted nanny to go to the princess's residence to take care of Princess Ning Le.

She didn't trust anyone else.

"Remember, those two, don't let either of them get away." She gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Yes." Upon receiving the message, Lin Mama went to Princess Ning Le's residence.

When she arrived, the princess had already woken up.

Princess Ning Le had summoned Lan Zhizhang and interrogated him thoroughly. Upon learning that the man she had slept with was a mute slave, she was filled with shame and indignation and wanted to commit suicide.

Fortunately, Lin Mama arrived in time to stop them.

"Granny, I don't want to live anymore." Princess Ning Le hugged her waist, her face covered in tears.

Granny Lin felt sorry for her and gently patted her back.

“Princess, it’s not you who deserves to die, it’s that bastard.”

"Granny, it was Mother who made it, wasn't it?" Princess Ning Le looked at her with teary eyes.

Granny Lin nodded and sighed:

"You are the apple of the Imperial Concubine's eye. She only has you as her child, and she will do whatever you want. Please don't resent her."

"Why didn't she tell me that Lan Zhizhang was already married? If I had known, why would I have insisted on marrying him?" Princess Ning Le became agitated.

"Did Mother think about the future when she did this? He holds a grudge against me, so how can we grow old together?"

“He tacitly agreed!” Granny Lin said with disgust when she mentioned Lan Zhizhang.

"When the Empress found him, she asked him if he was willing to marry you. He didn't say no, but only made excuses by saying that he already had a wife at home. The Empress asked him if he would marry you if his wife were gone. He remained silent."

"If he had simply said that he only wanted his wife and would not remarry, how could Your Majesty have become the villain?"

Princess Ning Le was speechless.

Her once bright eyes turned gray.

She couldn't resent her mother, after all, her mother had done everything for her.

If only she hadn't said she wanted to marry Lan Zhizhang...

Seeing that she didn't speak anymore, Lin Mama assumed that she wanted to be alone, so she went to take care of Lan Zhizhang and Wanxing.

Lan Zhizhang, realizing that his scheme had been exposed, had no desire to live any longer.

Therefore, when Granny Lin brought him the poisoned wine, he drank it down without hesitation.

Seeing that they had all breathed their last, Lin Mama returned to the palace to report.

But as soon as she left, Princess Ning Le chose to commit suicide once again.

"Father, Mother, your unfilial son is taking his leave first." Princess Ning Le's eyes were filled with tears as she raised her hand to stab the golden hairpin into her throat.

"No!" Yu Ningyao hurriedly crawled out from under the bed.

Previously, Lan Yue and the others hadn't bothered to take care of her.

She then crawled back to the princess's room and hid under the bed.

"Hug me!" She struggled to climb onto the bed with her short legs.

Princess Ning Le was the most innocent person; she shouldn't have died like this.

Seeing how hard she was trying to stop her, Princess Ning Le could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

She threw away the gold hairpin and hugged the dirty Yu Ningyao tightly.

"You are my lucky star. You have saved my life again."

Hearing the commotion, Lan Yue rushed in.

Seeing the gold hairpin lying on the ground, how could she not understand?

She ran over crying and knelt by the bedside: "Princess, please, don't do anything rash. You must live."

Yu Ningyao, who was being held tightly in her arms, said in a muffled voice, "Live. Live well."

Upon hearing this, Princess Ning Le burst into tears.

That night, she fell ill.

……

After Yu Ningyao was taken to the princess's residence.

Cui Ruixin kept a close eye on the movements of the princess's residence.

After news spread that the prince consort had suddenly died of a serious illness, Princess Ning Le had fallen ill from excessive grief.

She immediately sent people to spread the news throughout the Marquis's residence.

When the old Marquis and his wife asked about it, she said with lingering fear, "Luckily, we didn't bring that child back. That child was really strange. He only stayed at the princess's residence for two days before the prince consort died and the princess fell ill."
