The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

Chun Guiren's eyes darted around a few times, wondering if Miss Wen's words were credible. After thinking for a long time, she still felt that the credibility was not very high.

"Miss Wen, even if you're going to brag, you can't be this arrogant. You're obviously an unmarried young lady. Whether someone gets pregnant or not isn't something anyone can decide. Even your so-called gynecological experts can't guarantee someone will get pregnant just by doing their job."

Consort Chun simply continued eating the food on the table. This time, she was not in such a hurry. Instead, she savored the food slowly, picking out the things she didn't like as she ate.

"Alright, even if we take a step back and don't talk about whether I can get pregnant, even if I could get pregnant on the first try, can you bring the Emperor here for me? I can't get out anyway, and what kind of person is the Emperor? He wouldn't come to the small Buddhist hall and do 'that' with me, would he? Hehehe."

Because Consort Chun spoke too bluntly, even though Wenrou was a very decisive woman, she still showed the unease of an unmarried young lady in the face of such a statement.

“Noble Lady Chun, you don’t need to say such things. The Wen family always delivers on its promises. Just like this time, if it weren’t for the Wen family, you would already be dead by now.”

Chun Guiren paused with her chopsticks, then a smile appeared on her lips. She continued picking and choosing with her right hand while resting her left hand on her cheek.

“Miss Wen, you don’t need to threaten me. I’m here for a marriage alliance. Are you trying to provoke a conflict between our two countries by drinking poison on my journey?”

"Ha, do you think you're that important? Being sent here for a political marriage means your status is probably nothing special."

Seeing that Consort Chun was about to get angry, Wenrou quickly stopped the conversation and said, "Time is limited. I'm not here to argue with Your Highness. To get back to the point, if Your Highness wants to live or regain your rightful place, there is only one way: to get pregnant."

"Heh, pregnant? How do you get pregnant? Bring the Emperor over here!"

"Of course not, anyone other than the Emperor can do it."

Gentle's words startled Consort Chun, who looked at her in disbelief.

"What did you say? Did I hear you wrong?"

"No, of course, Your Highness can fake a pregnancy, but if the fake pregnancy is exposed, you will be at someone's mercy. Once that happens, Your Highness knows that you will have no chance of survival. However, if you are really pregnant, that's a different story."

"Is this your idea or Duke Wen's idea?" Consort Chun still found it somewhat ridiculous. "The Emperor isn't coming, but I'm pregnant. Are you blatantly asking me to tell the Emperor that I've cheated on him?"

"I thought our borderland people were more open-minded than Daqing, which is full of formalities. I never expected that such a bold person would stand in front of me. I was just too blind to see it. Miss Wen, if you had been this bold when you were pursuing Prince Chu, maybe he would have liked your type?"

Chu Li is a gentle red thread, but also a painful secret she cannot mention.

"Since Your Majesty thinks my idea is not a good idea, then so be it. Consider this trip as me coming to see Your Majesty."

After saying that, Wenrou was about to leave.

"No, no, let's talk this out." Only then did Consort Chun realize that Wenrou was truly angry, and she began to have some reservations.

"Does Your Highness intend to speak properly this time?"

"Oh my, my dear lady, it's not that I don't want to talk things out properly, but what you're saying is just too shocking. I'm not that conservative, but look around this harem, where are there any men besides the Emperor? Do you expect me to submit to a guard?"

"Of course not. Someone will come to visit the Empress Dowager in a couple of days, and he will come over then."

Consort Chun's eyes darted around, and she asked, "Who is it?"

"My brother."

Now that you've said all that, what doesn't Consort Chun understand? So this is where the Wen family's ambition lies.

"Don't worry, our Wen family only has this one legitimate son. We wouldn't joke around with our only legitimate son, would we? In the future... you'll have a good time."

Wenrou, unwilling to say more, got up and left. Chun Guiren stared thoughtfully at Wenrou's departing figure. She needed to think carefully. If she agreed to the Wen family's request this time, perhaps she could escape her current predicament as Wenrou had suggested. But what about the future…?

Soon the news from the palace reached the Chu Prince's residence.

"Was Consort Wang rescued?" Gu Qingwan asked.

"No, Consort Wang has miscarried and is on the verge of death."

Consort Wang's pregnancy is problematic. According to what Chang Le said, the child on Consort Wang's body is most likely the Second Prince's. The Emperor is a wise ruler, and he knows in his heart whether he has touched other women or not. However, given the Emperor's personality, how could he tolerate someone openly cuckolding him?

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it's obvious that Bafianyu and this Consort Wang have some kind of ambiguous relationship.

"How is Buffett doing now?"

"The Emperor and Prince Buffy talked for a long time in the Imperial Study. We couldn't find out the specific details, but the people outside didn't hear the Emperor getting angry inside. They only heard from Eunuch Fu that the Second Princess's marriage might be brought forward, and the wedding might be held there."

Upon hearing the news about the Second Princess, Ning Chengze paused slightly, a fact that Gu Qingwan naturally noticed.

"Stop asking around and let's wait and see." After she dismissed the servants, she saw Ning Chengze still lost in thought.

"Cousin, you and Princess Changning..."

"Huh?" Ning Chengze came to his senses and suddenly realized Gu Qingwan's implication. He immediately waved his hand and said, "What are you thinking? What could possibly happen between me and Princess Changning?"

"No, it's nothing. Then what's with that expression? I heard that Changning used to fawn over you and run all over the streets. And this time, she even came to my mansion to beg for your sake. Fortunately, you've already left and are no longer in the capital."

"What does that have to do with me? I've already avoided Princess Changning, otherwise why would there be people chasing me all over the streets?"

"By the way, someone saw you return to Beijing."

Ning Chengze said with disbelief, "How is that possible? I entered the capital secretly. I know some people are suspicious and have been trying to find out my identity, but I have avoided them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for you in the restaurant for so long without you showing up."

"No, you must have been careless and someone saw you. Otherwise, why would Madam Song have plotted against you and Changning?"

"What, Lady Song? How did she get involved with the Second Princess again?"

Ning Chengze was completely bewildered by Gu Qingwan's words.

Seeing that he really didn't know, Gu Qingwan briefly told him the news that Master Huang had just sent over. After hearing it, Ning Chengze didn't know how to describe the matter.
