The intense pain caused Shen Yunjin to collapse to the ground, clutching her stomach. She could clearly feel something quietly slipping away from her body.

Shen Yunjin cried out in terror, "Your Highness, quickly, quickly summon the imperial physician! Save our child! Save our child!"

No matter how much Shen Yunjin cried and begged, Xiao Yuncheng remained unmoved.

Originally, he was also full of anticipation for the child in Shen Yunjin's womb.

However, his position as crown prince was deposed, and this was inextricably linked to Shen Yunjin!

If Shen Yunjin hadn't harbored malicious intentions and drugged Shen Yuan, the wine he poured for Xiao Yunfei wouldn't have contained poison, but only aphrodisiacs.

According to his plan, Xiao Yunfei should drink the wine laced with aphrodisiacs, then roll around in bed with a palace maid at the palace banquet, only to be caught in the act by him, along with his father and mother, thus confirming his daytime debauchery.

In that case, the Emperor and Empress would be disappointed in Xiao Yunfei.

Xiao Yunfei only lost the favor of his father and mother, but he did not die. Therefore, he does not have to bear the scandal of killing his younger brother, and he is still the crown prince!

Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Yuncheng felt only intense disgust and hatred towards Shen Yunjin, and had no patience to continue playing along with her!

Xiao Yuncheng said coldly, "Wipe the blood off the ground yourself and go back to your courtyard. If you want to see the imperial physician, you'll have to find someone to go to the palace and beg him yourself!"

After saying that, Xiao Yuncheng smiled gently at Wang Qingxi: "It's too dirty here, let's go!"

dirty?

Xiao Yuncheng actually thought the blood on her body was dirty?

Shen Yunjin clutched her stomach, crying out in a mixture of hatred and despair, "Doesn't Your Highness find her, a prostitute fallen into prostitution, dirty and disgusting?"

Wang Qingxi lagged half a step behind, glanced back at Shen Yunjin, her eyes filled with deep mockery and hatred.

"You're calling me a prostitute?"

"But now you're not even as good as a prostitute!"

“You…” Shen Yunjin pointed at Wang Qingxi through gritted teeth, but the pain in her abdomen prevented her from uttering a single word.

Wang Qingxi crouched down and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Shen Yunjin, you're the one who sent me to hell, so how could I let you live happily? I'm so happy that you finally found me after hiding in Feiyan Hall for so long. From now on, you'll stay with me in this dark and gloomy mire!"

By the time the maid arrived with the royal physician, Shen Yunjin's unborn child was already beyond saving.

Moreover, because she bumped into the corner of the table, the imperial physician said that Shen Yunjin would have difficulty conceiving again in the future.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Yunjin's eyes widened in fury, and she vomited blood and fainted.

The man standing on the rooftop let out a soft scoff as he smelled the strong stench of blood in the air.

Xiao Yuncheng did not kill his own brother, but he did kill his own flesh and blood... He was still as selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless as ever.

As for Shen Yunjin, she dared to do such a despicable thing as drugging Shen Yuan with aphrodisiacs, and now she has ended up like this, which is entirely her own fault and she has brought it upon herself.

Xiao Ling dared not imagine what would have happened if Shen Yuan hadn't been alert and noticed Shen Yunjin's treachery. She wondered which man's bed Shen Yunjin would have sent her to.

Just imagining it made Xiao Ling feel a surge of anger, making him want to kill Shen Yunjin with a single blow.

It's far too lenient of her to simply lure away the guards of Feiyan Hall and let her discover Wang Qingxi's existence!

——

Xiao Yuncheng and Wang Qingxi spent the night together, and he was still not up when the palace eunuch came to the mansion to announce the imperial decree the next day.

As a result, the final imperial edict was delivered by Xiao Yuncheng's bedside.

When Xiao Yunyan arrived and saw this scene, she was immediately furious. After driving Wang Qingxi away, she grabbed Xiao Yuncheng and scolded him earnestly, "Father not only deposed you from your position as crown prince, but also took back your current salary and residence. He also sent an imperial edict to Qingyun Mountain, summoning the Ninth Prince back to the palace. How can you still be in the mood to sleep?"

"Don't you think of a way to show your filial piety to your mother? In short, don't let your father forget about you!"

Xiao Yuncheng leaned against Xiao Yunyan's shoulder and murmured, "Father is heartless, Mother is biased, but my elder sister is the best. She has always been on my side."

Xiao Yunyan curled the corners of her lips: "Now I only have you as my younger brother. If I don't side with you, who else should I side with?"

After a pause, Xiao Yunyan continued, "Although you and I both know that Xiao Ling is long dead, Father doesn't know, nor do the officials. Aren't you afraid that Father and the officials will all recommend Xiao Ling to ascend the throne?"

"What's the point of them recommending a dead man? Do they think they can put that bastard Xiao Ling's memorial tablet on the dragon throne?"

Xiao Yuncheng laughed heartily.

Xiao Yunyan knew this was impossible. She pursed her lips and continued, "Sixth brother is gone. These past few days, Father has been overwhelmed with worry, and several strands of his hair have turned white. I suddenly feel that Father has aged."

"He's getting old!"

Because his position as crown prince had been revoked, Xiao Yuncheng was filled with resentment. "Father is fifty years old and should have abdicated long ago!"

"He kept occupying his spot and wouldn't move, which made my sixth brother resentful, causing us brothers to fight each other. In the end, it was all his fault."

"Watch your words!" Xiao Yunyan held up a finger to Xiao Yuncheng's lips, telling him not to say such treasonous things.

But Xiao Yuncheng took her hand and asked, "Is Your Majesty willing to help me?"

"If you help me ascend the throne, I will bestow upon my elder sister the title of Princess, making you the most honored woman in the Great Yan Kingdom, and allowing you to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunyan hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Father is getting old, and I can't bear to see him always worrying about state affairs. When the time comes, we'll give him a good talking to, so he won't get hurt!"
