Yun Hao nodded to Yan Gang: "Tell the princess everything."

Yan Gang remained silent for a while before slowly recounting his experiences after arriving in Yuncheng.

Just as Yun Hao and Su Ruojin had said before, after he became the top scholar in the imperial examination, he caught the eye of Princess Anxing, who wanted him to marry her.

He originally intended to refuse by saying that he was already married, but the Second Prince stopped him. In order to save Qinniang and the child's lives, Yan Gang had no choice but to endure it.

“But I think the prince consort is really enjoying this kind of life. He can’t even control himself when the princess is pregnant.” Su Ruojin looked at Yan Gang coldly.

The reason she targeted Yan Gang was because she knew that when Princess Anxing was pregnant, Yan Gang couldn't control himself, which caused Princess Anxing to bleed uncontrollably.

Often, men say one thing but do another. She never just listens to what others say, but observes what they do!

If a man doesn't like a woman, how could he not control his lower body during her pregnancy?

Yan Gang looked somewhat confused. "What do you mean by that, Princess? I didn't do anything out of line during your pregnancy."

"No? If not, why would Princess Anxing bleed so much from excessive marital relations?"

Yan Gang was taken aback. "Does the princess mean that the princess had marital relations during her pregnancy?"

“Not only is it happening, it’s excessive. If this continues, the baby might not survive.” Su Ruojin stared intently at Yan Gang.

In fact, if Princess Anxing hadn't been a princess and had been nourished by various precious medicinal herbs, her unborn child would have been miscarried long ago.

Upon hearing this, Yan Gang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, which left Su Ruojin and Yun Hao somewhat bewildered.

“Princess, since you and the Second Prince are good friends, I will not hide it from you. I have never touched Princess Anxing since I married her!”

Upon hearing Yan Gang's words, Su Ruojin and Yun Hao exchanged bewildered glances, as this was an answer they had never anticipated.

Yan Gang continued, "Princess Anxing forced me to marry her, but I didn't want to touch her at all. I secretly prepared aphrodisiac powder and gave it to her while we were drinking the wedding wine on our wedding day."

At this point, Yan Gang looked at Su Ruojin and said, "The princess is a doctor, so she should know the effects of the aphrodisiac."

Su Ruojin nodded and explained to the bewildered Yun Hao, "After taking this medicine, people will have the illusion of being intimate with someone, but in fact nothing happens."

“Yes, after that, whenever the princess came to my room, I would find a way to get her to take the medicine. Unexpectedly, half a month later, the princess told me that she was pregnant.” A mocking smile appeared on Yan Gang’s lips.

“I have never touched her, so how could she be pregnant, and so quickly? I investigated in secret and found out that this An Xing is a dissolute man who has been having an affair with the guards around him and has been keeping several male lovers in secret.”

An Xing became pregnant before marriage and did not know who the father of the child was. In a fit of rage, Empress Sun killed all of An Xing's guards and male favorites.

She originally wanted Anxing to abort the fetus, but after the imperial physician's diagnosis, he said that Anxing was physically weak and might only have this one child in his life. If he aborted the fetus, he might have difficulty conceiving in the future.

That's why the idea of ​​finding a husband for Princess Anxing as quickly as possible came up, and I became the scapegoat chosen by Empress Sun.

Yan Gang paused, his eyes filled with even more resentment, "At first I was very happy, thinking that I had evidence of An Xing's infidelity and could force her to divorce me. I never expected that after An Xing took aphrodisiacs, she would say that if I dared to leave her, she would definitely kill my wife and children in Tangzhou."

Only then did I realize that Anxing had known all along that I was married and had children. I knew she was a cruel person by nature, and that she meant what she said. For the safety of Qinniang and the child, I had no choice but to pretend to be greedy for wealth and status, that I only had eyes for the princess, and to fawn over her.

Once An Xing gradually believed that I had forgotten my wife and children in Tangzhou and relaxed his control over me, I secretly sent someone back to Tangzhou to bring Qinniang and her child out and settle them in a safe place. After everything settled down, I would go and pick them up.

Unexpectedly, my men arrived in Tangzhou but couldn't find her at all. When they returned, they told me that Qinniang was pregnant and had left Tangzhou with her daughter, disappearing without a trace.

"Qinniang is a frail woman, pregnant, and with my young daughter to take care of her. Where can they go?"

At this point, Yan Gang closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of tears streamed down his face.
