Chapter 21: Pregnant, then miscarried!
Seeing Shen Ruoli's confident demeanor, Xie Xuanyin finally understood why Xie Xuansong had coaxed her into the Crown Prince's residence.
This woman is more than just beautiful.
If she wanted to use her cunning, I'm afraid few people could rival her!
No wonder he fell for her in his previous life!
Xie Xuanyin suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the days to come—he hoped that Shen Ruoli would continue to be so clever and continue to deal with him!
He wanted to see just how capable she really was!
"You've planned this very well."
Xie Xuanyin rarely affirmed her like this, "So you want to keep Qingying first, and then use Qingying to deal with Xie Xuansong?"
Shen Ruoli nodded, "As expected of Your Highness! So intelligent!"
Unfortunately, her attempt to flatter backfired.
“I am not a fool like you, who would be used to this extent.”
Xie Xuanyin snorted coldly.
Shen Ruoli blushed and awkwardly touched his nose. "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes! I was blinded by greed and misjudged people before, so please don't make fun of me, Your Highness."
"Why be afraid of being laughed at when you've already done it?"
Xie Xuanyin glanced at her, looking at her as if she were an idiot.
"Although you are very confident in your plan, how can you guarantee that Xie Xuansong won't just kill Qingying?"
Once Xie Xuansong kills Qingying, won't Shen Ruoli's plan fall apart?
"Your Highness, who said I only have Plan One?"
She always leaves room for maneuver and has alternative plans, okay?
Shen Ruoli shamelessly leaned her head on his shoulder, "Besides, Xie Xuansong would never kill Qingying! I guarantee it!"
"Um?"
"Yesterday, in a moment of desperation, Qingying threatened me, saying that if she died, Xie Xuansong would definitely not let me go! Because she was Xie Xuansong's first woman! And... she was pregnant with Xie Xuansong's child!"
"oh?!"
This news is indeed quite explosive!
Xie Xuanyin didn't even push her away, but only looked down at her in surprise, "Really?"
"I didn't believe it at first either, but people say good things when they're about to die, and she wouldn't lie to me about something like this."
Shen Ruoli yawned.
She has trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds.
Xie Xuanyin wasn't by her side last night either; she just couldn't get used to sleeping in the bed at the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
If she hadn't caught a cold and developed a fever, she would definitely have stayed awake all night.
I did manage to sleep for a while last night, but it wasn't a restful sleep.
The carriage was gently rocking, and she leaned against Xie Xuanyin again.
Inside the warm carriage, Xie Xuanyin was right beside her. His familiar presence relaxed Shen Ruoli's tense nerves, making her feel drowsy.
In her previous life, she never knew until the very end that Qingying was Xie Xuansong's first woman and had even been pregnant with his child!
After all, Qingying had never given birth to Xie Xuansong's child.
Perhaps in her previous life, it was during a fight with bandits at Tianzhao Mountain that Qingying suffered a miscarriage and lost her child.
However, at that time, she and Xie Xuanyin were seriously injured and remained unconscious for many days before waking up.
When she woke up, Qingying had already recovered completely.
Upon reflection, it seems that Ao-Ying's condition during that period was indeed much worse than usual.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't properly recovered from her miscarriage at that time.
Yesterday, Qingying was thrown off a cliff, and even though she was pregnant with Xie Xuansong's child, she could not keep it!
"But there's no need to worry now! Whether she's pregnant with Xie Xuansong's child or not, Xie Xuansong's first child is already gone! They've done so many evil deeds and are reaping what they sowed! It's better that this child isn't born; it's a way of atoning for their sins!"
Her child died at the hands of Xie Xuansong.
So in this life, she personally eliminated Xie Xuansong's first child!
Shen Ruoli originally did not want to be so cruel as to harm an innocent child.
But this time it turned out to be a lucky accident!
Moreover, with a father like Xie Xuansong, this child is destined not to be an upright person in the future!
It might even become a formidable opponent to her and Xie Xuanyin's child!
Shen Ruoli was also taking precautions, nipping the "bad consequences" in the bud, so that he wouldn't even have a chance to be born!
As she spoke, Shen Ruoli's eyelids became too heavy to lift, and she leaned against Xie Xuanyin's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing her even breathing, the dark glint in Xie Xuanyin's eyes gradually faded.
He gently covered her with the blanket, hesitated for a moment, then took her cold hands and placed them in his palm, his face a mixture of emotions as he warmed them.
If Chen Ruoli hadn't schemed against him, she would have been a good match for him, a qualified Crown Princess.
Together, they can wreak havoc and eliminate all enemies!
Unfortunately, having learned his lesson from his past life, Xie Xuanyin dared not trust her, and could not trust her!
He sighed silently, leaned against the carriage, and closed his eyes.
...
At this time, in the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
Xie Yuanxun took the lead and summoned his strategist and others to begin discussing the "Tianzhao Mountain Bandit Suppression" plan.
The door to the Prince's study was tightly shut, openly isolating Xie Xuansong from the outside.
Xie Xuansong didn't go forward to make a fool of himself, but instead turned and went to Qingying's room.
Before the doctor left, the old man's eyebrows were furrowed into a knot.
"This girl is seriously injured! I think your life is too miserable. It's bad enough that a girl like you is injured like this, but you also lost your baby. You don't take your body seriously at all!"
He muttered to himself as he applied medicine to Qingying.
Xie Xuansong paused as he reached the door.
He glanced back at the guard. "What child?"
The guard looked bewildered. "Your Highness, I don't know either."
He also heard the doctor say something about "child".
But Qingying isn't married yet, so how could she possibly have a child?
Suddenly realizing something, Xie Xuansong's expression changed, and he quickly entered the room. "Doctor, what did you just say? What? The baby is gone?"
He was so excited and anxious that he almost tripped over the threshold!
The doctor glanced at him and quickly stood up to pay his respects.
"Speak quickly!"
Xie Xuansong grabbed his collar, gritting his teeth as he asked impatiently, "What child?!"
The doctor was terrified by his ferocious appearance and stammered, "This, this girl was pregnant, but, but she miscarried, it's very, very tragic..."
Xie Xuansong was stunned!
He released the doctor, staring in disbelief at the unconscious Qingying, muttering to himself, "Pregnant? She's actually pregnant?"
The guards were also stunned and stood there.
Although he knew that Qingying was Xie Xuansong's person.
But he never imagined that Xie Xuansong's first child would be in Qingying's belly!
She even miscarried?!
Others may not know, but the guards know better than anyone how much Xie Xuansong wanted a child!
The Emperor currently has no eldest grandson.
If the Prince of Chu's residence has an eldest grandson before the Crown Prince's residence and others, they will have a better chance of winning!
"Your Highness..."
Seeing Xie Xuansong so distraught, the guards didn't dare to breathe and watched him cautiously. The words "please accept my condolences" were on the tip of their tongues, but they couldn't bring themselves to say them.
In this situation, it doesn't seem appropriate to say "please accept my condolences"!
How could she have a child?
Suddenly, Xie Xuansong's expression changed, and when he looked at Qingying again, his gaze was so fierce it seemed like he wanted to devour her. "How could she possibly have a child?!"
