Inside the embassy, Zhao Yi sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at the still unconscious Shen Hanshan, and sighed, "This time I have truly lost both my wife and my army!"
He had always thought that his younger sister was a sentimental person who would stay with one man forever. He never expected that she would actually consummate her marriage with that Imperial Nobleman Jun Yunzhang and even have his child.
It seems that Shen Hanshan's previous efforts were all in vain.
"Cough cough—" The person on the bed slowly woke up.
Shen Hanshan touched his face; the tight, dry feeling had disappeared. He realized that Zhao Yi had helped him remove the mask.
"Awake?" Zhao Yi said with a smile. "I have some good news, would you like to hear it?"
"Go ahead and say it. But I don't think you'll be able to say anything good." Shen Hanshan replied irritably.
He tried to move his body, but accidentally aggravated his wound, and immediately gasped. The wound was really painful!
"She is pregnant," Zhao Yi said calmly.
"That's a good thing." Shen Hanshan sighed, feeling a little relieved. He and Zhizhi's third child was about to meet them.
However, Zhao Yi added insult to injury at this moment: "The child's father is not you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hanshan's face instantly turned gloomy.
He stared wide-eyed at Zhao Yi, trying to confirm if the news was true. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain, as if his wound had been ripped open. He couldn't help but groan, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Is the news accurate?" he asked with difficulty, his voice trembling slightly.
Zhao Yi nodded, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Shen Hanshan tried to sit up, but failed several times. His restlessness caused blood to seep from his wound again, staining the gauze red. He reluctantly lay back down, his heart filled with complex emotions.
"The imperial physician said it in front of everyone."
Shen Hanshan frowned slightly: "Have you found out? Whose child is it?"
There was a slight tremor in his voice.
Zhao Yi sighed softly, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes: "It belongs to Yun Zhang."
He answered simply, then added, "The imperial physician said that Zhizhi is more than two months pregnant, and according to the information I have gathered, she and Yunzhang have been married for more than two months."
After a pause, he offered his guess: "It seems that my younger sister has truly fallen for him."
Shen Hanshan closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment.
He once thought he could control everything, but he never expected that he would ultimately be defeated by his feelings. His relationship with Zhao Yi was already complicated, and now it has become even more complicated.
"I need time." When he opened his eyes again, Shen Hanshan's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was also tinged with exhaustion.
“You have plenty of time.” Zhao Yi stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside.
"I will have the imperial physicians take good care of you until you recover. As for other matters, we can discuss them later."
Shen Hanshan remained silent; perhaps he had underestimated his opponent.
He placed his hand on his heart, feeling as if everything he had done that day had been a complete farce. He felt that all his efforts had been in vain, and the wound in his heart ached more than the one on his body.
"I know you're not feeling well," Zhao Yi said softly, his voice tinged with helplessness and a sigh. He understood the immense pressure the person before him was under, but what had happened was done, and they had to face reality.
Shen Hanshan remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head. He took a deep breath and said, "What you said before, I... I agree." These words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, but his eyes showed no sign of backing down.
"If only you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Women are the most untrustworthy of all." Zhao Yi sighed and sat down again on the edge of the bed. "Tomorrow, I will set off back to Da Xuan. You stay here and take good care of yourself. Remember, don't forget our plan."
Just then, a figure flashed past outside. The figure was incredibly fast, like a ghost, and vanished into the darkness in an instant.
