"It will be alright. Be good and get the medicine first." Yu Jingchen naturally knew he couldn't be soft-hearted, so he didn't let Nan Zhiyun have her way.
"Please..." Nan Zhiyun pleaded.
Yu Jingchen looked at her without saying a word for a long time. Just then, Xinglai returned at that moment.
"Your Majesty, we haven't found anything out..." A quarter of an hour had passed, but the palace maid said nothing.
"Then let's not keep it. Cut it open and find the paper." Yu Jingchen had no patience to waste with them now.
“Yes…” Xinglai agreed.
The words "opening up" filled Nan Zhiyun with fear. She thought of the child from her previous life... that child was gone before she even knew he was coming... In the days that followed, she would think of these things every time she dreamed, constantly feeling guilty for not protecting that child.
"I don't want to... stay... okay?" Nan Zhiyun looked at him pitifully.
"...No, we can't keep her. Let's wait for next time, okay?" Yu Jingchen had tried his best to control his emotions. Actually, he could force Nan Zhiyun to have an abortion, but he hesitated. Nan Zhiyun in her current state... couldn't bear it.
“I will hate you… Don’t abort, please try? Try to keep him…” Nan Zhiyun had no other choice.
Hate him? This word seemed to provoke Yu Jingchen, his eyes instantly turning terrifying, and he also increased the strength in his hands.
Nan Zhiyun also sensed it, and a feeling of fear suddenly filled her heart, but she dared not back down.
"Is the child that important? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen's tone was unreadable, but Nan Zhiyun felt inexplicably afraid.
"Didn't you not want to stay before?" Yu Jingchen pressed on.
“…Your Majesty was supposed to stay.” Nan Zhiyun didn’t know where she got the courage to say this.
Yu Jingchen was so angry he laughed. What kind of twisted logic was he spouting here?
"Nan Zhiyun, what right do you think you have to choose? What right do you have to say you're unwilling? When I just said these things to you, did you really think I was discussing them with you?" Yu Jingchen was very irritable, so it was natural for him to say such things.
Nan Zhiyun's already pale face became even more terrifying at this moment.
"You hate me? So what? How does that affect me? What can you do to me? You're just all talk. What skills do you have?" Yu Jingchen's tone was unfriendly.
Nan Zhiyun was speechless after being rebuked by these words, and felt a strange bitterness in her heart.
Seeing Nan Zhiyun's current defeated state, Yu Jingchen felt a little touched.
But before he could feel sorry for himself, the palace servants brought up the prepared abortion medicine.
"Your Majesty, the medicine is ready," the palace servant said. Nan Zhiyun already guessed what kind of medicine it was, and her face showed obvious resistance.
"I won't drink it..." Nan Zhiyun stared at Yu Jingchen, trying to make him retract his order. Yu Jingchen ignored her and took the bowl of medicine. Nan Zhiyun was somewhat frightened. He grabbed her, and Nan Zhiyun tried to back away, but she couldn't escape.
"I drank it." Yu Jingchen coldly uttered these two words.
"No..." Nan Zhiyun tried to back away, but she couldn't escape or break free.
"Don't make me have someone force you to drink it all later." Yu Jingchen's expression clearly indicated that he wouldn't allow you to refuse.
"I'm in pain..." Nan Zhiyun's eyes were filled with tears, trying to stir up even the slightest emotion in Yu Jingchen's heart.
Yu Jingchen looked at her without saying anything, and didn't hand over the medicine in his hand. She hoped that Yu Jingchen could have a little pity for her.
"Drinking it will make you feel better, hmm?" Yu Jingchen seemed unmoved. Nan Zhiyun shook her head; she couldn't drink it, she didn't want to. Yu Jingchen's agitation grew stronger, and seeing her resistance, he clenched his fists tighter.
Nan Zhiyun was unwilling; she leaned back, and Yu Jingchen released her. She clutched her stomach, feeling intense pain inside. It really hurt… It had been much better just now, but perhaps because she was too emotional, the pain started again.
Yu Jingchen remained silent, watching Nan Zhiyun tremble with fear. After a long while, he finally put down the bowl of medicine in his hand, stood up, and if one listened carefully, one could hear a barely perceptible sigh from him.
"Come here," Yu Jingchen said to Nan Zhiyun, but Nan Zhiyun didn't dare to come over. Instead, she stepped back.
Yu Jingchen was enraged by Nan Zhiyun's action. Suppressing his anger, he repeated, "I'll say it one last time: come here, don't hide. Otherwise, you know the consequences, right?"
Nan Zhiyun looked at him with fear, her heart filled with more distrust than trust, so she didn't make a move.
Yu Jingchen began counting down from "three," and Nan Zhiyun shook her head at him.
But he acted as if he couldn't see it, and continued counting to the next number, even raising his voice to "two".
Nan Zhiyun's heart leaped at the countdown. Yu Jingchen stared at her intently and said, "This is your last chance. Are you coming by yourself or what? You need to know that if I don't want you to, you can't escape. So, are you coming by yourself?"
Nan Zhiyun naturally understood this principle as well. Under his gaze, Nan Zhiyun seemed to have compromised. She slowly moved closer and closer to him, and Yu Jingchen watched as she got closer and closer.
This bowl of medicine was in front of her. She really wanted to overturn it, but she didn't have the courage.
