Chapter 162 The Angry Princess and the Rough General 17
On the carriage back to the palace, Cha Jiu kept thinking about what the Queen said.
Shen Beizhan saw that she was distracted and held her hand tightly: "Ayuan, what's wrong?"
Could it be that the emperor reprimanded her again?
Or is it that Chu Mengwan is using some dirty tricks to offend people again?
Shen Beizhan became more and more disgusted with Chu Mengwan, and also began to complain about the biased emperor.
"I was wondering, could it be that the Emperor favors the Gong Prince siblings so much because they are the bloodline of the Emperor and Lin?"
Cha Jiu recounted everything the Queen said today and raised this question at the end.
Shen Beizhan pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. I always heard my father talk about the deep brotherly love between the emperor and Prince Gong. He often summoned Prince Gong and his wife to the palace to accompany him, and once they were in the palace, they would stay for half a month."
Half a month is enough for the emperor who holds the highest power to do whatever he wants.
Cha Jiu said: "It's just speculation without any evidence."
Shen Beizhan smiled lightly: "If you want to know, I can send someone to check."
Cha Jiu raised an eyebrow: "General Shen is so capable"
Shen Beizhan raised his chin and said, "I am capable of more than that."
——You will know soon.
Cha Jiu thought that what he said was just an ordinary remark.
When the carriage arrived at the general's mansion, Shen Beizhan jumped off first, then turned around, held Cha Jiu in his arms, and walked into the mansion in front of everyone.
The servants pretended not to see anything, turned their backs and continued to work while laughing secretly.
Cha Jiu thought Shen Beizhan had come to his senses, but he simply carried her to the dining table, put her down, and urged her to eat.
"You've been busy all day, you must be hungry. These are your favorite foods, eat more."
Shen Beizhan touched Cha Jiu's belly, his eyes full of heartache.
On the table were sweet and sour mandarin fish, crystal quail sashimi, jade glutinous lotus root... and the rouge rice porridge that Cha Jiu was used to eating.
Cha Jiu was surprised: "Didn't the rouge rice brought from the palace run out two days ago?"
Shen Beizhan didn't care: "If I can't pick the moon from the sky for you, then can't I buy this little bit of rouge rice? Eat it with confidence, it's enough."
He said it lightly.
But in fact, he put a lot of effort into it.
It took a lot of time and money, and in the end I still had to pay three times the price to buy it from the farmer.
However, he was unwilling to mention the twists and turns to Cha Jiu.
The men in their Shen family have always been like this, doing more and talking less.
Cha Jiu picked up her chopsticks to eat, but saw that Shen Beizhan didn't move. He just supported his head with one hand and looked at her.
She wondered, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
Shen Beizhan shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
Cha Jiu had no choice but to eat by himself.
After she finished eating and put down her chopsticks, Shen Beizhan still stared at her.
So she asked again: "Are you really not hungry?"
"Hungry." Shen Beizhan's eyes suddenly changed, "I've been hungry for a long time."
Cha Jiu handed him the chopsticks: "Then eat quickly."
"Okay." Shen Beizhan raised his lips, "Let's eat now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cha Jiu was picked up by him by the waist.
"Come on, Ayuan, I will take you to help you digest your food tonight."
…
This digestion has finally consumed all the food I ate tonight.
The stomach is empty and then filled, filled and then empty again.
The sun sets over the western hills, replaced by the silver moon hanging in the night sky. I quietly listen to the blushing and heart-pounding voices in the yard who are hesitant to speak and sob.
The slender hand trembled as it tried to pull open the curtain, but was clamped by a strong hand on the wrist and dragged back.
Cha Jiu was helpless, his voice was hoarse: "I want to rest for a while."
Shen Beizhan looked at her pitiful appearance and smiled: "Who said I am not majestic and incapable?"
Cha Jiu looked around, pretending to be stupid.
Shen Beizhan went a step further and threatened: "Beg me and I will let you go."
Cha Jiu was suspicious: "Really?"
"A real man cannot break his word"
Cha Jiu spoke hesitantly: "Please..."
"Who to ask"
"Husband, please..." Her voice was soft and sticky, like a sweet cake that oozes honey when opened.
The dark light in Shen Beizhan's eyes became even stronger.
A new round of conquest begins.
Cha Jiu sobbed: "You, you are lying!"
Shen Beizhan kissed her: "Ayuan, you have to remember that the good things I said to you were all true. If I said something bad to you, it must be false. So if I promised to let you go, it must be a lie."
"I will never let you go in my life."
The shadows of the trees sway.
The moonlight gradually faded.
Twilight is coming.
Before Cha Jiu passed out, the system quickly reminded her: "Cha Cha, don't sleep yet. Shen Beizhan's favorability has reached 70%. Do you want to use the fertility potion?"
Cha Jiu was exhausted: "Use the Dragon Phoenix Embryo Potion."
I can't bear it, I really can't bear it. I feel like I'd be letting this down if I don't have two.
"Hmm" Cha Jiu felt something was wrong, "How can you still know my progress? Don't you turn off your phone?"
The system chuckled and scratched its electronic head: "You can force me to shut down, but I still have the screen recording function..."
"Get lost."
"Okay." The system turned off the screen.
Cha Jiu lay on Shen Beizhan's chest and completely fainted.
…
It was also a night of passion, but things were extremely difficult at the Song residence.
Just after dusk, news came from the palace that Princess Roujia had contracted smallpox, and the emperor ordered her to go to the royal villa alone to recuperate.
At midnight, a simple sedan chair was quietly carried out of the palace and entered the back door of the Song Mansion.
The person sitting inside was Chu Mengwan.
No, now she should be called Chen Mengwan.
The emperor was furious. Not only did he strip her of her princess status, he even forbade her to use the surname "Chu". Instead, he made her the daughter of her wet nurse, Chen, who had died by hitting her head against her chest, a lowly pariah.
When the emperor made this decision, he still hoped that Chen Mengwan would change her mind.
But she accepted this result without hesitation because of her deep affection for Song Heng.
The emperor walked away without looking back at her.
When Song Heng received the secret order from the emperor's personal eunuch, he was so terrified that he knelt on the ground.
It's over. Everything is over.
The emperor's action must have made him fully aware of their secret plan to take over Chen Cang.
In the eyes of the emperor, isn't he a hypocritical gentleman with bad morals?
What will happen to his future and career?
Song Heng suddenly felt as if the world was collapsing.
He spoke with difficulty: "Eunuch Zhang, has the emperor given any instructions on how the princess should be...placed?"
Eunuch Zhang was very disdainful of such people and spoke in a contemptuous tone: "Lord Song, please be careful with your words. Chen is no longer a princess. You can do whatever you want with an orphan who sold herself to the Song family. But please remember..."
Song Heng raised his head and listened respectfully.
Eunuch Zhang sneered in his heart, saying, "Now that Lord Song has been awarded the chastity medal, he cannot marry or take concubines, and there should not be any rumors about women. As for Chen and the baby in her belly, Lord should know how to deal with it."
Song Heng was terrified: "Please tell me clearly, eunuch."
"Mrs. Chen cannot enjoy any status or honor, nor can she be pampered too much. She should not go out and show her face casually, causing people to speculate about her identity. Otherwise, the reputation of your chastity will be tarnished, and it will also affect the court and the emperor's holy name."
In other words, Chen Mengwan could only stay in the square backyard of the Song Mansion from now on, living an anonymous and nameless life, and she couldn't live too ostentatiously.
"My father-in-law is right."
"Also, the emperor does not like the child in Chen's belly, but in order not to hurt the relationship, I ask Lord Song to decide how to remove the child."
Song Heng felt heartbroken: "Yes."
The eunuch handed the box containing Chen Mengwan's indenture to Song Heng and left.
Song Heng was filled with mixed feelings. He came to the door of the room where Chen Mengwan was temporarily placed with the box in his hand, and only heard her sitting inside crying softly.
"Awan." He pushed the door open.
Chen Mengwan immediately threw herself into his arms, crying bitterly: "Brother Song, it's all my fault..."
If she had not secretly kept the child, her affair with Song Heng would not have been exposed.
Maybe she could even insist that she lost her virginity to Song Li, and use Song Li to marry into the Song family legally and live with Song Heng forever.
After all, Song Heng was not allowed to marry in this life, so her marrying Song Li into the mansion was a last resort.
But now, it's all ruined.
Thinking of this, Chen Mengwan became a little worried again: "Brother Song, will you dislike me and Song Li..."
Song Heng shook his head. His mind was now full of thoughts about what to do in the future, and he had no time to worry about these messy troubles.
Chen Mengwan breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled into his arms.
Song Heng was indeed a little annoyed at first because she ruined his future.
But after all, he is still my beloved.
His heart softened a little, and he held her and comforted her for half the night.
Chen Mengwan recovered from the day's fear and now, looking at the flickering candlelight and her lover by her side, she suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
She smiled with tears in her eyes, caressing her belly, with a gentleness on her lips: "Fortunately, this child is very sensible."
After going through so much, he still stayed in her belly.
Song Heng stared at her lower abdomen, his eyes alternating between light and dark, with an unclear meaning.
