Chapter 142 Your Child
Their eyes met, Yun Wan was speechless.
The tears that overflowed due to heavy emotions stopped in her eyes, wanting to fall but not falling, and she stared blankly at the man who woke up.
Emperor Jingxuan's eyes were narrow and long, and a faint smile appeared on his pale face when he saw this. "Silly Madam, why are you still crying?"
He slowly raised his hand, and his rough fingertips touched the corners of Yun Wan's eyes, stroking them gently.
Yun Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears instantly overflowed, wetting his fingertips with warmth.
Emperor Jingxuan wiped them carefully, his tone revealing a hint of joy: "Are these tears shed for me?"
He stared at Yun Wan with a burning gaze.
Yun Wan turned her face away and curled her lips: "No, it's just that there is sand in my eyes."
Hearing this, the man was not disappointed, but his smile deepened.
Madam, why don’t you come up with a better excuse? Where did the sand in this hall come from?
The lady cried for him.
It’s just that Madam is too shy to admit it.
Unable to withstand his increasingly blunt and explicit gaze, Yun stood up and said, "You're awake. I'll go get the imperial physician!"
As she finished speaking, she turned around, but her wrist was grabbed.
Emperor Jingxuan: "Don't go, I'm fine...hiss."
The movement was too large and instantly affected the wound on his shoulder.
Yun Wan's heart tightened, and she held his hand instead, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
She carefully examined the bandaged area, observing whether there was any blood seeping through the cloth.
"...It's fine." Emperor Jingxuan endured the pain and pretended to be relaxed, "I'm fine... It's just a minor injury. I'll be fine after a few days of rest. Madam, there's no need to worry."
Yun Wan stared at the forbearance between his brows and the pale color of his lips, not quite believing it.
Still worried, she said, "I'll call the imperial physician."
Emperor Jingxuan relaxed his expression and shook his head to refuse: "You are not allowed to go."
When he called the imperial physician, a large group of people came, which wasted his time alone with his wife.
So before Yun Wan opened her mouth, he looked at her and said in a serious tone, "I want to hear it."
"I want to hear it from your own mouth." His voice was slightly hoarse.
Even though he had a clear answer in his mind, Emperor Jingxuan still wanted to hear his wife admit it in person.
Yun Wan had no choice but to give up calling the imperial physician.
Emperor Jingxuan was temporarily unable to move and could not get up, so she found a slightly lower round stool to sit on.
Yun Wan poured a cup of warm water and carefully fed it to him with a jade spoon to moisten his throat, saying in a low voice: "You guessed right, Asui's father..."
She paused, looked up at him, and as if she had made up her mind, she told him the secret she had kept in her heart for five years.
"Indeed, it is you, Your Majesty."
"A Sui is your child."
Once the secret that had been hidden for five years was revealed, Yun Wan suddenly felt relieved. The huge rock that was weighing on her heart disappeared, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that difficult to say it out loud, especially since he already knew it.
"Hahahaha, I knew it—"
A hearty laugh suddenly rang out in the huge and quiet palace, and it sounded a bit scary at first.
Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard, and beads of sweat appeared on Emperor Jingxuan's forehead. It was obvious that his laughter had affected his wound.
Yun Wan was even more worried. "Don't laugh. Be careful with your wound."
"No, it's okay, I'm just too happy."
Emperor Jingxuan looked at her deeply, with nothing else in his eyes.
The blood that surged from laughing added a bit of redness to his complexion, and his sharp eyes were bright and energetic.
Yun Wan took out a handkerchief and gently pressed it against his forehead, listening quietly as he said, "I'm happy. Chang Sui is my child. I'm happy. I can finally hear Madam admit it herself. I'm so happy!"
His heart was beating like a drum, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't help but hold Yun Wan's hand tightly.
Yun Wan knew that he was very happy, but——
"If you don't take care of your wound, I'm going to call the imperial physician!"
Seeing a few streaks of blood seeping out of the white cloth, anger appeared between her brows, her expression was unhappy, and her tone became heavier.
Looking at her angry little face, Emperor Jingxuan curved his lips and said, "Listen to my wife, I won't laugh anymore, ha——"
“.........”
In the end, Yun Wan called the imperial physician. After the imperial physicians examined the wound, the bleeding stopped and Emperor Jingxuan calmed down.
Yun Wan was busy running around, and Emperor Jingxuan saw it all. His heart was filled with tenderness in his eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am." When he spoke, his voice was so low and tender that it made people's ears numb.
Yun Wan shook her head, "It's not hard."
She has long been skilled in taking care of people. Even if she is a little unfamiliar with it, she is more skilled than ordinary people.
Emperor Jingxuan also knew this very well, and his impression of Lu San, whom he had never met before, became even worse.
He took Yun Wan's hand and placed it on his chest, "Madam, what happened back then? I want to know."
Although he could check it himself, he wanted to hear it from Yun Wan himself.
There was no need to hide it anymore, so Yun Wan lowered her eyes and slowly explained, "I didn't lie to you. I did drink the contraceptive soup after I returned home that night."
"I only drank two sips before vomiting in discomfort. I was afraid of attracting attention, so I didn't dare drink any more."
At that time, she was also hoping for luck, thinking that it was just a one-time thing and she probably wouldn't get pregnant. After all, she had been married to Lu Fenglan for more than a year and there was no sign of pregnancy.
She didn't know who was having problems, maybe both of them.
She lowered her eyes and lost herself in reminiscence. "After that, my husband's condition worsened, and I forgot about this matter."
Realizing that he didn't like this name, Yun Wan used 'he' to represent Lu Fenglan.
Sure enough, the man's brow relaxed.
Yun Wan continued in a gentle voice, "Mrs. Lu did hope that I could leave him a descendant, but he is seriously ill..."
She paused, "Since you are not capable of sex, I will not force you."
After saying this, she pursed her lips to hide her slight embarrassment.
In fact, Yun Wan didn't want to get pregnant at all at that time. Anyone could see that Lu Fenglan was at the end of his strength and didn't have much time left.
At that time, she planned to remain chaste for half a year after Lu Fenglan's death, which would be considered as completing this marriage. After that, she would leave the Lu family, become an independent woman, and start living her own life.
If she had a child, she would be trapped in Duke Lu's mansion for the rest of her life.
Yun Wan was unwilling.
In other words, Lu San is a wimp.
Emperor Jingxuan couldn't help but despise him.
No wonder I can’t make my wife emotional.
Suppressing his disdain for the wimp, he suppressed his excitement and asked, "What happened next? How did Madam discover she was pregnant? And how did she hide it from those people?"
Yun Wan: "Not long after his funeral, I fainted. When I woke up, I found out I was pregnant."
Emperor Jingxuan frowned: "Fainted? Why did he faint?"
"Just overworked."
Her tone was calm, and it sounded like a very common reason.
But Emperor Jingxuan's eyes were sharp and he immediately noticed that her reaction was not right, and he seemed reluctant to mention it.
"Madam, I want to hear the truth." He deliberately put on a stern face and looked cold.
Yun Wan moved her lips, and after a while she whispered, "Actually, I overheard the conversation between the old lady and the nanny."
"What did they say?" Emperor Jingxuan asked.
Dust-forgotten memories flooded into Yun Wan's mind, and fear appeared in her eyes. The hand held by Emperor Jingxuan trembled slightly, and her voice was as hard as if squeezed out from between her teeth:
"The old lady wanted to poison me and die for Lu Fenglan."
