Chapter 19 I only want the throne, not favor (19)
"When the imperial concubine becomes pregnant, she will know what it feels like to have morning sickness." Chu Wanqing answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He even stepped on Gao Min.
Gao Min's eyes hardened at what Chu Wanqing said. She snorted and laughed, "Really? You always use the Dragon Heir as an excuse for everything."
Chu Wanqing raised her eyes and met Gao Min's: "If the Imperial Concubine doesn't believe me, please call the Imperial Physician."
Upon hearing this, Gao Min was about to call the imperial physician.
Gao Yansheng put the wine glass heavily on the table, causing Gao Min to pause. She bit her lower lip and sat down without saying another word.
She could offend her father, but she couldn't offend her brother.
"Don't be anxious, my dear." Li Hong patted Gao Min's shoulder, with a hint in his words.
Gao Min's face lit up with joy, and she pretended to be shy and avoided Li Hong's hand.
Chu Wanqing ignored Gao Yansheng's gaze and said to Li Hong, "I'm not feeling well. I'll take my leave first."
Li Hong waved his hand, signaling her to go down.
The little incident did not make the palace banquet unpleasant.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of Concubine Gao's behavior?" Shu Yuan supported Chu Wanqing's wrist and whispered.
Chu Wanqing pondered Gao Min's different eyes and expressions, and said calmly, "I don't have any opinion. He's just a defeated opponent with poor acting skills."
Gao Min is deliberately making people think that she is brainless.
As for what Gao Min was asking for, she thought she could guess roughly.
Gao Min's jealousy of the baby in her belly was genuine and there was no pretense involved.
"She won't be pregnant." Chu Wanqing whispered.
Shu Yuan nodded.
Li Hong was afraid of the Chu family, so why wasn't he afraid of the Gao family?
How could Gao Min be pregnant at this time?
Anyone can have children, except Gao Min and Chu Wanqing.
Chu Wanqing knew that her child would be miscarried before the third month.
After all, pregnancy cannot be publicized within three months, but it was known to the whole court just after one month, which was not good for the child.
"What are your plans, Madam?" Shu Yuan was thinking in her heart how to keep the child while asking this question.
Chu Wanqing looked coldly at the place not far away: "He won't live to see that day."
Qi Yi's medicine not only makes him addicted to her, but also causes his body to deteriorate and die from the poison when he cannot touch her.
I just don't know which unlucky guy was implicated.
Gao Yansheng didn't expect that he would hear such a conversation when he followed here.
Chu Wanqing actually wants Li Hong to die?
Could it be that she wanted to use the child in her belly to usurp the throne?
Gao Yansheng frowned. How could a woman like her ascend to the throne?
"How does your Majesty plan to tell the General?"
Shu Yuan's words made Gao Yansheng prick up his ears. If he guessed correctly, the general Shu Yuan was talking about was him.
Chu Wanqing didn't answer Shu Yuan, but lowered her head and touched her belly: "Next month, I will be pregnant. Remember to prepare two sets of loose clothes for me."
Gao Yansheng's expression changed slightly as he hid in the dark.
He thought of the words of the baby in his dream.
Three months ago...four months to be exact.
The news of Chu Wanqing's pregnancy came out not long ago, and it should be less than a month, but she herself said that her pregnancy is about to show.
Gao Yansheng did not continue to follow, but stopped where he was, digesting the news he had heard.
The child is his.
The bowl of abortion pills that Gao Min took did not cause her to abort the baby, she kept it.
Gao Yansheng returned to the palace banquet and was forced to drink by the ministers. He deliberately drank until he was unconscious before leaving.
Li Hong watched Gao Yansheng being carried out, a sneer on his lips. The Chu family was over, and the Gao family was next.
After returning to Gao Mansion, Gao Yansheng went to bed early.
After everyone had left, Gao Yansheng used his internal energy to force the alcohol out of his body, put on his nightgown, and slipped out of the Gao Mansion.
Chu Wanqing didn't expect Gao Yansheng to visit the palace at night.
"Who!" Chu Wanqing has been suffering from insomnia recently and can only fall asleep very late.
When she heard someone coming into the room, she sat up instantly and let out a low cry.
"If I were a bad person, that sound you just made would be enough to kill you." The familiar voice made Chu Wanqing's body stiffen.
She stared warily at Gao Yansheng, who was dressed in black, not far away. "I wonder why General Gao came here so late at night."
"Gao has a question that he would like to ask Miss Chu."
Gao Yansheng didn't call Chu Wanqing "Princess Chu", but "Miss Chu", which made Chu Wanqing a little dazed.
She quickly came back to her senses: "What doubts made General Gao risk his life to visit the palace at night?"
"I want to know how Miss Chu managed to leave this child in Gao Min's hands?"
Chu Wanqing's heart instantly rose to her throat.
She was worried, not sure whether Gao Yansheng knew what she had done after Gao Min had an abortion.
"Don't be nervous. Since it's Gao's child, Gao will naturally take full responsibility."
Gao Yansheng felt guilty towards Chu Wanqing.
Chu Wanqing: “?” Three months ago, nothing happened between them, so how come…
However, Gao Yansheng admitted that this was his child, and she could only say sorry to him in her heart.
"I drank a bucket of water and vomited repeatedly before I was able to keep the child." Chu Wanqing lowered her head and touched her belly: "This is my child. I won't let anyone hurt her."
Gao Yansheng knew that she was saying that she would return the favor by giving Gao Min the bowl of abortion pills.
Gao Yansheng didn't have any special feelings for Gao Min.
The main reason he came here was to find out what Chu Wanqing was going to do: "You want my child to recognize a thief as his father?"
"I am Li Hong's concubine." Chu Wanqing replied.
In terms of identity, her child can only be Li Hong's.
Unless, she can stand at a height that others dare not question.
"I can arrange for you to fake your death and marry me with a different identity." Gao Yansheng knew that Li Hong wanted to get rid of the Chu family, and he had a way to keep her.
Chu Wanqing refused: "I won't leave. I want to protect the Chu family."
Gao Yansheng could see the stubbornness and resentment on Chu Wanqing's face through the moonlight.
He approached Chu Wanqing and leaned over to look her in the eye. "Use your soon-to-be-aborted child to protect it?"
Chu Wanqing looked back at him calmly, then suddenly reached out and put her arms around Gao Yansheng's neck: "Don't you still have me?"
Gao Yansheng's body stiffened and he subconsciously wanted to take action.
The moment before he made his move, he remembered that she was pregnant, and only then did he control himself and did not push her away: "I won't help you."
Chu Wanqing closed her eyes gently and encouraged herself in her heart.
Everything is worth it, no matter how much it costs.
Gao Yansheng could feel that Chu Wanqing's hand around his neck was trembling slightly. She was afraid.
Or perhaps it was because it was the first time that a legitimate daughter of a family seduced a man, and she was still unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.
"Gao Yansheng, who do you think will be the heir to the Chu family?" She slowly opened her eyes, trying hard to control her emotions and not let any fear show on her face: "Li Hong will never let your sister have a dragon heir."
"How do you want to convince me?" Gao Yansheng remained motionless.
Chu Wanqing moved closer to Gao Yansheng and asked provocatively, "Does General Gao have any special hobbies?"
Wu Meiniang was willing to kill her own daughter for the throne, but she was only sacrificing her own reputation...
