The leading man thought about it carefully and nodded.

"You, and you." The man pointed at two men, "Stay to protect the princess, and the rest come back with me to report to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Yes!"

Lieyan and Qingran returned home.

"Qingran, what is going on? How could you be..." Lieyan couldn't wait to know what was going on.

Qingran lowered her eyelids. She had a hard time keeping this secret.

The father of Her Majesty the Queen today has three children, the eldest daughter Ling Si, the second daughter Ling Xin, and the youngest son Ling Ren.

According to the monarchy system, the throne is inherited by the eldest son or daughter, so Ling Si inherited the throne. However, Ling Si unfortunately died in a car accident in the third year of her reign as queen.

Ling Xin, the current Her Majesty the Queen, inherited the throne after her sister passed away.

Qingran is the daughter of the previous queen, and now Princess Qing.

When Queen Lingsi was in a car accident, Princess Qing was by her side. She was only four years old at the time and had just started to remember things. Queen Lingsi protected her at the last moment before the accident, and she was saved from death.

In the hospital, she watched her mother die, so she has been silent since she was a child.

The current Her Majesty the Queen is her aunt and loves her niece very much. When Qingran was in her teens, she decided to go out for a walk, so Her Majesty the Queen did not stop her.

Who knew that she would be out for many years and would only return to the palace for a period of time during festivals.

After narrating her life story, Qingran turned her gaze to her belly. With tears in her eyes, she gently stroked it a few times with her hands.

"You know what? The royal family does not allow unmarried children, so our children are more likely to be dangerous." Qingran knew it was cruel to say it, but she still wanted to tell Lieyan the truth.

"Then I will propose to Her Majesty the Queen right away. As long as we get married, you will not be considered to have a child out of wedlock." Lieyan tightly grasped Qingran's hand.

Qingran shook her head, "Royal princesses can only marry nobles with titles, and they must be of titles above earl. No one can change this."

"Isn't the aristocratic system now gradually relaxed and not so strict? Why is there still such a rule?"

"Although the aristocratic system has been constantly reformed in recent years, the royal system has never changed much. After all, the royal family is the benchmark of a country." Qingran explained.

"So what should we do now?" Lie Yan asked anxiously.

"Now I can only put my hope on my aunt. My aunt has loved me since I was a child. I hope she can show leniency to me."

Qingran's tone was very soft, and she was not confident when she said these words.

Lie Yan just hugged Qingran in his arms. He finally knew why Qingran had always refused to live together, why she had always asked him to use contraception, and why she left without saying goodbye after she became pregnant.

He really felt sorry for her, thinking about her hiding from others with a big belly.

If he could do it again, he would never let her get pregnant.

Her Majesty the Queen was busy with government affairs and it was impossible for her to get here in time, so Lie Yan and Qingran spent the whole day waiting.

This day was like the last tenderness for them, full of uneasiness and anxiety.

Her Majesty the Queen came the next afternoon.

She was in casual clothes, and the people she brought were also in casual clothes. After all, this is a residential area, and it is not convenient to show up.

Qingran asked Lieyan to leave for the time being, and she wanted to talk to the Queen alone.

Lieyan didn't say anything, walked out of the room alone, and waited outside silently.
