After Lieyan walked out, Qingran knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Aunt, I beg you to let me give birth to this child. Lieyan and I are truly in love. Please help us!" Qingran begged bitterly.

Her Majesty the Queen helped Qingran up, "Qingqing, it's not that your aunt won't help you. You should also know the system of our royal family. Before you left the palace, I told you that you can fall in love, but never get pregnant. I didn't expect you to follow in your aunt's footsteps."

Qingran burst into tears, "Aunt, but we are truly in love. We have been together for seven years."

"No wonder I asked you to go back before, but you refused to agree. It turns out that it's because you have him outside." Her Majesty the Queen sighed.

"Aunt, please give Lieyan a title, and then let me marry him, so that we won't be considered unmarried and have a child." Qingran pleaded. "

Qingqing. Don't make it difficult for me. You know that the title is not something I can decide alone. Moreover, he has not made any significant contributions, so he is not qualified to be a noble." Her Majesty the Queen said softly, fearing that Qingran would be upset.

"Then I don't want to be a princess anymore. You can demote me to a commoner. As long as Lieyan and I can be together and keep our child, we are willing to do anything."

"Silly child, if you can say you don't want to be a princess, your aunt might not be in this position long ago." Her Majesty the Queen stroked Qingran's hair.

Qingran finally gave up. She was at her wit's end.

She sat on the bed paralyzed, her heart dead.

Her Majesty the Queen looked at her, sat next to her, and hugged her shoulders.

"Qingqing, you should have known since childhood that a member of the royal family should always keep the country in mind and take the country into consideration in every action. You are already thirty years old, and you should take my place."

Qingran sighed, she knew this was her destiny.

"Qingqing, I know that because of your sister, you never wanted to be a queen, but you also know that your uncle's cousins ​​are arrogant and unreasonable and only care about money. Auntie can't hand over the country to them. Auntie only has you."

Qingran raised her head, tears streaming down her face, "Auntie, haven't you been looking for your illegitimate daughter? Hasn't my cousin been found yet?"

Speaking of her daughter, Her Majesty the Queen sighed, "I have tried very hard to find her whereabouts, but unfortunately there is no news at all. Maybe she is already dead, right? "

Qingran held the Queen's hand, "Aunt, don't be too sad. Even if your cousin is dead, you can't be blamed entirely. The situation was really urgent and you had no choice."

The Queen shook her head, "After all, I am sorry for her. I have tried very hard to delay time for you, hoping to find my daughter and let her inherit the throne, so that you can live your life with peace of mind, but..."

She didn't say anything else and sighed deeply again.

Outside the door

Ou Zihan and Chu Tiance came to visit Qingran. Because they knew Qingran was pregnant, she was relatively free recently, so they came more frequently.

Several people at the door stopped her.

"What are you doing? This is my brother's house, let me in!" Ou Zihan yelled.

"It's Miss Ou." The guard took a look at Ou Zihan. Last time on Ou Zihan's birthday, he was also responsible for protecting the Queen's safety, so he recognized Ou Zihan.

"Miss Ou, I'm sorry, Her Majesty the Queen is inside, you can't go in for the time being."
