Chapter 148: Origin of Life 2
He didn't want to admit it was his own problem, so he found someone in advance to find a baby boy with exceptional qualities. If the princess had given birth to a boy, it would have been fine, but unfortunately, the princess still gave birth to a girl.
"The princess didn't wake up during the journey, did she?" Prince Duan asked the nanny in a low voice, while playing with the baby.
The old woman lowered her head and said, "No."
However, inside the room, the princess listened to the conversation outside with her cold eyes, then weakly closed them, and a tear slid down her cheek.
If her cultivation hadn't been damaged and she hadn't been drugged before giving birth, she definitely wouldn't be as weak as she is now, and her child wouldn't have been sent away.
From the early stages of her pregnancy until three months later, when Prince Duan learned the gender of her child, the plan began.
The child in her womb was not born as she had hoped, but only stayed with her for ten months.
Unfortunately, it has now been dealt with.
Her child died just like that.
It's already difficult for a cultivator to get pregnant, and she hasn't conceived even after nearly five hundred years of marriage into the Duan Prince's mansion.
Prince Duan had more and more concubines, but fortunately none of them gave birth to boys.
She had finally gotten pregnant and was thinking that it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, but after learning that Prince Duan had this idea, she didn't want to give birth anymore.
But Prince Duan wouldn't allow her to have an abortion. Everyone knew that if she had an abortion, the child would definitely be a girl.
Prince Duan would not allow it; with her cultivation level, she had virtually no chance of winning against those guarding her.
Several nannies guarded the room every day, not allowing her to bump or get hurt in the slightest.
She had finally managed to get away with it because only the old nanny who usually watched over her was left. She couldn't hold back anymore and cried while pleading with the nanny in a low voice.
Let her see her child.
The princess's brow remained furrowed with worry as the child was born unexpectedly.
In the end, the princess still gave the child a name: "Shang".
She held her daughter and wept silently, knowing that the child would be taken away and disposed of in the next moment, replaced by a baby boy she didn't know.
The princess took out a blank jade pendant, cut a small amount of her blood, and let it drip onto the pendant.
The essence blood on the jade tablet kept flowing, slowly revealing the character "殇" (sorrow). She gently pressed the jade tablet into the baby's body.
The old woman watched all this without saying a word. She knew that the princess still had a sliver of hope, but unfortunately, the prince would not let the little princess live.
Otherwise, once it's exposed, not only will the royal family have objections, but powerful clans will also be happy to see the joke.
Ye Shang's consciousness followed the guard to a deserted lakeside.
The guards drew a barrier and were about to kill the baby and throw it into the lake when a red light flashed across the lakeside.
The guards' barrier was broken.
A beautiful woman appeared, whose cultivation was clearly superior to that of the guard. The two fought for a while, but the guard was no match for her and could only watch helplessly as the little princess was snatched away.
The woman in red teased the baby in her arms and was about to kill the guard when he ran away quickly.
The guard dared not appear at the Prince's residence in such a disheveled state, so he found a place to change into his guard uniform. Enduring the faint pain from his wounds, he reported to Prince Duan with an unchanged expression: "Your Highness, it has been taken care of."
Prince Duan waved his hand: "Hmm."
He didn't care about the smell of blood on the guards; after all, it was normal to have a bit of a bloody smell after killing an infant.
The guard then withdrew without changing his expression.
