Chapter 196 What can you use to compete with the prince for a woman?
It is said that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy. Sang Ru thinks this is true. Her daughter has just become stupid after getting pregnant.
"Miss, I am standing right in front of you. How can I pass on the message?"
Yu Qinghuan had no choice. She didn't know anyone in the palace. If she didn't call Sang Ru into the palace, no one would know what was going on with her in the palace.
"I'll find a way to get you out of the palace in the next two days. You can go and deliver the message, but don't let anyone find out."
Although she felt that this was unreliable, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not stupid, so how could he let her leave the palace to deliver a message, but Sang Ru still nodded.
She really felt sorry for the girl. She had never been loved by her family since she was a child, and her monthly salary was often withheld. She lived a hard life. Although she later married a marquis, she encountered the troublesome old lady.
Fortunately, now that I have left the Marquis' Mansion and have some money on hand, my life has become a little better.
But although this palace looks bright and beautiful on the surface, it is actually a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. She sincerely hopes that the girl can live a free and easy life in the second half of her life, and not be buried in this palace.
Because so many things happened today, the two of them cleaned up and went to bed.
…
That night, Yu Qinghuan had a dream.
In her dream, she saw Xie Zhili in the palace. She almost ran into Xie Zhili's arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands. "You are finally here. I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Xie Zhili frowned and pushed her away, his face cold, "You've already left with Xiao Jinghe, what else do I need you for?"
Yu Qinghuan was immediately at a loss, "That's because you drank the Innocent Soup before, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Xiao Jinghe!"
There was nothing I could do at that time.
Xie Zhili was unwilling to even look at her, "Since you've hooked up with him, we shouldn't meet again."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to pull him, "But I'm pregnant."
A hint of disdain flashed across Xie Zhili's face, and he sneered, "So what? I, Xie Zhili, will never want a woman who has been touched by someone else!"
Having said this, he shook off the hand that was holding his arm and strode away.
Yu Qinghuan fell to the ground and looked at Xie Zhili's resolute figure leaving, her eyes red with grievance.
There were flashes of lightning and thunder, dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain soaked her, blurring her vision.
After a while, an umbrella appeared above her head, shielding her from the wind and clouds.
Yu Qinghuan was shivering with cold. She looked up and saw Mu Huaian holding out his hand to her. "Are you cold?"
She whimpered and nodded, "Cold."
After standing up, Yu Qinghuan crawled into Mu Huaian's arms and cried, gasping for breath: "Huaian, Xie Zhili said he doesn't want me anymore, do you don't want me anymore?"
Mu Huaian reached out his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks with pity, "How could I not want you."
Yu Qinghuan felt better at this point, but just as she stopped crying, Mu Huaian suddenly asked her, "But why are you with Xiao Jinghe?"
Yu Qinghuan was flustered and wanted to explain, but saw the disappointed look on the face of the person in front of him.
"First it was Xie Zhili, and now it's Xiao Jinghe. Qinghuan, do you really have me in your heart?"
His voice was as gentle as ever, but the look in his eyes was extremely cold, with a hint of loss and resentment, as if he was annoyed at why Yu Qinghuan was able to get along with everyone, wasn't it enough for him?
Yu Qinghuan: “Yes!”
Afraid that Mu Huaian wouldn't believe her, she even grabbed Mu Huaian's hand and placed it on her belly, "Look, I'm pregnant, our child..."
But Mu Huaian gently pushed her away.
The masked face had a dull look in its eyes and a cold tone: "But you have so many men, is the child in your belly really mine?"
...
News spread quickly in the capital. As soon as Cheng Gongjin returned to the Cheng Mansion from the palace, he met his nephew Mu Huaian who came to see him.
He was not surprised that Mu Huaian came to see him, and even returned to Cheng Mansion specifically to wait for him here.
Cheng Gongjin's face was indifferent. He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "What do you want to talk to me about?
Mu Huaian didn't sleep well the whole night, and his eyes were dark and blue. "Teacher, I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
Ever since he learned last night that Yu Qinghuan was abducted into the palace by the prince outside the Dali Temple, he has been restless and ran to Cheng's house last night, but the teacher was not there, so he has been waiting until now.
His father and mother could enter the palace, but they would never help him, so he could only come to his teacher for help.
Cheng Gongjin glanced at him and said, "Speak."
Mu Huaian lowered his eyes and said, "Qinghuan was in trouble yesterday. I don't know how she offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and was taken into the palace. She has always been timid. I know that the teacher is now on good terms with the Crown Prince. Could you please come forward and speak to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get Qinghuan taken out of the palace?"
Cheng Gongjin looked at him deeply, not knowing whether Mu Huaian in front of him was really confused or just pretending to be confused.
Now that the affair between the Crown Prince and Yu has spread everywhere, he still thinks that Yu was abducted into the palace because she offended the Crown Prince.
"She and the prince have already had an affair, so how can she be abducted?"
"Impossible." Mu Huaian didn't believe it at all, "She definitely didn't do it voluntarily."
Cheng Gongjin: "The Crown Prince intends to marry her as his consort. How do you know she is not willing?"
Mu Huaian naturally knew what Cheng Gongjin meant. How many noble ladies in the capital had fought tooth and nail for the position of Crown Princess? Even Miss Sun's accident yesterday was because of this. It can be seen how many people yearn for the wealth and glory in the palace.
But he just knew that Yu Qinghuan was definitely not such a person.
"I believe him and asked the teacher for help. Huai'an is very grateful."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Gongjin did not rush to refute, but said, "News just came from the palace that Yu is one month pregnant."
Mu Huaian was obviously stunned. She was pregnant... Was it true this time?
The teacher has spies everywhere, so his information should not be false.
The next moment, he spoke without hesitation, "My child."
Hearing Mu Huaian's confident words, Cheng Gongjin pursed his lips slightly and rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips. He couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with a woman. If he was willing to focus on the affairs of the court, why would he have to plan so much.
"She's been inseparable from the Xie family, and she's also entangled with the Crown Prince. How do you know she's not pregnant with someone else's child?"
Seeing that Mu Huaian remained silent, he continued, "As far as I know, the prince has even arranged for an imperial physician to take care of her. If she weren't his biological son, how could he be so attentive?"
Mu Huaian listened to every word Cheng Gongjin said, but still replied with certainty, "Teacher, she is pregnant with my child."
Cheng Gongjin's eyes darkened slightly. This was not an ordinary question. "Do you really think so?"
Mu Huaian's face was dark and firm. No matter whether it was Xie Zhili or Xiao Jinghe, the child in Yu Qinghuan's belly would only be his. "Yes."
Cheng Gongjin lowered his eyes to examine him, "But you have nothing now. Your father is still alive, and you are just a commoner. What can you use to compete with the prince for a woman? Is it your status as the only son of Duke Dingguo?"
