Upon hearing Yan Gang's words, An Xing immediately realized that Granny Gu was likely in grave danger. He stared at him in disbelief, "You! How dare you! You're Yun Shao's person?"
As a royal princess, An Xing knew these methods better than anyone else; she herself had used them countless times.
Yan Gang smiled faintly and remained silent.
An Xing's face grew increasingly pale, so Yan Gang's previous kindness towards her was all a pretense, just for the sake of the roster!
An Xing was well aware that the situation was unfavorable to her. Yan Gang dared to completely abandon all pretense and speak to her like this, so he must have made thorough preparations.
Even if she managed to scream for help, Yan Gang would definitely find a way to silence her before anyone came in, leaving no room for criticism.
After all, childbirth is a life-or-death experience for any woman in this world, let alone in her situation.
An Xing even considered that her premature hemorrhage might be related to Yan Gang.
In an instant, countless thoughts raced through An Xing's mind. In the end, she chose to set aside her pride, tears streaming down her face as she looked pitifully at Yan Gang.
“My lord, the child in my belly is yours. If something happens to me, the child will also be lost. How can you bear to do that? Do you want to kill your own flesh and blood with your own hands?”
"If you get Princess Chang Le to save me and my child, I'll pretend today's events never happened, and we can go back to how things were before, okay?"
Yan Gang scoffed, "Princess, do you think everyone else is a fool? A child? Do you dare to say with a clear conscience that this child is mine?"
An Xing lowered her head guiltily; she hadn't expected Yan Gang to know!
But what good would it do to know? She was a princess, and it was already a blessing from several lifetimes that he had married her.
Seeing An Xing remain silent with his head down, Yan Gang's face turned cold, and he repeated, "Where is the list? My patience is limited, and I don't want to ask a third time. If you tell me, I'll go and invite Princess Chang Le for you right now; otherwise, I don't mind burning down the princess's residence, and nobody will get that thing!"
An Xing's anger surged instantly. He looked up and glared at Yan Gang, "Yan Gang, you... Ouch~, the medicine... give me the medicine..."
Yan Gang didn't let her drink the painkillers that Dr. Wang prescribed for her.
The intense pain in his abdomen made An Xing too weak to finish a sentence.
"Medicine...please...medicine..."
Yan Gang remained silent, simply watching An Xing calmly...
This tranquility only made Anxing feel more terrified.
An Xing felt waves of heat surging outwards; as a mother, she could sense that her child seemed to be leaving her.
"The list is... behind the Yunqi landscape painting in the study..."
Yan Gang didn't believe it. "I looked for that landscape painting and didn't find anything different."
“Organic…mechanism, the mechanism is…the rock in the lower right corner of the scroll, press it…please…save the child.”
Yan Gang stood up and looked at Princess Anxing, who was on the verge of death. He took out a pill and put it into her mouth, then poured the medicine into a flowerpot next to her.
He then got up and opened the door, looking panicked. "Your Excellency, the princess has fainted."
The Imperial Physician Wang was anxious and rushed into the room to examine Princess Anxing's pulse and administer acupuncture.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yan Gang entered the study, reached out and touched the landscape painting, and found the rock that Princess Anxing had mentioned.
I then noticed that this rock, which looked inconspicuous in the whole painting, felt a bit rougher to the touch than the other parts.
He pressed down hard and felt a dent in the wall behind the rock, followed by a click.
Turning my head, I saw a hidden compartment pop out from the side of the antique display shelf in the study.
Yan Gang strode over and took out a booklet from the hidden compartment.
After glancing at it, Yan Gang quickly put it away.
Back in the princess's room, the Imperial Physician Wang saw Yan Gang and rushed to greet him anxiously, "My lord, why hasn't the princess arrived yet? If she doesn't come soon, the princess won't be able to hold on."
Yan Gang looked anxious. "How could this happen? Dean Wang, don't worry, wait a little longer. Perhaps something has come up on the princess's end."
How could he allow someone to invite the princess? He didn't want to harm her. If anything happened, he would take full responsibility.
The Zhao residence.
