Chapter 343 Being Loved Doesn't Require Such Fear
Prince Yong was released from prison, so how could he smell aphrodisiacs on him?
If it was accidentally spilled, how strong would the medicinal effect be?
Ji Qingwu was a little confused and frowned slightly.
Tao Wanyin sat up straight, leaning against the headboard, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it because of my pregnancy...?"
Ji Qingwu said, "No, the baby in the princess's womb is fine, there's no need to worry."
Tao Wanyin finally felt relieved and touched her belly, which was bulging even when she was lying flat.
"Qingwu, there's something I want to ask you."
Ji Qingwu walked back to her side and said, "Go ahead."
Tao Wanyin remained calm and said softly, "Does His Highness... have someone else outside?"
Ji Qingwu asked in surprise, "Why would the Princess Consort ask such a question? Has she discovered that Prince Yong is acting suspiciously, or has she given herself away?"
Tao Wanyin shook her head: "Actually, I was just guessing."
Ji Qingwu asked, "Did Prince Yong bully you again?"
Tao Wanyin quickly denied it: "No, the prince has been very good to me, even a little too good these past few days."
Prince Yong's attitude towards her took a dramatic turn.
For example, she had nothing wrong with him today, but he made a big fuss and rushed back from the palace. When he entered the room, he was covered in sweat.
She could sense that in his eyes, besides care and concern, there was also a deep sense of guilt.
Where does this guilt come from?
Tao Wanyin was in a state of confusion and didn't know who else to ask. Even if she asked Chang Lu, the eunuch by Prince Yong's side, he certainly wouldn't tell her the truth.
She looked at Ji Qingwu, hoping to get some information from her.
"I am mentally prepared. Even if another new person joins the household, I will not be sad or upset."
But Princess Yong's fingers were already clenched tightly, clearly indicating that she wanted to hear, but was also afraid of hearing a reaction that might actually be something.
Ji Qingwu guessed that he knew the reason.
Most likely, Prince Yong learned the truth, his inner conflict was resolved, and he felt both guilty and loving towards Princess Yong, but he couldn't tell Tao Wanyin that the person who had bullied her back then was Su Fengyue, for fear of upsetting her while she was pregnant.
Ji Qingwu pondered and said, "Your Highness, there is even less to worry about. I guess Prince Yong has probably turned over a new leaf, realized his mistakes, and wants to treat you well to make up for the regrets you had before."
Tao Wanyin's fingers relaxed slightly, and she said, "Really?"
Ji Qingwu smiled and said, "There's no need to be so afraid of being loved."
Tao Wanyin was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and a blush appeared on her face.
"Love and affection are not important. The most important thing now is that the baby in my womb can be born safely."
Ji Qingwu nodded and said, "Definitely."
Tao Wanyin's face grew increasingly red, even the tips of her ears turned red. She touched her collar and said, "Qingwu, is it going to rain outside? Why is it so muggy?"
She felt hot and wanted to drink some cool tea to calm her mind.
Ji Qingwu glanced at the sky; outside, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle, while the temperature inside was just right.
This doesn't seem right...
Ji Qingwu reached out and placed his hand on Princess Yong's wrist.
The pulse has changed significantly from before; it's like a piece of wood floating on water, with a strong and yang-dominant pulse.
It must be that Tao Wanyin's body was already weak and agitated, and the thing she just came into contact with suddenly aroused her.
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered slightly as he thought of the unique fragrance emanating from Prince Yong.
Seeing that she had withdrawn her hand and was not speaking, but the light in her eyes was still flickering, Tao Wanyin realized that there shouldn't be anything wrong with her body. She asked curiously, "Qingwu, what's wrong?"
Ji Qingwu and Tao Wanyin exchanged a glance, their eyes dimming.
She subtly hinted, "Your Highness, the baby in your womb is already three months along."
Tao Wanyin smiled and said, "Yes, I could feel slight fetal movement a few days ago."
Ji Qingwu asked, "Besides the fetal movement, is there anything else wrong? For example, is it that you feel hot at night and can't sleep?"
Tao Wanyin's eyes widened, and she said, "Qingwu, I do have these symptoms. I also get hot and sweaty, and the sheets are soaked with sweat when I wake up in the morning."
Ji Qingwu smiled and said, "If the Princess Consort can't sleep at night, she can do some exercise."
Tao Wanyin raised her eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Exercise?"
Ji Qingwu heard footsteps, turned around and saw that Prince Yong had already walked to the window. She pointed to the person who came.
"Yes, let's invite him along."
Even if Tao Wanyin was slow to understand, she still understood what Ji Qingwu meant.
After a thorough bath, Zhao Minghong, now looking dashing and debonair again, walked in and saw his princess blushing and looking at Ji Qingwu with alluring eyes.
Suddenly, an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
Zhao Minghong glanced at Ji Qingwu and began to coldly order him to leave.
"It's getting late, so I won't keep my fifth cousin for dinner."
When they need someone to come, it's extremely urgent; when they need someone to leave, it's even more urgent.
Ji Qingwu, however, remained firmly seated, showing no intention of moving away.
She opened her mouth and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm actually a little sleepy."
Zhao Minghong said, "If you're sleepy, go back to the Wei family's bed to sleep."
Ji Qingwu raised an eyebrow and said, "The Wei family's bed is rock hard, but the princess's bed looks very soft and comfortable."
Tao Wanyin glanced at Prince Yong, then quickly looked away, and took the initiative to tug at Ji Qingwu's sleeve, saying, "Qingwu, if you have nothing else to do, why don't you stay here tonight and sleep with me for the night?"
Prince Yong stared intently at the empty space on the inside of the bed, like a wild beast circling a spot, and said, "No, I'll have Chang Lu go to the inner treasury later and prepare an identical mattress to send to you."
Ji Qingwu glanced at the shelf opposite him again and said, "That's different. The Princess's room is decorated in a stylish, elegant and interesting way. Sleeping requires a certain atmosphere."
Tao Wanyin nodded, about to say something, when Zhao Minghong gritted his teeth and interrupted, "Go to the inner treasury and choose for yourself."
The Prince's palace treasury must have contained many fine items.
Ji Qingwu reluctantly agreed, and before leaving, he went to Princess Yong's side and said something to her.
The blush that had just faded from Tao Wanyin's face suddenly returned in patches.
Zhao Minghong's tone was somewhat exasperated as he said to the eunuch standing at the door, "Chang Lu! Quickly take her to choose!"
Once Ji Qingwu's figure disappeared, Tao Wanyin never raised her head again.
A hand, still cool from a recent bath, lifted her chin.
"You're so unhappy that you don't even want to look at me after your fifth cousin left?"
Zhao Minghong asked with a stern face and displeasure.
Tao Wanyin shook her head, but still didn't speak. Following his touch, she looked at his Adam's apple and slowly slid it down.
With just a gentle flick of her gaze, Zhao Minghong felt a surge of heat rise within him.
"Wanyin".
Just as Tao Wanyin was about to raise her head, Prince Yong cupped her cheeks.
