After returning to his residence, Nan Lin ordered the imperial physician to examine Nan Xiangyue again, and the result was the same as Wu Changming's.
Overjoyed, he ordered the monthly allowance in the manor to be tripled and then stood guard by Nan Xiangyue's bedside to wait for her to wake up.
Two hours later.
Nan Xiangyue slowly woke up, "What happened? How did I get back to the manor?"
Nan Lin said to Nan Xiangyue with a big smile, "Yue'er, you're pregnant!"
"What?" Nan Xiangyue covered her mouth, then looked at her stomach. Was there already a child inside?
"You're going to be a mother, and I'm going to be a father. We're having a child." Nan Lin was telling Nan Xiangyue, and also himself.
Nan Xiangyue's expression softened instantly. "That's great! I want to tell my mother and brother. They'll be so happy to know."
Although Nan Lin didn't like Nan Xiangyue mentioning others, he wouldn't be so tactless at this moment.
"Alright, I'll have someone tell them this right away."
"Yes." Nan Xiangyue nodded with tears in her eyes.
"But I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Yue'er for now. My relationship with the young emperor is becoming increasingly strained, and I'm worried that if word gets out, he might harm you, so..."
"I know, of course the baby is the most important thing, I don't want anyone to know I'm pregnant."
"Yes. Yue'er, thank you."
Nan Xiangyue lowered her head shyly.
Nan Lin gently pulled the person into his arms, and the two clung tightly to each other.
A room temperature.
embassy.
When Wei Wangqing received the warning from Prince Ye, he couldn't help but sneer. This Prince Ye really thought he was someone important.
In what capacity did he warn her?
She wasn't usually a gossip, so why would she go around telling everyone that Nan Xiangyue was pregnant?
Wei Wangqing was very unhappy that he had to talk to her nicely instead of resorting to verbal threats.
So she went directly to their door.
"Who goes there?" the gatekeeper asked coldly. There were always some inexplicable women trying to get close to their prince.
"The Sixth Princess of the Northern Dynasty".
The gatekeeper was startled. "Please wait a moment," he said, and hurried inside to report.
A moment later, a slightly older middle-aged man came out and said, "Sixth Princess, this way please."
He then invited the person into the mansion.
Inside the lobby.
"Please wait a moment, Sixth Princess. My lord is having a meal with the Princess Consort and will be here shortly."
Well, maybe she came at the wrong time.
Fifteen minutes later, Prince Ye finally arrived, albeit late.
"Speak, what do you want from me?" Ye Wang said casually.
To be honest, Wei Wangqing got angry when she saw him act like this, as if talking to him was a waste of time. He was so arrogant.
"How do you plan to keep quiet?" Wei Wangqing went straight to the point, not intending to waste time with him.
"What?" King Ye thought he had misheard. Someone actually dared to come here and freeload?
"Your Highness doesn't think you can shut me up with just a few words, does he? If Your Highness doesn't want me to reveal the Princess's pregnancy, you should at least offer me something in return." Wei Wangqing didn't care about the small amount of profit; she just wanted to vent her anger. Otherwise, Nanlin would really think she was easy to bully!
She wasn't his subordinate, someone who would obey his every command, summoned at a moment's notice.
"You dare?" King Ye glared angrily.
"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Wei Wangqing retorted.
"Your Highness Ye, you're so used to giving orders to your subordinates that you've started to treat me like one too, aren't you?" Wei Wangqing raised an eyebrow.
"If you dare to tell anyone, I will..." Yue'er was his Achilles' heel; anyone who touched her would die!
"What will you do? Kill me?"
Why not?
Wei Wangqing laughed, "I say, does Prince Ye never consider the consequences of his actions?"
"I am an envoy from the Northern Dynasty, here to offer my congratulations to the Southern Emperor on his birthday, yet I have died in your Southern Dynasty. Even if my Great Wei is concerned about its reputation and national dignity, I doubt it will let this go so easily!"
"So what?" King Ye remained nonchalant.
"What if the two countries go to war?"
Ye Wang frowned, but still said, "I don't care."
"Prince Ye probably doesn't know that the Princess Consort's brother has joined the army," Wei Wangqing sneered. Only Nan Xiangyue could be his weakness.
"Even without Nan Xiangrong joining the army, as long as either Prince An or Nan Xiangrong is in our Great Wei, they will become weapons to restrain Nan Xiangyue. What can you do about it?"
Nan Lin's face was extremely pale. "I will bring them over."
"But not now, is it? Or do you think the Northern Emperor would be foolish enough to release them?"
"Moreover, because of Nan Xiangyue, our two countries went to war. What do you want the world to say about her? A vile concubine who brought ruin to the country? You still don't care?"
Nan Lin's face had turned ashen. He didn't care about his own reputation, but he didn't want his Yue'er to bear the infamy.
What do you want?
"I didn't originally intend to do anything, but I really disliked Prince Ye's attitude, so I need Prince Ye to compensate me for some emotional distress." Finally, they got to the point.
Ye Wang didn't understand what compensation for emotional distress was, but he knew she had come here for money. It was quite an achievement for her to be able to squeeze money out of him.
Prince Ye summoned his steward and transferred two shops and a manor with a hot spring under his name to Wei Wangqing, along with ten silver notes.
Wei Wangqing was very satisfied, saying that this trip had not been in vain; he had received the money and vented his anger, and was ready to leave.
At this moment, Nan Xiangyue came over.
Prince Ye hurriedly stepped forward to support her, saying, "Yue'er, why did you come out? Go back inside and stay there."
Nan Xiangyue gave him a reproachful look, "I'm not that fragile. You can't expect me to stay inside all the time."
Why not?
"You..." he said, angrily punching Prince Ye.
Wei Wangqing, who had just been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), suddenly felt that the silver notes in his arms were no longer appealing.
Yes, it definitely needs to be less!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now?" Wei Wangqing indicated that he didn't want to stay here and watch the couple flirting.
"Wait, Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, has he? I've come to invite you to eat with us."
Ye Wang swallowed back the words "It's alright, let's go" that were on the tip of his tongue.
Uh, didn't they just finish eating?
Nan Xiangyue seemed to sense her confusion and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm hungry again."
"It's alright, Yue'er can eat as much as she wants," said Prince Ye with boundless generosity.
Nan Xiangyue lowered her head shyly.
Wei Wangqing felt that she was too naive to want to see the two of them get along back then!
"Your Highness, why don't you come with us?" Nan Xiangyue asked Wei Wangqing.
Looking at Prince Ye behind her, who was giving her a warning look to leave, Wei Wangqing said that she didn't want to eat here in the first place, as his face was really disgusting.
"No, I'll be going now."
"Alright then, come again when you have the chance, Your Highness."
"Okay." Bullshit, she never wanted to see Nan Lin's deadpan face again.
The two looked at each other, then, finding each other tiresome, turned their heads away.
After Wei Wangqing left, he said he needed to have a big meal to turn his grief and anger into appetite.
Spend his money, so he has no money left to spend!
