Chapter 278 Yun Jiaoyue is Pregnant
His cold gaze locked onto Yun Zhaoxue's face. Seeing her suddenly turn pale and her steps become unsteady, he knew that the voodoo doll he had made had taken effect, and a smile curved his lips.
She lowered her head to hide the smug smile on her lips, pulled out the silver needle, and plunged it deep into the doll's heart. "You slut, I'll kill you."
"You stabbed your son to death, so what if you had two sons? In the end, weren't they all just doing the work for someone else? Your two sons didn't even acknowledge you, and your whole family of four died a terrible death, all of them are dead!"
Su Wanwan called her several times, but she seemed not to hear and remained silent. Su Wanwan had no choice but to come over and call her, "Dinner's ready. What are you doing? I've called you several times and you haven't responded."
She suspected that Yun Jiaoyue was deliberately making her suffer, forcing her to make a special trip with her broken leg.
When Yun Jiaoyue saw someone approaching, she hurriedly stuffed the doll into her sleeve.
The silver needle in her hand went astray and pierced her wrist, causing her to hiss in pain. She replied irritably, "It's nothing, it's none of your business."
Su Wanwan pouted, "I can't be bothered with that. If His Highness hadn't asked me to come, I wouldn't have come. Hurry up and go eat. Anyway, I called you. Whether you eat or not is your business. Don't turn around and accuse us of eating alone and want to punish us."
"Understood." Yun Jiaoyue pulled out the silver needle from her arm and then inserted it into the doll's abdomen again.
He hid the doll in his bundle after Su Wanwan turned around, then stood up and glared at Su Wanwan's back.
One person wasn't enough; she had to make several to kill all her enemies.
...
A pigeon circled above the Third Prince's head. He walked to the side, and a guard followed. The pigeon landed on the guard's shoulder.
The guard removed the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg. "Your Highness, news has come from Jiangnan."
Zhao Xuan's pupils contracted when he saw the two lines of text on the note. After another glance, the corners of his lips turned up, his eyebrows curved slightly, and his face was full of smiles. "Good! That's great!"
The Crown Prince's 150,000-strong army was no match for the rebels and suffered repeated defeats, retreating all the way to Lin'an. The fall of Lin'an would mean the entire Jiangnan region had fallen into the hands of the rebels, and the imperial court would certainly have to send troops to support them. The northern defenses were weak, and Wanyan Zonglie would definitely not let this opportunity pass.
Everything happened ahead of schedule. It seems he won't have to wait until next year; he can ascend the throne in Jiangnan this year.
The day the capital is captured will be the day he ascends the throne.
Father, Crown Prince, Second Prince, you can all go on your 'Northern Hunt' in peace. I will protect the land of Great Zhou.
Zhao Xuan excitedly clenched the note in his hand and patted the guard on the shoulder.
The guard, unaware of what had happened in his previous life, guessed that the situation in Jiangnan was favorable to them, and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Yun Zhaoxue had no appetite for the fish soup. She drank a small bowl and refused to drink any more, and she didn't touch the fish either.
My chest and stomach feel uncomfortable, as if I've been pricked with countless needles, and something feels like it's churning in my abdomen.
She suspected she had been bewitched, as the pulse diagnosis revealed nothing.
Xiao Xuance asked, "No appetite?"
"You're probably tired of eating meat for the past few days. Riding in a carriage doesn't require any energy expenditure, so it's fine to eat less."
The weather in the south is hot, and vegetables don't keep well. We finished eating the vegetables yesterday, and we'll buy fresh vegetables in Lingqu County.
Zhao Xuan also had fish soup at noon. The fish by the river were big and fat. The guards caught three, and the maid cooked a big pot of fish soup.
When Yun Jiaoyue smelled the fish soup, a wave of nausea rose in her throat. She overturned the soup, which landed right at Su Wanwan's feet.
"Ouch! It's so hot! What are you doing?"
Su Wanwan stood up, scalded by the heat, and kicked and shoved her shoes into the pot.
She was in so much pain that her face contorted in agony, and in a fit of anger, she lunged at Yun Jiaoyue and pushed her to the ground.
Just as Yun Jiaoyue was about to retaliate, that feeling of nausea surged up into her throat again.
She lay on the ground and vomited a few times. This feeling was so familiar, as if she had experienced it in her past life. Otherwise, a guess that excited her but made her unsure of herself would pop into her mind. She put her hand on her stomach and looked at Su Wanwan with an innocent expression. "Little sister, I didn't mean to. I just feel nauseous when I smell fish soup."
Liu Yiyi exclaimed in surprise, "You're pregnant?"
Are you pregnant?
"You're pregnant? Who are you trying to fool?"
Yun Jiaoyue added, "My period hasn't come for over a month."
Su Wanwan yelled at her, "So what if you're pregnant? Does being pregnant give you the right to scald me with fish soup?"
"Shut up! She's a princess, you're a concubine! Who are you yelling at? You have no manners!" Zhao Xuan slapped her across the face. "Smack!"
Su Wanwan was slapped to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her lip, and moved her body backward in fear.
Zhao Xuan gently helped Yun Jiaoyue up from the ground. "Come on, Yue'er, get up quickly."
This child was his first child, and also the first son he would later become on the throne; he was his eldest son.
He is the emperor, and having many children will help him secure his throne.
Yun Jiaoyue also told him that their future child would be both scholarly and martial, capable of governing the country with a pen and conquering the world on horseback.
Like father, like son; this is truly a good son to him, and he can't wait for his son to be born.
Not far away, Li Yuying, who was nibbling on her head, unconsciously raised her hand and touched her abdomen.
It was time for her to find a father for the child in her belly. Her eyes searched the crowd and finally settled on Yun Yanzhe.
