Unexpectedly, one night, just after helping the prince drink the medicine, he pulled her onto the bed.

Half-heartedly, she had physical contact with the prince.

She thought the prince would definitely take responsibility for her, but she waited and waited, and all she got was a verbal promise from the prince.

After all, she was the daughter of a minister in the court. Although she was favored by the prince, she was not the only woman in the East Palace.

Those obscene words that are unbearable to hear can always be heard coming out of the mouths of the palace maids who are whispering to each other.

Every time she heard it, she wanted to tear the faces of those despicable things apart!

She had been chasing after Jun Zhiling, thinking that she could get the power she wanted from him.

But the benefits that are gained slowly are ultimately not as good as the opportunities that are readily available.

The position of the Crown Princess is right here and now. If she doesn't seize it, wouldn't she be even more stupid and ignorant than that bitch Mu Luan?

She now had no way out and could only focus on the prince.

Jun Qizheng wiped her tears, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her: "You don't have to care about other people's opinions. I promise you that as long as you are pregnant with my child, I will marry you as the Crown Princess regardless of whether the Queen Mother agrees or not."

Su Lan's tears rolled down as she choked up, "I naturally believe in my brother the Crown Prince, but why can't we get married first and then slowly have children? I don't care about the rumors outside, but our children may have to endure these grievances in the future."

Jun Qi was at an angle that Su Lan couldn't see, and his expression looked a little ugly.

But he still patted her on the shoulder and coaxed her, "You know how the Queen Mother treats you. If you can't offer a price that satisfies the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely oppose me marrying you. By then, let alone the child, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay with me."

There are thousands of women in the world, but this woman is really stupid and only has good looks.

She didn't even think about the fact that without her mother's consent, how could she be allowed to live in the Eastern Palace every day during this period of time!

If she wants to conceive his child, it depends on whether she is lucky enough to do so.

Su Lan subconsciously hugged Jun Qizheng's waist tightly, her eyes moistened as she said, "No, I don't want to leave my brother, the prince."

Jun Qizheng curled his lips in satisfaction and continued, "Don't worry, I won't let that happen. Besides, if Lan'er gets pregnant with my child, he will be my eldest son and will inherit my position in the future. I want to see who dares to belittle themselves!"

Although these words sounded comfortable, Lidya Su always felt uneasy.

She raised her hand and touched her belly, feeling secretly annoyed.

This is the nth time, but I still haven’t gotten pregnant!

Kunning Palace.

The queen sat on a small couch, one hand on her temple, leaning on a small table and closing her eyes to rest.

Cao Mang, who was behind her, was kneeling on the couch, with his hands raised with his index fingers, squeezing the queen's shoulders lightly.

The queen opened her lips slightly and asked, "How is it going?"

Cao Mang paused with his fingertips, lowered his eyes, and said, "Miss Su and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have been sleeping together for more than half a month, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I have someone watching them, and they won't leave any offspring."

The queen slowly opened her eyes and waved her hand. Cao Mang immediately stopped and got off the couch.

She picked up the precious porcelain cup carved with peony flowers and took a sip leisurely. "There is no need to be so cautious. We should keep what we should keep. If she doesn't listen, she may not survive even if we keep her."

Cao Mang's expression changed slightly, and he bowed his head and said, "I understand, but..."

Seeing him hesitant, the queen put down the cup, which made a slight knocking sound against the table.

Cao Mang raised his eyes and glanced, then continued, "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be quite wary of me. The person sent to monitor the assassination of the Fourth Prince will not return."

The queen stroked Dan Kou on her little finger, her voice cold and without any ups and downs, "A pet kept in a cage for a long time will inevitably hide its anger. It's better to let him cool down. One day, he will understand my painstaking efforts."

"Your Majesty is wholeheartedly concerned about the Crown Prince's future, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost took the Fourth Prince's life," Cao Mang said.

"What did you say?"

The queen paused for a moment, frowned, and cracks appeared on her delicate makeup. The look she shot at Cao Mang was extremely sharp.

Cao Mang seemed to have expected the queen to be furious, so he lowered his head a little further and continued, "The fourth prince was ambushed on his way back to the capital from Youzhou. He was shot in the right arm and fell into a coma when he returned to the palace."

The Queen asked, "Are you worried about your life?"

"The imperial physician went to check it out and managed to save his life."

The queen visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she suddenly waved her sleeves towards the cups on the small table.

With a crisp sound, the peony flower cup shattered into pieces at Cao Mang's feet.

"The Emperor wants to use the Fourth Prince to check and balance the Crown Prince and me, and I need to use the Fourth Prince to check and balance Mobei."

The queen rubbed her forehead helplessly, "When will my prince be able to be more stable?"

Cao Mang took two steps forward, took the Queen's hand, and gently pressed her temple. "Everything is prepared, and nothing is prepared. I hope your Majesty will think twice."

The queen's eyes rolled around and she said nothing more.

Shortly after the Double Ninth Festival, the wife of Duke Yan celebrated her birthday.

Duke Yan Cheng of Yan was one of the founding fathers of the country and even saved the life of the crown prince of Zhou.

So even though he was only granted the title of Duke, he was extremely prestigious in the Great Zhou.

During every important festival, if the Duke's Mansion invites them, prominent families will honor them by attending.

Mu Luoheng had a day off today, so he stopped in front of Shaoguang Courtyard early in the morning and waited.

A servant passing by saw this, bowed, and then said he would go and inform his young lady.

But they were all stopped by Mu Luoheng.

If he hadn't been free today, he wouldn't have wanted to attend the Duke's wife's birthday party at all.

Whenever he thought of his mother's instructions, he felt upset.

Only by standing in front of this quiet courtyard, even if only gazing at the main courtyard from afar, can one find a moment of peace.

Although my memory of the night of the Qiao Yiliu incident is a little fuzzy, there is only one thing that is worth being certain of.

That was when he almost violated her.

After what happened, he wanted to see her all the time, but he was more afraid to see her. The image of her helpless and forced crying always echoed in his mind.

She must have trusted him as her elder brother, so she agreed to his unreasonable request without any precautions.

After hearing what A'niang said about the reason for her injury, he felt even more upset.

But Yaoyao acted as if nothing had happened. When they met, she still called him "big brother" with a sweet smile.

He thought that perhaps he should change the way he treated Yaoyao.

Yaoyao always treated him as an elder brother, not an ordinary man.

She only has brotherly love for him, not love between a man and a woman.

That's why she didn't care about what happened that night.

But he cares!
