At this moment, Li Jingchuan was a desperate and helpless father. His children left him one after another, and his daughter's appearance made him even more panicked and uneasy.

Because of his panic, he did not notice the wetness on his hands.

After putting the man on the bed and stepping back to the bedside, he looked down and saw the shocking bloodstains on his hands.

Li Jingchuan subconsciously put his hands behind his back and wiped the blood off his hands.

Soon, Liu Yuanzheng from the Imperial Hospital came in. Li Jingchuan retreated after seeing this, and before leaving, he took a deep look at the figure on the bed. When he turned around, his red eyes were filled with mist.

Director Liu prescribed medicine and gave acupuncture until late at night, but in the end he failed to save Li Chaoyun's child.

When he heard that Li Chaoyun was fine but the child was gone, Li Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that his daughter was fine, but as for the child, it was also fate, which was not a glorious thing.

The imperial physician saw that the child could not be saved, so he wrote a prescription and left. Princess Yongjia had been taking care of the child in the inner room, not sleeping a wink.

When Li Chaoyun woke up, it was already dawn outside.

She opened her eyes weakly and saw her mother leaning on the bed with her head propped up, her face full of fatigue. Li Chaoyun felt guilty, as she had done nothing for her mother, yet her mother was still worrying about her.

Thinking of this, she unconsciously touched her belly. She also wanted to worry about the child, but she didn't have the chance.

When she raised her hand, she woke Princess Yongjia up.

"Chao Yun, you're awake, how are you?"

Princess Yongjia stood up and came closer to look at Li Chaoyun's face. She helped her up again and ordered someone to bring in the boiled medicine, warm water and candied fruit.

Li Chaoyun was weak and depressed, so he didn't say much and let Princess Yongjia take care of him.

After she had taken the medicine and the servants had left, she said, "Mother, I have nothing left."

When Li Chaoyun said this, his voice trembled, but he pursed his lips tightly, raised his head and held back the tears in his eyes.

She knew that crying at this moment was useless. Instead of crying, she might as well think about how to rescue Chen Ping and how to avenge the child in her belly.

People are like this. When something goes wrong, they only blame others but never look back at themselves.

In fact, the imperial physician's original words were: The fetus is already unstable, and if you continue to drink and have fun, even a god cannot save the fetus.

But Li Chaoyun didn't think so. She only knew that she was frightened because of the Shen family's calculations. And Mr. Zhou could save her child, but was rejected by Shen Zhixiu.

The instigator of all this is the Shen family.

Princess Yongjia felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter like this. How could her daughter, who had been pampered since she was a child, have ever suffered such hardship?

Not only did Li Chaoyun blame the Shen family, she also hated them in her heart.

She held Li Chaoyun's hand tightly, placed her hand on her cheek and gently rubbed it, "Chaoyun, you still have a father and a mother. A father and a mother... and you are the only one left."

Li Chaoyun has nothing, so does she?

Princess Yongjia's eyes were filled with tears, but Li Chaoyun's expression became even more gloomy.

"Mother, I want the Shen family to pay the price."

"I want to use all the strength of the Li family to crush the Shen family. Will mother help me?"

After saying that, she looked up at Princess Yongjia. Since she was a child, her mother had always satisfied her every wish. But what she wanted now was the lives of the entire Shen family.

Princess Yongjia did not think her daughter's words were excessive. She had already lost three sons and could not afford to lose her daughter again. If the whole Li family could overthrow the Shen family, she would be willing to do it.

She rubbed Li Chaoyun's head and said softly, "Don't worry, my son. Mother will definitely help you."

"As long as my mother is here, those who bully you will pay the price."

She patted Li Chaoyun's shoulder gently and was about to say a few words of comfort when she heard a bang and the door of the inner room was pushed open.

Li Jingchuan walked in angrily, "What are you doing? Can't you just live in peace for a few days?"

Li Jingchuan had retreated since the doctor entered the room. However, he did not leave, but stayed outside.

Li Chaoyun tossed and turned for half the night, and he also stayed outside for half the night.

He had thought a lot during these few hours. The Li family went from being a declining family to the top, and then fell and lost the title.

This is what people often say, things change over time.

He could accept all these, as fame, wealth and status were external things. But the death of his sons and grandsons really made Li Jingchuan feel heartbroken.

What happened to his daughter last night also made Li Jingchuan realize completely that nothing is more important than living a good life with his family.

So when he heard the conversation between the mother and daughter just now, he couldn't help but push the door open. He was afraid that the mother and daughter would be blinded by hatred and empty power and do something that would make people regret for the rest of their lives.

Princess Yongjia thought that Li Jingchuan had gone home a long time ago, so she was slightly stunned when she saw him come in, and then said, "Why haven't you gone home to rest yet, Lord? Take care of yourself."

It seemed that he was concerned about Li Jingchuan's health, but in fact he just didn't want to talk to him more.

Seeing his daughter's frail appearance, Li Jingchuan thought of his dead son. He could not help but glare at Princess Yongjia, "Have you had enough of making trouble? Do you want your whole family to reunite with you?"

"I warn you, don't openly become an enemy of the Shen family anymore. Since you've been divorced, just part ways and don't have any more contact with each other."

Before the mother and daughter could react, Li Jingchuan said something that made Princess Yongjia change her expression.

"I have already planned to find a child from the Li family's side branch, and then adopt him and bring him to live with us in the mansion."

"Don't worry, I will find someone younger so that you and your son can develop a relationship."

Li Jingchuan had been thinking about this matter for some time, but he never told her about it because he was afraid that Princess Yongjia would not agree.

Today, when he was outside the door, he made up his mind. He wanted to find an opportunity to discuss it with Princess Yongjia, but when it came to this, he couldn't help but speak.

His thoughts were simple. They wanted to have a son to carry on the family line, and to find a supporter for his daughter for the rest of her life. Even if they had to give up power, it would be good for the family to live a stable life.

But to Princess Yongjia, these words were a humiliation from Li Jingchuan.

She stood up and looked up at Li Jingchuan. "What do you mean? I don't agree to adopt a descendant of the Li family. If we really want to inherit the family line, it should be Chaoyun's children after that."

"As for the title and wealth in the mansion, they are all left to Chaoyun and her future children. They have nothing to do with your Li family's side branch."

What is a branch of the Li family? Are they qualified to compete with her daughter for these?

Li Jingchuan blurted out: "That's not what I meant, don't be unreasonable."

Anyone could hear the impatience in his tone.

Princess Yongjia took a deep breath, and thinking that her daughter still needed to rest, she suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask about these matters. I have my own ideas. Chaoyun still needs to rest, so it's not convenient for Your Majesty to stay here."

Li Jingchuan wanted to say something, but Princess Yongjia obviously didn't want to hear him, so he swallowed the words back.

After giving Princess Yongjia a meaningful look, Li Jingchuan turned and left.
