Cui Yuanqing felt her heartbeat, suddenly opened his eyes, and stared at her with a smile.

Cheng Songan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and tried to turn over, but he held her down tightly, unable to move. She said unhappily, "What are you looking at?"

"Cheng Songan, you are looking for reasons to push me away." Cui Yuanqing said slowly, "You have me in your heart. You are afraid of disrupting my plan, so you refuse to tell me that Prince Jin covets you, because you believe that I will do everything I can to get you back."

"You actually listened to what I said, didn't you?"

"So you promised Ming Zhan and gave up your idea. When you saw that it didn't work, you pushed me to another woman. You wanted me to be clean. If I had another woman, you would give up."

Cheng Songan's heart was pounding and her face turned red with anger. She was angry because he guessed right.

She restrained herself and said calmly: "If I say yes, what will happen? If one day, Xue Tingyun and I are faced with the situation of killing each other, will you help me kill her?"

Cui Yuanqing's eyes changed, and his lust faded a lot. He looked at her intently and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Cheng Songan sneered. He didn't give a direct answer, which meant he wouldn't. He didn't have much affection for Cheng Wanxin. He had hidden her because of Prince Xiang and Si Tui. Now handing her over to the Princess of Xiang was the final compromise. If this person was Xue Tingyun, he couldn't become an enemy of Xue Tingyun and Si Bian.

"You handed Cheng Wanxin over to the Princess of Xiang, not necessarily just to surrender," Cheng Songan said slowly, "because you found out that Cheng Wanxin is not simple, and she is ruthless. She gave herself to the Prince of Xiang not out of necessity, but intentionally."

"You think that having such a person around the King of Xiang might be a big trouble in the future, so you might as well hand her over and get yourself out of this. You know, if we all show our loyalty to the Princess of Xiang, she won't kill Cheng Wanxin again."

It's easy to figure this out.

The prince of Xiang is kind, but he is still a man at heart. He cannot feel the dignity of a man around the princess of Xiang, who is more decisive than him in everything. But in front of a gentle and weak woman like Cheng Wanxin, he is her heaven. He does not play with Cheng Wanxin casually, but pities her sincerely.

But King Xiang was not a fool. This road was difficult to walk, so how could he easily provoke a girl from a noble family who could not be married? Unless this weak and helpless woman took the initiative to find him, making him deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself.

Cheng Wanxin's reason is not difficult to guess. If she can't get Cui Yuanqing, she must get a man who can control him. She knows that King Xiang will definitely let Cui Yuanqing settle her down, and Cui Yuanqing originally hoped to find Xue Tingyun through her, so Cheng Wanxin can get closer to Cui Yuanqing step by step.

Even if she can't get his heart, she can get him.

However, Cheng Songan broke the apparent calm, causing Cheng Wanxin to gradually reveal her true colors.

Cui Yuanqing didn't take Cheng Wanxin seriously, and he didn't even realize that she liked him, but now he realized that she might not know where Xue Tingyun was, and was just using this hope to manipulate Si Tui to do things for her. If the King of Xiang has such a scheming concubine by his side in the future, the harem will be restless, and Ning Zhao might even be threatened.

So he played along and pushed Cheng Wanxin to the Princess of Xiang. He firmly believed that the Princess of Xiang was a sensible person and would not kill Cheng Wanxin immediately to avoid ruining the relationship between her and the King of Xiang.

However, Cheng Songan suddenly mentioned Xue Tingyun again, making it difficult for him to answer for a moment.

While he was stunned, Cheng Songan got up from the bed, combed her hair, and said calmly: "You don't love Xue Tingyun in your heart, but you won't kill her for me. Similarly, I don't love Ming Zhan, but I still want to not marry again for him."

Cui Yuanqing remained silent.

"Young lady, hurry!" Haitang rushed in from outside, stood outside the curtain and shouted inside, "I'm afraid something is going to happen to the second young lady."

Cheng Songan was not panicked. She was not surprised by anything Cheng Wanxin did. She just asked, "What's wrong?"

Haitang pushed aside the curtain, looking panicked: "Taxue sent someone to say that the baby is in labor and bleeding."

The word "seeing blood" made Cui Yuanqing sit up suddenly from the bed. He knew what it meant. He was very close to becoming a father, and it all started with these two words.

"What's going on?" Cui Yuanqing asked with a frown.

Haitang said, "She said she fell, but the people around the princess were quick and caught her. She should be fine, but somehow she got a miscarriage."

Cui Yuanqing sat there in a daze, completely different from his usual strategizing. He seemed to have no idea what to do.

Haitang hesitated, not knowing whether to continue.

Cheng Songan knew that this was most likely a self-torture trick set up by Cheng Wanxin. She originally wanted to put the blame on her, but she didn't expect the princess to go there. But since the princess went, it meant that Cui Yuanqing had really given up on her, so she had to take an even riskier move.

Cheng Songan was somewhat surprised by Cui Yuanqing's reaction. No matter what, if Cheng Wanxin was in trouble, he couldn't explain to King Xiang. She shouted, "Master Cui, you should go over anyway."

Cui Yuanqing finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Will, will the child be lost?"

Haitang frowned. No matter whether he could save the house or not, he would know after he went to take a look. The girl couldn't go. If she went, she would be blackmailed.

Cheng Songan pondered and said, "I've read medical books, and I've also heard a folk saying that goes, 'Seven months old, eight months old, but not so.' Wanxin is seven months old now, so even if she's born prematurely, she can still be raised."

Cui Yuanqing nodded, pulled the quilt from her bed and wrapped it around her, and said softly: "Send someone to check it out, I, I don't want to go."

Cheng Songan's heart seemed to be pierced by needles. He must be thinking of the child who was lost.

She always thought that the child was her own flesh and blood, and that she was the only one who could understand the heart-wrenching pain, but she did not expect that Cui Yuanqing would also be afraid and have things he dared not face.

"What if something happens if you don't go? Should I take the responsibility? Or should the princess do it?" Cheng Songan asked coldly.

Cui Yuanqing took a deep breath, got off the bed, and when he passed by her, he said hoarsely: "You...you wait here..."

Cheng Songan avoided his gaze. His eyes clearly said, "Come with me."

At least he has some conscience.

After Cui Yuanqing left, Cheng Songan asked, "Did you bring the person?"

Haitang nodded: "Qiangwei went there as soon as the princess left. She has been brought to her room now and no one saw it."

Cheng Songan stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Haitang brought her to the door of Qiangwei's room and pushed it open with a creak. The person curled up in the corner suddenly raised his head, eyes full of fear.

Cheng Songan walked over and said in a gentle voice: "Xiangcheng, long time no see."
