636 The Truth About His Children, Brother Jiu Torturing Scumbags (2)
The secret guard said, “Princess, he’s Prince Yan of the Great Zhou, the younger brother of the current Emperor.”
Nangong Yan curled her lips and said, “How does he know my name is Yan’er?”
The secret guard said, “He said he recognized the wrong person.”
Nangong Yan raised her eyebrows. “Only a fool would believe it!”!!
The secret guard : “…”
“Yan’er!” Nangong Li imitated his tone and murmured. She burst into laughter. “It’s so nice.”
“Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!”
Nangong Yan shuddered and woke up from her sleep. She looked at the cold cage and then at the female envoy who shook her awake. After a while, she realized that she was in the cell of the Dali Temple.
“Why are you here?” Nangong Yan asked.
This female envoy was the Empress’s personal palace maid and had been serving her.
“Her Highness is worried about you and asked me to come and see you. You’ve lost weight. When I called you just now, I didn’t wake you up. I thought you had fainted and boldly called the imperial physician to treat you,” the female envoy said with a happy expression.
Nangong Yan looked at her strangely. “What do you mean by that expression?”
The female envoy said happily, “Congratulations, Your Highness. You’re pregnant!”
Nangong Yan thought she had heard wrongly. “W-what did you say?”
The female envoy said, “The imperial physician has taken your pulse. You’re pregnant! I’ll report to the Empress now. If Her Majesty finds out, she’ll definitely be very happy. His Majesty will also be happy!”
The Emperor and Empress doted on her and were naturally happy that she was pregnant. However, the first person who flashed across Nangong Yan’s mind was not the Empress or the Emperor.
“Is there any news of the Prince Consort?” She grabbed the female envoy’s hand and asked.
The female envoy’s smile froze. She shook her head and said, “No.”
Nangong Yan thought for a while and had an idea. She grabbed the female envoy’s hand tightly and said, “I know where he went… Let me out. I want to tell him this news! I’m pregnant with his child… He’s going to be a father… He’ll be happy… He’ll definitely be happy…”
It was said that even a vicious tiger would not hurt its cubs. No matter how much Prince Yan disliked her, she was pregnant with his child. How could he not return to her side? He could bear to leave Nangong Li and Nangong Xi because they were not his bloodline.
Blood was thicker than water.
No matter how much he doted on Yan Jiuchao, he would dote on the fetus in her stomach.
The female envoy said awkwardly, “This… Your Highness… I can’t take you out without permission… If someone finds out…”
Nangong Yan said seriously, “No one will discover it! Mother and I are here for everything. Mother will protect me! No one will punish you!”
“But…”
“No buts. I’m pregnant now. Do you want to disobey me and make me have a miscarriage?”
“I wouldn’t dare!”
Nangong Yan’s eyes turned cold. “Then quickly give me the token!”
“…Yes!”
The female envoy handed the token to Nangong Yan and exchanged clothes with her. She replaced Nangong Yan and stayed in the prison, while Nangong Yan disguised herself as the female envoy and left the Dali Temple.
Prince Yan had bought a few houses in the Capital. Nangong Yan roughly knew the places, but she was not sure where Prince Yan would stay. She sat in the carriage alone and wandered around the streets for a long time. Finally, she heard the sounds of the little the black eggs near Sishui Street.
This place was extremely far from the Helian Manor. Those little fellows must have appeared here because Prince Yan lived nearby.
Nangong Yan asked the coachman to stop the carriage. She followed the commotion of the children and found the street of Sishui Street.
At this moment, Yu Wan had already brought the three little fellows back to Prince Yan. She still had to take some things from the opposite house, so the courtyard door was ajar.
Nangong Yan pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
“Ahhh! No, no!”
It was Xiaobao’s protest about not taking a shower.
“Then you’re a dirty baby,” Er’bao said in disdain.
“You’re the dirty baby!”
“I’m not! You are!”
“Dabao, tell me! Who’s the dirty baby?”
“It’s you, it’s you! Bleh!” Er’bao stuck out his tongue.
Xiaobao was not to be outdone. “Bleh, bleh, bleh!”
The entire courtyard was filled with the commotion of the two babies.
Nangong Yan touched her stomach that had yet to show and a trace of gentleness flashed across her eyebrows. After waiting for so many years, her wish had finally come true. She no longer had to envy anyone. She had the Prince Consort’s child.
She found the study.
This was the Prince Consort’s favorite place.
The Prince Consort sat quietly in the chair in front of the window, just as he had once done in the Queen Manor. With just a back view, Nangong Yan could not help but cry. She held her stomach and choked. “Prince Consort.”
The Prince Consort ignored her. He didn’t even turn around. This made Nangong Yan’s heart turn cold, but she was not discouraged. She was no longer alone. She had his child.
He doted on children the most, didn’t he?
She took a few light steps and said in a trembling voice, “I know I was in the wrong in the past. You won’t forgive me no matter what I say. I didn’t come today to ask you to forgive my mistake. I want to tell you that I’m pregnant.”
As she spoke, tears flowed down her face. She mustered her courage and took a step forward. “I’m pregnant with our child. You can choose not to forgive me, but you can’t abandon this child. You don’t want him to lose his father the moment he’s born.
“I promise to listen to you in the future. As long as you’re willing to return to my and the children’s side, I can give up the position of the Queen and accompany you back to the Great Zhou to be your Princess Consort Yan.
“The two of us will go far away from the competition in the court and the troubles. This time, I will definitely work hard to be a good wife.”
These were her heartfelt words, but it was said under such an environment after she had suffered a lot. Such a big thing had happened to her in Nanzhao, it was impossible for her to stay any longer. Other than being despised by everyone, there was nothing else for her. Now, there was the Empress protecting her, but the Empress would die one day. Once the Empress passed away, what could she use to fight for the throne with the Eldest Princess who had the holy artifact?
Instead of that, she might as well go far away with this man.
“You… say something.” The Prince Consort remained silent. Nangong Yan could not help but become anxious. “Are you really so heartless that you don’t even care about your own child?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man in the chair finally reacted. He turned around indifferently, revealing his handsome and cold face.
When Nangong Yan saw that face clearly, her heart trembled. “Yan-Yan Jiuchao?” She staggered back a few steps and looked at him in disbelief. “Why… why are you here?”
As expected of father and son, even their backs were so similar. Even their royal temperament was the same.
Yan Jiuchao stood up and walked towards her with a cold expression. “What did you say just now?”
Nangong Yan’s heart beat like a drum, but when she thought of the fetus in her stomach, she suddenly felt confident. So what if he hated her? She was pregnant with his half-brother, and unlike Nangong Li, it was real this time!
She straightened her back and said arrogantly, “I have your father’s child! You better not act rashly!”
“Pfft~” Yan Jiuchao waved his finger in disdain.
Shadow Thirteen walked out of the dark. Nangong Yan was shocked, but before she could come back to her senses, Shadow Thirteen slapped her. Nangong Yan felt a huge internal energy attack. Her stomach ached, and something hot flowed down her leg.
She fell to the ground!
She reached out and touched the skirt of her dress, but was rewarded with blood on her hands.
She was stunned!
Yan Jiuchao slowly walked up to her and looked down at her. His eyes were cold. “Now, do you have it anymore?”
