Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 204 Return to Qingyuguan

Shen Jing entered the palace and presented the account book hidden by the governor of Qingyu Pass to the emperor, and also handed over the evidence of Shen Yuxian's guilt to the emperor, proving that Shen Yuxian was the mastermind behind the incident.

After reading it, the emperor slammed the table in anger, "Chen Yuxian has done so many shameful things!" He was even more angry because his previous protection of Shen Yuxian has now become a joke.

Shen Jing calmly lowered his eyes, not affected by the emperor at all. He only wanted to bring down the second prince and the imperial concubine.

He felt uncomfortable when he thought that he still had to wait for the day when Concubine Shu gave birth. Did he have to wait until then?

No matter what, the second prince’s child is also of royal blood. What if his father is soft-hearted?

He would not give the Second Prince's lineage a chance to make a comeback, so as not to bring trouble to his children's generation.

Concubine Shu sat in the palace crying for several days.

Now she is the only one left in Nanhou Mansion. She is pregnant and she knelt in front of the imperial study to beg the emperor until her legs were numb.

The emperor is so cruel that he has not seen her till now.

She had no choice but to pretend to faint and be carried back to her own palace.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. You still have the little prince now. The Nanhou Mansion will be back in time." The palace maid beside her advised.

"But my family is gone. Although I escaped because I was pregnant, Sheng Chong is gone too. How am I going to live in the future?"

Concubine Shu was crying bitterly, and the baby in her belly was also a threat. Luo Yan had insisted that he stay, and now that Luo Yan was gone, who would protect her?
If the sealed doctor accidentally let the secret slip, she would be doomed.

Concubine Shu felt extremely regretful when she looked at her belly. Her belly was too big and if she had a forced abortion, she didn’t know if she could save her life.

The palace maid kneeling in the corner had a twinkle in her eyes, and she boldly stepped forward and said, "It would be nice if the queen had someone close to her."

Concubine Shu stopped crying suddenly. At this point, she could only think of one close person, the father of her child!

She suddenly felt strong all over. If the Second Prince could help, then she would have nothing to fear.

In the middle of the night, Concubine Shu secretly went to find the second prince.

The second prince didn't want to see Concubine Shu at first, but when he saw the letter saying that she had a son, he was so scared that he hurried over.

"Do you really have my child?"

"If you don't believe me, touch it." Concubine Shu pulled the second prince's hand with grievance.

The second prince immediately let go of her hand in disgust, "Do you think I'm a fool? Aren't you the emperor's child?"

Concubine Shu said coquettishly, "If that's the case, why did you come?"

"I'm not thinking about you. Even though you are pregnant, it's still possible for us to have sex." The second prince smiled obscenely and lifted up his dress.

Concubine Shu lay tenderly on the Second Prince.

"Yijun, the baby in my belly is not the emperor's, but yours. I was too scared at the time, but I couldn't bear to abort it, so I had to lie and say it was the emperor's flesh and blood. Now that the pregnancy is stable, I dare to tell you."

The Second Prince stopped what he was doing immediately, his eyes glued to Concubine Shu's belly, wondering whether he should get rid of the baby. He didn't expect that he would actually give birth to a child.

"Why don't you take birth control pills?"

"Isn't it because you acted recklessly? I told you not to, but you wouldn't listen!" Concubine Shu couldn't help but complain.

She can't have a child just because she wants to. Whether she has an abortion or gives birth to the child, won't she suffer?
When Concubine Shu saw that the Second Prince was in low spirits and looked unhappy, a sense of uneasiness spread in her heart.

"Yijun, you don't want this child, do you?" Concubine Shu didn't want to die, so she quickly advised, "Don't worry, only Luo Yan knows about the child. Now that Luo Yan is dead, no one knows who his biological father is."

The second prince began to smile, thinking that it would be better if he died.

"Now only the imperial physician who took my pulse knows the month of the baby. You just need to help me calm the imperial physician and stop him from speaking, and we will all be safe." Concubine Shu pulled the Second Prince's sleeve coquettishly.

The second prince thought this method was feasible and agreed to the proposal. The two of them stuck together again, immersed in joy, and did not notice the person standing in the dark corner.

Ji Yunchu covered her mouth and dared not make any sound.

She heard that the Second Prince went out to find a woman, so she followed him, just to see who the woman the Second Prince kept outside was. She never thought it was Concubine Shu, and she never thought she would hear the child's secret.

Ji Yunchu ran out quietly, and when she returned to the house, her hands and feet were weak.

Fortunately, they didn't find her, otherwise she would have died there tonight.

At this time, Shen Jing was playing chess in the study. Zhu Sha hurried into the room and said, "Ji Yunchu has seen the Second Prince and Concubine Shu."

"Okay, cut off the concubine's left and right arms first."

Zhusha took the order and went out.

Two days later, the talented people that the imperial concubine had brought with her at a huge expense were either dead or disabled.

"How ridiculous! Who is it?" The imperial concubine's face was distorted with anger.

The eunuch counselor covered the wound on his arm and said, "Madam, I think it was Shen Jing."

"He has not yet secured his position as the Eastern Palace and yet he dares to confront me head-on. I will never let him off easily!"

"I heard that most of Shen Jing's things were moved into the East Palace. He was reluctant to move in because of his first wife."

The imperial concubine stared, "Since Shen Jing returned to the capital, Ji Anyu has never appeared."

"Before, Ji Anyu and Wei Luoyan had a feud, and Wei Luoyan sent many people to assassinate her, but it seems that they failed. What's even more strange is that none of the spies we sent out to follow Shen Jing to Qingyu Pass replied. Perhaps they have died in the hands of Shen Jing's people."

"Shen Jing seems to be afraid that I will know something." The imperial concubine frowned, "Send someone to find out where Ji Anyu is. If you see Ji Anyu, kidnap her to the capital."

Since Shen Jing cares so much about Ji Anyu, she must control Ji Anyu. It's a pity that she didn't use Ji Anyu for her own benefit in the first place.

The imperial concubine's actions soon spread to Shen Jing.

Shen Jing ordered his men to cheer up and act quickly.

He took advantage of Prince Zhong's inattention and secretly led his men out of the capital on horseback.

It was two days later that Shen Ziyan found out that Shen Jing had left.

"Why didn't you stop him?" He pointed at the kneeling secret guards and cursed, "Idiots! Didn't I tell you to tell me immediately if Jing makes any move?"

The secret guard could only remain silent and listen to Shen Ziyan's cursing.

Shen Jing rushed to Qingyu Pass without sleep, changed horses many times on the way, and finally arrived at Qingyu Pass in the shortest time.

As soon as he arrived at Qingyu Pass, he immediately asked someone to report the progress of the search for Ji Anyu.

Ji Anyu didn't know that the world outside had changed.

Yunrong is far away from the capital and has little information, so they live their lives as usual.

Ji Anyu often felt the baby moving in her belly. She looked at the white clouds in the sky, wondering whether Zhusha had found Shen Jing.

She thought about sending someone out to inquire, but she was afraid of exposing her location, so she kept a low profile.

At night, everything was quiet.

Ji Anyu suddenly felt uneasy, and the baby in her belly was moving.
