At this moment, the empress had already arrived at the crown prince's residence. The water was long, and she had just come out of Shangguan Yun's bedroom.

Shangguan Bing and Shui Long happened to meet each other.

"What a coincidence, you're here to see elder sister?" Shangguan Bing asked, looking at Shui Long.

"Mm, she asked me out to admire the flowers today. Coincidentally, she was a bit disgusted, so I went to find a doctor for her and then found out that she was pregnant. She wanted me to stay with her until Esteemed Empress came." Shui laughed leisurely.

Hearing this, Shangguan Bing frowned slightly: "So that's how it is. I've troubled you, my sister is very willful."

"It's nothing. I am already grateful to you for letting my Bing'er recover."

"Oh? "How do you know I made her recover?" Shangguan Bing was amused, he did not go alone.

"In this world, other than you, no one else can save her. So there's no one else other than you, right? " Shui laughed leisurely.

Hearing this, Shangguan Bing nodded without saying anything else.

"How is it? Would you like to come to my place? " Shui Yuehan invited.

"Why?" Shangguan Han asked with a smile.

"Since the empress is here right now, it won't be too convenient for you to go in, so you should take a seat at my place first." Shui Yuehan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Shangguan Bing nodded his head in agreement. In fact, he was going there. After all, Bing-Er wasn't completely cured yet.

"Let's go." As Shangguan Bing said this, she went to her residence with Shui Long.

At the same time, within Shangguan Yun's hall.

The empress looked kindly at Shangguan Yun who was lying on the bed and said, "How is it? Are you all right? Are you feeling uncomfortable? "Truly, child, even if you get pregnant, you still won't tell me. If I knew, I wouldn't have let you go to the banquet to busy yourself."

"I don't know either. His Royal Highness had only been with me that one time, so, I totally didn't expect it." Shangguan Yun blushed slightly, but said the truth.

However, to the empress, it sounded very real, because she could never imagine that this woman would fall for another man, much less have the guts to put on a green hat for the Night Emperor.

"You are fortunate to have a child just once. The crown prince had gone to Ling'er many times, but had never seen her pregnant. However, God is still helping us. If a child like you is born, the crown prince's position will be completely secure and we won't have to worry about anyone else. " The Queen looked at Shangguan Yun as if she was looking at a lucky star.

Listening to the empress's words, Shangguan Yun felt a little sour in her heart. If this child really was the crown prince's, how wonderful would that be?

Unfortunately, it wasn't. This child was her sin. He was her proof of betraying the crown prince.

Surely, when the Crown Prince came back, he would never speak to her again in this life?

Perhaps, he would even divorce her. However, she still wanted to gamble on this. No matter what, the Crown Prince couldn't do anything to her. At most, it would be death.

As she thought about it, a lonely look appeared on Shangguan Yun's face.

Being so disgusted by the man she loved, she was truly suffering. Regardless of whether it was the previous Emperor Yan, or the current Emperor Yan, both of them had never given him love before.

In the past, Emperor Ye Xiu had gently given him an illusion. That man would never take off his mask in front of others, but in front of her, she was able to see his face. That man would never get close to other girls, but he would talk to her.

Because of these special treatment, she thought too much and then had an uncontrollable love affair. The final result was disappointment and sadness.

And now, there was no hope from the very beginning. From the first day the crown prince saw her, he told her that he would never touch her in his life.

This way, it sounds heartbreaking. However, he was not as cold and handsome as the books outside had made him out to be.

"What are you thinking?" Looking at the dazed Shangguan Yun, the Queen asked worriedly.

Shangguan Yun shook her head and replied, "No, I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just thinking about what I should do if His Highness doesn't like this child …"

"How could that be? Is this really his child? How could he not even want his own child?" The Queen looked at Shangguan Yun and said solemnly.

When Shangguan Yun heard this, she smiled, "That's true, His Highness will not reject us."

"En, you don't need to worry. Also, don't go out too much in the future. Your body really isn't fit to go out. If we accidentally touch the child, then the loss will not be worth it. "

the queen warned.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yun nodded.

"Ah, right, about that leisurely matter of water, let's forget about it for now. "First, let's build up some virtue for this child. After this child is born, it's not too late to take care of that woman." The Queen looked at Shangguan Yun and continued.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "Mother is right, I won't do anything to the water."

"That's more like it." The empress looked at Shangguan Yun in satisfaction, then said, "Alright, I'll go take a look at Ling'er first, you can rest first."

With that, the Queen left. After the Queen left, Shangguan Yun finally couldn't hold it in and started crying.

Why, why didn't this child really belong to His Highness the Crown Prince! If it was true, could it be that he didn't need to do anything to the water to help his child? Could it be that he could make the Crown Prince fall in love with him?

But no, he couldn't let His Highness know of this child's existence. He couldn't let Shui Sheng continue to stay here.

How can I get His Highness to forgive me? Shangguan Yun no longer knew what to do next. All she knew was that when the crown prince returned, it would all be over.

The outcome would depend on the crown prince. But before that, she had to do everything she wanted to do.

She wanted to let everyone know that she was pregnant with the child of the crown prince and wanted what she could get.

The crown prince had been depriving her of her rights as a woman for so many years. So now, she wanted it.

Shangguan Yun thought, then helplessly closed her eyes.

Despair spread unceasingly from the bottom of her heart. If love could be repeated, how good would that be?

If she could do it again, she definitely wouldn't have met Emperor Ye back then when she was still young. Moreover, she wouldn't have married the crown prince later on.

If she could do it again, she would have to find a simple man who loved her, just like the Night Emperor.

If she could do it again, she didn't want to know about these two men who had broken her heart. He did not want to compete with other women for love.

Shangguan Yun started sobbing as she thought about it.

Shangguan Yun was crying softly, but no one knew.

On the other side.

When Ling'er's sleeping quarters were informed that her princess consort was pregnant, she flew into a rage. He flung everything in front of him angrily.

"What's the matter? Why are you so angry?" The empress's voice sounded from outside.

Inside the room, Ling'er was in a fit of rage. She hastily put down the chair in her hands and went to greet the empress. "This servant greets the empress. The empress is thousands and thousands of years old."

"Forget it. Let's get up quickly." I have only come here to see you, not to have you pay your respects to me. On the other hand, child, it's been so long since we last met, and you've gotten skinnier again. "

The empress helped Ling'er up. Ling'er looked at the empress, trembling in fear.

Although the empress was very gentle at the moment, Ling'er, who went against her wishes, was still very afraid. The fact that the empress had asked her to give the crown prince's consort something that she had used on herself had caused Ling'er's heart to be filled with fear for the empress.

What she did not know, however, was that this was the empress's plan. It was because she knew very well that she wouldn't give the item to the crown prince's consort. That was why she would do such a thing, all for the sake of torturing her heart.

This was the best way to make Ling'er listen to him.

The empress's thoughts were complicated, but Ling'er didn't know it at the moment.

Seeing how respectful Ling'er was, the empress knew that her plan had succeeded. Ling'er would not dare to disobey her for a short period of time.

"Ling'er, I've troubled you these past few days!" the empress said gently.

Ling'er looked at the empress aggrievedly, her eyes red. "Esteemed empress, Ling'er wishes to return to your side. Ling'er, Ling'er doesn't wish to remain in the crown prince's estate any longer."

"Foolish child, you are already married to the crown prince, how can you go back just like that? If you go back, how would others look at you and how would they look at me? " The empress looked at Ling'er as she spoke.

"But …"

"Alright, no buts. Now that the princess consort is pregnant, you better hurry up. Don't let the princess consort beat you up. After all, you have no other way to stand firm on your feet than this. "

The empress looked at Ling'er as she spoke.

Hearing this, Ling'er looked at the empress nervously. She knew that if the princess consort gave birth to her child, she would be in deep trouble.

The Crown Princess had given birth to a legitimate son, just like the Crown Prince.

If it was him.

Ling'er did not dare to continue thinking about it. She looked at the empress with reddened eyes, feeling for the first time the true cruelty of the harem.

In this world, the true cruelty is never the person who hurts you, but the person who hurts your heart. Let you feel despair. When you despair, you will know what pain is and what hell is.

Even though he was in hell, he could not die, nor could he turn back. This was what Ling'er felt at this moment.

Ling'er looked at the empress for help. However, she understood that the empress wouldn't take back her orders.

From the very beginning, it had been her fault. If she hadn't thought of flying up the branch as a palace maid, there wouldn't have been a day like today.

"Alright, I've already told you what I should tell you. Ling'er, you are a smart child. You have followed me for so many years, you should know what to do. I also know what I hate the most. So, don't do anything to the Crown Princess. I don't care about the Crown Princess, but I do care a lot about the grandson she has in her belly. If anything happens to the Crown Princess, you will have to pay with your life. " With that, the empress left.

Ling'er stared dumbly at the empress's departing back as she began to cry bitterly.

What could be more lamentable in this world?

The Crown Princess was her rival in love, but she had to protect her unborn child so that she could live on.

The empress was really cruel. She hadn't done anything directly to him, nor had she punished him for betraying her, but it was better to be punished instead.

Why? Why couldn't he get along with the empress like Princess Thirteen? Wasn't she supposed to be like her own daughter?

Ling'er cried loudly, but no one came to comfort her.

At the same time, on the other side.

Within a room filled with water. Shangguan Bing sat on the chair and drank the tea brewed by her own hands, smiling beautifully.

"Seems very happy?" Shui Long looked at the man and could not help but ask.

"No, it's very sad." Shangguan Bing looked at the water and said leisurely.

"Sad? You were laughing. " I don't understand water.

"Yes, I'm smiling, but because I'm smiling, I'm unhappy." Shangguan Bing said and took a sip of tea.

"I really can't understand." Shui looked at the man, frowning.
