The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

The Princess Consort of Prince Min was sitting dazedly by the round table when she suddenly heard the maid happily say that the Prince had arrived and looked up abruptly.

Chu Ze, entering the main courtyard for the first time.

Their eyes met, and though no words were exchanged, both saw complex emotions in each other’s eyes.

Imperial Physician Li also rose from his chair, bowed to Chu Ze stiffly, and offered a congratulatory remark. Then he said to the Princess Consort of Prince Min, ”Princess, this is your first pregnancy, and you’re not young anymore. The fetus hasn’t stabilized yet. I will write a prescription for fetus-preserving medicine for you to take.”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min tugged at her lips, ”Thank you, Imperial Physician.”

She glanced at Wan Chun, who forced a smile and said, ”Imperial Physician, this way, please.”

Imperial Physician Li quickly picked up his medicine box, bowed to Chu Ze and the others, and followed Wan Chun out in a hurry.

Indeed, this was the most stifling experience in his career of diagnosing pregnancy; not a trace of joy, just a heavy atmosphere.

Oh dear, staying there any longer felt unbearable.

Reflecting on the couple’s identities, one awkward situation combined with another, creating a truly uncomfortable predicament, oh dear, how fatal it was.

Chu Ze waved his hand, sending the attendants away.

He approached the table, and the Princess Consort of Prince Min stood up, bowed to him.

Chu Ze opened his mouth, sighed, and said, ”Please sit down.”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min sat down, showing him a bitter smile, ”You heard it, right? Heaven certainly finds the drama not lively enough.”

Looking at her abdomen, Chu Ze was uncertain of his feelings; just feeling a bit unsettled at the thought of a tiny life, his heart couldn’t help but race, blood surging.

This tiny life carries half his blood.

The continuation of lineage.

Thinking of these words, Chu Ze clenched his fist.

Seeing him silent, the Princess Consort of Prince Min cast a watery glance at him, then lowered her head, gazing at her abdomen, ”This child truly comes at an inopportune time.”

Chu Ze came back to himself, his eyes flickering with slight anger before returning to calmness, ”You don’t want it?”

”It’s not a matter of wanting or not, seems like the child chose the wrong place,” the Princess Consort of Prince Min said with a hint of sadness, ”My status ensures that his future won’t be carefree. Moreover, will the Emperor allow him to be born?”

Chu Ze replied, ”When anyone reincarnates, how can they choose their birth at will? It’s the same for you and me, as it is for him, everything is destiny.”

The Princess Consort of Prince Min’s fair fingers turned into fists and then relaxed, placing her hands over her abdomen, looking up at him.

”What do you think should be done?”

”What should be done?” Princess Consort Ji’s voice came from the doorway, causing both to turn their heads, and Chu Ze’s face darkened.

Princess Consort Ji saw her son, with her eyes showing a hint of longing and closeness, yet upon seeing his aloofness and indifference, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat saddened.

The Princess Consort of Prince Min stood up and bowed to Princess Consort Ji.

Princess Consort Ji said, ”Sit down.”

She looked at the Princess Consort of Prince Min’s belly, feeling a bit emotional; truly unexpected, just once, and she got pregnant—is this fate?

No matter how displeased she was with the woman, the life within her was the flesh and blood of Ze’er, the only one.

She would protect it at all costs.

”What were you just saying about what should be done? What else can be done? Since the child has come, it’s both your destiny and his, naturally to be born,” Princess Consort Ji disregarded their awkwardness and silence and said, ”You conceived after just one encounter, what does that prove? It proves the child is destined, Heaven insists on granting you a child.”
