Chapter 226: Cannot Recognize Me as My Father
There were no outsiders in the hall, and Rong Pei became at a loss. She kept looking at Ling Yunche with an uneasy look.
After Ling Yunche looked around and made sure that there was no one around, he pulled Rong Pei over.
"Why did you abort our child?"
"Why do you call my child the heir to the throne?"
Rong Pei's pupils dilated, and her body went weak. She broke free from Ling Yunche and blurted out.
"how do you know?"
After saying this, Rong Pei regretted it.
She didn't want to either. When the emperor saw her that night while drunk, he thought it was that. She later felt unwell, so the emperor determined that the child in her belly was the heir to the throne.
Rong Pei didn't dare to tell the truth from beginning to end.
Ling Yunche's fierce eyes frightened Rong Pei.
What does he want to do?
Could it be that he was going to kill himself because of this? Rong Pei wanted to escape, and her hand was groping for the small table behind her.
Ling Yunche rushed over and pulled Rong Pei's hand up again. The fierceness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by guilt.
"Rong Pei, I was wrong. I'm sorry for you."
"I can't even protect our children."
"I know you pretended that the child was the heir to the throne so that he could land safely.
I won't tell anyone.
I only ask that you stop thinking about aborting the baby and let me see you and the baby once in a while."
Rong Pei received too much information at once and had to review it carefully in her mind.
Ling Yunche admitted his mistake.
And how did he know that I wanted to take the abortion pills?
As for the emperor's misunderstanding, it was not the same as what Ling Yunche said, but there was no way to tell Ling Yunche the truth.
Rong Pei spoke tentatively.
"How did you know I was going to have an abortion?"
Ling Yunche didn't hear Rong Pei deny that the child was his. He felt very relieved and answered whatever Rong Pei asked.
"I heard Zhao Jiuxiao say that you secretly asked someone for abortion drugs.
Zhao Jiuxiao saw it. He is a simple-minded person and has no idea that you were not favored by the emperor at that time."
"But I know what I did."
Rong Pei blushed at what Ling Yunche said. Ling Yunche was drunk that night, and the lovemaking was now clear in their minds.
“Okay, stop talking, now you know, you can go and report me.
Anyway, I am also frightened. If the emperor hadn't insisted on thinking that way, I really wouldn't want to do such a thing."
Rong Pei felt mixed emotions. She wanted to keep her child, and if it was an heir to the throne, that would be even better. She didn't ask for a prince, but just a princess, who would live a peaceful and prosperous life.
But she was also afraid. She had been pregnant for ten months and was only two months pregnant. She really didn't know how she would be able to hold on for the rest of the journey.
Ling Yunche held Rong Pei's hand tightly and comforted her:
“I was supposed to be a eunuch, but the one who castrated me was a young eunuch whom I had helped before, and he didn’t castrate me.
Otherwise I can't keep this child, he is my, Ling Yunche's child.
It's a pity that I can't recognize him as his father. Even you can only be handed over to the emperor."
Ling Yunche never loved Rong Pei. He didn't know why he felt love for her at this moment. It seemed that he loved her so much that he couldn't let her go.
Rong Pei sighed.
"What's the point of saying this now?"
Rong Pei couldn't help but shed tears. She didn't see anyone cherishing her when they lived together in the past, and it was useless to express her true feelings here now.
"Yes. Let's not talk about this. Today..."
Ling Yunche wanted to say that there was probably something wrong with the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Wutong brought, but that was just Wei Yanwan's guess and he had no idea.
"I've already told the Queen that I'll come and watch over you every day while you take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. This will also be a way of protecting you and the child."
Ling Yunche handed the rattle to Rong Pei.
"I went out of the palace yesterday to buy it. I hope that the first gift after the child is born will be bought by me, the father."
Rong Pei snatched the rattle, feeling angry and annoyed.
"Doctor Li, please prescribe a new prescription."
Ling Yunche still had a lot to say, but time was running out. Yan Wan came back with Doctor Li.
Ling Yunche seized the opportunity and said:
"The child in your belly probably can't be accommodated by many people. I will find someone who can protect him for you."
"Another thing is that the imperial physician has not figured out how many months your baby is in your belly. You must instruct the imperial physician not to tell the actual month of your baby."
Rong Pei was puzzled. She didn't know who Ling Yunche was talking about, nor did she know how to hide her belly which was going to get bigger in the future.
Rong Pei didn't have time to ask Yan Wan and Wu Tong and the others to come back. Doctor Li went to prescribe medicine while mumbling.
Ling Yunche explained to Doctor Li apologetically.
"I am a clumsy servant and have delayed Doctor Li."
While Ling Yunche was speaking, he was picking up broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
Yanwan gave Chunchan a wink, and Chunchan hurried to help Ling Yunche.
In secret,
"Doctor Bao is in Yongshou Palace. Eunuch Ling wants to know what's in the medicine. Remember to go there."
Ling Yunche nodded silently. After cleaning up the broken pieces, the two hid them in their sleeves while no one was paying attention.
Doctor Li looked at Ling Yunche with dissatisfaction.
"You are so clumsy and yet you still serve the medicine. I don't know how you serve the Queen. Do you rely on your face?"
Doctor Li talked about selflessness.
For a moment, Ling Yunche's face turned pale, and Rong Pei's face also looked ugly.
Doctor Li mentioned a point that both Rong Pei and Ling Yunche overlooked.
When Ling Yunche was drunk, he kept calling out "Ruyi."
Ling Yunche felt something was wrong.
"I don't dare to take the words of the imperial physician. I am just a slave to be driven. If I can't do my job well, I am useless."
"Rong Guiren, the Empress has instructed me that when the baby in Rong Guiren's belly is born, she will ask the best embroiderer to embroider some auspicious patterns for the baby in Rong Guiren's belly."
"I heard that Miss Li Xin, who works for Concubine Jia, has good craftsmanship, and the Empress intends to ask her to embroider a pattern for Concubine Rong."
Rong Pei was skeptical that the Ruyi Ling Yunche was talking about was not Ruyi.
Ling Yunche took a deep breath and finally pressed down Rong Pei.
Doctor Li snorted disdainfully.
Yanwan didn't know what the two were talking about, but she found it very interesting and was sure that they were playing a guessing game.
"Well, I've seen enough. I'm leaving now. Eunuch Ling, won't you leave too?"
Yan Wan asked Ling Yunche to leave, but Ling Yunche showed no intention of leaving.
"I would like to ask the imperial physician a few questions on behalf of the Empress."
Doctor Li looked at Ling Yunche helplessly, wondering why it wasn't over yet. He had been so busy these days.
Some are busy writing prescriptions, while others are busy adding abortion-inducing drugs into the prescriptions.
He also had to be careful not to let Rong Pei drink it. He also had to pretend not to see Yan Wan giving Rong Pei the abortion drug.
Really busy.
"Go ahead."
"Mrs. Rong is only a month pregnant. Her Majesty asked me to ask if there is anything she should be careful of."
Doctor Li looked at Ling Yunche. He really wanted to say that a two-month-old fetus was as healthy as a calf, but he couldn't.
"The fetus is only this big, so we have to be very careful. We have to wait until it is firmly seated for three months."
Ling Yunche glanced at Rong Pei, and Rong Pei was relieved. This was the method Ling Yunche mentioned to confirm that the fetus was only one month old.
"In this case, I will go back and report."
As soon as Ling Yunche came out, he went to Yongshou Palace with Yan Wan.
