Chapter 11: The Secret Bond
Wen Ruxue suddenly widened her eyes.
Yan Zhi Xi mentioned something from five years ago out of the blue. Could it be that the matter has been exposed? Wen Ruxue's hands trembled slightly.
"How could you forget?"
"Back then, I encountered the injured Emperor in the forest and hid him in a sedan chair, escaping the Crown Prince's pursuit. Xue Er even played a tune for the Emperor using leaves."
Wen Ruxue anxiously recounted the story that Wen Qingyu had told her.
Yan Zhi Xi remained silent. Wen Ruxue gritted her teeth and took out a jade hairpin from the cabinet, identical to the one Yan Zhi Xi treasured.
"This is our token of love. Your Majesty, at that time you had just ascended the throne and came to my house to celebrate my father's birthday. You recognized me at a glance because of this hairpin." Wen Ruxue paused, feeling aggrieved. "Your Majesty, what has happened? Did Xue Er do something wrong to upset you?"
Hearing Wen Ruxue's plaintive voice, Yan Zhi Xi finally felt moved and turned to look at her. "I am not upset; it's just that today Wen Qingyu also played that tune."
Wen Ruxue's nails dug deeply into her palm. "So Your Majesty is doubting Xue Er. Xue Er was once close friends with my sister, and that tune was taught to her by Xue Er..."
So that's how it is; it seems she had overthought things.
Yan Zhi Xi looked at Wen Ruxue's tearful expression and suddenly felt guilty. He apologized to her for a long time before finally managing to make her smile.
During lunch at Mu Xue Palace, Wen Ruxue had little appetite. When Yan Zhi Xi called for the imperial physician to examine her, he suddenly recalled Wen Qingyu's strange behavior that morning.
For some reason, even though Wen Qingyu had been so defiant towards him, Yan Zhi Xi still instructed the physician to visit Chenyu Palace later.
Wen Ruxue gritted her teeth in frustration and said sourly, "It seems the Emperor has been particularly attentive to my sister lately."
Attentive?
Yan Zhi Xi frowned. "Don't think too much. My concern for her is only because her life is now closely tied to yours."
After saying this, a heavy weight finally lifted from Yan Zhi Xi's heart.
It must be this way! It can only be this way!
This was why he had been so concerned about this woman lately.
In the afternoon, while reviewing memorials in the Imperial Study, Zhang Gonggong hurriedly rushed in.
"What is the matter that has you so flustered?" Yan Zhi Xi asked irritably.
Zhang Gonggong struggled to respond, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the physician has just diagnosed that Consort Yu is with child."
Yan Zhi Xi's eyes darkened suddenly as memories of that chaotic night flooded his mind.
He only forced her once in a retaliatory manner, and Wen Qingyu became pregnant with his child.
When Yan Zhi Xi arrived at Chenyu Palace, Wen Qingyu was lying on the bed, quietly closing her eyes, her hand resting on her abdomen, her eyelashes trembling slightly, looking very fragile and helpless.
Wen Qingyu never expected to have a child with the man with whom she had deep-seated enmity. She had tried her best to sever ties with him, but things did not go as she wished.
Yan Zhi Xi looked at her, feeling a mix of emotions.
The imperial physician attentively said to Yan Zhi Xi, "Your Majesty, the child is very healthy. Although Consort Yu's foundation is somewhat weak, I will prescribe some nourishing medicine for the lady..."
"There is no need for nourishing medicine," Yan Zhi Xi calmly interrupted the physician. "Prepare a prescription for an abortion."
Wen Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes. She did not expect Yan Zhi Xi to be so ruthless, even disregarding his own flesh and blood.
The physician hesitated and said, "Your Highness, given the current condition, if we proceed with the abortion, it may... endanger her life."
Yan Zhi Xi pondered for a moment, looking at Wen Qingyu, and said indifferently, "Then take good care of Consort Yu's health. Once Consort Xue is well again, we will terminate this pregnancy."
