Chapter 454 "Treat as One's Own"
Yun Hua looked down at her stomach, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Half an hour later, the Imperial Physician, covered in cold sweat, finished taking her pulse. After confirming repeatedly that there was no mistake, he dared to look at the noble man beside him, who was exuding a low pressure. "Your Highness, the lady is indeed pregnant. It's just that the signs of pregnancy are not very obvious. The pregnancy should be within three months."
Crown Prince Yun Hua took a long time to digest this fact before accepting it. This dancing girl really gave him one "surprise" after another!
With a sullen face, he questioned her, "Where is the child's biological father?"
As the child's biological father, he is truly irresponsible, leaving a woman with three children, and another newly conceived one in her belly, to fall into prostitution!
Sang Luo looked at the man's angry handsome face, a mischievous smile curving her lips, "The child's father ran away, maybe he's dead~ If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can be the father of the child in my belly."
She thought Yun Hua would be ashamed and angry, but unexpectedly, he agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll raise it."
She was slightly stunned, "...Is the Crown Prince really going to raise us, mother and child?"
Yun Hua suddenly took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and said firmly, "I will treat this child as my own."
Sang Luo's emotions were complicated, and she didn't know whether to cry or laugh. This was originally his own child, "Then Your Highness must not regret it. I entrust myself and my child to you."
"I will take good care of your child, treating them as my own."
Yun Hua didn't know why he, a dignified Crown Prince, would fall in love with a mere dancing girl at first sight. He prided himself on not being someone who coveted beauty, but he had to admit that when he saw her, he was so mesmerized that he couldn't move. That captivating dance also stirred his soul, and even went against his nature, doing what he despised the most in the past—taking a courtesan from a brothel back to the East Palace and treating her with the courtesy of a main consort. Even the child in her womb was something he desired very much!
She and the child were both his!
Yun Hua instructed the Imperial Physician under his command to prescribe prenatal medicine, using the best, and scolded Sang Luo, "A pregnant woman still dares to do such things, you really are..."
He couldn't bring himself to say harsh words, took a deep breath, and then regretted, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing sooner?"
He said somewhat sadly,
"You didn't consider this Prince as your man, did you?"
"...Royal family members are all unfaithful. I have seen too many pitiful women who are abandoned by their patrons after they are tired of them. I am afraid that Your Highness's feelings for me are just a temporary infatuation, and I dare not bet my future on this shallow love."
Crown Prince Yun Hua's right hand stroked Sang Luo's face, his deep, narrow black eyes gazing at her eyes, and said with heartache, "But my feelings for you are not such a shallow, lustful infatuation."
"..."
"To be honest, this Prince doesn't even know if I was bewitched that day, but I am very clear about my intentions. I want to keep you by my side, take care of you, protect you, and the child in your womb."
The man's voice was gentle and deep, touching a trace of Sang Luo's heartstrings, "Your Highness..."
"After you give birth to the child, I will announce to the outside world that it is my child, and I will make you a formal consort. You don't have to worry about your background and other things. I will arrange everything properly."
Sang Luo sighed in her heart, this silly fox!
She hadn't originally planned to develop so much of a relationship with him, but these sweet words moved even her heart.
Forget it.
Why worry so much?
Anyway, Crown Prince Yun Hua won't live long. Fulfilling his wish in this life is not impossible.
Sang Luo tiptoed and kissed his lips, smiling sweetly, "Your Highness is so good to me, I also like Your Highness."
Crown Prince Yun Hua's heartbeat was in chaos for a moment. Before meeting her, he had never had this feeling.
"By the way, Your Highness, I want to leave the city tomorrow to find someone."
"You can tell me who you want to find, and this Prince will send someone to help you find them."
"That person has something I want in their hands. I have to go there in person."
"Okay, you tell me who it is, and I'll help you find them together."
"Does Your Highness remember the flower guest who snatched the embroidered ball on the day of the ball toss?"
When Crown Prince Yun Hua heard her words, his face showed displeasure, "The second son of the Cangzhou Prefect, a well-known playboy. He originally had an official position, but he has been dismissed and suspended for violating the law. What do you want from him?"
"A jade thumb ring."
With the Crown Prince's help, finding a thumb ring was simple. The next afternoon, Sang Luo went to the Prefect's residence to get the jade thumb ring, but unexpectedly, she also encountered someone she didn't expect—Fei Yuan!
He hadn't made a move for several days. Why would he come to the Prefect's residence?
While the Crown Prince and the Prefect were talking about something, Sang Luo casually found an excuse to leave, pulling Fei Yuan to a deserted corner to question him, "Why are you here? You didn't even tell me."
Fei Yuan's gaze fell on her face, and he suddenly smiled, "You're looking for that fox's soul fragment?"
"Yes, after you left, I found this soul fragment, but unfortunately, there was a small interlude in the middle, but it doesn't matter. Now that the soul fragment has been found, what should we do next? You haven't appeared, so I can only stand still for now."
"Oh? Take out that soul fragment and let me see."
Sang Luo took out the jade thumb ring.
Fei Yuan took it and looked at it, laughing, "This is fake."
Sang Luo widened her eyes, "How could it be! ?"
She clearly felt the aura of Yan's soul fragment on this thumb ring. How could it be fake?!
"This is just an ordinary jade thumb ring. Someone just led a wisp of soul fragment's aura onto this object, deliberately confusing the line of sight."
"...Who did it? Doesn't that mean we've fallen into a trap? What does the other party want to do?"
Just as Fei Yuan was about to say something, he suddenly looked to the front, a charming and playful smile appearing on the corner of his lips.
Crown Prince Yun Hua rushed forward, grabbed Sang Luo's wrist, pulled her into his arms, and looked at Fei Yuan with hostile eyes, asking her, "Who is he?"
Sang Luo looked left and right at the two men, feeling a headache.
Fei Yuan leaned lazily against the wall, watching her leisurely, obviously not planning to help her lie.
Yun Hua guessed something, rarely showing anger, "Is this man the child's biological father?"
"No!" Sang Luo immediately shook her head, "The child's biological father is dead. Now Your Highness is the father of the child in my belly!"
Fei Yuan also moved his eyes to Sang Luo's abdomen, seeming a little surprised.
Crown Prince Yun Hua naturally also saw that the two children did not look like the strange man in front of him, and did not doubt Sang Luo's words, but the two of them were flirting and meeting privately, so the relationship was definitely extraordinary, and he still felt jealous, "What is your relationship with him?"
Sang Luo hadn't had time to think of a reason, and Fei Yuan said with a smile, "I also admire this girl and don't mind being the child's father!"
What's wrong with this dead bird today? As if things aren't chaotic enough, he's deliberately adding to the chaos!
Sang Luo glared at him fiercely, and hurriedly turned back to appease the Crown Prince, whose face was ugly, and said with confidence, "Your Highness, don't worry, I have nothing to do with him. He was just a flower guest who watched the dance in the brothel before. He fell in love with me at first sight a few days ago and entangled me in every possible way, but later he took a fancy to other girls, and I haven't had any contact with him since."
Crown Prince Yun Hua was slightly relieved, and warned Fei Yuan, "Now that she is a member of the East Palace, this Prince will not show mercy to anyone who harasses her!"
Fei Yuan looked at the two of them, the smile on the corner of his lips slightly restrained.
