Abi insisted that she was never ordered by anyone.
"What happened tonight has nothing to do with anyone else. It was all done by Abi alone."
Duan Yichen half-closed his eyes, "Do you have such courage?"
"Didn't the prince see it with his own eyes?" Abi said calmly and lightly.
Duan Yichen stared at her coldly, raised his eyebrows, waved to the guards on both sides, "Drag her out."
At this moment, Saihan ran over hurriedly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yu was afraid of hurting her, so he quickly gave the guards a look and let her in.
Saihan stumbled in and saw Abi being tied up. She bit her lip and looked directly at Duan Yichen, "Your Majesty, I asked Abi to do it. If you want to arrest her, arrest me!"
"Princess!" Abi was anxious, "Princess, what are you talking about? Go back!"
Duan Yichen walked slowly to Saihan, locking her with sinister eyes, "I can tolerate you committing anything, but I can't let you have thoughts about her!"
"Your Majesty! This matter has nothing to do with the princess. She only said this to protect her slaves!" Abi shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, it was all Abi's fault! Please punish me!"
Saihan resisted the tears from falling and looked at him for a moment, "Yes, she is your treasure and your taboo. No one can touch a hair on her! But what about me? I am you again.
Who is your child?" She pointed to her belly, "Who is this child of yours?"
Duan Yichen's eyes fell on her swollen belly, and a trace of complexity passed by. Then he turned around and said, "Send the princess back."
"yes,"
Someone came forward to pull Saihan, but she struggled, "No, I won't leave! Give Abi back to me! I said, I asked her to do all this!"
Duan Yichen sneered, "Remember, it was your stupidity that killed her! This is the biggest punishment for you!" After saying that, he waved his hand, "Detain him!" He definitely would not leave a threat to Yingying.
Abi was escorted out immediately. Saihan panicked. This was not the result she wanted. She didn't want Abi to die. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, spare Abi, I can't live without her!"
Duan Yichen ignored her plea and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Saihan's whole body twitched, and then her beautiful facial features began to twist. She held her belly and squatted down, looking extremely painful, "It hurts... My stomach hurts so much..."
When the guard saw it, he quickly let go. Zhang Yu said in shock, "My lord, is the princess... about to give birth?"
Duan Yichen frowned, and when he saw her dress gradually stained red with blood, his expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and picked her up, "Call the doctor quickly!"
"It hurts..." Saihan was so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his lips were about to be bitten by her.
Fortunately, the palace had already invited Po Wen, and she hurried to Linglong Pavilion in the middle of the night.
Duan Yichen had been standing outside the house, his handsome face tense. Hearing Saihan's cry from inside the house, his brows furrowed even more.
At this moment, the housekeeper, Uncle Liu, rushed over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Miss Lin, I'm afraid she's going to give birth too!"
"What?!" Duan Yichen's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and rushed towards Mo Yu Pavilion without thinking.
Behind him is Saihan's helpless and desperate voice...
Xiaoxiao suddenly went into labor, and Moyu Pavilion was also very busy.
"Yingying!" Duan Yichen was so anxious that he was about to rush in, but Po Wen stopped him, "Your Majesty, you can't watch a woman give birth to a child, it will cause bad luck!"
Seeing basin after basin of blood being brought out, his heart was clenched tightly.
Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, her vision began to blur, and the pain had left her with no strength to scream.
"Girl, try harder!" Po Wen shouted anxiously, "If you don't try harder, the child will suffocate to death!"
She still had no reaction at all.
"Oh, what should we do?" Po Wen was so anxious that she quickly ordered, "Go and call the prince."
Duan Yichen walked in in a few steps. When he saw the scene inside, his slender eyes were filled with distress. He walked to Xiaoxiao and held her cold hand, "Yingying, do you hear me?"
His voice was distant and ethereal. The busy figures around him and Wen Po's urging voice all seemed to come from the distant sky.
"Yingying..." Duan Yichen called over and over again, but Xiaoxiao slowly closed her eyes.
Her world is pale. She is like a wandering soul, floating up and down in a half-dream and half-awake state. She has forgotten who she is, where she comes from, and where her destination is.
"Xiaoxiao,"
A voice as soft as the wind suddenly woke her up.
Xiaoxiao?!
Is it her?
She tried her best to open her eyes wide, "Who is calling me?"
Gradually, a man as handsome as a god appeared in front of her. "Xiaoxiao," he called her name clearly.
Looking at him blankly, a mist slowly filled his eyes, "...Zifei"
Zifei, is her Zifei!
Xiaoxiao wanted to pounce, but her pounce was in vain. Only then did she realize that she was just a wandering spirit. She became anxious, "Zifei, Zifei!"
"Xiaoxiao," his light eyes only became soft and warm when he stared at her, "Xiaoxiao, don't give up on our child."
"Zifei...where are you?"
His figure became increasingly blurry, and finally, those nostalgic eyes slowly disappeared...
No, no, she doesn't want him to leave, no!
"Zifei——"
The person on the bed opened his eyes suddenly, and Duan Yichen stepped forward excitedly, "Yingying! Yingying! Did you hear that? Listen to me, Yingying, you can't give up, you can't give up!"
Xiaoxiao, don’t give up on our child...
In the dream, he said this.
Half an hour later, a loud cry made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"No!" The experienced Wen Po suddenly exclaimed, "There is another one!"
An hour later, there was another cry, which surprised everyone.
"Yeah, they are twins!"
Duan Yichen stared blankly at the two little guys with wrinkled skin, but extremely beautiful and dazzling. His heart felt as if he had been hit hard at that moment. When the maids put the wrapped twins into his arms,
Their soft little bodies actually frightened him.
He was so afraid that he would hurt them, they were still so small and fragile.
Xiaoxiao was on the bed, her whole body soaked with sweat. She looked at the baby held in Duan Yichen's arms and closed her eyes tiredly...
People here are happy because Xiaoxiao gave birth to twins, but there is a cloud of sadness hanging over Linglong Pavilion.
"Where is the child? Where is my child?"
Saihan sat on the bed with disheveled hair, eyes wide open, and asked everyone in the room.
Wenpo timidly stepped forward and held the baby in her hand to her.
Saihan hurriedly took it and saw the livid little face, as if he was sleeping peacefully, neither crying nor fussing.
"He...is he asleep?" Her voice trembled violently.
"Princess, young prince..." Po Wen turned her face away and did not dare to say any more.
No one thought that the princess would give birth to a stillborn child.
"No! It won't happen! It won't happen!" Saihan suddenly picked up the child like crazy and ran out, "I'm going to find a doctor, go find a doctor for him! He's fine, he must be fine!"
"Stop the princess quickly!" The maids worked together to stop Saihan.
"No!" Saihan hugged the child tightly and shouted hoarsely, "My child is not dead, he is not dead! God will not be so cruel to me! He is not dead -"
When the housekeeper told Duan Yichen the unfortunate news, he was shocked and didn't say a word for a long time.
Silently asking people to take care of Xiaoxiao, he came to Linglong Pavilion.
Pushing the door open, Saihan still hugged the dead baby and huddled in the corner of the bed, "No, no, he won't die, he won't die..."
His eyes fell on her arms, and his heart suddenly ached.
That's his son...
"Your Majesty," Uncle Liu stepped forward and reminded him helplessly, "according to the rules, the young prince must be buried immediately, so that... he can be reincarnated in time."
Duan Yichen gritted his teeth, walked over, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Give him to me."
Saihan hugged him tightly and kept shaking his head.
He took a deep breath and pulled the child out of her arms. When he held her in his arms, the pain of the heart-to-heart connection between father and son made his beautiful cheeks full of sadness. Looking at his little face, he had not yet seen the child.
As soon as I had time to open my eyes...
"Your Majesty..." Uncle Liu couldn't bear his sadness anymore and took the child over.
"No!" Saihan jumped out, "Give me the child! That's my child!"
Duan Yichen blocked her and let her vent all her hatred on him like a crazy lioness, "It was you! You killed him! You executioner! I hate you, I hate you!"
Suddenly, she bit him hard on the shoulder, and she refused to let go until the taste of blood was in her mouth. In the end, she was pulled away by the maid next to her, her beautiful eyes staring at him full of resentment.
.
Duan Yichen frowned and said, "Take good care of the princess."
Get up and walk slowly outside.
That night, he locked himself in his study and drank wine all night.
Early the next morning, he summoned Uncle Liu and said, "Let it be announced to the outside world that the princess has given birth to twins."
Uncle Liu looked at him in surprise. Although he knew that the prince liked Miss Lin, he never expected that it would go to such an extent! By doing this, the prince was leaving all his wealth and the hereditary throne to other people's children!
Uncle Liu struggled for a long time and finally agreed, "Yes,"
He understands the prince and no one will change his decision.
****
****
Six years later.
"Mom, the child is wrong, don't hit me anymore!"
"Mom, if you want to be punished, just punish me. Don't hit my brother!"
In Linglong Pavilion, the sound of a child crying was heard again, which made the servants outside unable to bear it.
"Hey, you said that as soon as the prince left the palace, the princess took out her anger on the two young princes. The children are so young and they are her own flesh and blood. How could she do this?"
"Haven't you heard? These two children were not born to the princess."
"What? Real or fake? Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If the prince hears it, be careful about your life."
"I'm not talking nonsense, this is what my old servant Ding said."
"Oh my god, no wonder, how can this mother-in-law be so cruel! Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a sin!"
