Chapter 574 - 169: Miscarriage_2
Jiang Li felt disoriented as she returned to the days of old, growing up under her father’s teachings.
Such tranquil moments had swiftly passed nearly a month, a month during which the Right Chancellor’s Residence had accumulated much activity, and the time for reaping the rewards had come.
...
Recently, there’d been cause for celebration within the Right Chancellor’s Residence.
Everyone in Yanjing City knew that Princess Yongning had become pregnant not long after marrying into the Li Family a month ago. This was both a blessing and a joyous occasion for the Li Family. The Emperor himself had instructed the Li Family to take good care of Princess Yongning. As such, the servants treated the princess like a deity, providing her with whatever she desired daily. Others looking in could only remark how different it was for a princess to marry; far from any form of restraint, she appeared even more carefree than before.
Princess Yongning resided in the Right Chancellor’s Residence, with a constant supply of nourishing items being delivered and fetus-preserving medicine taken daily. It seemed that the Li Family cared immensely for the child. However, for some reason, Princess Yongning always felt a chill of indifference, rather than warmth, from Li Xian’s gaze on her abdomen.
This made her extremely uneasy, constantly fearing that Li Xian had discovered the true identity of her child. Mei Xiang was always there to reassure her, insisting that if Li Xian truly discovered that the child was not of the Li lineage, he wouldn’t have taken such good care of Princess Yongning. The Li Family, upon receiving such news, would certainly demand an explanation, as they would not take matters lying down considering they were not at fault.
Princess Yongning thought about it and found the logic sound, so she decided to peacefully nurture the child. She touched her abdomen and said, "In a few more days, the child will be three months along."
Three months seemed like a brief period, but Princess Yongning had truly experienced an ordeal. It started with the discovery of her pregnancy, followed by the failed request for the Emperor’s blessing for marriage, and eventually marrying Shen Yurong. On her wedding night, she had to scheme to keep her secret safe, and after much fear and trembling, she managed to fabricate a perfect reason for the child’s existence. Every action here was fraught with tension; she was constantly on edge.
