TEWRAWTEC CH 28

Chapter 28: Pregnant

Yun Mingzhuo’s face was black as the bottom of a pot. He let out a begrudging, “Oh.”

Get dressed? Pah—nineteen years old and still needs him to dress him? How could this damn emperor be so utterly shameless?

“Hurry up and help Us change! We have morning court soon!” Murong Zichen, seeing Yun Mingzhuo dawdle, raised his voice and barked at him again.

Yun Mingzhuo snapped impatiently, “I’m coming, I’m coming!”

Damn it! If you’re in such a rush, dress yourself! What’s with the attitude? He was a consort, not his wet nurse!

Though he thought all that, he still begrudgingly helped Murong Zichen dress.

“You’re so clumsy. If Our future child takes after you, Our empire will be ruined!” Murong Zichen muttered.

Yun Mingzhuo’s expression darkened even further, his teeth grinding from anger. If you despise me so much, then stop forcing me to have your damn child! This bastard emperor wants to be a scumbag and still erect a monument to chastity. Shameless!

Murong Zichen had shared his plan to have Yun Mingzhuo bear a royal heir with Shang Xuan and Qin Yansheng.

Because, although Qin Yansheng was good at putting on a show, he couldn’t stomach the way his man was being so affectionate with a eunuch. One day, he broke down crying and confronted Murong Zichen, demanding to know if he’d grown tired of him and fallen for that eunuch instead.

Seeing his beloved lose it, Murong Zichen hurriedly explained everything to him—confessing that he couldn’t bear to make Yansheng suffer through the ten-month ordeal of pregnancy, so he intended to use Yun Mingzhuo to give them a child that belonged to both of them.

Only then did Qin Yansheng finally let go of his suspicions.

So, it turned out His Majesty was doing it all for them! That was why he touched that eunuch!

Qiangxiang Palace.

Lately, Yun Mingzhuo hadn’t been in a good mood. His brows were always furrowed with worry.

He’d been feeling especially drowsy these days. His appetite had increased, and he found himself particularly craving sour foods.

All these symptoms… seemed to point to one thing: pregnancy.

Yun Mingzhuo was devastated. He wanted to cry but had no tears. Please, please don’t do this to me—not this!

Since Yun Mingzhuo was upset, Mo Hua wasn’t happy either.

Mo Hua was a very quiet and reserved boy. He wanted to cheer Yun Mingzhuo up, but unfortunately, he had no idea how. He could only worry in silence.

“Young Master, come down quickly!”

“Young Master, it’s dangerous!”

As Mo Hua wandered through the palace feeling troubled, he suddenly heard urgent shouting not far off.

He looked up and saw several palace maids standing anxiously beneath a tall tree, all staring up at a boy perched in its branches.

The boy had a delicate and pretty face and fair skin—an incredibly sweet-looking young master. And this boy wasn’t a stranger either—he was someone Yun Mingzhuo used to know… Shang Xuan!

Shang Xuan completely ignored the panicked attendants below, stubbornly climbing higher.

“I’m just getting my kite. Can you all shut up already?” Shang Xuan snapped, clearly irritated.

Had these people never seen someone climb a tree before? All they did was yell!

His kite had gotten stuck in the tree, so naturally, he’d gone up to get it himself.

It was a simple matter, really—yet the servants were acting like he was on a suicide mission.

But just as Shang Xuan reached for his kite, the tree branch beneath his foot suddenly let out a sharp crack—and broke.

Losing his footing, Shang Xuan plummeted downward.

Just when he thought he was about to crash into the earth face-first, something completely unexpected happened—he landed in a pair of warm arms.
