Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 68 The prince wants to please her

Murong Jiu dreamed of two thin children running on the mountain road, with someone chasing them behind, and the sound of dogs barking.

She seemed to be trapped in a dream, her feet stuck in the mire, and she couldn't pull them out no matter how hard she tried.

In the dream, she watched the two children being driven to a dead end. No matter how loud she screamed, no one could hear her. She was so desperate and painful. She knew it was a dream, but she wanted to wake up but couldn't.

She fell into darkness, and no one could help her.

At this moment, warmth seemed to come from her hands, and she was like a duckweed floating in the sea grabbing a life-saving straw, as if someone was calling her.

Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu wake up...

She finally pulled herself out of the mire and opened her eyes.

What came into view was a pair of worried deep eyes and a silver mask.

"My lord?"

When the voice came out, she realized that her voice was hoarse.

Jun Yuyan wanted to pour her a cup of hot tea, but her hand was held tightly.

"No, don't go."

Murong Jiu looked panicked, the despair in her dream still enveloped her deeply. She only knew that she didn't want Jun Yuyan to leave, she didn't want to lose this warmth and fall back into the darkness.

"Ajiu, I won't leave, I will stay here with you."

Jun Yuyan's voice was gentle and had soothing power, and he asked her to lie back on the pillow.

He had never seen such a frightened Murong Jiu.

Fragile, as if caught in the rain, a homeless kitten.

"Ajiu, don't be afraid, no one can hurt you or the child."

Murong Jiu's tears fell silently on the pillow towel. She seemed to be still in a nightmare: "I can't save my child. I am so useless. How could there be such an irresponsible mother like me?"

"It was just a dream, just a nightmare. Dreams are the opposite. Things in dreams will not happen."

No, that was not a dream, that was something that really happened. It was her stupidity that killed two children, and she finally woke up before she died.

She is so sorry.

Suddenly a hand reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. There was a thick layer of calluses on the fingertips. It didn't hurt, but it felt very present.

Her eyes slowly focused and fell on Jun Yuyan's face again.

Sensing her gaze, Jun Yuyan raised the hand that wiped her tears and took off his silver mask.

The long scars on his face have faded a lot, and they no longer exist if you don't stare at them. They are no longer as scary as before. His face is handsome and heroic, with sharp edges and corners, especially a pair of deep eyes that almost made Murong Jiu sink in. .

Murong Jiu finally recovered from the nightmare. She realized that she was still holding his hand tightly, and quickly let go. Her eyes were a little panicked: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was a little unconscious just now."

The disappointment flashed across Jun Yuyan's eyes. He should have thought about how Ah Jiu could hold his hand so tightly when he was awake.

Don't be impatient, don't scare her.

He took his hand back, stood up, poured water and handed it to Murong Jiu's hand.

"Thank you, my lord."

Murong Jiu sat up and drank the warm water in small sips.

Jun Yuyan took the tea cup and said to her: "You are pregnant, so you should not have too much emotional fluctuations. Don't think too much. In the palace, no one can hurt you."

Murong Jiu shook his head: "Your Majesty, I can't stay in the palace forever, and I can't ruin your reputation."

She had originally wanted to say this, but now that she had brought it up, she might as well discuss it with him.

Sooner or later, she would have to leave.

Just as the words came out of her mouth, there was some unexplainable sadness in her heart.

Like reluctance.

This cannot be done, and the knot must be cut quickly.

She raised her head: "Your Majesty, I'm going to..." Jun Yuyan frowned: "Where are you going? You are pregnant and your belly is about to grow. Do you want people in the world to point at your belly and insult you and your child? Even if you are not afraid, what about the child? Do you want him to be pointed at and scolded when he is born?"

"I, I can take the child anonymously."

After saying that, she knew that this was impossible and she had to stay in the capital to take revenge.

What can she do?She couldn't ruin the prince's reputation for her own selfish desires.

It's not too late to make peace now.

"Have you found the father of the child?" Jun Yuyan asked her.

Murong Jiu shook her head. She did not dare to look at Jun Yuyan, fearing that he would think she was a wanton woman.

She frowned, as if she didn't want to talk more about the child's father. Jun Yuyan didn't know whether she was disgusted or what.

It should be disgusting. Losing innocence and becoming pregnant again is a drag, like ruining a woman's life. How can I not hate it?

His chest was shaking and hot, and what he wanted to say reached his throat. He thought about it a thousand times in his mind, and finally swallowed it.

He didn't dare to gamble, so he spread his arms and said, if Ah Jiu is further away from him, where can he chase her?

Now, he can take good care of her and the children, and he can also cultivate more relationships with her.

"I don't care about reputation. You just need to live in the palace and give birth to the child safely."

The most important thing is to let her settle down and stop thinking about reconciliation.

"How can that be done? You already have a beloved woman. No matter how generous she is, she still..."

"She is not in the capital. If you and I reconcile, my father will grant me another marriage."

Murong Jiu understood that she was a good shield, able to block other Yingying Yanyan for him.

Jun Yuyan's eyes flashed slightly: "So you don't have to feel guilty. You and I each get what we need, right?"

She did feel a little more relaxed, but there was a hint of sourness in it.

She lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely explain the matter clearly to the future Princess when we leave in the future."

Jun Yuyan frowned deeper.

He has no experience and doesn't know how to please a woman, and he doesn't want to push Ajiu further away. This is not what he wants.

"Didn't you say that my leg injury is suitable for medicinal bath? How about tomorrow, I will take you and your master to Mingyue Villa to stay for a few days and soak in the hot springs, okay?"

He wanted to create more opportunities to spend time with her.

Going to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs can also relax her mood, better nourish her fetus, and relieve morning sickness.

Murong Jiu was a little moved, but before she could nod, Eunuch Shi's voice suddenly came from outside.

"My lord and princess, there is a decree from the palace. Your Majesty announces that you and the princess are entering the palace!"

Enter the palace?

Could it be that entering the palace at this time was because she was pregnant?
Murong Jiu's eyes showed a bit of panic.

As soon as the news of her pregnancy came out, they were announced to be entering the palace. Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other reason.

The fifth princess must have spread the word, and there was suspicion in the palace.

Her pulse indicates that she is already three months pregnant. Any imperial physician in the palace can tell that. If she enters the palace, the secret will be revealed.

"My lord..."

Jun Yuyan comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid. I will say that I will have a relationship with you during the wedding. As long as the child in your belly is my king's, my father will not say anything."

"But……"

She was afraid that the queen and others would not give in, thus ruining Jun Yuyan's good reputation.

You know, before the substitute marriage, Jun Yuyan's fiancée was Murong Man, not her.
