While Shen Yunya was completely abandoned and recovering in the cold palace, other than Rui’er, who was by her side taking care of her, no one else came close. As she listened to the chirping of insects at night, she only felt her heart becoming increasingly colder. She looked at her belly already showing and could feel the movement of her fetus. The baby in her womb had become her only mental support.
Shen Yunya asked Rui’er often about whether Big Brother Jin had come today or sent any messages.
She spoke the most about Rui’er, saying to report to Big Brother Jin that his son has moved and is naughty, always kicks her and that he must be thinking of his father.
But no matter how much she said and asked, the man she missed so much never came to see her in the end. It was as if she was cut off from the world. That kind of treatment made her feel like ants were gnawing her heart day and night. The pain made her want to die.
In the blink of an eye, it was August. Shen Yunya stood in the dilapidated yard. There were palace guards keeping watch outside the courtyard. If she were not pregnant and could not use her Spiritual Force, she simply did not have to care about these palace guards.
Shen Yunya looked up at the round full moon. It was only the 14th today and the moon was so large and bright. She caressed her already bulging belly. Now that she was nearly five months pregnant and the baby in her belly moved more and more, it gave her happiness and she wanted to share this happiness with Big Brother Jin.
“Rui’er,” Shen Yunya shouted in a low voice as she supported her waist.
Rui’er heard her call and quickly wiped her hands. She trotted over and replied, “Your Highness.”
She addressed her in the same way as before because Shen Yunya still saw herself as Xi Jin’s consort.
“You go and tell Big Brother Jin that my condition has stabilized and that I can see Jiang Ying.” Shen Yunya looked down at her raised belly. More than a month had passed and she had not seen Big Brother Jin. She wanted to see him more than ever, especially since the child in her belly had moved.
And now the only reason she could see him was to go see Jiang Ying. She had promised Shen Qingdai that she would skin Jiang Ying’s face. Otherwise, she would not be able to see Big Brother Jin until she gave birth.
Rui’er glanced at her and answered affirmatively. She tidied her clothes and went to speak to the palace guards. Following which, she left.
An hour later, Rui’er came back again and did not look good.
“How did it go? Where’s Big Brother Jin?” Shen Yunya went up when she saw Rui’er come back. She looked behind her, still holding onto a glimmer of hope.
Rui’er looked at Shen Yunya and frowned. She said, with her head bowed, “The Crown Prince instructed me to give this reply, saying that the condition of Secondary Consort Luo’s fetus is somewhat unstable today. He needs to accompany her. And tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he wants to bring Secondary Consort Luo out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns. He wants you to prepare yourself and he will pick you up the day after tomorrow to go see Jiang Ying.”
Hearing this, Shen Yunya’s expectant expression instantly changed. Her face was contorted, full of hate as she said, “Luo Shiyun!”
The b*tch! She actually had not miscarried even until now. According to Shen Yunya’s calculations, Luo Shiyun was only due half a month later than her. Perhaps she heard her say she wanted to see Xi Jin, so she deliberately said her condition was unstable.
If it had not been for the unexpected occurrence, she’d have gotten rid of the b*stard seed in Luo Shiyun’s womb long ago!
No one could give birth to Xi Jin’s child except for her. No one!
But Shen Yunya looked up at this forsaken courtyard. It was the cold palace here and also guarded by men. Her father and mother were taken away, and her master was in the Shang Institution as well. She basically had no chance to go out, and no one to help her do things.
Thinking about it, Shen Yunya sneered, “Rui’er, you come up with a way to pass a message to Shen Qingdai, telling her that I know the accomplices to her parent’s murder. There was someone else other than my father. Ask her to come see me and I will tell her.”
