Of course, she would have preferred also having the corpse of Luo Shiyun—two lives instead of one, all because she should not have gotten her sticky fingers on Big Brother Jin in the first place. Unfortunately, it was only a miscarriage. It was truly a pity that she missed the chance to have Luo Shiyun court death as well.
She was staying in Nanyuan but Luo Shiyun came looking for her as if to show off in front of her. Of course, she would not show mercy. She only needed to muster a little Spiritual Force to make Luo Shiyun fall. She fell on her stomach. It was no wonder that she miscarried.
“Crown Prince, what happened to Yun’er?” The empress looked worriedly at Xi Jin.
“The baby’s gone.” Xi Jin coldly eyed Shen Yunya kneeling on the ground and sneered. “You think you can do whatever you want because you have a baby in the belly. How dare you murder my child!”
“No, I did not. I too am pregnant and about to be a mother, not to mention, my baby belongs to Your Highness too. I definitely would not have harmed her. Your Highness, please believe me.” Shen Yunya sounded upset. She spoke so convincingly that people could not help but believe her words.
In this regard, Xi Jin just snorted and said, “I wanted to let you live to have the baby and then settle the score with you. But you repeatedly challenged my bottom line. I will make you realize it’s too late for regrets.”
Hearing Xi Jin’s words, Shen Yunya’s eyes widened. She looked at him in disbelief as she said, “Your Highness, are you going to kill our child?”
“My child?” Xi Jin looked at her bulging stomach and scoffed, “You are pregnant with a bastard. What does it have to do with me?”
The moment the words came out, it struck the hearts of everyone present like a bolt of lightning. Everyone was very shocked.
“Jin’er, what are you talking about?” the empress asked in disbelief.
The emperor’s face looked grim as he said, “Crown Prince, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Your Highness, you can choose not to believe me. But why do you have to vilify and insult our child? How can you let me down—let our child down in this way?” Shen Yunya cried immediately and accused Xi Jin.
Feng Tianlan frowned and looked at Xi Jin. It appeared he was going to tell the truth today.
“You brutally murdered Dai’er, revealed the fact that Lin’er is pregnant, and killed an innocent child, Shen Yunya, how do you still have the cheek to be alive?” The surge of fury inside Xi Jin had accumulated for a long time.
“I wanted to wait for you to have the baby before revealing the truth. But you didn’t cherish any of the chances you were given…”
Shen Yunya was also angry and yelled at Xi Jin, “No, I am pregnant with your child. You were also my first. The cloth with my first blood was deliberately removed. Xi Jin, I love you so much and did so many things for you. You cannot denigrate me like this! You can’t treat our child in this way.”
She had put all her hope on the child in her belly and counted on the fact that Xi Jin had taken the bewitching elixir to make him reliant on her. That was why she dared to recklessly cause Luo Shiyun’s miscarriage. But now the situation seemed to be beyond her control because Xi Jin simply did not have any intentions of tying himself down to her!
“Yes, I ordered that man to take the cloth with your first blood away. Do you remember Pock-faced Zhou?” Xi Jin looked at her face, his own changing dramatically with a sneer. He was full of distaste as he smirked, “Pock-faced Zhou liked you for a long time, but do you remember how you humiliated him? On the night of May 12th, Pock-faced Zhou was the man you slept with. And later on, it was not me who bestowed favor upon you each time!”
Shen Yunya shook her head incredulously and said confidently, “No, it was clearly you that night. How could it be someone else? I was lucid. The man I saw was you. I remember every mark on your body clearly!”
