The Obsessive Crown Prince Can't Let Me Go-Chapter 15: It’s Impossible to Compromise the Dignity of the Crown Princess Consort for Shen Yinning
Chapter 15: Chapter 15: It’s Impossible to Compromise the Dignity of the Crown Princess Consort for Shen Yinning
Lu Ying accepted the abortion soup and casually drew the bed curtains closed.
Shen Yunxi furrowed her brows tightly. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Things had come to this point, yet the Crown Prince still protected this vile woman, refusing to let her reveal her true face.
Not a single woman in the Eastern Palace had ever made the Crown Prince this attentive!
She glanced anxiously towards Madam Zhang. "Madam Zhang..."
Madam Zhang comforted her softly. "The Crown Prince can have countless concubines, but there is only one Crown Princess Consort—your esteemed self. No matter how much they stir up the heavens, as long as they can’t bear children, they will never be able to shake your position. Madam has told you before, the art of managing a husband lies in balancing restraint and indulgence. If you always constrain the Crown Prince and forbid him from being close to other women, it will only be to your disadvantage."
Shen Yunxi bit her lip in grievance, unwillingly staring at the canopy.
Inside the curtains, Shen Yinning curled up in the corner of the bed clutching the brocade quilt.
The acrid scent of the abortion soup slowly permeated the air, bitter and heavy.
She shook her head. "I won’t drink it..."
Lu Ying observed her silently, his narrow eyes exuding a mountain-like pressure.
Shen Yinning trembled as she lifted her lashes, her voice carrying a trace of pleading. "Lu Ying brother..."
Lu Ying’s gaze remained cold and distant.
He was a man who studied the classics, disdaining those who favored concubines over wives.
As the Crown Prince, he was even less willing to set such a precedent.
For Shen Yinning, he couldn’t allow himself to disgrace the Crown Princess Consort.
What’s more, since ancient times, legitimate and illegitimate births were inherently unequal. He wished for his firstborn son to be borne of his formal wife, not delivered from Shen Yinning’s womb.
Besides, he knew Shen Yinning didn’t love him.
This woman was supremely shrewd and self-interested; whoever benefited her most was the one she loved.
If she were to bear a child, she would only use the child as leverage against him.
Shen Yinning...
She was not fit to be a mother.
He gripped Shen Yinning’s tender cheeks with his broad hand, forcing her to open her mouth.
Shen Yinning struggled. "Lu Ying brother..."
The girl’s sob-choked voice was indistinct.
She exerted all her strength, and astonishingly managed to push Lu Ying away.
Her delicate, snow-white skin now bore vivid crimson fingerprints on her cheeks, making her look extraordinarily pitiable.
She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere in the curtained bed for her to escape.
Lu Ying dragged her into his arms, took a large sip of the abortion soup, and seized the back of her head, forcing the liquid into her mouth.
He repeated this three times until the entire bowl of soup was poured into Shen Yinning’s stomach before he finally stopped.
Shen Yinning hung her head, gasping for breath, tears cascading from her pointed chin onto the brocade quilt.
Lu Ying pulled aside the curtain, threw on his robes, and descended from the bed, handing the porcelain bowl to De Sun. "Is the Crown Princess Consort satisfied now?"
Shen Yunxi hadn’t anticipated that he would act so decisively, not even bothering to coax the wicked woman inside the canopy, directly forcing her to drink the abortion soup.
It seemed the vile woman’s place in the Crown Prince’s heart was not as significant after all?
The thought that this cold and noble man of jade-like refinement would only allow her to bear his legitimate heir filled Shen Yunxi with a surge of sweetness. No matter how other fox spirits schemed, in the end, the Crown Princess Consort could only be her, Shen Yunxi.
She personally helped Lu Ying with his clothing and belt. "Your Highness still has a tender heart for me."
She no longer held Shen Yinning in her thoughts, continuing to fasten Lu Ying’s sash.
Once finished, she wrapped her arm around Lu Ying’s, speaking gently, "Your Highness hasn’t had breakfast yet, has he? I’ve already instructed the staff to prepare an exquisite breakfast in the Eastern Palace. Would you like to join me back at the palace for a meal? Or perhaps, stay here to accompany this sister?"
The last sentence carried overt ridicule and mockery.
She knew well that after such a commotion, the Crown Prince would never remain in Shen Garden.
Just as expected, Lu Ying said, "Back to the palace."
He didn’t glance back at Shen Yinning, directly stepping with Shen Yunxi out of the room.
The attendants hurriedly followed, leaving the once-bustling chamber in silence, with only Shen Yinning and two maids remaining.
Haitang and Wei Yu exchanged a glance and rushed to pull back the bed curtains. They dared not look at Shen Yinning and kept their heads down, asking, "Madam, would you like a bath?"
Shen Yinning pushed them away.
She threw on a light robe and staggered into the west room, unhesitatingly downing a concoction to induce vomiting.
As if dissatisfied with the slow effect of the potion, she began to dig at her throat, mercilessly and swiftly. In mere moments, she had expelled the entire bowl of abortion soup.
Exhausted, she collapsed onto the ground, raven-black hair soaked with cold sweat, clinging tightly to her pale cheeks.
She raised her lashes and suddenly burst into wild laughter.
Her family was slain, leaving her utterly alone. All she had left to gamble with was her body and her dignity.
Lu Ying and Shen Yunxi wanted to force her to drink the abortion soup, but she refused.
With a temperament like his, if she were to conceive, Lu Ying would never force her to abort.
She would conceive Lu Ying’s child.
She would use that child as her bargaining chip!
She would defeat Shen Yunxi and the Shen Family!
She would turn the entire Capital upside down!
"Haha, hahaha!"
The girl laughed with reckless abandon, her voice alluring and wild.
Haitang and Wei Yu, who had come chasing after her, exchanged bewildered looks.
They were maids assigned by the Crown Prince to serve Shen Yinning.
Should they tell the Crown Prince about Madam vomiting the abortion soup?
