Chapter 265:I Have His Highness’s Baby in My Body

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Zhao was stunned on the spot. A bold thought appeared in his mind. “Linlang, could it be that you…”

“Your Highness, I’ve loved you for many years, but because of my status, I’ve never dared to climb up the social ladder. Fortunately, Your Highness has lowered the curtain, and I’m also pregnant with Your Highness’s flesh and blood.” Yu Linlang smiled. As she spoke, she pulled Huo Zhao’s hand and placed it on her stomach.

Huo Zhao’s guess was confirmed, and his handsome face flushed with excitement. “Is what you said true? Linlang, I’m too happy! As long as you have this child, you don’t have to be my concubine anymore. Let’s go. I’ll enter the palace to seek the Empress Dowager’s grace. 1 definitely won’t let you be a small concubine!”

That was what Yu Linlang wanted. She lowered her eyes to hide the glint that flashed across them and said slowly, “But this isn’t good, right? If Your Highness does this, you might even anger General Shen. At that time, your marriage with Yaoyao…”

At this moment, Huo Zhao’s heart was filled with the child in Yu Linlang’s stomach. He knew very well that the child in Yu Linlang’s stomach was his father’s first imperial grandson or granddaughter, so he couldn’t care less. “You have an imperial heir in your stomach. A mother is valued by her son. If Shen Liu’an doesn’t want his daughter to be labeled jealous, he won’t do much. Don’t care so much and just come with me.”

Yu Linlang pretended to nod helplessly.

The next morning, in the reception pavilion of the Shen family.

Shen Liu’an, Shen Yifeng, and Shen Yaowei had just returned home and sat down to drink a cup of tea when they heard the butler’s report.

“You said that the Empress Dowager bestowed a marriage on Prince Zhao and made Yu Linlang his secondary consort?” Seeing the butler nod in agreement, Shen Liu’an was extremely angry. His face darkened as he crushed the teacup in his hand.

“Father!” Shen Yaowei frowned with heartache. She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea and tea leaves off Shen Liu’an’s hand. After confirming that his palm was fine, she finally felt relieved. “Father, Prince Zhao and Yu Linlang have long been secretly dating. Whether she becomes a secondary consort or just Prince Zhao’s concubine, the two of them are inseparable.”

Shen Liu’an suppressed the anger in his heart. “Father naturally knows the logic behind this. But they’re too much. You and Prince Zhao are engaged after all. How can Prince Zhao let you off and marry Yu Linlang first?”

“After what happened previously, the Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with Yu Linlang. Why would she suddenly issue an imperial decree to bestow a marriage?” Shen Yifeng asked with a puzzled expression.

Shen Liu’an could no longer sit still. He stood up from his seat with a dark expression. “No matter what the reason is, I don’t agree with this marriage.”

Shen Yaowei rarely saw Shen Liu’an so angry. She hurriedly grabbed his arm and advised, “Father, don’t be angry. This is a small matter. Anyway, 1 won’t really marry Prince Zhao. The person he wants to marry has nothing to do with us.”

When Shen Liu’an looked at Shen Yaowei, his expression instantly returned to gentleness. “Yaoyao, 1 know you don’t mind being wronged, but I can’t watch you suffer. 1’11 enter the palace now. This time, I have to ask His Majesty to cancel your engagement with Prince Zhao. Feng’er, stay at home with your sister.”

Without giving Shen Yaowei a chance to refuse, Shen Liu’an quickened his pace and left.

“Father!” Shen Yaowei looked worriedly at Shen Liu’an’s back as he left. She turned to look at Shen Yifeng and asked, “His Majesty values the engagement between Prince Zhao very much. If Father enters the palace to ask for an imperial edict, what if we anger His Majesty?”

Shen Yifeng was also worried, but when he saw Shen Yaowei’s beautiful face scrunch up in worry, he hurriedly comforted her. “You don’t have to worry too much. Daddy must know what’s best. We just have to wait and see.”

Hearing Shen Yifeng’s words, Shen Yaowei could only suppress the uneasiness in her heart.

Shen Liu’an was swift and decisive as he rushed to the palace in a carriage.

In the imperial study, Huo Yuntian looked at Huo Junhan, who was sitting on the left and drinking tea. He said to Huo Zhao, who was bowing at the table, “Third Brother, quickly greet your Imperial Uncle.”

“Yes.” Huo Zhao didn’t dare to disobey and turned to face Huo Junhan.

Huo Junhan sat calmly in his seat and didn’t move. He didn’t even look at Huo Zhao..
