Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 495 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (32)

Zhao Heng gently stroked her belly, "I never thought I would become a father again."

Shen Shuyi was both amused and exasperated. "Your poison has been cured, becoming a father is only a matter of time."

"And now is just right."

Zhao Heng nodded slightly, "Yes, children are our lucky stars."

Because of this child, all his schemes were easily resolved, and he obtained the position of crown prince without lifting a finger.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Shuyi. Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell, I'm very worried about you."

Shen Shuyi chuckled and shook her head, "Don't worry, I did that on purpose at the banquet, and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all."

Zhao Heng pressed his face against hers and exclaimed, "Shuyi, you're so good." So good that it felt like a dream, as if she would disappear the moment he opened his eyes.

Realizing this, Zhao Heng instinctively hugged her even tighter.

"Shuyi, you are the only one in my life, even if I ascend to that position."

Shen Shuyi teased, "Would the prince leave his harem empty for me?"

"Of course," Zhao Heng smiled, "You're the only one by my side."

That night, Zhao Heng held her carefully as they slept, feeling frightened by the thought of his recent indulgence.

……

In the general's mansion, Shen Jing was shocked to learn that his eldest daughter was pregnant.

Then he thought of how his eldest daughter had never returned to the general's mansion since her marriage, and he felt a chill in his heart.

But now that Prince Su has become the Crown Prince and his daughter has become the Crown Princess, how could they not repay the General's Mansion with such an honor?

No matter what, Shen Shuyi is still his daughter!

Does she want to be branded as unfilial?
Shen Jingzhen really wanted to ask this unfilial daughter why she was so disobedient!
He's already married Qingyi off from Chang'an, what more does she want!
It's all that bitch Lin's fault. If it weren't for her constant interference, Shuyi wouldn't have drifted apart from him.

If Shuyi had been wholeheartedly dedicated to bringing prosperity to the General's Mansion, he would be incredibly powerful and influential by now, instead of being stripped of his military power and forced to stay at home! His family fortune is now depleted, his concubines are all running away, and he can do nothing about it! He can only live a life of despair!

……

Ever since the news of Shen Shuyi's pregnancy spread and Zhao Heng regained his position as crown prince, the expressions of those ministers who had previously sided with the third, fourth, and seventh princes have all changed.

Those courtiers who had observed the situation without taking sides breathed a sigh of relief, glad they hadn't kicked someone when they were down.
Upon learning of this, Zhao Qiyu, who was being held captive in the Prince's mansion, turned pale instantly. He frowned and exclaimed, "How is this possible!"

He was waiting for his father to calm down and release him, because the position of crown prince would be his sooner or later.

But what happened? Zhao Heng actually became the crown prince again!

“The child in Shen Shuyi’s belly could not possibly be Zhao Heng’s. How could Zhao Heng have any offspring after being poisoned?”

Zhao Qiyu was unwilling to accept this, so he slammed his fist on the table with a "bang".

Just then, someone came to report from outside.

"Your Highness, the Empress has fallen seriously ill, and His Majesty has granted you permission to enter the palace to visit her."

The Emperor naturally knew that the Empress was faking illness, but now that the matter was settled, he hoped that the Empress could persuade the fourth prince not to dwell on it anymore, and that from then on, brothers would be harmonious and respectful, and he would have no regrets.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress lay on her bed, her complexion not looking good.

As soon as Zhao Qiyu entered, he asked, "Mother, whose child is Shen Shuyi carrying?!"

The Empress was feigning illness, but she was indeed feeling unwell. When she saw her son ask about official business as soon as he came in, she felt slightly uncomfortable.

Didn't he see that his mother was sick?

Now is not the time to dwell on this.

"Qi Yu, do you suspect that the child in Shen Shuyi's belly is not Zhao Heng's child at all?" "That's right, I think Zhao Heng is only doing this for the position of Crown Prince."

The Empress gently shook her head. "Even if Zhao Heng doesn't mind, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor, and they wouldn't dare to do that."

"Has Zhao Heng been cured of the poison?" Zhao Qiyu wasn't sure.

The Empress said, "Perhaps it has been cured. Zhao Heng must have found a miracle doctor. Otherwise, how could the epidemic in Qingzhou Prefecture have been cured? I absolutely do not believe that Shen Shuyi has such miraculous medical skills."

Zhao Qiyu said indignantly, "Mother, have we really lost?"

"When will my father lift the ban on me? Now that Zhao Heng is in power, will he retaliate?"

The Empress's face turned completely sinister. "Then let's just go all the way!"

"Mother, what do you intend to do?"

"The most urgent task is to get rid of the fetus in Shen Shuyi's belly."

Zhao Qiyu was still somewhat worried, "If things are exposed, Father Emperor will not spare me this time."

"Your father's health is deteriorating, and we don't have much time left. Once Zhao Heng ascends to the throne, we'll be at his mercy!"

"That's right. Zhao Heng won't let us go." Zhao Heng must know the truth about the assassination attempt in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Qiyu conspired with the Empress before leaving the palace.

……

Before moving into the Eastern Palace, Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng still lived in the Prince Su's Mansion, but there were many more guards than before. Now that it was a turbulent time, Zhao Heng had increased the security force to protect Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi felt he was being too nervous and reassured him, "You don't need to worry too much, I'm perfectly safe in the manor."

Zhao Heng replied, "It's better to be safe than sorry. During this period, I have launched a full-scale counterattack against Zhao Qiyu's faction and clipped his wings. He and the Empress may very well resort to desperate measures."

“If they dare to make a move again this time, the Emperor will not let them off easily.” Shen Shuyi felt that if they made a move, they would be courting death.

Just then, the butler walked in, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhao Heng: "What is it?"

"Your Highness, someone from the Empress's palace has come. Her Majesty the Empress said that the Crown Princess is currently pregnant and unable to serve you, so she specially sent four beautiful and obedient women to serve you."

"The person is still waiting outside the door."

"They beg you to stay, otherwise they will be punished by the Empress when they return to the palace."

The steward knew best about the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's relationship and dared not take it upon himself to bring them in.

Zhao Heng grasped Shen Shuyi's hand and said coldly, "Send them to Zhao Qiyu's mansion and tell them that if they don't want to die, they should keep pestering Zhao Qiyu."

The steward accepted the order and left, leaving only Shen Shuyi and Zhao Heng in the hall.

Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow at him, "The Empress will not give up."

"Is she really out of information? Is she just trying to sow discord?"

Zhao Heng's gaze inadvertently fell on his wife's red lips, and he became somewhat distracted. He didn't want to hear what tricks the Empress was up to.

Shen Shuyi felt the warmth of his hands and saw him hug her, his strong chest pressed against her back, and she felt a little itchy.

Since learning of his pregnancy, Zhao Heng has been extremely careful and dared not touch anything.

But three months have clearly passed.
Zhao Heng peeked at her from behind and saw her flushed face and alluring eyes, which ignited a fire within him.

He gently turned her to face him and eagerly kissed her lips.

The kiss grew more passionate as they kissed. Zhao Heng buried his face in her neck, gently stroking her neck, and said in a hoarse voice, "I knew I was right, you really have grown quite a bit. Shuyi, is it because you're pregnant?"
