Who said the heir would die out? The concubine is pregnant again!

He actually remembered even that little thing?

Caught red-handed, Yingzhu wished she could disappear into the ground, but she dared not admit it, only shaking her head in panic.

"My clothes got soaked from the snow, and I can't control the snow. It was just an accident. You think I'm too powerful."

Liang Yunqian was too lazy to delve into the past. If she didn't acknowledge it, he wouldn't bring it up again.

"So you're saying I don't attract you in the slightest?"

Sigh! It seems you really don't like me. No wonder you wouldn't answer me no matter how I asked you before; you were just trying to save face for me, afraid of hurting or disappointing me.

Back then, he kept asking her questions, but she always avoided them. Today, however, he suddenly started to feel sorry for himself and sighed sadly, which made Yingzhu feel a little guilty.

"I didn't say anything, and you're already overthinking it again. Are you trying to trick me into saying anything? I knew you weren't up to any good."

Having been exposed, Liang Yunqian didn't want to listen to her scolding, so he simply leaned closer and sealed her lips with his again.

Their soft lips pressed together, lingering in light kisses before deepening into a deep kiss, revealing their longing for each other.

This time, Yingzhu, mindful of his back injury, tried her best to avoid him, but she couldn't catch him and accidentally fell into the tent.

Liang Yunqian then collapsed towards her, like a majestic mountain embracing and surrounding her.

Yingzhu felt inexplicably at ease. She did not resist, but instead cooperated fully, facing the ever-burning flame in her heart with equanimity.

Only by releasing it can she avoid being burned by the flames.

Considering her pregnancy, Liang Yunqian did not act recklessly, but he could hear her disordered breathing and judge from experience that Yingzhu was currently longing for him.

"Do you want to? Tell me..."

Yingzhu's throat was dry, and she playfully punched him lightly, "You're so mean, you're not allowed to ask these questions."

"Why can't I ask? What's wrong with telling me? Tell me, and I can help you."

Liang Yunqian lowered his voice, his tone almost seductive, easily stirring up the desire in her heart.

Having already experienced the pleasures between men and women, Yingzhu naturally understood his unspoken meaning.

The rosy clouds quietly spread to her beautiful face, and Yingzhu gently kissed his shoulder, leaving a row of teeth marks.

"You've bullied me, you'll get what's coming to you."

Liang Yunqian had intended to tease her, but her soft and sweet voice was like a spark that ignited the fire in his heart.

He tilted his head and buried it in her neck, gently inhaling her unique feminine fragrance, and murmured in a hoarse voice.

"You can bully me too."

Since it was his request, she wouldn't stand on ceremony!

Yingzhu suddenly caught his earlobe in her mouth, gently stroking it back and forth, which made Liang Yunqian hiss softly.

She truly understood him best, knowing exactly where his weaknesses lay.

"You've gone astray too, aren't you afraid I won't be able to resist?"

"You have to endure it even if you can't help it," Yingzhu said, knowing that he knew his limits, which made her even more unrestrained.

Little did they know, Liang Yunqian had many tricks up his sleeve! He hadn't just looked at that fire-avoidance diagram for nothing.

He could also play the pipa, producing beautiful melodies on its strings, while simultaneously hearing the melodious sounds emanating from her lips.

This was undoubtedly the greatest reward for him.

"Yingzhu, how are you feeling right now?"

At this moment, he admired her impatient and restless appearance, and asked in a hoarse voice.

Yingzhu blushed and scolded playfully, "I...I didn't feel anything...um..."

"Don't you feel anything? Then I'll stop." Liang Yunqian made a move to pull back, but she subconsciously grabbed his wrist.

"Hey---Why are you like this? You were the one who bullied me first..."

Sensing her dependence, Liang Yunqian chuckled softly.

"Then just say you like me, and I'll keep helping you."

"I won't say it, you're threatening me," Yingzhu huffed, refusing to utter those words.

After careful consideration, Liang Yunqian realized that such sacred words should not be used to threaten her in this way. Even if she said them, it might not be her true feelings. It would be better to wait patiently.

But he wouldn't let her off so easily.

"Then call my name, and I can help you too."

From beginning to end, Yingzhu always called out to the Crown Prince.

She was a little unaccustomed to being called by her name all of a sudden. "Why are you suddenly calling me by my name?"

"You used to call me by my title, not my name. There are many princes, but there is only one Liang Yunqian."

In the dim candlelight, he gazed into her eyes and earnestly expressed his thoughts.

Yingzhu was surprised that he would actually think about these things, and he pestered her again, coaxing her.

"I want to hear you call my name; it feels more intimate."

"Really? Aunt Zhou calls you by your name, very affectionately?"

Why did she have to bring up the very thing she didn't want to talk about?

"That's different. That's just her wishful thinking. I only want to hear you call me that."

Seeing that she had no intention of doing so, Liang Yunqian's heart sank. "Are you and I this distant? You won't even call me by my name? I see you calling other people so naturally."

"You're doing it again?" Yingzhu snorted in dissatisfaction. Liang Yunqian realized he had said the wrong thing, and with no way to deny it, he simply covered her lips with his.

Yingzhu was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she sobbed and begged for mercy, but he took the opportunity to make demands.

"Call me by my name and I won't bully you."

Yingzhu's bright eyes fell on his brow. Calling his name was a simple thing, but she didn't know why she found it hard to say it.

Perhaps subconsciously she didn't feel that she was very close to him?

Even though they slept together, she always felt that there was a river separating her and Liang Yunqian.

Perhaps it was because they hadn't spent enough time together, or perhaps it was because of the difference in their social status; at least for now, she didn't have the courage to overcome that hurdle.

But he insisted on hearing her call his name; if she refused again, he might start overthinking.

After much deliberation, Yingzhu murmured, "Yunqian?"

Her tone was uncertain, even a little timid. Why was his name so hard to pronounce?

Fortunately, she finally managed to call out, and he wasn't picky. Maybe if she calls out a few more times, she'll get used to it!

Liang Yunqian smiled with satisfaction, but he didn't let her go. Instead, he deepened the kiss.

Yingzhu then belatedly realized that she had been tricked!

"You lied to me again. You promised you wouldn't bully me after you called me that!"

"Who made your voice so beautiful? It captivated me, and I just can't stop listening."

"How can you blame me for this? That's clearly an excuse. I won't believe you anymore. Don't try to fool me..."

Her coquettish voice was like celestial music, melodious and pleasant to the ear. Liang Yunqian held her in his arms, helping her while simultaneously plunging himself into deeper torment, yet he found it all sweet.

Just being able to get close to her and smell her sweet fragrance would be the best comfort for him.

Because she was pregnant, Liang Yunqian was unusually restrained tonight, and only made a fuss for a while before letting her go.

Yingzhu tried to turn over and lie down, but he wouldn't let go, embracing her and letting her lean against his shoulder.

"You want to get rid of me after you've used me? That's not right, is it?"

"I'm just worried that you'll overthink things and suffer the consequences. It's better to stay away from you and not give you the chance to have any wild ideas."

The way she argued was so lively and charming; that familiar feeling has finally returned!

She has finally become the same Shen Yingzhu she used to be, quick-witted and eloquent in front of him!

As he watched, Liang Yunqian suddenly smiled. Yingzhu looked up in confusion.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at myself for making trouble for no reason, for overthinking and causing that whole mess, which hurt you and led to such a long period of cold war with me."

You used to be a very cheerful person, and you would joke and tease me. If I hadn't picked a fight with you, you wouldn't have become so taciturn and troubled.

It turns out he's so thoughtful; he even thought of these things.

"You're overthinking it. I just don't have much to say in front of you. I can still be funny when I'm with Qingfeng."

Yingzhu specifically corrected him, making Liang Yunqian even more embarrassed.

"So you're only targeting me?"

"Yeah! Who told you to be so suspicious? How could I be in the mood for jokes with you?"

Although the truth is cruel, it is indeed the truth. Liang Yunqian has no one to blame but himself for being narrow-minded.

"I won't do that again, and no one can drive a wedge between us."

Yingzhu remained unmoved by his promise.

"Don't speak too soon. Who knows how long it will last? You've learned your lesson! I won't easily believe you."

He has gone back on his word many times, so it's only natural that Yingzhu doesn't trust him.

"Fine," Liang Yunqian said, no longer making promises. "Then you just wait and see how I perform in the future. Today we've dealt with Xu Kaishan's matter; tomorrow we'll settle accounts with Xu Fanglin!"

Upon hearing that he was going to try Xu Fanglin, Yingzhu's emotions were inexplicably stirred. Xu Fanglin was the enemy who killed her in her past life, and she had dreamed of taking revenge, but she had endured it for so long because of the disparity in their status and power.

Now that this feud has been exposed ahead of schedule, how will Liang Yunqian deal with Xu Fanglin?

She wanted to ask, but then thought better of it!

No matter how well things are said tonight, things may not develop the way they do tomorrow, after all, this is not just his business.

His act of going to the palace to lodge a complaint was tantamount to acting first and reporting later. Now that Prince Rui is already aware of the situation, how to deal with Xu Fanglin in this Prince's residence is probably not up to Liang Yunqian.
