“How could that quack, Dong Chaofeng, have examined you several times and not discovered this?”
“He said he had forgotten to tell me.”
“…” Jiang Ning didn’t know where to begin her complaints, so she just gave a bitter smile.
Did he really forget?
That fat old man in the palace had a mind full of tricks, just like a beehive, who knew if he was the one sabotaging things again?
Jiang Ning felt that the Emperor was too cunning and ruthless.
His sons simply couldn’t play him.
Li Hongyuan said, “I have seen the two children; they were both born healthy. You’ve worked hard.”
“You’re too kind.” Jiang Ning replied coldly.
“Do you feel any discomfort now?” he asked again.
“If you weren’t here, pestering me, I could rest quietly and sleep, which would be better.” Jiang Ning said indifferently, “Isn’t it true that you just want children? Now you have a son and a daughter, congratulations on achieving your goal.”
“This Prince is asking you if you still feel any discomfort.”
“No!” Jiang Ning frowned, “Is it that you just can’t stand to see me doing well? Are you here to see if I’m dead or alive so that you can promote your favorite concubine and let her raise a pair of children for you?”
“You —” Li Hongyuan’s face changed, and he stood up, inhaling deeply, “You are weak now, this Prince won’t argue with you.”
Jiang Ning turned her body away from him, facing the inside of the bed, not bothered to look at him.
Li Hongyuan said, “Since the children are born, you should behave and stay in the backyard from now on.”
“What if I don’t comply?”
“Then you might not be able to raise the children.”
“These children are mine!” Jiang Ning suddenly sat up, “No one is allowed to take them away!”
“I am the father of the children; they bear the surname Li,” Li Hongyuan said, “If you want to raise them, behave properly as the Princess Consort of Yu. If you don’t want to, you can leave; there are plenty of people who can raise them.”
“What? You want to drive me away right after I’ve given birth?” Jiang Ning said coldly, “If I go, I’ll take the children with me.”
“That’s impossible. The children are half mine.”
“How ludicrous.” Jiang Ning sneered, “You have the gall to say that. Do you even know when you had these children? If it weren’t for your Emperor Father, you wouldn’t know anything at all. What’s the difference between you and a breeding boar?”
Li Hongyuan was furious, grabbing her chin firmly and saying word by word, “Dare to say that again? Do you think this Prince won’t kill you?”
Almost crushing her chin.
Jiang Ning was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out.
Then, she fainted.
Li Hongyuan, seeing her fall back, panicked and quickly released his grip.
She landed on the pillow.
“Jiang Ning!” Li Hongyuan regretted his actions and immediately called for Imperial Physician Dong.
Imperial Physician Dong examined her and frowned, “Your Highness, the Princess Consort’s body is extremely weak, you must let her rest well. If it leads to severe bleeding, it will be too late.”
“Give me the best medicine!”
“Your Highness, this is not about medicine, the Princess Consort is weak after childbirth, she needs to recuperate in peace, and you mustn’t upset her.”
“This Prince understands.”
“Allow me to wake the Princess Consort, then I will prescribe a remedy to nourish her.”
Imperial Physician Dong took out his silver needles and pricked several points on Jiang Ning’s head.
Jiang Ning woke up, but she didn’t want to see Li Hongyuan.
“You should rest well.”
Li Hongyuan turned to leave.
Jiang Ning called out weakly, “Li Hongyuan, let’s talk.”
Li Hongyuan stopped, “Let’s talk when you’re better; I don’t want to see you like this.”
“We have to talk now.”
“What is it you want to talk about?” Li Hongyuan turned back.
“We shouldn’t be together at all. Constantly despising each other and torturing each other, it’s just tiresome.” Jiang Ning spoke hoarsely, “It’s better for us to part ways now. You want a son, so keep the son. As for the daughter, I want to take her with me..”
