Chapter 1117: Pain

ns""That's right.""Go." Mo Yunjing turned and walked out without emotion. Yunliu quickly put Mo Yunjing's cloak on, and followed him out.Mo Yunjing even forgot to ask someone to tell An Xuetang. Right...The child in my womb, is the valley lord's.

Fu'er's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone stunned.

An Xuetang's eyes were fixed on Fu'er's belly, her whole body was stunned. After hearing Fu'er's words, she subconsciously opened her mouth slightly and couldn't speak for a long time.

Is Fu'er carrying Phoenix Ming's child This... when did this happen

Not only was An Xue Tang's mind full of questions, but Ning'er, Shou'er, and Kang'er were also at a loss for words. As sisters who grew up together, how could Fu'er...be pregnant with the valley master's child

At this moment, all they could do was stare blankly at Fu'er. The expressions on the three of them were quite complicated. Perhaps others wouldn't know, but they were very clear: their valley master absolutely couldn't possibly do anything to Fu'er. But...Fu'er was indeed pregnant. Was it that she had lied Or was there truly something between her and the valley master

Yunliu, Shiyi and the others also wore expressions of bewilderment as if they couldn't grasp the situation. However, in their hearts, they were unwilling to believe that the child in Fu’er’s belly was Fengming’s. They had no reason to believe it, after all, they weren't strangers to Fengming. They all knew that Fengming definitely wasn't the type who would do something and then deny it.

If something truly happened between Fu'er and Fengming, how could Fengming have let Fu'er leave back then

I can't understand it... They just don't get it!

An Xuetang stared at Fu'er's belly for a long while before she came back to her senses. She exchanged a glance with Mo Yunjing, then took two more steps forward, her eyes fixed on Fu'er's. "Do you have any basis for what you said"

Fu'er slowly knelt with both knees, her back straight. At this moment, she looked at An Xue Tang, her long eyelashes gradually rolling over tiny teardrops, and her eyes, which should have been lively, instantly dimmed.

An Xuetang's brows furrowed slightly. She couldn't stand the looks people gave her, especially since the person in front of her claimed to be carrying her brother's child. So, looking at Fu'er's hollow and lonely, melancholic eyes, she felt very uneasy.

Ning'er and the other two girls looked at Fu'er's demeanor, their own moods were also quite down. Fu'er now resembled a delicate flower formed from tears, anyone seeing her would surely feel infinite pity. Alas, such Fu'er couldn't evoke sympathy from them; instead, they felt she was putting on an act, performing.

"Your Majesty, the child in my belly truly belongs to Lord Gu. I wonder if you all still remember how Lord Gu suddenly vanished one day No matter how hard you searched, you couldn't find him. In fact, on that very day, Lord Gu was with me."

“...”

An Xuetang had no idea about this, so she subconsciously looked at Mo Yunjing beside her.

What's more, Mo Yunjing actually nodded. That means, Fu'er is telling the truth

An Xuetang calmed her mind, then looked at Fu'er, "So Fu'er, what you mean is that my brother and you are deeply in love So you had a relationship with him And now you are carrying his child"

After An Xuetang asked that question, Fu'er's eyes dimmed, but she still shook her head honestly. "The Valley Master doesn't know of my feelings for him. That day, the Valley Master suddenly fell ill, and he...he did those things to me...in his unconscious state."

"!"

So she was still forced, then

An Xuetang's eyes furrowed even tighter. Was this Fu'er implying that Feng Ming was forcing her

Before An Xuetang could say anything, Ning'er, with a blank expression, coldly said, "You are lying. The valley master's condition after his illness is definitely not as you described. Every time he has a relapse, he will completely faint. How could he possibly do anything to you during a relapse"

The village master fell ill, and Ning'er was the first to discover it. She had witnessed his illness firsthand, as she often stayed by his side when he was unwell in the past.

So she didn't believe that the guild master, in his illness, could do anything overly cruel to Fu'er.

Ning'er still had a sliver of feeling for Fu'er, and she comforted herself in her heart that perhaps Fu'er had disappeared for a particularly important matter or that the Valley Master had asked her to carry out a secret mission.

...to their surprise, the first thing Fu'er did upon returning was to tell them that she was pregnant with the valley master's child ...

I don't know what Ning'er was thinking about, but her gaze towards Fu'er now held no emotion whatsoever. It was as if she were looking at a stranger.

Mo Yunjing raised his head at this moment, a faint guess in his heart, so the look in his eyes when he fell on Fu'er couldn't help but add a touch of unspeakable depth.

Facing Ning'er's questioning, Fu'er didn't show any panic on her face. She calmly looked at Ning'er and said, "Ning'er, you haven't seen the Valley Master fall ill for a long time, have you Do you know that after he arrived in Beijing, he has become more and more frequent with his illnesses, and his condition after each episode has also changed."

"...“ Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ning'er frowned. After entering the capital, especially in recent days, the valley master always found excuses to go out. So she really didn't know how frequently the valley master fell ill, nor did she know what state the valley master was in after falling ill.

After Fu'er finished speaking, seeing that Ning'er didn't speak again, she knew Ning'er had started to waver.

She then looked at An Xuetang, "Your Highness, Fu'er dares to swear to heaven that everything I said just now is true. The child in Fu'er's womb is definitely the Valley Master's. If Fu'er lies, then both Fu'er and the child in her womb will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death."

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. This little Fu’er, in order to convince everyone, even swore a poisonous oath without the slightest hesitation.

An Xuetang looked at her eyes, growing increasingly complicated, "Then what were you hiding for these past few days"

"Because Fu'er is afraid, afraid that the Valley Master will find out that I am pregnant and harm the child in my womb. He wouldn't allow such a thing to happen to any of us four. Even if I told him this child is his, he wouldn't let me and the child in my womb go."

Mo Yunjing's sharp eyes swept over her. "Since you know he won't allow you and the child in your womb to exist, why did you come back"

Fu'er pursed her lips, "Returning to Your Highness, it's because Fu'er heard that the valley master is unwell. I... I really want to know about the valley master's safety. And I believe that the Crown Princess cares so much about this elder brother of hers, she wouldn't stand by and watch my child in my womb come to harm."

In the midst of their conversation, her gaze met An Xue Tang's eyes, "Princess Consort, I wonder if my bet was correct"

An Xuetang remained silent, her deep eyes merely glancing faintly at Fu'er before her. She could sense the change in Fu'er's attitude towards her now, completely different from before. One could say that Fu'er now lacked the respect she once had for her.

And she was clearly using the child in her belly to manipulate her.

An Xuetang did not answer Fu'er's question, and Fu'er didn't seem to be in a hurry to get her answer.

The scene was eerily silent. No one dared to speak.

I don't know how long it had passed, but Fu’er suddenly clutched her stomach, her face contorted in pain. "It hurts,"re burned in the hearts of those few people when they heard Zhao Yan utter such words.As Zhao Yan's close confidants, they had seen his abilities firsthand. Among all the princes, none could match Zha...
