Chapter 104 (1/2)

After around one hour, Mo Qi Qi slowly opens her eyes.

”You are awake?” she can hear Jun Qian Che's calm and collected voice saying.

She hastily sits up and stares at him, ”Why are you here, Your Majesty? What happened?”

”The Imperial Physician said that you were too emotional and fainted. Other than that, nothing is wrong with your health,” replies him calmly.

When she remembers what happened prior to her losing consciousness, she looks at him intently, ”Your Majesty, was the Imperial Physician pranking chenqie? How is it possible that chenqie is pregnant?”

Jun Qin Che stares at her, his voice turning a lot colder, ”Do you think they will dare to joke about things like this?”

A forlorn expression appears on Mo Qi Qi's face, ”No way! It was just one time and I immediately became pregnant? Why am I so unlucky?”

”Do you really loath the idea of bearing zhen's child?” asks Jun Qian Che in discontent.

”Your Majesty, it is not that chenqie is unhappy, it's just that, this child should not even be here on the first place.  If this child is born, Mo Clan will be twice as powerful. When the time comes, I'm afraid, even you will not be able to subdue them, Your Majesty,” retorts Mo Qi Qi. She does not want this child. She does not want to have a child with Jun Qian Che, of all people. She detests him. That night was a nightmare. Whenever she looks at this child in the future, she will be reminded of what he did to her that night.

”These things are not for the Empress to fret over. It is late, rest early. Now that you are carrying a child, get your acts together. Don't run around blindly again. Zhen will visit you again,” after saying that, Jun Qian Che stands up and leaves.

Mo Qi Qi's chest is full of fury.

Once the Emperor left, Ban Xiang runs in with a bright smile on her face, ”Congratulation, Your Ladyship.”

Mo Qi Qi glares at her, ”What is there to congratulate about? Right now, all I want to do is to kill myself. I should have listened to you. I should have called in the physician long ago. That way, I could have gotten rid of this child without Jun Qian Che knowing.” Now that Jun Qian Che knows everything, the child's fate lies completely in his palm. If he decides he does not want this child, she will offer incense to his ancestors to show grat.i.tude. If he wants this child, then, she might as well just kill him and his entire family. G.o.ds up above, she only wants a simple life, both in this lifetime and in her previous lifetime. Why must you test her so?

Ban Xiang becomes worried when she hears that, ”How could you even have that kind of thoughts, Your Ladyship?   This is your child, your flesh and blood. How could you even have the thoughts of harming him?”

”But this child should not even be here on the first place! I was too negligent. My period has not come and I did not even think much of it. I thought my cycle was interrupted because I was too shocked by the a.s.sa.s.sins. Who would have thought….. I don't want to live anymore!”

”Don't be upset, Your Ladyship. Hadn't you always wanted to give birth to His Majesty's child to strengthen your position? If this child is a prince, no one can even touch your position in the future,” replies Ban Xiang optimistically.

Mo Qi Qi sighs heavily, ”Ban Xiang, you are too naïve. You have no idea how dirty the palace is. Do you think that all the problems will be solved once the child is born? He or she will have Mo Clan behind them. There are so many women inside the harem, do you think they will let my child grow up in peace?”

Ban Xiang remains optimistic, ”This servant thinks that as long as His Majesty is there to protect the little prince or princess, nothing bad can befall them.”

Mo Qi Qi sneers, ”The first one to act would probably be His Majesty himself.”

Ban Xiang gasps in shock, ”Your Ladyship! Even a tiger will not eat it's own cub!”

Mo Qi Qi sighs in regret. ”The imperial family is worse than a tiger. The child's fate now rest completely on the father's hand. Never mind all this. Now that Jun Qian Che knows, we will see what he'd do next. If he really intends to get rid of this child, I will thank him from the bottom of my heart. Enough with this, go to sleep!” Mo Qi Qi lies on her bed and closes her eyes, avoiding from thinking about this matter.

As for Jun Qian Che, even he is not in peace after he returns to Yu Jing Palace. His mind is equally messed as Mo Qi Qi's after receiving the shocking news.   He really needs to consider everything carefully.

The next day, the news of Mo Qi Qi's pregnancy spreads through the palace, shocking the ma.s.ses. Some people does not believe it, others are even bolder by stating that the child is not the Emperor's.
