Chapter 277 Your Majesty, I Do Not Want Children
Prince's East Palace.
The palace maids were carefully attending to him, afraid of accidentally displeasing the Crown Prince.
The Crown Princess is experiencing severe morning sickness and hasn't eaten properly for two days. The Crown Prince stays by her side day and night whenever he has free time, fearing anything might go wrong.
The Crown Princess was vomiting uncontrollably again. The Crown Prince held her tightly around the waist, gently patting her back with his other hand, his face full of heartache.
Without being told, the palace maid deftly went to pour several more cups of plain water.
After she vomited for a while and calmed down a bit, the Crown Prince immediately took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the Crown Princess's mouth, then brought her warm water to her lips and asked, "Are you alright?"
The Crown Princess was not as lively as Su Mowan to begin with, and her body was not very robust. At this point, she had vomited until she was completely exhausted.
Especially since she hadn't eaten for two days, she appeared even weaker.
She leaned softly against the Crown Prince's chest and said weakly, "I am fine, Your Highness. I have worried you."
The tone still carried a hint of aloofness. The Crown Prince's eyes darkened, and he dismissed the three or four palace maids who were serving him.
The Crown Princess knew he had something to say, so she gently struggled to get out of his arms.
The Crown Prince placed her directly on the bed, staring intently at her, and said, "I know you love Su Mobai, but you and he are not destined to be together in this life. You have already married me, and Su Mobai will never look at you again."
A flicker of panic crossed the Crown Princess's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Your Highness, I don't understand what you're saying."
A bitter smile crept across the Crown Prince's lips as he pulled the blanket up and covered the Crown Princess's shoulders.
"It's fine if you don't understand. What happened that night was my fault. If you don't want a child, you should do it now while you still can..."
The crown prince trailed off, unable to continue.
After that incident, he felt a mix of joy and self-reproach. Gu Ying had someone else in her heart, and he had acted somewhat ungentlemanly at that time, but he couldn't control himself.
When he learned that Gu Ying was pregnant, he was overjoyed but also apprehensive.
His relationship with Gu Ying had become a little closer than before, but seeing how badly Gu Ying had been tormented these past few days filled him with heartache.
In particular, he knew that although Gu Ying did not resist his closeness recently, she was actually unhappy about it.
Although his heart was filled with bitterness and he desperately wanted Gu Ying to have a child with him, seeing Gu Ying's state, he didn't want to force her.
Murong Wei felt that he must be the most frustrated, helpless and useless crown prince in history. The woman he liked was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to touch her easily, let alone force her.
This is what they mean by being overly concerned and cautious.
After saying this, the Crown Prince gave Gu Ying a deep look, then got up to leave. "You rest well, I'll go out for a bit."
Just as she turned around, her hand was gently pulled. Murong Wei composed herself, turned around, and said gently, "Are you feeling unwell again?"
Gu Ying, lying on the bed, didn't know what she wanted to say; she simply couldn't bear it. She knew the Crown Prince had always secretly and patiently loved her, but she couldn't unravel her own feelings.
Just two months ago, the Empress Dowager summoned her and had a talk with her, after which she began to understand.
The previous incident wasn't the Crown Prince's fault; it was actually her own reckless act that caused the trouble.
Seeing the Crown Prince like this again, Gu Ying felt a deep sense of pity.
Seeing the Crown Prince looking at her with gentle eyes, Gu Ying suddenly blurted out, "Your Majesty, I do not not want children."
Murong Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, but then she seemed to remember something and immediately concealed them, saying gently, "When Grandmother summoned you last time, what did she say? You don't need to take it to heart."
Seeing that the Crown Prince was still so restrained, Gu Ying had no choice but to let go of his hand, shrink into the quilt, close her eyes and say, "Your Majesty, I am tired and do not want to talk. Please go and attend to your business."
Murong Wei didn't quite understand her actions or what they meant, so he withdrew his empty hand, added "Take a good rest" before leaving the palace.
As soon as the Crown Prince left, several palace maids rushed in. The head maid saw that the Crown Princess was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, but her eyelashes were trembling slightly, so she knew that she was awake.
So he leaned closer to the bed and whispered, "How are you feeling now?"
Gu Ying took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, opened her eyes, and stared at the ceiling with a somewhat confused look in her eyes.
"Ah Liang, when do you think the Crown Prince found out?"
The head palace maid, A Liang, came to the palace as part of the dowry, so she naturally knew that Gu Ying liked Su Mobai.
Hearing Gu Ying's sudden question, he asked in confusion, "What do you mean the Crown Prince knows?"
Gu Ying turned to look at the head palace maid and whispered, "He knows that I like Su Mobai."
"What!" The head palace maid's face flashed with panic. She looked around and saw that the other maids were all far away and had their heads down, so she also lowered her voice and said, "How could the Crown Prince know? Then... then has the Crown Prince made things difficult for you?"
Gu Ying shook her head, feeling a mix of emotions. "I would feel better if he made things difficult for me."
The head palace maid knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had always been very gentle with the Crown Princess, but to be able to tolerate her after learning that she harbored feelings for another man...
If the head palace maid hadn't known the reason why the Crown Princess was pregnant, she would have suspected that the Crown Prince had forced her.
After thinking for a moment, the head palace maid whispered, "Miss, I think His Highness the Crown Prince truly cares for you. He has been doing so for the past three years, and I am deeply moved by it."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Forgive my bluntness, but a man like Young Master Su is not meant to be with you. You should cherish the person in front of you instead of gazing at the moon in the sky."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ying sighed softly and stroked her lower abdomen. "It's easier said than done. I'm learning to let go, and this is all I can do so far. We'll take it slow from here."

Huangfeng Garden.
After waking up from her nap, Su Mowan realized she had forgotten something important, so she quickly got dressed and headed towards Fenghua Palace.
Yinshuang glanced at the lunch that had just been set out and thought to herself, "I've wasted my time again."
Su Mowan arrived at Fenghua Palace and saw only eight guards standing in front of the palace. She thought to herself, "The other eight are probably still hanging on the cliff."
This matter only needs to be done superficially; it's been going on for several days now, it's about time to let it go.
Thinking this, Su Mowan headed straight for Murong Jing's study. Just as she approached the study, she heard another familiar voice coming from inside.
Just as I was hesitating whether to knock or go in, I heard a soft "Come in" from inside.
Then the door opened, and Feng Yue stood at the door, respectfully inviting her in. Su Mowan hesitated for a moment before going in.
Sitting in front of Murong Jing was Su Mobai, dressed in white. He smiled as he saw her enter.
Looking at the scene before her, Su Mowan sighed, "It's a feast for the eyes to see two such good-looking people sitting together."
cough……
Su Mowan walked over, raised an eyebrow at Su Mobai, and asked, "Why didn't you go to the palace banquet last night?"
Su Mobai smiled like a fox.
"I calculated with my fingers and it was not auspicious to go out yesterday. It's fortunate that I didn't go, otherwise the Emperor would definitely have given the eldest princess to me. Poor Brother Chuwen."
