MARRIED TO A CRUEL CROWN PRINCE

Good for me

Chapter 17: Good for me

Sheng Li was with General Wang Hao in the prison where Su Binxi was taken. His hands were tied with shackles as were his feet. Sheng Li stood at a distance of one meter from Su Binxi and looked at her with a murderous gaze. "Who do you work for?" Sheng Li asked Su Binxi.

"Your Majesty misunderstood. I am not spying on the crown princess," Su Binxi replied and lowered her eyes.

"Do you think I'm stupid? How could anyone know what happened on the wedding night between the crown princess and me? Because a little servant of rumor had surrounded the Palace. Now, tell me who told you if you want to stay. alive," Sheng Li with a grim expression asked Su Binxi.

"Your Majesty, this servant is telling the truth" Su Binxi replied. Sheng Li looked at Wang Hao who lowered his head. Sheng Li then left the prison. Anger was seen on his face due to the strange rumors spreading in the Palace.

As he went to the Inn, he met the fourth Prince, Han Nianzu who slightly lowered her head and asked where he would come from. "I am in the basement, brother Zu," Sheng Li replied.

"Your Majesty, the Palace has some strange rumors about you and His Majesty. How will you deal with it?" Nianzu asked Sheng Li but he did not give any answer. "I'll go then. Have a good day" said Nianzu as he walked away.

"Jian Guozhi managed to spread rumors about my relationship with Ying Lili. The woman didn't listen to me so, I can't even expect any cooperation from her," Sheng Li thought and went to her room where Xing-Fu brought food for her. Seeing Sheng Li's shattered mood, Xing-Fu tried to comfort him.

"Xing-Fu, you have to go. I don't want to talk to anyone. Don't let anyone go inside," Sheng Li ordered the Xing-Fu he received and gently stepped out of the room.

An-Ying Lili finished eating when Court Mistress Xu told her to lie down on the bed. "But, I'm fine, Court Lady Xu. Why am I being checked?" An-Ying Lili asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Physician will examine you to find out if you are healthy enough to bear the royal heir in the future," Court Lady Xu softly replied.

"The future heir?" An-Ying Lili muttered. He was already tense as Su Binxi was taken away and now a new problem appeared before him. The crown princess could not even refuse to do such a thing to him because she was no longer in Juyan but in the Han capital where she had to follow everyone.

Court Lady Xu thought that the crown princess was nervous so she tried to appease His Majesty. "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. It's just a physical examination. Some nerves will be examined by the Royal Physician to ensure that you will not have any difficulty in giving birth to a future Royal heir" the Palace Mistress said. Xu's.

"Will he ... the crown prince not marry Miss Xue?" An-Ying Lili suddenly asked Palace Mistress Xu who was a little confused by the crown princess question.

Ying Lili agreed with Court Mistress Xu. "Your Majesty loves her and if .." the words of the crown princess were cut by Empress Weng Wei whose tone was slightly angry. "How can the crown princess think like this?" Empress Wei asked Ying Lili as she stopped right in front of her. There were dozens of servants behind him, all of them lowered their heads.

Immediately, An-Ying Lili lowered her eyes. "Your Majesty, please forgive the crown princess for her naive behavior." palace lady Xu intervened and defended the crown princess.

"Pardon this innocent woman, Your Majesty," An-Ying Lili said. Empress Wei had calmed down and she brought An-Ying Lili near the bed. Making the crown princess sit on the bed, the empress sat beside her. "Miss Court Xu, send the other servant out" Empress Wei ordered. Court Lady Xu lowered her head and gestured for the servants to go outside.

"Ying Lili, I'm like your mother. Granted, I can't replace him but I understand your concerns. Everything happened so quickly and you entered the Palace. Does the crown princess know about the Palace rumors?" Empress Wei asked the Crown Princess who shook her head in rejection.

"On the wedding night, the crown prince left the bedroom within minutes. That means your relationship is both fine. The position of the crown prince would be unstable if his wife did not support him. Then, you are seen with the first Prince who in many eyes looks the other way." Ying Lili clutched her robe and lowered her eyes.

The crown princess did not know that the people of the Palace would pay so much attention to her relationship with the crown prince. And, now this physical exam is giving him a headache. “That's why Sheng Li told me to be careful,” thought Ying Lili.

"Is it true that you and the crown prince have a strange relationship with each other? Because before I had seen you two in bed," Empress Wei said. An-Ying Lili raised her head and looked at the Empress who was waiting for a response.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing strange in our relationship," Ying Lili lied to Empress Wei. “Indeed, everything happened so fast but, then I also accept things here. The crown prince is being kind to me and wants me to give enough time to get used to the Palace,” said the crown princess.

"Your Majesty, I give priority to the choice of the crown prince. I mean ... the crown prince loved Miss Xue long before he met me. Forgive me for my wrong words that gave me the wrong idea" the crown princess asserted and lowered her eyes.

The Royal Physician came there and greeted the Empress followed by the crown princess. Empress Wei stood up from the bed and told Ying Lily to lie down who did it. The Royal Physician sat on a chair beside the bed and gently placed his fingers on Ying Lili's wrist. After reading the pulse, the Royal Physician examined the eyes of the crown princess.

After the royal physician finished examining the crown princess, he stood up from the chair and lowered his head in front of Empress Wei. "The crown princess's pulse is good and she is healthy to give birth to a Royal child" the Royal physician said.

Empress Wei smiled brightly and looked at the crown princess. "You're healthy to bear the heir to this kingdom. This is an amazing thing I heard today. Lady Xu, add some dietary fiber and protein in the crown princess's diet" Empress Wei said. The Royal Physician left while Empress Wei left after some time.

"Your Majesty, the Royal Astrologer will come to the Palace tomorrow. He will decide on a good day when the two of you will spend the night together," Court Lady Xu said. Ying Lili nodded at Miss Xu.
