I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 97 She will protect this child for her.

Qin Jiuwei led Gao Yunzhi to a small courtyard.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed, and not a sound could be heard from inside.

"This is a friend of mine's yard."

Gao Yunzhi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

But then she heard Qin Jiuwei instruct the servant beside her, "Go forward and kick down the door."

Gao Yunzhi: ?! Aren't we friends?

A tall servant stepped forward and kicked the wooden door hard.

With a loud bang, the door was suddenly kicked open, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.

Inside the house, Chen Huaizhi was so frightened by the noise coming from outside that his body trembled violently.

"What's that sound?" He felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

Liu Niang, who was nestled next to Chen Huaizhi, looked up when she heard this and said, "Why don't we go out and take a look?"

Look who dares to be so bold! Her man is none other than the current imperial son-in-law!

Daring to kick down her courtyard gate, they must be tired of living!

The two hurriedly got up and frantically straightened their disheveled clothes.

Then he strode into the courtyard.

Chen Huaizhi frowned and asked angrily, "Who is it?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Huaizhi's face turned deathly pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

The eldest princess...

How did she get here? How did she find her way here?

He had already done it so discreetly!

But then his heart was gripped by immense fear.

It's over, everything is over...

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe them away, only to find that his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Gao Yunzhi stared at the man and woman standing side by side in the courtyard, stunned as if struck by lightning.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

I shook my head instinctively. No, it's impossible, this is impossible.

Her lips opened and closed, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Her eyes were fixed on the two of them.

The two were dressed in thin clothes, the woman's hair was still a little messy, and there were red marks on her neck that were not covered up at all.

It was obvious what had just happened between the two of them.

Gao Yunzhi's eyes instantly reddened. She hadn't seen wrong, she hadn't seen wrong.

Chen Huaizhi betrayed him; he dared to keep a mistress while she was pregnant!

He actually dared to keep a mistress!

Gao Yunzhi's shock instantly turned into overwhelming rage. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She strode toward Chen Huaizhi, her eyes wide open, and raised her arms straight up.

With a crisp, loud "slap," a heavy slap landed on Chen Huaizhi's face.

A clear red mark immediately appeared on Chen Huaizhi's face.

Then he threw another punch, aiming straight for Chen Huaizhi's chest.

Gao Yunzhi used to play polo; she wasn't a pampered young lady raised in seclusion.

Her punch made Chen Huaizhi grunt and stagger back a few steps.

"Chen Huaizhi! What did you promise me when we got married?! You said you would only have me for the rest of your life, and it hasn't been that long, and you dare to keep a woman outside!"

As she spoke, she kicked Chen Huaizhi again, cursing and crying, her hair falling messily on both sides of her face.

"I trusted you so much, and this is how you treated me!"

Chen Huaizhi was beaten until he was dizzy and disoriented, his face full of fear and embarrassment, but he dared not put up any resistance.

A trickle of blood seeped out, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. His lips trembled as he begged for mercy: "Princess, Princess, it was my fault. I was confused. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again."

"You can hit me, but please don't get angry and hurt the child."

Mentioning the child made Gao Yunzhi even angrier. "How dare you mention the child?!"

Liu Niang was completely terrified. She never expected that the Princess would find her here.

She pressed her lips together tightly, her heart filled with fear.

Seeing that the princess was only focused on beating Chen Huaizhi, he turned around and ran towards the door.

Upon seeing this, Qin Jiuwei immediately shouted, "Stop her!"

The servant reacted swiftly, stepping forward to grab Liu Niang's arm and pinning her to the ground.

Liu Niang kicked her feet wildly on the ground, her embroidered shoes scraping against the stone slabs with a harsh sound.

She cried out in despair, "Princess, spare me! Spare me!"

Qin Jiuwei looked at her coldly.

Whether or not she spares his life depends on Yunzhi's decision.

Gao Yunzhi's eyes were bloodshot. She raised her hand, wanting to slap Chen Huaizhi again.

But her breathing suddenly became rapid and uncontrollable.

His body began to sway, and his steps became unsteady.

Upon seeing this, Chen Huaizhi's eyes widened in horror. He instinctively reached out to support her, but hesitated to actually touch her.

Just then, Gao Yunzhi's body seemed to lose its support and fell straight backward.

Her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and she had already fainted.

"Yunzhi!" Qin Jiuwei rushed forward immediately.

-

The eldest princess's mansion.

Gao Yunzhi lay on the soft couch with her eyes closed.

After taking her pulse, Physician Lin reached out and lifted her eyelids.

"How is it?" Qin Jiuwei asked immediately.

Physician Lin said respectfully, "Princess Consort, please rest assured, the Princess is fine and the pregnancy is still stable."

"Just drink a bowl of medicine to help prevent miscarriage later."

Qin Jiuwei felt a little relieved, but still couldn't help asking, "When will the Princess wake up?"

Physician Lin gently shook his head.

"I can't say for sure, it could be tonight, or it could be tomorrow."

Qin Jiuwei pursed her lips tightly, "I understand. You stay at the Princess's residence tonight and don't go back to the palace yet."

Physician Lin nodded, "Yes."

Given the princess's noble status, he naturally had to stay at her residence.

"Your Highness, the medicine is ready. I will feed it to the Princess."

Qin Jiuwei turned around and took the porcelain bowl from the maid's hand. "No need, I'll do it."

She sat down on the edge of the couch, and Granny Lin carefully helped Gao Yunzhi up.

Qin Jiuwei scooped up a spoonful of herbal medicine and brought the spoon close to her lips.

Qin Jiuwei was completely relieved only after seeing her finish drinking the medicine.

She didn't know if Yunzhi would still want the child now that she knew the truth.

But she wouldn't make decisions for her without her consent.

Before Yunzhi makes a decision, she will protect the child for her.

Qin Jiuwei covered her with the blanket and then stayed by her bedside for an hour.

Seeing that she still showed no sign of leaving, Granny Song couldn't help but say, "Young Madam, it's very late, and the young masters are still waiting for you at home."

Qin Jiuwei pursed her lips tightly.

Indeed, she is no longer alone; she has her own little family to take care of now.

But before leaving, Qin Jiuwei asked in an icy voice, "What about those two? Are they locked up properly?"

"They've all been tied up and locked in the woodshed," said Granny Lin with a stern expression.
