"Crown Prince?"
Qi Jingyu frowned slightly.
To be honest, he did not really like the current Empress, nor did he quite like her legitimate prince.
Pass the throne to him? Qi Jingyu always felt uncomfortable with the idea.
...
Near the southeastern edge, by the sea, in a small mountain village.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Inside a simple and humble bamboo house, a beautiful and graceful woman lay on the bed, beside her, a little boy who looked only three years old.
"Mother, drink the medicine."
The little boy, with a face full of obedience, held a bowl of herbal medicine in his small hands, offering it to his mother lying on the bed.
Gao Mingyue looked at her obedient son and sighed softly.
He was supposed to be of noble birth as an Imperial Grandson, yet here he was, suffering alongside her.
In truth, she did not wish to leave her hometown, but she had no choice, because soon after her intimate encounter with Qi Jingyu, she discovered she was pregnant.
