Reborn as the Crippled King s Beloved

Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Ah Jiu, You are So Beautiful
 

Murong Jiu burst into loud sobs in Jun Yuyan’s arms.

She wept for her foolishness in her past life, wept because the best person was right in front of her, yet she couldn’t see it.

In her last life, if she hadn’t been so obstinate, if she had paid more attention to the person before her, perhaps that tragedy wouldn’t have happened.

She even thought of Jun Yuyan’s death.

Since Jun Yuyan had always known his identity, knew that the child was his, did the Second Prince also know? The Second Prince lured her out of the Prince Mansion under the pretense of protection, but it must have been more like house arrest.

Could it be that the Second Prince used her and the child to threaten Jun Yuyan, to make him volunteer to guard the Frontier Pass, to leave the center of power, to give up the struggle for the throne?

More likely, in his past life, his relentless return to the Capital City had fallen right into the Second Prince’s trap, who had used her and the child as bait!

She remembered, when the news of Jun Yuyan’s death spread, it was the same time her children met with trouble, and she fell seriously ill, morose and despondent, with the servants whispering that she might not live much longer.

Jun Yuyan knew there was a trap, but still, he returned to the capital.

In the end, he died at the bottom of a cliff, his blood drained, and the Second Prince’s subordinates found his body, and to ensure he was dead, they even chopped off his head!

“Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, don’t be sad anymore, it’s my fault, I should have told you earlier,” he said.

Seeing Ah Jiu cry even harder, Jun Yuyan clumsily patted her back to soothe her, not knowing what to do but kept apologizing over and over.

But the more he apologized, the more fiercely Murong Jiu cried.

What was his fault? The one who had made the grave mistakes was herself.

Murong Jiu cried so hard that it seemed as if she was venting all the pain and grievances she had suffered in her past life.

Chun Tao outside heard the crying and was so anxious she thought the Prince was bullying her lady.

She also had to keep an eye on Zhen Zhu, lest she come close and eavesdrop.

Murong Jiu was crying too sadly, Jun Yuyan’s heart was gripped with tightness, and he felt very guilty, uncertain whether revealing the truth today was right or wrong, worried that Ah Jiu’s intense crying might harm her health.

“Ah Jiu, please stop crying, will you? If you’re unhappy or angry, you can beat me up, but don’t hurt yourself and the child,” he pleaded.

As he said this, all of a sudden, Murong Jiu felt a slight movement in her belly.

Murong Jiu stopped crying, stunned, and placed her hand on her stomach, her voice thick with nasal congestion, she said, “The child kicked me, could my emotions be affecting them?”

Upon hearing this, Jun Yuyan’s gaze couldn’t move away from her stomach, the child… the child could kick this early?

He hurriedly said, “Ah Jiu, they are comforting you, telling you not to cry.”

After he spoke, Murong Jiu felt another kick in her belly.

“It moved again!”

Was it because they heard Jun Yuyan’s voice?

Did they know this was their daddy?

Jun Yuyan was somewhat excited, but he was hesitant to reach out.

Seeing this, Murong Jiu took his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

But now there was no movement again.

“You, you talk and see,” she suggested.

Jun Yuyan’s hand was carefully placed on her belly, which was already slightly protruding, as the twins grew quickly especially after three months, seemingly changing every few days.

His palm was so large that it nearly covered the entire raised area, bringing a sense of security.

But now he didn’t dare to speak out loud, afraid his voice was too loud or too rough, which might scare the little babies inside Ah Jiu’s belly.

Murong Jiu sniffed her nose and looked at his expression, almost unable to suppress a smile, she really liked this sensation of being cherished like a precious pearl.

She said to Jun Yuyan, “It seems they like to hear your voice.”

“Really?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Yuyan felt a very light movement in the palm of his hand, which would have been hard to detect without close attention.

He widened his eyes, his pupils dilated slightly, and joyfully exclaimed, “They kicked me!”

His expression of surprise and joy made Murong Jiu unable to suppress her own laughter, her chest feeling as though it had softened.

The baby inside her moved again, and Jun Yuyan became even more delighted, his gaze also very gentle.

His child had kicked him.

Inside Ah Jiu’s belly was their own flesh and blood.

He spoke a few words to Ah Jiu’s belly, and then they stopped moving, perhaps they were tired.

Jun Yuyan looked up to see Murong Jiu with her eyes reddened from crying, his own eyes revealing a hint of heartache.

“Your veil is soaked with tears, Ah Jiu, let me help you take it off, okay?”

“I, I can do it myself.”

Murong Jiu said shyly, reaching behind her head to untie the knot and remove the veil.

Underneath the veil, there was another layer of gauze, soaked with the green color of the medicinal juice, which had to be removed as it was already drenched.

Jun Yuyan fetched some warm water and dampened a washcloth.

“You can’t see, let me help you wipe off the medication, and later Uncle Zhai can reapply it for you.”

As he said this, he carefully and tenderly wiped her cheeks himself.

Murong Jiu dared not meet his eyes as the relationship between them suddenly became ambiguous, and she didn’t know how to face it for the moment.

Pretend spouses seemingly became real spouses all at once.

“Ah Jiu, you are so beautiful.”

Jun Yuyan suddenly gazed at her face and said, his eyes gleaming with amazement.

“What, what?”

Murong Jiu was astonished because his gaze and words made her cheeks uncontrollably flush with heat.

“I said you’re beautiful.”

Jun Yuyan chuckled softly, stood up to get a bronze mirror, and held it in front of Murong Jiu.

Murong Jiu looked at the mirror and was stunned, her hand subconsciously reaching for her face: “My birthmark, it’s gone?”

Her master had mentioned before that applying the medicine a few more times would completely remove it, but Murong Jiu didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

Looking at the smooth, fair complexion in the mirror, her eyes brimmed with tears.

Finally, finally, she no longer had to bear that unsightly black birthmark!

“Ah Jiu, if you cry more, your eyes will swell up like walnuts,”

Jun Yuyan tenderly said to her.

He also felt happy for her.

In truth, he didn’t care what Ah Jiu looked like, but without the birthmark, Ah Jiu could be more confident.

Murong Jiu laughed out loud; her eyes in the mirror were indeed a bit red and swollen, but the walnuts Prince mentioned were an exaggeration.

Seeing her laugh, a warm smile also spread across Jun Yuyan’s face.

“Uncle Zhai said your birthmark was caused by a prenatal toxin, and I have investigated that it was Lady Wang’s doing. I ordered someone to bribe the cook at the Marquis Mansion and add something to her food.”

Murong Jiu blinked, thinking she had heard wrong; had the Prince put something in Lady Wang’s food as revenge for her?

“What did you add?” she asked curiously.

Jun Yuyan with a touch of mystery said, “Isn’t Murong Man going to get married in half a month? You will see then.”

Murong Jiu felt both moved and anticipatory.

She hadn’t expected that the Prince had done so much for her without her knowledge.

She was glad that today she hadn’t kept her words buried in her heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have known that the Prince was the biological father of her children.
