ASTRP -Chapter 243 She Gave Birth

Xiao Jinghan and Feng Jingge clearly saw Shen Fufeng’s reaction when he heard the word child—a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao Jinghan spoke.

“If you kill Yu’er, this prince will kill your son.”

“You dare!”

Xiao Jinghan let out a cold laugh.

“You even dared to assassinate the emperor of Jing Country. What makes you think I wouldn’t dare kill a little prince of your Wuxing Country?”

“If I kill him, what can you do to me?”

“By then, you’ll already be a dead man. Even if I destroy your entire Wuxing Country, can you crawl out of your grave to seek revenge on me?”

“…”

Feng Jingge’s lips curved slightly. Her prince was indeed clever.

With just a few sentences, he not only left Shen Fufeng speechless but also made him hesitate to act.

Shen Fufeng truly wavered.

He knew very well what kind of person Xiao Jinghan was.

Ruthless—only gentle toward Feng Jingge.

He said nothing further, and Xiao Jinghan also remained silent, giving him enough time to weigh the consequences.

“No… I still can’t let him go.”

“He is that dog emperor’s child. I must kill him!”

Just as Shen Fufeng was about to strike, someone suddenly rushed in.

“Fufeng-gege, no!”

Feng Mingyue ran in, holding a child.

“If anything happens to you, what will happen to our child?”

She placed the child down. The little one, barely over a year old, staggered forward unsteadily toward Shen Fufeng.

“Daddy… daddy hug…”

The child reached out his arms toward him.

No matter how cold-hearted a person was, seeing such a cute child would soften their heart.

Especially when it was his own son.

In the end, Shen Fufeng slowly lowered his hand. At that moment, Xiao Jinghan stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yu away.

Shen Fufeng instinctively tried to attack, but the little boy suddenly hugged his leg and looked up.

“Daddy… hug…”

Feng Mingyue walked over.

“Fufeng-gege, for our child’s sake, can you let go of the past?”

“You’re not alone anymore. You have me and the child.”

“From now on, let’s live happily as a family of three, okay?”

She looked at him pleadingly, her eyes exactly like the child’s.

In the end, his heart softened. He bent down and picked the child up.

The little boy immediately kissed his cheek.

“I like Daddy… Bao’er likes Daddy~”

Looking at the adorable child, Shen Fufeng’s eyes reddened, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

He had once almost killed Feng Mingyue and this child.

Fortunately, he did not.

Xiao Jinghan spoke at the right moment.

“Take the child back to Wuxing Country.”

“You will be the emperor there from now on. If anything happens, you may come to Jing Country.”

With that, Xiao Jinghan, Feng Jingge, and Xiao Yu left.

“Fufeng-gege, what the prince means is that if we encounter difficulties in the future, he will help us.”

Of course, Shen Fufeng understood Xiao Jinghan’s meaning.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Jinghan to be so broad-minded—he had truly judged him by his own narrow standards.

He finally looked directly at Feng Mingyue.

“I’m sorry… during this time, I made you suffer…”

“As long as I can be with Fufeng-gege, nothing is suffering.”

Feng Mingyue truly loved him, and Shen Fufeng could feel it.

He had never paid attention to her before, never truly looked at her.

But now, looking at her, he suddenly felt that she wasn’t bad at all.

Most importantly, they already had a child.

And she genuinely loved him.

He took her hand.

“Let’s go.”

“We’re returning to Wuxing Country.”

Xiao Jinghan safely brought Xiao Yu back to the palace.

When the Empress Dowager saw Xiao Yu, she immediately pulled him into her arms.

“Yu’er, you’re finally back.”

“Are you hurt? Did that man harm you?”

Feeling such concern, Xiao Yu felt warmth in his heart.

“Mother, rest assured. Your son is not injured.”

Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, Xiao Yu felt heartache.

“Mother… I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“As long as Yu’er is safe, nothing else matters…”

Xiao Jinghan and Feng Jingge quietly returned to their residence.

“Prince… I almost revealed Xiao Yu’s identity earlier.”

Back home, Feng Jingge said with lingering fear.

“I was afraid Shen Fufeng would really harm Yu’er, I nearly said it.”

“If you had, he wouldn’t have believed it—and it would have brought Yu’er even greater danger.”

Feng Jingge nodded.

“I know…”

“It’s just that in the heat of the moment, I almost blurted it out.”

“Fortunately, Feng Mingyue appeared at the crucial time.”

She then collapsed onto the bed.

After the exhausting journey back from the Western Clear Country and worrying about Xiao Yu, she could finally sleep peacefully.

Xiao Jinghan sat beside her.

“Do you still remember what you said in the Western Clear Country?”

Feng Jingge was initially confused, but seeing his burning gaze, she immediately understood.

She smiled and teased him.

“My prince, I said so much in Western Clear Country. Which sentence are you referring to?”

Xiao Jinghan pinched her cheek.

“Naughty.”

“Now that even Xiao Yu is married, I don’t want our child to be born later than theirs.”

Feng Jingge wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Then tonight, my prince will have to work hard.”

“Let our child arrive earlier than theirs.”

She leaned in and kissed him.

Between them, there was no longer any shyness when alone.

The curtains slowly fell, and moonlight spilled in, faintly illuminating two entwined figures on the bed…

The night grew deeper, colder outside, but the room grew hotter.

One year later.

A new life was born in the palace.

The child of Western Clear Princess Liyue and the Prince was already two months old—a girl.

She lived in Weiyang Palace.

It was originally not her choice, but the inner court insisted.

Since the prince had no concubines, they needed more heirs from the existing wife.

Their first child was a daughter, the legitimate eldest daughter. “Weiyang” symbolized continuity and endless prosperity, so the palace was named Weiyang Palace.

On Xiao Jinghan’s side, Feng Jingge was also pregnant—five months along.

She was still slim, so her pregnancy was not yet very visible.

She originally wanted to visit Liyue’s child today, but Xiao Jinghan insisted on going with her when he was free.

He didn’t feel safe letting her go alone, even with guards accompanying her.

Meanwhile, Liyue held her one-month-old daughter tightly, unable to put her down.

Even though her shoulder ached, she refused to let go.

A nanny stood nearby holding a feeding bottle.

“Princess… you should rest a bit.”
