The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 775: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne

Gu Yunjiao was not worried about anyone discovering them eating meat. Their carriage was nestled within the Jin Army soldiers’ supply convoy, far from the Imperial Family’s ox-drawn carriage convoy and the commoners’ queue.

The Jin Army soldiers had also grown accustomed to this carriage’s peculiarity, paying them no heed.

Gu Yunjiao couldn’t help but smile wryly, attributing this partially to the fortune granted by Wanyan Zhang.

The next day, Wanyan Zhang summoned Gu Yunjiao again.

Gu Yunjiao went over, lowered her gaze, and quietly sat there waiting for Wanyan Zhang’s orders. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Wanyan Zhang remained silent for a long time.

After quite a while, he regarded Gu Yunjiao and slowly said, "The child in your belly, if you wish to keep it, then keep it."

Gu Yunjiao was in disbelief, "Really?"

Wanyan Zhang nodded slightly.

Gu Yunjiao showed a relieved smile, sincerely saying to Wanyan Zhang, "Thank you, Second Crown Prince."

Wanyan Zhang’s lips curled up, "Then how do you plan to thank me?"

Gu Yunjiao cheerfully replied, "How about I teach the Second Crown Prince another new game?"

Wanyan Zhang, in a good mood, looked at Gu Yunjiao, "Never mind, just ate, feeling quite drowsy, let’s rest for a while before talking."

As Gu Yunjiao was about to get up to wash the carriage, Wanyan Zhang waved his hand, "You might as well rest here too. Once awake, we’ll continue with ’Journey to the West’."

This carriage was exceptionally spacious, Gu Yunjiao shifted to one side and sat leaning against the carriage wall.

The carriage jolted ever so slightly. Unknowingly, she closed her eyes, gradually sliding down along the carriage wall, with her head resting on the couch.

Wanyan Zhang glanced at Lin Shishi, "Bring a pillow for her to rest her head on."

Lin Shishi brought a pillow over, carefully adjusting it under Gu Yunjiao’s head.

The carriage couch was layered with thick soft cushions, overlaid with a cooling mat, adding to the gentle sway. It was incredibly comfortable to sleep on.

When Wanyan Zhang awoke, Lin Shishi noticed Gu Yunjiao was still asleep and cast a glance at Wanyan Zhang.

She quickly realized Wanyan Zhang had no intention of waking Gu Yunjiao, as he pulled out a book to read it himself.

Lin Shishi looked at Gu Yunjiao, then sneaked a peek at Wanyan Zhang. She had an inkling...

By evening, when the convoy came to a halt and the rhythmic swaying ceased, Gu Yunjiao suddenly awoke.

Wanyan Zhang had already exited the carriage. Seeing that no one paid her any attention, Gu Yunjiao hurriedly slipped out of the carriage, heading back to her own tent.

Several days passed in a blur, during which Gu Yunjiao spent most of her daytime in Wanyan Zhang’s carriage.

Sometimes playing cards, sometimes telling stories.

Sometimes listening to Lin Shishi play the qin, or watching Lin Shishi and Wanyan Zhang play chess.

One day, just after lunch, as Gu Yunjiao felt a wave of drowsiness, Wulinda Hai boarded the carriage, "Second Crown Prince, I have news regarding Great Chu to report." He said while giving Gu Yunjiao a glance.

Gu Yunjiao, aware of the situation, got up, intending to leave the carriage.

Wanyan Zhang waved his hand, "You don’t have to leave."

What difference would it make even if she learned news of her homeland, for she could never return to Great Chu in this lifetime.

Gu Yunjiao was naturally interested in the news from Great Chu. She moved to the window, pretending to look outside, but her ears were perked up.

Wulinda Hai said, "We just received word, Prince Kang has ascended the throne in Xiang City and declared himself emperor."

Gu Yunjiao’s hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

The late emperor’s mature princes only included the current emperor, Prince Ping, and Prince Kang.

Since Prince Kang did not please the late emperor, he was dispatched early to his fief in Xiang City, while Prince Ping remained in the Capital City.

The late emperor’s remaining underage princes, along with the current emperor’s princes, were all captured by the people of Jin Country this time. Prince Kang was the only one not in the Capital City.

One could say he was the only one eligible for the throne.
