Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 258: : Prince of Yu’s Choice

Translator: 549690339

“Is there any need to ask? Our family knows better than anyone where the Prince of Yu went.” Jiang Ruobai glanced at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning didn’t speak.

Lin Zizi suddenly realized, “Did the Prince of Yu change his plan, come here to put out fires and save people, and miss his chance to go to the palace to save the emperor?”

“Yeah, exactly.” Jiang Ruobai sighed twice, “Originally, the Prince of Yu had the best chance of winning, but the Prince of Huai stole the credit for saving the emperor. The Prince of Yu chose to save our family first instead of rescuing the emperor. Who do you think should be favored in the emperor’s heart?”

Lin Zizi also looked at Jiang Ning.

It could be said that it was for the sake of the Jiang family, but it was actually for Jiang Ning and the two children.

Jiang Yi sighed, “Who would have thought that the cold-hearted Prince of Yu, who has always had his heart set on the Imperial Throne, could give up saving the emperor and prioritize rescuing our family when it mattered most?”

Lin Zizi asked, “So, he lost his chance to be appointed as the Crown Prince?”

“I’m afraid so,” Jiang Ruobai answered in a deep voice. “The emperor’s thoughts are difficult for ordinary people to fathom. No matter how highly the emperor values the Prince of Yu, the situation is that when faced with the two princes, Yu and Huai, Prince Huai did not hesitate to save the emperor and was injured in doing so. Yet, Prince Yu chose to give up that rescue mission in favor of helping others. What would the emperor think?”

“But, what about the issue of an heir that the emperor cares about the most? The Prince of Yu already has a son, and the Prince of Huai…”

!!..

“After the successful rescue of the emperor, the Prince of Huai was wounded and fell to the ground. News came from the Prince of Huai’s residence that a son was born to one of his concubines who had experienced premature labor due to fright.”

“What a coincidence?” Lin Zizi questioned.

“Exactly, that’s how coincidental it is,” Jiang Ruobai shook his head. “It’s not difficult to guess the emperor’s thoughts under such circumstances.”

All in the room were silent.

Jiang Ning thought of the time when the Prince of Yu showed up. Although she couldn’t see his face clearly in the dark, she sensed an inexplicable silence.

He didn’t say another word, but left in a hurry.

After saving the people here, he must have rushed to the Imperial Palace.

But it was too late by then.

Before making his decision to come here, he must have thought about the consequences.

Yet, he still came.

For someone like him, who had been striving for the position of Crown Prince for over a decade, what was going through his mind when he made this decision?

Jiang Ning couldn’t imagine it.

Jiang Ruobai broke the silence, “Alright, the day is almost dawning. Everyone has been tired and frightened for the entire day. Please go get some rest.” “At this point, who can sleep?” Lin Zizi said.

“There is no other way out for now. We can only take one step at a time. Fortunately, it is only the appointment of a Crown Prince and not a change of dynasties. Don’t worry, the sky won’t fall down,” Jiang Ruobai reassured.

“I am not worried about that, I just feel sorry for the Prince of Yu,” Lin Zizi said.

“Sometimes it’s just fate,” Jiang Ruobai glanced at his daughter and didn’t say much more. He got up and left with Lin Zizi.

The couple had their own private words to share.

Jiang Yi patted his sister on the shoulder, smiling, “Although the outcome has put us in a bad mood, we can look on the bright side. At least everyone in our family is safe. This should be enough to prove that in the Prince of Yu’s heart, you are more important than the Imperial Throne.”

Jiang Ning remained silent.

Jiang Yi yawned, “After staying awake day and night, I can’t take it anymore. I’ll go to sleep first. We can discuss anything, no matter how big, after I wake up.” Yawning continuously, he left the room.

Jiang Ning sat quietly for a while, then suddenly remembered something.

Wenren Zong was still being watched and detained by Xiaoman at the guardhouse..
