Chapter 870 - 868: The Transmigrated Woman Bound to the Good Pregnancy System 12

Ah Chen had just rested when someone entered the room.

This person’s movement technique was impressive, arriving at the bedside in an instant and pressing her sleep acupoint.

"Qin Chen, we finally meet." Mo Ying sat by the bed, looking at the woman who had fallen into a deep sleep, his eyes filled with emotion as he caught the familiar scent drifting towards him, "Indeed, it’s a familiar smell."

Then his expression paused; merely this fragrance could elicit a reaction from his injured parts. It was worth the long journey to be by her side.

"Since we have met, I won’t let this chance slip by."

"But now is not the time."

It wasn’t fear of Pei Hui, after all, he had a mysterious force, hiding someone was easy.

He wanted Qin Chen to willingly go with him, otherwise, with her temperament, she might cause trouble.

As long as she was willing, he could imagine how joyful the days ahead would be, unable to suppress a slight smile.

At that moment, he heard noise outside. Frowning, he realized he couldn’t leave and quickly found a place to hide. His Concealing Breath Technique was formidable, even Xiao Qing couldn’t detect him, so he didn’t fear being discovered.

As Mo Ying hid, the room door was gently pushed open, the newcomer’s steps were also light, as if not wanting to awaken the sleeping person inside.

Similar to Mo Ying, the newcomer also pressed Ah Chen’s sleep acupoint.

Ah Chen: ...

The newcomer was indeed Pei Hui, who merely sat by the bed and gazed at Ah Chen for a while.

"Qin Chen, don’t disappoint me. If you give birth to an heir for me, and when my grand enterprise succeeds, I won’t treat you poorly. With your status, even if you can’t become Empress, it won’t be far off," Pei Hui chuckled, "though you may not be Empress, eventually you may still be Empress Dowager."

In his past life, he truly didn’t have a single son. If Qin Chen could give birth to an heir, wouldn’t she be the future Empress Dowager?

Mo Ying, hiding in the shadows, was shocked. Having himself been reincarnated, he naturally understood what was going on, even though Pei Hui hadn’t mentioned rebirth in his words.

No wonder Qin Chen had contact with Pei Hui; it turns out Pei Hui, like him, had also been reborn.

Later, due to unforeseen events, he lived as a beggar in the Capital City, barely surviving due to Qin Chen’s food donations, surviving for quite a long time. Naturally, he knew Pei Hui later ascended the throne, and knew his daughters were many, but he didn’t have half a son. Pei Hui was not someone indulged in debauchery, yet to have a son, he would choose concubines every year, resulting in no sons but daughter after daughter.

In contrast, Qin Chen and Ji Qing had children every three years, often sons.

Is there anything unclear now? Pei Hui went through immense hardships to bring Qin Chen back to the Capital City, probably because of her prolific nature in her past life.

In this context, the life-saving grace Qin Chen had for Pei Hui might have hidden implications.

By putting himself in her shoes, he seemed to have understood the truth behind the matter.

Thinking again of Qin Chen’s influence on himself, it seemed she truly had a special constitution. In such a case, expecting Pei Hui to easily let go was unlikely. Before taking Qin Chen away, he must not reveal any flaws, otherwise, raising Pei Hui’s guard would make taking Qin Chen difficult.

Mo Ying held his breath, his heart rate quickened, yet determination filled his eyes. Qin Chen was his antidote; he would not give her up.

By the following afternoon, Pei Hui visited Ah Chen.

"Miss Qin, you’ve never been to the Capital City before, have you? Let me show you around," Pei Hui said with a smile, "Previously, I couldn’t reveal my identity; I hope you don’t mind."

Ah Chen naturally didn’t mind, only regretting that Pei Hui had been busy lately and hadn’t visited his backyard concubines.

But she wasn’t in a hurry; it was only a matter of time.

Mo Ying, always attentive to Ah Chen’s movements, appeared promptly upon learning she was going out.

Pei Hui knew of Mo Ying, but observing how the latter seemed unwilling to leave Ah Chen’s side, a trace of displeasure flitted across his eyes.

"Miss Qin, who is this?"

Ah Chen replied, "Mo Ying, he is my guardian for now."

"Miss Qin saved my life, and I have nothing to repay her with. I am willing to be her guardian, ensuring her safety." Mo Ying spoke earnestly, his expression hinting at obstinacy, suggesting he wouldn’t leave Ah Chen’s side.

Pei Hui wasn’t pleased, but it wasn’t proper to argue with a guardian.

Seeing Mo Ying maintain a respectful distance, he too didn’t bother with him.

Ah Chen followed Pei Hui to explore the Capital City. Throughout the journey, Pei Hui was very considerate, putting her needs first. When visiting the Treasure Pavilion, anything she lingered on, he would purchase without hesitation, anyone could see his regard.

After they had explored and eaten, Pei Hui escorted Ah Chen back to the residence.

However, his actions had been noticed by many, all speculating why the Seventh Prince showed such interest in a mysterious woman. Naturally, soon they learned the woman had saved the Seventh Prince’s life.

His attitude was not just for a life-saving benefactor.

Curiosity remained as curiosity, yet no one caused trouble, even many didn’t take Ah Chen seriously. After all, someone residing in an abode arranged by the Seventh Prince obviously wasn’t of noble lineage. Even if she entered the Prince Mansion in the future, she would be just a prince’s concubine.

In the following days, whenever he had time, Pei Hui would take Ah Chen around the Capital City. Even when busy, he would have someone send her unique gifts to amuse her.

Originally, the commissioner was aware of their own inability to defy the Prince, thus accepted everything passively. Feeling that as long as she lived her own life peacefully, there would be no issue, influenced somewhat by Pei Hui’s recent actions.

If there were no interruptions, she would likely agree when Pei Hui proposed bringing her back to the mansion.

She wasn’t foolish, nor did she believe her status and appearance warranted the Seventh Prince marrying her as his wife.

In coming to this world, being a lone woman without any skills, often she had no choice. Moreover, she was bound to a Good Pregnancy System. Rather than struggling to raise a brood with an ordinary man, being with a Prince wasn’t bad; at least she wouldn’t worry about survival.

But an interruption arose, akin to dancing on a minefield of hers.

The once subdued sense of resistance ignited anew, and the self-respect she had stifled was unwilling to be lost again this time.

Seeing an anonymous letter on her pillow, she realized the interruption had come.

She opened the letter, which contained little content, just one sentence, each word revealing what the commissioner didn’t wish to see. If unseen it would be fine, but having seen it, she couldn’t feign ignorance anymore.

"Pei Hui values your ability to bear children."

That was the content of the letter.

Upon seeing this letter, the commissioner’s whole body turned cold. She didn’t know the other party’s purpose, but she indeed was bound to the Good Pregnancy System.

In the subsequent days, despite her outer calm, her heart was unsettled.

On one side was the inescapable authority of the royal family, on the other, her own life’s ideals.

Eventually realizing no matter what she thought, in this world she couldn’t resist, yet she refused to be manipulated.

In a crucial moment, she thought of Mo Ying.
