Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

The originally tense atmosphere inside Liangyi Hall was suddenly interrupted by the tender crying of a child, causing everyone’s taut nerves to ease unexpectedly. Yu Wenquan immediately turned to look at the child struggling and reaching out desperately in Nanny Feng’s arms and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

Nanny Feng’s face turned pale even before the child started crying. Upon hearing the Emperor’s inquiry, she became so nervous that her entire body trembled.

She stammered, "I, this servant—"

Immediately, Tushere spoke up, "Please forgive us, Your Majesty, it was our negligence in taking care of the Young Master."

Following her lead, Nanny Feng finally calmed down a bit and hastily said, "Please forgive us, Your Majesty, this servant is at fault."

Observing the cautious demeanor of the two servants, Yu Wenquan, though in a foul mood, couldn’t be bothered to fuss over it. Just then, Shang Ruyi stood up, turned around, and gently took the swaddle from Nanny Feng’s hands, soothing the child tenderly with a soft voice and gently patting him. In no time, Little Yuanzi’s cries gradually subsided.

Yu Wenquan said, "Take good care of him."

"Yes."

Finally, the two servants straightened up with lingering fear, Nanny Feng wiping her sweaty forehead with her sleeve in fright.

Yu Wenquan continued, "Now, where were we?"

Yu Mingyue cautiously glanced at Shang Ruyi but said nothing. Instead, Yan Shaoxuan answered, "In response to Your Majesty, we were discussing how Jiang Xian might have concealed his true identity, even from his own father."

"Oh, yes, yes."

Yu Wenquan nodded repeatedly, yet his gaze returned to Little Yuanzi, who, under his mother’s tender care, stopped crying and even started smiling. His tiny, fair hands reached out from the swaddle, grabbing a piece of Shang Ruyi’s clothing at her chest, pulling it downward as he laughed, and Princess Qin showed no sign of anger, only a gentle smile at the swaddled child.

Yu Wenquan seemed to feel something: "Parents who love their children make plans for them long into the future."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi also looked up, speaking softly: "As your child, I also guessed this from Jiang Yu’s actions. After all, there isn’t a parent in the world who doesn’t love their child."

Yu Wenquan seemed touched in his heart and nodded, "You speak with reason."

Everyone in the hall exchanged glances, eyebrows furrowing in silent frustration, even the Crown Prince and King Qin went quiet.

The only one at ease in the hall was Princess Qin, but since she was speaking with the Emperor, she naturally couldn’t continue soothing the child. Moreover, Little Yuanzi wasn’t crying anymore, so she turned and handed the swaddle back to the waiting Nanny Feng. The latter hurriedly accepted him, though her face was still pale from the earlier scare, and her hands naturally felt weak while receiving the child. Shang Ruyi gave her a glance, and Nanny Feng immediately took a deep breath, holding Yuanzi and standing straight.

Shang Ruyi turned around and humbly said, "However, this is merely conjecture based on the Crown Princess Consort’s words."

Yu Mingyue’s face darkened.

Indeed, she had said those words, but the crucial point was expressed by Shang Ruyi. After speaking, she clarified that it was merely "conjecture" based on what she heard, meaning if anything went wrong, it would still be her, the Crown Princess Consort, bearing the blame.

But, even knowing her intentions, Yu Mingyue couldn’t argue back now.

After all, what she wanted—

Yu Wenquan’s gaze flickered upon hearing the words "merely conjecture," glancing once again at the clearly nervous Minister of the Ministry of Justice before speaking, "It isn’t just ’mere conjecture’; the Crown Princess Consort’s words have reason, and Minister Yan’s investigation also produced results."

"..."

"If even the father didn’t know, then, Doctor Su—"

Suddenly, another bout of crying interrupted his words.

Yu Wenquan’s brow furrowed, and he turned to see Little Yuanzi crying again in Nanny Feng’s arms, more intensely than before and struggling restlessly, nearly making her drop him.

Yu Wenquan’s face darkened: "What’s going on?"

Terrified, Nanny Feng trembled and stammered, "I-I don’t know why the Young Master started crying again."

Yu Wenquan immediately said, "Bring the child to me."

Eunuch Yu dared not delay and quickly stepped forward to pass the swaddle to the Emperor. Yu Wenquan personally took Little Yuanzi in his arms. Though without experience in childcare despite years of military campaigns, the notion of a grandfather’s love surged within him upon seeing the plump little baby. He instinctively softened his breath, his tone, and his touch, gently tapping the child through the swaddle and saying, "Why are you crying? Good child, don’t cry."

Strangely, Little Yuanzi stopped crying after murmuring a bit, although his still tear-streaked round face bore a hint of grievance, mumbling towards his grandpa holding him.

Yu Wenquan smiled, but when he looked up again, his eyes cooled down.

Before he could speak, Shang Ruyi turned around, glancing at Nanny Feng, and curiously questioned, "Strange, he was fine in our arms, why does he cry when you hold him?"

Nanny Feng quivered in fright, "I-I don’t know either."

Even though Little Yuanzi was calm now, being related to the Imperial Grandson, with the Emperor himself so anxious, everyone naturally treated the matter with extreme care. Amidst the chaos, someone murmured—could it be an illness?

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenquan immediately ordered, "Summon the Imperial Physician!"

With the decree given, soon, the on-duty Du Ruoming hurriedly entered Liangyi Hall with his medical kit in hand.

Seeing the crowed, his heart skipped a beat, and he was left speechless, even more so being unexpectedly summoned by the Emperor. However, the Crown Prince stepped forward, frowning, "Doctor Du, go see why Yuanyuan is crying?"

Du Ruoming froze.

It was only when Shang Ruyi spoke up: "Doctor Du, I brought Yuanzi over to Liangyi Hall today. He was fine when the Emperor and I held him, but he starts crying when the Nanny holds him. What could be the issue? Please examine him carefully, make sure it’s not an illness."

"Yes, I will examine him immediately."

Not daring to delay, Du Ruoming hurried forward and carefully examined Little Yuanzi under the Emperor’s watchful eye. Soon, he was sweating heavily, but after thoroughly checking the child over, his expression slightly relaxed. He reported, "Your Majesty, King Qin, Princess Qin, the Young Master shows no symptoms of illness."
