Chapter 97: Cruel Prince 46

Seeing Tang Wan’s shocked expression, Little Cutie immediately said smugly:

“You’ve never used protection before.”

“Isn’t getting pregnant completely normal?”

Hearing this, Tang Wan replied blankly:

“Then why didn’t I get pregnant in the last world?”

This was completely unscientific!

Little Cutie looked innocent.

“Didn’t I already tell you before?”

“Tang Yitong underwent a ligation procedure so he could enjoy a two-person world with you forever.”

Tang Wan froze.

Men could undergo ligation too?

As if sensing her confusion, Little Cutie immediately pulled up the relevant information for her.

After reading it, Tang Wan’s expression became somewhat complicated.

Although the emotional attachments from the previous world had already been stripped away by the system,

after seeing this information,

she still clearly understood one thing—

Tang Yitong must have truly loved her deeply.

Otherwise,

why would someone willingly undergo that kind of procedure?

...

The next moment, Tang Wan subconsciously lowered her hand and touched her stomach gently.

The feeling was incredibly strange.

Unexpectedly—

she actually became pregnant inside a mission world.

...

“Princess Consort, the military physician has arrived.”

At that moment, the maid’s voice sounded outside.

“Let him in.”

Soon, a middle-aged physician carrying a medicine box entered the tent.

Knowing Tang Wan was the Crown Princess, he kept his head lowered and did not dare look directly at her face.

He quickly placed a cotton pad onto the table and respectfully gestured for Tang Wan to place her hand on it.

Afterward, he covered her wrist with a handkerchief before carefully checking her pulse.

Before long, the military physician suddenly looked up at Tang Wan with a smile.

“Congratulations, Princess Consort.”

“It’s a happy pulse.”

“You’re already more than two months pregnant.”

Tang Wan couldn’t help curling her lips slightly.

“Thank you, Physician.”

“Is there anything I should pay attention to?”

“The Princess Consort’s body is in excellent condition,” the physician replied immediately.

“There are no issues with this pregnancy.”

“You only need to nourish the fetus properly as normal.”

“However, pregnant women should avoid many things. This humble one will write down the necessary precautions for you.”

Tang Wan nodded.

...

After the physician left, the maid beside her looked extremely delighted.

“Princess Consort, you barely ate anything this morning.”

“Would you like something now?”

“This servant will prepare it immediately.”

Tang Wan waved her hand.

“I’m not hungry.”

“We’ll wait until His Highness returns.”

How could she possibly have an appetite right now?

She still hadn’t figured out how to persuade Feng Qitong to spare those two hundred thousand surrendered soldiers.

Ah...

What was she supposed to do?

At that moment, the maid immediately persuaded her anxiously:

“Princess Consort, even for the little prince in your stomach, you should eat something.”

“Otherwise, His Highness will definitely worry after returning.”

The moment those words entered her ears—

Tang Wan suddenly had an idea.

That’s right!

Exactly!

Wasn’t this the perfect excuse already prepared for her?

Instantly, Tang Wan couldn’t help smiling.

“You’re right.”

“Go prepare something sour and spicy.”

“Yes, Princess Consort!”

The maid hurried away happily to prepare food.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan gently touched her still-flat stomach before speaking to Little Cutie:

“Little Cutie...”

“This child really came at the perfect time.”

Little Cutie blinked in confusion.

He completely failed to understand how Tang Wan had gone from feeling miserable one second ago—

to suddenly becoming happy the next.

But then again,

he had heard pregnant women experienced drastic emotional fluctuations.

So perhaps this was normal?

...

Meanwhile—

the battle did not end until sunset.

The crimson glow of the setting sun spread across the battlefield littered with corpses.

Feng Qitong stood there with bloodshot eyes,

cold killing intent surrounding his entire body.

In front of him knelt the surrendered Zhao generals.

The Zhao people were naturally fierce warriors.

Their temperament was difficult to tame.

If he incorporated them into Tang State’s army, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t rebel later.

If he turned them into laborers, huge resources would still be required to monitor and resettle them.

But releasing them?

That would simply be allowing a tiger to return to the mountains.

Sooner or later, Zhao State would recover and become another threat to Tang State again.

So for Feng Qitong—

the simplest and most permanent solution was obvious.

Kill all two hundred thousand surrendered soldiers immediately.

Leave Zhao State with absolutely no chance of recovery.
