Chapter 222 Trust
"My beauty, why did you tell the Queen about your pregnancy first?"
Sui Wan stood behind Shi Qingzhang, combing his long hair, which had been kept black and delicate in recent years, and couldn't help complaining.
"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. What if the Queen doesn't like you to give birth to an heir?"
Seeing Qing Zhang looking at himself in the mirror silently, Sui Wan got angry and threw away the ivory comb.
The yellowed ivory comb fell on the dressing table with a crisp sound, and a crack appeared on it.
Shi Qingzhang raised his eyes and stared coldly at Sui Wan through the mirror.
Did she do something wrong by transferring her good sister who she had known since childhood to her side? Shi Qingzhang did not want to bluntly say that their identities were different now and that Sui Wan had to recognize her position, which would hurt feelings.
"Didn't you tell the eldest prince about my pregnancy first? I asked the imperial physician not to tell anyone about my pregnancy for the time being, wasn't it because I was worried that the eldest prince would know?
You revealed something I had deliberately kept secret before I was ready. What was your intention? "
Shi Qingzhang picked up the ivory comb in front of the dressing table and threw it at Sui Wan's feet. The ivory comb, which already had a crack, broke into two pieces along the crack.
"Is it the Queen who doesn't like me being pregnant? Isn't it you and the eldest prince?" Shi Qingzhang regretted it as soon as he said this.
"Beauty, how can you make such assumptions about me and the Crown Prince?" Sui Wan ignored the ivory comb at her feet. She looked up and around in panic.
“If His Royal Highness the First Prince heard you say this, the mother-son relationship between you and the First Prince for all these years would probably be ruined.” Sui Wan said angrily in a low voice.
"What about you? Sui Wan." Shi Qingzhang asked, trying hard to hold back his sobs.
"I, Sui Wan, have never betrayed Lady Shi, and I have never betrayed Qing Zhang." Sui Wan vowed.
"When I found out that you were pregnant, Qing Zhang, I was worried that the First Prince would become estranged from you. I was wrong to go find the First Prince on my own initiative, but I only tried to test his reaction indirectly, wanting to know how to tell him without hurting the relationship between you and the First Prince. I didn't even know when the First Prince knew about your pregnancy."
Sui Wan took the eldest prince with her after Shi Qingzhang became the master of Lanlin Palace. It was not surprising that she went to test the eldest prince's reaction to Shi Qingzhang's pregnancy.
There were tears glistening in Shi Qingzhang's eyes, and her pupils flickered, making it impossible to tell whether she believed Sui Wan's words or not.
"Sui Wan, you have the best relationship with the eldest prince. If my child has a conflict with the eldest prince in the future, will you stand on my side?"
Sui Wan frowned when he heard this. Isn’t the eldest prince your child?
It would be great if Qing Zhang gave birth to a daughter.
"Of course I stand behind you."
Shi Qingzhang looked at Sui Wan steadily, trying to discern the truth in her words. When she failed, she turned her gaze to the broken ivory comb on the ground.
"It's late in the year, I'm willing to believe you. Go get a rhino horn comb from the storeroom. This ivory comb is broken, so throw it away. Don't take my words to heart."
"You can't trust anyone except me in our friendship since childhood.
I also know that Qingzhang, you are sincere in your love for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You can just say those careless words in front of me, but I won’t remember what you shouldn’t remember.
The eldest prince will be your support in the future, so please don't say anything that hurts him in front of him."
Having said this, Sui Wan was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait, let's go tomorrow morning. It's too late now. The storeroom is dark and you can't see anything. Now come with me to see the eldest prince."
Shi Qingzhang, wearing his coat, pushed open the back window and looked towards the direction of the eldest prince Qin Mingyu's bedroom in the back hall. The lights were still on, so the eldest prince should not have gone to sleep yet.
