Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: 1099: Not a Prince, but a Crown Prince

Su Yingxue reached out to touch his chin, “Why are you… like this?”

Chu Yihan held her hand, only then feeling that the person in front of him was real, that she truly had woken up.

He had not cried tears of joy, but instead, his heart had finally settled.

“Your Highness, you’ve finally awakened! The emperor has been by your bedside for three days, and the Old General has hardly slept in three days as well. Everyone at the Marquis’s Manor has been so worried about you!”

Zhilan, seeing Su Yingxue awaken, knelt excitedly by her bed and wept.

“I see… I’m so thirsty.”

Su Yingxue sighed softly and asked Zhilan to get her some water.

Zhilan brought the water, and Chu Yihan supported her, bringing the water to her lips while embracing her shoulders, but she somewhat resisted.

“Emperor, let Zhilan take care of me.”

Su Yingxue refused to drink.

Chu Yihan thought he had not controlled his strength well and had hurt Su Yingxue, so he quickly let go of her, allowing Zhilan to take over.

He stood by Su Yingxue’s bedside, watching her drink water, his gaze filled with relief, “I will go bring the little monster.”

Chu Yihan left in a hurry, and Su Yingxue didn’t even have time to say anything.

She didn’t want to see the little monster now, nor did she want to see anyone.

“Meh-ah~”

The little baby yawned, emitting a soft, milky sound, almost enough to melt a person’s heart.

It had been three days, and this was the first time Chu Yihan held him.

From Su Yingxue’s dangerous bleeding due to the abnormal position of the baby to the moment she regained consciousness, he had not left Su Yingxue’s side, even feeling aversion toward the child.

Even the gender of the child was told to him by Mo Qi.

Saying that the little monster was a boy.

At that time, Zhuo Junli was holding the child and even remarked, “This child has a full forehead, in the future, he might succeed the great throne, emperor.”

The little monster’s crying and resting, he had had no time to attend to.

Now, looking at him seriously for the first time, his austere eyes were filled with tenderness.

He held the little monster next to Su Yingxue, gently stroking his soft cheeks, “He’s born healthy, like you.”

Su Yingxue looked at the little thing with barely a slit for eyes and heaved a deep sigh, “He’s still small, how can you tell who he resembles, I and the emperor have this kind of appearance, he couldn’t possibly be far off.”

There was no sense of anticipation in these words.

Chu Yihan sensed something was off, “You don’t like him?”

Su Yingxue shook her head, “No, it’s just that I’m too tired, emperor, I’d like to rest, please hand him over to a wet nurse.”

“You’ve already slept for three days.”

“I’m still very tired.”

Su Yingxue spoke faintly and, after a few words, lay back down listlessly.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yihan felt a pang in his heart.

Giving birth indeed had been hard on her.

He held the child, intending to lean down and kiss his forehead, but then he heard her cry of pain, “Emperor, you’re pressing on me.”

“Sorry.”

Chu Yihan quickly got up and moved away from her with the little monster.

Seeing that she had closed her eyes again, he left with the little monster.

Zhuo Junli was accustomed to bringing the memorials from all ministers every day, and seeing Chu Yihan holding the child personally, his brows lifted in a smile, “Oh, the emperor has finally agreed to hold the little prince. It seems the empress has awakened.”

Chu Yihan’s brow, which had been furrowed for three days, relaxed, his countenance still godlike.

He corrected Zhuo Junli, “He is the Crown Prince.”

“The Crown Prince?” Zhuo Junli raised his eyebrows slightly, this answer surprising yet not surprising him.

Since the founding of the country, there had been no prince who was named Crown Prince within three days of birth.

But this little Crown Prince, being the son of Su Yingxue, Chu Yihan’s sole empress, it wasn’t unreasonable.

After all, Su Yingxue was the only woman in Chu Yihan’s harem.

Zhuo Junli immediately passed on the emperor’s decree.
