Li Xueyue was numb. Her vision was suddenly blurry, as ringing began in her ears. A part of her knew. She knew what had happened. It wasn't the start of her cycle. It was much more than that.
An unprecedented wave of melancholy washed over her, threatening to drown her in the pool of her loss.
Something wet trickled down her cheeks, like water droplets falling from her wet hair. Her proud shoulders dropped as she hugged her lower stomach, mourning for a loss Li Xueyue didn't know she had.
Li Xueyue could not focus on her surroundings. Her heart hurt more than her lower regions. She could hear the initial confusion from the maidservants, believing her cycle had started.
But then it clicked inside of their heads. The Crown Prince's passionate love for his wife…every morning and night.
The possibilities were higher than ever.
