521: Chapter 163: Inspector Farland (Middle)_1 521: Chapter 163: Inspector Farland (Middle)_1 Qin Shang sneaked a glance at Nina and said, “But you still can’t bear to part with me.”
Nina answered somewhat irritably, “Yes, I can’t bear to part with you, who made me…
Don’t interrupt me, or I’ll kick you out.”
“Alright, alright, I surrender.”
Nina said, “It took him three whole months to fully recover from his injuries, and we stayed in that civilian house for three months as well.
From the initial awkwardness to restoring everything back to how it was before, even to the subsequent bone-deep love.
Finally, on a stormy night, after drinking some rice wine given to us by the villagers, we tasted the forbidden fruit.”
Sura, who was standing on the side, asked with some curiosity, “Director Nina, what fruit is the forbidden fruit?”
Nina turned bright red, “You young man, go ask Yin Zhu afterwards.”
Yin Zhu scratched her head and said, “Yes!
Grandma, what fruit is the forbidden fruit?
I’ve never tasted it either.”
Nina was somewhat speechless and turned to look at Qin Shang, who was trying hard to hold back his laughter, and said angrily, “You explain it to them.”
Qin Shang chuckled, “The so-called forbidden fruit refers to the last intimate relationship between a man and a woman.”
Ye Yinzhu and Sura finally understood, and as they looked at each other, Ye Yinzhu looked a little embarrassed while Sura’s face was already bright red.
Being older, Nina felt a little shy but didn’t show it as visibly as the younger ones, “But do you guys know what happened afterwards?
When I woke up early the next morning, instead of being immersed in sweetness, I found out that this old bastard Qin Shang had left again.
He left me another letter.
This time, he didn’t even give a reason, just told me to take care of myself.”
“What?” This time, even Ye Yinzhu thought that her Grandpa Qin was a bit too much.
Qin Shang sighed lightly and said, “Do you think I wanted to leave?
In fact, I was deeply in love with you at that time and had been restraining myself from having too intimate a relationship with you.
But, on that drunken night, the emotions that had built up in my heart burst out like a flood, and I still ended up being intimate with you.
Just when I was thinking of giving up everything, even if it meant facing the looks and blame of the people from the Eight Sects, even if it meant giving up my position as the Sect Master of the Zither Sect to be with you, you said something in a daze that I just couldn’t accept.”
Nina was stunned, “What did I say?”
Qin Shang said, “In your dream, you said that you wanted to take me back to Faran to meet your teacher in Faran so that he could be the witness to our marriage.”
“What?” Nina looked at Qin Shang in shock.
She finally understood why Qin Shang chose to leave after being so intimate with her.
Even if he could accept that she was the princess of the Milan Empire, he could never accept that she came from Faran.
The real target of the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans was Faran, and no matter what, Qin Shang’s blood was that of the Eastern Dragon.
“So that’s it, so it was because of those words I said that you left.
I thought you were truly heartless back then, and that time, you pletely broke my heart.
I didn’t know any of what you’ve just said.
After my heart had turned into ashes, I returned to Milan.
I still had a full year before I was to return to Faran according to the agreement with my teacher.
Qin Shang, do you know the secret I want to tell you?
Not long after I returned to Milan, I found out, I was pregnant.”
At the last sentence, Qin Shang sprung up from his seat, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Nina, his entire body trembling, “What…
what did you say?”
Nina looked at Qin Shang with a half-smile, “You are my only man, what do you think I am saying?
Initially, I had no intention of revealing this matter to you because I had not expected us to end up together.
But now, there is no sense in keeping this secret any longer.
Yin Zhu, Sura, you must remember, under no circumstances should this matter be revealed.
It is related to the reputation of the Milan Royal Family and is an even bigger secret of the family.”
Qin Shang suddenly slumped back into his seat like a deflated balloon and said bitterly, “I am the cause of your misery.
No wonder you never married, this thing happened to you.
I can imagine how your father reacted when he discovered his favorite daughter was pregnant out of wedlock.
You must have suffered endless humiliation and hardship, Nina, I am sorry to you and our child.
I let his tiny life end before he even entered this world.”
Qin Shang looked at Nina, pain and regret flashing in his eyes.
Tears were streaking down his face and his usually steady hands from playing the zither were shaking uncontrollably.
“Qin Shang, don’t be like this.
Who said our child died before ing into this world?
Moreover, I have not suffered any humiliation or torment.” Nina looked at Qin Shang’s grieving expression with a mix of happiness and heartache.
She was happy that he truly cared for her, but seeing him so distressed, how could she not feel the pain?
From her embrace, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from his face.
“You…What are you saying?
Did you give birth to our child?
No, that’s impossible.
How would your father allow such a child to exist?
This could simply be a grand humiliation to the royal family.” Qin Shang stared at Nina dumbfoundedly, although he was saying this, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.
After all, he was already in his seventies, who wouldn’t hope to have a child of their own?
Nina sighed lightly, “Yes, I gave birth to that child before returning to Faran.
I had never told you anything about the imperial family.
My father loved only my mother throughout his life and had three children – my two sisters and I.
During the year I discovered I was pregnant with your child, my father had an examination by the imperial physician and confirmed that he could no longer have children.
It was that year when he announced to the outside world that my mother was pregnant.
You might not have noticed.
Yin Zhu and Sura were too young to know at the time.
However, ten months later when my father announced to the world that the Milan Royal Family finally had a successor, and Silvio was born and declared the crown prince, it was the moment I set foot on the road back to Faran.”
Qin Shang didn’t quite understand what Nina was saying, “You just said that you gave birth to our child and then you returned to Faran?
Did you take him to Faran?”
Nina looked at Qin Shang with an amused expression, “You silly man, can’t you see how confused you are?
You really want me to say the secret of the imperial family out loud?”
To one side, Sura suddenly said in a shocked tone, “Director Nina, could it be…
could it be that Emperor Silvio is not your brother, but your…?”
At this, Qin Shang and Ye Yinzhu were almost simultaneously taken aback.
Sura’s bold guess in relation to what Nina had just said made their jaws drop.
They could hardly believe it was true.
If it was as Sura had said, this would indeed be the biggest scandal and secret of the Milan Royal Family.
Nina sighed, “Fortunately Silvio takes after my mother, inheriting my hair color and eye color.
If he had been like you, he wouldn’t have been able to survive.
When I returned to the palace after discovering my pregnancy, it was not long before my father found out.
He wasn’t angry; he asked me who the father of my child was.
I didn’t say, because I didn’t even want to mention your name.
My father later gave me two choices.
One was to abort the child immediately.
Obviously, I disagreed.
Although I hated you, the child was innocent.
He was a product of my first, maybe also my only, time being loved by a man in my life.
The second choice my father gave was unexpected.
He told me outright that he had no son.
Among my two sisters and me, my sisters had no capacity, and after entering Faran with my master, it was impossible for me to inherit his throne.
So, my father said that as soon as I gave birth to this child, I must leave the palace immediately and return to Faran, and this child wouldn’t be my son, but my brother and the future heir of Milan.
After all, he carries my blood.”
Ye Yinzhu exclaimed, “No wonder when I called Emperor Silvio uncle and you grandma, you never refuted me.
So, I was right all along.
Does that mean that Xiang Luan is your and Grandpa Qin’s biological granddaughter and Feschera is your grandson?”
Nina nodded with a bitter smile, “Qin Shang, we have a child, he is the Emperor of Milan, he carries the bloodline of the Milan Royal Family, and also the bloodline belonging to the Eastern Dragon Clans.
In a way, the current Milan Empire is ruled by half Dong Long people.”
Qin Shang spoke in a trance, “Silvio, does…
does he know?”
Nina nodded, “The day my father passed on the throne to him, the same day I returned to Milan, my father told Silvio everything and instructed him that no matter what, he must listen to me.
I am the eternal pillar of Milan.
After Silvio ascended the throne, with my full assistance, we successfully sidelined my father’s ambitious brothers and nephews, thus helping Silvio to succeed to the throne.
He has not disappointed my father and me.
Over the years, he has been diligent in his work and has kept Milan well-organized.
Although the crisis at present es from the whole continent, I believe Milan can weather this storm.” (To be continued.
