Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Wasn’t it Supposed to be a Fake Fight?

Zhan Xincheng was basking in the sun in the courtyard when he saw Lady Wang approaching. He stood up to pay respects and said, “Mother.”

Lady Wang inquired, “Xincheng, have you taken your medicine today?”

With a pale, sallow complexion, Zhan Xincheng looked towards Lady Wang and said, “Mother, I’ve taken too much medicine, and yet there’s still no sign of movement in the concubine’s belly. Let’s just stop!”

Lady Wang consoled him, “My dear son, don’t be anxious. In Nanjin, there are plenty of cases where old men have children. You’re simply too preoccupied. If you lighten your heart and be more joyful, perhaps things will turn out well.”

Zhan Xincheng laughed at himself with self-mockery, “Your son now feels like he’s utterly useless, good for nothing.”

Lady Wang reassured with a smile, “Never speak like that. Look at Zhan Lan; isn’t she good to you, her second uncle? She found physicians to heal your illness, and although you can’t practice martial arts now, you have enough for a normal life. You could approach Zhan Lan and see if she could secure you a government position in the court.”

Zhan Xincheng sneered, “Mother, I know that Zhan Lan is my dear niece now and her status is not the same as before, but I can’t bring myself to speak of these matters.”

He resented that Zhan Xinzhang was so upright that he was unwilling to ask favors or find something for him to do.

Now he would have to beg a junior.

Lady Wang patted Zhan Xincheng’s arm and said, “You may not know this, but Zhan Lan has renounced her military authority. His Majesty has now granted her the title of Prince Zhenbei!”
