Chapter 392: It turns out that you are waiting for your sweetheart~~~
And His Highness.
Even if the matter is exposed, and he is punished and imprisoned, at least he will have food and clothing, which is better than being a slave forever, right?
She would rather lose her freedom and be locked up in Prince An's Mansion than go out and become a slave and associate with the lowly and humble servants whom she looked down upon!
Thinking of this, Zhou Lingyi hurriedly crawled forward a few steps on his knees and grabbed the corner of Li Shunquan's robe, as if he had grabbed the last straw. He choked out a sob and said, "Li... Chief Steward Li, where is His Royal Highness Prince An? I want to see His Royal Highness... No... I want to see the Emperor. I have something important to tell you!"
Now that the matter has been exposed, His Highness must have been placed under house arrest by the Emperor. She may not be able to see him, so she has to request to see the Emperor in order to escape this disaster.
Li Shunquan lowered his eyes and glanced at this noble lady who had been high and mighty in the past. Thinking of her future fate, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of what had just happened in the palace, that sympathy disappeared in an instant.
He lowered his eyes, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a voice without any sadness or joy: "Miss Zhou, even if the Yongning Earl's Mansion has not been guilty, you can't see the emperor just because you want to. What's more, the emperor is currently ill and cannot see anyone. As for Prince An..."
Li Shunquan paused, then slowly said to Zhou Lingyi, who was looking expectantly at him, "His Royal Highness Prince An attempted assassination before the Emperor and was killed by His Majesty himself. Miss Zhou, if you want to see Prince An, I'm afraid I can't help you."
'boom--'
It seems like something is broken.
Zhou Lingyi's mind was blank, filled with the seven words "killed by the emperor himself" repeating over and over again.
Today, Zhou Lingyi finally understood what it meant to be at the end of the road.
Her face was pale, and she hurriedly raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen and clenched it tightly.
Finished!
It's all over!
The emperor didn't even care about the life of his own son, His Highness, and killed His Highness with his own hands. How could he care about the last bit of flesh and blood in her belly?
This child was not the treasure that would lead her to a glorious life and the throne of queen, but a death warrant that would send her to hell.
The Emperor must be deeply disgusted with Her Highness at this moment. If he knew about the existence of this child, she would probably die even faster.
This child!
Zhou Lingyi pounded his abdomen desperately, tears rolling down the corners of his slightly red eyes, and he seemed to be possessed by a demon.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault, you jinx! You jinx!"
Li Shunquan was startled by her crazy-woman-like behavior. He quickly took two steps back and asked suspiciously, "Is this... crazy...?"
Seeing this, Lin didn't care about her own sadness. She hurried forward and hugged Zhou Lingyi in her arms, holding her hands.
Faced with Li Shunquan's doubts, she did not dare to reveal the fact that she was pregnant.
Although she was sad just now, she heard Li Shunquan's words clearly.
Prince An was plotting treason, and the Emperor must have been furious. He was even willing to kill his own son. This shows how evil Prince An was, and this child must not be allowed to live.
But it can't be lost in front of Li Shun.
Before Lin could come up with a corresponding plan, Zhou Lingyi fainted in Lin's arms.
Lin was horrified, "Yijie'er! Yijie'er! Yijie'er, wake up! Don't scare your mother!"
Looking at the people crying, shouting, and fainting, Li Shunquan's eyes were filled with indifference. He waved his hand and said, "Suppress them all!"
"Yes!"
The Royal Guards followed the order.
However, after a short while, the once prestigious Yongning Earl's Mansion was sealed and became an empty house.
-
into the night.
The moonlight is bright and the breeze is cool.
Shen Qionghua sat by the window, holding a travelogue in one hand. The warm yellow candlelight shone on her pretty face, revealing a sense of beauty of a peaceful and quiet life.
Suddenly, a cloak made of white fox fur fell on her shoulders. Shen Qionghua raised her eyes suddenly, and her eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars. But when she saw who was coming, she seemed to be deflated, and the loss in her eyes could not be concealed.
"Peony, why is it you?"
Shaoyao looked puzzled and said, "Miss, who else could it be if not this servant?"
When Shen Qionghua heard Shaoyao's question, her eyes were panicked for a moment, and she coughed lightly, "No... no one, I thought it was Gancao, she is on duty today."
Shaoyao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said with certainty, "Miss, you must have remembered it wrongly. I am on duty tonight, and it's cold in the depths of winter. Miss, you should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Shen Qionghua gathered her warm and soft cloak around her, smiled, and asked, "Are Niang and Ayi all safe? The ground is slippery in this deep winter, and Niang is drunk, so she might fall."
Shaoyao smiled and said, "They've all been sent back. The young master and the servants have sent Madam back. Now we're back to our own courtyard. I've been in the Shen residence for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen Madam drink, and she drank so much, and she even asked you to join her."
"Mother is happy. The dark clouds hanging over the Shen family have lifted. She no longer has to worry about being killed. She's happy," Shen Qionghua said, a hint of melancholy in her expression. "She's also happy that she finally avenged my father."
Shaoyao comforted her, "Don't worry, my lady. If the master knew about this, he would be very pleased."
"Tick-tick—"
It started to drizzle in the night sky, and Shaoyao hurried to close the window.
Just as her hand was about to touch the pole, Shen Qionghua exclaimed from behind, "Don't close it—"
Shaoyao turned around suddenly and saw Shen Qionghua looking at her nervously. One hand stretched out from the warm cloak. The red nails were newly dyed when she returned home at noon today.
Seeing Shaoyao staring at him in surprise, Shen Qionghua seemed to realize that he had overreacted and quickly withdrew his hand, but he felt uncomfortable no matter how he put it.
He said, "Well, I feel a little hot. It would be better to open the window to dissipate the smell of alcohol on me."
Shaoyao looked at the cloak wrapped tightly around her young lady, then looked at the drizzle outside the window, feeling the biting cold wind blowing in through the window lattice as the winter raindrops fell, and suddenly she had an epiphany.
"Oh~~So that's how it is~~" She raised the end of her eyebrows slightly and raised her tone.
Shen Qionghua felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, and looked away guiltily. Then she heard Shaoyao say, "I was wondering if it was cold in winter, and the young lady had drunk some wine. Why didn't she go to bed and rest early? Instead, she sat here by the window lattice. So... you're waiting for your beloved~~~"
