Chapter 914: Xi Lin Told Xi Jin the Truth 1
Xi Lin gave an indifferent grunt and said, “You go back first. I’ll let you know once I think it over.”
Shen Yunya glanced at her. She supported her back and slightly curtsied. Then she left. In fact, she was reassured by Xi Lin’s hesitancy.
It would be most suspicious if Xi Lin were to readily agree. After all, she somewhat had a handle on what kind of a person the Princess was.
Shen Yunya returned to the East Palace and asked the serving palace maid, “Has the Crown Prince returned?”
“Secondary Consort Yun is unwell, so the Crown Prince went to the West Partial Palace,” the maid replied.
A hint of malice flashed across Shen Yunya’s eyes. Her hand caressed her small belly as she said in a cold voice, “Go and summon the Imperial Physician and remember not to make a noise. But you must also coincidentally let the Crown Prince know.”
Luo Shiyun, the little b*tch, always wanted to seduce the Crown Prince while Shen Yunya was pregnant. If she were really desperate for a man, Shen Yunya would have to find a chance to let a man bed her. Then let the Crown Prince catch her in the act and directly discard her!
Xi Lin watched Shen Yunya supporting her waist, putting on an act while eager to let everyone know she was pregnant. She felt disgusted. Having endured the disgust for so long, she finally could not hold it any longer and bent over to vomit after she left.
Her close palace maid came in and helped her wash up and rinse her mouth out.
Xi Lin sucked on a sour plum that the palace maid had given her. She let the palace maid help her lie down on the bed. She said, “You will go to the Bailan Alliance…”
With that, she stopped and thought for a moment. “Never mind. Leave me be first,” she said.
If she were to ask to meet Tianlan at this moment, it would certainly attract Shen Yunya’s suspicion. Furthermore, it was best not to meet with Tianlan before the plan went through. Otherwise, Shen Yunya would not believe it.
So, she abandoned the idea after some thought. However, she could let her Imperial Brother pass the word along. Both brother and sister would be on the same page and it would be more effective.
She did not have to ask her Imperial Brother over on purpose. He would come on his own.
Sure enough, when Xi Lin woke up, she heard the palace maid talking. She said that Xi Jin had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, so she asked the palace maid to let him in.
Xi Jin looked at Xi Lin, who was leaning against the bed. Her face did not look particularly good, and she had lost some weight. He could not help but frown and said, “Lin’er, you’re seriously unwell. Why aren’t you informing King Father and Queen Mother?”
If he had not been more concerned, perhaps he would have been kept in the dark.
“My brother, I’m pregnant,” Xi Lin said, getting straight to the point. She had thought about what to say to her Imperial Brother before going to bed, so it was not difficult for her to speak now.
Hearing this sentence, Xi Jin was completely dumbstruck. Then his face turned grim as he chided her in a cold voice, saying, “Don’t talk nonsense. This is not a joke.”
“I’m speaking the truth. I originally intended to hide it from you and ask Tianlan to take me out of the palace. But Tianlan is now facing some trouble and I thought, Brother, that you love me the most, so I wanted to tell you,” Xi Lin said earnestly. “And I want to have this baby.”
“Lin’er…”
Xi Lin interrupted Xi Jin’s words in a low voice, saying, “Imperial Brother, you can call for the Imperial Physician if you do not believe me. But once the Imperial Physician checks, word of this matter will spread. I may be too ashamed to live at that time.”
Xi Jin stared at Xi Lin in a daze. Her serious expression, the way she had both of her hands folded over her belly, and the loving smile on her face were all the same as Shen Yunya. In other words, was Lin’er serious about what she said?
She was always appropriate and knew what to say and what not to say.
After figuring it out, Xi Jin’s face sank and he asked, “Whose is it? Let our King Father confer the marriage. You must not suffer this wrong.”
“It doesn’t matter whose it belongs to. Anyway, I want to have the child because I love my baby. I don’t wish to be married to him,” Xi Lin replied.
