Chapter 916: Jiang Ying Kneels to Beg to See Tianlan
Xi Lin wasn’t surprised at his promise. However, as soon as she relaxed, her stomach felt uncomfortable again. She bent over and vomited. Her face paled instantly.
“Lin’er, are you okay?” Xi Jin rushed forward and patted her on the back. When she was almost done vomiting, he wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. He then turned around and helped her get water to let her rinse her mouth.
Xi Lin looked at her Imperial Brother, who took such good care of her, then shook her head, and smiled. “It’s okay. It’s just morning sickness. It’ll be fine after a while.”
“Shen Yunya doesn’t vomit.” Xi Jin was extremely distressed. She was his only precious sister, so how could he let her suffer a life-or-death situation such as getting pregnant?“Everybody is different.” Xi Lin stretched out her hand to take Xi Jin’s arm and acted endearingly. “Brother, don’t tell anyone about this. I want to leave the palace to give birth to this child,” she said.
Xi Jin was silent for a while and then finally sighed helplessly. “Brother will help you,” he answered.
It really wouldn’t be good if word of this incident spread. Since she decided to give birth, getting out of the palace was the best option. Moreover, Lin’er had always liked life outside the palace, so it would be the best thing for her.
As long as Lin’er was blissful and happy, he, as her elder brother, just needed to help her bear the burden of everything else.
“Brother, how did you know the cause of Dai’er’s death?” Xi Lin asked Xi Jin curiously.
“Perhaps it was God’s will,” Xi Jin said nonchalantly. He turned to look at her and then scolded her lightly, saying, “On the contrary. You’ve been hiding the truth from your brother, so you’re really a good sister indeed.”
Xi Lin pouted and acted childishly, saying, “Tianlan didn’t let me tell you.”Xi Jin looked at her helplessly, a doting look on his face, and then finally asked a few more things. He kept her company as she finished her dinner. Upon seeing that she was eating such bland foods with barely any grease yet she still felt like vomiting just by looking at them, he felt even more distressed. He really wanted to drag that man out and beat him up.
Feng Tianlan used scissors to trim the white orchids in the yard as she listened to the news about Shui Jue’s investigation. She then said, “Let the concubines live in the Jiang family’s house. They’ve been too annoying recently.”
Shui Jue replied, “There’s also that woman. She hasn’t sought out Dongfang Chu recently and hasn’t been found in Lin’an City, either. It seems as if she has never appeared before.”
Feng Tianlan gave a faint “hmm.” That wasn’t something strange. “How is the investigation on Shen Yunya’s confidant?”
That confidant hadn’t been Shen Yunya’s personal maid before, so she had to be investigated.
“She is an orphan with no father or mother. She was saved by Shen Yunya, but she had a lover who she grew up dependent on. He cares about her very much. Now, he doesn’t know what she’s doing, and Shen Yunya doesn’t know about his existence. She seems to want to protect him,” Shui Jue answered.
Feng Tianlan trimmed the extra branches and leaves of the white orchid and then finally said, “Where are they now?”
“Now, we’re just watching. But if Her Highness wants to, Her Highness can see her at any time.”
Feng Tianlan hummed faintly. “Find a way for them to meet so that we can make her act according to our wishes. Let me know when the time comes so that I can see them in person.”
Since she was Shen Yunya’s confidant, she must know a lot about Shen Yunya. Perhaps there would be evidence. As long as that confidant betrayed Shen Yunya, things would basically be halfway done.
“Her Highness, Jiang Ying is kneeling outside. He begs you to meet him and says that if you don’t go see him, he won’t get up from the ground,” a guard came in and reported.
Only the ten guards left by Si Mobai could enter Si Feng Pavilion and no one else.
“Let him continue kneeling. You both may be excused. Just practice High-level Skill Manuals outside,” Feng Tianlan said.
