Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361 Qin Luoyin Returns

Of course, Sui Zimo wasn’t really intending to go into the mountains; he was planning to return to Shaohua City, and her "escort" was essential.

"Alright."

Sui Zimo responded.

"Grandpa, I’m going to take a look in the mountains. Once Grandma finishes making the corn cakes, I’ll be able to come back," Lin Caisang stood up, spoke to Lin Laogeng, and then left with Sui Zimo.

...

Shortly after, the two of them were already in the lakeside villa by Leyang Lake.

Zhe Jue saw them return and hurried over.

"Your Highness, there is trouble."

His complexion was somewhat troubled. After glancing at Lin Caisang, he looked at Sui Zimo.

"What happened?"

Sui Zimo looked at him and asked.

What could possibly make Zhe Jue look so troubled? Could it be that the emperor would issue a decree to punish him for taking a brief respite?

"Qin Luoyin has returned," Zhe Jue announced.

"Qin Luoyin?"

A flicker of confusion crossed Sui Zimo’s face, as if he couldn’t recall the name at all.

"Brother Molian, it’s your ’cousin,’" Lin Caisang reminded him from the side.

As for this niece of Princess Consort Lian, she remembered quite well. Wasn’t it said that she had always been in the Nine Lotus Hall?

"Why would she return at this time? It seems a bit too coincidental, doesn’t it?"

"Hmph."

Sui Zimo snorted coldly.

"Since she cannot see me herself, she sends her niece instead? Hah."

What else could it be? It must have been Princess Consort Lian who sent word for Qin Luoyin to come back. Perhaps she thought Qin Luoyin was allowed to stay in the Nine Lotus Hall because he had taken an interest in her.

"Where is she?"

He asked Zhe Jue.

"News from Prince Mo’s Mansion says that as soon as Qin Luoyin returned to Shaohua City, under Princess Consort Lian’s instigation, she attempted to move into Prince Mo’s Mansion," Zhe Jue replied.

Prince Mo’s Mansion was not a place Qin Luoyin could simply enter as she pleased. Naturally, it was impossible.

But Qin Luoyin had managed to stay alone in the Nine Lotus Hall for so long, and she certainly wasn’t a woman of meek temperament. Barred from entering Prince Mo’s Mansion, she had her own methods.

"Blocked by the mansion guards, seeing no way into Prince Mo’s Mansion, she went straight to the imperial palace, sought Princess Consort Lian’s support, and also..."

"Also what?"

Sui Zimo urged him to continue as he stopped speaking.

"What else could there be?"

Lin Caisang laughed dismissively. These tricks of crying, making scenes, and threatening desperate actions never seemed adequate.

"Of course she would have cried all the way there, making it known to all, right?"

"Miss Lin is correct."

Zhe Jue felt quite helpless about this situation too, thinking that Qin Luoyin had truly mastered every trick in the book when it came to feminine wiles.

"In fact, this matter alone wasn’t much of an issue, but..."

He glanced at Lin Caisang again, then turned his eyes back to his lord.

"Your Highness, Qin Luoyin claims to be carrying your child, insisting on living in Prince Mo’s Mansion, and... and she wishes to petition the emperor to bestow upon her the title of Princess Consort Mo!"

This was truly going too far!

Qin Luoyin had been staying in the Nine Lotus Hall, which His Highness never visited. Where exactly did she conceive His Highness’s child?

"Pfft!"

Hearing these words, Lin Caisang truly spewed out her mouthful of tea.

"A child? She’s pregnant?"

"Yes."

Zhe Jue nodded. Otherwise, why would his countenance appear so troubled?

"Is this matter true?" Sui Zimo asked with a cold expression.

"Indeed."

Zhe Jue nodded again.

"Your Highness, the imperial physicians have already examined Qin Luoyin and confirmed her pregnancy to be over three months."
