Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Speak Without Thinking

"Alright,"

Lin Caisang responded.

...

Within the imperial palace of Shaohua City,

after Qin Luoyin was stopped by the guards from Prince Mo’s Mansion, as Lin Caisang had expected, she was pitifully taken into the palace by Princess Consort Lian’s people.

On this side, the Emperor naturally heard about Qin Luoyin’s situation.

Lying on his sickbed, he still had some impression of this niece of Princess Consort Lian.

It was Princess Consort Lian who personally recommended Qin Luoyin to him, to have her go to Sui Zimo’s side to probe for information about Nine Lotus Hall.

Over the years, Qin Luoyin had not let him down, indeed conveying many pieces of news from Nine Lotus Hall that proved very useful; he was naturally gratified.

"Summon Princess Consort Lian," he instructed Eunuch Gui.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Gui merely glanced at the Emperor and, after responding, walked out.

...

"Aunt, what am I to do?"

In Princess Consort Lian’s residence, Qin Luoyin, who had just been brought back to the palace, still had tear stains on her face.

"The news that I carry Sui Zimo’s child has spread, but... Sui Zimo is no fool, how could he possibly let us tarnish his reputation like this?"

She was not unaware of whether or not the child in her womb was truly Sui Zimo’s.

Having been in Nine Lotus Hall for so long, although she had many men around her, she was actually unclear about the real father of her child.

But one thing she was sure of, this child was most certainly not Sui Zimo’s!

"Hmm?"

Princess Consort Lian’s cold eyes swept over to Qin Luoyin when she heard her words.

"Er,"

Qin Luoyin immediately choked and bit her teeth silently.

"Forgive me, Aunt," Luoyin had no choice but to say with pursed lips, "it was wrong of me to speak out of turn. There’s no question of us framing Sui Zimo. The child in my belly is indeed his."

But heaven knows how terrified she was at the thought of Sui Zimo returning from Leyang Lake and exposing the lies she had told?

"As long as you’re aware, be more careful with your words in the future!" Princess Consort Lian looked at her sternly and warned.

She cared not whose child was in Qin Luoyin’s belly; Qin Luoyin just needed to understand one thing, that the child was Sui Zimo’s.

As long as Qin Luoyin stood firm on that point, then Sui Zimo had no way to deal with them!

"Yes, Aunt,"

Qin Luoyin had no choice but to agree.

Although she was anxious and uneasy here, if she were still in Nine Lotus Hall, her belly growing larger day by day, those men she had bribed, if seen, would definitely cause trouble.

At that time, with so many men fighting over claiming to be the father of her child in her belly...

The thought of that scenario made her scalp tingle.

At least, after being summoned back by her aunt, she had her protection here, and Sui Zimo still couldn’t do anything to her.

"Luoyin will follow all of Aunt’s instructions,"

She said obediently.

"Hmm,"

Seeing her acquiescence, Princess Consort Lian nodded satisfactorily.

"Luoyin, you can rest assured, this princess will make sure that Sui Zimo acknowledges the child in your belly," she said. "He may not want to suffer this loss, but he will have to swallow it."

At least for now, she was still Sui Zimo’s mother and there was no way he would want to openly defy her, was there?

That was of course impossible!

"With Aunt’s words, Luoyin can finally be at ease,"

Qin Luoyin stiffened her face, forcing a smile, and spoke to Princess Consort Lian.

In her heart, she thought, if Sui Zimo was really that easy to talk to, that would be strange!
