Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: Why Are You Still Staying By My Side?

The man, ever since he had brought her into the Nine Lotus Hall, had never appeared before her eyes again, even though she was his cousin, she had never seen even a hint of a pleasant expression on his face.

So how could such a man possibly allow someone else to force a child that was not his own upon him?

Yet Qin Luoyin also knew.

If she did not respond to her aunt’s words at this time, then the consequences that awaited her would certainly not be pleasant.

How could her aunt possibly allow someone who no longer had any utilitarian value to her to remain by her side?

Being sent back to the Qin Family was a certainty.

But she was pregnant with a child whose father was unknown. Being sent back to the Qin Family, what outcome could there be? She knew all too well that it would not be a good one!

"Auntie, when will you send Luoyin to Prince Mo’s Mansion?" she asked furtively, glancing at Princess Consort Lian with caution.

"Soon."

Princess Consort Lian replied absently.

As for when to send Qin Luoyin to Prince Mo’s Mansion, according to her wishes, the sooner the better, of course.

But was it really that easy to enter Prince Mo’s Mansion now?

Since Sui Zimo had returned to Shaohua City, he had scarcely deigned to visit her, his mother. Perhaps her words did not carry as much weight as they used to?

Maybe she could think of a way to go to His Majesty and ask him for advice.

It just so happened that it had been a long time since she had caught the Emperor’s eye. Now that the Empress was essentially abandoned by the Emperor, it was the perfect moment for her to stand out among the women in this harem.

"Wait a bit longer, Luoyin. You go down and rest first, let me think about how I can send you to Prince Mo’s Mansion," she said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Luoyin, even if she had many more questions in her heart, could only suppress them and dared not ask any further.

Rising from the chair beside her, she bid farewell to Princess Consort Lian, took a deep breath, and let the palace maids lead her away.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has sent someone."

Not long after, Princess Consort Lian heard a palace maid come to deliver the message.

"Let them in quickly."

Princess Consort Lian’s eyes lit up, and she hastily told the palace maid.

She just knew that by having Qin Luoyin brought back, there would certainly be unexpected gains.

There was no need for her to scheme anything; the Emperor had sent someone over. He must have already learned about Qin Luoyin’s situation, right?

...

Half an hour later, Princess Consort Lian, dressed flamboyantly, arrived at the Emperor’s chambers.

Guided to the Emperor’s presence by Eunuch Gui, after paying her respects, she was beckoned by the Emperor to sit on the edge of the bed and looked at him with seductive eyes, while the Emperor himself wore a sickly expression.

"Princess Consort Lian, it has been quite a while since you last visited, has it not?" the Emperor asked softly, looking at her.

"Your servant heard that His Majesty has felt unwell these days. Thinking His Majesty needed rest, I dared not disturb you."

Princess Consort Lian pursed her lips, feigning concern for the Emperor, and looked around. Seeing that everyone else had left the sleeping quarters and they were alone, she then sighed lightly.

"Your Majesty, why do I not see the Empress here? She... "

"Don’t speak to Us about that foolish woman!"

The Emperor’s expression soured when the Empress was mentioned.

That woman had many good qualities, but she cared too much about her own son, almost forgetting who truly had authority in this palace!

He had reminded her more than once that he, the Emperor, was the person she, as the Empress, should be most concerned with. Yet she obstinately refused to listen and even had the audacity to be angry with him over Prince Lin!

Such a foolish woman, why should he keep her by his side?
