Chapter 1373: Chapter 1373: Pregnant with Zimo’s Child

Even if he couldn’t depose the Empress just yet, he didn’t want to see her anymore, at least not for the time being!

"Your Majesty, forgive me, it is my fault."

Princess Consort Lian quickly stood up and knelt down before the Emperor, carefully admitting her mistake.

"You have done nothing wrong; rise and take a seat," the Emperor said, patting the bed beside him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

While thanking him, Princess Consort Lian sat back down on the edge of the bed.

Inside, she felt an instant surge of triumph. Surely it was her turn to hold her head high and take a deep breath?

The Emperor refused to see anyone due to illness, except for summoning her. By tomorrow, who in this harem would dare to gossip behind her back?

"Princess Consort Lian, We have heard that you brought your niece from your maternal family into the palace today," the Emperor inquired as Princess Consort Lian said nothing.

"Yes."

Princess Consort Lian quickly nodded in acknowledgment.

"Your Majesty, I called Luoyin, that child, into the palace."

"Luoyin?"

The Emperor followed up on her statement.

"You mean Qin Luoyin, who previously visited Nine Lotus Hall? How is it that she has suddenly returned?"

Of course, being the Emperor, how could he not know why Qin Luoyin had returned; he understood it perfectly.

But that’s always how these conversations start.

"Speaking of Luoyin,"

Princess Consort Lian shook her head regretfully.

"It was all my fault for not thinking it through. When I heard she liked that child Zimo, I allowed her to go with him. Little did I know, that Zimo...

Now Luoyin is pitiable, carrying Zimo’s child yet unable to claim it, having to endure hardship and traveling thousands of miles alone to clear things up with Zimo.

But those at Prince Mo’s Mansion turned her away, refusing to let Luoyin enter, and chased her out. Seeing her plight, I thought of bringing her into the palace to stay for a few days.

When Zimo returns from Leyang Lake, I’ll summon him to the palace so they can discuss Luoyin’s situation thoroughly. After all, the child is his, and even if he chooses not to acknowledge it, that’s no way to treat Luoyin."

As she spoke, she kept stealthily gauging the Emperor’s expression.

However, the Emperor’s face seemed to improve as Princess Consort Lian said more and more.

He had been worried about not being able to plant someone trustworthy in Prince Mo’s Mansion to keep an eye on Sui Zimo, but now, with Qin Luoyin at hand, and bearing...

Thinking of the child in Qin Luoyin’s womb, his face darkened, but he quickly concealed it again.

Even if the child in Qin Luoyin’s womb wasn’t his, Sui Zimo’s, so what?

As long as he claimed the child was Sui Zimo’s, even if he wanted to deny it, it would be impossible! He’d have to swallow this loss no matter what!

"Is that so?"

He gave the impression that he had just learned of the situation, nodding his head as if it mattered a great deal.

"Since Qin Luoyin is carrying Mo’er’s child, she is now part of the royal family. We shall decide for her: let her move into Prince Mo’s Mansion. As for Mo’er, if he is unwilling, let him speak with Us!"

"This consort thanks Your Majesty for the grace," Princess Consort Lian said, quickly kneeling to express gratitude on behalf of Qin Luoyin.

As long as Qin Luoyin could enter Prince Mo’s Mansion, it would be like establishing a connection between her and the Emperor.

Then, as long as the Empress failed to regain the Emperor’s favor, she would be the primary person by the Emperor’s side, irreplaceable by anyone.

Furthermore, if she could get Jin’er to make more effort and seize more power in the court for herself, even the Emperor would not easily be able to harm her in the future.
