Reborn Princess

Chapter 106 Pregnancy

Shen Lilan went to Ye Qinghe's yard and waited. Ye Qinghe was helped in by a maid.

When she saw Shen Yanlan, her eyes dodged slightly.

"You all go down."

"Yes."

"Is the princess okay?"

Ye Qinghe glanced at Shen Lilan and nodded.

"Princess, is there anything you want to tell me?" Shen Lilan asked, staring at Ye Qinghe's expression.

"I..." Ye Qinghe paused and said, "I lied to you."

Shen Lilan chuckled: "Lying to me?"

"Before, I only mentioned Yang Ruowei."

Shen Lilan: "Don't you know that Zhou Tangyue is involved?"

"It was Yang Ruowei who threatened me at that time, I..."

"Yang Ruowei threatened you, but Zhou Tangyue never mentioned her to me without you? Ye Qinghe, someone else has the evidence against you, and you are still hiding it for her?"

"That palace banquet was also organized by Zhou Tangyue, right?"

Ye Qinghe nodded.

Shen Lilan stood up with a smile, "Ye Qinghe, playing with fire is like burning yourself, don't kill yourself."

"I……"

"Now the whole capital is talking about this matter. This is all your fault. You can't get anything done if you are indecisive."

Ye Qinghe closed his eyes, "No more."

"Never again."

Shen Lilan: "Yang Ruowei and Zhou Tangyue have been in contact privately?"

Ye Qinghe recalled: "When Yang Ruowei was still a concubine, she summoned me three times, and Zhou Tangyue was there twice."

Shen Yanlan understood, and she asked: "How is your brother now?"

Ye Qinghe said with red eyes: "He... was beaten with twenty boards."

Shen Lilan frowned: "Did Madam Wu order you to do this?"

"My mother was so angry that she wanted to beat me, but my brother protected me, so he was beaten with 20 sticks by my father's servants."

Shen Lilan looked at her: "Then what does he do to you..."

Ye Qinghe shook his head: "It's just the love that a brother has for his sister."

Shen Lilan didn't say anything. Those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Ye Qinghe was afraid that she really couldn't tell that Ye Jian'an treated her differently.

Shen Lilan stood up: "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a different result."

……

On the carriage back to the mansion, Shen Lilan recalled the events of his previous life. The Wu family was convicted of hiding the son of a criminal and fell into decline soon after.

But, what is Ye Jian’an’s identity?

She was puzzled.

At the Ding'an Palace, Shen Xilan returned to Liyuan Pavilion. When she passed by the garden, she heard a voice coming from behind the rockery.

"You said the prince asked the princess to drink contraceptive soup?"

"Yes, I don't know anything else, but the purple grass in the medicine residue is obviously a contraceptive."

"Speak softly so no one else can hear you."

"I didn't expect that even though they seemed to be very affectionate, the prince didn't want the princess to get pregnant."

"You don't know, this is a marriage of alliance, and the most taboo thing is to get pregnant."

……

Shen Lilan stood there listening to their conversation for a long time without moving.

"My lady, I'll go take a look."

Shen Xilan didn't say anything. She watched Lu Nong walk away without stopping, and walked back to the courtyard along the gravel road.

Shen Xilan returned to the room, still thinking about the conversation between the two of them. She looked at the table and saw a jade ring on it.

Shen Lilan picked up the jade ring and looked at it. There was a word "Nan" on it.

A name popped up in Shen Lilan's mind - Wang Yunnan.

Shen Lilan held the jade ring in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

It was already late when Zhou Cechen returned home, and the yard looked dim under the afterglow of the setting sun.

When Zhou Cechen arrived at Liyuan Pavilion carrying a bag of cakes, Shen Lilan was not there, and he frowned.

"Where's the princess?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen is in the study."

Zhou Cechen nodded.

In the study, Shen Xilan was sitting in the inner room in a white dress. The window beside her was open, and she could see the bright moon and the big tree.

Shen Lilan supported his face with one hand and picked up the wine bottle with the other hand and poured the wine into his mouth.

As soon as Zhou Cechen opened the door of the study, a smell of alcohol hit his nose. He frowned and walked inside quickly.

He stood at the door, watching Shen Xilan drinking wine with her long black hair draped over her shoulders. She must have drunk too much, as there were tears in her eyes.

Zhou Cechen walked over, and Shen Xilan found herself hidden in a shadow. She frowned and looked up.

Zhou Cechen's cold face met her eyes.

Shen Lilan looked up and admired Zhou Cechen's face, and then took a sip of wine.

Zhou Cechen leaned over and lifted Shen Lilan's chin to force her to look at him: "Why did you drink so much?"

Shen Lilan's chin was pinched by him and it hurt, so she broke free.

"Do you tube!"

Zhou Cechen saw the visible red on Shen Lilan's chin, and he regretted for a moment that he had used too much force.

"Your body is not suitable for drinking." Zhou Cechen took the wine glass from Shen Lilan's hand.

Shen Lilan struggled to grab it, but Zhou Cechen used such great strength that he pinned Shen Lilan's hands behind her back.

"you're drunk."

Shen Yanlan said: "Don't bother with me, let me go!"

Zhou Cechen didn't know what Shen Lilan was angry about, so he picked her up and let her sit on the windowsill.

Shen Xinglan leaned on the windowsill and looked at him in astonishment.

"Tell me, why are you unhappy?"

Shen Lilan lowered his head: "You... don't like children?"

Zhou Cechen thought about her words and associated it with today's medicine. He seemed to have guessed it.

"I don't like children," he replied.

Shen Lilan lowered his head and said nothing.

"But if it's with you, I think I will learn to love him." Another word from Zhou Cechen fell into Shen Lilan's ears, and Shen Lilan looked up at Zhou Cechen.

"But after last night, you asked the kitchen to stew some contraceptive soup for us today."

"Your body is not capable of bearing a child right now, Fufu."

Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen: "I can't have a baby?"

Zhou Cechen placed his hands on both sides of Shen Lilan and said, "It's temporary, not forever."

"You have a cold body. If you get pregnant, you will easily have a miscarriage. You must take good care of your body."

Shen Lilan lowered his head and said "Oh".

Zhou Cechen bent down and asked, "Fu Fu wants a child?"

Shen Lilan's ears turned red: "No."

Zhou Cechen put his arm around Shen Lan's waist and said, "Don't worry, let everything take its course. Don't worry about it. Even if there is no child, you are still my Lan'er."

Shen Yanlan looked at Zhou Cechen's empty hands and asked, "Where's your jade ring?"

Zhou Cechen glanced at his hand and said, "It must have been broken when it fell off the cliff."

Shen Lilan put the jade ring in his hand down to show him: "You saw it on the table."

Zhou Cechen frowned, picked up the jade ring, took a look at it and said, "It's not mine."

"Words." Zhou Cechen said.

As soon as Yanci came in, he saw the ambiguous posture of the prince and the princess.

Shen Xilan didn't expect Zhou Cechen to bring up the matter so directly. She lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt embarrassedly.

"Who released it?" Zhou Cechen asked in a low voice.

Yanci suddenly had a bad feeling. He took a look at the jade ring and said, "It's my subordinate."
