Chapter 381: The Palace is Bewitched to Death
After Su Nuan finished speaking, she thought of what Ye Yin had just said vaguely. She guessed that Ye Yin deliberately let the person go in order to play the long game and catch a bigger fish.
I just don’t know who the big fish behind those people is.
"By the way, who is the person that the prince asked you to save?"
"He is an envoy from Fanli State."
"The envoy from Fanli," Su Nuan murmured. She remembered that when they were in Xiaomian Town, Mu Yunting said that the envoy from Fanli brought a piece of evidence that could point to the person who was really wanted back then.
However, Mu Yunting had already had contact with the envoy of Fanli, but he had not seen him arrest anyone as a traitor. It was very likely that the evidence was a person, and that person was the one saved by Liao Xinyi.
So this person is really important.
"Did you save that man?"
“Not completely saved.”
"How to say?"
"His life was saved, but he was not revived. Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the man back to the Imperial City for Senior Brother to treat. I don't know whether Senior Brother was able to cure him or not."
Su Nuan guessed that it was probably incurable.
"Ah Nuan."
Su Nuan asked Liao Xinyi to call her by her real name when no one was around, but Liao Xinyi felt it was awkward to call her by her given name, so when they were alone together, Liao Xinyi would call her "A Nuan."
"I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts Miss Xun that much. He seems to be investigating the Xun family."
Su Nuan shook her head. "His investigation into the Xun family doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't trust Miss Xun. The Xun family has been exposed, but the treason case they were involved in was real. It's just that someone else was the one who was treasoning. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is investigating the Xun family, probably just to find the person who was actually treasoning."
Liao Xinyi was silent for a moment, then said, "What kind of person is Miss Xun? Is His Royal Highness really going to marry her as his principal wife?"
"A white lotus. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is completely fascinated by her."
Liao Xinyi didn't understand what the white lotus that Su Nuan mentioned really meant. She just thought that the white lotus should be pure, and a woman described as a white lotus should have excellent character. So she could understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was fascinated by her. But the phrase "life or death" really tickled her funny bone, and she burst out laughing.
She laughed happily, but Ye Yin had a hard time holding it back. He looked at the Crown Prince and his dying look kept appearing in his mind. If he didn't have great self-control, he really wouldn't have been able to hold it back.
After laughing for a while, Liao Xinyi calmed down and said, "I have never seen how the Crown Prince treats Miss Xun, but I think he is sincere to you. Even if he marries a concubine, it will not affect your status, not to mention your pregnancy..."
Liao Xinyi suddenly stopped talking at this point. It was something that hadn't been confirmed yet, and she was afraid that if she told Su Nuan about it, she would make her happy for nothing.
"You want to talk about the baby in my belly?"
"How did you know?"
Liao Xinyi was surprised.
The one who was more surprised than her was Ye Yin. Ye Yin was not just surprised, he was shocked, and after the shock he was excited.
"Your Highness! You...I...Concubine Xia..."
Grabbing Mu Yunting's arm, Ye Yin spoke incoherently.
Mu Yunting was startled. "What happened to you? Did you hurt your brain just now?"
Ye Yin calmed himself down, organized his words, and was about to speak again.
"Dr. Yao checked my pulse, but he said he couldn't be sure yet. I might be pregnant, or I might not be."
Su Nuan answered Liao Xinyi's question, but successfully made Ye Yin shut up.
He shouldn't tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about something that hasn't been confirmed. If His Royal Highness knew that Concubine Xia might be pregnant, he would be so happy that he would go crazy. But if it turns out to be a mistake and she's not pregnant at all, I can't imagine how disappointed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be. He might really be "desperate" at that time.
"What on earth are you going to say?"
Mu Yunting frowned and asked Ye Yin.
His secret guard leader has always been steady. What happened to him today? Could it be that he has been with Xia Changze for too long and picked up his bad habits?
Ever since Xia Changze said those words to him in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, he disliked Xia Changze and always thought of him for any "good things".
Ye Yin quickly let go of his hand, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was just hit by Concubine Xia's brother, and my mind is a little unclear."
"Is his punch that powerful?"
Mu Yunting asked with a frown, but he regretted it after asking. If he was not powerful and someone beat him until he was bruised and battered, then what was he?
Ye Yin had followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so long, how could he not notice the changes in his expression, so he replied: "Amazing, indeed amazing."
The insincere comment silenced both of them.
On the other side, Su Nuan had already pulled Liao Xinyi into the room, so no third person could eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Since Senior Brother also said that she is pregnant, then it is almost certain. Master was a famous doctor in the Imperial Hospital. Senior Brother has learned all the true teachings from Master. He must be sure of it if he dares to say it."
Liao Xinyi took Su Nuan's hand and said seriously, "So you must take good care of your body from now on."
"I really want to, but there's no one around to take care of me. They say the first three months of pregnancy are very dangerous, and I don't know if I can get through it safely."
"Girl, stop talking nonsense. Senior Brother is here to ensure the safety of you and your child."
"Dr. Yao is a man and cannot stay by my side all the time. Now there is not only another concubine living in the Crown Prince's Mansion, but also the future Crown Princess. The environment is very complicated. Who can guarantee that someone does not want my child to be born smoothly? If Dr. Yao is too busy to take care of me, then my child will be..."
Su Nuan looked at Liao Xinyi pitifully, without blinking.
Liao Xinyi said helplessly: "Okay, I promise to stay with you until the fetus is three months old."
Three months should be about the right time. Su Nuan was satisfied and put away her gaze. She continued to make a request: "I don't want anyone to know that I'm pregnant too early. You have to keep it a secret for me."
"It's really not advisable to tell others too early. It's not too late to tell others after three months."
Liao Xinyi was also afraid that someone would have bad intentions towards the baby in Su Nuan's belly.
"Since you asked me to stay and take care of you, you have to listen to me about taking care of your health. I have a few requests of you."
"Of course I'll listen to you. Just tell me what you want."
Su Nuan agreed readily.
Liao Xinyi was very satisfied with Su Nuan's attitude and continued, "My first request is that you cannot have sex with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before the fetus is three months old."
Su Nuan's face turned red. It was something she would never do, but it was still embarrassing to hear it said so directly.
"The second requirement is to go out less during this period."
Su Nuan thought about it and felt that this request was a bit high, but she could just keep the person first and take him with her when she went out.
"The third one... Never mind. We'll talk about the third one later."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was no third request.
She had finally managed to keep the person for two months, and she didn't know if her third brother would be lucky enough to keep him forever.
