Chapter 42: Fake and pro-princess in substitute literature (8)
Lin Lanyi came back pregnant.
Pregnant, just over four months.
This was a very embarrassing time that left Lin Lanyi speechless.
In fact, if there is really a lover, there is no need to explain at all.
But the love between Lin Lanyi and Zong Yan has long since disappeared.
The only thing that tied them together was their unwillingness.
A woman who was unwilling to give up her status as a princess and the concubine of Xiyue only ended up in this situation.
Even when she occasionally escaped from the Prince of England's palace to play and heard people talking about how the so-called Princess Huiyi had contributed to the country and the people, she couldn't help but want to shout out.
It is obvious that she is the real Princess Huiyi, and all the praises should belong to herself.
If she had not escaped from the marriage and instead married to Xiyue, she would be Chunyu Di'an's eldest concubine now.
I heard that Chunyu Di'an was very heroic and the most outstanding Khan king in Western Vietnam for several generations.
That was supposed to be her marriage!
Although Zong Yanzhi felt sorry for Shi Ran, she didn't think Shi Ran's life was that bad.
Power, status, fame, she has it all.
Moreover, she still has the title of Princess Huiyi.
What Zong Yanzhi was unwilling to accept may be that he gave away his pearls with his own hands and left the fish eyes behind.
Before, there was a palace barrier. Apart from a few meetings at palace banquets, the more information Zong Yanzhi got about Lin Lanyi came from rumors.
In other words, what he admired was the kind-hearted little princess back then, and the image she pieced together from many subsequent rumors.
Wait until the two people really break through all the restrictions and come together.
They just found out.
Maybe they never understood each other.
Zong Yanzhi looked at Lin Lanyi coldly, and after a long time, he said solemnly, "Kill it off, and you can still stay in the Prince of England's palace."
This was his final concession to his past relationship.
Lin Lanyi looked up at Zong Yanzhi in disbelief.
"Do you suspect that this child is not yours? Zong Yanzhi, do you have a conscience? I am a princess, how could I do such despicable things? Shangguan Daxia and I are just close friends. I envy the knights' wantonness, so I want to see it. The two of us have always been innocent, and there has been nothing wrong with us!"
Lin Lanyi is indeed innocent.
The child in her belly was indeed Zong Yanzhi's.
She yearns for the so-called freedom of the world, but she will never easily commit herself to a knight-errant.
After all, she always remembers that she is a princess.
Therefore, after discovering that she was pregnant, the first thing she thought of was to return to the Prince's Palace.
When she returned to the Royal Palace, the child she gave birth to was still of the blood of the British Palace.
In the future, they will still be kings and nobles.
Therefore, she returned to the British Prince's Palace regardless of the knight's admiration for her.
However, she didn't expect that Zong Yanzhi would doubt her chastity.
Seeing Zong Yanzhi's evasive eyes, the furious Lin Lanyi said angrily.
"Do you think I am your Shi Ran? I am so humble that I can happily marry someone else just a few days after my newlywed husband dies. Moving between two people on the bed, this is you..."
The more Lin Lanyi talked, the angrier she became, and she even got off the bed barefoot and walked to Zong Yanzhi.
"Snapped!"
Zong Yanzhi used all his strength in this slap.
He slapped Lin Lanyi to the ground directly.
Lin Lanyi didn't get up for a long time and fell to the ground groaning in pain.
The blood gradually spread underneath her body, dyeing her goose-yellow dress red.
But Zong Yanzhi seemed not to see it.
It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that he lowered his eyes and shouted, "Come here, call the doctor."
Naturally, the child cannot be saved.
Because of what happened this time, Lin Lanyi's chances of getting pregnant again are slim.
After waking up, Lin Lanyi looked at the bed curtain blankly.
Zong Yanzhi never even looked at her.
She gave up so much and thought she was heading towards a new and happy life.
Now it seems that what is her life for?
She thought that Xiyue was a devil's cave, so she had to escape even if she gave up her honor as a princess.
As a result, the fake princess had everything going smoothly in Xiyue.
But she, who she thought was her beloved, was thinking about that impostor!
From then on, Lin Lanyi, as if she suddenly understood something, built a Buddhist hall in her courtyard, and knelt in the hall every day to chant sutras, not wanting to see Zong Yanzhi again.
It seems that all thoughts are lost.
After all, Zong Yanzhi had some old feelings for her, and with the loss of his son this time, Zong Yanzhi finally felt guilty, so everything in the hospital was still given as the best.
Even, in order to prevent Lin Lanyi from being bullied by other concubines in the palace after losing his son, he also handed over the stewardship of the palace's backyard to Lin Lanyi.
Before, he had also mentioned that Lin Lanyi should be responsible for the affairs in the backyard.
But at that time, Lin Lanyi didn't want to see the bunch of concubines in the backyard, so she pushed the matter out several times.
Everything in the backyard has always been taken care of by the palace's steward.
But now, Lin Lanyi calmly took over the housekeeper's keys and the palace's account books.
After all, she was once a direct princess of the middle palace, but the queen never taught her how to manage the harem.
After all, the future envisioned by the queen at that time was to recruit a son-in-law for her in the imperial capital. As a consort, there were a few who dared to take concubines.
Naturally, the housekeeper in the palace will take care of all the affairs of the princess's residence, so she, the princess, does not have to worry about it.
But after all, she had grown up watching how her mother managed the harem, how she controlled her servants, and how she suppressed her concubines.
Therefore, Lin Lanyi, who is now calm and looking past everything, has done an excellent job.
Keep the entire British palace in order.
It also allowed Zong Yanzhi to live a comfortable life for two years.
It wasn't until the news came that Shi Ran had given birth that he went crazy again.
This time, his thoughts of trying to persuade the prince to start another war between the Wei Dynasty and Western Vietnam became more intense.
A few days after Shi Ran married Xiyue, he had an idea in his mind.
Because only in this way can he welcome his Shi Ran back openly.
He even had an even bolder idea.
He wanted to exchange Lin Lanyi for Shi Ran.
After all, after welcoming the princess back to the court, Shi Ran will definitely be discovered by the Holy Emperor and the Queen.
Especially the queen.
That was her biological daughter.
Although due to current circumstances, he had to be sent to West Vietnam for marriage.
However, how could he not notice it after being raised by him personally for so many years?
Didn't Lin Lanyi always miss her princess status?
Then give it back to her.
And Shi Ran was able to stay with him as he wished.
Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
Zong Yanzhi felt that he had come up with a brilliant idea.
But he had no idea that he was driving himself towards death.
