Chapter 158 She Doesn’t Want to Get Involved
"Dead?"
A hint of shock flashed in Chu Cong's eyes.
"The news says he died in a fire. The specific cause still needs to be investigated." Qing Wu said in a low voice, reminding: "Your Highness, could this be related to...?"
Qing Wu didn't say it, but Chu Cong knew he was talking about the Crown Prince. A serious look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "For this matter, you should let Cang An go in person. Make sure to investigate thoroughly and don't let anyone find out."
"yes."
Qingwu responded and immediately went to deliver the message.
On the way back, Shen Lingshu vaguely noticed that the prince had a frown on his face, as if something was bothering him. She didn't ask about it, but just took her daughter with her to make the prince happy.
In March, it rained more frequently. Although the capital was just around the corner, the heavy rain prevented me from returning home.
"My concubine has fainted. Could you please come and help?"
Huayi's anxious voice sounded. Shen Lingshu looked up at Chu Cong who was playing with her daughter, and then at Zhuxin. Zhuxin immediately asked, "Huayi, the concubine fainted, so we should ask for a doctor. My master doesn't know how to treat her."
"Zhu Xin, although the concubine and the concubine are not from the same mother, they both have the surname Chen. Before the concubine fainted, she wanted to meet the concubine."
Huayi pleaded, "The concubine is not feeling well and wants to see her family."
"Perhaps, after the concubine sees the concubine, her mood will improve, and her body will also get better." Huayi looked at the room loudly and knelt down directly: "Please ask the concubine to see my concubine."
Shen Lingshu changed into clothes, took Liu Si, and went to Shen Lingyi's house across the street.
"Sister."
Shen Lingshu entered the room and looked at Shen Lingyi lying weakly on the bed. She glanced around cautiously.
squeak.
The door closed.
"Don't be nervous, sister. I just want to have a conversation with you."
Shen Lingyi looked at her with a pale face, looking weak and without any killing power.
"My elder sister is ill. Have you consulted a doctor?" Shen Lingshu changed the subject. There was no such thing as deep sisterly love. She was secretly thinking in her heart, as she was about to arrive in Kyoto, what did she want to do?
"It's the result of a previous miscarriage."
When Shen Lingyi mentioned her previous miscarriage, she looked calm and composed, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Shen Lingshu's vigilance has been raised to the highest level. She said: "Since your elder sister is not feeling well, you should rest early."
After she finished speaking, Shen Lingshu wanted to leave. Shen Lingyi looked at her anxiously leaving back and said, "Do you still remember the boy you saved by the Jinjiang River when you were nine years old?"
“…”
Shen Lingshu's heart skipped a beat. She turned around, her eyes filled with confusion, and said, "What about rescuing someone in the river? I'm afraid my elder sister didn't remember it correctly."
"Sister, don't you want to know how I became the Crown Prince's concubine?"
Shen Lingyi looked at her and asked, "Aren't you curious about how I saved His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I was so young?"
"It's none of my business."
Shen Lingshu looked as if it had nothing to do with me. She looked at the excited Shen Lingyi and said, "The past cannot be retrieved. Sister, you might as well think about how to get pregnant again!"
Her words were like a sharp knife piercing her chest. Did she not want to get pregnant and have a baby?
She had hurt her body due to a previous miscarriage, and she had been taking medicine to recuperate. Unfortunately, it had been more than half a year, and her stomach hadn't responded at all.
"You don't have to provoke me with words. Speaking of which, I owed my sister a lot back then. You know, it was you who saved people back then, and you should be the Crown Prince's concubine."
Shen Lingyi looked at her with scorching eyes, her eyes full of gloating. If she was supposed to be a concubine, now she has become a concubine. How... unfair she must feel!
Be jealous!
Shen Lingyi was ready to look at her, wanting to see the pain and unwillingness in her eyes, but who knew...
"You, you didn't have to be a concubine, but instead you were the prince's concubine. Don't you hate me?"
Shen Lingyi frowned and looked at her. She always felt that her eyes were too calm. She looked at her suspiciously: "Shen Lingshu, you, you already knew..."
"impossible!"
Shen Lingyi shook her head quickly, looked at Shen Lingshu and said, “If you knew, you would not have been so humble in the mansion and bullied by me all the time, so you can’t know.”
"Oh."
Shen Lingyi, who thought she had sorted things out, felt relieved. She looked at her sarcastically, "You must be terribly jealous, right? Since your last name is Shen, I can help you."
"help?"
Shen Lingshu raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Lingyi, as if she understood what she wanted to do.
"Are you willing to be just a concubine? I can help you."
Shen Lingyi looked at her condescendingly, took a step forward, stared at her pretty face, and wished she could scratch it. She continued to bewitch her, "How about I help you become a concubine?"
"The concubine is also very good."
Shen Lingshu is not smart at all.
"A concubine cannot be included in the Jade Records. Even if your child is listed in the royal family tree, there are only four short words for you: 'Daughter of the Shen Family'."
Shen Lingyi's voice was full of temptation.
"What's the use of a family tree? If you are included in the family tree, can you become an immortal? Or can it be used as food or medicine to treat diseases?" Shen Lingshu tilted her head. She didn't care whether she was included in the family tree or not.
"you……"
Shen Lingyi looked at her stubborn expression and glared at her fiercely. Looking at her calm face, her chest heaved violently. She took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."
After saying that, Shen Lingyi winked at Huayi.
Huayi grabbed Shen Lingshu and pushed her back.
"stop."
Liu Si pushed Hua Yi away and protected Shen Lingshu, as cautious as a little wolf cub.
"Lingyi, is this how you hire people for me?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out of the secret passage, and when he saw Shen Lingshu's hair was slightly messy, his brows sank.
"Your Highness, my maidservant is ignorant."
When Shen Lingyi saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she immediately explained with a smile, leaning on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince charmingly and bonelessly, which was in stark contrast to her just-arrogant and aggressive attitude.
Shen Lingshu glanced at him silently. She always thought that she was bold enough in front of Chu Cong, but now compared with the charming and boneless Shen Lingyi, it was simply a dwarf meeting a giant.
"Shen Lingshu, look, this is yours."
The prince directly handed over the old sachet he had kept for a long time and said, "I only realized today that I reported it to the wrong person for saving my life back then."
The old sachet looked crudely made, but the stitching was special, as was the brocade. Almost all of her things were made of this kind of brocade.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you've made a mistake. This sachet must have been dropped by me some time ago."
Shen Lingshu didn't want to acknowledge the fact that she was his savior. The prince was about to be deposed for the second time, and she didn't want to be involved with him.
