Chapter 418 I Have Bai Ling
Jin Congcong's face flushed red, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"I didn't enjoy being a father. I didn't do anything. I haven't even touched a woman since I was born... Of course, except for being beaten by my mother and Ruo'er."
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I really didn't do anything. I didn't go out to do random good deeds. I don't know why that woman came to the inn and insisted on blaming me, saying that the child in her belly was mine."
"What's even more hateful is that my master took her pulse and it turned out she was pregnant. But the old man kept her as if to watch the fun and told her to let Ruo'er decide for me to marry her."
"For the past few days, that woman has been sitting on a chair at my doorstep crying, as if I were some treacherous villain. I'm so scared that I don't even dare to leave the house."
"No, the Queen sent someone to pick up Master last night. My Master was out with the Prince, so I took the opportunity to come here and get rid of that woman."
"Ruo'er, I, Jin Congcong, swear to heaven that I really haven't done anything that would jeopardize my reputation. I really haven't."
"And that little yellow idiot didn't care about me and just watched the fun with that old man. It really pissed me off."
"Ruo'er, can I just stay in this palace? When you're done, I'll go back with you. Just look at that woman and you'll know if I'm lying. I swear, I promise, if the child in that woman's belly is really mine, let my unscrupulous parents beat me to death, and let the heavens strike me!"
"Yeah, yeah, I don't need to look at that woman, I know that child is not yours."
Jin Congcong looked at Bu Ruo with a face full of resentment: "You don't believe me either, otherwise why are you laughing? But I... woooo... I might as well find a rope and hang myself. I feel so depressed. You don't know, I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days."
Just as Jin Congcong finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door.
"Who's looking for a rope to hang himself? Eh? It's Doctor Jin. Hanging yourself with a rope is so painful. I have white silk, which feels much more comfortable than a rope."
"Well...if worst comes to worst, I have poison wine, the kind that kills you if you drink it. I don't know if it would hurt, though. After all, I haven't tried it myself."
Seeing the Queen walk in, Guo Lu quickly stood up and made room for her: "Your Majesty, please sit here and listen. This is a great seat. You can see the changes on our young doctor Jin's face. It's really wonderful."
Bu Ruo also smiled and nodded: "I knew you would come, that's why Guo Lu told the guards that you didn't need to be announced. Sure enough... I knew you wouldn't be able to wait until night."
"But it's good that you came at the right time, just in time to listen to the story. Well... you can listen to it as a storybook."
Jin Congcong wanted to cry: "Ruo'er, when will you leave the palace to help me solve this problem? I suddenly want to leave the palace. I find that as long as you are not by my side, I start to have bad luck."
"I thought I would be safe from bad luck if I just listened and didn't do bad things, but I didn't expect that staying in the inn would bring me even worse luck."
"Why don't you tell me about what's going on in the palace first? I think there must be people who are more unlucky than me, such as Xianshi... Oh, I heard that Concubine Rou died. Is it true? How is Xianshi doing now?"
The Queen nodded. "It's true. Concubine Rou is dead. As for the Third Princess...if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about her. Shuangyue, do you know what the Third Princess has been doing these days?"
The Queen's personal maid, Shuangyue, stood at the door, watching for anyone eavesdropping as she replied, "Your Majesty, ever since Concubine Rou was burned to death a few days ago, the Third Princess has locked herself up in her Tangli Palace and hasn't come out since. She eats all the food that's delivered to her daily, so she should still be alive."
The Queen raised her eyebrows. "Hasn't he come out yet? I wonder what shameful things he's been tinkering with."
Seeing the Queen's curious look, Bu Ruo smiled and said, "Want to know?"
"think."
"Okay, let's go take a look at it tonight. It's boring in this palace anyway, so it's nice to walk around every night."
"Oh, there's one more thing." Bu Ruo said, looking at Jin Congcong: "You can solve that problem if you want, but you have to wait until I leave the palace."
"Then when will you leave the palace?"
Bu Ruo thought for a moment and said, "It will probably take more than ten days to collect the compensation for Beining. Also, the prince sent someone to tell me last night that things have changed. Hmm... after the Beining Imperial City is breached and the Imperial Palace is completely occupied, I can leave the palace."
Bu Ruo didn't wait for Jin Congcong's exclamation, but instead heard the Queen's shocked voice: "Princess, are you saying... you want to stay here until Beining is destroyed? Didn't you say at the beginning that you would leave after receiving the compensation, and then attack the city?"
Bu Ruo shook her head. "We have other things to do so we have to stay in Beining for a while. We are staying here anyway, so we can just destroy it. It will only take a month or two in advance."
"That's great! I was just worried that after you left, there would be no one to accompany me. I haven't met a true lover in all these years, and your Highness is the first one."
The Queen rubbed her hands together in delight, not caring about her manners at all. "My last name is Yin Dairong, and I'm a few years older than the Princess. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister. From now on, you'll be my biological sister. How about that?"
Bu Ruo looked at the Queen's fear of being rejected and smiled, "Great! It's rare for Beining to meet someone with a compatible personality. No wonder General Di is obsessed with Sister Hui Yin."
The Queen blushed and fell silent. Instead, Jin Congcong became anxious: "Ru'er, this won't work. If you say that, you will have to stay in this palace for more than a month. By the time you leave, the baby in that woman's belly will be obvious."
Bu Ruo raised her beautiful eyebrows and said, "It's okay if it shows. Why are you so anxious? It's not yours anyway, right?"
Jin Congcong opened his mouth and said, "That's true, but it's a life after all."
"So you married her?"
Someone: ...
The Queen was completely bewildered. "What child? What about marriage or not? Is the young Divine Doctor Jin going to get married?"
The little girl spoke frankly: "Aunt Queen, it's not that Senior Brother wants to get married, but there is a pregnant woman who wants Senior Brother to be a father."
The Queen understood, and looked at Jin Congcong with more sympathy: "Is that so? If the little doctor Jin really didn't do it, then let me handle this matter."
"Before, I was heartbroken and had no interest in the rest of my life or anything else. Now... hehe, I'm in a good mood and really want to meddle in other people's business."
"Shuangyue, tomorrow you will leave the palace and bring that woman in. I want to see which girl is so shameless as to rely on someone else to be the father of her unborn child."
