"Li Jinan, come out!"
Unfortunately, Xu Lingyi's shouting was useless. Li Jinan sealed her residence tightly, leaving no room for any escape.
Even the wall of the yard where she lived had been raised a lot in recent times.
There were many locks on the gate of the courtyard, and the key was only with Li Jinan.
————
"princess……"
"Aran, are you okay?"
During this period, Xu Lingyi didn't say anything to Li Jinan, and every time they met, there would be a sharp quarrel.
Li Jinan tried to calm her down but didn't mention letting her out.
In the end, he transferred A'ran back to her side.
"Princess, I'm fine. The prince didn't punish me."
But Xu Lingyi didn't believe that she was safe. She reached out and pulled up her sleeve, checking again and again to make sure that she was really fine.
Xu Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aran... I'm glad you're okay."
A'ran shook his head: "Even if the prince really punishes A'ran, it has nothing to do with the princess. A'ran did it willingly and is very happy to be able to help the princess."
Ah Ran: "Princess, how are you feeling lately? Are you still having morning sickness?"
Xu Lingyi nodded, her lips pale, "Still the same."
Li Jinan vomited five out of the ten times she came.
He asked for a doctor many times, but Xu Lingyi only wanted Doctor Qian.
Her refusing to obey forced Li Jinan to compromise.
Thinking that she couldn't escape no matter what, it wouldn't hurt to call Doctor Qian.
Because it was Doctor Qian who was in charge, the news of Xu Lingyi's pregnancy was kept secret for the time being.
"But why do I feel that your complexion is worse than before?"
Xu Lingyi lowered her eyes and gently covered her stomach with her hand: "I had a big fight with him yesterday, and my stomach started to hurt a little."
Ah Ran became nervous and asked, "Dr. Qian has come to see me."
Xu Lingyi held her hand and said, "Aran, don't worry. It's just a miscarriage. It's not serious. I've secretly taken medication to maintain the pregnancy. I should feel better today."
A'ran was not comforted.
When she came today, red lanterns were hanging in the palace. The red color was particularly eye-catching and full of joy.
But in A'ran's eyes, it was very glaring.
Everyone is preparing for the wedding of the prince and the new princess. Tomorrow is the day the prince will marry the daughter of the Cui family.
But does anyone still remember the princess who was imprisoned here?
The prince and the queen mother didn't even know that the princess was already more than three months pregnant.
A'ran's face was full of indignation, and then he heard a sound outside the yard.
"Open the door."
It was an unfamiliar female voice, and it sounded like a young woman.
A'ran's heart paused.
"Please forgive me, my lady. It's not that I won't open it, but the key is with you, my Lord."
"Then split it open." The toffee said.
Her tone was unkind.
"Princess, what does the Consort want to do?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head. She held A'ran's hand and said, "It's nothing. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
Xu Lingyi waited for half an hour before the door seemed to be broken open.
The concubine walked in holding a young woman.
"Are you Xu Lingyi?"
Xu Lingyi looked up at her. The woman raised her chin and looked at her with eyes full of disdain and hostility.
She knew that this must be the noble lady of the Cui family that Li Jinan was going to marry. She looked very young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"It's me."
"You should have guessed who I am?"
Xu Lingyi nodded.
"I heard that the prince was deeply in love with you. I thought you were a very beautiful woman, but now I see that you are nothing special."
The Cui girl sneered.
Her beauty was one of the best in the capital, and now in Changshan, no one could compare to her.
Before coming, she heard that Xu Lingyi was the prince's wife, and the prince did not divorce her, but still made her a concubine.
She originally felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, but when she saw Xu Lingyi today, she found that she was far inferior to her.
"Mother, let's go."
She felt much less sense of crisis. She was younger than Xu Lingyi and more beautiful than her. Moreover, she could still give birth. She didn't believe that the prince didn't like her, but instead was thinking about this girl.
Seeing that she had relaxed her vigilance towards Xu Lingyi, the Concubine said nothing more, but reminded her after leaving:
"An'er has been in love with her for more than ten years. He has disobeyed me many times for her. You still can't take it lightly."
Cui Yu didn't take it to heart and just perfunctorily said, "I understand, mother."
But her nanny remembered these words and sent someone to find out the details about the prince and Xu Lingyi.
"Miss...this Xu cannot stay."
Cui Yu froze while holding the teacup. "She's just an ordinary woman. Why are you being so harsh, Madam?"
But she also knew how powerful this nanny was. She was assigned to her by her cousin, the queen. She was afraid that she would be wronged if she married far away in Changshan Prefecture, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
The nanny told Cui Yu all the information she had found out.
"Your Highness...why do you like her so much?" Cui Yu couldn't understand. Xu Lingyi's appearance and family background were only ordinary. "He actually wants to be with her forever. Is he blind?"
Cui Yu was indignant and full of hostility towards Xu Lingyi.
"Your Highness is a lovestruck man... Before I came here, the Empress instructed that anyone who might be a nuisance to Young Lady must be eliminated for you."
"Now it seems that this Xu is the person we should get rid of the most."
After hearing this, Cui Yu's expression changed. "Then kill him."
The nanny chuckled and nodded: "The Concubine is particularly disgusted with this Xu family. Why don't you go meet the Concubine now to discuss the matter?"
"You can use the Concubine Dowager to get rid of Xu. This way, you can eliminate the enemy without causing the prince to suspect us and become disgusted with you."
