Chapter 459 She's carrying Pei Yanchuan's child.
"How long has it been? Even if Ningning didn't die after falling off the cliff, she would have been seriously injured and would have needed at least half a year to recover. It's already quite good that she has recovered except for amnesia."
“Wait, Mother, I think I understand what you’re trying to say,” Shen Ruzhi said. “You mean…”
"Is Ningning pregnant with Pei Yanchuan's child, not Yan Changfeng's?"
“That’s possible,” Lin Qingshuang said. “At least Ningning shouldn’t have sex while she’s recovering. Now it depends on how big the baby in Ningning’s belly is.”
“If it’s more than three months old, then the child must be Pei Yanchuan’s; if it’s less than a month old, then it can only be Yan Changfeng’s.”
"There's a one-month difference between the two dates."
“It must be Pei Yanchuan’s,” Shen Ruzhi said. “I understand what Junjun means.”
Shen Ruzhi stood up. "Mother, I'm going to find Yu Hai. I'll leave things here in your care."
"Zhizhi, you're pregnant," Lin Qingshuang advised. "It's not appropriate for you to go."
Madam Shen also advised against it, saying, "Yes, you are already more than five months pregnant. It might not be good for you to keep going like this."
“When you went to Dongling, you were only two months pregnant and not yet showing. Junjun and the others certainly didn’t know. If they had known, they certainly wouldn’t have written to you asking you to go to Nanli.”
“But I want to go find Ningning,” Shen Ruzhi said. “I’m worried about Ningning.”
As she spoke, she reached out and touched her belly, saying, "I think my child will be as strong as I am, and will definitely be able to hold on."
"Alright, listen to your mother. I'll send someone over, okay?"
Lin Qingshuang said, "The Empress Dowager sent Lingxue to investigate."
Ling Xue is the eldest disciple of the Lingxiao Sect. Now that Lin Qingshuang is in the palace, Ling Xue is in charge of the Lingxiao Sect.
"Yes, Zhizhi, just listen to your mother. Don't worry, the Regent is gone. He can protect Ningning better than you. What you need to do now is protect yourself and the baby in your womb."
"We'll have a better chance to explain things when Ningning comes back."
After being persuaded by the two men, Shen Ruzhi finally relented, admitting that she was indeed six months pregnant and that it was inconvenient for her to move around.
“Then let Yu Hai and Ling Xue go together, riding the big wooden bird; that way it will be faster,” Shen Ruzhi said.
"Alright, Mother will make the arrangements right away," Lin Qingshuang said.
After Yu Hai and Ling Xue reunited, Yu Hai felt that the big wooden bird was too conspicuous, so he chose to ride a horse instead. Having been in this world for so many years, Yu Hai had already learned to ride a horse.
The two arrived in Nanli.
"Let's find an inn to rest first. I'll go out and inquire about the regent of Dongling. We'll discuss our next steps after we meet up."
“No need.” Yu Hai raised his hand to stop him. “Follow me, I know where he is.”
The Ruyi Cake shop in front of him is right next to a hot pot restaurant, and both are newly opened. Most importantly, he recognizes the people standing at the entrance.
That was Mo Mo, a skilled worker under Pei Yanchuan who managed the money shops of the Prince's Mansion.
Pei Yanchuan actually had Mo Mo guarding this place.
The two arrived at the hot pot restaurant. When Mo Mo saw that it was Yu Hai, she led him directly to the backyard. To Yu Hai's surprise, Pei Yanchuan had even brought Mo Bai with him.
“The princess and Mo Bai are the closest. Maybe if she sees Mo Bai, the princess will regain some of her memories,” Mo Mo explained.
Yu Hai, being a doctor, nodded in agreement, "But you're acting so openly and honestly, aren't you afraid that Yan Changfeng will find out?"
"This is Nanli, no matter how powerful he is, he can't fight against four hands with two fists."
Mo Mo understood Yu Hai's concerns and frankly said, "We have already spread the word that the regent of Dongling is in Nanli."
"Of course, more than just these things were spread; the purpose was to lure the princess out."
"I'm afraid Yan Changfeng won't let her out," Yu Hai said.
If someone wants to keep a secret, they naturally won't let her come out to see Pei Yanchuan, especially since they know Pei Yanchuan is in Nanli, it's even more impossible for them to let the princess come out.
“Among the recent batch of new palace maids, there are some of the prince’s people,” Mo Mo said. “The princess is probably already enjoying the Ruyi cake.”
"There will be other snacks too, the princess will definitely leave the palace."
“Your prince must have misremembered. The one who’s greedy is mine. The princess isn’t greedy at all,” Yu Hai said.
"A palace spies reported that the princess has not had a proper meal since she arrived here, but she is very interested in the Ruyi cake."
Yu Hai nodded slightly upon hearing this, "This person has amnesia, but the stomach hasn't."
"So what do we do now?"
Ling Xue wasn't familiar with any of these people. The only one she knew was Yu Hai, who was always cold and expressionless when he spoke.
"Wait," Mo Mo said.
Ling Xue didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the room behind her.
"Hey, hey, where are you going?"
"Aren't we waiting? Of course we should rest for a while." Ling Xue walked briskly.
"But that's my room."
"Then you can change rooms now."
"Who said that?"
"I said it."
After Ling Xue finished speaking, the door slammed shut.
Mo Mo pointed towards her room, looking at Yu Hai with a puzzled expression, "Where did this guy come from? Has he always been so domineering?"
'Whoosh!'
No sooner had she finished speaking than a poisoned needle grazed Mo Mo's cheek and embedded itself in the potted plant by the door, instantly wilting the flowers inside.
Mo Mo stared at Yu Hai with eyes as wide as copper bells and a mouth long enough to swallow an egg.
Yu Hai reached out and patted Mo Mo on the shoulder. "She is the chief disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, and is now practically the sect leader."
"But what does this have to do with me? This isn't the Lingxiao Sect." Mo Mo shrugged and muttered in protest, afraid that another silver needle would suddenly appear from somewhere.
“It doesn’t matter, but can you beat them?” Yu Hai spread his hands and said, “So, it’s a matter of life and death.”
Mo Mo...
"In my entire life, apart from the Prince, no one has ever made me accept my fate." Mo Mo's eyes were sinister as she walked towards Mo Bai.
He opened the black white cage and threw a large piece of meat towards his room door.
Mo Bai rushed in as expected.
"No... she's a girl, after all. Don't let Mo Bai scare her." Yu Hai had just finished speaking.
Then a crackling sound came from inside the house.
Mo Mo gave a wicked smile. He stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, Mo Bai won't attack anyone without orders."
"The chief disciple is probably crying and begging for her mother on the table right now." Mo Mo said, striding into the room. "Since she's come to my territory, I'll naturally teach her a lesson."
"Otherwise, you'd think you were some kind of ice goddess, all cold and unapproachable," Mo Mo said sarcastically.
"So, Miss Ling, are you still sleeping in this room...?"
As Mo Mo spoke, he pushed open the door, and the scene before him made his eyes widen in shock once again...
