That night, news of Fang Jinlan's death came from the Ministry of Punishment.
It snowed heavily for three days. Only after the snow stopped did the news reach Yiku Palace.
The Yikun Palace has long lost its former prosperity.
All the servants in the Yikun Palace were dismissed, and except for two servants who were there to deliver meals, there was no one else.
The news was brought in by the eunuch who delivered the meal.
When Shu Wanyi heard this, her expression changed.
The next sentence followed by gritting his teeth and cursing: "She deserves it!"
Fang Jinlan deserved to die!
If she hadn't framed me first, how could she have ended up in this situation today?
"She deserves to die. Why didn't she die earlier?" Shu Wanyi gritted her teeth and threw everything on the table to the ground.
When Zhou Linghai came out, he subconsciously looked at the ground.
Looking at the food all over the floor, Zhou Linghai's eyes changed.
Since the house arrest, the imperial kitchen has not cut any expenses. All food, clothing and daily necessities are available, but the things delivered are only for one person.
What's more, she has now been demoted from noble concubine to Wanyi.
The meals are limited every day.
Wanyi's meal usually consists of four dishes and one soup. The dishes are exquisite and delicious, but the portions are not large.
Even though there was a piece of pastry in the afternoon, the portion for one person was still not enough for two people.
What's more, Zhou Linghai is a strong man. He has never had a full meal since he was imprisoned in the Yikun Palace.
We got up late for breakfast today, so Shu Wanyi didn't go to get it. Now, the lunch she finally got was ruined again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Linghai's eyes darkened. He took a deep breath and lowered his eyes to look at Shu Wanyi.
"What happened?"
There is no one else in the Yikun Palace now, let alone the palace maids to serve, there is not even a bird to stay.
As long as he didn't go out, Zhou Linghai could come and go freely in the house without having to hide like he did in the past.
He had just gotten up from the bed, and without disguising himself, he put on an outer coat and walked towards Shu Wanyi.
"What happened? Why are you so angry?"
When Shu Wanyi saw him, the fierceness in her eyes finally dissipated a little: "Fang Jinlan is dead."
She lowered her head, and her eyes were full of hatred when she said this.
But it is mixed with a hint of complexity.
"She..." Zhou Linghai paused, then asked, "Why did she die? How did you know?"
"The eunuch who delivered the meal just now told me." Shu Wanyi sat down.
She couldn't even go out, and if she wanted to get any news, she could only hear it from the eunuch who brought her food every day.
"It is said that Fang Jinlan had a high fever and died from the crime."
Now it's snowing and the weather is so cold, if no one takes care of it.
Countless people froze to death in prison.
After hearing this, Zhou Linghai's expression finally relaxed.
"Her death is a good thing for us." After all, Fang Jinlan was the one who knew the secret, even if she was poisoned and mute and couldn't speak.
Dead people are the safest.
"It's certainly a good thing if she dies!" Shu Wanyi gritted her teeth and said fiercely.
But she died too easily.
Fang Shulan put her hand on her lower abdomen and said, "If she had died earlier, I wouldn't be in this situation today."
But after being grounded, she realized that something was wrong with her.
It started with drowsiness, followed by loss of appetite and occasional dry heaving.
At first she thought she was sick, but as her period continued to delay, she realized that she might be pregnant.
If it were the past, Fang Shulan would definitely be happy.
This is the child she has been waiting for for so long.
I have been looking forward to having a child for so many years, and now my wish has come true.
No matter who the child belongs to, she will definitely find a way to give birth to the child.
However, this child appeared at the wrong time.
Any time she had this child, she would have done everything in her power to keep her, but it happened to be when she was under house arrest.
I can’t even see His Majesty.
How could she be pregnant?
If anyone were to know that the child existed, she and the child would be killed without a burial place.
But this is her first child.
Fang Shulan placed her hand on her lower abdomen, but she was filled with hesitation.
This is her child.
Even if she had to use all possible means and risk her life, she would find a way to save it.
Zhou Linghai, who was standing at the side, noticed her change and was slightly puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Linghai looked at Shu Wanyi worriedly.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Linghai looked at her worriedly.
Fang Shulan quickly put down her hand that was on her lower abdomen.
"I'm fine." She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.
"I noticed that you have lost a lot of weight in the past few days." Zhou Linghai didn't notice.
He squatted down to clean up the ground, "Your breakfast is useless, you can't starve anymore."
"I left two cakes for you yesterday. I'll heat them up on the stove and give them to you later."
After Zhou Linghai cleaned up the floor, he got up to heat up some pastries for her.
Shu Wanyi stood behind him, looking at Zhou Linghai's back.
She must keep this child.
She didn't want Zhou Linhai to know, but without Zhou Linghai, no one could help her.
Thinking of this, Shu Wanyi stood up and walked behind Zhou Linghai.
Zhou Linghai is making hot cakes.
Without servants in Yikun Palace, he had to do everything by himself.
In the past, it was used to burn incense and burn the stove, but now it is used to heat food.
The weather was too cold, and the leftover pastries from yesterday were all oily. Zhou Linghai was turning the food over carefully, while the stove beside him was bubbling with steam.
Shu Wanyi stood behind him, watched for a long time, then suddenly took two steps forward and hugged him.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Linghai was startled. After realizing it, he immediately turned around.
"Are you hungry, or are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Linghai quickly put down the things in his hands and checked her body.
Seeing his worried look, Shu Wanyi felt a little regretful, but she still gritted her teeth when she thought of the baby in her belly.
"Ling Hai."
As soon as Fang Shulan opened her mouth, Zhou Linghai was shocked and fell to the ground.
She had never treated him like this since he entered the palace.
"What...what happened?" A hint of panic appeared on his face.
Fang Shulan took a deep breath and placed her palm on her belly: "I might be pregnant."
If she wanted this child, she had to get out as soon as possible.
But there was no one around her, so she had to ask Zhou Linghai for help.
"Child...child?" Zhou Linghai subconsciously lowered his head and looked in the direction of her palm.
"Are you pregnant?" He entered the palace just to make her pregnant.
But after so long, there has been no movement.
He thought it would never be completed.
Unexpectedly, she is really pregnant?
"Are you saying that? Is that true?" Zhou Linghai looked at her flat belly with a very excited look on his face.
This is her child, and also his.
After entering the palace, he had been looking forward to having a child.
But he thought of something and let it go again: "This child cannot stay."
Fang Shulan is still under house arrest. It is impossible for her to hide the truth and pretend that she is pregnant with Longzi as she did before.
If people knew about this, then this child would be a bastard.
Not to mention turning things around, once people find out, he and Fang Jinlan will probably be killed without a burial place.
"This child comes at the wrong time and cannot be kept!"
Zhou Linghai said with absolute certainty.
