After Lu Jinshuang's explanation, Li Qi finally understood why Prince Jiang Qian hated her so much.
Concubine Lu was from the Queen Mother's side, and Lu Jinshuang entered the palace as Concubine Lu's niece and became the Crown Princess through the arrangement of the Queen Mother.
Now the news of the third prince's return has spread throughout Kyoto, and Jiang Qian is destined to break with the third prince.
So it's not surprising that she hates Lu Jinshuang.
Think about it, your wife was sent by someone else to monitor you, no one else would be able to bear it.
No wonder the prince has such a big opinion against Lu Jinshuang.
"Do you understand now?" Lu Jinshuang said calmly.
Li Qi sighed: "If that's the case, then why do you still stay in the palace?"
"Is it up to me?" Lu Jinshuang looked at him and said, "You already know everything about me. You have no choice at all about where I go."
Seeing her say this, Li Qi didn't know how to comfort her.
After all, it is useless to say more about this kind of thing that concerns our own nation.
"Even if he hates you, he won't do anything to you, right?" Li Qi said.
Lu Jinshuang sneered: "No, since I came to the East Palace, he has at best turned a blind eye to me."
"Then why did he hit you today?"
Lu Jinshuang raised her eyes and looked at Li Qi with a strange look in her eyes, which made Li Qi feel a little scared.
After a while, he said: "I'm pregnant..."
Just five words, hesitation struck Li Qi's mind like a lightning strike.
"Wha...what?" Li Qi looked at her in disbelief. After a while, he asked, "The child is..."
Lu Jinshuang didn't seem surprised at all and said, "What do you think?"
"Is it mine?" Li Qi was a little dumbfounded.
"I have never slept with anyone in the same bed, and you are the first one." Lu Jinshuang's cheeks were slightly red, but her eyes were extremely complicated.
Li Qi was completely stupid.
He had never thought about having children. Before time travel, let alone children, he had never even considered a girlfriend.
After all, conditions were difficult at that time, and he was full of ambitions. He felt that women would only affect his speed in drawing the sword.
I planned to wait until my career was successful before falling in love.
But who would have thought that he would actually travel through time.
Let’s not talk about time travel, but now I’ve actually made someone’s belly bigger. What should I do?
Li Qi, who faced this situation for the first time, was a little at a loss.
Glancing at Lu Jinshuang's belly, Li Qi asked again: "Are you really pregnant?"
"Don't worry, everyone now thinks that the child belongs to the prince. Even if he knows that the child is not his, he can only endure it." Lu Jinshuang said.
Li Qi was a little confused, and Lu Jinshuang continued: "For the sake of the royal family's face, this kind of thing can only be tolerated by him."
Li Qi finally understood. In other words, the prince wanted to be a father, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it.
Isn’t this too frustrating?
But think about it, if this matter is revealed, where will the prince's face be turned? Where will the royal family's face be turned?
None of this is important. What is important is that this woman Lu Jinshuang is actually pregnant with her own child?
Li Qi felt like he was about to suffocate. What should he do?
Seemingly sensing what Li Qi was thinking, Lu Jinshuang said: "Although this matter happened because of you, don't worry, no one knows who this child is except us."
"What are you going to do with the baby in your belly?" Li Qi asked.
Lu Jinshuang said calmly: "Of course I was born."
"Born?"
"Now that the Queen knows that I am pregnant, she will report it to the Emperor of Great Xia. By then, as long as the Emperor of Great Xia thinks that this child is his grandson, no one can refute it," Lu Jinshuang said.
Hearing this, Li Qi's heart felt complicated, as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
"I'm telling you these things today just because I hope you can fulfill your promise, find the "Shengshu" and give it to me," Lu Jinshuang said.
Li Qi didn't know why but an idea suddenly came to his mind. He really wanted to tell Lu Jinshuang, how about we run away and find someone with no place to live a good life and give birth to the child.
But he knew that this was simply unrealistic.
Lu Jinshuang would never agree.
Like a deflated balloon, Li Qi sat down on a chair nearby, feeling in a complicated mood.
I couldn't hold anything else in my heart, and even going to meet Bai Mengxuan was forgotten.
How could she be pregnant?
How come I have a child?
Li Qi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, but facing the facts, he had no choice but to accept it.
When Lu Jinshuang lay on the bed and fell asleep, she didn't care at all whether Li Qi was in the house.
Looking at the sleeping Lu Jinshuang, Li Qi just sat on a chair nearby and thought about life.
Early the next morning, after Li Qi left the palace, he became decadent.
He stayed in the mansion without going anywhere and announced that he was sick.
Lock yourself in your room every day.
Many people came to see him, but he avoided them.
Su Yingxiong couldn't figure out what was wrong with his brother Li. That day, he had some sumptuous meals prepared and brought them to Li Qi's room himself.
After entering, I saw Li Qi sitting in front of the table with disheveled hair, looking listless.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you these days?" Su Yingxiong asked as he put down his food.
Li Qi picked up the chopsticks, reluctantly took a few bites and then stopped eating.
"Brother Li? This food doesn't suit your taste?"
Li Qi looked at the fat man in front of him and hesitated to speak.
"Did something happen to Brother Li?"
Li Qi shook his head.
"What else does the prince want to send you to do?"
Li Qi shook his head again.
Su Yingxiong was a little helpless: "Then what happened?"
Li Qi looked at him, and after a while he said, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if you had a child one day?"
"Do I have a child?" Su Yingxiong was confused when he was asked, but he still thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "If I have a child... my father will definitely be very happy. Maybe I can come back by then."
Home."
Li Qi smiled bitterly.
Su Yingxiong immediately reacted: "Brother Li, is it possible that you have a child?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "It should be said that it is about to happen."
"Almost?" Su Yingxiong was a little confused, and after a moment he said, "Who is my sister-in-law?"
Li Qi looked at him and didn't know how to answer. Could it be that he told him that the princess was carrying his own child?
I'm afraid if this matter is revealed, this damn fat man will be petrified on the spot.
I have come to this era, and now I have made some progress, but I am really not mentally prepared at all for such magical creatures as children.
