At lunch the next day, Lin Long really waited for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi handed back the priceless rainbow bead earrings to Lin Long, saluted, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the ninth princess, but this pair of earrings is too precious, and I really don't dare to keep more." ”

Lin Long saw that Xiao Yi was really not looking good, and her eyes showed sadness, so she naturally thought that she was in love with Zhuge Escape, and the child in her womb was also surnamed Zhuge nine times out of ten. Lin Longping stepped back, took Xiao Yi's hand and said, "You don't have to be polite with me." Since you are Zhuge 's beloved, I will definitely do my best to help you. In this White Jade Palace, I am the only person you can trust, and you are also the only person I can trust. ”

Although Xiao Yi knew that Lin Long helped Zhuge take her out of the White Jade Palace a few days ago, and also knew that she and Zhuge had known each other since childhood in the Chu State, she didn't know why Lin Long suddenly became so familiar with her. Xiao Yi said distantly: "I wonder if the ninth princess has encountered any trouble?" Although you and I are both friends of Zhuge , you and I have never had anything to do with each other, and we can't talk about friendship, let alone trust. ”

Lin Long said: "I did run into trouble. Although I have a way to solve it, after you entered the palace, I thought of a more thoughtful way. Trust between us doesn't need to be based on friendship. ”

Xiao Yi looked at her suspiciously.

Lin Long continued: "You have just entered the palace, and you don't know the sinister methods of the Empress Dowager Qiao and Qiao Meiren. The Qiao family of the Song Kingdom has been dominant for two dynasties, and they will never allow the other children of the Song King to compete for the throne with Qiao Meiren's son. So, you and I, if we want to save the child's life, we must join forces. Xiao Yi was even more puzzled, not knowing how to answer. Lin Long sighed: "I'm in trouble that is bigger than yours. The child in your womb, at least the King Song and the Queen Mother know. And the child in my womb, I don't want them to know. ”

Xiao Yi's sad eyes suddenly had a hint of waves. "Why?"

Lin Long lowered his head and smiled: "Because my child is not King Song's." ”

Xiao Yi was surprised: "Ninth Princess, you ......" and then whispered: "Why don't we escape from here together?" The King of Song has promised me to let Zhuge enter the Tai Hospital, and he will come to visit me in the palace in a while. When the time comes, shall the three of us leave here together? ”

Lin Long shook his head and said, "The last time the two of you were able to leave the White Jade Palace smoothly, it was because King Song didn't stop it. This time, since King Song dares to let Zhuge enter the palace to visit you, he must look at you very closely. Not only are King Song's people staring at you, but there must also be people on the Queen Mother's side. Thou hast conceived an heir, and thou shalt not escape. ”

Xiao Yi said: "What about you? Do you want to leave? ”

Lin Long smiled bitterly: "I am the princess of the Chu and Song Dynasty marriages, if I could leave this place, I would not have come at all." There's no way I'll ever leave here. Now in the world, except for you and Zhuge and my doctor and two maidservants, no one knows the existence of the child in my womb. ”

Xiao Yi asked thoughtlessly, "Your child...... Could it be Zhuge ? ”

Lin Long laughed and joked in a low voice: "Your child is Zhuge 's!" Xiao Yi didn't know what Lin Long had to say, thinking that she was just using banter to refute herself, so she didn't ask anymore. And Lin Long saw that she didn't refute, which confirmed her original guess. At this time, it is best for the two to form an alliance to get through the difficulties. Lin Long said: "Since we can't escape from the White Jade Palace, it is better to plan a good plan here today to save the lives of your and my respective children." ”

Xiao Yi nodded slightly: "Okay." ”

Lin Long said: "Your chief physician is probably the Queen Mother's person." Although Zhuge can be mixed into the Tai Hospital, he will not have the ability to protect your fetus and recuperate. I know his medical skills, and I can diagnose the happy pulse. He alone will not be able to protect the child in your womb. I grew up in the court of Chu since I was a child, and I have heard a lot about the dirty methods of the harem. With the current situation, the Queen Mother must strangle the child in your womb in order to ensure that Qiao Meiren's son inherits the throne and continues Qiao's status in the Song Kingdom. If you want to keep your child, you have to be very careful. You can't trust any of the people in the hospital. The fetal medicine they prescribed to you, as well as any food that the Queen Mother and Qiao Meiren sent you, don't touch a bite. ”

Xiao Yi shook Lin Long's hand and said solemnly: "I believe in you." ”

Lin Long said: "The doctor who nursed me came from Chu State with me, she is the medical girl in my mother's palace, and my mother has a life-saving grace for her, and she will never betray me." Now that I have something to ask of you, she will never betray you. So you can rest assured that you can leave the care of the fetus to her. ”

"I wonder what the Ninth Princess wants from me?"

"What I'm asking for is simple. The child I have born is counted as yours. As a result, no one knew that I had a baby. King Song won't know either. In the next few months, I will turn this splendid garden into a cold palace. When the time comes, no one will be able to disturb me. ”

Xiao Yi felt again and again that the nine princesses of Chu were really speechless, and they were endless. Trapped by love, such a willful woman, I'm afraid there are only two of them in this world. Xiao Yi said: "If you can hide the day of pregnancy in October, why is it difficult for me to pretend to give birth to twins?" I can help. ”

Lin Long said, "Thank you, Princess Yi." One more thing. You are in the palace, you can't hide like this anymore. The more you close your door, the more trouble will come to you. Your arrogance, their curiosity, in the harem, it is impossible to live alone. Listen to my advice, the daily invitation to An and the Queen Mother's monthly family banquet must go, and you must be courteous in front of them, neither humble nor arrogant. The more upright you are, the more others will not find fault with you. Don't take anything they say in front of you or behind your back. Raising the fetus with peace of mind, the child is the greatest hope. ”

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for the suggestion, maybe I really shouldn't live like this." This kind of me, like house arrest, will only bring greater humiliation to Qi Guo. ”

Lin Long said: "You and I don't have to get too close in the future, lest the Queen Mother and Qiao Jing be wary of you and me." We have a distant or even bad relationship so that they can let their guard down. If you come and return my rainbow beads today, I can let the maidservants around me spread the word that you are arrogant and do not accept my affection, and even look down on my means of buying people's hearts with gifts. I hope you don't get angry when you hear such rumors. ”

Xiao Yi said: "Ninth Princess, I understand that such a plan is beneficial to you and me, I don't know much about the people in the harem, and I hope you can give me more advice." But to strengthen your alliance with me, can you tell me your secret? Otherwise, how do I know you're not taking advantage of me? How can I trust you completely? ”

Lin Long smiled indifferently and said, "When I can fully trust you, I will tell you my secret." Don't worry, since I want to use you to cover up my child's background, I will definitely not do anything unfavorable to you. As for trust, neither the State of Qi nor the State of Chu have ever trusted each other, and there is no need for you and me to be entangled in this. ”
