Chapter 497 Their respective little 99
"In short, this child is mine and has nothing to do with Li Hongting."
Li Hongyu smiled: "Concubine, you dare to say anything to avoid responsibility."
"What I said is true, you can believe it or not."
Li Hongyu came to Lu Shian with a smile and said, "However, it's not that I can't help the concubine."
Lu Shian was startled: "Are you willing to let me go?"
"certainly!!!"
Li Hongyu's gaze shifted from Lu Shian to Li Hongting.
"Don't be afraid, concubine. As long as you are willing, this prince will never hurt you."
Looking at Li Hongyu's half-smile, Lu Shian knew that he had bad intentions, but she had no choice now. She couldn't be locked up no matter what.
"Come here, send the concubine to the king first."
Li Hongting didn't say a word the whole time. He just looked at Lu Shian quietly. No one knew what he was thinking.
After Lu Shian was escorted away by others, Li Hongyu came to Li Hongting.
"Your Highness, how do you feel?"
"Ah, sorry, you are no longer the prince."
"Isn't it hard to see the woman you love most abandon you like this?"
Li Hongting still couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy. He just glanced at Li Hongyu coldly and then looked away.
Seeing Li Hongting's attitude, Li Hongyu was not angry.
He smiled faintly and said, "Please, Second Prince."
After Li Hongting and others left, the Imperial Guards came over to report to Li Hongyu.
"Your Highness, we have not found any trace of Cheng An and Yong Chang."
Li Hongyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "They are running fast, but it doesn't matter. Li Hongting is in my hands. They are nothing to be afraid of."
In the prison, Li Hongting sat down against the wall, with the window directly opposite him. Today was the second day of the Chinese New Year, there was no moonlight, and the cell was even darker.
Qin Jingzhi was imprisoned next to Li Hongting.
Seeing Li Hongting silent like this, Qin Jingzhi felt very uncomfortable.
She wanted to comfort Li Hongting, but she didn't know how to address him.
Call Prince?
It seems that it is no longer appropriate to call it that now.
Second prince?
I’m afraid Li Hongting wouldn’t feel good after hearing this name.
She paused for a moment and called out, "Hong Ting."
This was the first time she called Li Hongting's name. Li Hongting turned and looked at Qin Jingzhi.
Qin Jingzhi smiled at him, but then thought that it didn't seem funny here, so he stopped smiling.
"No matter what, I will be with you."
Li Hongting was very pleased to hear this, but he did not say anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked towards the dark window.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Jin'er was very angry.
"Concubine Lu is so abominable. The Crown Prince dotes on her the most, but when something happens to the Crown Prince, she runs away the fastest and says so many nasty things."
Qin Jingzhi glared at her unhappily: "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense."
"Miss, is what I said wrong? Look at her expression just now. She was afraid that Prince Duan would put her in jail. She said all kinds of slanderous words, even about the child in her belly..."
"Jin'er!"
Qin Jingzhi interrupted Jin'er angrily, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will sell you out right now."
Jin'er was unconvinced and kept pouting, but she finally stopped talking.
She didn't feel relieved until Lu Shi'an entered Prince Duan's Mansion.
"It's not all in vain."
As soon as she entered the room, Lu'er quickly closed the door.
"Miss, what should we do next?"
Lu Shian sat down, holding her stomach. She felt her mouth was dry and she picked up the kettle on the table and found it was empty.
Seeing this, Lu'er turned around, opened the door and wanted to go out for some water, but she didn't expect that there was someone guarding the door. When he saw the person inside was about to come out, he immediately drew his weapon and forced Lu'er back.
Lu Shian frowned and shouted unhappily: "Water, hurry up and bring me some water."
The guard outside the door winked at the maid serving on the side, and the maid quickly brought a pot of tea.
The tea came, but Lu Shian didn't dare to drink it.
The emperor has been poisoned, how could she possibly drink water in Prince Duan's mansion?
But she was really thirsty. Pregnancy had reduced her tolerance. If she couldn't drink water in time, she would become very irritable.
The water came, but Lu Shian refused to drink it, which stunned Lu'er.
"Miss."
Lu Shian made a gesture to keep quiet: "Lu'er, can I trust you?"
Lu'er nodded.
Lu Shian then took out a water gourd from his sleeve, opened the lid and started drinking.
Her action stunned Lu'er. She had been serving Lu Shi'an for so long, but she had never seen such a water hyacinth on her body. But Lu Shi'an actually took it out out of thin air...
She really wanted to ask where the water hyacinth was hidden.
But then she remembered what Shen Cuo had told her: "No matter what you see around her, you must stay calm, don't ask, and don't be curious."
It seems that Shen Cuo knows something.
After drinking the water, Lu Shian wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled at Lu'er.
"I don't trust Li Hongyu, and I don't trust the things he sends me."
"What is your plan, young lady?"
Lu'er asked the same question again.
"Find a way to find Nanxing first."
God bless you, Nanxing, you must stay in Prince Duan’s Mansion.
Lu Er glanced at the closed door. Not to mention that there were guards at the door, the Prince Duan's Mansion was now heavily guarded. It would be extremely difficult to investigate anything here. "I'm afraid this is not easy to do."
Lu Shian already had a solution in mind, but she was more concerned about another question at the moment: “Did you see Shen Cuo just now?”
Lu'er shook her head. She had just looked around the crowd and indeed did not see Shen Cuo.
Lu Shian nodded: "I didn't see Chengan and Yongchang either."
"Hopefully they'll come find me if they know I'm here."
Ye Lian'er was almost furious when she learned that Lu Shi'an was taken back to Prince Duan's Mansion by Li Hongyu.
"Why did the prince take her back? Shouldn't she be imprisoned in the prison with the prince?"
Ye Hai also had a look of resentment on his face: "That cowardly woman, she couldn't wait to distance herself from the prince as soon as he was demoted."
Ye Hai slammed his fist on the table: "No, I'm going to remind the prince that this woman is not a good person."
"Brother, I'll go with you."
The two men suppressed their anger and walked quickly towards Li Hongyu's study.
Although the two of them were suppressing their anger, anyone who was not blind could see it.
