During lunch the next day, Lin Long was indeed waiting for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi personally handed the priceless rainbow bead earrings back to Lin Long, bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Princess Ninth, for your kindness, but these pair of earrings are too precious, and I really don't dare to keep them any longer."

When Lin Long saw that Xiao Yi looked really bad and had sadness in her eyes, he naturally thought that she was in love with Zhuge Tunji, and the child in her belly was most likely to be named Zhuge. Lin Longping stepped back and pulled

He picked up Xiao Yi's hand and said, "You don't have to be polite to me. Since you are Zhuge's beloved, I will definitely help you with all my strength. In this White Jade Palace, I am the only person you can trust, and you are the only one I can trust."

people."

Although Xiao Yi knew that Lin Long helped Zhuge successfully escape from the White Jade Palace a few days ago, and that she and Zhuge had known each other since childhood in the Chu Kingdom, she did not know why Lin Long suddenly became so familiar with her. Xiao Yi

He said distantly: "I wonder if the Ninth Princess has encountered any trouble? Although you and I are both Zhuge's friends, we have never had anything to do with each other. There is no friendship, let alone trust."

Lin Long said: "I did encounter trouble. Although I have a way to solve it, after you entered the palace, I thought of a more comprehensive way. The trust between us does not need to be based on friendship."

Xiao Yi looked at her doubtfully.

Lin Long continued: "You have just entered the palace not long ago, and you don't know the sinister methods of Queen Mother Qiao and Beauty Qiao. The Qiao family has been the dominant family in Song Dynasty for two dynasties, and they will never allow the other children of King Song to compete with Beauty Qiao's son.

The throne. So, you and I, if we want to save the child's life, we must join forces." Xiao Yi was even more puzzled and didn't know how to answer. Lin Long sighed: "I have encountered bigger troubles than you. You

At least the King of Song and the Queen Mother know about the child in my unborn child. But I don’t want them to know about the child in my unborn child.”

Xiao Yi's sad eyes suddenly had a wave of emotion. "Why?"

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

Xiao Yi said in surprise: "Ninth Princess, you..." and then whispered: "Why don't we escape from here together? The King of Song has promised me to let Zhuge sneak into the imperial hospital, and he will come to the palace to visit me in a while. When the time comes,

,How about the three of us leave here together?"

Lin Long shook his head and said: "The last time you two were able to leave the White Jade Palace smoothly, it was because King Song did not stop him. This time, since King Song dared to let Zhuge enter the palace to visit you, he must be watching you very closely. Not only King Song's people

There must be someone on the Queen Mother's side who is keeping an eye on you. You are pregnant with the heir, so you can't escape."

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

Lin Long smiled bitterly: "I am a princess married to the Chu and Song Dynasties. If I could leave this place, I would not have come at all. It is impossible for me to leave here in my life. In addition to you and Zhuge, there are also my doctor and two maidservants in the world.

, no one knows the existence of the child in my belly."

Xiao Yi asked confusedly: "Your child...is it Zhuge's?"

Lin Long laughed loudly and joked in a low voice: "Your child is Zhuge's!" Xiao Yi didn't know there was something behind Lin Long's words. He thought she was just joking to refute him, so he stopped asking. But when Lin Long saw her, he didn't ask.

Not refuting it confirmed her original guess. At this time, it would be best for the two of them to form an alliance to tide over the difficulties. Lin Long said: "Since we can't escape from the White Jade Palace, why not come up with a good plan here today to protect both you and me?"

The child’s life.”

Xiao Yi nodded slightly: "Okay."

Lin Long said: "I'm afraid your attending physician is from the Queen Mother. Although Zhuge can sneak into the imperial hospital, he won't be able to protect your pregnancy and nurse him back to health. I know his medical skills, and he can only diagnose the happy pulse.

He alone cannot protect the child in your womb. I grew up in the court of Chu State and have heard a lot about the dirty tricks in the harem. With the current situation, the Queen Mother will definitely strangle the child in your womb.

, in order to ensure that Qiao Meiren’s son will inherit the throne and continue the Qiao family’s status in the Song Dynasty. If you want to keep the child, you must be extremely cautious. You can’t trust anyone in the Tai Hospital. The anti-fetal drugs they prescribed to you

, and don’t touch any food that the Queen Mother and Beauty Qiao bring to you.”

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

Lin Long said: "The doctor who nursed me back to health came with me from Chu State. She is the medical daughter in my mother-in-law's palace. My mother-in-law has saved her life, and she will never betray me. Now I have

If you ask for anything, she will never betray you. So you can rest assured that you leave the care of your baby to her."

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

"What I want is very simple. The children I give birth to will be counted as yours. In this way, no one will know that I gave birth to a child. Even the King of Song will not know. In these few months, I will turn this Jinxiu Garden into

Leng Gong. When the time comes, no one can disturb me."

Xiao Yi repeatedly felt that the nine princesses of the Chu Kingdom were really unlucky and would not stop dying. Women who were so trapped by love that they acted so willfully, I'm afraid they were the only two in the world. Xiao Yi said: "If you can hide the pregnancy in ten months,

, what’s the problem even if I pretend to have twins? I can help with this.”

Lin Long said: "Thank you, Princess Yi. There is one more thing. You can't hide like this in the palace. The more you close the door and thank guests, the more trouble will come. Your arrogance, their curiosity, the harem

It is impossible to live alone in a corner. Listen to my advice. You must go to the daily greetings and the monthly family banquet of the Queen Mother. You must be polite in front of them and neither humble nor arrogant. The more upright you are, the less likely others will find your faults.

.Don’t take anything they say in front of you or behind your back to heart. Raise your baby with peace of mind, your child is your best hope.”

Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Thank you for your advice. Maybe I shouldn't live like this. Being under house arrest will only bring greater humiliation to Qi State."

Lin Long said: "You and I don't have to get too close in the future, lest the Queen Mother and Qiao Jing become wary of you and me. Our relationship is distant or even bad, so they can relax their vigilance. Today you come and return my rainbow beads, and I can let you

Rumors spread among the maids around me that you are arrogant and don't appreciate my favor, and even look down on my method of using gifts to win people's hearts. I just hope you won't be angry when you hear such rumors."

Xiao Yi said: "Ninth Princess, I understand that such a plan is good for you and me. I don't know much about the world of people in the harem, and I hope you can give me more advice. But in order to make our alliance stronger, can you tell me that you

Secret? Otherwise, how do I know you are not using me? How can I completely trust you?"

Lin Long smiled lightly and said: "When I can completely trust you, I will tell you my secret. Don't worry, since I want to use you to cover up my child's life experience, I will not do anything detrimental to you.
