After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

In the past few days, Zhuang Sheng has been sneaking around to find Yun Duo and has long forgotten about Shen Ran's matter.

Especially in the past few days, he suddenly realized that even if he became the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he might not be able to gain any benefits, and the thoughts in his heart suddenly calmed down.

However, Yun Duo, who he was waiting for here, never showed up. When he was about to leave, he turned around and met Shen Ran.

Zhuang Sheng was shocked.

Shen Ran was also surprised, but when she thought about how they had not seen each other for a long time, she subconsciously ignored all the differences and ran to Zhuang Sheng, looking at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Shen Ran's joyful expression, Zhuang Sheng didn't want to coax her anymore, but when he thought of the rumors that had been spread to everyone recently, he endured it and looked at her and said, "We are in tune with each other. Do you understand?"

After being surprised, Shen Ran was filled with joy. Zhuang Sheng knew that she would appear here and came to wait for him. The two of them were the most predestined couple in the world.

Thinking of this, Shen Ran became so excited that he was willing to take the initiative to touch Zhuang Sheng's hand. Before this, they had never done anything inappropriate.

Zhuang Sheng felt numb all over as she touched him, and his mind was filled with the desire to press her under him, but he didn't dare to do so now and could only think about it.

"I know what you're thinking, but it won't work under the current circumstances."

Shen Ran lowered his head shyly.

It was her action that made Zhuang Sheng suddenly see a figure flashing behind them. He didn't see clearly who it was, but he was panicked and quickly asked her to follow him to talk in another place.

"It's not safe here."

"Come with me."

He just kept walking along the path, not noticing Shen Ran was following him, or whether he caught up with him.

The figure just now was Yun Duo who came hurriedly. She saw the intimacy between the two of them, but she still had a glimmer of fantasy in her heart and she didn't want to admit it.

But her hands were placed in a bush full of thorns, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Zhuang Sheng, how can you betray my true feelings?

Yun Duo fell to the ground and vomited blood.

She didn't expect that someone like him would actually lie to her, even though he was more sincere than anyone else when he said sweet words to her.

Why is that? Is it because I am not good enough?

Is it because I'm not good enough to him?

She couldn't figure it out.

He fainted on the ground all of a sudden.

······

Yun Duo didn't know when she woke up, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Liuyun's concerned eyes and Miss Lin sitting next to her.

Before her brain could react, she heard Lin Xi say, "You're pregnant."

Lin Xi had never thought that she would be pregnant with Zhuang Sheng's child. This matter might be tricky. When she thought about what was going to happen next, she couldn't help but frowned and looked at her and said softly, "What do you want to do? Do you want this child?"

Yun Duo put her hand on her lower abdomen. For some reason, she suddenly felt a hazy feeling coming from inside her flat abdomen. She couldn't describe this feeling, but she felt that she couldn't bear to give up the baby in her belly.

Her tears could not stop flowing down, she looked at Lin Xi with sobs and asked, "Miss Lin, since you know about this, can you help me?"

Seeing this, Liuyun immediately wanted to refuse on behalf of Lin Xi. After all, this was not a good thing. A pregnant palace maid was a huge trouble. It would be fine if the higher-ups did not punish her. But if they did, a group of people would die.

This is the "dirty water" coming out of the palace. How can we solve this problem completely?

If Miss Lin were allowed to get involved rashly, I'm afraid she would be implicated as well.

Liuyun would never do this. She had been in the palace for so many years and had never met such a good master. She always felt that good people should be rewarded.

"No, why would Miss Lin help you with this matter?"

Liuyun said this without hesitation.

After that, she turned around and knelt in front of Lin Xi, looking sad, and said, "Miss Lin, this matter has nothing to do with you, so you better not get involved. You don't know who is human and who is a ghost in this palace. If someone wants to take advantage of you at this time, even the Lin Mansion behind you will be implicated. You must not do that."

Hearing her say this, Lin Xi's expression did not change at all. She looked straight at Yun Duo and said mercilessly, "If you want this child, you will never be able to marry in this life. I'm afraid that after giving birth to the child, you will have to hand it over to the Zhuang family. You can only be a stranger to this child in this life. If you don't want this child, we will secretly abort him and won't let others know."

"I, I, I..." Yun Duo hesitated for a long time. She was speechless. How could she choose such a choice?

"It's not all your fault. Your fault is that you don't know people well. The real fault lies with that man." Lin Xi persuaded her calmly. Her eyes softened and her voice became softer. She said faintly, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation. But, you know, you are not his first, nor his last."

As she spoke, Liuyun brought in an older palace maid from outside. When she saw Yunduo's pale and mournful face, she burst into tears, "That man is out to harm people again."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and kept wiping away her tears. When she saw Liuyun, she felt like she was seeing her past.

Lin Xi pursed her lips and said nothing. In this world, when men make mistakes, it is women who suffer in the end. Women already have a hard life, and now faced with such a situation, if Yun Duo cannot handle it well, she will die.

"I'm not trying to persuade you, but I want you to listen to her." Lin Xi pointed at the palace maid who was standing there crying.

"I'm the food delivery person in the imperial kitchen. The person who lied to you was Zhuang Sheng, wasn't he?" She walked to Yun Duo's bed, held her hand tightly, and said, "Don't give birth to his child. It's not worth it, really."

"Did he pick up something from you and then give it back to you? Did he start to show concern for you and let you down?"

After hearing what she said, Yun Duo's heart died, but she still asked with a glimmer of expectation: "Are you also..."

Have a child?

She didn't finish the question, but I could tell everything from her eyes.

So, what should she do now?

"Don't believe anything he says. He has no wife, but he has several concubines. He even bought a skinny horse from Yangzhou to keep at home. He has always been a playboy and is not worthy of our sincerity."

"That child, I... I have buried him. I can't take care of him. That person's family already has several children. If my child is born, he will be ignored wherever he goes. If he follows me outside, he will only be looked down upon. Why should I give birth to him and let him suffer with me?"

"Sister, let me call you sister! You can't keep this child. If you keep it, he will have to be carried by that scumbag for the rest of his life. If you marry this child into her family, he will have to be a neglected child. Are you willing?"

"You want to be his concubine, fighting with a bunch of other concubines and his mistresses? In the end, you will die of old age in the backyard, and even your children will have a hard time. Do you really want to live like this?"

Yun Duo's expression was obviously hesitant, and more importantly, he didn't care about her at all.

"let me see."

"Don't even think about it. He won't feel any heartache because of your injury." She took off her outer clothes one by one, revealing a bowl-sized scar on her belly. The scar had become nodules and left a dark blue mark. She gritted her teeth and said with hatred in her eyes, "He didn't want my child and forced me to dig it out. I was lucky enough to survive."

"I hate him, but I can't do anything about it. I just never thought that he would be so bold that he would even dare to attack the maids in the harem. Do you really still want to believe that he is sincere to you?"

Yun Duo suddenly thought of Zhuang Sheng's deception of her and that he was still deceiving other women. Hatred welled up in her heart. When her fingertips touched her uneven belly, the hatred became even more obvious.

She knew that under the current circumstances, "I will not abandon my own child, but I will not let him have an easy life either. He has made my child and I live in humiliation for the rest of our lives, and I will also let him live in humiliation for the rest of his life."

······

······

Shen Qingran was naturally aware of the rumors circulating outside, but she did not expect that the prince would actually ask her to go to the East Palace and wear such unobtrusive clothes.

She suddenly started to worry whether such a message might be too aggressive.

However, Shen Qingran did not expect to meet Ruan Liuying on the road. She bowed to her and said, "Princess Ruan."

Ruan Liuying was very dissatisfied. What was the difference between her and Shen Qingran? That the prince could only look at her but not her.

So, she asked her servants to monitor Shen Qingran, and when she saw her going out, she brought people to block her in the corridor. There were many people inside, but Ruan Liuying didn't look afraid.

She asked in a commanding manner, "Are you going to see the prince?"

Shen Qingran nodded and said softly: "The prince summoned me, so I must see him."

When she saw Ruan Liuying appear here, she knew that this trick had worked. However, what happened next forced her to use Zhuang Sheng as a chess piece as soon as possible.

"No, you can't go." Ruan Liuying spoke in a domineering manner, with contempt in her eyes, "You want to see the prince? You can't."

Although the servant who came with Ruan Liuying was brave, she was also worried. What's more, Nanny Qin Yue, who was always able to persuade her, was not here. She was full of worries, but now she didn't know how to persuade this little ancestor.

"Princess, it was the Crown Prince who summoned Miss Shen after all. I'm afraid he has something to tell me. If we stop him here, it might make the Crown Prince angry." A courageous palace maid spoke up.

But Ruan Liuying didn't care what she said and pushed him away: "What did you say? I just wanted Miss Shen to talk to me for a while. Besides, the prince can just find someone to refuse."

"Just say that Miss Shen is sick and disabled, that's all."

Shen Qingran understood that Ruan Liuying was extremely jealous and now she was unwilling to let her meet the prince.

Under the current circumstances, she must protect her own safety first.

"Princess Ruan, since he is the prince, I have to go and see him anyway before I can come back and talk to you."

Shen Qingran smiled with her lips but not her heart, and there was no trace of timidity on her face. Even when there was a group of people standing in front of her, she always knew when to move forward and backward.

When Ruan Liuying saw her like this, she was filled with anger. If she couldn't get the favor of the prince, she would go home and get married hastily, or marry the ninth prince.

However, she did not want to marry the Ninth Prince. Her cousin had that kind of personality, how could he possibly compare to the Crown Prince?

"I am a princess appointed by His Majesty. I am one level older than you. Now you can only listen to me. Do you understand?" Ruan Liuying said.

"Princess, you are the princess, but I entered the palace at the invitation of the eldest princess, and now I am summoned by the prince, and there is no other reason. Why do you have to block my way?" Shen Qingran spoke calmly.

But Ruan Liuying walked up to her and started to struggle with her. Seeing this, the maid beside Shen Qingran hurriedly stood in front of her to protect her, and Ruan Liuying scratched her face with several bloody marks.

And she pretended to fall to the ground again, crying and pointing at Shen Qingran, saying: "How could you push me? I just wanted to talk to you for a while."

You only want to talk to her when the prince summons you?

Shen Qingran suddenly felt that her method of framing people was not very clever, and looked at her coldly: "Princess, what are you acting now?"

Ruan Liuying had already made up her mind not to let her go to see the prince today, and now she is just delaying time.

"What are you doing?"

A cold voice was heard, and all the palace maids knelt on the ground.

The owner of this voice was extremely oppressive. As soon as he walked over here, everyone consciously made way for him.

Zhao Fengshi ignored Ruan Liuying who was still pretending to fall on the ground, and walked straight to Shen Qingran. Seeing her appearance, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Liuying spoke up again and again, "Prince, I don't know why Miss Shen pushed me just now, I didn't provoke her."

Shen Qingran didn't say a word, Zhao Fengshi turned around and looked at her coldly, "Who are you?"

This sentence left everyone dumbfounded.

Ruan Liuying has been trying to show off her presence in front of the prince these days, but she didn't expect that he had no impression of her at all.

"Prince, what are you talking about?"

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, the maid beside her quickly replied, "To answer the Crown Prince, this is Princess Ruan, the niece of Concubine Ruan."

"Oh."

Zhao Fengshi replied indifferently, then turned to look at Shen Qingran and asked, "Are you okay?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the shocking red marks on the maid following behind her, "What? Did she bully you?"
