The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

Chapter 142 She Lied

As soon as she returned to Prince Yi's Mansion, Sheng Nanzhi lay down on the couch.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt right now.

I feel a little sad, as if a piece of my heart has been hollowed out, leaving it empty.

Perhaps because she had never felt the warmth of family love in her previous life, she actually tried very hard to maintain a good relationship with Aunt Liu in this reborn life.

But things don't always go as planned.

It seems that the more you want something, the harder it is to get it.

She felt that she would probably never get family love.

"What's wrong?" Ever since Sheng Nanzhi came back, her abnormal behavior was very obvious, making Shi Huaizhi unable to control his attention: "What did Aunt Liu say to you?"

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyelids and looked at Shi Huaizhi, then fell silent.

As Aunt Liu said, she was very likely the true Phoenix Lord of Heaven, and this matter must never be told to anyone else.

Even Shi Huaizhi, her husband now, couldn't do that.

This identity will bring her no benefits except completely unpredictable disasters.

Shi Huaizhi was a prince, and he barely concealed his ambitions.

He wanted to seize that position.

This way, she couldn't say anything.

Moreover, if things are really as Concubine Liu said, then at least, Concubine Liu and Li Yueru both know the truth of the matter.

Neither of these two people was under her control.

Especially Li Yueru.

It's easy to deal with Concubine Liu. As long as she rescues Sheng Qingqian, Concubine Liu will not easily spread the matter.

After all, Aunt Liu has already seen that the identity of the Phoenix Lord of Heaven may bring not only benefits, but also disasters.

It may also implicate relatives.

But Li Yueru is different.

A large part of the reason for Sheng Yunrou's current situation is because she was known as the Phoenix Lord of Heaven. Therefore, she was fought over by the princes and finally taken into the palace by the emperor.

Therefore, Wen Tingyun also set his eyes on her, and even after Sheng Yunrou entered the palace, he was still trying to seduce her.

Once Li Yueru realizes what happened, she will most likely make it public.

By that time, whether she likes it or not, she will have to be involved in this power struggle.

She doesn't want to.

If she wanted to avoid all this from happening, there was only one way, and that was... to run.

She ran far away, hiding her identity so that no one could find her.

She can go find her master, or she can travel around like her master.

The money she had earned before and the connections she had built up were enough to keep her from being discovered.

Seeing Sheng Nanzhi's expression constantly changing, but she never spoke, Shi Huaizhi couldn't help but squint his eyes and guess: "Madam Liu said that the secret she holds is related to your life experience. Could it be that our previous guess was correct? You are not Sheng Lin's daughter? Or, you are not Madam Liu's daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Nanzhi couldn't help but raise her head and look at Shi Huaizhi. This was a good excuse to fool people.

"Ah."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "She did say that I am not Sheng Lin's daughter."

Sheng Nanzhi pressed his forehead: "She used this secret to threaten me, asking me to help her stay in the Imperial City and help her rescue Sheng Qingqian."

"I agreed."

She took a deep breath and said, "Being Sheng Lin's daughter isn't a very good identity. But at least, this identity has brought me some conveniences."

"For example, I'm at least qualified to marry you. If I weren't Sheng Lin's daughter, even if you and I had something going on, I certainly wouldn't be able to be your legal wife."

Shi Huaizhi's eyebrows moved slightly. What did Sheng Nanzhi mean by this?

What you mean is... being able to marry him is a good thing?

When he thought that Sheng Nanzhi was very likely to have meant this, Shi Huaizhi couldn't help but feel a deep joy in his heart.

"And you are now apparently unconscious."

"Although I bear the title of Princess Yi, because you are unconscious, sometimes, a title of Princess Yi, which is only in name only, may not be as useful as being Sheng Lin's daughter."

"..." Shi Huaizhi was silent.

Although the words were true, the four words "in name only" still stung him a little.

How come it is just a name without substance?

Isn't she carrying his child in her belly?

Shi Huaizhi lowered his eyes. It seemed that he had to find a way to end this messy power struggle as soon as possible.

Just wake up early and naturally.

If she remained unconscious for too long, not only would Sheng Nanzhi's status as Princess Yi be in name only, but someone would probably be setting their sights on his wife.

Shi Huaizhi thought about it and asked again: "What do you want? Keep Concubine Liu here?"

Sheng Nanzhi laughed and said, "It's very simple to keep Concubine Liu here."

"Just make Madam Liu's stomach ache and pretend she's having a miscarriage."

Shi Huaizhi frowned: "But I heard that Sheng Lin was angry with Concubine Liu because of Sheng Qingqian's matter. He may not care about the child in Concubine Liu's belly."

"Yeah." Sheng Nanzhi naturally knew: "Whether he cares or not has a premise."

"I can ask the doctor to tell Sheng Lin when he takes Madam Liu's pulse that the baby in Madam Liu's belly is most likely a boy."

"Sheng Nanzhi may not care about a daughter, but she will definitely care about a son."

"Although he has several children, he only has one son, Li Yueru."

"Sheng Lin treated him with great care. He was an only child, but because of his poor health, he was sent to Wuyun Mountain to recuperate at the age of six. He was given several teachers of literature and martial arts, and was well protected."

"Sheng Lin has always wanted to have more sons, but Li Yueru is very cunning, and Sheng Lin is not very motivated, so he has never been able to fulfill his wish."

"If he is sure that Concubine Liu is pregnant with a son, he will definitely protect her well and won't allow any mistakes."

"It's impossible for her to go to a place like Huaizhou again."

Shi Huaizhi's gaze fell on Sheng Nanzhi's face and he didn't speak for a long time.

Sheng Nanzhi felt a little strange: "What's wrong? Why is your Highness looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"No."

Shi Huaizhi laughed: "I just feel that the princess is really good at manipulating people's hearts."

"I usually solve problems in two ways: one is to arrest and torture them. The other is to kill them."

"But the princess and I are completely different."

"When the princess solves a problem, she will first analyze the other person's preferences. Whether it's an enemy or someone she likes, she will try to understand from their perspective what they are thinking, what they want, and what their intentions are. Many things can be solved smoothly without bloodshed."

Sheng Nanzhi tilted her head: "Is this not good?"

Shi Huaizhi shook his head and smiled: "Very good."

It suits him particularly well.
