I insist

Chapter 443: Pregnancy

"That's ambitious. It seems you've agreed to my request."

The Seventh Prince looked at Liuli, a smile on his lips, and said softly.

Liuli nodded: "Yes, I agree. I also hope that the Seventh Prince will keep his word, save my life, and let me get out of here."

"Of course, we are now in a cooperative relationship, so I will naturally protect your life, let you get out of here, or ensure that you remain favored."

The Seventh Prince said with a smile.

Liuli smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for the Seventh Prince's good news. You must keep your word."

The Seventh Prince raised an eyebrow: "You just wait and see, and don't complain or blame others, or I'll regret having you as a business partner."

"Don't worry, I'm fully awake now and I won't let those people laugh at me anymore."

Liuli looked at the Seventh Prince with great confidence.

The Seventh Prince carefully examined Liuli and, seeing that she seemed to have truly awakened, he was relieved.

He took a pill from his pocket and handed it to Liuli.

"Eat it."

"poison?"

Liuli stepped forward and took the pills from the Seventh Prince, asking in confusion.

The Seventh Prince did not answer Liuli's question, but instead said softly, "You can also choose not to eat."

Liuli glanced at the Seventh Prince. Regardless of whether the pill was poison or not, she was going to take it. In the Seventh Prince's eyes, this was a sign of sincerity.

See if she truly wants to cooperate with him, or see if you might develop feelings for him.

The pill the Seventh Prince gave her was completely unnecessary. Ever since she heard those words from him, she had already figured it out and wouldn't harbor any disloyalty.

Without any hesitation, Liuli swallowed the pill and then looked at the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince looked at Liuli with some surprise. He thought she would struggle no matter what, but she ate it just like that, and she was really not afraid.

"You've got guts. It seems my plan should go smoothly. Get ready, and you'll be going out in a few days, all in style."

After saying this, the Seventh Prince left quietly, just like before.

Liuli frowned, pondering the meaning behind the Seventh Prince's words, but she didn't dwell on it; she just wanted to get out.

Only in this way can we seek revenge on Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin.

Liuli looked around her palace. Before, because of her despondency, everything here was in a mess, and she thought she had been abandoned.

But now that she's sober, and thinking about it carefully, she realizes that the Emperor didn't kill her or imprison her; perhaps he still has some compassion for her.

Perhaps she could use her compassion to win back the emperor's favor.

After figuring things out, Liuli began tidying up her palace, cleaning every corner meticulously, and even changing into beautiful clothes.

The palace was much brighter at this point, and it looked like a completely different place compared to before.

Liuli was quite satisfied with her current situation.

Meanwhile, Yu Huailin remained hidden in the shadows, and he also discovered the matter of Liuli and the Seventh Prince's cooperation.

Yu Huailin sneered. In fact, he had long guessed that the Seventh Prince was not simple. He did not intend to expose him and was going to let Liuli go this time anyway. This was a perfect excuse.

He gave Liuli, who was dressed up, a cold look, and then left quietly, wanting to see what the Seventh Prince and Liuli would do.

"Your subject greets Your Majesty," the seventh prince said, kneeling on the ground and bowing to the emperor.

The Emperor looked at the Seventh Prince kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Get up. Didn't I send you to investigate corruption?"

Why are you here instead of doing your work? Aren't you afraid of being outdone by your brothers?"

The Seventh Prince slowly stood up, smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said, "Your subject is of dull and foolish talent, and knows that I do not have the ability, so I will not participate in this matter."

Your Majesty, I believe my brothers can handle this matter well and share your burdens.

The emperor glanced at him, unsure whether he believed him or not.

"Then what brings you here to me?"

"Your subject came to the palace to see Father Emperor. His fainting and vomiting blood had already worried us, but I wanted to ease his burdens..."

"I've been dealing with corruption cases and haven't had time to come. Now that I finally have some time, I'm going to the palace to see my father."

The seventh prince looked up at the emperor and saw that his face was rosy, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His actions were all observed by the Emperor, and regardless of whether they were genuine or feigned, the Emperor felt quite pleased upon hearing these words.

"You've put your mind to this. Since your other brothers have all taken care of the embezzlement, you naturally can't fall behind, even if you're not naturally gifted."

You also need to temper yourself. You are a prince, and you have your own responsibilities, understand?

The Emperor looked at the Seventh Prince, perhaps because of what he had just said, which was why he had allowed the Seventh Prince to say a few more words.

"Your subject will remember your teachings, Father," the Seventh Prince said earnestly to the Emperor.

The Emperor nodded slightly and waved his hand, dismissing him.

However, the Seventh Prince hesitated on the surface, opening his mouth but then fearing the Emperor's reaction, so he didn't speak, though his eyes betrayed a struggle.

"If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hesitate like this."

Upon seeing the Seventh Prince's demeanor, the Emperor frowned slightly and spoke directly.

After hearing the Emperor's words, the Seventh Prince finally mustered his courage and said, "Your Majesty, when I first entered the palace, I overheard the palace maids talking about something..."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I didn't inquire on purpose; I overheard it by chance. It's said that Consort Jieyu has gone mad."

"Has Consort Jieyu gone mad?" The Emperor frowned slightly, momentarily unable to recall who Consort Jieyu was.

The Seventh Prince naturally knew that the Emperor might not remember which Consort was which, so he deliberately reminded him, "From what they've said, she's been locked up in the palace by Father Emperor."

That's why he went mad. Before, he was shouting that he wanted to see his father, and yesterday he suddenly yelled and then cleaned the entire palace.

A person sat on the edge of the bed, remaining there, which frightened the others.

After hearing the Seventh Prince's words, the Emperor remembered that Liuli was still locked in the palace, and that she might have gone mad by now.

"So what do you want to achieve by bringing this up?"

The Emperor looked at the Seventh Prince, knowing he wouldn't bring this up without a reason.

"Father, if Consort Jieyu has truly gone mad, she should be sent to a secluded palace. I've heard that mad people can harm others. Father is in the palace..."

There were also pregnant concubines and other concubines; it would be terrible if they were harmed. If she fell ill, the imperial physician would be summoned to treat her.

In any case, we must not let her harm the Emperor or anyone else, and we must not allow anyone to disturb her.
