Chapter 1055: He Lianhuang Asks for Xi Lin’s Whereabouts

He Lianhuang took another look at her and became even more anxious. He said, “Allow me to collect my thoughts before I tell you.”
A man had to take it upon himself to be responsible. He had unintentionally made Zhaoyang pregnant and she was a nation’s princess. How could he let her, a defenseless woman, face all the faceless ruinous public opinion alone when the matter was exposed?
As he thought about how Princess Zhaoyang’s frail body would be overwhelmed by the rumors because of him, he found it extremely difficult to bear. It was especially distressing.
He must not be so pathetic. He could not let her face the storm alone. She was in this predicament because of him. He had to assume a man’s responsibility, even if…
“Tianlan, is he good to you?” He Lianhuang looked up at Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan’s eyes crinkled with a happy smile and said, “Mobai is incredibly good to me. I will invite you for a toast during our wedding. Be sure to be generous with your gift when the time comes.”
Hearing her words, He Lianhuang only felt his heartstrings tightened. He was so uncomfortable that he found it hard to breathe. But soon his heartstrings relaxed and it gave him some breathing room. He smiled reluctantly and said, “That’s good. My gift will certainly be abundant.”
Feng Tianlan looked up at him without a word. She did not urge him, letting him think. She waited for him to speak again.
He Lianhuang was agitatedly scratching his neck again. He clenched his fists as if he had plucked up all his courage to be brave enough to say, “Tianlan, you and Zhaoyang are close. Then you must know where she went?”
“Sister Lin went on a trip,” Feng Tianlan replied, giving a vague answer.
“No, she must have told you what happened on the night of May 12th. She isn’t on a trip. She is….” In the face of Feng Tianlan’s bright eyes, He Lianhuang felt the courage he mustered suddenly deflate swiftly like a leather ball and it terrified him all of a sudden.
Feng Tianlan saw how he was reacting and frowned slightly. She said in a low voice, “Sister Lin really went away on a trip. Crown Prince Jin sent her off. Why are you looking for her?”
“Would you please tell me of a way to contact her?” As soon as He Lianhuang heard about the trip, he was anxious again and said, “I need her for an urgent matter.”
Zhaoyang was pregnant and should be more than four months along now. Her belly was already showing. Any later and the child would have been born. He must find her as soon as possible. She should not be alone during labor at least. As the father of the child, he should be by her side.
“There isn’t a way,” Feng Tianlan answered mildly. “You can go to Crown Prince Jin for any urgent matters. Perhaps he knows already.”
“No, he can’t know about this matter.” He Lianhuang was anxious, but he was unwilling to say it.
Feng Tianlan saw how he was behaving and thought he must have found out about Sister Lin’s pregnancy. But aside from Crown Prince Jin, Mobai, and herself, as well as her personal palace maid, Shen Yunya was also aware of this matter!
Was it a tip-off from Shen Yunya?
At the thought of this, a murderous glint flashed across Feng Tianlan’s gorgeous eyes. Shen Yunya was really determined not to give up. She was still scheming at this time. She remained active even in the cold palace.
“He Lianhuang , if you’re not in a hurry, I’ll have to attend to some matters first.” Feng Tianlan pretended to be oblivious and left it to He Lianhuang to bring it up at his own time.
As a matter of fact, she also did not know what to do. As a good friend, she really did not want to watch Sister Lin being pregnant and going through labor on her own and then bringing up a child all by herself. This would be too hard. If she could marry He Lianhuang, then that would be the best.
