Chapter 98 She Turned into a Blessing in Disguise
Lin Mowan stood aside, looking at the unconscious Gongshu Tingyue, her eyes were full of indifference, but her face remained pitifully expressionless.

Gongshu Yanyu also felt helpless. Perhaps he had indulged his cousin too much, which made her lawless. But blood is thicker than water after all. As long as she didn't go too far, Gongshu Yanyu was willing to cover for her.

But what happened today will indeed make Jiang Wenqing lose face, which is equivalent to showing the shrewish side of Gongshu Tingyue in front of everyone.

You should know that all those who came to today's Zhuxia Banquet were the important people of Sheng'an. The fact that Lin Mowan, the adopted daughter, was sent back to Zither Garden was quite controversial a while ago. Now that Gongshu Tingyue has made such a fuss, she will probably never be able to wash off the accusation of being a shrew and jealous.

However, this is exactly what Lin Mowan wanted. It is far from enough to just make everyone suspicious. What she wants to do is to let everyone see how Gongshu Tingyue suspected, abused, slandered and abused her.

In this way, when some dirty things are really brought to light one day, public opinion will be on her side. Even Gongshu Yanyu does not want to lose the support of the people.

Normally, as an emperor, it would be easy for him to protect his sister, just like the death of her mother. But when this matter concerns his position, would he still make an enemy of the whole world for Gongshu Tingyue?
The answer is naturally self-evident.

Soon, Gongshu Tingyue was carried to the side room, and the imperial physician was invited to treat him. Not long after, Jiang Wenqing, who had left the table to handle government affairs, came back and heard about this. He was so angry that his face turned pale.

Gongshu Tingyue was carried to the side room and treated by the accompanying imperial physician. Naturally, Lin Mowan had to go as well. Gongshu Yanyu, Gongshu Beicheng, Shen Weiyuan and a group of people who came to watch the fun also went there, but they just waited in the hall.

Lin Mowan sat aside, Yuzhi brought a boiled egg to apply on her face, Jiang Wenqing sat aside with a very unhappy look on his face. Almost all the people in the palace and the Jiang family were sent to look for Jiang Youan, and many even felt sorry for the child and spontaneously asked their followers to go with them.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was quite solemn. Everyone sat there properly, not daring to make a sound.

Soon, the imperial physician came out of the room. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gongshu Yanyu. Gongshu Yanyu hurriedly exempted him from the ceremony and asked hurriedly, "How is she?"

Imperial Physician Chen said quickly, "Your Majesty, Madam Jiang is fine. She is three months pregnant."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene looked at each other with different expressions. Xiao Sheng was the first to react: "Congratulations, Lord Jiang." Even if it is just superficial work, it must be done well first.

His words seemed to have completely resolved everyone's embarrassment, and they hurriedly congratulated everyone. Of course, this news also gave Gongshu Yanyu a brief sigh of relief.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became relaxed, except for Lin Mowan, who was sitting in the corner, staring at the direction of the room with cold eyes, like a poisonous snake that could strangle someone to death at any time.

Upon hearing the news that Gongshu Tingyue was pregnant, Lin Mowan's original sense of satisfaction was gradually blocked by something, and she felt a little depressed in an instant.

But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s not certain whether the child can be born safely.

"Is the girl okay?"

At this moment, a gentle voice brought her thoughts back. Lin Mowan looked back and saw a handkerchief embroidered with a lotus pattern handed to her.

Following the handkerchief, she saw that it was Gongshu Beicheng. When their eyes met, his gentle gaze seemed to be able to cut through the ice and snow in the cold winter. Lin Mowan felt a warmth rising in her heart. She looked at him and was a little absent-minded for a moment, but Gongshu Beicheng didn't mind. He just smiled at her gently and said, "I think the wound on your face is quite serious. Let's ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you. Does it still hurt?"

Listening to his words, Lin Mowan's thoughts were pulled back for the second time. She lowered her eyelids quickly, with a little panic in her eyes. Thinking of her previous fragmented memories, she suddenly felt a little at a loss, but she still suppressed her emotions and took the handkerchief in his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness, I'm fine now."

Hearing her say this, Gongshu Beicheng nodded as if relieved, muttering: "It's good that you're okay."

He turned and left, as if he really just wanted to give her a handkerchief, but looking at the handkerchief in his hand, he turned around to look at the women who came in one after another to care about Gongshu Tingyue, and the men who gathered in twos and threes to laugh and drink.

She turned around and watched the back of Gongshu Beicheng walking out of the hall. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and got up to follow him. When she walked out of the hall, she called him, "Your Highness, please stay."

Gongshu Beicheng paused, as if thinking for a moment, before turning back to look at Lin Mowan. Lin Mowan stepped forward, adjusted her attitude a little, and asked him: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, have we met before?"

After hearing this, Gongshu Beicheng was stunned. His expression did not seem like he did not understand Lin Mowan's question, but more like he did not know how to answer Lin Mowan. This made Lin Mowan feel more and more that they must know each other.

After a long while, he chuckled at himself, as if he was a little helpless. He looked at her with sincere and serious eyes: "What do you think, Miss Lin?"

"..."

Lin Mowan remained silent and did not reply. To be precise, she did not know how to answer him.

Should she tell him about her amnesia?

No, of course we can't be so careless.

Lin Mowan knew very well that the people here knew how to manipulate people's hearts better than she did. She was indeed eager to know whether the other party had any relationship with her, but without being completely sure, she certainly couldn't tell him everything.

Finally, she shook her head and forced a smile: "I just think that Your Highness looks a bit like an old friend of mine."

As she spoke, Gongshu Beicheng did not say anything. He just looked at her for a long time with complicated and deep eyes. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, as if lamenting the fate, shook his head, and left.

Lin Mowan just stood there, watching his figure gradually walk away. She suppressed the urge to chase him and silently clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

But when she turned around, she was unexpectedly bumped into a sinister gaze. It was none other than Shen Weiyuan. Lin Mowan's heart sank, and her sad thoughts came to an abrupt end. She just stood there staring at him in a daze.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time. In the end, Shen Weiyuan still didn't come over, but his dim eyes fell on her as if warning her, as if he was dissatisfied with her being so close to Gongshu Beicheng.
