Shi Li's heart beat faster, and she was secretly annoyed at Zhi Yan's boldness, but she had to comfort the little princess so that she wouldn't worry.

"Princess, next time you go to the koi pond, remember to bring more people with you. Your body is precious, and you must not let His Majesty and His Majesty worry."

The little princess came back to her senses, glanced at Shi Li, then nodded silently.

In Zhiyan's palace, from herself to every palace servant, no one said or hinted that her falling into the water had anything to do with the little princess.

But the more this happened, the more suspicious the king became.

Originally, Madam Yu appeared here to show her concern for Zhiyan and to win the favor of the king. But now, in the eyes of the king, her appearance has become a hidden purpose.

"Let Zi Yan have a good rest and don't disturb her." The king didn't even let Madam Yu go in to take a look, and directly blocked her outside the door.

He even said to Madam Yu in a pointed way: "I have always been very relieved to leave the harem to you. I am looking forward to the child in Zi Yan's belly. Please don't let me down."

A thousand-mile long dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Even if the king had doted on Madam Yu before, their identities were a fact that could never be changed.

If something happens, the king will still suspect her.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never let you down." Madam Yu smiled reluctantly.

Later, when he learned that Zhiyan and the little princess were together by the koi pond, he immediately understood what the king meant and knew that he was being suspected.

She also guessed that Zhiyan had used her daughter. But in this kind of thing, no one said that it was related to the little princess, and she couldn't even defend herself, because that would only make people think that she was guilty.

Moreover, she had no way to investigate the truth.

If she said that Zhiyan deliberately fell into the water and put the blame on the little princess, the king would only think that she was making clever excuses.

Zhiyan's ruthless move really led to the final victory.

Not only could Madam Yu no longer have any thoughts about her belly, she even had to find a way to ensure her safe delivery.

Because her opponent is not just Zhiyan.

If she lost the king's trust and favor at this time, then given the king's love for the prince, her and Prince Fei's plans would all fail.

After weighing the pros and cons, Madam Yu had no choice but to give up targeting Zhiyan and help her give birth to the baby safely.

Otherwise, no matter what happened, as long as she was still in charge of the harem, the king would suspect her.

"You are so bold."

At night, Shi Li quietly appeared in front of Zhiyan's couch again, frowning and looking at her with disapproval.

Zhiyan's face was still very pale at this time. Hearing this, she did not defend herself, but just chuckled and said, "Fortunately, the pills you gave me were not used."

Her health was not actually very good. She had taken a drug that caused her to fake death less than a year ago and was very weak. But for the sake of her future, she had to take this chance.

"But this time, I feel sorry for the princess and have implicated her." Zhiyan also knew that the little princess was innocent, and she was the only one who felt guilty about doing this.

Shi Li thought of the little princess's frightened face and sighed silently, "She really doesn't look like Madam Yu's child, or maybe she is spoiled too much and is too innocent."

The two had nothing else to say. Zhiyan had already done it, and there was no point in saying more.

"I believe you will be able to live a peaceful life from now on. The road will be even more difficult after the child is born." Shi Li also reminded Zhiyan softly not to forget the future.

Zhiyan nodded, "Of course I know that the Crown Prince and Master Fei are the ones that the King cares about, but I am the child that no one cares about."

Having said that, if you don't fight for it, how do you know it won't work?

This is what Zhiyan and Shili thought in their minds.

The king's health should be able to hold on for another 10 to 20 years without any unexpected events. By that time, Zhiyan's child will also be a strong contender for the throne.

But how to improve their status and competitiveness is what Zhiyan and Shili have to plan.

The road is long and difficult, but we must go on.

Shi Li walked out of Zhiyan Palace and saw Shi Wu standing not far away waiting for her in the night.

I suddenly realized that it is a really good thing to have someone who can wait for me all the time.

I also remembered the word "get married" that day when I was in a state of confusion and passion.

This is such a direct person...
