I just want to rob you of your luck

In Li Cheng's heart, Lin Jiuer's importance has long surpassed Lin Yaner's, so how could he bear to see her sad.

He held Lin Jiuer in his arms: "Jiuer, I regret not meeting you earlier. You are not greedy, you are too kind. You finally think about others. Don't be sad. If you are sad, the baby in your belly will also be sad."

When Lin Jiuer heard this, she quickly said, "I am not sad anymore. I must give birth to a healthy child for the prince. Does the prince like a son or a daughter?"

Li Cheng gently kissed her forehead: "Okay, Jiuer will definitely give me a healthy child. As for whether it's a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter to me. Besides, does Jiuer only plan to give me one child?"

Recently, because Lin Jiuer is in the early stages of pregnancy, he can only behave himself and doesn't dare to do anything rash at night.

He leaned over and whispered something in Lin Jiuer's ear. Lin Jiuer blushed and gently pounded his chest.

The two joked for a while, had lunch together, and then Li Cheng went to the study to work.

Lin Jiuer quickly opened the system task panel, and the progress bar reached 70%, growing by another 5%.

Sure enough, as long as Lin Yan'er was unlucky, her mission progress would increase.

However, she found that the mission seemed to progress slower as time went on.

But she knew Lin Yan'er, and judging from her condition yesterday, she did not seem to be without fighting ability.

I guess being stimulated by her will arouse some fighting spirit.

Then she will just wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, on the second day, it was heard that Li Cheng met Tinglan who accidentally fell into the water on the way to the backyard.

Li Cheng subconsciously jumped into the water to rescue the person, and personally sent the unconscious person to the princess's courtyard.

When Lin Yan'er saw Li Cheng carrying Tinglan into the yard, her eyes flickered and then she walked over in panic.

"Your Highness, what happened to Tinglan?"

Li Cheng was a little embarrassed and felt something was wrong but it was too late.

"I was just about to go to Hibiscus Courtyard when I saw her fall into the lake. When I rushed over to rescue her, she was already unconscious."

Lin Yan'er looked at her and saw that she was still holding a few willow branches by the lake, her eyes welling up with tears.

She choked up and said, "This silly girl, I just casually said that I missed the time when I made wreaths and bracelets with willow branches as a child, and she foolishly went to the lake in the backyard to pick willow branches."

Lin Yan'er shed two lines of tears: "Now I only have this one useful maid by my side. She has never had any other thoughts and has always served me wholeheartedly. If anything happens to her again, I really feel that there is no point in living anymore."

Li Cheng followed Lin Yan'er's gaze and saw the willow branches in Tinglan's hand.

It was indeed a branch from the weeping willow tree by the lake in the backyard. I didn’t expect this maid to be so loyal.

He didn't feel at all that Lin Yan'er was secretly saying that Lin Jiu'er and Bai Zhi had evil intentions.

"I'll ask the court doctor to come over and check on her later. If nothing else, I'll leave now."

"Your Highness, are you not even willing to sit with me for a while longer?"

Lin Yan'er smiled sadly, not to mention how resentful she was.

Li Cheng sighed and looked at Lin Yan'er, but he didn't say the words of rejection in the end.

Lin Yan'er is now thin and haggard, and her frail appearance is truly pitiful.

Although she had deceived him many times before, she had learned her lesson now.

Li Cheng saw how pitiful and helpless she looked, and that the only maidservant she trusted was like this again. Thinking that they had once loved each other, he softened his heart.

He left and asked Xiao Anzi to bring dry clothes and change them here.

He stayed with Lin Yan'er until the court doctor came to diagnose Tinglan's pulse and treat her. Finally, Tinglan woke up after spitting out a mouthful of dirty water.

Lin Yan'er cried with joy and held Tinglan's hand: "Silly girl, you scared me to death. What should I do if something happens to you?"

Tinglan weakly opened her eyes and saw Lin Yan'er with tears in her eyes and a look of anticipation. Of course, she also saw Li Cheng standing behind her.

"Princess, I am such a useless servant. I wanted to get you some willow branches to make a wreath, but they fell into the lake. I am sorry to have caused you so much worry."

Lin Yan'er shook her head: "Tinglan, don't say that. I know what you mean. You want to make me happy, but now you are the only one by my side. How should I live if something happens to you!"

Lin Yan'er seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly: "If His Highness hadn't passed by there and rescued you, you would probably have already..."

Tinglan looked at Li Cheng behind her and wanted to get down to pay her respects out of gratitude, but suddenly she found that all her clothes were wet.

It is summer now, and the materials of dresses are very thin. When they get wet, they stick to the body, revealing the delicate curves.

She screamed in fright and quickly pulled the quilt to cover her body.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for my impoliteness. Thank you for saving my life. I have no way to repay you."

Li Cheng also saw the scene just now and coughed lightly: "Nothing, I hope you are okay."

Lin Yan'er sighed softly: "Tinglan, I will ask the servants to come and help you change your clothes and take care of you taking medicine. You should have a good rest first."

Li Cheng didn't want to stay here anymore, so he turned and walked out. Lin Yan'er nodded to Tinglan, then turned around and followed him.

"Your Highness, thank you for saving Tinglan. But just now many people in the backyard saw the prince carrying her back. If she knew about this, I'm afraid...

Li Cheng frowned: "Why? Is it wrong for me to save her?"

Lin Yan'er said quickly: "No, nevermind, Your Highness, go back and have a bowl of ginger soup."

Lin Yan'er said this just to see Li Cheng's reaction. It seemed that he didn't think about it that way, so he needed to plan it further.

Li Cheng nodded and left with Xiao Anzi.

Lin Jiuer smiled slightly when she heard the news.

It seems that Lin Yan'er can't sit still anymore and is about to start fighting back. This time she actually wants to send Tinglan to Li Cheng. It's quite interesting.

Li Cheng returned to his Lingfeng Pavilion, washed up, changed his clothes, and then went to Furong Courtyard to find Lin Jiuer.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Lin Jiuer sewing something.

He walked up and said, "Jiu'er, you are pregnant now, so don't do this kind of needlework. It's tiring and laborious, and don't hurt your eyes."

Lin Jiuer looked at Li Cheng and smiled faintly: "I am bored and just want to make some small clothes for the baby in my belly. Nothing else."

She put down what she was holding, picked up a set of white silk underwear next to her and walked in front of Li Cheng.

"It's summer now, and the weather is hot. I made a silk tunic for Your Highness. Would Your Highness like to try it on and see if it fits you?"

Li Cheng was touched that Jiuer still cared about him even though she was pregnant.

"Okay, don't move, just let Xiao Anzi help me change clothes."

Xiao Anzi helped put on the inner clothes. Li Cheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "Jiu'er, your craftsmanship is really good. The clothes fit well and are very comfortable to wear."

Lin Jiuer also smiled happily: "Your Highness, just make sure you are comfortable wearing it."

After that, the two of them chatted and laughed as usual, and no one mentioned Li Cheng's rescue just now from beginning to end.

At this moment, Ting Lan asked in confusion, "Why didn't the princess directly tell us our purpose just now?"

"Idiot, just say it directly, are you trying to blackmail His Highness into marrying you?"

Tinglan also figured something out and quickly apologized: "It was my fault for speaking out of turn."

"Well, it's good that you know. Li Cheng's biggest weakness is his soft heart. But he is the legitimate son of the Empress after all. He has his own pride and doesn't like being threatened. To put it bluntly, he is just a donkey that goes with the flow!"

Tinglan didn't quite understand, but felt that Lin Yan'er was a little unfathomable: "So what should we do next?"
