The princess was fed contraceptive soup on the day of the marriage exchange, and she went crazy

Concubine Hua didn't want to say it too directly, so she just turned her head and looked at Sheng Nanzhi: "Do you know what I mean?"

"I know, don't worry, mother."

Concubine Hua finally nodded and said, "It's not that I don't want you to get in touch with the Sheng family, but judging by the words and actions of your two sisters, the Sheng family has great ambitions."

"If it were just ambition, it would be fine. The most important thing is that His Majesty is now suspicious of the Sheng family."

"Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. I've been in the Imperial City for so many years, and I've seen too much. I've seen too many prominent families that were so prosperous yesterday, with so many people flocking to them, to be destroyed overnight, completely disappearing."

Seeing the fear that could not help but appear on Sheng Nanzhi's face, Concubine Hua smiled again: "But don't worry, you have Huaizhi's child in your belly. As long as you don't do anything you shouldn't do, I can guarantee that you will not be affected by the Sheng family."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded. It was not easy for Concubine Hua to make such a promise. "Don't worry, mother. I know."

Concubine Hua smiled and said, "You are a good child. Go back first."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head in agreement and hurriedly left the palace, but she never expected that she would be stopped by someone halfway back home.

Shuanghan lifted the carriage curtain and took a look outside: "Princess, this is the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Sheng Nanzhi's eyebrows moved slightly. The person from the Prime Minister's Mansion should be Sheng Lin who was summoned to the palace.

What a coincidence!

She was about to return to Prince Yi's Mansion and close the door to refuse visitors, and kept everyone from the Sheng family outside, but she never expected to see them here.

Sheng Lin had already gotten off the carriage.

"Nanzhi."

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her eyes and got off the carriage.

Sheng Lin hurriedly took two steps forward: "Did you just come out of the palace?"

"Then do you know what happened?" He frowned. "Earlier, the eunuch beside His Majesty hurried to the palace to summon me. He also said something meaningful to me, 'You, the Sheng family, are really good at educating your daughters.'"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't think he meant it as a compliment."

He frowned. "Who is the daughter of the Sheng family he's talking about? Is it you?"

Sheng Nanzhi shook her head: "Dad, if it were me, I would be detained in the palace now, instead of standing in front of you."

This is true.

Sheng Lin had just thought of this, but he immediately reacted: "What do you mean? Who is being held captive in the palace?"

He only had three daughters. Sheng Yunrou was originally a concubine in the palace, so she couldn't say anything. "Is she your third sister?"

"What happened to her? What did she do?"

Sheng Nanzhi hesitated, her eyes drooping and her eyelashes trembling slightly: "It's not just my third sister."

"It's not just your third sister?" Sheng Lin felt his vision go dark: "Then who else?"

"You better tell me quickly. I'm about to enter the palace. Tell me first so I can think of a countermeasure."

"If anything happens to our Sheng family, you, as a daughter of the Sheng family, will also be implicated."

Sheng Nanzhi bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her head and said quickly: "It was my second sister who went to see the Seventh Prince and said that she was pregnant with the Seventh Prince's child."

Sheng Lin's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "What? What did you say?"

His face turned pale: "How dare she do that?"

"She's in the palace, and her every move affects our entire Sheng family! How could she dare to get involved in such a disaster!"

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head and continued, "My third sister happened to be entering the palace at that time. She wanted to tell the virtuous concubine that she was pregnant, and she happened to hear it."

"The third sister suddenly became emotional and rushed in angrily, starting a fight with the second sister."

"The noise they made attracted the palace guards..."

Sheng Nanzhi took a deep breath and said, "In short, His Majesty finally found out about this matter."

Sheng Lin felt his vision go dark, and he could only mutter and repeat, "His Majesty knows."

Sheng Nanzhi bit her lip and nodded: "But it's not over yet."

"His Majesty has come here with the imperial physician, who has confirmed that my second sister is pregnant."

"Just when His Majesty was furious and about to investigate, the Seventh Prince suddenly stood up and said that when His Majesty first took him back, he had injured his reproductive organs due to a fall from a horse. He was completely unable to have sex with a woman, let alone get her pregnant."

"So, no matter whether the baby in the second or third sister's belly is his, it can't be his."

"What?" Sheng Lin's eyes widened: "He he he..."

"The imperial physician also examined the Seventh Prince's pulse and confirmed that what he said was indeed true."

Sheng Lin staggered and almost lost his balance: "Then what about the baby in your Wanrou and Qingqian's belly..."

Sheng Nanzhi shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know either."

"But the Seventh Prince also took the initiative to propose a blood test to confirm their relationship. His Majesty then ordered the imperial physician to prescribe abortion drugs, so that the babies in the two sisters' bellies could be kept and recognized by the Seventh Prince through a blood test."

"And... His Majesty seems to be suspicious of my father and the Sheng family."

"He suddenly said something to his daughter earlier, saying that the Sheng family was truly powerful. The Sheng family had three daughters in total, one of whom married him, and the other married his two sons."

"Moreover, all three daughters became pregnant within less than six months of their marriage."

"If it weren't for what happened today, the Shi family's kingdom might have passed to the Sheng family in just a few years."

Sheng Nanzhi deliberately exaggerated a little, making Sheng Lin's face even uglier.

"It's over, it's over!"

"Your two sisters are really crazy!"

"How dare they?"

Sheng Nanzhi lowered her head and sighed: "My daughter was also scared silly at that time."

"My daughter almost thought that the baby in her belly might be implicated and could not be saved."

"Fortunately, Concubine Hua quickly interceded with His Majesty and saved my life."

"Although His Majesty did let me go at that time, I don't think he necessarily believed that I was innocent. He issued an edict, asking me to return to Prince Yi's Mansion and be confined there, not allowing me to see anyone."

Sheng Nanzhi bit her lip and said, "Daddy, if you want to save your daughter, save the child in her belly."

"When you enter the palace this time, you must never tell anyone that you have seen my daughter."

"My daughter will go back first."

Sheng Lin took a deep breath, his mind in a mess.

Only then did he understand why Sheng Nanzhi had reacted that way just now.

In the current situation, Sheng Nanzhi is probably his only hope.

If he could save one, he would save one.

"I see."

He waved his hand and called the servant: "I feel a little unwell, please help me get into the carriage."

Seeing Sheng Lin hurriedly getting on the carriage with weak legs, Sheng Nanzhi lowered his eyes and got on the carriage as well.
