=Episode 15=

Dongli, I think you dropped something.

What's this?

Father, it's...

What are you planning to do by preparing these things?

Your Highness, please calm down.

I was the one who prepared it.

You?

Why did you...

Do you want to leave Quliang?

Your Highness, please forgive me.

Indeed,

I want to leave with my child.

Why?

Forgive me, Your Highness.

I only want

this child

to live a peaceful life.

Lian,

do you like these lotus flowers?

There are many kinds of flowers in the world.

But the lotus

is my favorite.

I knew you'd like it too.

I won't force you to stay.

Father!

Your Highness,

please give me some time.

You're so clueless.

Where do you think your power comes from?

Prince An has been favoring you for many years

because you're

the late princess consort's only child.

But now, everyone knows

that Luo Qinglian is a substitute for the late princess consort.

What about her child?

You already have a high probability

of inheriting the title.

But now,

I'm afraid your future is unpredictable.

Why do you keep looking at me like that?

I just want to see

how unfathomable your heart is.

No matter how unfathomable it is,

it still can't beat your perceptiveness.

Girl, the truth is...

He Lianxin,

you don't even spare a child.

What else can't you use for your benefit?

You're right.

I intentionally wanted Father to know

you're pregnant to make him visit.

So he can stop you from leaving.

Girl,

you have your way of protecting the child.

But don't forget

that the child also has me as his father.

My protection

for him

is to let him be born safely

and grow up happily.

Ever since I was young,

there's no emotion I can't control.

But when you passed out,

I was so nervous

that my palms were sweaty.

I've never been afraid.

Even when a knife is held against my throat,

I wouldn't even bat an eye.

But now,

I'm getting more and more scared.

I'm afraid when I lose the child,

I will lose you too.

Girl,

I think...

I think I've truly

fallen for you.

Forgive me, Madam.

It wasn't easy to leave the mansion. I'm sorry to have made you wait.

Take a seat.

You're the ordinary consort now,

no longer a performer.

Madam Mo.

Good boy.

Greetings, Madam Mo.

Those belong to Ms. Lian.

If you like it,

Ms. Lian will definitely let you play with them

because she's a generous person.

It's you, Madam Rou.

Greetings, Madam Mo.

Xu Jirou

isn't acting like herself.

Why is she afraid of Li Qianmo?

Ms. Lian, here's the medicine for your pregnancy.

I'm afraid when I lose the child,

I will lose you too.

Ms. Lian.

I...

Ms. Lian,

Young Master

may have gone overboard in the past.

But he has been treating you very well lately.

Putting aside all the gifts he bestowed,

just his effort alone

when he runs to Lianwei House eight times a day is enough.

No matter what you needed, food or drink,

as long as you thought about it,

he would have them delivered instantly.

Not even the most filial child can be compared to him.

You comment anyhow you wish.

Aren't you afraid of being punished?

Please take your medicine.

Rong,

look at this.

What do you think?

Your stitches aren't as tight.

Look at my needlework.

It should be sewn this way.

Ms. Lian! Ms. Lian!

Young Master sent someone to deliver gifts again.

It's a box of blood bird's nest this time.

Where should I place them?

No need.

Just send them to Liuyun Cottage.

No, thank you.

Liuyun Cottage has limited space.

It's already packed to the brim there.

Those who don't know

would think I'm the one who's pregnant.

Well, that's right.

Ms. Lian, these are blood bird's nests

we're talking about.

How many swallows must have spat out blood

to produce this little amount of blood bird's nests?

Who told you

a blood bird's nest is produced from a swallow's blood?

Wasn't it?

Since you turn them down,

then we'll keep them.

Wait.

Rong,

it must be tiring to just sit around.

Why don't we go to Qiyan Tower?

I want to be alone.

You can go back now.

Lately, your health is...

I should come with you.

At least, I can watch over you.

I'm fine. Just go back.

She didn't tell you where she's going and you didn't even follow her?

We wanted to go with her.

Madam Rou's health has been...

Is Madam Rou ill?

Thank you for your concern, Ms. Lian.

Madam

only caught a cold.

It's not anything serious.

Didn't Huafu say

that she had a cold?

If it was a simple cold,

why did she cut off Lin Zhao's word in such a hurry?

Madam Rou has always been a tough person.

Perhaps she just didn't want to cause a fuss.

But I don't think it's that simple.

We may have been spending time together.

But I still think

Xu Jirou is hard to read

and not trustworthy.

Especially when I remember

how ruthless she was when she joined hands with Mu Haiyao

to go against you,

it still gives me chills.

That was all in the past.

Lian'er,

are you...

Rong, you're the closest person to me

in this mansion.

If Madam Rou

is on our side,

wouldn't it be better
