After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Chapter 522 Advance and retreat in moderation

Tang Yingqian just smiled slightly when she heard this, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what I should do as a princess."

Xiao Jingyi was even more satisfied after hearing this. "She is worthy of being my princess. Don't worry. When she wakes up, I will review the matter as soon as possible and give her an explanation. You have all worked hard today. Go back and rest early. I will wait here with Doctor Ding until she wakes up."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Tang Yingqian knew that Xiao Jingyi had his own ideas, so she didn't say much and pulled Ji Weiwei away.

The two of them left Luoxia Courtyard. After Ji Weiwei confirmed that there was no one around, she whispered to Tang Yingqian about the doubts in her heart.

"Sister, why did you speak up for Lin Qingrou just now? The prince clearly believes that she staged this incident herself. By saying this, aren't you giving her another chance to turn things around?"

Tang Yingqian smiled when she heard this. Although Ji Weiwei was smart, she was still a little impatient.

Tang Yingqian soothed her softly, "Don't be anxious, sister. Listen to me slowly. Don't you understand the prince's character? He always thinks more than we do. So if we want the prince to trust us more, we can't be too radical. We need to know when to advance and retreat. Sister, you have to remember that for a suspicious person like the prince, too much is as bad as too little. We can't be too anxious."

Ji Weiwei nodded after hearing this. "I know what my sister said makes sense, but I'm just worried that we finally managed to convince the prince of Lin Qingrou's guilt today, but tomorrow when Lin Qingrou cries and argues, the prince will soften his heart again. Then wouldn't all our efforts today be in vain?"

Tang Yingqian patted Ji Weiwei's hand gently, "Don't worry, sister. It won't happen. The seeds of doubt have been planted in the prince's heart. This night, the seeds will take root and sprout, and will never disappear. And although Lin Qingrou can refute tomorrow, I am ready and will never lose to her. Sister, just believe me and cooperate with me tomorrow."

Tang Yingqian naturally couldn't directly tell Ji Weiwei that Lin Qingyao would come to help tomorrow, but they had indeed made preparations in advance, and Lin Qingrou would definitely have no way to defend herself tomorrow.

Although Ji Weiwei was still a little worried when she heard this, seeing that Tang Yingqian was so confident, she finally decided to trust her ally.

No matter what, they both have the advantage over Lin Qingrou in terms of talking, and she doesn't believe that Lin Qingrou can beat them.

"In that case, I will only trust you."

Tang Yingqian smiled when she heard this, "Sister, you are right to think so. It is getting late and my body cannot stand the stress anymore. Go back and rest. There is another tough battle tomorrow so you need to be well rested."

Ji Weiwei nodded after hearing this, "Then sister should also rest early, and I will go back first."

After the two left, Xiao Jingyi asked Doctor Ding alone again, further confirmed some details, and gradually formed an idea in his mind.

It was already dawn when Lin Qingrou slowly woke up. At this moment, she was still immersed in the grief of the bad news she heard yesterday, and had no idea that she was about to be in great danger.

After Lin Qingrou woke up, she didn't cry or make a fuss. She just stared blankly upwards, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiao Jingyi waited for a while but didn't see Lin Qingrou wake up, so he leaned on the couch beside him to rest, and then gradually fell asleep.

However, Imperial Doctor Ding stayed on duty the whole time and did not dare to be negligent at all.

Doctor Ding had worked in the Imperial Medical Bureau for many years and had treated many concubines. He had witnessed all kinds of intrigue.

He had been watching from the sidelines last night, so he naturally knew that the prince was more inclined towards the princess.

In this case, Aunt Lin is the culprit. The prince is waiting to try her, so she must wake up safely.

Doctor Ding had been waiting nearby, so he was naturally the first person to discover that Lin Qingrou had woken up.

"Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin."

But Doctor Ding soon discovered that although Lin Qingrou's eyes were open, she seemed to have lost her soul. She didn't even blink, and no matter how he called her, she didn't respond.

Doctor Ding was worried that something might have happened to Lin Qingrou, so he rushed forward to check her pulse, but found that she was fine.

Based on Doctor Ding's many years of experience as a doctor, Lin Qingrou's current condition is due to too much shock, and all we can do is wait for her to regain consciousness.

Doctor Ding was at a loss at the moment and could only wake up Xiao Jingyi and let him make the decision.

Xiao Jingyi was not actually asleep. He opened his eyes when he heard Doctor Ding's voice.

Doctor Ding told Xiao Jingyi about Lin Qingrou's condition. Xiao Jingyi shook his head helplessly and came to Lin Qingrou's bedside.

"Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin."

Xiao Jingyi also tried calling her twice, but Lin Qingrou remained indifferent.

Xiao Jingyi still felt a little bit sorry for her when he saw her like this, and wondered if it was because the name was too unfamiliar, so he spoke again: "Rou'er, Rou'er, look at me."

I don’t know if Lin Qingrou did it on purpose, but she slowly reacted when she heard the familiar voice and name, and turned her head to look at Xiao Jingyi.

Lin Qingrou looked at Xiao Jingyi in a daze for a moment, and then suddenly threw herself into Xiao Jingyi's arms, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and began to sob.

"Your Majesty, I am so sad. My grandmother...how could she abandon me and my mother and just go away like this...wu...wu..."

Lin Qingrou sobbed and expressed her feelings. Seeing Lin Qingrou like this, Xiao Jingyi really couldn't directly question her about what happened last night. He could only comfort her first.

Xiao Jingyi patted Lin Qingrou's back and soothed her, "Okay, I know how you feel. But the dead are gone, so don't be too sad. If your grandmother knew that you were so sad for her, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace."

Lin Qingrou nodded gently in Xiao Jingyi's arms, but still couldn't help sobbing.

Lin Qingrou was crying when she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly touched her belly.

"Your Majesty, how long have I been unconscious? Is the child... okay?"

Xiao Jingyi didn't expect Lin Qingrou to take the initiative to ask about the "child's" situation, and his brows were slightly frowned.

Looking at Lin Qingrou's innocent questioning, Xiao Jingyi was a little confused about her.

Lin Qingrou's expression at the moment was too serious. Either she really knew nothing about the fake pregnancy drug, or her acting skills were so good that no one could spot any flaws.

Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but start to feel suspicious again. Lin Qingrou took the initiative to ask about this matter when she felt better. Could it be that she was taking the initiative to clear herself of suspicion?

"Rou'er, are you really concerned about the child's condition when you ask this? Or do you have other intentions?"

This was one of the few times that Xiao Jingyi truly doubted Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou was a little confused when she heard this. What did Xiao Jingyi mean by this? Why did it sound like he was doubting something? Or was there something wrong with the child?
