Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: Prince Rongqing_1 Chapter 1011: Chapter 1011: Prince Rongqing_1 “Heh heh.”

The uniquely charming, magnetic laughter of Lin Shimo echoed.

He walked forward, holding a folding fan, his long hair reaching to his waist, his face adorned with an alluring smile, as handsome as ever.

“This is the real state of Dean Lin, isn’t it?” Jiang Ning exclaimed, “You must be tired of pretending to be a refined scholar all the time.”

“A bit.”

Lin Shimo looked at her, his eyes squinted in an evil grin, “The Princess Consort is the most beautiful and the smartest woman I’ve ever met. You really are an interesting person. If I had more time, I might not be able to resist falling in love with you.”

Li Hongyuan laughed, “Dean Lin, or perhaps I should call you, Prince Rongqing?”

Li You’s face slightly changed, “What did you call him?”

“You don’t know?” Jiang Ning looked surprised, “Prince of Zhao, you really disappoint me. You are not as smart as I thought. You don’t even know the real identity of your military advisor. No wonder you were fooled to the point of being crippled.”

“What are you talking about!” Li You was on the verge of a breakdown.

“Your military advisor, Lin Shimo, is not actually a member of the Lin Family. He was adopted by them. His name is Song Rongqing, the descendant of the former Crown Prince.” Jiang Ning smiled and asked, “Prince Rongqing, am I right?”

“Mmm, you are.” Lin Shimo nodded seriously, “However, I was not adopted by Lin Family.”

“The Lin Family was a retainer to your family.” Li Hongyuan suddenly remembered, “Yes, in the previous dynasty, there was a writing attendant surnamed Lin. Could it be…”

“You are not completely stupid, but compared to your Empress, you still fall short.” Lin Shimo spoke quietly.

Li You stared at Lin Shimo, “You are actually a descendant of the previous dynasty’s royal family. Why did you help me?”

“Help you? Don’t flatter yourself,” Jiang Ning scoffed. “He wants to restore the previous dynasty, he’s just using you!”

“Restore the previous dynasty?”

Lin Shimo chuckled, “The dynasty has long since fallen, what’s there to restore?”

“Then why did you do all this?” Li You demanded.

“Since my dynasty already perished, why can’t the Great Sheng perish as well?” Lin Shimo smirked, “I just wanted to see how many years the Great Sheng could hold on for. It appears now that Great Sheng’s luck hasn’t run out yet. Sigh.”

He sighed genuinely.

Li You exploded, “You pretended to be my military advisor, encouraged me to vie for the throne, all of this was just to make use of me to tear apart the Imperial Court and create chaos in the Great Sheng?”

Lin Shimo faintly turned his head, not answering him but instead asked Jiang Ning, “I am very curious, how did you find out?”

“Because of this.”

Jiang Ning took out an arrowhead, compared to a normal one, was much more delicate and meticulous.

This was the arrowhead that had hit her that day at the city gate.

Jiang Ning gently stroked the arrow, saying, “At that time, Gucheng was right beside me, and he didn’t even notice this arrow, which shows that the one who shot it was an extraordinary master. There are very few in this world who could surpass Gucheng.”

“So that proves it was me?” Lin Shimo asked.

“Of course not.” Jiang Ning shook her head, “At first, I was a little suspicious of you, but didn’t have any evidence. Until someone told me that he had seen this arrow before.”

“Really?” Lin Shimo was taken aback, but immediately laughed, “So it was Wenren Zong who told you.”

“Indeed, as expected of the well-known Dean Lin, you’re clever!” Jiang Ning gave him another backhanded compliment.

However, this time Lin Shimo didn’t feel very pleased.

“Impossible!” Li You shouted, “Wenren Zong would never betray me!”

“Why?” Jiang Ning puzzled, then shook her head, “He has not betrayed you. After all, even you didn’t know Lin Shimo’s real identity. He just told me that he had once seen this arrow at the Academy.”

That day in the jail cell, when she was bidding Wenren Zong farewell, he had told her.

Jiang Ning was not sure whether he knew the whole truth, but in any case, between Li You and her, he had ultimately chosen her this time.
