Chapter 685: She Was Completely Stunned

At this point, she remained silent. She believed Long Chi could figure out where the conversation was heading.

Just as she expected, a thought occurred in Long Chi the moment she was done speaking. “Are you trying to say that this letter was left on my table by Chen Xuping’s men to frame you?”

Chen Qiyu shook her head. “I’m not completely sure about this myself. The Eastern Palace is heavily guarded, after all. It would not be an easy feat for someone to place a letter on Your Highness’ table without alerting the guards.”

Long Chi’s eyes narrowed. “Are you saying that Chen Xuping has some inside help?”

Chen Qiyu shook her head again. “I’m not sure.”

Long Chi began contemplating this.

He knew that Chen Xuping and Lu Yunshuang were close, but they had never crossed the line. Moreover, Chen Xuping had done a lot of things for Lu Yunshuang, even taking the fall for the brothel incident, saving him and Lu Yunshuang from being implicated.

Chen Qiyu must have been abducted and forced into the brothel if she had really been there for that long.

Could she really have been trapped there because of her bad relationship with Chen Xuping?

This reasoning sounded weak.

Chen Qiyu had already been married into the Eastern Palace and it was difficult for her to leave it. No matter how much Chen Xuping disliked her, there was no reason to harm her this way.

Chen Xuping had always followed Lu Yunshuang’s instructions. If Chen Qiyu had really been sent to the brothel, it must have been orders Chen Xuping had received from Lu Yunshuang.

He quickly understood the reason why Lu Yunshuang would do such a thing

A dark cloud formed over his face.

No matter how jealous Lu Yunshuang felt, she should not have done such a thing. How could she not respect his dignity?

Chen Qiyu did not dare lift her head, but she felt a bit calmer than before.

She was confident that the Crown Prince would not do anything to her. After all, she was pregnant with his child.

If this was before, she might not have felt as confident. However, after discovering that the Crown Prince had become impotent, she became much more assured about her situation.

If the Crown Prince could not be cured, the baby in her womb would be his only child.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.

It was truly fortunate that His Majesty had sent someone to warn her in secret. This had given her time to prepare and thus she did not lose her bearings when the Crown Prince suddenly barged in to interrogate her.

As she had expected, Long Chi continued to ask her more questions.

She was able to reply to all of them.

Long Chi went silent for a while before saying, “You are to stay in your room from this day onward. You are not allowed to step out of your courtyard without my orders until you have given birth.”

Chen Qiyu’s heart chilled for a moment when she heard this.

She was not stupid. She knew that even though the Crown Prince did not sentence her with serious punishment, he had already believed that she was in the brothel back then and had serviced those men. He had kept her alive only because of the child in her womb. Once she had given birth, death was the only thing awaiting her.

Chen Qiyu’s heart went cold at this realization. However, she did not reveal her emotions. “I thank you for your graciousness, Your Highness!”

Long Chi did not want to take another look at her and he turned away, but at the same time, he caught sight of someone sitting on the rooftop opposite.

A young man with a cold look on his face was standing there while holding a sword. He did not avert his gaze even though Long Chi had noticed him.

Long Chi’s heart jumped.

What was Chu Qi doing here?

Right at that moment, Lu Yunshuang came running in. “Your Highness, did anything happen? I was in the garden when I saw you come into Beauty Chen’s courtyard with an anxious look on your face. I was worried…”

Long Chi suddenly felt disgusted at her ‘concerned’ tone.

“Huh, why is Beauty Chen kneeling on the ground? You’re pregnant, what if the child…”

Slap.

Before she could finish her sentence, she was slapped heavily on the face.

Lu Yunshuang was completely stunned. When she returned to her senses, she pressed her hand against the spot she was slapped on the cheek. She looked at Long Chi in disbelief.. “Your Highness, you…”
