Inside the private room, Li Ying said impassively,
"Don't you think what you're saying is absurd? Even if you're going to lie, you should at least come up with a decent one."
Lin Qingzhi had long expected the Fourth Prince to question her.
After all, something like foreseeing the future seemed truly preposterous to ordinary people.
If she were in his shoes, her first reaction would undoubtedly be suspicion, too.
Lin Qingzhi appeared very confident.
"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can put it to the test."
Li Ying retorted, "How?"
"I know that Princess Anshun will become pregnant next month. You can wait and see. If, after a month, things develop just as I've said, it will prove that I'm not lying."
Up in the large pagoda tree, Li Ji relayed this conversation to Hua Manman.
Hua Manman whispered, "Is Princess Anshun's pregnancy such a special thing? Why would she use it as proof?"
Li Ji also lowered his voice, explaining close to her ear.
