My husband, who abandoned his father and kept his son, actually wants me to be his concubine.

Chapter 146 Rong Yi shields himself from harm
Inside the Prince of Yan's residence.

When Lu Jinshi and Rong Yi got off the carriage, the Prince's mansion was already surrounded by soldiers.

The leading soldier approached Rong Yi and said, "Your Highness, the women of the Yan Prince's residence have all arrived at the front courtyard, but..."

Rong Yi frowned and asked, "But what?"

"We have searched the entire Prince Yan's residence, but there is still no trace of Consort Rong and the young master."

Lu Jinshi and Rong Yi exchanged a glance.

Rong Yi ordered someone to bring the Prince of Yan up. "Third Brother, you should have a proper last goodbye to your family."

"Your Highness!" Princess Consort Yan stepped forward, her eyes filled with tears, and said as she looked at the Prince Yan who was being escorted over. "Your Highness, how could this be? How could this be?"

The Prince of Yan glanced at the women in the mansion and asked his wife, "Where are Mother and Duo'er? Where have they gone?"

Princess Consort of Yan said, "I don't know either. Suddenly, soldiers came and surrounded our Yan Prince's residence. I don't know where my mother went..."

Prince Yan looked around anxiously, then suddenly remembered something and smiled, saying, "It's good that she's safe, it's good that she's safe."

The shackles on Prince Yan's hands rattled incessantly. He glared at Rong Yi and said angrily, "Qi Yi, what good is it that you won this time?"

"You will definitely die a horrible death. I'm waiting to see what happens to you!"

Lu Jinshi frowned and said, "Qi Yi is the crown prince, what kind of end could he possibly have? You deserve what you have today. How many people have you killed in your struggle for the crown prince position? Qingyun was used by you to silence her at such a young age, and Wanniang suffered an undeserved disaster because of you, being stabbed five times. She will probably never be able to conceive again. And my senior brother He Wen... You have committed so many sins, and this is why you have ended up like this!"

When the Prince of Yan glared at Lu Jin, he looked at Rong Yi with a mocking expression and said, "Qi Yi, Qi Yi, you have also used every despicable means to obtain the position of Crown Prince. We are all inferior to you. You traveled thousands of miles to be a male concubine and have your child conceived by someone else, relying on your wife's family to help you. Now you are afraid of your wife's family and don't even dare to participate in the imperial concubine selection!"

Rong Yi chuckled and said, "My greatest support as the Crown Prince is my father, the Emperor. Why would I need to rely on my wife's family? Besides, even if I did rely on my wife's family, so what?"

Rong Yi placed his hand on Lu Jinshi's shoulder and said, "Having such a virtuous wife is the greatest blessing of my life. What's wrong with ascending to the position of Crown Prince with the help of my wife?"

Lu Jinshi removed Rong Yi's hand from his shoulder and looked at the Prince of Yan with a deep gaze, saying, "And you, do you really think you are capable of being the crown prince? What are you relying on?"

Lu Jinshi approached Prince Yan step by step and whispered, "You rely on underhanded methods like poisoning, and you rely on having your mother collude with court officials to threaten these important ministers and make them serve your power..."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Yan stared intently at Lu Jinshi with eyes that seemed to be coated with poison.

Lu Jinshi knew he was right when he saw the Prince of Yan's guess. "The Crown Prince at least has a lawfully wedded wife, but what do you have? How dare someone like you covet the position of Crown Prince? You are inhuman and don't even deserve to be called a human being!"

Seeing the Prince of Yan's annoyed expression, Lu Jinshi chuckled and turned to walk towards Rong Yi.

"go to hell!"

Lu Jinshi heard the voice behind him and turned around.

A dagger appeared on the hand of the Prince of Yan, who was still in shackles, and it stabbed straight at her.

Lu Jinshi had only one thought: she absolutely could not die here. Her Zhang'er was so young, and her daughter in her womb had not yet been born.

What will happen to Zhang'er if she dies?

Rong Yi is still so young, he will definitely marry another Crown Princess.

At that time, her son Zhang'er will surely become a thorn in the side of the new Crown Princess.

Lu Jinshi never expected that she could think of so many things in just a moment.

The blade flashed past her eyes, and Lu Jinshi only saw blood splattered all over her face. Meanwhile, the Prince of Yan's dagger pierced Rong Yi, who was blocking her path, just below his chest.

Rong Yi actually took that blow for me.

"Your Highness!"

Lu Jinshi was stunned for a moment, then he supported Rong Yi and said, "Rong Yi... Rong Yi..."

Lu Jinshi glared angrily at Prince Yan, who had been shot in the heart and lungs by a hidden weapon while she was drawing her knife. She hated herself for being too careless and wished she could tear Prince Yan to pieces.

Unable to support Rong Yi's body any longer, Lu Jinshi collapsed to the ground, holding Rong Yi in her arms, "Rong Yi..."

“I…” Rong Yi coughed twice, looked at Lu Jinshi and said, “I…I’m sorry…I can’t be with you anymore…Don’t forget me in the future…”

Tears streamed down Lu Jinshi's face as she watched the blood continuously flowing from Rong Yi's chest. She knew she should go and treat Rong Yi.

But her mind was a complete mess at that moment, and tears kept streaming down her face.

The guards nearby quickly took out some hemostatic pills and gave them to Rong Yi. They also sprinkled some wound medicine on Rong Yi's wound to stop the bleeding.

The guard knelt before Lu Jinshi and said, "Your Highness, we will take His Highness back to the East Palace so that the imperial physicians can give him proper treatment."

Lu Jinshi replied, "Okay, quick, quick!"

Lu Jinshi saw the guards help Rong Yi up and, while trying to keep Rong Yi from making any noise, quickly sent him back to the East Palace.

Lu Jinshi tried to stand up, but his legs felt weak and he couldn't stand up at all.

The two palace maids, Qiaozhen and Huizhen, rushed over to help Lu Jinshi up.

On the carriage ride back to the East Palace, Lu Jinshi's eyes were filled with tears as she recalled every detail of her acquaintance with Rong Yi. When they first met, Rong Yi was only seventeen years old...

Rong Yi was truly handsome back then, with rosy cheeks and white teeth, unlike the average scholar in the academy.

This was the first time Lu Jinshi had ever seen such an ethereal beauty.

She thought that it would be great if her child could grow up to be as good-looking as Rong Yi.

She was pleasantly surprised when she tested his knowledge.

After successfully becoming pregnant, Lu Jinshi knew that she needed to use a donor to have a child and eliminate the father, so she should have secretly gotten pregnant and driven Rong Yi away. At that time, she ignored Rong Yi for a few days, and later Rong Yi found out that she was pregnant...

Seeing Rong Yi's delighted expression, Lu Jinshi couldn't bear to send him away.

Thinking about it, she also wanted to have both a son and a daughter.

Later, she came to Chang'an and learned that Rong Yi wanted her to be his concubine. How could she not feel resentful and angry? To this day, she still can't get over this knot in her heart...

But he actually took the fatal blow for me...

They returned to the Eastern Palace.

Lu Jinshi was helped into the bedchamber by a palace maid. Looking at Rong Yi lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Lu Jinshi could only shed tears. Ignoring the pain in her stomach, she went forward and sat down next to Rong Yi, holding his hand tightly.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, you are currently pregnant, so please take good care of yourself."

Lu Jinshi looked at the group of imperial physicians in front of him and asked in a tearful voice, "When will His Highness the Crown Prince wake up?"
