I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Just keep it to yourself, whatever you do, don't let anyone else know, or we'll all be in deep trouble."

Aunt Wang was deeply shocked, and Lin Yi, who was eavesdropping nearby, was also extremely shocked.

He wanted to eavesdrop on some more gossip when he heard Granny Wang say, "Granny Zhang, have you heard? The princess is about to give birth in the next few days. Don't forget to dress festively then; the prince will surely give you some reward money!"

"Not necessarily, Aunt Wang..."

Lin Yi listened to the two repeating their conversation again and immediately understood.

These two are like broken records.

Just like in traditional single-player games, when a player controls a character to talk to an NPC, if the NPC finishes saying their lines, the dialogue will be repeated and the loop will start again.

Since that was the case, there was no point in staying here any longer, so Lin Yi started walking around the house.

I must say, the Liang Prince's Mansion is really big.

The largest courtyard where Lin Yi used to live was the one he just bought, with four people per room, accommodating twenty or thirty people.

But compared to Liang Wang's house, that house was like comparing a basketball to a basketball court—the difference was too great.

Moreover, this is in the heart of Beijing, where land is incredibly valuable. Having such a large house means you'll never have to work again in your life.

If Lin Yi hadn't been able to fly, he was worried he would have gotten lost.

The pavilions, terraces, and gardens stirred even Lin Yi's worldly desires.

I want to get one too.

After walking around the courtyard, Lin Yi saw Granny Wang again. He was stunned. Good heavens, this courtyard is full of hidden talents.

Aunt Wang, do you know how to use Flash?

Despite his confusion, Lin Yi still crouched down and eavesdropped.

Although Granny Wang promised Granny Zhang not to reveal the secret, she turned around and talked to another woman about the princess being pregnant with the dragon's child.

After saying that, he went back to repeating himself.

This made Lin Yi feel more like he was playing a single-player game.

Wherever he goes, the people there will recite their lines. When the storyline ends here, he moves on to the next place, and the people from before might reappear there.

He didn't spend much time, but in the setting, a long time might have passed.

So, just as Aunt Wang was speaking to Aunt Zhang, she turned around and reappeared here, even in front of him.

Now that Granny Wang has become a broken record again, it means that the story here has ended, and Lin Yi needs to go explore other places.

This exploration led them from the front house to the back house, where they saw Granny Wang and Granny Zhang being beaten from afar.

Okay, now the plot makes sense.

As usual, Lin Yi sneaked over to observe secretly, just like a thief.

The person who did the beating was a woman dressed in a black short jacket. She looked very capable. As she swung her long whip, she cursed angrily, "Who gave you such audacity to slander the princess? Today I will beat you to death!"

The long whip lashed their flesh, making them scream and howl, until a gentle voice came from inside the house.

"Amo, let it go, give them a way out."

"But they..."

"Release them, consider it an act of merit for the child in my womb!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but become curious about what the princess looked like.

What kind of person could have such a gentle voice?

After watching three short plays, Lin Yi already felt a great deal of goodwill towards the princess, whom he had not yet met.

Forgiving someone after being hurt is not a commendable behavior in Lin Yi's view, but it cannot be denied that he is a kind person.

As Lin Yi waited expectantly, the door slowly opened, and a woman with a protruding belly walked out.

Lin Yi stared intently and was immediately stunned.

Isn't this just Xiao Se in women's clothing?

Chapter 238 Dreaming of the Future

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised, but not entirely surprised, that the princess and Xiao Se looked exactly alike.

When he saw the Liang Prince's Mansion, he guessed that this was probably a replica created based on a certain period of time in the Liang Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing that the princess was pregnant and about to give birth, Lin Yi guessed that it might be related to Xiao Se.

Hearing the princess behind him seemingly having an affair with the emperor, Lin Yi was truly dumbfounded.

Minions are everywhere!

He suddenly understood why Xiao Zhao was so determined to kill Xiao Se. Although Xiao Se was somewhat innocent, Xiao Zhao's actions were not unreasonable.

This is insane!

Lin Yi was surprised when he saw the princess, but it was because of her appearance.

Xiao Se was born to the princess and looks like her, which is fine, but looking alike and looking exactly the same are two different things.

Lin Yi was certain that the woman in front of him was exactly the same as Xiao Se; the curve of her face and the size of her features were exactly the same.

This was the first time Lin Yi had ever seen something so similar, and he was naturally amazed.

Xiao Se's mother's genes seemed to be too strong, so Xiao Se didn't resemble his father at all.

To be fair, the old man next door did go too far, but it's understandable.

How many men could resist the allure of such a beauty?

Even though Xiao Se knew he was a man, his heart couldn't help but race when he put on women's clothing, let alone the princess who was already married.

Her figure is graceful and voluptuous, more alluring than the desolate landscape.

The princess forgave Aunt Wang and Aunt Zhang for spreading the rumors and had them taken away.

Lin Yi guessed that the plot was about to pick up again, and he even made a prediction.

The princess spared the instigator, but the rumors still spread. King Liang felt very embarrassed, so after Xiao Se was born, he killed the princess, so Xiao Se was born without a mother.

So what we're about to see is Xiao Zhao killing the princess.

To verify this, Lin Yi carefully concealed himself and headed towards the princess's room, where the story might unfold.

However, just as Lin Yi approached the door, he heard that gentle voice: "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Was discovered.

Lin Yi turned around, looked at the pregnant princess, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I was just passing by and meant no harm."

To be honest, no one would believe this lie.

Can a stranger trespass on a private property without malicious intent?

Moreover, King Liang already had countless enemies, and as his queen, it was normal for her to be targeted. How could she easily trust a stranger?

Lin Yi was prepared to run away, but the other party actually believed him and nodded, saying, "It's fate that we met. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Your wife is so gentle.

Lin Yi had no choice but to obey her and sit down.

The princess had someone boil water and bring it over. She looked at Lin Yi with great interest and said, "The moment I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity with you. Perhaps we will have an even deeper connection in the future!"

Lin Yi: "..."

It was just a very ordinary polite remark, but Lin Yi always felt that Xiao Se's mother was flirting with him. Madam, this is unacceptable.

He had no choice but to be more respectful and said, "I feel especially close to you."

To be honest, Lin Yi wasn't sure what state he was in right now, whether what he was seeing and hearing was a reenactment of a real scene from the past, or something else entirely.

In short, just get involved first.

The princess looked at Lin Yi with scrutinizing eyes. After a long while, she finally asked, "Do we know each other, or do you know someone related to me?"

Lin Yi was startled, unsure where he had gone wrong, and quickly replied, "What makes you ask about that?"

"It was just a feeling before, but now I'm certain. You... do you know my child?"

Lin Yi: "..."

How was this conclusion reached?

Besides, isn't your child still in your belly?

Lin Yi considered himself to be quite intelligent, but the current situation still left him completely bewildered.

This plot isn't going quite right!

Without waiting for his answer, the princess said confidently, "It seems you do know my child, and you have a close relationship with him. Can you tell me if my child is a boy or a girl?"

Lin Yi: "..."

He now truly felt as if he were talking to his bleak mother from the past. Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Lin Yi simply couldn't refuse her questions.

After all, she was Xiao Se's mother, and she hadn't spent much time with Xiao Se. Thinking of this, Lin Yi decisively replied, "Your son and I are sworn brothers. I am the eldest brother, and he is the second brother."

To be honest, when Lin Yi saw the princess, he sometimes wanted to discuss the matter with Xiao Se.

I call you brother, and you call me dad.

Of course, that was just a joke.

When the princess heard that Lin Yi and Xiao Se were brothers, her eyes lit up again. She eagerly asked, "Tell me quickly what kind of person he is, whether he is good-looking, and what his personality is like?"

"Him? He's..."

Lin Yi was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Not to mention how he so naturally revealed that he was her son's brother, which was contrary to his usual caution, the fact that this woman didn't doubt his lie at all when she heard that he and her son were brothers, but instead curiously inquired about her son's information.

Isn't there obviously something wrong with this?
