A Blessing in Disguise
To Qiao Qiao, being pregnant again was undoubtedly a blessing from the heavens.
However, it had to be said that the timing of this pregnancy was a little too bad.
There were three unfavorable factors.
Firstly, her relationship with He Shaochen was still in a sensitive period and was highly valued by the people. If her pregnancy was exposed at this moment, her reputation would definitely plummet and it was possible that she would be directly eliminated. Secondly, in the battle for the throne, an assassination attempt like the last time by Isabelle could happen again. This would definitely be a fatal blow to Qiao Qiao who should be recuperating during her pregnancy. Thirdly, Qiao Qiao's special constitution was not suitable for pregnancy and if she was not careful, both mother and child would be in danger.
To be honest, when he found out that Qiao Qiao was pregnant, Adam even thought of directly aborting the child. However, he knew the importance of this child to Qiao Qiao, so even though he knew that the child could not be kept, he still could not bear to be ruthless.
"Lilith, now is not the best time to be pregnant." Adam sighed and spoke the truth.
Qiao Qiao also calmed down from her surprise and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Her hand subconsciously covered her stomach and said seriously: "No matter what, I must protect this child, absolutely!"
Adam saw the determination in Qiao Qiao's eyes. He smiled helplessly and said: "I knew you would say that."
"Adam …"
"Since it's the Little Highness, of course, you must protect it. However, before your pregnancy shows, this matter must be kept secret and must not be known to the outside world."
Qiao Qiao nodded and looked at Adam with expectant eyes: "This matter, can I tell Shaochen?"
Hearing this, Adam could not help but smile. Like a brother who loved his sister, he rubbed Qiao Qiao's head and said gently: "He is the child's father, right? There's no harm in telling him this matter, but he must also keep it a secret."
"Adam, thank you."
Qiao Qiao was touched.
This man had done too much for her.
"It's my honor to serve you."

The arrival of the child did not wash away the grief of Qiao Qiao's death, and the pile of work outside was still piling up. Qiao Qiao was still treading on thin ice.
Qiaoqiao immediately arranged for a press conference to be held regarding the matter of the maid being bullied and forced to her death. She made a statement regarding this matter.
At the press conference.
"Your Highness Lilith, is it true that you bullied the servants in the palace? Now that the citizens are talking about it, what do you think? "
Under the countless spotlights, Qiao Qiao was calm and composed.
She said, "I already know the ins and outs of this matter. My sister was instigated to do such a thing. Furthermore, she was killed last night."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"I have already filed this matter with the police. Someone with ulterior motives took advantage of my family to slander my reputation and even burned the bridge after crossing the river. I swear on the honor of Lilith Lamperdi Charlie that I will not let off the person who took advantage of my sister and caused her tragic death! Also, I want to make a statement. All the servants in the palace have undergone a physical examination. It is absolutely impossible for someone with heart disease to sneak in. The mysterious death of the servant was definitely not my sister's fault! "
"So, is this a well-planned conspiracy?" One of the reporters continued to ask.
This reporter was specially arranged by Adam to ask the questions that would benefit Qiao Qiao the most. Then, she would answer the questions and resolve the crisis.
"Whether it's a conspiracy or not, I think anyone with a discerning eye will be able to tell." Qiao Qiao smiled meaningfully.
The reporter began to jot down notes in his notebook. Then, he asked, "Your Highness Lilith, do you have any leads on the person with ulterior motives? Who do you think could be behind this? "
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. She looked at the camera and said word by word, "This matter is still under investigation. However, everyone can try to guess who would benefit the most from exposing this matter and ruining my reputation."
For this kind of matter, one could guess the reason even with their eyes closed.
Everyone knew that the two heirs to the throne of J Country were fighting fiercely for the throne. Qiao Qiao was being criticized, and this was definitely the most beneficial thing for Ravel.
Therefore, Qiao Qiao's words were obviously aimed at Ravel.
Everyone had a tacit understanding that Ravel would definitely be in the headlines tomorrow.
Qiao Qiao saw that the reporters in the press conference were beginning to stir. Her lips curved, and she knew that the direction of public opinion was beginning to change.
When the press conference ended, many reporters rushed up to ask her about her relationship with He Shaochen. However, Qiao Qiao brushed them all off. At this moment, the huge chandelier in the hall suddenly loosened and made a creaking sound.
The people below did not notice it.
A short reporter broke through the encirclement of the bodyguards and rushed in front of Qiao Qiao. The microphone was almost pressed against Qiao Qiao's face. Qiao Qiao was shocked. Adam was about to stop this person, but at this moment, the screw holding the chandelier in place could no longer bear the weight.
"Clatter!"
The chandelier fell!
Below it was the reporter who had just rushed in. Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the reporter lost his composure and froze on the spot, not daring to move. Just as the reporter was about to be hit by the chandelier, a nimble figure rushed up.
In the blink of an eye.
"Ahhh …"
"Oh my god!"
"Oh my god!"
Everyone exclaimed. Qiao Qiao pushed the reporter away, but she was pressed under the chandelier and could not move.
The blood on her forehead was even more shocking.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Qiao Qiao also fell into a coma and was immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Princess Lilith of the Royal Family was seriously injured in order to save the civilians and was still in a coma.
Similar slogans were everywhere, covering the previous negative news. The comments of the people were also one-sided. All of them were blessings for Qiao Qiao and hoped that she would wake up soon. Small gifts were sent to the hospital in an endless stream.
In today's news.
The footage captured by the reporter during the chaos was being broadcasted. The reporter rushed in regardless of dissuasion and was in danger. At the moment when the chandelier fell, Qiao Qiao did not hesitate to rush to the rescue. This video was forwarded by all the major websites. The number of views exceeded 100 million in just half an hour, and the comments were as high as 1 million. It immediately became the headlines of all the social media apps.
When Ravel saw this string of shocking figures, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth and he casually threw the report aside.
"Ah, this sister of mine is really blessed by the heavens. She could even encounter such a good thing. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?"
Lacey lowered her eyes and looked at the data report. She whispered, "Your Highness, in addition to the rise of Lilith's reputation, the doubts about you are also spreading. Many people are speculating whether we are the instigators of Qiao Hui's incident."
Ravel did not think much of it.
"So what if we are the instigators? If they have evidence, they can take it out. I, Ravel, am not afraid of trouble. Besides, Qiao Hui was not killed by us. Oh, to be honest, don't be fooled by Lilith's appearance. She is much more ruthless than us. She can even kill her own sister so cruelly. This is not something an ordinary person can do. "
Obviously, Ravel was certain that Qiao Qiao was the one who ordered Qiao Hui to be killed.
The conflict between the two continued to escalate. In the end, it was foreseeable that they would not be able to tolerate each other's deaths.
Lacey did not say anything. She lowered her eyes, and an unreadable look flashed across her eyes.
Royal Central Hospital.
Qiao Qiao was being closely watched. Her head had been stitched up a few times, and now she was wrapped in thick gauze. In fact, she was not seriously injured as the rumors said, but it was true that she had a concussion and needed to rest well.
"Hehe, Adam, don't put on such a scary expression."
As soon as Qiao Qiao woke up, she was reprimanded by Adam.
She could only accept it humbly like a primary school student who had made a mistake. At this time, all she had to do was admit her mistake.
When Adam saw that Qiao Qiao had admitted her mistake so quickly, it was as if he had punched cotton. It was extremely powerless.
He said helplessly, "Lilith, when will you think about your own safety?"
Qiao Qiao lowered her head and explained in a low voice, "But from the results, I did very well this time, didn't I? I successfully resolved the public relations crisis from before. "
Adam's dark red eyes flashed sharply.
Qiao Qiao kept quiet.
Okay, okay. She could not refute at this time. Anything she said would just be an excuse.
Late at night.
Qiao Qiao was not surprised to see He Shaochen.
When He Shaochen arrived, Qiao Qiao greeted him with a smile. She was about to tell him about her pregnancy, but in the end, he said, "Qiao Qiao, is your brain full of tofu?"
