The doctor came soon.

At the Queen's instruction, he took Fang Ruoruo's pulse.

The whole hall was waiting for the result of the pulse diagnosis. After a long time, the imperial physician finally let go of Fang Ruoruo's wrist, turned around, bowed to the emperor and the empress, and said:

"Your Majesty, Madam, Miss Fang is pregnant for over a month."

These words were undoubtedly like a bomb dropped on the scene, and the hall suddenly became noisy.

"The Miss Fang is pregnant? Isn't she still married?"

"It was a private gift! Alas, the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery really didn't teach their daughter well enough to do such a shameful thing! Fortunately, they don't have other daughters, otherwise their reputation would be affected!"

"I don't know who this adulterer is."

"They are just those few who have been close to Miss Fang since she was a child."

……

Facing the whispers of the ladies, Mrs. Fang was furious and slammed the table like a madman:

"Impossible! You must have misdiagnosed my pulse! Ruoruo has been obedient since she was young, careful with her words and actions, and has never overstepped the boundaries. How could she be pregnant before she even got married? Doctor Song, have you been bribed by someone to frame my Ruoruo?"

Doctor Song was an old man with gray hair and beard. Hearing this, he got angry:

"Humph! I have been on duty at the Imperial Hospital for more than 30 years. I am deeply trusted by His Majesty and never have private relations with anyone. Madam Fang, you have to provide evidence when you speak in front of His Majesty!"

Things had come to this point, and the palace banquet was completely ruined.

Now everyone is investigating who Fang Ruoruo's adulterer is. Who is worthy of her willingness to have an affair without a matchmaker and get pregnant before marriage!

As the mother of a country, the Queen should naturally come forward to deal with such matters, so she asked:

"Miss Fang, have you encountered any difficulties? Has anyone forced you or hurt you? If you have any suffering, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."

Nowadays, a woman's reputation is very important, especially for those ladies from prominent families like them.

If she had not been threatened or forced, it would be hard to imagine that Fang Ruoruo, a girl who was brought up with great care, would do such a shameful thing with a man before she even got married.

Therefore, the Queen would rather believe that Fang Ruoruo was the victim.

Fang Ruoruo was a little nervous being stared at by so many people, but when she thought about the future, she made up her mind.

She lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and cried:

"No one forced me, I did it voluntarily, but I won't tell who that person is. I know I did such a shameful thing, which brought shame to my family and my parents. I am willing to die to atone for my sin!"

After saying this, Fang Ruoruo pulled out a hairpin from her head and stabbed it hard into her heart.

It was obvious from the look on his face that he had used ruthless force.

"Stop her!" the Queen ordered hurriedly, fearing that someone would die at the year-end palace banquet.

She was the one who organized the palace banquet. Even if Fang Ruru committed suicide and it had nothing to do with her, it was still within her scope of responsibility.

The people standing near Fang Ruoruo, hearing the Queen's order, were about to step forward to stop them, but they saw a figure rushing over quickly and holding Fang Ruoruo's hand.

"Ruoruo, don't be silly!" It was the third prince.

When Fang Ruoruo saw him, she quickly pushed him away and cried:

"What does it have to do with you? Let me die! Everyone will be better off if I die!"

When the Third Prince saw Fang Ruoruo's determination, he immediately made up his mind, hugged her, and said to the Emperor, the Empress, and the Consort: "The child in Ruoruo's belly is mine!"

After the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Concubine Shu seemed to have not expected this. She widened her eyes, breathed rapidly, and pointed at the Third Prince:

"You... evil boy! What nonsense are you talking about!"

The Third Prince didn't know if he was provoked by Fang Ruoruo, but he showed his toughness for once and said:

"I'm not talking nonsense! After I came back from my mission, I met Ruoruo in private on a pleasure boat in the middle of the lake. We drank too much and got married!"

"I am responsible for my own actions. I failed to control myself. It has nothing to do with Ruoruo!"

After he finished speaking, Fang Ruoruo pulled his sleeve and cried:

"Your Highness, why are you so stupid? If I die, everything will be over, and Your Highness won't have to bear the blame. Isn't that great? Your Highness is so confused!"

The Third Prince felt distressed when he saw Fang Ruoruo's tearful face:

"Ruoruo, you are the stupidest one."

"In order not to implicate me, you didn't dare tell anyone that you were pregnant, let alone tell me. When someone found out, you didn't tell me either. You just wanted to use your own death to hide it all."

"But Ruoruo, how can I watch you die? What's more, you are pregnant with my child!"

Fang Ruoruo threw herself into the Third Prince's arms, crying and complaining:

"Your Highness..."

The entire hall, including all the civil and military officials, was forced to watch the touching love story between the Third Prince and Fang Ruoruo.

The Emperor's face was gloomy, the Empress's expression was full of surprise, and Concubine Shu was about to faint.

At this moment, Fang Zhenghua came out and scolded Fang Ruoruo:

"You rebellious girl, you have done such a shameful thing, and you still dare to associate with the Third Prince! Your father gives you two choices, either die, or give birth to your child with a bowl of red flowers, become a monk, and live out your remaining life with green lamps and ancient Buddhas!"

"Your Highness is of noble status, and you deserve a better match than you can wish for!"

After Fang Zhenghua finished speaking, the Third Prince retorted:

"Lord Zhongyong, do you want to harm my offspring? If Ruoruo doesn't choose either of the two paths you mentioned, I will marry her!"

"There is no other good match. Ruoruo and I have been childhood sweethearts. She is the woman I love most in my life. I beg your Majesty to make the decision and grant us a marriage!"

With a bang, Concubine Shu could no longer hold on and fainted.

Shi Lidie looked at this scene and smiled secretly:

The plot has gone off track again!

In the original plot, Concubine Shu really likes her daughter-in-law Fang Ruoruo!

But Shi Lidie could also understand.

Because Fang Ruoruo in the original work has always been a simple, kind, innocent and pure image, elegant and holy, with a great reputation, like a fairy who is not tainted by the dust.

That's why Concubine Shu was willing to accept this daughter-in-law.

But now, ever since Shi Lidie came to Beijing, Fang Ruoruo's image has been destroyed, her mask has been torn to pieces, and she is no longer qualified to become the prince's principal wife.

But what made Shi Lidie sigh was that Fang Ruoruo actually took a different approach and had the third prince's child.

More importantly, Fang Ruoruo was cautious at every step.

First, she took a step back in order to advance, and repeatedly said that she would not pester the Third Prince, thus arousing his sympathy and becoming his wife.

Secondly, after the fetus is stable, reveal it in front of everyone so that there is no room for concealment.

Finally, he pretended to commit suicide, under the pretext of not implicated the Third Prince, which made the Third Prince feel extremely guilty. Finally, he could not hold back and took the initiative to step forward and admit the incident.

During the entire process, Fang Ruru never forced the Third Prince to say a word.

But the result was that she destroyed the marriage agreement verbally agreed upon between the Third Prince and the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion; she won herself an opportunity to marry into the Third Prince's Mansion; and she also grasped the Third Prince's psychology and made him happy to accept it.
