After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

When everyone looked, they saw that the person was wearing the clothes of a maid.

The Queen slapped the chair and said, "Take them away. Are they all dead? Who dares to rush up and shout?"

"Empress, please spare my life. She is my maid Jinzhi." Shen Yunjin, who had been expressionless all the time, hurriedly protected Jinzhi.

"Your Majesty, Queen, the concubine is pregnant and cannot be beaten!"

Xiao Minshen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were full of surprise.

The queen's eyes were full of anger. "Who do you think you are? You said you were pregnant and it's like that? I'm going to beat you up today. Someone, come here!"

"Your Highness, how could a little maid like her be so bold as to lie to the Emperor and you? Aren't there two imperial doctors here? Wouldn't it be clear if they just check her pulse?"

Xiao Minshen narrowed his eyes slightly to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

"Doctor Li, go and take Concubine Shen's pulse." The emperor gave the order.

A maid brought the table and placed it in front of Shen Yunjin, and Shen Yunjin put his hand on it.

Doctor Li stretched out his hand to feel the patient's pulse, and stroked his beard with his other hand.

Soon, he withdrew his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is indeed pregnant, and the fetus is healthy and has been pregnant for more than two months."

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed, he patted Xiao Minshen on the shoulder.

"Old Five, you're going to be a father!"

The queen was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Concubine Shen was really lucky.

Lady Ning almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.

My younger sister just lost her child and was punished by being grounded.

However, the concubine had a child, and the child had a clear history with the emperor, so it was difficult for the emperor to do anything about it.

She didn’t know how Ning Ruyan would accept such a result after she found out.

"Even if she is pregnant, it is a fact that the blame is put on Anyang, and he must be punished." The queen did not want to let it go like this.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Shen Yunjin kowtowed to the emperor.

"This ornament has been held by the maidservant beside the princess since it entered the palace. At the end, the princess asked me to hold it up with her. I told her that this was not in accordance with the rules."

"But the princess insisted, and I had no choice but to hold the birthday gift. But when I got here, my eyes went dark and I fell down. Fortunately, Princess Anyang caught me. I am very grateful to the princess for saving my face and the heir to the throne."

"But, I really have no intention of putting the blame on the princess. I don't even know the princess, so how can I put the blame on her?"

Anyang thought about it. Shen Yunjin never told her who she was. It seemed that Shen Yunjin really didn't know her.

How could she know that Shen Yunjin had already seen her in this life.

Ever since she found out that Princess Anyang was the one who poisoned her in her previous life, Shen Yunjin set her eyes on her as soon as she entered the banquet hall.

Shen Yunjin knew that the fight between the Queen and Concubine Ning would definitely have the greatest impact on Anyang and Ning Ruyan.

She also saw the disgust in Princess Anyang's eyes when she saw Ning Ruyan.

Ning Ruyan asked her to go up with her temporarily, and she couldn't guess what Ning Ruyan was planning.

However, her intuition told her that there must be a ghost.

She then seized the opportunity, pretended to be dizzy and fell into Anyang's arms.

Ning Ruyan's subsequent actions shocked her, and she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she trusted her intuition.

Otherwise, the fifty strokes of the cane today would have killed her! Yes, and her child's life as well!

She always thought that as long as she didn't cause trouble and didn't get out of the spotlight, she would be safe.

It turned out that she had been living on the edge of a knife since the moment she stepped into the palace.

"Old Fifth, what do you think should be done?" the emperor asked with interest.

"Replying to Father, although Concubine Shen's action was unintentional, in order to prevent people from making comments, I will punish Concubine Shen by confining her to her house for a month."

Xiao Minshen lowered his eyes, without a trace of emotion.

"Okay, let's do as Lao Wu said. This matter is over now, and no one is allowed to bring up the past."

The emperor's words were golden, and everyone thanked him.

"Alright, Old Five, hurry up and take your concubine back home and take good care of her. I'm waiting to have a grandson. You're the only one among the brothers who doesn't have a child!"

"Doctor Li, you are responsible for Concubine Shen's pulse for the past few months. If there is any mistake, I will hold you accountable."

"Thank you, father." Xiao Minshen raised his eyebrows and saluted the emperor sincerely.

Xiao Minshen's face had been gloomy since he left the palace, and he was filled with hostility.

Shen Yunjin followed behind without saying a word until he got on the palace's carriage.

"My Lord, are you angry with me?"

Xiao Minshen glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

Shen Yunjin licked his lips unconsciously and spoke with difficulty.

"I am really dizzy. I don't mean to put the blame on Princess Anyang."

“When did you know?”

Just as Shen Yunjin was racking his brains to think of how to explain, Xiao Minshen suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Shen Yunjin was stunned. What? When?

"Pregnancy? When did it happen?" Xiao Minshen knocked on the table.

"Oh, I don't know if I'm pregnant, but Jinzhi reminded me that I haven't changed clothes for a while."

"My menstruation has always been irregular, and I was busy traveling last month, so I thought it was just delayed..."

The more Shen Yunjin spoke, the darker Xiao Minshen's face became.

She didn't know what she said wrong, and her voice got lower and lower.

"Do you think that I can't protect you?" Xiao Minshen said with a gloomy face.

If Ning Ruyan succeeded in her scheme today, Shen Yunjin would not be alive anymore? Moreover, she was pregnant with his child!

After hearing this, Shen Yunjin stared blankly at Xiao Minshen opposite him.

Although the man opposite had a gloomy face, his eyes were full of concern and a hint of hurt.

In his previous life, Shen Yunjin was used to solving everything on his own.

Because there is no one behind her to rely on.

Even her husband depends on her to get him more opportunities.

In this life, there are many people she wants to protect, and now, there is another child.

People who have been betrayed will never dare to trust others easily again.

She was indeed not used to putting her fate in the hands of others.

She reached out her hand, hooked Xiao Minshen's little finger, and shook it in a flattering manner.

"Your Highness is right. It is my fault. I will definitely change."

Xiao Minshen took Shen Yunjin's hand in his palm.

You lying little goblin, one day you will trust me wholeheartedly, he thought.

As the lights came on, Ning Ruyan, who had fainted, finally woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Concubine Ning sitting next to her.

"Sister..." She couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, okay, you can't cry now. Take good care of yourself. You can still have children."

Concubine Ning wiped Ning Ruyan's tears with a handkerchief.

"Sister, what happened afterwards? Was Concubine Shen beaten to death?" Ning Ruyan asked.
