I just want to rob you of your luck

"What? Are you really pregnant?"

"What?! Concubine Lin is actually one month pregnant?"

Zhou Yichen and Hu Yunshao asked incredulously at the same time.

Zhou Yichen was so shocked that he almost jumped up. He and Lin Jiuer had never done anything together, so where did this child come from?

Hu Yunshao calculated the time. Doesn't that mean that the Seventh Prince had sex with Lin Jiuer as soon as he was rescued?

Thinking of this, her eyes instantly filled with tears.

This time I'm not acting, I'm really sad.

She looked at Zhou Yichen as if he was a heartless man, two lines of tears fell, sad and resentful.

"Your Highness, is this what you meant by never letting me down in this life?

When we got married, you said that your firstborn son would only come from me, but now you have made a concubine who just got married pregnant!"

Zhou Yichen hadn't recovered from the news that Lin Jiuer was pregnant, and was suddenly accused by Hu Yunshao, so his face looked a little ugly.

What the hell is going on? He looked at Lin Jiuer and saw her giving him a sly smile and blinking her big eyes a few times.

He immediately understood what she meant. He looked at Hu Yunshao with a bit of guilt. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Lin Jiuer say, "Oh, Princess, stop crying. You've put so much makeup on your face that you look like a living putty."

Hu Yunshao was just about to continue pretending to be pitiful, but when he heard this, his face froze and he quickly stopped crying and wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief. In order to pretend to be sick today, he had indeed put a lot of white powder on his face.

She was completely enraged by Lin Jiuer and glared at her: "Concubine Lin, don't think that I won't do anything to you just because you are pregnant. If you dare to commit treason again, I will never forgive you!"

Lin Jiuer shrank directly into Zhou Yichen's arms, pretending to be frightened.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that the princess consort is sick? Look how confident and fierce she is. I'm afraid. What if she scares the baby in her belly?"

Zhou Yichen almost laughed out loud. Jiuer’s acting was too exaggerated, but he liked it.

Hu Yunshao's face turned pale and blue, and he was speechless for a long time.

Lin Jiuer added: "Sister doesn't look well. I happen to know medical skills. Why don't I check her pulse? Don't delay the treatment."

Hu Yunshao was pretending to be sick, so he didn't dare to let her see him. He quickly refused and said, "I just caught a cold. I'm well now. I don't need Concubine Lin to worry about it."

Zhou Yichen seemed to have noticed something and looked at Hu Yunshao with an unhappy expression. What he meant was that you were pretending to be sick?

"Yun Shao, Jiu'er's pregnancy was an accident, but now she is pregnant with my first child. I hope you can be more tolerant of her.

After all, you are the child's legal mother. Jiu'er is straightforward. If she has offended you in any way, you should bear with her. It won't be too late to talk to her after she has safely given birth to the child."

Hu Yunshao looked at Zhou Yixuan's blatant favoritism, not giving her any face in front of so many servants.

Her face looked extremely ugly, and she suppressed her anger, thinking that since Zhou Yixuan was so ungrateful, she would go back to the general's mansion to complain.

Let daddy and brother give him a good beating, and then he will know who is the woman he should value.

At this time, Lin Jiuer smelled the chicken soup on the table, which had an abnormally sweet smell.

She raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Hu Yunshao was really pushed into a corner by her and actually wanted to use such despicable means to win favor?

She deliberately picked up the bowl of chicken soup and said, "Your Highness, I haven't had dinner yet. This chicken soup looks good. Why don't you feed me some?"

Zhou Yichen signaled to her with his eyes that there was something wrong with the chicken soup. He was afraid that Lin Jiuer would really have problems after drinking it.

Lin Jiuer naturally understood. When she said that, Hu Yunshao became anxious. If a pregnant woman like her drank the chicken soup, who knows what would happen.

If something happens to the baby in her belly, I will not be able to escape responsibility if the investigation continues.

She is not a fool. Even if she wants to deal with Lin Jiuer and the baby in her belly, she can't do it in front of Zhou Yixuan.

"Concubine Lin, there are some medicinal herbs added to this chicken soup. It's easy to get angry. You'd better not drink it."

Zhou Yichen pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Yun Shao, just now you tried your best to let me drink this chicken soup, why can't Jiuer drink it? Isn't I afraid of getting angry?"

Lin Jiuer looked at Hu Yunshao with a half-smile: "This chicken soup does taste unique. If Your Highness drinks it, he will probably be burning with desire. He won't be able to quench his rage unless he finds a woman to fight with all night."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cuiyun Courtyard fell silent.

Hu Yunshao's trick was exposed, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Zhou Yichen looked at Hu Yunshao with anger on his face.

"Hu Yunshao, what did you put in this chicken soup? Are you trying to drug me?"

Hu Yunshao hurriedly tried to deny it, but how could Lin Jiuer let her do as she wished?

"Your Highness, if you don't believe it, why not ask the imperial physician in the palace to come and check it out and you will know."

Hu Yunshao looked at Lin Jiuer's little mouth that was forcing her into a desperate situation, and the murderous intent in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Ah, sister, what's with that look in your eyes? It's so scary. I naturally don't believe that you would do such a despicable thing, but when I said that there was something wrong with the chicken soup, His Highness didn't believe it, so I had to ask the imperial physician to test it. This would also clear your name, right?"

After all, Hu Yunshao came from a noble family and was used to all kinds of situations, so he quickly calmed down.

She suppressed the jealousy in her eyes and took a few deep breaths.

Then he ordered the servants in the yard to leave with an expressionless face, intending to take responsibility for the matter.

Mingyue was her dowry maid and was loyal to her. Seeing that her master wanted to acknowledge her, she naturally stepped forward.

She quickly knelt in front of Zhou Yichen and kowtowed heavily to admit her mistake.

"Seventh Prince, the princess is innocent in this matter. It was my fault. The aphrodisiac was put into the chicken soup by me. It has nothing to do with the princess."

Lin Jiuer looked at Mingyue and sighed helplessly. She was indeed a loyal maid, but in her previous life, this maid was also an accomplice of the evildoer and helped Hu Yunshao bully the original owner.

It seems that this time I can only cut off Hu Yunshao's arm and collect some interest.

Hu Yunshao watched Mingyue take all the blame and was moved for a moment. Then he looked at Mingyue in shock and anger.

"Mingyue, you are so confused. How could you give His Highness this kind of medicine? It's because I indulged you too much that this disaster happened."

Hu Yunshao knelt beside Mingyue and said, "Your Highness, it is my fault that I did not manage the maids around me well. Please punish me."

Lin Jiuer curled her lips. She was smart. She went straight from being the mastermind of drugging to someone who failed to teach her servants well.

Zhou Yichen looked at the master and servant in front of him, and actually wished he could execute them both, but unfortunately he couldn't.

He looked at Mingyue with cold eyes: "This evil slave, who did such a thing behind the master's back, should have been beaten to death directly. Considering that she is your maidservant who came with your dowry, and that this prince did not drink the chicken soup and cause any adverse consequences, she shall be beaten with thirty strokes of the cane and expelled from the prince's mansion."

Mingyue was trembling with fear. Although she was spared the death penalty, her life or death would be in danger after the thirty strokes of the cane.

But she had no choice but to accept it. Soon, guards came and dragged Mingyue out for execution.

Hu Yunshao's eyes revealed a look of pity. She looked at Zhou Yixuan pitifully, waiting for his punishment.

"Yun Shao, this time it is indeed because you failed to manage the people around you well, so I will ground you for half a month as a warning to others."

Hu Yunshao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhou Yixuan still didn't dare to punish her severely for the sake of his father.

But she was also dissatisfied with Zhou Yixuan in her heart.

He had repeatedly lost face for Lin Jiuer, and this matter could not be let go. Otherwise, how would she manage the Seventh Prince's mansion and the rear quarters in the future?

After Zhou Yixuan finished dealing with things here, he took Lin Jiuer back to Qingzhuyuan.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask: "Jiu'er, you are not really pregnant, are you?"
