In the Kingdom of Yue, in the palace of Concubine Ji.

Late at night, Concubine Ji was alone in her bedroom, pacing back and forth restlessly, glancing toward the window from time to time.

Not long after, the window was opened and the masked man slipped in again.

When Concubine Ji saw him, she hurried over and asked anxiously, "How is it going? How is the situation over there?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly issued an order, saying that the Emperor was seriously ill, and asked me to be on duty in the palace these days. So I have no idea what the situation is like in the mansion," said the masked man with a frown.

"Has the Crown Prince noticed something?" Concubine Ji said uneasily. "These past few days, I went to the Emperor's palace, but was stopped by the eunuchs at the door. They said the Crown Prince had ordered that the Emperor was seriously ill and no one was allowed to disturb him for the next few days."

"That shouldn't be the case. Maybe the emperor is really dying now?" the masked man said uncertainly.

"You'd better leave quickly. The prince has been in the palace these days and many guards have been sent. We'd better be careful," Concubine Ji urged the masked man.

"Wait, let me feel the baby to see if he is okay," the masked man said, placing his hand on Concubine Ji's belly.

Just as Concubine Ji was about to push the masked man's hand away, she heard the door of the room slam open and was kicked open by someone. Crown Prince Jingyu walked in with a large number of guards.

"Lord Zhao really misses his child," Jing Yu laughed as he watched the masked man hurriedly take his hand away from Concubine Ji's belly.

"You...how do you know..." Zhao Tuo looked at Jing Yu who was coming towards him and took a few steps back in panic.

"Lord Zhao, you want to ask how I knew this, right?" Jing Yu sneered, "Does Lord Zhao really think that his Qinggong skills are so superb that he can move in and out of the place as if no one is around?"

"You..." Zhao Tuo pointed at Jing Yu with a shocked look on his face.

"Take him away!" Jing Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense. He waved his hand backwards and a group of guards swarmed forward.

How could Zhao Tuo surrender himself? With a "swish", he drew the sword from his waist.

"Sir Zhao, if you resist today, I will definitely exterminate your entire clan!" Jing Han shouted coldly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tuo's body trembled, and he slowly lowered his raised arm. Seeing this, the guards immediately surrounded him and dragged him out.

Jing Yu took another look at Concubine Ji, who had already collapsed on the ground in fear, and waved his hand in disgust: "Take her away!"

******

In the palace hall, Emperor Wu Ren sat at the top, and Jin Dou stood beside him. Jing Yu, who was standing next to Jin Dou, waved to the guards at the hall door and said, "Bring them up!"

Soon, Concubine Ji and Zhao Tuo were brought up.

When Concubine Ji and Zhao Tuo knelt on the ground and looked at Emperor Wu Ren sitting on the dragon throne, they both widened their eyes in disbelief as if they had seen a ghost.

"Noble Concubine Ji, I treated you like this, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel and want to harm me!" Emperor Wu Ren pointed at Noble Concubine Ji and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent." Concubine Ji knew that the truth had been revealed. To protect herself, she pointed at Zhao Tuo and said, "Your Majesty, these things were done by Lord Zhao. I have nothing to do with them!"

When Zhao Tuo heard Concubine Ji say this, he wanted to argue, but then he looked at Concubine Ji's belly and finally closed his mouth without saying a word.

Emperor Wu Ren, who was sitting at the head of the table, slammed the table again in anger: "How dare you! You two have been caught in the act, and you still dare to quibble!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I did nothing wrong. This Lord Zhao has always coveted my beauty. Whenever he meets me in the palace, he would try to flirt with me. I have always kept my distance from him. I never expected that he would sneak into my room last night. I refused to obey him at that time, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Ji blamed everything on Zhao Tuo and cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

"This..." Emperor Wu Ren couldn't help but hesitate again when he heard what Concubine Ji said.

"Sir Zhao, is what Concubine Ji said true?" Jing Yu asked Zhao Tuo at this time.

"This..." Zhao Tuo glanced at Concubine Ji's belly and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, everything Concubine Ji said is true. This attempt to murder Your Majesty was all planned by me and has nothing to do with Concubine Ji."

Concubine Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Zhao Tuo said.

Seeing Zhao Tuo constantly looking at Concubine Ji's belly, Jing Yu couldn't help but sneer, "Master Zhao, are you taking on all the responsibilities just to protect your child?"

When Zhao Tuo heard Jing Yu's words, his face turned pale.

"Child, whose child?" Emperor Wu Ren slammed the table and asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the baby in my belly is a dragon descendant," Concubine Ji said, pointing at Jing Yu and crying to Emperor Wu Ren, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince must be afraid that I am pregnant with a dragon descendant and it will threaten his position as Crown Prince, so he deliberately slandered me. Please, Your Majesty, help me."

"The Imperial Concubine has a really good and eloquent mouth." Jing Yu sneered and was about to say something else when he heard Jindou who had been standing next to him suddenly say, "Wait a minute... wait a minute."

In the palace, Concubine Ji and Zhao Tuo had not noticed Jindou at all before, but now when they heard Jindou's voice, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to Jindou.

Jindou was just standing by and became more and more confused by what the people behind him said. Finally, he couldn't help but make a sound.

"Your Majesty," Jindou walked to the front and carefully examined Concubine Ji before bowing and saying to Emperor Wu Ren in front of him, "I just heard that it seemed like you were talking about the Concubine being pregnant with a dragon descendant, but from what I see in her face, she doesn't look like someone who is pregnant."

"What?" Everyone in the hall, except Concubine Ji, was shocked!

"You...how dare you talk nonsense!" Concubine Ji pointed at the golden bean and shouted, "I'm pregnant with a dragon child. How dare you talk nonsense!"

"Your Majesty, whether the imperial concubine is pregnant with the dragon heir or not, I can tell the truth by taking her pulse," Jindou said again with a bow.

The “bold” Concubine Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly shouted at Jindou, and then said: “I am the Concubine, how can you question me!

After saying these words, Concubine Ji turned her face towards Emperor Wu Ren and cried out, "Your Majesty, the fact that I am pregnant with the Dragon Offspring was diagnosed by the palace physician. You heard it with your own ears at that time."

After saying this, she pointed at Jindou and said, "Your Majesty, this little bitch must have been called by the prince to collude with him to slander me..."

Before Concubine Ji could finish her words, Jing Yu came up and kicked her hard.

Concubine Ji screamed "Ah" and was kicked heavily to the ground by Jing Yu!
