In the main hall, Zhao Tuo was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.

Jindou walked up to Concubine Ji, pulled up one of her arms, and then placed his fingers on her pulse.

"Let me go." Concubine Ji tried to pull her arm back, but when she struggled, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and she dared not move anymore.

Jing Yu had used a lot of force in that kick just now. Concubine Ji was delicate and frail, so she was seriously injured.

"Your Majesty, I have diagnosed that the imperial concubine is not pregnant at all," Jindou threw down Imperial Concubine Ji's arm and bowed to Emperor Wu Ren.

"What?" The person who was most surprised after hearing Jindou's words was none other than Zhao Tuo. He stared at Concubine Ji with a look of disbelief on his face.

At this moment, even Jing Yu was a little surprised. He had always been wondering whose child was in Concubine Ji's belly, but he never thought that Concubine Ji would fake a pregnancy.

"How dare you, Concubine Ji, deceive me!" After the Dragon Case, Emperor Wu Ren was furious when he heard what Jin Dou said.

"Your Majesty, I didn't do that. She's just talking nonsense!" Concubine Ji didn't dare to call Jindou a little bitch this time. If Jing Yu kicked her again, her life would probably be over.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician diagnosed me as pregnant right in front of you. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial physician to check me again!" Concubine Ji cried bitterly and begged Emperor Wu Ren repeatedly.

"This..." Emperor Wu Ren hesitated for a moment when he heard Concubine Ji's solemn words.

"Your Majesty," Jindou said, bowing again. "The Imperial Physician diagnosed Concubine Ji as pregnant because she had taken medication that could confuse her pulse. If we give her the hemp leaf medicine now, it will counteract the effects of the medication she previously took, and her true pulse will be revealed."

"Call the imperial physician!" Emperor Wu Ren immediately gave the order when he heard Jin Dou's words.

"You, you..." Concubine Ji knew that the fake pregnancy could no longer be concealed. She pointed at Jindou with her finger, and her eyes almost spitted fire.

"You bitch!" Zhao Tuo, who was pinned to the ground, finally understood that Concubine Ji had been using him all along, and immediately started cursing at her.

In the Empress's bedroom in the Central Palace, the Empress sat on a chair and said to Nanny Li standing beside her, "I never thought that Concubine Ji would dare to fake a pregnancy with a dragon descendant."

"Yes, your Majesty, Concubine Ji was given a white silk by the Emperor, which was what she deserved. And Lord Zhao, I heard that he has been imprisoned in the death row and will be executed in three days," said Nanny Li.

"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to the golden beans. If there weren't golden beans, I really don't know what would have happened in the end," the Queen murmured.

"Your Majesty, the prince risked his own life to save Jindou this time. You said it was a good thing that the injury was only on his arm. If it had been stabbed on his body, wouldn't it be..." Nanny Li was just filled with fear.

"I'm afraid my prince values ​​the golden beans more than his own life. If anything happens to the golden beans, my prince will probably not be able to survive," the Queen said softly.

"Then... Your Majesty, what do you think we should do now?" Nanny Li asked worriedly.

"This palace is also racking my brain right now." The Queen also had a worried look on her face. After thinking for a while, she continued, "In this palace's opinion, Miss Jindou probably has no romantic feelings for the Crown Prince."

"Then... what should we do? Your Majesty has to think of a solution. Now the Crown Prince has put all his attention on Miss Jindou, and I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction from the Crown Princess," said Nanny Li anxiously.

"I don't have any good ideas now. A few days ago, I told the prince to ask Jindou whether it would be a good idea to make her a concubine. But I think the prince feels that this would be unfair to Jindou," sighed the Queen.

"This..." After hearing what the Queen said, Nanny Li was at a loss for a moment.

In the side hall of the East Palace, Jing Yu was sitting on a chair. Jin Dou was standing in front of Jing Yu, holding Jing Yu's arm with one hand and removing his stitches.

Staring closely at Jindou's fair and delicate little hands, Jing Yu felt that every slight contact of those little hands on his arm would make his heart feel like a feather touching it, making him feel a wave of throbbing.

Gradually, Jing Yu felt himself getting hot and his breathing started to become heavy. He tried to calm himself down and thought of what his mother had said to him a few days ago, that she wanted Jindou to be her concubine. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Here, Jindou finally finished removing the stitches, straightened up, looked at the scar left on Jingyu's arm, and comforted him, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will prepare a scar removal and beauty product for you tomorrow, and I guarantee that there will be no scars left on your arm."

When Jing Yu heard what Jin Dou said, he laughed and said casually: "I am a grown man, what's there to be afraid of with a few scars?"

"That won't do." Jindou looked at Jingyu carefully and thought to himself, this prince's appearance is too perfect, we can't let such a perfect appearance have any flaws.

"Jindou" Jing Yu looked at Jindou and finally couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Can you stay in Yueguo instead of returning to Daqing?"

"How can that be?" Jindou also sat on the chair and said, "I will miss my grandmother and my family."

After hearing what Jindou said, Jing Yu felt a wave of loss and pain in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said, "You can stay in Yue State. Whenever you want to go back to Daqing, I will accompany you back."

"Accompany me back?" Jindou was stunned.

"Uh..." Jing Yu realized that he had just let something slip, and hurriedly covered it up: "I meant that I will send someone to send you back."

"Oh," Jindou nodded, blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. After I return to Daqing, I will come to see you and the Crown Princess often."

When Jing Yu heard Jin Dou mention the Crown Princess, his eyes couldn't help but darken. He didn't know why. The Crown Princess was obviously as beautiful as a fairy, and her personality was also gentle and considerate, but he just didn't feel anything.

During the wedding days, the two of them slept in the same bed, and he felt that he was just fulfilling his duties as a prince, and there was no excitement or happiness at all.

When he was with Jindou, even the smallest movement of Jindou would make him linger on it for a long time, not to mention how much he missed Jindou's every frown and smile.

But what should he do now? Looking at Jindou sitting opposite him, Jing Yu was troubled for a moment.
