"Zhao family..." Qi Junyi lowered his eyes and repeated it in a low voice, then chuckled, "Who knows? Probably not."

As for why it is "probably", we can only say that no matter how clean the evidence is that the Zhao family is ignorant, the matter of confusing the royal bloodline is too serious. As an emperor, he cannot let it go without any suspicion.

Qi Junyi patiently explained the confusion to the girl in his arms, "It doesn't matter whether the person in charge of the Zhao family knows about it or not. After all, he was the one who sent the person here. The Zhao family cannot be freed from responsibility for the crimes he committed."

Jiang Lingyue was stunned when she heard this and asked softly, "What are you going to do?"

What are you going to do?

Qi Junyi smiled and put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't tell me you're feeling sorry for me again."

"no!"

Cuckolding the emperor and intending to confuse the royal bloodline is a serious crime enough to punish the entire family.

Jiang Lingyue was not so confused. She said seriously, "No matter how you deal with the Zhao family, it is all right."

How strange it was that this girl didn't contradict him. Qi Junyi felt a little warm in his heart.

"What will become of the Zhao family depends on what Lady Zhao does," he said, patting the little girl's head in his arms. "As long as she dares to ensure the safe birth of her child, the entire Zhao clan will go and accompany her and her child on their journey."

Qi Junyi didn't believe that a sixteen-year-old girl could lose her virginity before marriage, get pregnant, and frame the emperor without anyone's help.

Even if the Zhao family has indeed made the evidence of ignorance clear, it is unreasonable to have murderous intentions when the emperor is humiliated.

Qi Junyi was too lazy to find out whether the Zhao family knew about it or not.

He only knew that as long as Concubine Zhao dared to give birth to that child of unknown bloodline, the entire family would have to wash their necks and wait.

The Zhao family has been passed down for a hundred years, and has flourished. The total number of the clan and collateral branches is at least 1,800 people...

Jiang Lingyue carefully recalled what Concubine Zhao had said and done during this period.

Suddenly I thought of that day when I was on the observation deck and almost stepped on empty air.

If she hadn't been quick to catch herself, Lady Zhao would have probably rolled down the stairs...

Jiang Lingyue sucked in a breath of cold air, her face full of fear.

Noticing that something was wrong with her, Qi Junyi tightened his arms and asked, "What's wrong?"

"She...she never intended to give birth to the child,"

Jiang Lingyue told him everything that happened that day, and then said, "It's been the same these past few days. She's about to give birth, but she insists on coming here every day with a big belly. Is she trying to frame me?"

Finally figured it out!

After going around in circles, the Emperor, who only wanted to remind his beloved, sighed deeply, "You said you looked quite smart on weekdays, but how could you not be on guard against her strange words and actions?"

"How can you blame me for this!"

Jiang Lingyue was also unconvinced, "I didn't know she wasn't carrying your child, and how could I have imagined that she would want to frame me even without the heir to the throne."

Before today, she firmly believed that Concubine Zhao was pregnant with the Emperor's first child.

What does it mean that a mother is honored by her son?

There is no better example than this.

It can be said that as long as Concubine Zhao gives birth to the child safely and as long as the Zhao family does not commit treason, this royal heir will be enough to ensure her wealth and prosperity for the rest of her life.

No matter who you are, you will try your best to protect the fetus and give birth safely, right?

Even if she was full of tricks, she could never have imagined that Concubine Zhao's child was not the royal heir.

"What's more, Concubine Zhao was indeed dead in her previous life, and not a single incident has come to light," Jiang Lingyue was startled. "She died on the delivery bed, is..."

"No one took action," Qi Junyi said calmly, "Maybe they were frightened all day and scared themselves to death."

Giving birth is a difficult process for women. She was worried and anxious throughout her pregnancy and was unable to give birth safely...

She died on the delivery bed, but in public, she saved the lives of the entire Zhao family.

Suppression will only lead to finding other excuses.

Qi Junyi said: "She is about to give birth, so you should be more careful during this period and have less contact with her."

Jiang Lingyue nodded obediently.

Yes.

Who knows if she is planning to frame me again.

Thinking of that high step, I almost missed a step...

Even if a strong woman rolled down there, she would probably lose half her life.

Not to mention the delicate body and the pregnant woman with twins.

Really ruthless.

Be ruthless to your enemies and even more ruthless to yourself.

Knowing the face but not the heart.

Jiang Lingyue could never have imagined that Concubine Zhao, who was so submissive to the point of being cowardly, was so cruel at heart.

And she was almost accused of murdering the royal heir.

The girl in his arms had a pale face, which made Qi Junyi feel distressed and amused. "Where is your usual courage?"

How arrogant in front of him.

She is the only one in the world who dares to scold him.

She was the only one who dared to torture him, leave him alone, and ridicule him.

She was so bold that she dared to use him as a relief tool.

How come he is now so frightened by a frame-up that he has already avoided?

"Don't be afraid," he smiled and kissed her ear, coaxing her, "I'm here to protect you. I can't let you suffer injustice under my nose."

The gentle and indulgent low voice sounded in her ears, like the tip of a delicate pen, gently sweeping across her heart.

Jiang Lingyue felt her heart suddenly shrink, and then began to beat wildly and uncontrollably.

The man in front of me must have learned skills from some famous teacher. Now he can say all kinds of seductive love words at will.

Where is the cool breeze, bright moon, and aloof and cold look?

There is no girl who doesn't like to be protected unconditionally.

There is no girl who doesn't like to hear sweet words.

It's normal for her to react.

Just like the remaining medicinal effects of the Blood Ginseng.

What she liked was his gentle and patient kisses.

It doesn't mean anything else.

Jiang Lingyue tried hard to ignore the throbbing in her heart and asked in a nitpicking tone, "If that child is really yours, and she used the child to frame me, can you still trust me?"

What he meant by trust, wasn't it the 'trust' he gave her because he was in control of the overall situation, knew the truth early on, and knew that she was wronged?

If a real misunderstanding occurs that he is not aware of, his trust will be gone.

Wasn’t that the case in the previous life?

Qi Junyi frowned slightly when he heard this, "The child can't be mine."

He didn't accept the 'if'.

This brought the topic back to the beginning.

Jiang Lingyue suddenly realized what was happening and stared at him blankly.

It was rare that Qi Junyi felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him.

"You..." Jiang Lingyue looked at him seriously for a long time, and opened her mouth with difficulty, "Why didn't you touch them?"

If none of Concubine Zhao's children are his, then the truth may be as he said.

He didn't touch any of the concubines in the harem.

It's really a big joke in the world.

And there is Concubine Xian. If he has never touched Concubine Xian, then whose child is the eldest prince?

The child grew up to be four years old and was doted on.

He can't be an illegitimate child with an unknown father, right?

He's crazy?
