The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

As if seeing her confusion, Qi Junyi squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "She is indeed pregnant, but it's not mine."

It’s just not mine...

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but in the empty hall, it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Lady Zhao, who was kneeling slowly to pay her respects, suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face turning pale in an instant.

The uneasy heart that had been in my heart since I became pregnant finally settled down at this moment.

The emperor actually knew.

She was right to suspect.

I really have never served in bed.

Her mind collapsed in an instant, and Lady Zhao, whose family's honor and disgrace depended on herself, did not dare to be afraid for too long. She quickly came to her senses and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I know I deserve death, but my parents and my clan are unaware of this. Your Majesty, please punish me alone and don't harm the Zhao family."

In the huge hall, a concubine who was dressed calmly and respectably turned pale as a ghost and burst into tears.

begging for mercy.

Qi Junyi let her beg for a while, and when she calmed down, he asked, "Whose child is this in your belly?"

Which is more important, family or lover?

Concubine Zhao hesitated for only a moment, then she rubbed her belly and kowtowed, saying, "I dare not deceive Your Majesty. He is my cousin."

She told the story of her secret love for her cousin.

His words were full of regret.

In addition, how could she escape the inspection of the palace maids when she was not a virgin, and how she felt something was wrong when she was sleeping with the emperor.

Speak out one by one.

For more than six months, she has been living in fear every day.

Sometimes I think the child must be the emperor's.

After all, how could it be false that the emperor visited his concubines?

She must have been in bed with him.

As for why she was not feeling unwell, she found many reasons to comfort herself.

Sometimes he suspected that the child was his cousin's.

If this is the case, once the crime of confusing the royal heir is exposed, it doesn't matter if she dies.

I'm afraid of becoming a sinner of the family.

At the end of her speech, Concubine Zhao began to kowtow and apologize again.

Inside the palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs retreated to the corners without leaving any trace.

He was afraid that he would catch the eye of the superiors and be the target of their wrath.

At the top, Jiang Lingyue was stunned.

Even though she had been shocked many times today, she was still so shocked that her jaw dropped.

She blinked and couldn't help but said, "You are no longer a virgin. Even if you pass the inspection of the maids when entering the palace as a concubine, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out when you sleep with him?"

"..." Concubine Zhao looked ashamed. "My cousin's family is very wealthy in Jiangnan. They have a secret recipe."

She spoke vaguely.

Jiang Lingyue also understood most of it.

In the prosperous Jiangnan region, there are countless famous prostitutes in the red-light districts who claim to sell their art but not their bodies, and skinny horses are also popular there.

It’s not surprising to have recipes for this purpose.

Even if she loses her virginity and receives customers, it will not affect her ability to be sold at a good price.

Similarly, if a noble person takes a fancy to you, a pure body is more likely to be favored for a long time.

At this time, the virtuous concubine who was changing clothes in the side hall came out.

Seeing this scene in the hall, he was shocked and frightened.

There was a rumbling in her head, as if she had been enlightened. Almost instantly, she understood why the emperor had let her fake a pregnancy.

It turned out that the child in Concubine Zhao's belly was not your Majesty's.

She was destined to lose this pregnancy.

Even if you are born safely, you will still die.

One body, two lives is her best fate.

Your Majesty is still young, so there is no need to rush if you have no children.

But if something like this happened in the harem, the court and the country would definitely be shocked.

She conceived this pregnancy just to give him some peace of mind and to stabilize the government.

But why...why do we need a fake pregnancy?

There are two pregnant concubines, neither of whom is your Majesty's...

Did her Majesty really...really have the concubines?

The virtuous concubine stared at the person above her in a daze.

The young emperor slowly held the hand of the girl beside him and asked something in a low voice.

Her eyes and eyebrows are gentle, full of tenderness.

This is definitely not the look a man with a problem with his offspring or a physical illness would have.

If he really had never...

It's ridiculous.

Qi Junyi summoned them here just to let Jiang Lingyue witness and hear his innocence with her own eyes, but he had no intention of clearing up the doubts of other women.

Concubine Zhao has explained everything clearly, and Concubine Xian's fake belly has been taken off.

He gently asked the girl next to him, "Do you have any questions for them?"

“…” Jiang Lingyue shook her head slowly.

Qi Junyi smiled, waved his hand, and told Liu Rong, "Everyone, leave."

"All" refers not only to the two concubines kneeling in the hall, but also to the palace maids serving on their left and right.

Soon, the palace door slowly closed.

Qi Junyi asked, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Jiang Lingyue looked at him, "You...you..."

She hesitated to speak, her eyes full of complexity.

Qi Junyi's face gradually darkened as he watched, "I am in good health."

Jiang Lingyue smiled stiffly.

I don’t know whether I believe it or not.

Qi Junyi chuckled, pinched her waist and held her in his arms, saying with a smile: "If you are willing, I will prove it to you now."

As he spoke, he thought of the girl who had already had sex with someone else.

She and Chen Ziwei were a couple in name only for two years.

...Will she compare him with Chen Zihui?

She dares!

Jiang Lingyue discovered that the man who had been calm and composed just now, had no idea what he was thinking. His pupils suddenly turned red and he stared at her fiercely.
