As soon as the words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!

"What! Are you really pregnant?"

"Then this child..."

The emperor slammed the table in anger.

A loud bang made the entire Taiming Hall silent.

He asked the doctor in a serious tone: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Jiang Ningwan is pregnant?"

"Hasn't she taken the Gold Condensing Formula? Not to mention the King of Chu..."

I really can't understand how Jiang Ningwan could be pregnant!

The imperial physician was sweating profusely. "I am sure that I have made no mistake. This is a pregnancy pulse!"

"As for the Gold Condensation Formula, there's a chance it might be ineffective."

"But King Chu...I...don't know..."

This undoubtedly confirmed that Jiang Ningwan's child could not be the King of Chu's.

To cause such a scandal in front of the Prince of Dayan is simply a loss of face.

The Queen pretended to be kind and said, "Send two more doctors to take the pulse to avoid mistakes!"

Two more imperial physicians came, but they were still not Imperial Physician Xu and Imperial Physician Zhang.

After taking Jiang Ningwan's pulse one after another, they all had the same reaction and the same result.

"Your Majesty, General Jiang is indeed pregnant!"

When these words were spoken, the emperor became furious.

His face was so gloomy as if he wanted to kill someone, and he looked at Jiang Ningwan with disappointment.

"Jiang Ningwan, how do you explain this? Whose child is this?!"

Jiang Ningwan nervously grasped her sleeves and stood up, "Your Majesty..."

Her hesitation made her look even more suspicious.

Lu Qingheng sneered: "Things have come to this, isn't it clear yet? This child is a bastard."

"I heard from soldiers in the army that they had seen General Jiang in Chunyu Tower before, hanging out with a strange man, hugging him. I didn't believe it at the time."

"I said they must have the wrong person."

"Calculating the time, it's been exactly two months since the incident at Chunyu Tower."

"This evil child must have been conceived at that time."

Lu Qingheng's words caused everyone in the hall to talk about it.

The emperor's face became even uglier after hearing this.

The Queen said coldly, "Jiang Ningwan dared to do something so disrespectful to the royal family. I will not let her off lightly!"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, I should be put to death! To correct the morale!"

Jiang Ningwan's heart tightened and she clenched her sleeves.

I don’t know why the Queen Mother hasn’t come yet.

She had already hinted to Xiao Lan to go to Shouchun Palace.

Just as the emperor was about to make a decision, Qin Beihuang became nervous. He stared at Jiang Ningwan's figure, not understanding why she didn't speak.

As long as he says the child is his, he has a chance to save his life.

Seeing that the emperor was about to give an order.

Qin Beihuang stood up suddenly in a fit of impulsiveness, "Your Majesty, the child is..."

"The child is mine!"

At the same time, a clear and cold voice came from outside the hall.

It shocked everyone.

Turning around, he saw the King of Chu walking slowly towards him in a black robe.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

That’s the King of Chu!

He stood up!

Many people present had never seen the King of Chu without a wheelchair, and at this moment they felt extremely unfamiliar.

Although his legs and feet were still not very convenient, the murderous aura on his body was already frightening people. At this moment, everyone remembered the name of the Northern God of War.

Even the emperor's expression changed, and he looked at the figure in disbelief.

The King of Chu stepped forward slowly and bowed respectfully, "Brother, the child is mine."

"Ning Wan didn't do anything to offend me!"

At this moment, the emperor had already forgotten about Jiang Ningwan and looked at him in shock. "Sixteen, is your leg... okay?"

Qin Shuangchi nodded, "Yes, I can stand up now."

"But the walking time can't be too long."

Upon hearing this, the emperor quickly ordered Eunuch Hai: "Quickly, grant him a seat!"

Qin Shuangchi did not sit down, but looked at Jiang Ningwan on the ground.

The emperor then spoke: "Jiang Ningwan, you should get up too."

Qin Shuangchi helped her up, and they both stepped aside and sat down.

"When did your leg get better?"

Qin Shuangchi replied: "Ning Wan cured it, and he was able to get up recently."

Hearing this, the Emperor smiled. "I underestimated Jiang Ningwan. So many famous doctors back then couldn't cure your leg, but Jiang Ningwan actually did it!"

"Since your leg has healed and Jiang Ningwan is pregnant, why didn't you tell me?"

When Jiang Ningwan heard this, she felt something was wrong. The emperor didn't seem so happy.

The queen felt depressed and could not accept that the child was the King of Chu's.

"Yes, it was common knowledge that Jiang Ningwan had taken the Ningjin Formula. Even the King of Chu's leg had healed, but he kept it a secret. Could it be that the King of Chu forced himself to take the child in order to save face? This is a heinous crime of deceiving the king."

At this moment, a figure slowly walked in from outside the hall, and a deep voice came -

"It was Ai Jia who told them not to tell."

When the Queen Mother arrived, everyone bowed to her.

The emperor stepped forward and helped the empress dowager to her seat, and the empress retreated to the side.

"What do you mean, mother? Do you know that Jiang Ningwan is pregnant?"

The Queen Mother nodded. "They both often come to Shouchun Palace to pay their respects. I know their situation very well."

"Sixteen's leg is gradually healing, thanks to Jiang Ningwan."

"Jiang Ningwan is pregnant. I've known about it for a long time, but the first few months are very important. I was afraid that the child would be harmed, so I asked them to keep it a secret."

"If there is any crime of deceiving the emperor, I will bear it!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor quickly said: "Mother, what are you talking about? This is a good thing that comes in pairs. How can you say that you are deceiving the emperor?"

"It seems like this is a misunderstanding."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan felt relieved.

However, she still turned to look at Qin Shuangchi in confusion, with some worry in her eyes.

The Queen Mother had indeed been informed of the pregnancy and had been invited tonight, but Qin Shuangchi's arrival was unplanned.

The fact that his leg had healed was completely exposed.

Qin Shuangchi held her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

There was a look of deep affection between their brows, and Qin Beihuang, who was sitting diagonally opposite them, felt like he was being stabbed by needles in the heart.

The child was actually the King of Chu's.

The King of Chu's leg also healed.

The bastard he mentioned turned out to be of royal blood!

He recalled the figure that night, his head buzzing, it turned out that was the King of Chu!

In a daze, his fingers were clenched until they turned white.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother said, "I'm afraid this isn't a misunderstanding. Someone is deliberately trying to harm Jiang Ningwan and my grandson tonight!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Feng Chan, bring the person up!"

Soon, Feng Chan came to the hall with a tied young eunuch.

"Your Majesty, this eunuch said he was ordered by Your Majesty to deliver a tranquilizing soup to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager has been unconscious since she drank it."

"After the King of Chu arrived, he discovered that the Queen Mother had not drunk a tranquilizing decoction, but a soul-enchanting potion that would allow her to sleep through the next day."

"The imperial physician has also checked it, and there is indeed something wrong with the medicine!"

After Feng Chan finished speaking, the emperor frowned, "I didn't send anyone to give my mother the tranquilizing soup!"

The Queen Mother said quietly, "Of course not the Emperor!"

"Give me drugs and make me fall into a deep sleep, so that I can deal with Jiang Ningwan. Of course, I am the one who wants Jiang Ningwan dead the most here."

As he said this, he looked at the queen meaningfully.

"What do you think, Queen?"

"Did this young eunuch work in Fengqi Palace before?"
