The little fox is super pregnant, the heir-less boss is spoiling her like crazy

Lou Jingyuan stepped into the palace. He first glanced at Concubine Li indifferently, then respectfully told her everything he had found out. After that, he asked Concubine Li, "Your Majesty, is what I said true?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. She used one hand to barely support herself, preventing herself from falling completely. She said slowly, "So what? My family behind me won't let me be dragged down." She laughed wildly and said with a sly grin, "Given the current situation, even if you all knew about this, you'd just have to swallow your disgust and accept it."

Lou Jingyuan pondered for a moment and then smiled. He lowered his eyes and said, "Empress Li, your trick of replacing the prince with a cat is indeed very clever. You guessed that the emperor is no match for the aristocratic families now. But you forgot that if the one you had was a real prince, it would be fine. He is a fake. How can the people of the world tolerate a fake prince ascending the throne? I will spread this matter later, and soon rumors will spread. The emperor only needs to deal with you. As long as you die today, the second prince's identity as a fake prince will be confirmed. No matter how powerful your mother's family is, will they risk making enemies with the whole world to protect you? Or do you think that your mother's family only has a girl like you? The emperor is still young, so what if he waits another twenty years?"

The emperor nodded.

His eyes were filled with disappointment. He glanced at Concubine Li and raised his voice, "At this point, what else do you want to say?"

After this, Concubine Li knew she was doomed. She roared, "Even if I did this, I was forced to do it. You are foolish and shameless. Every time I get close to you, I can't help but feel sick. I originally had a man I loved. We were clearly in love and had been inseparable since childhood. It was at that banquet when you came to my mansion and praised me. Then my family forcibly separated me from Xue Lang and even tricked him into falling into the water, so that we would never see each other again. Do you know how much I hate him? Even if I killed those children, you still owe me a life. You owe me, Xue Lang."

The emperor then retracted his gaze, and with a smile, he said, "You hate the wrong person. That family dinner, from beginning to end, was nothing more than a setup by your mother's family for me to see you. Since you attended the family dinner, you were sent to me by your family to be selected. How can you say that it was because of me that I harmed you?"

Concubine Li smiled sadly. She knew it very well, but those were her family members. Even if she had hatred and resentment, she couldn't hate them, so she could only hate the emperor. She had no other choice.

Concubine Li wiped away her tears, her makeup already a mess. She looked at Lou Jingyuan with a sudden trance, and said slowly, "You look so much like the emperor in his youth, but your eyes are not like him. I know, haha, I know."

Lou Jingyuan looked at the emperor. He had never carefully observed his appearance and even felt a little resistant. "Empress Li, what you should be concerned about right now is not my appearance."

Concubine Li looked at Lou Jingyuan's handsome face, her eyes flashing, and she suddenly understood something. She reached out and pulled out the hairpin on her head, her eyes flashing with murderous intent, her tone frantic, her eyes bloodshot, and she stabbed at Lou Jingyuan like a madman: "I know, I know, I will kill you, I will kill you."

Before everyone could react, a light green figure had already blocked Lou Jingyuan's way. The jade hairpin pierced into the woman's thin back, and bright red blood splashed out instantly.

"Lou Jingyuan, be careful." Jiang Shiyun fell into Lou Jingyuan's arms. Fortunately, the system reminded her this morning that Lou Jingyuan was in danger, and she took a pain-relieving pill in advance, otherwise she would be in so much pain now.

Even so, she still had to act more realistically. After Lou Jingyuan kicked Concubine Li away, she put her trembling lips to Lou Jingyuan's ear and said weakly to him: "No, don't kill the king. I, I will always be with you, Lou Jingyuan, it hurts, it hurts..."

Crystal clear tears slid down from the corners of her eyes and soaked his palms. There was an unprecedented panic in Lou Jingyuan's eyes. He held her waist with one hand and lifted the back of her knees with the other, picked her up and walked out.

"Imperial Physician, tell the Imperial Physician quickly."

After Lou Jingyuan left the hall, the eunuch came over and whispered in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, Director Lou did not bring anyone with him. It seems that the content of the anonymous letter is wrong.

He has always been loyal to the Emperor, and he is your child, so how could he do such a thing? It seems we have been worrying too much."

"Did he really come with the Royal Guards? No one with him?" The emperor heaved a long sigh of relief, half leaning back on the dragon throne. The broken ice in his eyes seemed to melt a little, but his eyes were looking outside the house.

The eunuch nodded and made a cup of tea for the emperor. His expression was a little uncertain. The emperor took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "That's good. If he also betrays me, I will be truly alone and have no one to trust. Tell me, is this a punishment from heaven?"

The dark clouds slowly parted, and the sky, which had been raining for a long time, gradually cleared up. The old eunuch looked at the beautiful scenery outside and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The clouds are now clearing, which is a good omen. Besides, you have this old servant by your side, and I am loyal to you. Moreover, Your Majesty has the Third Prince, so how can you be alone?"

Then he waved his hand and ordered someone to take Concubine Li away from the hall. Then he approached the emperor and whispered, "It seems that the Third Prince is particularly concerned about the girl from the Jiang family. I'm afraid that we may have to reconsider what we said before."

The emperor's eyes instantly brightened with relief, and he said calmly, "Never mind. Just now, I saw that she risked her life to protect Yuan'er. She does have some real feelings for him. If Yuan'er likes him, then let him be. I have lived my life without regrets for my country and its people, but I feel guilty towards this child."

The old eunuch's heart moved, and he said, "Your Majesty was helpless in what happened back then. If she hadn't died, the Third Prince would have died. This was her choice, and Your Majesty need not blame yourself."

The emperor thought of the timid little palace maid who always kept her head down timidly and dared not say a word. She would cry out of fear when scolded by her aunt.

But after having a child, she survived in a place like a laundry department.

Later, in order to prevent Concubine Li and the Queen from discovering the identity of the child, she chose a white silk to end her life.

Beneath the loquat tree, her eyes crimson, she stared at the sleeping child in her father-in-law's arms with reluctance. She dared to look him in the eye, her words resonant and powerful: "Your Majesty, I can choose to end my life. But please protect my Yuan'er. If you dare treat him badly, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Such a timid woman probably said the boldest words in her life, but her eyes were so determined that many years after her death, the emperor would dream of those eyes in the middle of the night.

Lou Jingyuan waited for a whole day and night before finally waiting for Jiang Shiyun to wake up. His eyes were complicated, but he was relieved to see her wake up. He asked, "Why did you come here suddenly? How did you know..."
