only……

Qi Sihan was also a little unsure whether this child was his. After all these years, he began to doubt himself.

However, after the lesson of Gui who had an affair with a guard and attempted to confuse the royal bloodline and was executed along with all nine generations of her family a few years ago, it seems that there are not many people in the harem who dare to seek wealth and fame at such a risk.

After a while, not only the emperor came over, but also the empress dowager who had been in the Cining Palace.

Because of her low status, Concubine Yi currently lives in Concubine Rou's palace. The courtyard where she lives is not big to begin with, and now it is crowded with people.

Seeing the emperor coming, everyone consciously made way for him and then knelt down to pay their respects.

Qi Sihan ignored the concubines kneeling outside and hurried into Concubine Yi's room.

At this moment, there were only the Queen, Concubine Rou and several imperial physicians in the room. Concubine Rou was sitting beside Concubine Yi's bed, looking like a loving sister.

Qi Sihan walked into the room, and everyone in the room, except Concubine Yi who was lying on the bed, stood up and bowed to him.

Qi Sihan stepped forward to help the queen up and came to the bedside of Concubine Yi.

At this moment, she was half lying on the head of the bed, her face pale, looking like a delicate little white flower.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am so ill that I cannot pay my respects to you."

"It doesn't matter..."

Qi Sihan sat down directly beside Concubine Yi's bed and took a closer look at her face, only then did he have some impression of her.

When I came to Concubine Rou's palace before, it happened that Concubine Rou was having her period and it was inconvenient for her to sleep with him. She did summon a concubine who lived in a side hall to sleep with her, and it seemed like this.

Strangely enough, Qi Sihan was born with a weak memory for faces. He only vaguely remembered a few concubines of higher rank and the very useful Concubine Yang.

What's more, there are so many concubines in his harem, it's normal that he can't remember them all.

"Where is Imperial Physician Zhang, the Chief Medical Officer of the Imperial Hospital?" Qi Sihan asked.

Upon hearing this, a white-bearded old man in official attire in the room immediately stood up and walked in front of Qi Sihan, then knelt down again.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Is Concubine Yi sure that she is pregnant?" Qi Sihan asked.

His tone was normal, but it revealed the emperor's majesty. The atmosphere around them instantly froze, and the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The old man with white beard was under tremendous psychological pressure. He swallowed his saliva and then replied tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is over two months pregnant."

Hearing this, Qi Sihan nodded and gave clear instructions to the eunuch at the door.

"Ask the Jingshifang to fetch the files."

Every overnight stay in this palace is recorded in the archives.

This is also a basis for verifying whether the child is of royal blood.

-

Just as the young eunuch went to get the files from the Jingshifang, Concubine Yang hurried in from outside with a very bad look on her face.

How could she, who had received modern education, tolerate her lover having a child with someone else? The thought of this made her feel humiliated.

At the same time, she firmly believed that Qi Sihan had azoospermia and that this child must be the bastard child of Concubine Yi and someone else.

She could not allow anyone to deceive her beloved man in this way, nor would she allow a lowly creature of unknown origin to become Qi Sihan's prince.

"Miss Yang is here?"

When Concubine Rou saw her coming, she was the first to ask. She knew that Concubine Yang relied on the emperor's favor and had no rules in the harem.

This child of Noble Lady Yi was specially prepared for Concubine Yang. Concubine Rou knew that Concubine Yang would never tolerate anyone else giving birth to an heir to the throne.

"I heard that Concubine Yi is pregnant, so I came to take a look."

Even if Concubine Yang was angry, the empress and the imperial concubine were here, and the empress dowager was waiting for news in the next room, so she had to give the emperor some face.

Seeing her coming, a hint of gloom quickly flashed across Qi Sihan's eyes. He knew Concubine Yang's character very well, but if it really involved his offspring, it would touch his bottom line.

"My beloved concubine is here. Fu Hai, have someone bring a couch for Lady Yang."

The Queen and Concubine Rou in the room were no longer surprised by her rudeness, and they also understood her importance to the Emperor, so they silently tolerated her presumptuous behavior.

The Jingshifang quickly brought the file. Qi Sihan took it, flipped through it briefly, and accurately found the record of Concubine Yi.

His tense expression relaxed in an instant, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and his gaze towards Concubine Yi became softer.

"Yes, it's been two months."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress and Concubine Rou immediately smiled and congratulated the Emperor and Concubine Yi. Both of them had happy expressions on their faces, and it seemed as if they were truly happy for the Emperor and Concubine Yi from the bottom of their hearts.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yang almost slipped off the couch. She half sat up, her mouth tightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with undisguised hatred as she looked at Concubine Yi.

Two months ago...

During that period, she and the emperor were having a quarrel, and this bitch actually took advantage of this opportunity to sneak in. It was really infuriating.

At the moment, Concubine Yang no longer cared whether Concubine Yi was pregnant with an heir. In her opinion, the emperor must have some kind of reproductive problem.

However, because the medical technology of that era was not advanced enough, it would not be easily noticed. Her full attention was on the fact that Concubine Yi had actually slept with him.

Ever since she entered the palace, she has been the exclusive favorite of the emperor. When the emperor was tired of his love for her, he promised her that no matter how many women he had had in the past, she would only be with him in the future.

Unexpectedly, he had such intimate contact with other women. Lady Yang felt betrayed instantly.

In an instant, Lady Yang's eyes were red and her pupils were instantly filled with moisture. The fingertips that were grabbing the edge of the collapse turned red because of excessive force.

Naturally, her disobedient appearance was seen by everyone else in the room, especially Concubine Yi, who was frightened and uneasy.

She knew the status of Concubine Yang in the emperor's heart, and also knew Concubine Yang's usual style of behavior. She heard that Concubine Qi, one of the four concubines, was sent to the cold palace by the emperor because she offended her. Such favor was really scary.

She subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, her face turning paler with fear, fearing that Lady Yang would be unhappy and attack her stomach directly.

I'm afraid that if something happens, the emperor will still choose to protect her. Concubine Yi's heart instantly rose to her throat.

Sensing Concubine Yi's fear, Qi Sihan reached out and patted the quilt covering her, and cast a faint look towards Concubine Yang.

"The Queen and the Imperial Concubine are both happy for me. Zhizhi, aren't you happy?"

Although this sentence still affectionately addressed Lady Yang by her maiden name, the meaning behind it was already very clear.

This was the emperor's warning to Concubine Yang not to try to harm the child in Concubine Yi's belly, and she must accept the child.
