Sheng Yunrou's face was full of panic, and she looked at Wen Tingyun for help, but Wen Tingyun had no time to care about her.

The imperial physician had already come to Sheng Yunrou: "Empress Rou, please stretch out your hand. I will take your pulse."

Sheng Yunrou hid her hands behind her back almost subconsciously.

The emperor looked at Sheng Yunrou's small movements one after another, and had already made a vague judgment in his mind.

"Someone, arrest her!"

Immediately, eunuchs came forward, surrounded Concubine Rou, and forcibly pulled her hand out.

The imperial physician took the opportunity to step forward and put his hand on Sheng Yunrou's wrist.

A moment later, the result came out: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou's pulse is indeed slippery, so she must be pregnant."

"She's been pregnant for about a month, and it's still early."

Veins bulged on the emperor's forehead, and he didn't say a word. However, the entire hall was filled with a sense of oppression that made people feel breathless.

"Okay, great!"

"My good concubine, my good son! What else do you have to say?"

Du Qiyu made a prompt decision and immediately knelt down. "Your Majesty, please understand! I don't know why Concubine Rou suddenly came to tell us that she was pregnant, and she insisted that she was pregnant with Tingyun's child."

"There's no way this child could be Tingyun's!"

Sheng Nanzhi stood outside the door. When she heard Du Qiyu say this, she knew what she wanted to do.

Sacrificing the rook to save the king is a good plan.

Wen Tingyun reacted immediately after a while. He looked conflicted and seemed a little reluctant.

But now that things have come to this point, he has no choice.

His face was pale. He took a deep breath and then knelt down. "Your Majesty, please understand. Concubine Rou is framing me. Your Majesty should know that I had just been recognized by you when I accidentally fell off my horse."

"Things were extremely dangerous back then. Although I managed to save my life, I also lost... the ability to have sex with women, let alone get pregnant."

When these words were spoken, Sheng Yunrou and Sheng Qingqian both widened their eyes, looking incredulous.

Wen Tingyun lowered his head and said, "If your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send a royal physician to examine and diagnose me."

The emperor was also a little surprised. He looked at Wen Tingyun doubtfully: "Imperial Physician!"

The imperial physician agreed and stepped forward to check Wen Tingyun's pulse.

A moment later, the result came out: "Judging from the pulse, it is indeed... just as the Seventh Prince said."

"But... I dare to ask the Seventh Prince to come into the inner hall and let me inspect it."

Wen Tingyun's face turned pale and blue. Revealing his own pain in public was an act of self-protection that he was forced to do.

But he never thought that he would be humiliated like this.

Judging from the emperor's expression, he clearly didn't believe it.

Wen Tingyun gritted his teeth, stood up, and went into the inner hall with the imperial physician.

Outside the palace, Sheng Qingqian and Sheng Yunrou's faces had become extremely ugly since the imperial physician said that judging from Wen Tingyun's pulse, he was indeed inhumane.

How could this be?

If Wen Tingyun really can't make people pregnant, then the children in their bellies...

They clearly got pregnant after being with Wen Tingyun. During this period, there was no one else around them except Wen Tingyun!

A moment later, the imperial physician emerged first. "Your Majesty, I have carefully examined the Seventh Prince's reproductive organs, having indeed been severely injured. He is completely unable to respond, unable to have intercourse, and unable to conceive."

Wen Tingyun also tidied his clothes, walked out with a gloomy face, and knelt down in front of the emperor again.

"Please, Father, punish me for my crime of concealing the truth."

"It was really that I was struck by this sudden misfortune, and I simply couldn't accept it. For over half a month, I thought about dying countless times, and it was mother who kept comforting me."

"She always told me that there are so many extraordinary people in the world, and there must be someone who can heal my injury."

"I have always held onto a glimmer of hope and expectation, and have secretly arranged for countless people to search for doctors and medicine everywhere, but there has been no result so far."

He lowered his head, his expression filled with immense pain. "I had originally thought I'd give myself a year. If after a year, I still couldn't find anyone to heal my injury, I would report the truth to Father and find a place to live in seclusion."

"But I never imagined that, probably because I concealed this matter, someone would actually target me."

"Your son and Concubine Rou..."

He gritted his teeth secretly and said: "I think about it carefully, there is indeed something suspicious before."

"At that time, I met Concubine Rou in the Imperial Garden. Concubine Rou said she had been holding two bottles for a long time and invited me to have a drink with her."

"I followed Concubine Rou to the Moon Watching Tower. The wine was quite strong. I didn't even drink two sips, but I don't know how I got drunk."

"When I woke up, I found myself lying on the couch, with Concubine Rou sitting beside me, silently shedding tears."

"I know my situation well. Even if I'm drunk, there's no way anything will happen between me and Concubine Rou. I realized I was most likely being tricked, so I quickly found an excuse to leave."

"But I never imagined that more than 20 days after the incident, Concubine Rou suddenly found me and my mother, sent away all the palace servants, and told me that she was pregnant."

Wen Tingyun lowered his head, not daring to look at Sheng Yunrou's eyes that were wide open with shock.

"When Concubine Rou said that, I was about to argue, but Sheng Qingqian suddenly rushed in. Without saying a word, she rushed towards Concubine Rou, shouting that she wanted to kill her."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, suddenly remembering something else: "Just now, you kept saying that your wife went crazy because she just got pregnant?"

"If you can't have sex with someone, why do you say she's pregnant?"

Wen Tingyun pursed his lips and said, "The child in her belly is not mine."

He bit his lip and said, "She doesn't know about my son's injury either."

He lowered his head, his mind racing. "This is a long story. Before this, when I moved into the Seventh Prince's residence and was entertaining guests, a prostitute came and said she was pregnant with my child. This happened on the second day after my wedding."

"Later, I asked someone to check and found out that I did spend a night with her."

"When that woman came to me, I was already injured, so the child in her belly was most likely my only child. Therefore, I kept her."

"It was probably because the existence of that woman and the child in her belly posed a great threat to Sheng Qingqian, so she tried every possible way to get pregnant, hoping to get rid of that woman and the child in her belly after she got pregnant."

"Because I don't want to expose my illness, I occasionally give her hallucinogens and pretend to have sex with her."

"But it's possible that it's because I've been having sex with her quite frequently, but she hasn't been able to get pregnant, so she's getting anxious."

"I don't know how she got pregnant, but it's absolutely impossible for me to make her pregnant. So I came here to discuss this matter with you, Mother."

"I didn't expect that unexpected things would happen one after another..."

Wen Tingyun bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I believe every word I say is true. There is absolutely no lie."

"If Madam Roufei and Sheng Qingqian deny it, I am willing to accept any form of investigation."

He clenched his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead, "It's not impossible to use blood test to prove kinship."
