Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

Upon returning to the manor, a maidservant came to inform Zheng Luoqi that something had happened at the women's quarters.

"What? You're pregnant?" Zheng Luoqi asked, looking puzzled.

Zheng Luoqi had no idea she could get someone pregnant. It was like someone was cheating on her; it was blatant provocation.

This is unacceptable.

When Zheng Yuxiang heard that Zheng Luoqi was saying that the female concubine was pregnant, he was also very surprised and couldn't help but ask, "How dare she cuckold you? Executing her like this is too lenient. Some people's hands have already reached into the Prime Minister's mansion. Hmph, strike the snake at its vital point. Do you not need your father to teach you how to do that?"

Zheng Luoqi nodded, indicating that she knew what to do. "Butler Li, send someone to find out what's going on, what she's been in contact with recently, and who she's met."

The steward was ordered to leave.

"You guys, send more people to keep an eye on that woman. Report her every move to me," Zheng Luoqi instructed the guards.

"Yes!" the guards replied.

*****

Three days later, the night grew deeper...

Mu Jin sat in the room, her hands stroking her belly. "Child, once your father has finished his business, he will take us out." Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept in, and the window creaked, startling her.

"Who is it!" Mu Jin looked nervously out the window.

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps sounded outside the window. Then the window was opened.

By the moonlight, Mu Jin looked closely and was immediately overjoyed, exclaiming, "You... how did you get in?"

The man standing at the door was dressed in a long black robe and had a handsome face; he was none other than her lover, Zhou Yao.

"Didn't the guards outside notice you?" Mu Jin asked worriedly.

"No, the guards went to patrol elsewhere. I sneaked in," Zhou Yao said happily, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Yao then walked over, put his arm around Mu Jin, let her head rest on his shoulder, and whispered, "You've worked hard, Jin'er. I'll be able to take you out soon."

Mu Jin nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "Mmm." During this time, she had been extremely careful in the Prime Minister's residence to conceal her pregnancy.

Looking at Mu Jin's pale and haggard face, Zhou Yao gently kissed away her tears.

Sensing the man's intimacy and affection, Mu Jin smiled through her tears.

Zhou Yao raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears, saying tenderly, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Mu Jin shook her head, lowered her head, and said shyly, "It's nothing, I just feel wronged."

Zhou Yao cupped Mu Jin's cheeks and gently comforted her, "Good girl, don't be upset."

Just as Zhou Yao and Mu Jin were being intimate.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", the door was kicked open, and the guards outside surged in like a tidal wave.

A sharp, piercing laugh filled with sarcasm came from outside: "Hahahaha...Good, good, very good! What a loving 'couple,' your love is truly touching, even I'm almost moved!"

Zhou Yao and Mu Jin's faces turned deathly pale instantly. Zhou Yao panicked, "It's Zheng Luoqi! We've been discovered!"

Zheng Luoqi entered the room, found a seat, and looked at the two of them expressionlessly. He said in a deep voice, "I was wondering how you, Miss Mujin, became pregnant. Now I understand. There was a traitor inside."

Zhou Yao and Mu Jin knelt on the ground in fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Zhou Yao hurriedly said, "It was Mu Jin, it was Mu Jin who seduced me."

Mu Jin looked up in astonishment, staring at Zhou Yao with a shocked expression.

She never expected that Zhou Yao would actually try to shirk responsibility and push all the blame onto her; it was utterly shameless.

Zhou Yao ignored Mu Jin's angry expression and was about to say something when Zheng Luoqi interrupted him with a raised hand. Then someone brought in a bowl of dark, murky medicine.

Zheng Luoqi looked coldly at the two of them: "Guess what this is?"

Mu Jin clutched her stomach in panic, shook her head frantically, and looked at Zheng Luoqi in fear, "Young Master, we are only in love with each other, please spare our lives."

“Still not telling the truth? Looks like she wants to take the medicine. Someone, force-feed her the medicine,” Zheng Luoqi said expressionlessly.

Immediately, a maidservant stepped forward and restrained Mu Jin, pinching her mouth shut and trying to force the medicine down her throat. Mu Jin struggled frantically but could not break free.

Zhou Yao, standing nearby, was so frightened by what he saw that he dared not look up and trembled all over. Mu Jin was extremely disappointed by what she saw.

"You're still doing things for a man like that? Is it worth it?" Zheng Luoqi mocked.

Hibiscus remained silent.

Zheng Luoqi coldly turned to Zhou Yao: "And you, who are you working for? Tell me and you'll suffer less."

Zhou Yao's face turned pale. "I... I wasn't working for anyone."

"Is the treatment at the Prime Minister's residence not good? What benefits did Prince Gong give you? Why are you working for him so diligently?" Zheng Luoqi said leisurely.

Zhou Yao's expression changed drastically upon hearing the name "Prince Gong." "This humble servant has no idea what you are talking about, young master, and I have no knowledge of any Prince Gong."

However, when Mu Jin heard that Zhou Yao was working for Prince Gong, she looked at him in shock, her eyes filled with anger, "You used me? You actually worked for Prince Gong?"

Zhou Yao sneered upon hearing Mu Jin's words, "What are you talking about, Miss Mu Jin? What Prince Gong? And it's clearly you who's using me."

"Weren't you using me to spread messages to the outside world?" Zhou Yao directly exposed what Mu Jin had done.

When Mu Jin learned that Zhou Yao was working for Prince Gong, she froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning. After a moment, she gave a cold laugh, her face ashen, and said, "I was so stupid to trust you so much..."

After a moment, Mu Jin seemed to have figured something out and knew that she could not escape death today. She slowly said, "It was Yang Chang who planted me here to find out news about the Prime Minister's residence. Who knew that I could not even leave the courtyard? So I wanted to find someone outside to help me pass on the message. Then I found Zhou Yao. I didn't know that he was working for Prince Gong. I thought he loved me, so he helped me and worked with me for Yang Chang."

"Zhou Yao, so you knew from the beginning who I was working for and deliberately approached me?" Mu Jin thought bitterly: The child is gone, even if I die today, I will drag Zhou Yao down with me.

Seeing that Mu Jin had exposed him, Zhou Yao knew he couldn't escape today, so he stopped pretending. His face flushed red with anger, and he roared, "I didn't target you from the beginning. I just couldn't get into the inner courtyard either, so I needed someone to cooperate with, and that's why I approached you. Weren't you using me when you approached me from the start? It was all mutual exploitation, so let's not accuse each other!"

After hearing all this, Mu Jin closed her eyes in despair and burst into tears. She was so stupid and foolish to have been deceived for so long. She really thought this man loved her and even thought that after everything was over, they could run away together. But she never expected that they were just serving different masters.

Zhou Yao looked at Mu Jin's heartbroken appearance, his face expressionless, showing no concern whatsoever.

After watching the double agent scene, Zheng Luoqi's face turned frosty. She coldly ordered, "Drag them away. Leave the woman with a whole corpse! Castrate the man first, then behead him."

Zhou Yao's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger: "Zheng Gou, you are utterly heartless, how could you treat me like this?"

Zhou Yao was dragged away by the guards, his cursing voice fading into the distance...
