"What did you say!" Prime Minister Liu suddenly stood up from the writing, both of his hands slapped the table, causing the brush to shake, as it rolled down the floor, straight to the messenger's feet.
The servant who reported the news trembled in fear and lowered his head even lower. He had also just received news from the palace, so this had nothing to do with him! " Old... Old Master, Servant … This servant heard it from the little tree in the palace, so it shouldn't be wrong. " The little tree was his playmate in the countryside, and he was the one who told him everything that happened in the palace.
How could things turn out like this? It was with great difficulty that he managed to climb to the position of imperial concubine, but such a thing happened. He attacked the imperial concubine, and even caused harm to the emperor's descendants?
"Then old master's meaning is …" When Lady Liu saw his calm appearance, she knew that he had already made up his mind.
Prime Minister Liu did not keep them in suspense, his fingers rhythmically drummed on the table, and said: "In a few days, the palace will calm down a bit, you can go to Chu Rong's place, or ask Chu Rong for someone to bring back a message, and ask about the situation on that day."
The two talked for a while before the Liu Estate finally calmed down. However, he had never expected that things would continue to go on like this. Shen Qingwan paced back and forth in her yard uneasily. She never thought that Li Ruotong would actually have a child, and that child might not even be the Emperor's!
That day when she was sick, Li Ruotong had sent a note to her from Jiu Shui sect, which was to inform her that she had an affair with Ye Feng! In the past few days, the Emperor hadn't stayed in her courtyard, so the child was most likely his. It was no wonder why she seemed so abnormal in the garden. It was because she knew that he was pregnant.
After thinking about it, Shen Qingwan also felt a little guilty. If it wasn't for the fact that someone wanted to pull her down, this situation wouldn't have happened. It would be alright if the emperor didn't know, but if he knew that this child wasn't his …
In the end, Shen Qing Wan still decided to wait until the limelight had passed in a few days, to go to Li Ruotong's place and see what she had in mind before making her decision.
The people outside the palace were in a state of panic due to the commotion, especially Fu Yuheng. That was his child, so how could he just let it go like that? However, Fu Yuheng did not look upset at all. After dealing with Liu Chugrong, he was even calmer, but it made everyone even more worried and anxious.
Fu Yuheng sat on a chair, his chin resting on his hand. His gaze was unfathomable. Liu Chugrong, Liu Chugrong, this time, you have given me a good chance. If it wasn't for her, he really wouldn't have been able to find her father's loophole.
"Let's go to carrageenan's place to take a look." Raising his dragon robe, Sun Ning hurriedly followed along.
He didn't dare to suspect the Emperor's thoughts, as he had been diligently these past few days, afraid of making any mistakes. Niangniang, why didn't you tell this servant that you were pregnant! Otherwise, this servant will definitely be the first one to rush out and protect you! " Qiu Shui squatted on the side of the bed with tears in her eyes, holding Li Ruotong's hand, her heart ached. Her concubine had treated her the best, but now she had failed to protect her. Her tears made Li Ruotong feel helpless.
"Alright, silly girl!" It's not your fault, why are you crying. " Li Ruotong laughed out loud. Fortunately, the child had only been pregnant for a month, so even if he had miscarried, his body still wouldn't have any major ailments. However, this matter made her feel extremely disappointed. This was her and Ye Feng's flesh and blood. Even if they knew that they might not be able to hold on, they would not be able to stop their hatred towards Liu Chu Rong.
"Your majesty!" The voices outside the door attracted their attention.
Qiushui was anxious to stand up, but she didn't expect her legs to go numb from squatting for too long. She almost fell down, but she still steadied her body and stood properly. On the other hand, Li Ruotong bit her lips on the bed, she was in a panic.
"We pay our respects to the Emperor!"
"Rise!" Fu Yuheng looked at her indifferently as she knelt on the bed. He didn't have the slightest intention of showing pity. Seeing that there were other people around, he pretended to say: "carrageenan's health is not good, it's better to lie down, there's no need to be so polite." He stretched out his hands to help her lie down and then sat on the edge of the bed before waving them down.
Sun Ning was already an elder of the palace, so he naturally understood the emperor's intentions and took the lead to leave. The others left as well.
"carrageenan's stomach is really trying its best!" Fu Yu glared viciously at her. His gaze was clearly filled with anger, causing her entire body to feel ice-cold. It was as though even her blood was about to freeze over.
"But I clearly remember that nothing happened between us, and where did this child come from?" His eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers picking at her chin.
Li Ruotong felt a sense of suffocation, as though a pair of invisible hands was pinching her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Did he jump out from a rock?" Fu Yuheng put his head close to her ear, and the words with a smile that was not a smile drilled into her ear. They were like sharp blades that pierced towards her heart.
