Mu Zheng ignored them, continuing to wipe his mouth with a cloth before slowly walking to a nearby stool and sitting down.

The empress led the palace maids and knelt on the ground, her head bowed, not daring to even breathe. Everyone listened to the emperor's every move, their hearts pounding.

Although the emperor's face was expressionless, he wasn't angry. Furthermore, he seemed to be very interested, so the empress had to finish what she wanted to say.

Rumors had been circulating around the palace these past few days. It was likely that the emperor had long since heard of them, but he hadn't expressed his opinion at all. He was still very good to Imperial Concubine Zheng. Seeing that this child was about to be born in just over a month, the empress and the others were burning with anxiety.

As the head of the imperial harem, it was only right for the empress to manage such matters. In addition, she was anxious and didn't want this evil creature to be born, so she invited the emperor for a meal today to test her attitude. She wanted to borrow the Emperor's hand to cripple Zheng Ziyi, excluding this prince.

He hadn't thought that the emperor would protect this Zheng Ziyi to such an extent, and he was actually furious over this matter. Could it be that the prince's bloodline was impure, that his concubine and his man were perverted, and that he didn't care at all?

The empress couldn't figure out what kind of bewitching medicine Zheng Ziyi had given the emperor to cause her to lose her mind.

At this time, Mu Zheng took a sip of tea and put down his cup. He then began to speak, "You are the Queen, and should be the model for the harem. It is because of these rumors that the harem is so full of smoke and miasma. "

"Your Majesty, please forgive us. Chenqie did not lie. Chenqie also did not believe that these people had everything, so she did not do anything." However, during this period of time, the rumors became more and more intense, and this little prince was about to be born. It's because chenqie didn't want him to suffer so many criticisms right after he was born, that's why she was in such a hurry to find out the truth. "

The empress hastened to explain, enunciating every word with the expression of someone who had good intentions in mind.

"Is that so, Empress? So it's me who is wrongly accusing you?" Mu Zheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"Chenqie doesn't dare." Hearing his tone, the queen lowered her head even more.

"Ever since Zi Yi became pregnant and became her new pet, everyone started to curse and curse at her, suspecting her that she was a prince in the middle of her stomach time and again. Whether or not this child is mine, I am not sure! " Mu Zheng had never suspected this child, because the date of conception was exactly the same as the time he and Zheng Ziyi were in bed together.

"Chenqie absolutely believes in the purity of the prince. It's only because the maid has too much to say that …" The empress looked up at the emperor with a wronged expression, only to see tears welling up in her eyes.

"Zi Yi heard these words a long time ago, and I have also heard how many times you questioned her. The purple-clothed person was both angry and anxious. She was afraid, and this was why her body had repeatedly been in a bad state. You mean no good to her, but she is still diligent and respectful to you. Whenever I wanted to seek justice for her, she would stop me, always speaking up for you, because she doesn't want to affect your dignity as a queen. "But you, hmph, have really let me down!" Mu Zheng flung his sleeves and threw his teacup onto the ground.

"What?" Only now did the empress understand why the emperor had such an attitude. Zheng Ziyi had long since taken the initiative and gone to act out a scheme against the emperor. Now, she had fallen into her trap with this move of her. This Zheng Ziyi was truly insidious and insidious.
