You need to cross check and talk the truth," Ni Qing is scolding her brother about this whole pregnancy mix up. obviously, she is well aware about her questionable pregnancy.


    "Are you serious about your husband ability to sleep with another woman? He is not someone who can shop around?" NI Sheng is asking her sister for confirmation about his knowledge of the emperor.


    "Do you hear any rumour about her?" Ni Qing is asking from her brother who has his ear everywhere in capital.


    "I hear some rumour and gossip… do you want to hear it?" Ni Sheng is trying to pique interest from his sister.


    "Can we eat first, and we talk over dessert? I make some egg tart…" Ni Qing is getting her chopstick on the table. Lin Yue is putting some food on the te after Mo Feng is putting thest dishes on the table.


    All the dishes'' cooks by Mo Feng contains all the vitamin and ingredientspatible for her pregnancy. No oneint for food on the table as Mo Feng''s skill on the cooking is on par with Ni Qing. They all are sitting on the table including Xiao Nie. They are eating together as one whole family. In their belief, no one is higher than the others regardless of their position. They are all the same human being.


    The wind blows nicely when Ni Qing is deciding to drink the tea inside hermon room. Xiao Nie and Ni Sheng is cleaning up the table before he joins them inside themon room.


    "Why are you not in the court room with the emperor?" Mo Feng is sitting down after checking Ni Qing pulse.


    "The emperor is having Zhou Yu and Gu Man in the court with the prime minister… why are you wanting us to be with the emperor?" Ni Sheng is looking at master Mo with a curious look. Xiao Nie ising to the room with the te of dessert made by Ni Qing.


    The fragrant custard egg with the smell of the fresh pastry fills the whole room. Xiao Nie is serving the dessert apanied with the flower tea.


    "Tell me, brother what are you hearing about the pregnant consort liang?" Ni Qing is asking her brother with a curiosity. She is well aware her pregnancy because of her affair with the only man who always linger in her pce, the book merchant.


    "She is not pregnant with the emperor seed, right? Did you do something with her pregnancy?" Ni Sheng is shooting his sister with an arrow. Ni Qing is smiling mysteriously to her brother which make everyone in the room understand.


    "No Wonder… you push Crown Prince Lian Li Xuan toe out and get our rice back without even make the blood drop… as always the fruit from your brain, Xiao Qing," Lin Yue is telling her about the extraordinary n.


    "The only baby that belong to our emperor is inside your womb?" Ni Sheng is asking his sister for the confirmation before they areughing to her nodding answer.


    "You have to tell the emperor as this baby grow day by day… what is your next excuse when your stomach starts to show up?" Ni Sheng is asking his sister.


    "I Do not know to be honest… I am still thinking about the next excuse for my little bean…" Ni Qing is putting a loud breath out after sipping her tea. She is nibling into the dates to make the baby grow healthy.


    "I think your stomach start to show up… you have to think faster for the excuse…" Mo Feng is advising them in open.


    "Do I pay all my worker to be enjoying their free time in here while I busted my arse to work…" The cold iron voice sounded to the whole room. The emperor is walking into themon room with his yellow dragon robe. everyone is bowing to respect the emperor who take seat in the top of the room. He makes a gesture for them to stand up.


    "I am sorry, your highness… we are going to be back to our office…" Ni Sheng is bowing and taking step backward.


    "Stop… all of you… I did hear about the rumour, and someone find an excuse for her pregnancy…" Jin Yu is looking sharply into his wife. He was making an excuse to leave the lunch early due to his headache.


    Jin Yu keeps thinking about her expression and making a trip to her pce. as soon as he arrives in her pce to find about the chatter of their talk. He can hear perfectly about the rumour regarding the pregnancy of Consort Liang and his wife pregnancy which she hides it from him. He asks Eunuch Wang to summon physician He to empress pce.


    "I think, your highness hears something wrong… We just talk about gossip and rumour…" Ni Qing is making an excuse to dismiss the emperor. He knows about her way of thinking, but he needs to make her confess about her pregnancy. In the same time, Physician He is arriving in the empress pce in hurry.


    "Check the empress health…" Jin Yu is instructing Physician He to check into his wife condition.


    "Excuse me, your highness… Do you have any symptom or any pain?" Physician He is preparing the cushion and the material to check her wrist.


    "I do have some symptom to kill someone at the moment because of his annoying behaviour…" Ni Qing is sitting and giving out her wrist to physician He.


    "Can someone tell me the punishment to lie to me as the emperor?" Jin Yu is asking with his stern face.


    "It is a capital crime and punishable by death, your highness…" Eunuch Wang is answering the question thrown by the emperor.


    "What kind of death?" Jin Yu is keeping asking the question with his cold iron voice which make everyone get a goosebump to hear his voice.


    "Either it will be cut on the neck or hanging in front of public…" Eunuch Wang keep answering the emperor.


    "I am not scared at all… you can punish me and kill me if you want…" Ni Qing is not scare with his ckmail. Jin Yu is looking at her angerly as she regards her life so easily without thinking about his feeling.


    "Your highness… congrattion for the good news… The empress is pregnant seven weeks now…" Physician He is kneeling down on the floor to Kong towing the emperor.


    "Should I check again the record whether this is my seed?" Jin Yu is making a sarcasm remark automatically after hearing about the truth. NI Qing is really angry to hear hisment about her pregnancy.


    Ni Qing is standing up and walk out from themon room and m shut her bed chamber to vent her anger. She did not care about her husband and anyone else because of the worde out from her husband mouth seem like a sword piercing her heart.


    How dare he question her loyalty and imply about sleeping around with other man until she gets pregnant!


    Ni Qing isying down on her bed and closing the drape to cover her bed. Anyway, she is kind of tired and needs some nap. It won''t take a long time for her to dose off to the realm of dream.


    She is waking up with her tired face and already dark outside. The room is look so haggard and it seem not inside the pce. she is putting her shoes on and walking outside the room.

    "Look she is already wake up… let''s take out the baby as Crown Princess Liang instruction to us and sell her to the brothel…" The men is telling to each other while she hold her big stomach.


    What are they saying about the crown princess Liang? He is already married and someone else im as his crown princess. Ni Qing is stepping back to realise about her safety. She is looking around to familiarise the terrain before she tries to run away. However, she needs to hide and thinking that she ran away.

I want you to rely on me… tell me about everything so I can start to fix everything," Jin Yu is demanding toward exnation from her. He can''t get angry toward her and pamper her more and more. She is giving him a baby and descendant to continue his line.
