Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

A temporary pavilion was built on the top of Hushan Mountain, with bamboo curtains hanging down on the four sides of the pavilion, and many guards stood around it.

When Xiao Juan showed up with people, a guard immediately stepped forward to stop them.

"The empress only let Xiao Juan in."

Xiao Juan instructed the Eagle Guards following behind him, "You guys wait here."

"Here!"

The eagle guards all took two steps back. Seeing this, the guard turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation: "The empress is inside, please come in."

Xiao Juan went up the steps, and the maid standing beside him rolled up the bamboo curtain.

Inside the pavilion, a beautiful woman was leaning on the soft bed. She was wearing a gorgeous palace dress with white background and gold painting. Gold hairpins are dotted with steps.

She is the former Princess Tao Ran, and now the Queen of Chen Kingdom.

She looked at the man who walked in, raised her red lips, and showed a charming smile.

"Brother Mo Zhu, I knew you would definitely come to the appointment."

Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly: "Tao Ran, what did you ask me to do?"

Queen Chen raised her arms, and her wide sleeves were blown by the wind, light and elegant.

"Princess Tao Ran is my title, not my real name."

Speaking of this, she looked at Xiao Juan with a half-smile: "Brother Mo Zhu, do you still remember his name?"

Xiao Juan was silent for a while before saying: "Shen Luqing."

His answer obviously pleased the woman, and her eyes lit up.

"Green Qing Gaofu, Su Mist is uneven, which describes bamboo. My name just matches your name of Black Bamboo. Doesn't this mean that we are a natural match?"

Xiao Juan: "If you insist on thinking so, I'll change my name."

Shen Luqing: "..."

The smile on her face quickly faded.

"Brother Mo Zhu, do you really hate me that much?"

Xiao Juan said calmly: "I neither like you nor dislike you, you are just an insignificant stranger to me."

Shen Luqing raised her eyebrows: "You really dare to say it, don't forget, I am no longer the immature Princess Tao Ran, I am now the queen of Chen Kingdom, and now I say everything about Chen Kingdom Forget it, if you annoy me, I can order Chen Guo to send troops to Dong Tang at any time."

Facing her threat, Xiao Juan still looked calm.

"You will not."

Shen Luqing: "Oh? So confident?"

Xiao Juan: "Chen Kingdom has just ended a civil strife, and people's hearts are unstable. If you send troops to Dongtang at this time, it is tantamount to giving others a handle. It will do you harm but no benefit."

Shen Luqing propped herself up on the couch with one hand, and slowly sat up straight.

"So what? I don't care what others think, I just want Brother Mo Zhu."

Xiao Juan looked at her steadily.

Shen Luqing raised her hand subconsciously, and gently stroked her cheek: "What is Brother Mo Zhu looking at?"

Xiao Juan: "You look changed a lot."

Shen Luqing: "Really? Where have I changed?"

"In the past, you might just want to make yourself happy, but now you won't."

Shen Luqing smiled lightly: "Anyone who has experienced so much will change."

Xiao Juan was silent.

Shen Luqing stretched out her slender hand, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of Xiao Juan.

"It's rare to see each other, sit down and have a cup of tea, let's have a good chat."

Xiao Juan sat down at the table, but did not touch the teacup in front of him.

Shen Luqing: "Are you afraid that I will poison the tea?"

Xiao Juan: "It is necessary to guard against others."

Shen Luqing smiled again: "You are really straightforward, this is the best tea in our Chen country, and it is hard to find, if you don't drink it, it is a waste of money."

Having said that, she picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Xiao Juan: "You didn't ask me to come here just to drink tea, did you?"

Shen Luqing put down her teacup: "Brother Mo Zhu, I have missed you very much these past two years, have you ever missed me for a moment?"

Before Xiao Juan could answer, she spoke first.

"Well, needless to say, I know you will definitely say no."

Xiao Juan didn't speak, it was a tacit consent.

Shen Luqing: "Do you know what I have experienced in the past two years?"

Xiao Juan remained silent.

Shen Luqing continued to speak on her own.

"Han Chengxi is really nothing.

After he took me captive to Kingdom Chen, he kept me as a plaything in his mansion,

They also trained me in unrefined ways, forcing me to learn those dirty and nasty things.

After training me well, he packed me as a gift and sent it to Emperor Chen.

The emperor was older than my father, a wrinkled old man,

Every time I get close to him, I can smell the unpleasant smell of an old man on his body. I feel sick from the smoke,

But I still have to do my best to please him.

Because only by grasping his heart can I have the possibility of turning over.

Everyone called me a shameless concubine.

But so what? I have no way of turning back, I can only climb up by whatever means. "

Having said that, she couldn't help closing her eyes.

All kinds of past memories came to mind.

There were frame-ups from everyone in the harem, insults and slanders from former court officials, and repeated threats from Han Chengxi.

She is deeply trapped in the harem of Kingdom Chen, no matter how desperate she is, no one will lend a helping hand to her.

The once sharp personality was forcibly smoothed out, she learned to hide her strength and bide her time, and learned to stay low and be small.

It stands to reason that at the age of Emperor Chen, it should be very difficult for a concubine to become pregnant again.

But she did.

It's not because she's lucky enough, but because while serving Emperor Chen, she also likes to please Han Chengxi in private like a pet.

The person who really got her pregnant was actually Han Chengxi.

But only she and Han Chengxi know this secret.

The emperor of Kingdom Chen thought that the child belonged to him, and he was very happy when he was old and strong, so he made her the imperial concubine.

With her blowing the pillow, Emperor Chen really moved the idea of ​​making Han Chengxi the crown prince.

Han Chengxi also thought that he had the chance to win, and he was sure of the crown prince.

Little did he know that while he was using Shen Luqing, Shen Luqing was also using him.

After Han Chengxi killed all the princes who were most likely to compete for the crown prince, Shen Luqing quietly poured drugs into his drink while he was most relaxed.

When he was in a daze, Shen Luqing pushed him down the stairs.

He broke his neck just as he fell to the ground and was killed instantly.

Afterwards, she coaxed the Emperor of Chen Kingdom to canonize her as empress, and her son was established as prince.

Now the emperor of Kingdom Chen has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed, unable to move while lying on the bed, she has full authority to represent all affairs of the court.

As for those who had hurt her, they were either dead or half dead.
