Zhou Chen didn't say anything about the memorial. He raised his hand and put the memorial in his arms, staring straight at Lin Jiuqing's belly.

Lin Jiuqing subconsciously raised his hand to protect his stomach. Mo Chengning seemed to be offended. He stepped forward to block Lin Jiuqing and scolded him unhappily: "How dare you! Where are you looking?"

Zhou Chen paused, then knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The next moment, Zhou Chen looked at Lin Jiuqing again: "I don't know if I heard it wrong, so I want to ask your Majesty in person. Your Majesty, are you... pregnant?"

Lin Jiuqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it's still early, and we are in this troubled time, so please keep it secret for the time being, Lord Zhou."

Zhou Chen frowned deeply: "I understand."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Chen asked again: "I wonder... does His Majesty know about the existence of this child?"

Lin Jiuqing's eyes moved, and then he shook his head: "I don't know."

Mo Xiao had always been very careful when he was with me. He was worried about his body and afraid that he would not be able to bear the hardship of bearing a child, so he deliberately did not allow himself to get pregnant. However, on the day he left, perhaps because he was shaken, or perhaps because he was too careless, he made an oversight and this is how this child came about.

She didn't feel anything at first, but Mo Chengning was afraid that she would be exhausted from dealing with the affairs of those clan relatives for days, so he insisted on asking Doctor Chen to come and sell it. Only then did she realize something was wrong.

After Zhou Chen heard Lin Jiuqing's words, his heart seemed to finally die.

He raised his hand and scratched his cheek, feeling very distressed. After a long while, he managed to utter: "This, this is a big deal. His Majesty must be informed."

If it was any other concubine, Zhou Chen would not care, it was just a pregnancy, and he would ask the servants in the harem to be careful. However, the one who was pregnant happened to be Concubine Chen, so this was a big deal.

The Concubine Chen is the emperor's sweetheart and half of his life. When something like this happens, His Majesty must be informed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiuqing's expression immediately darkened and he said seriously, "Your Majesty must not know about this."

Zhou Chen was stunned and looked up at Lin Jiuqing.

Lin Jiuqing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's trip is full of dangers. I don't want him to be distracted by my affairs."

"But……"

"No buts. I have good food and drink in Lanyin Palace and I have the best doctors to take care of me. Nothing will happen to me. There is no need to worry about such a small matter."

Lin Jiuqing's attitude was very tough. He looked at Zhou Chen and said with a slight warning: "Sir Zhou, you are the only one who knows about this matter at the moment. If His Majesty is distracted and something dangerous happens because of you, I will definitely make trouble for you then."

Chen Zhou:"……"

When Zhou Chen thought of the two clan members who were killed so swiftly by Lin Jiuqing, he felt a chill down his spine.

Mo Chengning, who had been standing aside, spoke up and asked Zhou Chen, "Do you think mother should keep this child?"

When Zhou Chen heard this, he felt like he was hit by a club. His head was buzzing and he stammered, "Your Highness, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly!"

"You must know something about mother's health," Mo Chengning said word by word, "This child shouldn't be here now, or even shouldn't be here at all. She simply can't stand the hardship of bearing a child. It's best to abort him while he's still young and not deeply connected to the mother's body. It's also the best for mother."
