The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Everyone sighed a few words, and Concubine Bao said, "You and your elder brother are only half a year apart in age, and you look the most alike, like twins. It's a pity that your elder brother passed away early, and I can't watch him have children."

"Don't be so sad. An'er in heaven wouldn't be at peace if he knew about this." King Fenyang comforted him.

Concubine Bao nodded, leaned softly on Prince Fenyang, pressed her eyes and said, "What I regret most now is that I didn't give Nan'an a concubine earlier. When he left, there was no boy or girl left behind."

"Princess, the second young master has just returned. Please quickly arrange a marriage for him so that he can pass on the bloodline of the palace as soon as possible."

The princess didn't know what Concubine Bao was up to, so she could only say cautiously, "After the mourning period in Nan'an is over, I will help the second son to look for him when I have time."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Concubine Bao had no reaction, and no one else had any reaction either, so she thought that it might be Concubine Bao's casual remark, and she hurriedly directed the maid Liu Ya to serve the dishes: "Your Highness, please try this."

Before she finished her words, Liu Ya did not serve the dishes, but turned around and walked to the front of the dining table and knelt down in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, I am already the Second Young Master's wife. I dare not ask the nanny for contraceptive soup, and I am worried about getting pregnant in the future. Therefore, I can only plead with you."

"Liu Ya, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

The princess was so frightened that she ordered someone to drag Liu Ya away.

At this time, the weak Concubine Bao suddenly regained her strength. She sat up straight and said, "Princess, I just told the Second Young Master to quickly leave a successor. It turns out that the Princess thought the same as I did and had already arranged one for the Second Young Master. It's just that my An'er just passed away. He and the Second Young Master have such a good relationship. How can the Second Young Master not even observe filial piety and is busy taking in a new person?"

"My son, you thought so much about your brother when you were alive, but I didn't care about you at all. Before your body is cold, I've already hugged you, my son!"

Seeing Concubine Bao crying so hard, Prince Fenyang felt distressed and anxious: "Xie Chenyi, you are so bold."

The princess suddenly sat down as if she was deflated. She had been nervous the whole night and now finally understood what Concubine Bao was planning. From the beginning of today, she had been talking about the deep brotherly love between Xie Nanan and Xie Chenyi. She was probably doing this just for now. She wanted Prince Fenyang to know that Xie Chenyi was in mourning for his eldest brother, so he started to take in a concubine. He didn't seem to feel sad for Xie Nanan at all.

She looked at the kneeling Liu Ya and sneered in her heart, thinking that this might be the spy left by Concubine Bao by her side.

No one knows what they discussed behind the scenes, or what leverage they have. There is no point in being impatient now. Let's just wait and see how Concubine Bao plays this out.

"Please tell me in detail."

When Liu Ya saw that the prince was not going to drag her away but was going to interrogate her carefully, she knew that she had already succeeded for the most part.

She pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Last night, after the Second Young Master paid his respects to the Princess, I took him out. Who knew that he suddenly became beastly and dragged me... Then I became his woman. But now that it is the mourning period for the First Young Master, I dare not speak out. I was also worried about getting pregnant in the future, so I told the Prince and the Princess to make the decision."

"Bastard!" King Fenyang was furious.

"Your elder brother treats you so well, yet you actually start to…"

Prince Fenyang was so angry that he didn't know what dirty words to insult Xie Chenyi. He stood up, pointed at Xie Chenyi and said, "You even raped your mother's maid. You are worse than a beast. Come, take this rebellious son to the ancestral hall."

Xie Chenyi, who was accused without any reason, could only smile bitterly in his heart. His father, the king, did not even give him a chance to refute and directly convicted him just because of a few slanderous words from a maid.

Sometimes he even doubted whether he was the son of King Fenyang.

He left the table and knelt down in front of it, saying with a wry smile, "Father, this maid is full of slander. There is no evidence, no witnesses, and you won't even give your son a chance to defend himself?"

"Okay, you tell me, I want to see what you can say." King Fenyang did not think he was wrong, he just felt that his son was making excuses.

"My son sent mother back to the courtyard after dinner last night. However, we had dinner late last night, and mother felt sorry for her son, so she sent him back halfway. I didn't go to mother's courtyard at all, so how could I have given this maid a chance to send him out?"

Liu Ya felt a little guilty. She once asked Concubine Bao whether she should change it to a few days ago. After all, Xie Chenyi really had been to the princess's yard. But Concubine Bao insisted that it was yesterday, so she had no choice but to continue making up the story.

"I didn't explain it clearly before. What I want to say is that after the Second Young Master said goodbye to the Princess, the Princess asked me to carry a lantern to see him off, and what happened on the way."

At this time, Concubine Bao was suddenly surprised and said, "Your Highness, no wonder we went to look for the Second Young Master yesterday and couldn't find him even after searching the whole house. It shows that the Second Young Master didn't dare to come out at that time."

"My An'er made a fan for his brother with his own hands, and he wanted to give it to him. Who would have thought that he didn't care about him at all? An'er hasn't even passed the 37th day of his twelfth month, and he's already acting like a beast. He really doesn't have any brotherly love for An'er at all!"

All of Concubine Bao's words touched Prince Fenyang's heart. Last night, he indeed asked all the guards in the mansion to go out and look for him, but they didn't find a single person. It was obvious that Xie Chenyi was doing something with his maid and didn't dare to come out in front of others.

He said angrily: "Xie Chenyi, last night, I searched all over the mansion for you, but you disappeared. If you hadn't done anything shameful, why couldn't I find you? What else do you have to say?"

When the princess heard this, she slammed the table in anger and said, "Your Highness, I didn't ask Liu Ya to send Yi'er back last night. The maids in my yard can prove it. Yi'er is very familiar with this mansion. He has his own servant. How could he let a little maid go?"

"Oh, Princess, the people in your yard must listen to you. How can we believe their testimonies?" Concubine Bao retorted while crying.

"you're right."

Prince Fenyang turned around and praised Concubine Bao in agreement, then said with great confidence: "The evidence is irrefutable. Xie Chenyi, you have no father or brother in your heart. You have done such a heartless thing. What else do you have to say?"

Xie Chenyi thought about how he was drugged by Concubine Bao, and looked for places to hide in the mansion, thinking he had escaped danger. However, who knew that Concubine Bao would dare to slander him directly.

He asked Liu Ya coldly: "Since you said that you and I have had physical contact, then tell me, where is the biggest scar on my body?"

How could Liu Ya know about this? She was guilty and flustered as she thought about her answer. She remembered that the princess had received a letter from the border before, which seemed to say...

"In your lap."
