The queen's words were like a double-edged sword. Not only did they put her on the edge of a cliff, but they also gambled with all the glory and prestige she had accumulated in her life.

The Emperor initially had deep doubts about whether the Crown Princess would be so bold as to do something so reckless, but at this critical moment, his heart began to waver.

What was the truth? The emperor's face suddenly became tense, and he stared at the room where the Crown Princess was.

At this moment, he no longer hesitated, took big steps resolutely, and walked straight into the house.

Qingyi, who was standing by, knew that the emperor was burning with rage at this moment. Faced with this situation, she did not dare to step forward to stop him at all.

The Queen's heart was filled with joy. When she thought about the severe punishment that the Crown Princess was about to face, she was so excited that her eyes almost lit up, and she followed her into the house with brisk steps.

"My Princess, the charge that you committed adultery is set in stone and can never be erased! And the fetus in your belly is a bastard! Even if I don't have to say anything more, the Emperor will certainly punish you severely when he finds out about this!" The Queen thought to herself.

As for whose blood the child in the Crown Princess's belly belongs to, it actually doesn't matter, because as long as she insists that it is the flesh and blood of a wild man, how can the Emperor not believe it?

Qingyi wanted to dissuade him, but the emperor had already believed the queen's words and could no longer hold back, so he strode inside.

"No...can you be gentler?"

The Queen's blood seemed to boil as she listened to this blushing voice, and excitement spread across her face. "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess actually dared to commit adultery in the harem. This is truly a heinous crime, and her entire clan should be executed!"

The emperor stood at the door like a sculpture, and was reluctant to move. However, the anger that filled his whole body was like a surging wave, which made people dare not look directly at him.

The Queen was originally following behind the Emperor and had not witnessed the scene in the house. After feeling the Emperor's anger, her heart was already as turbulent as the sea, and she was extremely excited. "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is so immoral, she must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

"See your Majesty, the Queen."

As the icy cold voice came from inside, the queen finally saw who was inside. Her face instantly turned ashen, "Master Imperial Master, how could it be you?"

The Imperial Master's face was as cold as ice, as if it could freeze someone. "Empress, if it wasn't me, who else do you think it would be?"

The Queen's heart was like a vast ocean at this moment. She was shocked to the extreme. She couldn't believe her eyes. The person in front of her was not another man, but the Imperial Master...

If it were any other man, she might be able to say something, but now it seems... this is obviously just a pipe dream.

As everyone knows, the national teacher has been sitting on that special wheelchair for many years. His legs are like dead branches without vitality, not to mention having sex.

At this moment, the scene in the room was like a strange painting.

On the spacious and gorgeous bed, only the Crown Princess was lying on her side, and the Imperial Master was not on the bed at all.

There was a clever and well-behaved palace maid standing by the bed, carefully massaging the Crown Princess' body.

After a brief silence, Xue Jinhua was the first to come back to her senses.

She was startled, but soon regained her composure, quickly adjusted her posture, hurriedly sat up from the bed, and bowed respectfully towards the door, saying, "Greetings, Father, Mother."

The emperor stepped into the room, his face tense and revealing a hint of displeasure.

Those sharp eyes, like two flashes of lightning, stared closely at Xue Jinhua on the bed and asked in a deep voice, "Crown Princess, what are you doing?"

Xue Jinhua's heart tightened when she heard this, and she subconsciously glanced at the queen standing in the distance.

The queen's face was as gloomy as water, so solemn that it made people feel depressed. Her sharp and terrifying eyes were like two cold rays of light shooting straight at Xue Jinhua, as if she was going to eat her alive in the next moment.

Faced with such a situation, Xue Jinhua calmed herself down and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I don't know why my daughter-in-law suddenly felt uncomfortable in her abdomen today. I'm worried that the fetus in my belly might have moved, so I asked someone to come and check it out."

"But then I thought that my daughter-in-law and the Imperial Master are different in gender, which would cause many inconveniences. So I left this little palace maid here to examine my daughter-in-law. I hope my father and mother will understand." After saying this, she bowed deeply again, looking extremely frightened and uneasy.

Xue Jinhua pretended to know nothing and still looked surprised, as if she was the purest and innocent little white flower, "Who knows if the Queen Mother... has any misunderstandings about this, and came in and said things that her daughter-in-law couldn't understand..."

The Empress' already ugly expression could no longer be suppressed at this moment. "Nonsense, I clearly heard you outside just now..."

The Queen felt like she had a thorn in her throat after hearing that shameless remark, and she could no longer utter it.

"What I mean is, doesn't the Imperial Master come to your palace on time every morning? Why does he appear in your palace at this time? Could it be that... you have some secret that you don't want to see the light of day?"

The emperor frowned, his face was extremely ugly, but Xue Jinhua smiled slightly, looking extremely frank, "Mother, the Imperial Master did come to the East Palace in the morning, but this person... always has unexpected things happen. When the Imperial Master came in the morning, I was sleeping soundly. He couldn't bear to disturb my sweet dreams, so he came in the afternoon. How come it became a secret that cannot be told in your mouth? Your mother thinks so, is there something wrong with you, trying to cover up something?"

The queen's face tensed, "Stop talking nonsense. Who is covering up what?"

"If you are not deliberately covering up something, then why do you know exactly when the Imperial Master will come to my East Palace? Are you a god who can predict the future?"

"Just now, when my mother hadn't even stepped into this door, you were so sure that there was a man hiding in my house. Could it be that you, my mother, had foreseen it?"

The Queen's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and the Emperor's expression became like that bottomless lake, as if he was thinking about something.

Xue Jinhua's lips curled up slightly, and she continued with a smile, "Mother, are you sending someone to spy on me?"

"I didn't, stop talking nonsense." The queen naturally denied it.

"Oh, if not, then shouldn't the Queen Mother give me a reasonable explanation?"

"Now that the Crown Prince is not in the East Palace, how can the Queen slander me so wantonly? Hasn't she ever considered the Crown Prince's feelings?"

The queen's face was extremely gloomy at this moment. She had never expected that she would be teased like this by Xue Jinhua.

"It's you. You must have done it on purpose. You are deliberately slandering me."

"Enough!" The emperor standing aside finally couldn't hold back anymore and roared.

The queen immediately shut up, her eyes full of grievance, like a delicate flower hit by frost.

Xue Jinhua lowered her eyes slightly, as if the deep pool was hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Boss Xue narrowed his eyes slightly, and an ominous premonition instantly crept into his heart.

He looked at Xue Jinhua, but she looked away, not giving him a chance to meet his gaze.

Boss Xue was no stupid man and he immediately understood the mystery.

It seems that I was used by Xue Jinhua.

"Your Majesty, I am truly wronged. I really don't know what happened. How could it suddenly become like this?"

The emperor's face tensed, "Queen, do you remember what you just said outside?"

The queen's face turned pale. She had just said... If there were no men in the Crown Princess's room, she would not be qualified to be the queen.

But that was just for her to make the emperor make up his mind to go in and take a look, it wasn't sincere?

If I can't be the queen, then... No way, I have put in so much effort to climb to this position, how can I be deposed at this critical moment?

And it was for this reason. Wouldn't it be laughed at if she told others about it? The queen immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am just concerned about the Crown Princess and have no other intentions."

"The Crown Prince has gone to Nanling. I am worried that no one will take care of the Crown Princess. Plus, this is her first pregnancy and I am afraid she doesn't understand. That's why she asked someone to watch her. I am also very concerned about this. I hope Your Majesty will understand." After saying this, the Queen actually knelt down.

The emperor frowned upon hearing this, but Xue Jinhua knelt down, "Father, you are wise. Mother is very passionate, but... Father saw what happened just now with his own eyes. What if it wasn't?"

"Even if my daughter-in-law is fine, but...if today's incident gets out, how will my daughter-in-law face people?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned yet. If the news gets out, and my daughter-in-law cannot explain it in person, what will His Royal Highness think?"
