Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Emperor Cangxuan truly hadn't expected this outcome.

In the seat of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Shangguan Tang closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with a terrifying depth as deep as the sea.

She rose slowly and walked to the center of the hall, where she knelt down. "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Emperor Cangxuan's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Speak."

Shangguan Tang said, "Your Majesty, I want to accuse my mother-in-law, Liu, of being unkind. In order to ruin her granddaughter's marriage, she fabricated facts and told a huge lie before Your Majesty. My daughter is in good health and has no worries about having children. This can be proven by the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis."

Old Liu immediately turned to look at her, a cold smile appearing on his lips. Shangguan Tang was unaware that she had already given Ying Yufu a potion that would prevent her from having children.

Shangguan Tang ignored her gaze and continued, "This humble woman also wants to accuse my mother-in-law of being immoral, smashing and robbing my dowry, causing me heavy losses."

Old Lady Liu glared at her with a ferocious expression. Shangguan Tang, how dare she!

"I also want to accuse my husband, Duke Ying Nanyao of being licentious and immoral, and of being an unkind father."

He has been having an affair with his widowed sister-in-law for many years, and not only did they have a bastard child, but now he is also entangled with wild beasts. I am truly ashamed to maintain a marital relationship with such a person.

Not only that, Ying Nanyao never showed any affection for the children born to his wife, but he also allowed Old Lady Liu to frame him.

Your Majesty, I humbly request that you grant me permission to divorce Ying Nanyao, and that my children sever all ties with him!

After saying that, Shangguan Tang kowtowed heavily.

The sound of his forehead hitting the ground sent a jolt through everyone.

Whether it's divorce or severing ties, it's a provocation against the husband's family.

Many powerful ministers present immediately showed their dissatisfaction with Shangguan Tang.

Ying Yufu's eyes were red. She glanced at Shangguan Tang and kowtowed deeply. "Your Majesty, my grandmother and father always say that my mother comes from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and has a distinguished status."

My aunt had no family to rely on, so my mother had to give in to her in everything.

Over the years, we've given in, but my grandmother and father still don't seem satisfied.

My grandmother said that I am infertile. Perhaps, as in the past, she does not want my husband to surpass my cousin, so she fabricated this lie.

"My body is not frail. I humbly request Your Majesty to summon the imperial physician to examine my pulse, so that I may prove I am worthy of Your Majesty's favor."

What a fitting description of His Majesty's great favor.

This Miss Ying is no ordinary person.

His Majesty's decree of marriage states that His Majesty values ​​Ying Yufu and has long been in His heart, but Old Lady Liu insists that Ying Yufu is unworthy and that she is infertile.

At this moment, Ying Yufu said that she was worthy of His Majesty's favor.

This is clearly saying that not only is Lady Liu framing her own granddaughter, but she is also saying that His Majesty has poor judgment.

For a moment, no one in the hall dared to speak up and get involved in the incident.

"Then please summon the imperial physician," Emperor Cangxuan said.

Soon, an eunuch went to fetch the imperial physician.

The Crown Prince then said, "Father, I have something to say."

"Your Highness, please speak," Emperor Cangxuan said coldly.

The Crown Prince said, "Father, regardless of whether what the old lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan said is true or false, even if it is true, I will still marry Ying Yufu as my Crown Princess. This is my promise to Ying Yufu from the beginning."

As the Crown Prince of Beixuan, I should be a man of my word, and a promise is worth a fortune.

If I break my promise to the Crown Princess today, wouldn't I be breaking my promise to all the people of the world in the future?

Such a treacherous act is something your son would never do.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Cangxuan's expression softened considerably, and he gave the Crown Prince an approving look.

Many of the ministers in the hall nodded in agreement, saying that as the heir apparent, the crown prince should act in this way!

The second prince's eyes widened instantly.

What does the Crown Prince mean?

He doesn't mind at all?

Ying Hengzhi's expression also changed. She was originally pleased with herself, thinking that Ying Yufu would eventually be unable to escape their control.

She could only obediently serve as her stepping stone.

But unexpectedly, the crown prince actually wanted to marry her?

For a moment, Ying Hengzhi clenched her fists tightly, her nails piercing her palms, yet she felt no pain.

Ying Yufu, how come she's so lucky?

However, some objected, saying, "Your Majesty, the succession of the Crown Prince concerns the foundation of the nation. This matter has nothing to do with breaking a promise, much less with betraying faith. On the contrary, it is Lady Ying who, knowing she was ill, still dared to accept the position of Crown Princess; this is disloyalty and she should be punished!"

The crown prince looked coldly at the official who had spoken; it was none other than Duan Yuqing, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Lord Duan, if a crown prince of a country is a person who breaks his promise because of his offspring, will he also be able to break his promise to others repeatedly for other reasons in the future?"

And, for some reason, could one even betray the trust of the world?

The second prince stood there blankly, like a piece of wood.

It was precisely because he knew that Fu'er was infertile that he became even more determined not to make her his principal wife.

But the Crown Prince actually argued so strongly that he... really didn't mind!

How could this be?

If this continues, won't Fu'er really have to marry the Crown Prince?

She clearly belongs to him!

Just then, the eunuch led in six imperial physicians.

The second prince's eyes lit up with joy. Yes, Zhi'er had told him that Fu'er had accidentally ingested a potion that would prevent her from having children, and that she was indeed infertile.

If the imperial physician diagnoses that Fu'er is indeed ill, then there is still room for her marriage to the Crown Prince to be salvaged.

These six imperial physicians were among the most outstanding veterans of the Imperial Medical Academy.

One person stepped forward, while the other five waited to the side, taking turns to take Ying Yufu's pulse.

After the first imperial physician finished examining Ying Yufu's pulse, his expression turned slightly strange.

Emperor Cangxuan's sharp gaze fell upon him. "Imperial Physician Zheng, how is Miss Ying's health?"

Physician Zheng knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, this young lady's pulse is steady and strong, she is in good health, and has no symptoms of coldness or weakness, so she will not have any difficulty conceiving."

Upon hearing this, Old Liu blurted out, "Impossible!"

Emperor Cangxuan's icy gaze shot towards him.

Physician Zheng turned to Old Madam Liu: "Is this old lady questioning my medical skills?"

Old Liu repeatedly said he dared not.

Physician Zheng snorted coldly and stepped aside, while a second physician stepped forward.

A moment later, the imperial physician ran up and said, "Your Majesty, this young lady is in perfect health."

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Old Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, her body swayed, and she almost collapsed.

Fortunately, she managed to keep her knees steady, thus avoiding any breach of etiquette before the emperor.

Ying Nanyao's expression gradually darkened.

Ying Hengzhi was so nervous that she forgot to breathe, staring intently at the last imperial physician.

After taking her pulse, the imperial physician said directly, "Your Majesty, this young lady is not only very healthy, but also robust. Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

He's really interesting; those two congratulatory remarks are quite intriguing.

A smile appeared in Emperor Cangxuan's eyes. "Good!"

He looked at Old Madam Liu, whose face had already turned deathly pale, and asked, "Madam Liu, what else do you have to say?"

Old Liu's lips trembled, and she was unable to utter a sound for a long time.

Instead, Ying Yufu said, "Your Majesty, my grandmother's accusations against me may not be solely to ruin my marriage; perhaps she is trying to cover something up."

Old Liu glared at her viciously.

What is she planning to do now?

Emperor Cangxuan seemed to be deep in thought.

The Crown Prince smiled and said, "Father, I suggest that we invite six imperial physicians to examine Miss Ying's pulse."
