Pregnancy is not unusual, but what is strange is that Shen Fu had recently suffered a miscarriage.

Subsequently, King Xuan went to the northwest and died in the chaos of war.

There are two unsolved mysteries surrounding this matter.

Firstly, the body has not yet recovered after a miscarriage, and it is generally recommended to wait at least three months before resuming sexual activity.

It is truly unbelievable that she could still be pregnant under such circumstances.

Secondly, it has been almost two months since King Xuan went to the Northwest!

Is this child definitely the Xuan King's?

Emperor Yong frowned and asked, "How long has Princess Xuan been pregnant?"

"Your Majesty, it's just been a month."

The crowd erupted in uproar.

The child is not King Xuan's!

Jun Qiyuan looked at Shen Fu, a sinister glint in his eyes.

OK!

No wonder she said she wanted to be a chaste and virtuous woman after the King Xuan died, and refused to obey her husband. It turns out she had already been having an affair with another man.

Who exactly is that adulterer?

Considering that she was only a month pregnant, it must have been around the time of the Qingyan Tea Party.

Later, he asked Shen Fu, who said that she noticed something was wrong that day and went out to see a doctor. She was also shocked to learn about his affair with Jiang Ruoyao and left the tea party.

Could it have been around that time...?

She lied!

Jun Qiyuan was shocked. His fists clenched, and another thought popped into his mind.

Is it possible that she was forced?

After what happened, she felt ashamed to be with him anymore, which is why she rejected his advances.

But he didn't even care that she got married, so naturally he could "forgive" this kind of thing.

Jiang Ruoyao, on the other hand, was gloating.

Her purpose in coming here today was to see Shen Fu make a fool of herself.

I never expected such a big "surprise" to happen!

What a model of noblewoman, what a pure and virtuous lady, what a refined and courteous woman! She's clearly just a promiscuous slut!

She immediately retorted sarcastically, "It's fortunate we found out today, otherwise wouldn't she still be trying to cover it up? If the Xuan King knew in the afterlife that his queen had cheated on him, he would probably die with his eyes wide open in disbelief!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was met with a furious rebuke from Jun Jingyan.

"Shut up! Princess Xuan would never do such a thing!"

"The facts are clear. Everyone is smart enough to know what she did."

A hint of amusement flashed in Murong Xiao's eyes.

This is getting more and more interesting. The King of Xuan's woman is actually having an affair?

He also wondered what Xiao Xuanjin would think if he knew this from beyond the grave. Would he be so angry that he would come back to life?

Jiang Ruoyao seized the opportunity to fan the flames: "A woman's adultery violates human ethics and propriety. According to the laws of the Great Yong Dynasty, this shameless woman and her unborn child should be drowned in a pig cage!"

"There must be some misunderstanding in this matter. I believe Princess Xuan is innocent, and the child in her womb is even more innocent! Moreover, this is a matter of life and death, and Father will make his own decision. How can you be allowed to treat human life so carelessly here!"

When Shen Fu woke up, this was the conversation she heard.

I was shocked and it took me a while to process this fact.

What?! She's pregnant!

Could it have been that night in the Valley of the Holy Healer...?

No wonder she's been feeling dizzy these past few days. I thought it was because she was too tired, but I never expected that she was pregnant.

But how could that be?

She clearly asked Yun Dai to prepare a contraceptive for her immediately, so why is she still...?

Suddenly, I remembered that when I was taking the medicine, Yun Dai was still nagging beside me.

They say all medicine has some toxicity, and if someone is pregnant, it's fate. Why kill an innocent little life?

She even said that with their looks, their children, whether boys or girls, would be extremely beautiful. Doesn't she have any expectations for that at all?

Shen Fu suddenly realized that she had lied to herself!

That's not a contraceptive at all, but a tonic to strengthen the body!

She clearly wanted to break off her relationship with that man, but she never expected it to end up like this.

Now we're about to get into even bigger trouble!

The argument finally stopped when Shen Fu woke up.

Emperor Yong asked coldly, "Princess Xuan, whose child is it?"

The moment Shen Fu learned she was pregnant, she started thinking of a solution.

She immediately and calmly replied, "Of course it belongs to the Xuan King!"

Jiang Ruoyao immediately retorted in a shrill voice, "You're lying! The imperial physician clearly said just now that you're only a month pregnant, but Prince Xuan has been gone to the Northwest for almost two months. How could he possibly get you pregnant out of thin air?"

How do you know he didn't come back?

Jiang Ruoyao was stunned for a moment before saying, "The Prince Xuan went to the Northwest by imperial decree. Wouldn't it be disobeying the imperial order to return without permission? Even if he really did return, why were we completely unaware?"

"Haven't you heard the saying that a general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders? He discovered that spies from the capital were secretly sending messages to the northwest, so he returned to investigate. To avoid alerting them, he naturally had to keep this secret."

You have to tell a story in a way that's half true and half false to make it more convincing.

Xiao Xuanjin had indeed mentioned to her before that the Northern Dynasty was still harboring treacherous intentions and had repeatedly tried to find opportunities to invade.

They have spies not only in the Northwest, but also in the capital.

As for the setting of returning to the capital without permission, apart from Xiao Xuanjin, there is no other person in the entire Yong Dynasty who has this privilege.

Therefore, what she said is completely reasonable!

Jiang Ruoyao was naturally unwilling to let her get away with it so easily, and immediately started to make things difficult for her.

"That's just your one-sided argument. The Xuan King is already dead; do you think he could jump out of his coffin to refute you?"

"Shut up! King Xuan is the God of War of our Great Yong. Without his protection, how could the people of Great Yong have enjoyed three years of peace and tranquility? How dare you insult his wife and children! You are utterly heartless!"

This remark successfully ignited the anger of everyone present, who all glared at Jiang Ruoyao.

Emperor Yong had no choice but to step forward and make a statement.

"Insolence! I will decide how to deal with this matter myself. Who do you think you are, daring to overstep your bounds here?"

Jiang Ruoyao was only focused on targeting Shen Fu, wanting to take this opportunity to kill her.

For a moment, he forgot his sense of propriety and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Father, please forgive me. Your daughter-in-law... just spoke without thinking."

Jun Qiyuan finally spoke up softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have known Princess Xuan for many years, and I believe she would never do such a thing, but..."

He abruptly changed the subject, looking at Shen Fu, "If possible, you'd better provide strong evidence to prove it, otherwise if today's events get out, your and your child's reputations will inevitably be affected."

Shen Fu immediately saw through his intentions.

He seemed to be speaking up for himself, but in reality, he was forcing her to prove herself.

If she cannot produce evidence, it will confirm that she is lying, and she may even be convicted of deceiving the emperor!

Little did he know that when Murong Xiao heard that Xiao Xuanjin had returned to the capital, alarm bells went off in his mind.

According to the scouts, the Xuan King was clearly in the Yong Dynasty's military camp the whole time, and never left until his death!
