Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage-Chapter 614 - : The Emperor’s Romantic Past
Chapter 614: Chapter 614: The Emperor’s Romantic Past
The Emperor was already bedridden, she ran over and blabbered, what if she irritated the Emperor further?
The Empress wished she could slap Jiang Ning twice.
She wasn’t afraid, once the Emperor was gone, the Crown Prince would take over.
What about her then, the Empress?
Although once the Crown Prince takes the throne, she – the legal mother – would become the legitimate Empress Dowager, but after all, she isn’t his biological mother. The Crown Prince won’t give her any importance.
She inwardly cursed Concubine Yu as a stupid and useless woman.
She wanted to support the Sixth Imperial Prince, but Concubine Yu instigated the Princess Consort to take back her child. freēnovelkiss.com
She deserves to be manipulated to death by the Princess Consort in the future!
The Empress, looking at Jiang Ning, whose bright smile and appearance were very similar to Lin Zizi, clenched her nails almost to the point of piercing into her palms.
She saw it now, not only did the Crown Prince not care about her, this Princess Consort wasn’t easy to deal with either.
Once the Emperor was gone for good, she would completely lose her power.
However, since Concubine Yu declined to side with her and insisted on taking back her child, the Empress didn’t want to take care of her child anymore.
It was just a little pesky monkey anyway.
She was already annoyed!
In the end, the Empress ordered someone to return the Sixth Imperial Prince to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu was so overjoyed she cried.
She finally understood who she should obey and depend on in this harem.
In the overwhelming joy, to thank Jiang Ning and show her loyalty, she revealed to Jiang Ning a huge secret.
Upon hearing it, Jiang Ning was also greatly shocked.
After questioning Concubine Yu thoroughly, she immediately went to see Li Hongyuan.
“Do you know about it?” She held onto the table, fixating her gaze on the Crown Prince, who was calmly reading a book behind the table.
“I vaguely heard about this rumor before.”
“Rumor?” Jiang Ning was stunned, “Brother, there’s no smoke without fire! This matter involves the royal family’s privacy. Who dares to spread such gossip with no substance? As a prince, aren’t you even a bit curious about having an illegitimate older brother?”
That’s right, the secret Concubine Yu revealed was that the Emperor had an illegitimate son outside.
Logically, the Emperor could have countless women. Once he had a child, that child would be a prince or a princess. Why would the royal bloodline be left outside?
The child should have been brought back to the palace to be raised.
The term ‘illegitimate son’ was dubious, almost laughable.
Moreover, according to Concubine Yu, it was likely to be true.
About twenty years ago, when the Emperor was young and not as obese as he is now, he was a short and handsome man. He encountered a beautiful woman while playing outside and they made love.
The beauty gave birth secretly.
Logically, if the Emperor liked the beauty, he would have brought her directly back to the palace.
But, she was already married.
The beauty was already a wife.
And she was the wife of the Emperor’s nephew, the Prince of Kang County!
If such an unethical matter were to leak out, wouldn’t it tarnish the royal family’s reputation?
The Prince of Kang County was so ashamed and angry he almost wanted to commit suicide.
The Empress Dowager personally went to the Prince’s mansion to pacify him and promised him many benefits, managing to suppress the matter.
What else could the Prince do?
He can’t really commit suicide, can he?
He held his nose, and raised that “bastard”.
All these, Concubine Yu told Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning, her gossipy soul ablaze, eagerly shared the news with Li Hongyuan.
However, Li Hongyuan’s reaction was very bland.
Without lifting his head, he said, “This kind of gossip about Emperor Father’s illegitimate son, has nothing to do with you. If you’re idle, why not go back to the Jiang Family and see if your father has tortured Mu Jian to death yet.”
