Ji Chenan announced her canonization as queen in front of all the ministers, but the news of her pregnancy was still kept secret.

Because the person who assassinated him in the market has not been found yet. As an emperor, he has no prince yet. If he is assassinated, the person who will benefit the most is...

He already had a guess about who was trying to assassinate him, but he had not yet found any clear evidence. If that person was the one who assassinated him and learned that Jiang Ziyi was pregnant, she would definitely be in danger. He would never allow anything that would put her in danger.

After Ji Chenan finished reading the imperial edict, the crowd was filled with joy and the blessings from the court officials were endless.

At this time, someone came forward to congratulate him, "Brother Emperor, I offer you a toast."

Jiang Ziyi looked at this person curiously and found that he looked a bit similar to Ji Chenan, but Ji Chenan's overall appearance was more masculine, while this person looked a bit feminine.

In addition, he called Ji Chenan "Royal Brother", so she guessed that this person was probably Ji Chenan's brother.

Jiang Ziyi was not wrong in her guess. The person who came to greet her was none other than King Jin, Ji Chenjing.

Ji Chenjing is Ji Chenan's only brother. He was born to a commoner woman when the late emperor was traveling abroad and was raised outside the palace. Ji Chenan was the crown prince at the time, but he was poisoned and unable to have children. When the late emperor learned about this, he took his son back, but before he could replace the crown prince, he died of illness.

Ji Chenan, who was still the crown prince at the time, ascended the throne as the new emperor.

Fortunately, Ji Chenjing was very aware of the current situation and took the initiative to admit that he had no interest in the throne. So Ji Chenan granted him a fiefdom and named him King of Jin. Over the years, he has been very law-abiding and has not caused any trouble.

But at this moment, Ji Chenan looked at him thoughtfully.

After noticing that there was no unusual expression on Ji Chenjing's face, Ji Chenan introduced Jiang Ziyi, "This is Prince Jin, Ji Chenjing."

Jiang Ziyi's intuition told her that this man was not as honest as he appeared.

Although it was fleeting, she felt a hint of the look a man would have when looking at a woman in his eyes.

She just nodded coldly and ignored him.

Ji Chenan also noticed Jiang Ziyi's coldness, so he stopped chatting with him and let him leave.

After all, he was not familiar with his nominal brother. He only knew through the memorials submitted that the fiefdom granted to the King of Jin was well governed.

That's why he had thought before that if he had no descendants, he would abdicate and hand over the throne to Prince Jin in a few years.

But now it’s different. Now he has Ziyi, and Ziyi is pregnant with his child. If the child is a prince, he can pass the throne to his son.

Ji Chenjing stepped back and disappeared into the crowd. Looking at the two people standing on the high ground, the eagerness in his eyes was no longer concealed.

The throne and women are what he desires.

How could someone who couldn't have children become emperor? He, also of royal blood, could only be a small prince of Jin on his fiefdom. If the previous emperor hadn't passed away long ago, the throne should have been his...

Especially since there was such a beautiful woman beside Ji Chenan.

No wonder that woman Qin couldn't beat her!

When he mentioned Qin, he was furious. He had clearly warned her to keep a low profile, but she refused to listen and was even thrown into prison for vying for his favor.

He touched his chin, looked at Jiang Ziyi on the stage, and murmured, "Such a beauty is really wasted with such an incompetent man..."

If it were him, he would definitely make this woman beg for mercy under him.

In the joyous and solemn atmosphere, the filthy things in his mind were overwhelming.

He thought that he was not a person without ambition. He felt that he was a person who was good at forbearance and lying dormant.

He looked at Ji Chenan and Jiang Ziyi on the high platform, greed in his eyes.

Sooner or later, he will get both the throne and this woman.

There was another person in this palace, and his face was pale.

This person was Qin Zhun, Qin's biological father. He was a third-rank envoy before. When he went to the fiefdom of Prince Jin, he met His Royal Highness Prince Jin. When Prince Jin heard that he had a daughter, he gave him an idea and guaranteed that his daughter could enter the palace as a concubine to help him get promoted.

He followed the method provided by Prince Jin and designed the Baiyun Temple incident.

As expected, his daughter successfully became Concubine Duan, and he himself was promoted to a second-rank minister and infiltrated the palace guard department.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin also sent him a lot of treasures to congratulate him, and he also passed on a lot of gossip in the palace to the Prince of Jin.

However, even if he infiltrated the palace guards, he had no way of finding out the specific reason why his daughter was thrown into the Sky Prison. He only knew that she had offended the new Princess of Shen.

He originally thought that he could continue to rely on his daughter to get promoted in official positions, but unexpectedly, his daughter was thrown into the sky prison and he couldn't even visit her.

And now, the Princess of Shen State has actually been crowned as the Queen?!

He didn't know what happened, he only knew that if his daughter lost power, then he...

While he was still worried about his future, he didn't know that what was even more terrifying was that Ji Chenan actually knew that there was another hidden story behind the assassination at the gate of Baiyun Temple, and he had already suspected him.

After the enthronement ceremony, Jiang Ziyi also moved to Fengluan Palace and was equipped with more servants. Each servant was personally selected by Ji Chenan and then sent by Eunuch Lin.

As an elder in the palace, Nanny Qiu Jin had once taken care of pregnant women, so she had rich experience in how to keep the fetus safe and nourished. Ji Chenan had been thoughtful in choosing to transfer Nanny Qiu Jin to her.
