Concubine Chen calmed herself down and stood up with her wine glass in hand.

Jiang Zhili looked at Chen Bin with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Tonight, Concubine Chen is wearing a light blue dress and her hair is covered with red hairpins. Under the illumination of the gorgeous palace lanterns, she is very eye-catching.

It's obvious that he's going to cause trouble.

After Concubine Zhou was demoted, Concubine Chen was also confined to her house for more than a month. It seems that she is planning a big move now.

This Concubine Chen had only said a few words to her before, and she would not harm Concubine Chen.

But she couldn't resist, and Chenpin kept bumping into her knife tip...

The sound of stringed instruments in the hall gradually faded away, and everyone's attention was attracted by the pearl hairpin on Concubine Chen's head.

Chen Pin walked up to Pei Lin holding a wine glass. She bowed gracefully with a hint of shyness on her face.

"I congratulate Your Majesty on the birth of his son."

After saying that, Chen Pin drank the wine in her hand in one gulp.

Pei Lin sat upright, his eyes lowered to look at his hands clasped with Jiang Zhili, without even glancing at Chen Bin.

Chen Pin's outfit tonight was very dazzling and really disgusting. What's more, Chen Pin had had a dispute with Zhizhi before, which made him even more disgusted.

Chen Pin looked at Pei Lin with a cold expression, and her mind couldn't help but recall the tenderness she had with him when she first entered the palace.

Now that Wencun is gone, His Majesty is even holding hands with other women.

How could she not feel resentment in her heart...

What virtue or ability did Jiang Zhili have to deserve the favor of His Majesty? Even the child in her belly may not be His Majesty's!

Concubine Chen hid the jealousy in her eyes, forced a smile, and raised her voice: "Noble Concubine Yi and Your Majesty truly have a deep friendship.

"I heard that on the day that Noble Concubine Yi rescued Your Majesty, she once encountered bandits all alone. After a desperate fight with the bandits outside the capital, she rescued Your Majesty again. Noble Concubine Yi is truly a heroine!"

Chenpin's voice was loud enough for everyone in the palace to hear.

No one else knew the details of Jiang Zhili and Pei Lin's encounter, but when Concubine Chen spoke, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

The private affairs of the royal family are naturally the most likely to arouse curiosity.

As the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, how did she save His Majesty, and how did she encounter the bandits alone? The details are thought-provoking.

Normally, if a woman encounters bandits, she might be raped at best, or even lose her life at worst. How did Concubine Yi escape when she was alone?

As the daughter of the Jiang family, why would she appear alone in the suburbs of Beijing? What happened during this period was indeed suspicious.

The sound of stringed instruments in the hall had completely stopped at this time, and everyone in the hall looked at Jiang Zhili with different expressions.

Chen Bin's words had a deeper meaning. Overtly and covertly, they were targeting the child in Jiang Zhili's belly.

The emperor was ill, and this was no longer a secret. The emperor had been on the throne for more than ten years, and none of the concubines in the harem had given birth. How come Concubine Yi became pregnant as soon as she entered the palace?

This matter is fraught with doubts.

In every dynasty, there have been cases of people climbing over walls and borrowing children to win favor.

Zhao Li stood up and looked at Chen Pin with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

His expression was serious, and there was a hint of warning in his words: "Empress Chen, you are wrong.

"Empress Yi was born as the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, so how could she leave the house alone? This matter could be big or small. As a concubine in the harem, Empress Chen must not listen to slanderous words!"

He and Your Majesty have fought on the battlefield several times. With Your Majesty's strategy, he will certainly not be blinded by such a major event!

"General Zhao has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, so he must know very little about the dark and dirty things going on in the backyard," Jiang Luoyu stood up at this time.

She straightened her back and her pretty face was full of integrity.

After Jiang Luoyu finished speaking, she subconsciously looked at Pei Lin's expression, but found that the other party's expression had not changed.

Could it be that His Majesty was determined to trust Jiang Zhili? Jiang Zhili was already a fallen woman, pregnant with an illegitimate child. She was not worthy of standing by His Majesty's side!

Jiang Luoyu gritted her teeth and continued, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is my sister. She secretly left the palace that day and then took a escort carriage out of the city.

Afterwards, I made some inquiries and learned that the escort vehicle had encountered bandits outside the capital. My sister is beautiful, and I am afraid she has been..."

Letting her watch Jiang Zhili transform into a phoenix is ​​more painful than cutting her flesh!

Jiang Zhen, who was sitting next to Jiang Luoyu, had a gloomy expression and felt angry and panicky in his heart.

Some time ago, when the news of Jiang Zhili's pregnancy spread in the palace, he felt mixed emotions. He didn't expect that the daughter he had carefully raised was of no use.

On the contrary, the concubine who was disliked by him was promoted four levels after entering the palace, and was even pregnant with the emperor's seed, becoming the most favored concubine in the entire harem. It is really unpredictable.

After his initial shock, he accepted it calmly. As a veteran treacherous official with decades of experience, he could immediately guess that Jiang Zhili must have used many tricks during this period.

But what does it matter? Behind Jiang Zhili is the Jiang Mansion. No matter what means she uses, as long as she climbs up, the Jiang Mansion will be the first beneficiary.

As for his carefully nurtured daughter, Jiang Luoyu? Currently, her value is far inferior to Jiang Zhili.

His intelligence is far inferior to Jiang Zhili's...

Now, Jiang Luoyu actually said such divisive words at the palace banquet out of jealousy, which made him extremely angry!

In Jiang Zhen's view, no matter what happened to the Jiang family bloodline, they should not harm each other like this, and the Jiang family's influence must not be affected.

Jiang Luoyu's words obviously touched Jiang Zhen's bottom line.

Jiang Zhen stood up and said angrily, "Jiang Luoyu, shut up! How dare you be so suspicious of your sister? Don't you know how much hardship she has endured since entering the palace?!"
