"Perhaps... I mean, maybe she had it with someone else...? After all, she doesn't look like a chaste person."

Gu Jingyan and the Queen Mother looked at her sternly, and Yan Yuyan felt a little nervous.

But she swallowed and mustered up the courage to say the next words.

After all, she thought, this was very important and might even affect her future, whether it was in heaven or on earth.

"Besides, Your Majesty..." She dared to look at his lower body with a flickering look in her eyes.

Gu Jingyan: ...

I wish I could dig out her eyes and feed them to the dogs!

But he endured it! He wanted to see what she could say!

"What I'm saying is, I don't believe someone could be so lucky. We have so many sisters in the harem, many of whom have tried for over a decade and still haven't been able to achieve it. And she's already achieved it in just a few days?"

She said it well, and this was indeed a question that everyone present had in their minds.

Including the Queen Mother. If she was initially struck by Gu Jingyan's word "grandson" and lost her mind with joy, now her sanity has returned.

I am such a fool. As the king of a country, I can't raise a child for someone else with the grassland on my head without knowing it, right?

But Gu Jingyan was quite confident.

For some reason, he felt that this child was his own flesh and blood.

Be sure and certain.

Since he picked her up from the ground that rainy night and brought her back to the Yangxin Palace, more than a month has passed, and Li Shushu has never left there since then.

Now, the fetus in her belly is just about one month old. If it’s not his, whose could it be?

Only he himself knows how hard he has worked and how crazy they have been during this period.

Although when he did those things, he was probably not doing it for offspring, but simply for...

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that they were able to achieve success without realizing it?

Now thinking back, her soft voice is still ringing in my ears: "I..., I mean, my mother and grandmother both have fertility physiques..."

She blinked her big, twinkling eyes with an innocent look on her face, "Maybe... maybe, I can give birth to a child for you."

At that time, he just thought she was a young girl who didn't know what sorrow was like and was joking without making any sense.

Looking back now, her tone and expression that day were so sincere.

It turned out..., she really didn't lie to her.

Is she really such a fertile person?

How lucky he is!

Just at this moment, Li Shushu moved in bed and seemed to wake up.

She struggled as if to get up.

Zhen'er and Zhu'er next to them wanted to go over and help.

Gu Jingyan rushed over first and stopped their actions.

He gently held her upper body, helped her up, and sat her in his arms.

Li Shushu opened her eyes, as if she had just seen so many people at the scene. She was so shocked that she struggled to break free from his arms, but she couldn't. She begged, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't move," Gu Jingyan's doting voice whispered in her ear, "You are pregnant with my child now, so be careful when you move. Don't hurt yourself or the baby in your belly."

"Ah?" Li Shushu stared at him with eyes wide open, an expression of disbelief. Then she reached out and touched her belly. "Your Majesty, are you saying that I am really pregnant?"

Gu Jingyan ignored the presence of everyone and kissed her on the forehead, "Isn't it true, Shu'er is pregnant with our child? Shu'er, you are so amazing, you are my lucky star!

I am truly delighted. When we return, I will reward you handsomely!"

Although she knew she was unpopular, Yan Xiaodie couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, have you confirmed that the baby in her belly is yours? Don't you need someone to check it out again?"

She was afraid that Gu Jingyan would not take her words seriously, so she turned around and shook the Queen Mother's arm again, "Mother, look at His Majesty, he has been so overwhelmed by the news of the pregnancy. What if he has been deceived?"

The Empress Dowager was indeed moved by what she heard. "Your Majesty, the matter of the royal heir is of great importance, so it is best to be cautious! Although I also want to hold a grandson, if this grandson comes from unknown origins... I would rather not hold him."

Upon hearing this, Li Shushu's face darkened. She struggled to get out of Gu Jingyan's arms, turned around and knelt in front of him, "Your Majesty..., Your Majesty, I didn't do it. Please believe me." Her voice was tearful, but she was full of confidence. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

"I believe you." Gu Jingyan reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, patted the back of her hand, and wanted to hug her again.

Li Shushu shook his body slightly and broke free.

She knew that the Emperor's letter alone was not enough, and she had to be ruthless so that others would have nothing to say, otherwise the subsequent rumors would drown her.

She raised three fingers and was about to swear, "I swear, Li Shushu has only ever had sex with His Majesty in this life... and has never done anything inappropriate with any other man. Never before, never in the future. If I lie, I wish to be struck by lightning..."

Gu Jingyan quickly covered up her next words and pulled her back into his arms with one hand, "Don't say it, Shu'er, I believe you, I said it, how could I not believe you?"

"But..." Li Shushu glanced down, where the empress dowager, Yan Yuyan, and a group of related and unrelated people were.

Gu Jingyan understood her concerns. He thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "I said this child is mine, so it is mine.

I have my own way of making conclusions!

Anyone, stop talking nonsense.

In the future, if I hear any rumors about this, I will chop off one person's head if I hear one, and I will chop off both heads if I hear two. Do you understand? "

Everyone was trembling with fear and knelt down to salute: "Yes"

But Yan Yuyan was still unwilling to give in, "Your Majesty..."

"Shut up!" Gu Jingyan glared at her, "It seems that I have been too indulgent towards you in the past, which is why you have repeatedly challenged my patience.

Come here, Imperial Noble Consort Yan Yuyan spread rumors to disturb the harem. She was dragged out and slapped thirty times. Her title of Imperial Noble Consort was taken away, she was demoted to Noble Consort, and she was confined to Zhongcui Palace for three months.

This will not happen again.

If this happens again, I will punish you by sending you to the cold palace. I never joke with you. Do you remember this?!"

"Yes," the servant came quickly.

"Your Majesty, please don't do that. I know I was wrong. Please take back your order." Yan Yuyan realized that she had stirred up a hornet's nest and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy...

But it was too late. Gu Jingyan turned his head away and was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.

Yan Yuyan was dragged out by several servants, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Soon outside, the sounds of slapping people in the face and a woman's screams of pain were heard.

Li Xiaodie hid behind the crowd, touching her cheek, and felt the pain on her face as the "pa, pa" sound came.

She wanted to say something more, but she wisely chose to shut up!
