The Regent Princess suddenly became pregnant. Was it a real pregnancy or a fake one? Some even suspected that it was the Regent's child. After all, it was true that the Regent was injured, and there was no news of any miracle doctor curing the prince.

The first person to come was the wife of Duke Cheng'en. She originally wanted to be polite, but her purpose was too strong. Dan Ruo simply spoke directly:

"If you have any doubts, feel free to touch me."

The wife of Duke Cheng'en looked embarrassed, but she actually touched her slightly bulging belly.

In the end, she went back without saying anything. Danruo knew that she came to test the waters. Sure enough, a few days later, the Queen Mother summoned her into the palace. Ji Chenglin was worried.

Dan Ruo assured him that there would be no problem as long as she took Cai Wei with her. Cai Wei was the female doctor sent by Ji Chenglin.

After sending Danruo to the Empress Dowager's palace, Ji Chenglin went to the front court to handle some matters. He promised to pick her up in a while and looked at the Empress Dowager's personal nanny with a warning look.

The nanny shrank back and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Queen just wants to see the young lady alone and will never hurt her."

Danruo entered the hall, the empress dowager dismissed everyone, and Caiwei was pulled away by the nanny. Danruo looked at Caiwei soothingly.

The Queen Mother helped Danruo sit down and said, "Silly child, are you blaming your aunt?" Her eyes turned red after she said that.

Dan Ruo shook her head, and then she heard the Queen Mother continue with tears in her eyes:

“You and I are both legitimate daughters. We have known since childhood that family is the most important thing. Our husband may have countless women, but as long as our family prospers, our position will be stable.

The late emperor loved every girl he met. My aunt was childless, but because she was born into the Cheng'en Mansion, which was at the forefront of the aristocratic family, her status was stable.

Now power needs to be continued. The Queen and you are both pregnant, but the Regent has a strong character and is difficult to control. His ruthless approach in the court will not tolerate the rise of foreign relatives.

He is even weakening the power of the aristocratic families, which is why the aristocratic families are willing to unite and support me.

To put it bluntly, the emperor had never been trained by a legitimate heir, had no strategy or insight, had obvious shortcomings, and was very easy to control.

How about you pretend you accidentally miscarried the child when you return, and pretend you were never pregnant? That way, the Regent will not threaten the Queen's child of the Ning family's bloodline."

She really didn't want to use those despicable methods on her niece who she had watched grow up, so she wanted to persuade her to do it herself.
