But the news was still uncertain, and the servants wanted to seize every opportunity to get themselves out, reporting any slight movement.

Sheng Jingyu was startled and carefully calculated, saying, "How long has she been imprisoned? Besides, the two of them were just meeting and talking in the mansion."

Su Wenyuan said, "If she is really pregnant, it must be because of something that happened before she was imprisoned. No wonder the Crown Prince cares about her so much."

Lu Wanying is really going all out, even though she knows her identity is not good enough.

She thought that as long as they consummated their marriage, even if she couldn't become the Crown Princess, she could still be a concubine, and the Crown Prince would definitely not let her down.

Let's go to the Crown Prince's residence first; we'll talk about the rest later.

"If she really is pregnant, it would actually help her," Su Wenyuan said with a slight smile.

She knew it! The female lead wouldn't get away so quickly; she'd be entangled with the main character for a while.

Sheng Jingyu said, "Her father revealed a lot of information, but on the matter of Marquis Anle, he insisted that he obtained the information from prisoners captured in Qikong Kingdom, and he kept repeating this statement no matter how you asked him."

"If we can convict him sooner, the Lu family members can be dealt with sooner as well."

The Emperor doesn't have a grandson yet! If Lu Wanying is really pregnant, the Emperor will keep her without Consort Wan even having to ask.

Sheng Jingyu wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so he sent the person away.

Su Wenyuan disagreed, saying, "It's no use. Even the old nanny can see it. She's not stupid. Even if Lu Guanfeng is convicted now, she won't be in any trouble."

Meng Qi questioned, "What if she's not pregnant? If she is, why isn't she saying so now?"

Su Wenyuan smiled, tossed the needle and thread in her hand aside, and said, "Not only do we need to save our lives, but we also need to protect our reputations, both hers and the Crown Prince's. If things don't get too urgent, there are better ways, such as secretly telling Consort Wan."

If this is said publicly and openly, the Crown Prince will lose all face.

If this matter were kept secret and sent to the Crown Prince's residence as soon as possible, and the pregnancy was faked after marriage, then one could save face, save the child, and of course, save one's life.

Ye Shan thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone keep an eye on things and confirm if she's really pregnant."

The most important thing is to confirm this first; only after confirmation can Su Wenyuan take the next step.

After everyone left, Sheng Jingyu lowered his voice and asked, "What did Ye Shan say to you? How did you know she was pregnant?"

Su Wenyuan said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that she's this month..."

Halfway through her sentence, Su Wenyuan suddenly remembered something.

However, if her period is delayed, she immediately suspects the other person is pregnant. What about herself?

How long has it been since our wedding night?

Su Wenyuan slapped her thigh twice in a panic and hurriedly ran to the warehouse to find Yuexiu.

Sheng Jingyu stared at her blankly, "What?!" She only said half of what she meant.

Yuexiu was startled by Su Wenyuan. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Su Wenyuan was sweating profusely and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Was my period regular before? Why hasn't it come this month?"

Yuexiu replied, "It's always been forbidden, and it's often delayed. Does the Princess feel uncomfortable?"

Su Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No, I feel fine. You scared me to death."

She didn't dare to go to Hua Ling about this.

Outside the sealed-off General's Mansion, Sheng Yuanhe looked with delight at the high walls of the mansion.

The good news came too quickly; now Consort Wan will definitely like Lu Wanying.

Sheng Yuanhe didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight to the palace.

Consort Wan felt annoyed whenever she heard Sheng Yuanhe coming over.

He even wanted to personally urge Sheng Jingyu to get rid of that little vixen from the General's Mansion as soon as possible.

"Mother!" Sheng Yuanhe was not as gloomy as usual; she seemed very happy today.

Consort Wan thought he wouldn't mention Lu Wanying again, and said with a smile, "What happy event is there that makes you so happy?"

Sheng Yuan dismissed his attendants and excitedly announced, "Wanying is pregnant."

Consort Wan's smile froze on her face. Was this a happy occasion?

"She's an unmarried girl, and you!" Consort Wan stood up angrily, feeling that he had truly lost his mind.

Sheng Yuanhe's excitement faded somewhat when he didn't see the scene he had imagined.

Consort Wan retorted angrily, "You are the Crown Prince!"

It's one thing for others to be impolite, but how could the crown prince do such a thing?

If the Emperor had another prince comparable to Sheng Jingyu, the position of Crown Prince would not have been his.

Sheng Yuanhe must feel somewhat guilty about being criticized.

“Mother, Father has no grandson yet. If Wanying gives birth to a boy, he will be Father’s first grandson.”

When the emperor did not yet have a son, Sheng Jingyu was the first, and the late emperor paid special attention to him.

Later on, he was always the first to receive the best things.

Now that the Emperor is about to have a grandson, Sheng Yuanhe believes that the Emperor will surely follow the example of the late Emperor and attach great importance to this first grandson.

Consort Wan was so shocked that she truly felt that Sheng Yuanhe had lost his mind.

He wouldn't have acted so recklessly before Lu Wanying came back.

"She's already embroiled in trouble. Even if she's pregnant, so what? Do you still want to marry her? I don't even want to acknowledge a grandson of the emperor who isn't legitimate, let alone the emperor," Consort Wan rebuked angrily.

She used to dislike Lu Wanying's mother, but now she hates her father as well.

"The Crown Princess should be a girl from a good family and with a good background! Not the daughter of a prostitute. Look at the way she's learned to behave. She's not even married yet, and she's already having an affair with you. How can she be the Crown Princess?"

Consort Wan tried her best to remain calm and composed.

The Crown Prince is already confused; she cannot let herself be confused by anger.

Sheng Yuanhe slowly lowered his head. He liked Lu Wanying very much and felt that she was similar to himself when he was young, both of whom were neglected and suffered a lot of grievances.

He had indeed considered marrying her, but there were some unavoidable practical issues.

Consort Wan took a deep breath and said, "I cannot make her the Crown Princess, but she is now pregnant. The royal bloodline cannot be allowed to flow outside like this. I will think of another way."

The smile on Sheng Yuanhe's face had long since vanished; he couldn't be happy with this answer.

"You don't need to look so miserable anymore, at least her life is saved!" Consort Wan glared at him irritably.

Now she felt even more strongly that Lu Wanying was a vixen who had managed to save her life in this way.

After the Crown Prince left, Consort Wan's first priority was to confirm whether her pregnancy was real or not.

What if Lu Wanying was faking it?

But outside the General's Mansion, there are only Sheng Jingyu's men. How can the doctor be allowed to enter?

Consort Wan came up with an idea and got up to go find the Emperor.

If Lu Wanying is really pregnant, even if she can't be the Crown Princess, she can at least be a concubine.

At worst, she could be sent to Sheng Yuanhe's side as a concubine, and her true identity could be revealed later when she was more pregnant.

Su Wenyuan was also trying to find a way to get Hua Ling in.

It wasn't difficult for him to enter the general's mansion; the difficult part was taking Lu Wanying's pulse without anyone noticing.
