Two months later.
Time flies and it is November. Even though Yao Country usually has a hot climate, one can still feel a slight autumn chill at this moment.
Jiang Ziyi's belly is already seven months old and is becoming more and more obvious.
For the past two months, she and the Queen Mother lived a secluded life in the villa, eating and sleeping every day, without any worries.
The palace has been surprisingly calm in the past two months, feeling like the time before a storm.
After Qin Zhun learned that Mingyue might be pregnant with the royal heir, he hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to write a secret letter to send to King Jin with this information.
The Qin family had very little power, and Ji Chenan had not paid much attention to it before.
It was only after Qin's self-destruction that he became interested in the Qin family.
Therefore, there are secret guards monitoring the area near the Qin Mansion every day.
As soon as the Qin family's messenger stepped out of the door, his movements were seen by the secret guards sent by Ji Chenan.
However, they discovered that the Qin family's messenger secretly delivered the letter to a bun shop in the market.
Then he joined the bustling crowd and left quickly.
Because there were so many people at the market, it was impossible to tell who took the letter, so the secret guard had to return to the palace to report the matter to Ji Chenan.
Although we don’t know who the letter was addressed to, it is an established fact that the Qin family passed the secret letter out!
Moreover, Ji Chenan already knew where the letter would be sent.
His eyes turned cold, and he murmured, "Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for not having a good time..."
The secret guards looked at Ji Chenan's face with fear. Every time His Majesty had this expression, it meant someone was going to die...
A few days later.
When King Jin saw the secret letter handed to him by his subordinates, he narrowed his eyes and his face darkened slightly.
He frowned and asked, "How is Concubine Yue now?"
The subordinate raised his eyes to look at Ji Chenjing's face, and hesitantly said: "The spies in the palace said that the Millennium Palace seemed to have summoned the imperial physician a few days ago..."
"It is said that...she is pregnant..."
After hearing this, Ji Chenjing clenched his fists suddenly. Is she pregnant?
Could it be that the prophecy of the master of Xuanfa is really effective?
He knew about Ji Chenan's illness, because the poison that Ji Chenan was infected with was given by his mother.
His mother was once a disciple of the Valley of Divine Doctors, but was expelled from the Valley of Divine Doctors because she accidentally killed someone with poison.
However, by chance, he saved the life of the former emperor in the wild, and this gave rise to Ji Chenjing.
However, his mother was unwilling to enter the palace, so she took him to live outside the palace.
Until one day, his mother asked him if he wanted to sit on the throne and be the boss.
Being still a child at that time, he replied without hesitation, "Yes."
He didn't know what method his mother used, but the crown prince Ji Chenan in the palace had been unable to have children since then.
At the same time, his mother's health became worse day by day, and she passed away soon after.
Because Ji Chenan had lost his fertility, the late emperor planned to appoint a new crown prince for the sake of future generations, so he brought him into the palace from outside the palace.
But before he could be helped to ascend the throne, the previous emperor died inexplicably.
He had been smart since he was a child, but when he saw that he had no one to rely on, he immediately chose to give up.
Ji Chenan was kind-hearted at that time and did not kill him. Instead, he made him the King of Jin and gave him a remote fiefdom, and he was not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned.
He survived like this. Over the years, he lived quietly in his fiefdom and only kept some staff under him.
As he grew up, he felt that his mother paid the price of her life so that he could sit on the throne, so that position should have been his.
The seeds of power took root in my heart.
The first person in the palace he tried to win over was Qin Zhun, the third-rank envoy who came to inspect the fiefdom on behalf of Ji Chen'an.
First, he promised him money, then taught him how to monitor the emperor's whereabouts and inform him, and how to give his daughter to Ji Chenan in order to gain official position, fame and fortune.
Fortunately, the blind cat happened to catch a dead mouse, and Qin Yao overheard the story of the destined person in Baiyun Temple, and then she naturally planned a scene of sacrificing herself to save the person.
This made Qin Zhun feel that the King of Jin was truly a man of great foresight and must be the son of a true dragon.
From then on, the Qin family was completely on the same boat with King Jin.
Ji Chenjing chose to place Qin Yao next to Ji Chenan because he knew that Qin Yao could not conceive Ji Chenan's child.
But even if someone can really get pregnant with Ji Chenan's child, so what?
A cold light flashed in his clear eyes. Wouldn't it be better to just kill all those who can get pregnant?
As long as all hopes of Ji Chenan's descendants are extinguished, there will be old ministers in the court willing to support him to become the new emperor!
Ji Chenjing threw the letter sent by Qin Zhun into the brazier. After a while, the flames devoured the letter.
The fierce look between his brows looked particularly fierce in the light of the fire.
Before I knew it, it was late at night and a heavy rain came pouring down.
A plan emerged in Ji Chenjing's mind.
