Because Princess Chen was pregnant, the matter of the eldest prince's death was temporarily shelved and handed over to the Dali Temple for handling. The emperor's focus shifted to the royal heir.

About an hour later.

Qin Ye, who was almost dizzy, woke up slowly:

"Um……"

She opened her eyes weakly, held her head with her hands, and moaned weakly: "I...what's wrong with me..."

"Hurry up and lie down." The emperor, who had been standing by the bed, stepped forward and scolded, "Child, you didn't even know you were pregnant, and you ran all the way to the palace. How can you be a mother?"

If she got a miscarriage or bumped her stomach, hurting the baby, he would definitely punish her.

God knows, he really, really wants a grandson.

He is fifty years old this year!

When others are fifty years old, their grandchildren will call them "Grandpa"!

"Pregnant?" Qin Ye stared, stunned. He lowered his head in astonishment and touched his flat belly. "I... I'm pregnant?"

The emperor sat down and pulled the quilt over her:

"Are you happy?"

"Are you excited? It's a pleasant surprise, right?" Looking at Qin Ye's 'dazed' look of happiness, the emperor couldn't close his mouth with joy.

"The imperial physician has checked your pulse. It's been more than a month, but the fetus is still unstable. I have given you a lot of medicine to stabilize the fetus. For the next year, you don't have to do anything. Just give birth to the baby safely!"

"When the time comes, I will give you credit for your great achievement, hahaha!"

The emperor rubbed his hands happily and looked at the woman's belly with smiling eyes, wishing that a child would jump out and call him grandpa at this moment.

Qin Ye slowly lowered his eyes.

Happy, naturally happy.

Unexpected, very unexpected.

She had originally planned to keep her pregnancy a secret, not even telling Zong Zhengchen, but then something happened with the eldest prince, and Zong Zhengchen was framed again, so she had to use her pregnancy to shift the focus.

Gently caress the warm belly.

This child came just in time. Although Zong Zhengchen didn't like it, she would definitely give birth to her.

No matter what happens in the future, just accept it.

After thinking about it, he propped himself up and sat up, "Father, my brother's death was not caused by me, nor by Prince Chen. We were framed. If we wanted to harm someone, we would not have kept the evidence. We are not fools."

"I know, I know."

The emperor waved his hands to calm her down.

"You are pregnant now, so don't worry about the eldest prince. The Dali Temple will find out the truth sooner or later. I will not wrongly accuse anyone."

Qin Ye pretended to be anxious:

"But someone wants to harm me, wants to harm King Chen. If they fail this time, they will definitely try again next time..."

The emperor's eyes deepened when he heard this.

Could it be that someone knew about Princess Chen's pregnancy in advance and wanted to take preemptive action?

Thinking about it carefully, what Qin Ye said makes sense. If Prince Chen really wants to kill the eldest prince, there are plenty of opportunities. Why assassinate him? Why keep the evidence and fall into the trap?

Zong Zhengchen would never do such a stupid thing.

Furthermore, the eldest prince has already entered the clan residence and poses no threat. Why would Princess Chen take the huge risk of assassinating him?

It seems that someone is really framing Prince Chen's Mansion and wants to harm his grandson!

He immediately turned around and ordered Zong Zhengchen: "Seventh Brother, for the next year, hold on tight, open your eyes wide, pay 500% attention, and protect your wife."

"If the baby in your wife's belly cannot be born safely, I will punish you as well!"
