Chu Lang saw that the time had come and winked at the Imperial Censor Zuo Shilang who immediately stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, I remember that Concubine Jiang was pregnant less than three months after entering the palace. If Concubine Jiang really had an affair with the King of the Western Regions, this matter concerns the royal bloodline and must not be taken lightly. Now that the Western Regions are coming with such a strong force, there is no guarantee that they are not trying to bring back their old love and recognize their own children!

The Emperor of Chu looked at the civil and military officials present and veins in his forehead throbbed.
