After Qi Yizi understood what King Jing meant, she made her skin color darker, but she did not do anything else to make herself look ugly.
Today she was sitting openly beside King Jing. She didn't want to embarrass herself when she met Sultan Ruo, King Jing's former fiancée and now deeply in love with him. She would wear a veil when she went out anyway.
After Danruo waited for half an hour, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
King Jing stood up to open the door, and skillfully helped Qi Yizhi sit down. Seeing Dan Ruo's sneer, he realized that he had forgotten his disguise. He looked at Qi Yizhi and said in feigned anger:
"Don't think that just because you have a child, you can drag your feet and make Miss Su wait. Do you still remember your identity? You are just a lowly servant."
Qi Yizi cooperated by bowing his head and apologizing, deliberately lowering his voice.
Dan Ruo was suspicious, "Is it true this time?"
King Jing generously asked Danruo to ask the doctor who had just been there to come and take his pulse. It couldn't be true, as the doctors in the palace had examined him many times.
Dan Ruo nodded: "Since the prince has said so, let's let the doctor take a look, so that the prince won't be deceived."
Qi Yizhi was furious when she heard that Sultan Ruo was actually alluding to her. She wanted to get angry but seeing King Jing was beside her, she said aggrievedly:
"This servant's child is indeed yours. If it is not, my whole family will be struck to death by lightning."
King Jing was even more dissatisfied with Sultan Ruo, but for the sake of achieving great things, he could endure it. He pulled Qi Yizi's hand under the table to show that he believed in her.
Qi Yizi was touched by the sweetness of this secret interaction, especially when she looked at Su Danruo opposite her. She felt happy when she thought about stealing Su Danruo's man.
The doctor examined her again, confirmed that she was pregnant, and sent her away again.
However, this time, as soon as he came out of the private room, he was seen by people in the next room and was called to deal with the burns of Mr. Su urgently.
After being confirmed by the doctor, Qi Yizhi felt a little proud:
"Your Majesty, I did not lie to you. This child of mine is yours."
King Jing gave her a soothing look, then looked at Dan Ruo and frowned:
"Now that the person has seen it, I will also fulfill your request and sentence this servant to death. You have been delayed outside for too long today. It would be bad for you if someone saw me meeting you alone.
Go back to the Bo Mansion and pretend to be pregnant. I'll come back to see you when I have time. Also, don't go back to the Su family for the next year to avoid being discovered.
Oh, remember to tell Su Zhaoyi about Yizhi's cousin Jia Hui."
King Jing was about to get up and leave when Dan Ruo stopped him. She walked over to Qi Yizhi and said:
"I heard from the prince that you and I look a lot like each other. Let me take a look."
Qi Yizi was about to retreat behind King Jing when Danruo quickly lifted her veil. She covered her face to prevent Danruo from seeing. Danruo picked up the cold tea on the table and poured it on her face. The black powder on her face dripped onto her dress with the tea.
Qi Yizi's face was exposed without a doubt, and everything happened in a flash.
King Jing was about to scold her when he saw Qiu'er open the door. Danruo shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty, you actually got Qi Yizhi pregnant."
Su Tian, who was in the private room next door, had just applied ointment for the burn on his hands and happened to open the door to send the doctor out.
Hearing this voice, he pretended to be surprised and appeared in front of Danruo:
"Sister, why are you here? What did you just say? Qi Yizhi is your husband, how could he be pregnant by King Jing? You will be punished for slandering the prince. Even if you are my sister, I will never protect you."
The people Su Tian invited today came from all factions, including those close to King Jing, direct descendants of the Su family, Wang Qian, the son of the censor who was famous for his integrity, and even Qi Yizhi's enemy, who came out immediately after hearing the noise outside.
After Su Ting finished speaking about sacrificing his own family for the sake of justice, the second son of the Marquis of Zhennan, who was close to King Jing, immediately came to King Jing's aid.
"Sudanruo, as a woman, you slandered King Jing and wrongly accused your own husband. Don't you want to live?"
A group of people blocked the door tightly, and King Jing and Qi Yizi couldn't get out. Qi Yizi anxiously hid behind King Jing.
Faced with doubts, Dan Ruo first asked the doctor to testify whether the woman inside was pregnant.
The doctor was in receipt of favors from the Su family, so even though he was facing King Jing, he told the truth about what had just happened.
Qiu'er stepped forward and said, "The woman just now said she was a servant in Prince Jing's mansion, pregnant with Prince Jing's child, and wanted to give the child to our lady to raise. Our lady was curious about her face and accidentally splashed tea on her face. Only then did she realize that she was actually our lady's husband, Qi Yizhi, the young master of Siqi's mansion."
Dan Ruo said sadly, "I was wondering why my husband never consummated our marriage three years after our marriage. I never expected that he was actually a woman and had King Jing's child.
No wonder my husband has never liked me and has let his confidant Zhou Yang harm me repeatedly. I have been constantly subjected to various accidents caused by Zhou Yang in the uncle's mansion, with the intention of killing me.
When I went on an outing with King Jing and Qi Yizhi, it was Qi Yizhi who cut my robe, which ruined my reputation. If I hadn't married Qi Yizhi, my reputation would have been ruined and I would have had no way to survive."
Su Tian looked at Dan Ruo with sorrow: "I never thought that you would be treated so unfairly, sister. Don't worry, I will fight for justice for you even if it costs me my life."
Qi Yizhi's mortal enemy since childhood, the youngest son of Lord Sinan, spoke up:
"That's Qi Yizhi. I'd recognize him even if he turned into ash. No wonder he pushed me into the pond when I wanted to go to the toilet with him when I was little. He even accused me of falling into the pond on my own because no one saw it. Then the adults believed him even more because he was always well-behaved and thought I was lying."
