how so?
As Mu Sijin approaches his ascension to the throne, what he fears most is the emergence of negative comments.
As the saying goes, "One should not covet a friend's wife." She has already put such a big hat on Mu Sijin, so why is he still so calm?
Before she even started causing trouble, Su Liuliu's confidence was shattered by Si Jin.
But remembering that she had taken Nan Yuan's money, she mustered her courage and continued to cry and whine: "Young Master, I'm over a month pregnant. No matter what, this is your child. You can't... bully me and then ignore me! Waaah~"
She had calculated it very clearly: a month ago, out of loyalty and affection, Mu Sijin went to see her despite his serious injuries.
After collapsing from exhaustion, she was rescued by Yue Gongzi of the brothel. She had a high fever and spent the night in the room next to Yue Gongzi's.
She could use this opportunity to frame Mu Sijin.
Regardless of his loyalty and years of care, if Nan Yuan said he could take her out of the brothel and give her enough money, she would stand by Nan Yuan's side without hesitation.
"You said... this is my child?" Si Jin asked, casually changing his self-reference.
This instantly silenced the onlookers, who dared not utter another word.
Imperial power is supreme; no matter how stupid they are, they wouldn't dare to criticize the future emperor.
Seeing that the momentum she had painstakingly built up had dissipated, Su Liuliu nervously swallowed and continued her act: "Young Master... oh no, His Majesty, are you so heartless that you don't even recognize your own child?"
"You have the audacity to do this in a brothel... but I don't have the courage to admit it? Why is the fate of women so bitter? Waaah~"
Su Liuliu spoke righteously, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
She had a child, even if it was from Nanyang, and she wasn't afraid of Mu Sijin verifying it, so she cried even more unrestrainedly.
It even aroused the sympathy of many women, who cried along with her.
"You want me to acknowledge you? Fine."
Hope ignited in Su Liuliu's eyes—she never expected Mu Sijin to be so easy to talk to.
But the next moment, Si Jin casually tossed the dagger she had just used to peel the apple to Su Liuliu and spoke irresponsibly.
"However, I don't want this child. You can stab yourself in the stomach and cut it out, and I will make you a Noble Consort. How about that?"
Under the sun, the dagger clattered to the ground, gleaming with a cold light, causing Su Liuliu to flinch involuntarily.
She's a mother, how could she kill her own child...?
"Your Majesty," Su Liuliu said, trembling as she picked up the knife, continuing her tearful attempt at moral blackmail, "If you intend to make me a Noble Consort, why did you kill our child? Do you think this child is not worthy of inheriting your throne?"
Good heavens, it's not even a hint yet, and they're already thinking about inheriting the throne.
Xiao Yao stuck out her tongue in disgust: 【Zeng Si is insatiably greedy!】
"Imperial Consort?" Just then, a jealous male voice came from the crowd: "Who wants to be made an Imperial Consort? The young emperor hasn't even ascended the throne yet, and he's already going to be a heartless lover."
The aroma of tea drifted from not far away as Sheng Linyuan, dressed in an official robe and holding a book, slowly approached from beside the carriage.
Stepping through the crowd, she stood before Su Liuliu, scrutinizing Si Jin like a pampered young lady vying for favor: "His Majesty fainted at Manjiang Tower that day, didn't you and I make love? Why are you pregnant again?"
"I remember that day... you didn't have a chance to be distracted at all~"
Are you... are you manipulating events just like Lord Sheng?
The well-informed wealthy could understand, but the elderly man was completely stunned and stared at Sheng Linyuan in bewilderment.
He quietly asked the old man beside him, "Two men, how... like that?"
"Oh dear, it's just..." The old man beside him blushed, as if he had seen something that made his face turn red. Just as he was about to explain secretly, he heard Sheng Linyuan say.
"There are plenty of ways for men to have sex with each other." He turned around and handed the book in his hand to the old man, enthusiastically introducing it to him.
"The original title of this novel is 'The Prime Minister is Above: The Charming Male Fox Seeks Gentle Favor,' written by Young Master Manjianglou. You may take a look, sir."
