Chapter 180 Pregnancy (1)
"My humble brother likes the young lady from the Shen family."
With a roar, the hall erupted in an uproar, all eyes turning to the three legitimate daughters of the Shen family. Of the three, Shen Qing was already engaged, leaving only Shen Yue and Shen Miao. Shen Yue was gentle and charming, her talent renowned far and wide, while Shen Miao was now a graceful young lady, her bearing commanding attention. More importantly, behind Shen Miao lay the imposing figure of Shen Xin. Everyone could clearly see that the person Prince Yu was staring at was none other than Shen Miao.
For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Miao with extremely strange eyes, some gloating, others sympathetic and pitiful. The previous wife of Prince Yu died in an unclear manner, and everyone knew that there must be something fishy. And everyone also knew what kind of devilish character Prince Yu was. But such a person, deeply protected by the royal family, on one side was a dignified and mighty general, and on the other was the brother who had saved the emperor's life. How should he choose?
After Prince Yu finished speaking, Shen Xin's expression darkened, and veins even popped out on his forehead. The reputation of the mighty general was never undeserved. For a moment, a fierce and violent aura suddenly emerged, causing everyone around him to change their expressions.
I am a loyal minister, but if I can't even protect my own daughter, even if it means risking my life and achievements, Shen Xin will not be afraid to confront Prince Yu.
Shen Qiu also tightened his lips and stared at Prince Yu fiercely, as if as long as Prince Yu said Shen Xin's name, he would rush out and fight Prince Yu to the death.
As for Luo Xueyan, she was already holding Shen Miao's hand tightly, her cheerful smile had long since fallen, replaced by a deep and fierce look, like a mother wolf protecting her cubs, not giving in to the other party's pressure at all.
The Shen family's behavior was witnessed by those around them, and they couldn't help but sigh inwardly. With Emperor Wenhui currently atop the throne, the Shen family's gesture created a tense atmosphere. Emperor Wenhui was suspicious, and the Shen family, while acting with such undaunted authority, weren't they afraid of this potentially upsetting Emperor Wenhui in the future?
Prince Ding’s eyes also moved slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Shen Miao.
"It seems that this Fifth Miss Shen is truly General Shen's treasure." Su Mingfeng whispered to Xie Jingxing, "The Shen family can actually do this for her."
To confront Prince Yu was to become an enemy of the imperial family. Regardless, the Shen family's actions at this moment clearly demonstrated their unyielding attitude. Even if Emperor Wenhui issued an order, the Shen family would not easily agree.
Xie Jingxing smiled lazily and remained silent.
In the corner, Pei Lang's grip on the teacup tightened slightly. What would the girl who could shoot arrows at her classmates without blinking in the examination field do?
Emperor Wenhui's smile was somewhat mysterious, and his gaze towards the Shen family was also slightly dark. He asked, "Which girl of the Shen family is your favorite, my prince?"
Everyone was waiting for Prince Yu's answer. Shen Qing had a happy smile on his face. However, before the smile could get any higher, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He couldn't help but scream "Ah" and fell to the ground holding his stomach.
"What's going on?"
"Qing'er!"
Shen Qing's sudden action startled everyone. Ren Wanyun immediately hugged her in her arms. Shen Qing's face quickly turned pale. Shen Yue pulled the corner of Chen Ruoqiu's clothes. The latter's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he looked directly at Shen Miao.
The purple-clad girl sat at the table, her expression unwavering. She met Chen Ruoqiu's gaze, smiled faintly, then turned to look at Luo Xueyan and asked worriedly, "What's wrong, big sister? Are you poisoned?"
