Granted marriage?
Old Madam Zhu and Zhu Xuanyuan and his wife looked at Feng Changye in great surprise.
Could it be that the Emperor felt sorry for the Zhu family because he almost accidentally killed them this time, so he planned to make amends to them?
He just promoted Long Yuan and gave him a higher position, and now he wants to give him a marriage!
And she was not given to an ordinary noble lady, but a princess of the royal family!
This honor made the Zhu family extremely flattered!
Unfortunately, this honor came too late.
Long Yuan already has a wife and children...
"emperor!"
Zhu's family felt that this was an honor, but for Song Anqiao, it was like a bolt from the blue.
She looked at Feng Changye in disbelief!
Why does the emperor hate her so much?
In order to make her break up with Zhu Longyuan, he was willing to give the precious princess to Zhu Longyuan, a man with a wife and children!
Doesn’t he mind that he is wasting the princess’s life?
She kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, please give me another chance. Please don't separate me and my husband. Please have mercy!"
After begging Feng Changye, she looked at Madam Zhu and Zhu Xuanyuan in panic.
If the Zhu family can marry the princess now, will they still want her?
"Mom, brother and sister-in-law, please help me!"
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Madam Zhu.
“Please!”
Old Lady Zhu felt a little sorry when she saw her second daughter-in-law who was so scared that she kept kowtowing.
After all, he was the one who served tea and water to her for two years.
Even kittens and puppies have feelings, let alone a living person?
The old lady thought that the emperor's threat just now should be enough to teach her a lesson. If she knew her mistake and behaved herself in the future, she should be able to live a good life with Long Yuan.
That’s it, there’s no need for Long Yuan to change his wife.
Who knows what kind of character the princess who was chosen for marriage is?
What if he is arrogant and domineering, and even cannot compare to Song Anqiao now? Wouldn’t that be hard for Long Yuan?
When Madam Zhu thought about this, she began to plead for Song Anqiao again.
"Your Majesty's grace, I, your humble servant, thank you on behalf of my son, Long Yuan. But..."
She looked up at Feng Changye.
"After all, Song Anqiao and Long Yuan have a child who is only a year and a half old. It is always best for the child to be taken care of by his or her own mother. If she is really divorced, how pitiful and innocent will the child be?
After a pause, she added.
"Besides, Long Yuan is already married with a legitimate child. Wouldn't it be unfair to the princess to ask her, a precious royal princess, to be his second wife and help raise his child?"
When Feng Changye heard what Madam Zhu said, the expression on his face softened slightly.
What moved him were the words "the child is pitiful and innocent."
He thought of himself.
His biological mother left the Queen Mother's body and replaced him with a stepmother to raise him. He himself knew best what kind of hard life he had lived since childhood.
Although he hated Song Anqiao now, in order to punish this woman, he was going to make a half-year-old child lose his biological mother, be abused by his stepmother, and live the same difficult life he had as a child...
How could he bear it?
Zhu Wuhuan had been waiting by the side for the tyrant to abuse Song Anqiao. Now, seeing that the tyrant's expression changed and it seemed that he didn't intend to abuse Song Anqiao anymore, she raised her eyebrows.
If you don't want to torture her anymore, then back off! Let her do it!
Did she bring her imperial physician here for nothing?
She came here today to expose Song Anqiao's fake pregnancy, and she couldn't make this trip in vain.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you can't let Song Anqiao be separated from my second brother like this—"
Zhu Wuhuan walked forward with a smile.
She stood beside Feng Changye and looked at Song Anqiao in the courtyard.
In Song Anqiao's grateful eyes, she curled her lips and spoke each word clearly.
"After all, Song Anqiao left the Zhu family pregnant. If you separate her from my second brother, what will happen to the child in her belly?"
"..." Song Anqiao's grateful expression suddenly changed!
She thought that the Queen was speaking for her because of their past friendship!
The result was to completely plunge her into the abyss!
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her belly. An uneasy feeling grew from there, spreading little by little to her entire heart, tightly wrapping around her...
It made her breathless with fear.
"Doctor Zhang—"
Zhu Wuhuan took in Song Anqiao's expression and shouted.
"I am here."
Doctor Zhang, who had been pretending to be a quail in the corner, came out trembling.
Zhu Wuhuan raised his chin slightly and said, "Go, take Miss Song's pulse and see how long she has been pregnant."
Doctor Zhang bowed and accepted the order, then walked out of the hall and headed towards Song Anqiao in the courtyard.
When Song Anqiao saw that the queen really wanted the imperial physician to take her pulse, she became anxious!
She herself knows best whether she is pregnant or not. Once the imperial physician makes the diagnosis, her lie will be exposed!
Her eyes rolled around in panic as she tried desperately to think of a solution.
When the imperial physician came to her, she finally came up with a good idea -
"Your Majesty, allow me to report!"
She shouted loudly, then kowtowed to apologize!
"Empress!"
"When I left the Zhu family that day, because my period was five or six days late, I really thought I was pregnant!"
"But after returning to the Song family, I happily asked a doctor to take my pulse. However, the doctor told me that my pregnancy was delayed because of my poor health, not because I was pregnant!"
"So, Your Majesty, there is no need to trouble the imperial physician to check my pulse. I am not pregnant now—"
After saying this, she rested her forehead against the bluestone floor tiles, not daring to look up.
She thought, she had already taken the initiative to say that she had made a mistake a few days ago. Now that she had taken the initiative to confess that she was not pregnant, the Queen should not be able to accuse her of lying anymore, right?
Whether a woman is pregnant or not, it is normal for her to make mistakes since she is not a doctor. How can this be considered a sin?
She should be able to get away with it now, right?
However, Zhu Wuhuan deliberately wanted to slap her in the face, so how could he let her go so easily?
"Oh? Really?" Zhu Wuhuan's face was solemn.
"When the Zhu family was in trouble, you happened to be pregnant, and you used this incident to leave the Zhu family with peace of mind. And when the Zhu family was safe and sound, you came back, and it happened that you were diagnosed with not being pregnant—"
She sneered.
"Song Anqiao, do you think everyone here is a fool, huh?"
Without waiting for Song Anqiao to speak, she turned and looked at Feng Changye.
She bowed.
"Your Majesty, I ask you to send a few people to the Song family to check whether Song Anqiao has asked a doctor to treat her in the past few days!"
After a pause, she continued.
"I would like you to send a few people to gather the maids of the Zhu family who serve Song Anqiao and ask them whether Song Anqiao's period is really as she said, that it should have come a few days ago, but has now been delayed for several days——"
After saying that, she turned her eyes to look at Song Anqiao again.
"These are all just Song Anqiao's own lies. I don't believe it. It's really such a coincidence!"
