Afterwards, Jing Yuchen told Ni Yueshan the autopsy report, and Ni Yueshan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So where should Sister Yu be now? What's the point of replacing her?"
Jing Yuchen chimed in, "If the person left in the fire as a substitute was alive, they would have struggled and screamed before dying! But you didn't hear any screams. Even if it was Yu Fei herself, she was drunk and didn't react, but why was the body facing up? An unconscious person should be facing up!"
"A dead person who isn't struggling can't breathe. There shouldn't be dust in their throats, but that corpse does! That means they were alive! But they were burned alive while unconscious. Since they were lying on their back, it's very likely that they were knocked unconscious from behind and became a scapegoat for no reason."
Jing Yuchen finished his analysis, and Ni Yueshan gradually understood.
"Then how was this person brought into the house under such an emergency situation?" She rushed into the house from the stairs. At that time, there was no one in the inn. When she fell downstairs, the house was about to collapse. Who was it that, at the last moment, risked his life to bring a living person in and then took Yu Fei away?
What is the purpose of confusing them into thinking that the dead person is Yu Fei?
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were both confused and puzzled. Jing Yuchen said, "Well, no matter what she wants to do to us with Yu Fei, now we know that Yu Fei is alive. That is our greatest joy."
"The Tian family is heavily guarded, and there's no way to get close to Tian Qinan and interrogate her directly. However, she's still one of our suspects!"

That day, Ni Yueshan was summoned to the palace by the Queen. Seeing Ni Yueshan standing below, the Queen lazily supported her forehead with one hand. Her eyes swept over her and then asked curiously, "I heard that you had a stomachache, so you accidentally pushed Princess Chu into the water?"
Ni Yueshan stood below and responded honestly: "Yes."
"Why is your stomach hurting? You're so weak you need help. I heard a lot of midwives have gone to the Prince's Mansion. Are you pregnant again?"
"yes."
Ni Yueshan's indifferent response surprised the queen.
Wasn't the pregnancy pain just a fabrication by Ni Yueshan? And then there was the miscarriage drama. Who knew if she was actually pregnant?
"Are you serious, you're pregnant again?"
"yes!"
Ni Yueshan's voice was much louder than before when he answered.
The Queen narrowed her eyes slightly, then frowned and said, "Come, call the imperial physician!"
How could Ni Yueshan be pregnant? She didn't believe it!
Seeing that the queen was looking at her intently, as if she couldn't wait to expose her, Ni Yueshan remained calm and unhurried.
When the imperial physician arrived, the queen ordered him to take Ni Yueshan's pulse. Ni Yueshan cooperated obediently and sat down beside her. After a while, the imperial physician reported to the queen, "Congratulations, Queen, Crown Princess. This is a slippery pulse, a sign of pregnancy!"
Ni Yueshan lowered his eyes, his face calm, while the queen's expression changed again and again.
If Ni Yueshan was really pregnant, let alone Princess Chu simply falling into the water, even if she died in the water, she would not be punished!
Being pregnant adds incense to the royal family and is a great achievement!
The Queen's expression darkened, but soon, it transformed into a smile: "Yueshan, your belly is really impressive. You've been with Zou Yangyao for so long, but you haven't gotten pregnant. Yet, you've been with the Crown Prince, and within less than two years of marriage, you've gotten pregnant twice!"
Ni Yueshan stood up from his seat and responded calmly, "Didn't the Queen witness it with her own eyes at the hunting scene? I still have the toad's blood, how can I get pregnant?"
These words were clearly meant to provoke her. The Queen's face froze, her eyes fixed on Ni Yueshan. Nanny Bai, who was standing nearby, spoke up, "Queen, the Crown Princess is pregnant. This is a serious matter. Shall I report this to the Emperor?"
"Hmm." The Queen had a headache in her deep voice. Ni Yueshan had ruined the Princess Chu whom she had taken a fancy to.
I had already discussed it with her father...
Ni Yueshan was finally rewarded and left the palace.
Outside the palace, Jing Yuchen was busy investigating Yu Fei's whereabouts, so he didn't know that Ni Yueshan had entered the palace. When he returned home, he heard that Ni Yueshan had been taken away by people from the palace, and he knew that they were going to question him.
So I couldn't help but feel worried, and was still thinking about going to the palace to meet the queen and see what was going on with Ni Yueshan.
Unexpectedly, Ni Yueshan came back and brought back a lot of rewards...
Jing Yuchen came forward in surprise and asked, "How did you do that?"
Instead of punishment, reward?
Ni Yueshan simply said, "How could a pregnant woman with merit be punished? So I didn't do anything?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise: "Then how did you manage to trick her? You're not really pregnant!"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm not lying!"
Jing Yuchen: ???
Ni Yueshan looked at him helplessly: "I'm not lying! I'm pregnant!"
Then, she grabbed Jing Yuchen's hand and placed it on her abdomen.
Jing Yuchen couldn't help but shrink his hand, then looked at Ni Yueshan in disbelief: "You said you are pregnant again!"
His face was full of surprise and disbelief.
Ni Yueshan nodded: "Yes, congratulations on becoming a father again!"
Jing Yuchen laughed joyfully again and again: "I'm a father now, I really am a father again!"
He picked up Ni Yueshan and spun her around, as if he had just found out for the first time that she was pregnant.
Ni Yueshan was in his arms, giggling: "Alright, alright, look at you, you're as happy as a child!"
He put her down, and Ni Yueshan felt extremely dizzy.
Jing Yuchen happily looked Ni Yueshan up and down again and again: "When did you get pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you, you're so nervous again. You have to keep an eye on me every day? You're even afraid that I'll fall in when I go to the toilet?"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with helplessness and doting in his eyes, but Ni Yueshan still spoke so mercilessly!
Jing Yuchen said sadly: "You are annoying me!"
"If you think so, then think so!"
Ni Yueshan shrugged with an indifferent expression.
Jing Yuchen's face was full of hurt and grievance, and then he said solemnly: "You are pregnant. Asking you to investigate the case and take risks would be irresponsible to you and the child. Why don't you just stay at home and let me investigate?"
This time, Jing Yuchen looked at her extremely seriously. It was a plea, not a request or an order!
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. How could she bear to refuse?
But the truth is, I don’t want to miss another child.
She nodded: "Okay."
