"Kill the demon fetus! Heaven has sent down lightning to destroy the Yu clan; this is punishment."
"Kill the witch! Burn her at the stake!"
“King Yu, if you don’t do it yourself, we’ll send someone up to cut open the abdomen and remove the fetus.”
Upon hearing the words "cesarean section to remove the fetus," Yu Dongqing's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.
He carried a sword, walked along the wall, climbed up the palace wall, stood at the highest point, and looked down at the people outside.
"Please listen to what I have to say. My queen is not carrying a demon child. The three-year drought and today's strange phenomena have nothing to do with my child."
"The suffering of the nation and its people is my fault as emperor. I am incapable of solving the difficulties and enabling the people to live a happy and peaceful life."
"Today, I am willing to atone with my death. I beg you all to spare my child. I implore Heaven to forgive the Jade Kingdom and send down spring rain to save this country and its people!"
He resolutely raised the sword and placed it against his neck, his expression solemn and determined.
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone was surprised and curious that he was willing to commit suicide to protect this child who might be a demon, exchanging one life for another.
"Husband—no—" Empress Nian cried, enduring the pain in her lower abdomen, and slowly walked over, holding her belly with both hands.

"Although Mother's pregnancy lasted three years, which is somewhat strange and bizarre, our little sister was conceived because the gods appeared to Father and Mother in a dream. We believe she is an auspicious star and definitely not a witch."
"Our mother is showing signs of giving birth. If a monster is born, we will kill the demoness with our own hands and atone for our sins with the lives of all nine members of our family."
His Highness the Crown Prince looked intently at the people below the wall, and together with his six younger brothers, made a promise, his forehead slamming heavily against the blue bricks.
They banged their heads three times, drawing blood that trickled down their brows.
elder brother……
Yao Guang, still in Empress Nian's womb, trembled with excitement and emotion upon hearing the words of her seven prince brothers, and opened her small mouth to utter a silent sound.
You can't bully them, I won't allow it.
When outsiders heard Yu Dongqing and the seven princes' words, they were stunned for a moment, and apart from some surprise and emotion, they were still angry.
After making these harsh remarks, the four kings immediately ordered their soldiers to climb the palace walls with ladders, while also ordering hundreds of archers to prepare to throw arrows at the Yu clan's palace.
