As Zhang Guiren finished speaking, she couldn't help but look up at Mo Yuhan again, wanting to see his reaction.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they looked up, they were met with Mo Yuhan's icy expression. His eyes were filled with a fierce and menacing aura as he pressed towards them.
Consort De and Consort Zhang were unable to withstand it and took several steps back.
If it weren't for the maids supporting them, they might have fallen backward.
"Do you have any evidence for this? Words are not enough. If you keep saying this, do you believe I will punish you?"
Hearing that evidence was required, Consort Zhang was startled. She had only echoed Consort De's words and had no evidence at all.
If the Emperor were to blame her later, and she had no evidence, wouldn't she be at his mercy?
Thinking of this, Consort Zhang suddenly felt that this would not do, and was about to leave when Consort De stopped her.
Now that things have come to this point, there's no way to escape.
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can have the imperial physician come and examine Consort Jing. He will know the truth of the matter at a glance."
Jiang Jingyue watched from the side the whole time, as if they weren't talking about her, and didn't say a word the entire time.
It's not that she doesn't want to talk about it; in her old place, when she was bored, there were movies to watch, but now here, there's absolutely no entertainment.
So Jiang Jingyue watched this scene unfold as if it were a pornographic film.
She was engrossed in watching it, and although they were discussing her, she still thought it was quite enjoyable.
Consort Zhang's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Consort De's words.
If a woman is several months pregnant, the imperial physician will definitely be able to tell by looking at her.
Mo Yuhan walked up to Jiang Jingyue, patted her head, and looked at her with eyes full of trust.
"Why summon the imperial physician? I can guarantee that the child in Consort Jing's belly is definitely mine."
Even though Mo Yuhan had spoken up, Consort De still wouldn't let it go.
She now hopes that the imperial physician can help Jiang Jingyue determine how many months pregnant she is and whether the child is actually the emperor's.
Even the Empress Dowager, who was standing nearby, glanced at Jiang Jingyue's belly and suddenly spoke up.
"Your Majesty, why don't we have the imperial physician take a look? I feel that Consort Jing's belly seems a bit big now. I trust Consort Jing, but her belly really is quite large now, which is a bit strange. Why don't we have the imperial physician come and take a look at Consort Jing? That way, we can all feel more at ease, and it will also put Consort De's mind at ease."
Seeing that even the Empress Dowager had spoken in this way, Mo Yuhan hesitated. He looked at Jiang Jingyue and asked her for her opinion.
When he saw Jiang Jingyue nod, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Mo Yuhan was actually worried that Jiang Jingyue would think he didn't trust her.
Thinking of this, Mo Yuhan couldn't hold back any longer. He walked up to Jiang Jingyue, picked her up, and carried her into the carriage that had been prepared for him.
He had just put Jiang Jingyue down when he immediately called out.
"Return to the palace."
Mo Yuhan grasped Jiang Jingyue's hand, unsure of how to begin. After hesitating for a while, he finally looked at Jiang Jingyue and spoke.
"Yueyue, I don't doubt you, it's just that in that situation, I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to ask you to do it."
Jiang Jingyue shook her head, reached out and covered Mo Yuhan's mouth, and burst into laughter.
The smile in her eyes was almost overflowing; judging from her expression, it was clear that Jiang Jingyue wasn't unhappy at all.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I am not sad. In fact, I also feel that my belly seems to have grown a little. I was originally planning to have the imperial physician come and take a look when Your Majesty returned, but now it is just right."
Jiang Jingyue tilted her head and looked at Mo Yuhan with a grin.
Seeing her like this, Mo Yuhan couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms.
"Yueyue, I haven't been in the palace for a day. Have you missed me? Does the baby in your belly miss me?"
Jiang Jingyue rolled her eyes. Not to mention a day, even a month, she might not think about it. But while she might think that way in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud.
Jiang Jingyue immediately reached out and hugged Mo Yuhan back, pressing her face against his chest and rubbing against him vigorously.
"Your Majesty, I certainly miss you, and the children miss their father too. Your Majesty didn't spend time with the children and me yesterday, and I couldn't sleep at night."
Jiang Jingyue looked at Mo Yuhan with pleading eyes, and then suddenly asked him pitifully.
"Your Majesty, when you leave the palace in the future, could you please take me with you? I really can't sleep without you by my side."
Looking at Jiang Jingyue's dependent eyes, Mo Yuhan felt for the first time how important he was in someone else's heart, and couldn't help but nod.
"Yueyue, don't worry! I won't be going out for a while. If I really have to go out, I promise I'll take you with me. I won't leave you alone in the palace."
Jiang Jingyue: Your Majesty, I was just saying that, there's no need to take it seriously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are so kind."
When they returned to the palace, the imperial physician was already waiting, and Consort De and the others followed closely behind.
Their eyes lit up when they saw that the imperial physician had arrived.
"Your Majesty, now that the imperial physician has arrived, can we have him take Consort Jing's pulse to see what's going on and whether the child in Consort Jing's womb is Your Majesty's?"
After Consort De finished speaking, she immediately gave Consort Zhang a wink, signaling Consort Zhang to echo her words.
Consort Zhang was very good at reading people's expressions. When she saw Consort De giving her a meaningful look, she immediately spoke up as well.
"That's right! Once Consort Jing has the imperial physician examine her, the truth will be revealed. Everyone should remember when Consort Jing entered the palace, right? If we count from the first day she entered the palace to serve the emperor, Consort Jing's baby is at most two months along. If it's more than that, it's not normal."
Jiang Jingyue found their confident expressions somewhat amusing and slowly asked them a question.
"So Consort De and Noble Lady Zhang have concluded that the child in my womb is not the Emperor's? If it is, then what should Consort De do?"
