The empress was very happy to hear from the attendants,

"Everyone, the emperor has just sent word that he will bring a hundred officials to see us beg for mercy. Everyone, you have to be more careful.

"Many thanks, esteemed empress.

"

Mu Yunyao seemed to be slightly unsettled, and didn't say anything in agreement.

The empress brought everyone to their feet and prepared to beg.

This time, the place was located by the Imperial Garden Lake. The place was spacious and had all kinds of palace lamps. Under the illumination of the lights, the scenery was especially tranquil and pleasant.

Mu Yunyao followed the crowd to the lakeside. The night wind brought with it a slight chill that made her feel much more comfortable.

After the empress brought everyone to pay their respects, some of the palace maids prepared seven needles and red thread and distributed them to everyone.

"Fourth Sister-in-Law, come stand by my side. You have always been very clever and clever. With you by my side, I might be able to share some good fortune with you.

"

"Esteemed Empress must be joking. You're the one with the deepest fortune out of all the women in the imperial court. If you want to touch it, it's because I'm taking advantage of your good fortune.

"

The Queen smiled and didn't reply. Seeing Mu Yunyao standing by her side, she turned her head and ordered,

"Let's begin.

"

Mu Yunyao was about to take the needle to thread the red thread when she suddenly heard the sound of water on the lake's surface. She couldn't help but look down and when she saw it, she couldn't help but cry out in alarm. Her heart fiercely jumped, as if it was about to jump out of her mouth.

At this time, other people who noticed the strangeness of the lake exclaimed out loud,

"Ah, the lake, the lake … … There's a ghost!

"

Under the illumination of the light, a white human face slowly floated up to the surface of the calm lake. Its face was green and its eyes were red. Its black hair was loose and it spat out blood from its mouth, giving it a ghastly appearance.

The ladies by the lake were thrown into chaos.

Mu Yunyao's hair stood on end as she subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to retreat with the Queen, she felt someone heavily pull back behind her. Immediately afterwards, her feet slipped and she pounced in the direction of the lake.

King Yue, who was originally following beside the Emperor, rushed over without a care when he heard the clamor. At this moment, he saw Mu Yunyao being pushed into the lake and immediately leaped, quickly flying towards the lake.

When Mu Yunyao was being pushed, she subconsciously protected her abdomen. Luckily, someone purposely loosened the railing, so when she bumped into the top, she tilted her body. She didn't feel too much pain, but she wasn't prepared when she fell into the water.

Mu Yunyao had just caught her breath when she saw the floating face. She hurriedly wrapped her arms around Yue Yang's neck and buried her face in the side of his neck.

"Cough cough … Fourth master, children …

"

Min Fang Hua was startled by the change in front of her eyes and recovered her wits. She immediately stopped the panicking people and said,

"Quiet down! Someone, whoever moves again will be directly detained and dragged out!

"

"Yes sir!

"

The guards quickly moved forward. The ladies and guards gathered together and covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound. The Emperor had already brought his men over. Seeing Mu Yunyao fall into the water, his brows moved without leaving a trace as he raised his head to look at the Queen Min Hua. According to the plan, someone should have accidentally poured some tea onto Mu Yunyao after the begging ceremony and exposed Mu Yunyao's filial life after seeing her burn …

In the event of a pregnancy, the empress would then follow the rules and act as if she wanted to beat the child in Mu Yunyao's stomach to force Yue Yang and the imperial family to break off their relationship. But how did he fall into the water so easily? Min Fanghua shook her head slightly. She was being watched secretly by the other three spies, and before they could make a move, something happened. It seemed that there were other people behind them that were out of control. However, things had already turned out like this. He could only play the part or else everything would have been wasted …

Mu Yunyao's heart was in a mess. Her face was pale and her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Fourth Master, child …

"

Yue Yang carried her in his arms, his aura turning cold:

"I'll bring you out of the palace.

"

Tu Ma suddenly spoke up.

"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Yue has been frightened from falling into the water. Why don't we ask the imperial physician to examine her pulse and change her clean clothes? Why are you in such a hurry to leave the palace?

" It was already known that they, the northern border, and King Yue did not want to deal with them. It would only be suspicious if they did not add fuel to the fire now.

"What does it have to do with you?

" King Yue's voice was cold.

"There was a rumour previously that Princess Titan was pregnant and that this child was pregnant during the filial period. But now that you're blocking my way, could it be that the rumours are true?

"

"Nonsense!

" Yue Yang's expression was cold, even though his body was stained with water, it did not harm his dignity.

Mu Yunyao didn't have the mood to waste time with him. Seeing that the Duke didn't understand what she meant, she pulled his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen,

"Fourth Master, quickly help me change my clothes. My stomach isn't feeling well, so the child should be fine.

"

Hearing her words, one of the envoys's eyes lit up and he exclaimed:

"Your majesty, you heard it. Even the imperial concubine admitted it herself. She's pregnant! She has a child in her womb!

"

Yue Yang was startled, seeing the anxiousness on Mu Yunyao's face and also sensing her movements, he only felt as if a bolt of lightning had abruptly split open in his mind, chopping his soul away,

"Child …

"Child?

"

Mu Yunyao nodded. When a gust of wind blew over, she instantly felt even colder and couldn't help but shrink back into his embrace.

Yue Yang pursed his lips tightly, his face flushed red. Carrying Mu Yunyao, he walked towards Zhao Yang Hall.

"Prepare clothes, clean clothes!

"

Min Fanghua was stunned. She didn't have time to be surprised and quickly gestured the palace maid to come forward to help.

The envoy from the northern border however, was stopped by King Yue.

"King Yue, you did not follow your filial duty during your national mourning, causing Princess Yue to become pregnant. This is a great disrespect to the late emperor …

"

The envoy had not even finished speaking, but Titan had already arrived in front of him, kicking fiercely at his chest.

With this, the envoy was sent flying backwards with a loud bang before he could react. He then smashed heavily on the ground,

"If anything were to happen to this king's child, this king shall lead the troops to flatten the Northern Frontier Royal City!

"

Tu Ma quickly looked at the others. At this time, they definitely could not let King Fu Li pass by them easily.

"Your Majesty, have you seen King Yue's attitude? He really is unruly, and doesn't care about you at all!

" Tu Ma's face was cold and hard, and his tone was sonorous:

"Your majesty, you have seen how King Yue treats our Northern Frontier. You said before, as long as our Northern Frontier was sincere, the two countries could coexist peacefully, but now that he has spoken out to provoke us, it is clear that he does not want to part ways with us. If that's the case, then our Northern Frontier is not afraid of the consequences.
