Chapter 299: Ah Jiu Falls Silent, Someone is Outside the Wall

"She must have realized that my people are secretly investigating her, and therefore she approached you, seeking your cooperation,"

It was too late for them to leave the palace, so the couple was arranged to stay in a palace at the front court, far from the harem.

Murong Jiu also thought of this, otherwise Consort Qin wouldn't have directly found her and revealed her intentions.

"But I'm a bit confused. If she's carrying a girl, how will she manage to swap the Crown Prince with a baby boy? After all, we're in the palace, where rules are strictly enforced, not just anywhere else."

Jun Yuyan told her:

"There is a palace maid in the Cold Palace who is pregnant with a guard's child, and her pregnancy is at the same stage as Consort Qin's."

Murong Jiu's eyes widened with shock.

"How—how can they be so bold!"

This had been calculated from the very beginning!

"No one noticed the palace maid's pregnancy?"
