Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant. However, no one believed her.  When she vomited after eating, they laughed at her for feigning illness. When she felt tired, they laughed at her for pretending to be delicate.

The fifth prince, Prince Yu, was a dashing and handsome young man. He exuded an air of sophistication and regal beauty.

At this point, the Prince of Wutong was in anguish. He hardly cared about the murderous glares he was receiving.

He sneered, "I've always done what I've promised and I dare to shoulder whatever I've done! No one can smear my name for things that I didn't do! I want to declare one thing: It wasn't me who gave the order to hurt her!"

"If not you, then who could it be?"

"My own daughter was also down there. Have I gone mad?" After saying this, the Prince of Wutong thought of his daughter's last look before her death, overcome with grief. He could hardly breathe and instinctively clutched his chest.
