Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

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.

Concubine Jin glanced at him: "I'm about to die, what's there to talk about later?"

The Emperor was greatly pained: "Concubine Jin, don't talk nonsense, you're fine!"

Concubine Jin's face was pale, and she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, people always speak the truth before death. After all these years, just indulge me this once and let me speak privately with my son."

The Emperor was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.

He stood up, glared fiercely at the people around him, including the Empress, Princess Consort Jiang Ning, and the other palace attendants, and then quickly walked away.

The Empress waved her hand to everyone else, motioning for them to leave.

Jiang Ning immediately followed suit.
