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. She dared not let Prince Yu be a scapegoat, so she tried every possible way to tell everyone she was pregnant.

"That's exactly right!"

"Don't you think, that's a little unreasonable?"

"What's unreasonable about it? If you don't want others to know, don't do it. Mu Jian poisoned the concubine, committing such outrageous acts, it was bound to be exposed sooner or later. He set this up in advance, so if someone found out, he could frame someone else. If no one found out, he could safely escape."

Li Hongyuan laughed: "These are all your evasive words. Do you have any evidence to prove that this note is fake? Could your father's handwriting also be fake?"

"Handwriting can be imitated!"

"The imitated will always be fake."

"Then let's get someone to verify it!"
