Chapter 3100
Cold sweat beaded on Leon's forehead as he faced Quincy's wrath—he almost cried in
distress. "Have mercy, Your Highness. I would not be brave enough to lie to you, Your
Highness. The Empress' pulse was beating fast, and she is pregnant, indeed..."
Whoa!
Pandemonium broke out among the hundreds of civil and military officials when they
heard the imperial physician. 1
"What's going on?"
"The Emperor is long gone, and now the Empress is pregnant..."
"shhh, keep your voice down!"
The Empress trembled in horror. Her beautiful face no longer showed an imposing and
majestic air. A surge of anxiety and uncertainty had taken over her lovely face.
After the death of the Emperor, the Empress had decided to keep herself pure and
observed chastity. How could she be pregnant without a man?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Empress did not know that she was pregnant with Darryl's child. Darryl had
stumbled into the Empress' room by accident when Yang Jian led an army to attack the
South Cloud World. She thought he was the Emperor in her dream, and they spent the
night together. 2
Then, a month ago, by coincidence, Darryl had another night with the Empress. That was how she had gotten
pregnant with his child. 1
There was complete silence in the hall!
For a while, the hall was surprisingly quiet.
Someone laughed.
Then, a burly figure slowly walked forward amid the hundreds of civil and military officials. He looked at the
Empress with a strange smile. "Your Majesty, would you care to explain yourself?"
The man was in his thirties, and he was dressed in purple and gold armor with a four-clawed golden python
embroidered on it. He was King Jannan, Jethro Lyon.
Jethro was the deceased Emperor's younger brother, and he enjoyed a prominent social status, when the Emperor
was still alive, he appointed King Jannan to guard the South cloud World's border. Jethro's status was comparable to
Quincy.
When the Emperor died, Jethro had a chance to succeed the throne, but he had his duty at the border at that time,
so the Empress had a solid head start.
Therefore, Jethro had always been dissatisfied with the Empress and wanted to seize the throne. He knew that his
opportunity had come when the Empress got pregnant mysteriously.
"Jethro!"
The Empress snapped back to her senses and glowered at Jethro, "what do you mean?"
"What did I mean?"
Jethro stepped forward; he appeared awe-inspiring due to his righteousness. "The Emperor has passed away for
many years, but you have gotten pregnant. That is a great embarrassment to the royal family.
How can we have a shameless woman like you as the Empress?"
"I don't need to say anything more about the situation. You know it best."
The officials stared at the Empress with a conflicted expression on their faces. It was quite different from the
worshipful looks that they would usually have for her.
Jethro was right. The Empress was the South Cloud World's ruler; she was the vision of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe entire South Cloud World. However, she was pregnant with an illegitimate child. If
the news were to spread, the South Cloud World Royal would become a laughing stock
in the Nine Mainland.
There was much mumbling and discussion among the civil and military officials.
"I did not expect that Her Majesty, whom I have always admired, turned out to be such
a wayward woman."
"Well, she is also a woman. Besides, the Emperor has been gone for so many years..."
"Well, that's true. I can understand that she might have urges, but now that she's
pregnant... well..."
The Empress was ashamed and upset by the comments, but she did not know what to
say to those officials.
Quincy, who stood by the side, was gloomy and sulky.
Jethro laughed.
He was happy to see the Empress in misery. He stared at the Empress coldly and said,
"Tell US who is the unruly man that had spent the night with you?"
"You—"
The Empress trembled in anger as she pointed at Jethro. "Jethro, how dare you!"
