The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

Chapter 218 Imperial Heir

Shen Tang, “……!!!”

Are you pregnant?!

The imperial physician, who was almost used to announcing good news, was trying hard to suppress his emotions. Shen Tang felt his eyes go dark.

In her previous life, Shen Tang had been pregnant and knew what morning sickness felt like, but she had only felt nauseous for the first few days, and it had not suddenly become so severe. So she only thought that Shen Ying had deliberately ruined the Marquis's family reunion banquet and caused trouble for the Marquis's mansion, but she didn't expect that she was actually pregnant.

But Shen Xian hasn’t been married for long…

Shen Tang asked, "How long has it been?"

The imperial physician said, "It's still a short time since the pregnancy began, so the diagnosis isn't very accurate. It's likely that she got pregnant during the Queen's birthday banquet."

Shen Xi's happy face quickly turned pale after hearing the imperial physician's words.

Shen Tang's heart also sank to the bottom.

This baby is most likely the son of Marquis Changping.

The green hat of the King of Qi is embedded in his head and cannot be taken off.

However, no one doubted Shen Xian's pale face and the panic in her eyes. After all, it was normal for her to be in a bad mood after vomiting like this.

The Fourth Madam looked at Shen Tang and asked, "Should we send someone to escort Princess Qi back, or should we send someone to report to the King of Qi first?"

The only one who came to the Marquis' Mansion to offer congratulations today was Shen Xi; the King of Qi did not come.

Before Shen Tang could say anything, the imperial physician said, "It's better to report to the King of Qi. The Princess of Qi is having a miscarriage..."

The maid asked, "How could the fetus be disturbed?"

The imperial physician said, "Ying, he must have been angry..."

Shen Xian clutched her belly and glared at Shen Tang, "If anything happens to the baby in my belly, you'll be held responsible."

Shen Tang laughed when he heard this. "Your miscarriage is caused by your father having a mistress and an illegitimate child, and your mother being angry. What does it have to do with me? Did anyone see me getting angry at you?"

"you!"

Shen Xian was so angry that she wanted to vomit again.

Shen Tang just said a few words to Shen Xi in the garden, but no one heard them having a conflict, and there was no conflict at the banquet just now. Shen Tang didn't speak to Shen Xi at all. She was just rude at most, and the blame of making Princess Qi have a miscarriage could not be put on her head.

The fourth wife said, "Help Princess Qi go to the side room to rest first, and wait for the King of Qi to come and pick her up."

At the banquet, the old lady was happy and talked and laughed with everyone.

The maid came in and said, "Madam, Princess Qi is pregnant..."

This is good news for everyone.

But the old lady's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. The maid continued, "The imperial physician said that she was conceived on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet. She has been vomiting non-stop and has some miscarriage. The Fourth Madam has already sent someone to the Prince of Qi's mansion to inform the Prince of Qi."

The maid's voice was so loud that everyone at the tables in the room heard it.

If this were normal, we would definitely congratulate the old lady, but now it's not right to congratulate, but it's also not right not to congratulate. Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The old lady felt very dizzy. She did not forget what Shen Tang told her about what Shen Xi had done.

The Prince of Changping took advantage of Shen Xian and was unwilling to take responsibility. He wanted to push Shen Xian to the Prince of Jingyang, but something went wrong and he was thrown to the Prince of Qi by the eldest prince.

It would be fine if Shen Xi was pregnant after marriage, but if it was at the Queen's birthday banquet, it could be the child of the Marquis of Changping's son.

Confusing the royal bloodline is a crime punishable by death for nine generations of the clan!

The old lady only felt the taste of blood in her throat.

She was still holding on, not daring to reveal a single word. Mother Wang stepped forward and called the old lady, who came to her senses and continued to invite everyone to the table.

The news that Shen Xi was pregnant spread throughout the banquet. When it reached the ears of the Prince of Changping, his hand trembled as he picked up the food.

Conceived on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet...

Then there is a 90% chance that it is his.

That day, Shen Xi did not go to the Jokhang Temple, but went to the small courtyard where she had been before. When she was changing clothes, he couldn't help but have sex with her, and then he went into the palace to congratulate the queen on her birthday.

But after that incident, he seemed to be ill and could no longer touch women, and no medicine worked.

I have recently seen more than a dozen doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but none of them worked.

Fortunately, although he hadn't married, he had slept with many women. The Wang family's eldest young lady was pregnant with his child, so there would be no extinction of the family line. The child in Shen Xian's belly was also his...

It will be safer.

I have two babies. I don’t believe I would be so unlucky to have both babies be girls.

However, both the aunt and the King of Qi were dissatisfied with Shen Ying. They felt that she could not provide any help to the King of Qi in his fight for the throne, and they would most likely not let her give birth to the baby in her womb.

The Prince of Changping was sitting there, his mind racing. He didn't even hear the people toasting him.

Everyone at the table looked at each other, not daring to make a sound to disturb the Prince of Changping.

Recently, the Prince of Changping seems to have taken the wrong medicine and has a bad temper. He hasn't been to the brothel to look for willows or flirted with other girls for many days. He has been behaving like a different person. How can he still have this lustful habit? Isn't it said that you can't change it even if you are buried in the ground?

They were all privately wondering if the Prince of Changping was threatened by the masked man, who threatened to kill him if he teased the girl again, and he was frightened.

Well, as a follower of the Prince of Changping, he naturally knew that the person who was hung on the city wall that day was not the one who really injured the Prince of Changping. That person kicked the Prince of Changping down the hillside and broke one of his ribs, and is still at large.

No one knew who it was, but they had caused such trouble that the Marquis of Changping's Mansion almost turned the capital upside down, but they still couldn't catch the person.

Everyone discussed the fact that the Princess of Qi was pregnant, and then calmed down and the banquet continued as usual.

Halfway through the banquet, the King of Qi, who received the news, came to the Marquis's Mansion in person to pick up Shen Xi.

But there was no joy on his face.

The King of Qi has no shortage of women who can give birth to his children. He doesn't even want Shen Xi, so it would be strange if he valued the child in Shen Xi's belly, especially since the child was conceived on the day of the Queen's birthday banquet. In the eyes of the King of Qi, this is a shame.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, Shen Xi was after all his legal wife, married by the emperor, and she was pregnant. More importantly, all the civil and military officials were in the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion. The Princess of Qi was pregnant, but he, the King of Qi, did not come to pick her up in person. It was too cold-hearted of him.

Terrible.

Even if the King of Qi doesn't want to come, it won't work.

The King of Qi helped Shen Xing leave.

When leaving, Shen Xian glanced at the Prince of Changping.

Originally, there was a 90% certainty that the Prince of Changping was his, and this one glance made it 100%.

Looking at the back of King Qi leaving, the Prince of Changping didn't know what he was thinking about. A happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

……

The ancestral banquet lasted for an hour and a half before it ended.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

After the banquet, Shen Sui and the third and fourth masters saw the guests out of the house.

After everyone left, Shen Tang was exhausted.

Shen Tang wanted to go back to Qingyi Garden to rest, but was called away by the old lady.

Besides, there was no one else in the room. The old lady said in a trembling voice, "The child in Princess Qi's belly..."

Shen Tang knew that the old lady wanted to see her for this matter. She really didn't like the old lady to be in charge of these matters. Who could the old lady control? Shen Xi and the second wife were in the mansion, and they couldn't control them, let alone now.

Even if Shen Xi is pregnant with the child of the Marquis of Changping, what can the old lady do? Should she abort the baby in Shen Xi's belly?

Shen Tang dismissed the old lady with just one sentence——

"Grandmother, plotting to murder the heir to the throne is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan."
