Chapter 151 - The Child Was Guang Pingwangs

After saying that, he smiled and said, “Who does Zhaoyang like? Brother will arrange a marriage for you.”

Zhaoyang’s expression was stunned as if she was carefully considering Nalan Chen’s suggestion.

Gradually, her eyes lit up.

Nalan Chen knew that she had taken the bait and left with a satisfied smile.

The next day, everyone in the capital found out that Princess Zhaoyang was pregnant out of wedlock. While guessing who the man was, they sneered at the Princess of the kingdom for being so shameless.

In the afternoon, a piece of news came from the palace.

Princess Zhaoyang’s child was Guang Pingwang’s.

Zhaoyang said tearfully in front of all the officials in the court. When Guang Pingwang had forced her to drink, she had been holding back for fear of damaging the relationship between the royal family and Guang Pingwang.

However, she could not hide it anymore.

Guang Pingwang did not appear in the court, so no one refuted her. This matter was taken as the final conclusion and spread.

Everyone’s attitude towards Zhaoyang also changed, from a sneer to a loyal woman.

Many people began to criticize Guang Pingwang, clamoring for him to take responsibility.

When Su Yan heard this, she was also shocked by Zhaoyang’s thick skin.

Although she knew what was going on, they were well-grounded. They even brought out the evidence that Guang Pingwang had stayed in the imperial palace.

The timing was just right.

For a moment, they were unable to defend themselves.

Zhaoyang swaggered into Guang Residence and looked at Su Yan. “Little sister paid her respects to the Princess Consort.”

It was not even the beginning of their relationship, but she had already called her sister. How much did she want to enter Guang Residence?

Su Yan sneered and said, “Do you really think that no one knows what’s going on with the seed in your stomach?”

Zhaoyang did not panic at all, she used a handkerchief to touch the corners of her eyes and said, “I know that sister doesn’t want me to take away the Royal Highness’s love, and I don’t want to disturb your love, but… The Royal Highness took my body, so there’s nothing I can do. I’m already the Royal Highness’ woman.”

She bowed again and said, “Zhaoyang bowed to sister.”

This was forcing her to accept her bow.

Su Yan quietly watched her performance and slowly sipped her tea, ignoring her.

Zhaoyang gritted her teeth in hatred. With a thought, she fell straight to the side, wanting to use the fainting to blame Guang Residence.

The maidservants who had received instructions earlier quickly caught her, crying and begging Su Yan to find a doctor.

Su Yan said, “The princess’ body is delicate. It’s better to go back to the imperial palace to find the imperial physician. I’m afraid the doctors in Guang Residence are not competent.”

After saying that, she ordered the butler to invite them out.

The servant girls could not resist the butler’s actions at all. Zhaoyang pretended to faint but could not make a sound. They could only let them be driven out.

Zhaoyang secretly gave the servant girl a hand gesture.

The many years of tacit understanding made the servant girl instantly understand what she meant. She did not leave immediately. Instead, she cried and shouted at the entrance of Guang Residence. Zhaoyang fainted in public and was sent out of Guang Residence. She had already attracted the attention of many people.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After the servant girl’s publicity, everyone was dissatisfied with Su Yan who had forced a pregnant woman to faint and even chased her out.

Just like that, Zhaoyang did not wait for Su Yan to send them in. She could only return to the imperial palace gloomily.

However, the public opinion was already biased towards Zhaoyang’s side.

Guang Pingwang only found out about this after he had returned from the military camp. Su Yan also told him about how Zhaoyang had framed her.

Gu Ruoyun said that she would leave this matter to him so that Su Yan would not be troubled.

The next morning at the imperial court.

Nalan Chen put on a gentle smile and asked, “Guang Pingwang, when are you going to marry Princess Zhaoyang?”

Gu Ruoyun replied coldly, “I’m not going to marry her.”

He did not even want to mention Zhaoyang’s name.

Nalan Chen’s expression darkened as he replied, “Guang Pingwang had risked his life for the imperial court to obtain the title of God of war. Are you going to deny your debt and ruin your good reputation?”

The officials all felt that the Emperor’s courage in challenging Gu Ruoyun was commendable. However, they were in agreement with the Emperor on this matter.
