Chapter 7 — Pregnant Exterior Forced to Confess, Queen Mother Only Says Two Words: Husband

My words, like lightning strikes, fell on Lieu Van Nhi's head. Her face turned pale.

“You… you talk nonsense!”

Her voice trembled, her eyes panicked.

“General… general he… he once returned halfway…”

"Oh? Come back?"

"Military regulations stipulate that during wartime the commander is not allowed to leave his position arbitrarily."

“If he really has returned, then it is a violation of military law.”

"Tell me, what day did he return? This palace immediately sent someone to investigate the army."

Lieu Van Nhi was completely panicked, sweat as big as beans rolling down her forehead. She hesitated for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence. Looking at her appearance, I already had the answer in my heart. This child is not Tham Thanh Ha's at all! What a Tham Thanh Ha, what a Lieu Van Nhi. A person who, because of so-called love, does not hesitate to turn against me. A man who, in order to climb high and cling to nobility, dared to commit such blasphemous acts. Truly a match made in heaven. My voice is cold as ice.

“Who does this child belong to?”

Lieu Van Nhi's body trembled like a leaf. Of course it is. In my heart, I laughed coldly. Tham Thanh Ha, the stupid person who was turned around like a pinwheel by her, didn't even know that until he died, he buried his entire family because of a cruel person. This is the biggest irony for him. At this moment, a maid rushed in, looking panicked.

"Princess! It's not okay!"

"The royal physician Ton came from the palace and said he wanted to check Concubine Lieu's pulse!"

“You have arrived outside the hospital door!”

Doctor Sun. He is the doctor that the mother trusts the most. He has excellent medical skills and is upright and uncompromising as a person. His mother sent him here, the purpose of which is clear without needing to be said. It was because he wanted to find out this child's background and add a charge of "blasphemy" to the Tham family's treason case. As soon as Lieu Van Nhi heard Doctor Ton coming, she was even more scared to the point that her face lost all blood. She rolled down directly from the bed and knelt at my feet.

"Princess! Save me! Princess!"

She hugged my leg and begged miserably.

"I will listen to everything you say! Please don't let the doctor come! This child cannot be found out!"

Once it is discovered that the child does not belong to Tham Thanh Ha, she will be guilty of lese majeste. According to national law, he will be executed by the mausoleum. I lowered my head to look at her, my eyes cold.

“Now I know I'm afraid?”

"Before, you were holding your stomach and kneeling outside the palace, planning for this palace, planning for the royal family, why didn't you think about today?"

I don't have half the mercy. I ordered the maid outside the door. Very soon, Doctor Ton, who was over half a hundred years old, carried the medicine box and followed the maid in.

“I pay my respects to your Highness the Princess.”

He bowed to me, his eyes calm.

“Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite.”

I pointed towards Lieu Van Nhi who was limp on the ground.

"Concubine Liu has recently had an unstable pregnancy. I would like to ask the doctor, Ton, to diagnose and treat her carefully."

“Obey orders.”

Doctor Sun replied, walked in front of Lieu Van Nhi, and signaled her to raise her hand. Her whole body trembled, not daring to give, but also not daring not to give. Under my coercive gaze, she finally trembled and held out her wrist. Doctor Sun placed three fingers on her pulse. He closed his eyes, condensed his mind, and meticulously felt the changes in the statue's pulse. In the room, there was a moment of terrifying silence. There was only the sound of heavy breathing of Lieu Van Nhi, with the sound of teeth clicking together. In my heart, a slight tension also arose. Even though we have confirmed that the child is not Tham Thanh Ha's, we still need Doctor Ton to come up with the most accurate conclusion. Time, every moment passes. Doctor Ton's eyebrows gradually furrowed. He opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He switched to his other hand and continued to feel his pulse. This time, the pulse diagnosis time was even longer. When he retracted his hand, the expression on his face became extremely serious.

“Doctor Sun,” I asked, “how is the situation?”

Doctor Sun stood up, bowed to me, and said in a deep voice:

“Introduction, Your Highness the Princess.”

"Judging by the pulse, Concubine Lieu's vitality is extremely unstable."

“But that's not the point.”

He stopped, his voice becoming more serious.

“The point is, the number of months of the fetus in Concubine Lieu's womb… seems to be incorrect.”

As soon as these words fell, Lieu Van Nhi's body immediately stiffened. My heart moved slightly and I asked: "What's wrong?" Doctor Sun glanced at her and slowly said:

“Concubine Liu claims to be more than six months pregnant.”

"But judging by the pulse and the size of the fetus, this fetus... is clearly nearly eight months old!"

This number, like a thunderbolt exploding in the room. All eyes simultaneously turned to Lieu Van Nhi. Eight months ago, Tham Thanh Ha was still at the border! At that time, he absolutely could not get her pregnant! Evidence is like a mountain! Lieu Van Nhi's face instantly lost all color and turned white as paper.

“No… that's not…”
