After listening to the spy's report, the emperor's initial shock gradually turned into confusion.

How can it be?

Can you still get pregnant after taking the secret sterilizing medicine made in the palace?

This is absolutely impossible.

No matter how advanced the medical skills are, it is impossible to reverse the effects of the infertility drug.

unless…

Prince Jing and Princess Jing never took the sterilizing medicine.

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor shouted,

“It’s really abominable.

You've been lying to me from the beginning to the end?

King Jing, Princess Jing, are you planning to rebel?"

As he spoke, he swept all the memorials on the table to the floor.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Zhou Fu was so scared that he fell to his knees.

Every time the emperor got angry, he would severely punish a few people around him, and Zhou Fu was afraid of it.

He was afraid that one day the emperor would punish him in anger.

"you…"

The emperor stood up and pointed at the spy kneeling on the ground.

"You waited until Princess Jing was more than four months pregnant before you discovered it. You failed in your duties. Go and get thirty strokes of the cane."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

The spy bowed, thanked the emperor, and then stood up and left.

Seeing this, Zhou Fu reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally looked at Zhou Fu.

"Go and draft an imperial decree to summon Prince Jing and Princess Jing to return to the capital to see the emperor.

Go to the residences of Duke Fang and General Sun to pass on my order, asking Duke Fang and General Sun to bring their families to the palace to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Fu went to do it immediately.

The emperor no longer had the energy to investigate why Princess Jing was able to get pregnant after taking the contraceptive drug.

His top priority was to keep the Fang and Sun families under control.

Then, he used this as a threat to recall Prince Jing and Princess Jing back to the capital.

Afterwards, we will eradicate the person completely.

After seizing the military power from Prince Jing, the surrounding countries no longer coveted Daliang.

Beidi did not take any action either.

Moreover, the King of Beidi had recently deposed the crown prince.

On the Beidi side, they were also busy dealing with the chaos in their own court.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, there shouldn't be any problem in killing Prince Jing directly.

After controlling the Fang and Sun families, Qin Mu dared not to bring Fang Ling back to Beijing.

The emperor was thinking this, but he didn't know that Princess Jing was pregnant because she had deliberately revealed her flaws.

Otherwise, it would be a dream for the spies sent by the emperor to find out anything about Prince Jing's Mansion.

You know, every spy sent by the emperor to Yunzhou was controlled by Qin Mu's people as soon as he arrived.

Or, there were five or six spirit birds watching their every move at the same time.

All along, the news that the emperor could hear from the spies must be what Fang Ling and others were willing to let the emperor know.

Zhou Fu prepared the imperial edict. The emperor personally wrote the decree to summon Prince Jing and Princess Jing back to the capital. After stamping it with the imperial seal, he appointed an imperial envoy to take his men to Yunzhou at full speed to announce the decree.

Afterwards, Zhou Fu arranged for people to take the emperor's oral order to the residences of Duke Fang and General Sun to convey the emperor's orders.

But when the two groups went to the two mansions and knocked on the doors for a long time, no one came to open the door.

Finally, he asked the guards to go forward and break the door open.

But when the door was pushed open, both mansions were silent.

There was no one inside, not a single person in sight.

Everyone in the two mansions ran away, and the two groups of people who went to convey the oral order almost dropped their jaws in shock.

From the time the emperor issued the order to the time they came to deliver the oral order, it took less than half an hour at most.

How did so many people disappear out of thin air?

The two groups did not dare to delay and hurried back to the palace to report the situation to the emperor.

At this time, people from Duke Fang's Mansion and General Sun's Mansion had already left the capital through the tunnel several hours ago and met up with Qin Mu and Fang Ling in the suburbs.

"Sister Ling, I miss you so much."

Jin Yanran was the first to step forward as soon as she saw Fang Ling.

Fang Jinhang followed her closely, fearing that she would fall.

"Slow down."

Fang Ling immediately stepped forward and supported Jin Yanran.

"You're about to give birth, so don't make big movements when you walk."

Jin Yanran threw herself into Fang Ling's arms.

"Sister Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight."

Fang Ling smiled slightly, reached out and touched the back of Jin Yanran's head, and said softly:

"Because of my relationship with the prince, you are about to give birth and have to travel around."

Jin Yanran shook her head like a rattle.

"Don't be afraid, the baby in my belly is very strong. It's a good opportunity for me to go out and move around so that I can give birth when the time comes."

Fang Jinhang looked at Jin Yanran lovingly and continued:

"That's true. If I hadn't watched her every day, she would really be like a monkey, always wanting to jump up and down."

Jin Yanran pouted when she heard Fang Jinhang say this, and punched her husband in the chest.

"Who do you call a monkey?"

Fang Jinxing reached out and touched the spot on his chest where he was hit.

"Is it okay for me to say that I am a monkey?"

These words made everyone present laugh.

At this time, Li and Sun Qingcheng came forward with Old Madam Sun.

"Meet grandmother and aunt."

Fang Ling saluted first.

Madam Sun didn't care to be polite. She looked at Fang Ling's belly and asked:

"Ling'er, you are pregnant too?"

Fang Ling nodded,

"More than four months."

When everyone heard this, they noticed Fang Ling's lower belly. While they were happy for Fang Ling, they couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

Fang Shuming's eyes turned red with excitement when he heard that his daughter was pregnant.

However, he did not rush forward to ask, but stood aside and smiled with relief.

Old Madam Sun took Fang Ling's hand and said with tears in her eyes:

"You are already pregnant, and you still have to travel all the way. It's really hard for you."

Li also hurriedly said:

"Ling'er, sit down and have a rest, don't stand."

Fang Ling obediently followed Jin Yanran and sat down.

After Fang Ling and Jin Yanran sat down, everyone else followed suit.

Qin Mu originally wanted to sit next to Fang Ling, but was preempted by Old Madam Sun and Mrs. Li.

He had no choice but to sit with General Sun and the others.

Old Madam Sun showed great concern to Fang Ling.

General Sun finally couldn't help but turn the topic to the most important thing at the moment.

He looked at Qin Mu.

"The Emperor didn't know that you had returned to the capital this time, and today he sent an imperial envoy to Yunzhou to summon you back to the capital.

The emperor probably wants to kill you.

Why do you still want to fall into this trap?"

Qin Mu and Fang Ling looked at each other.

No wonder my grandfather felt that they were walking into a trap.

After all, in my grandfather's view, if the two of them returned to Beijing directly without any soldiers, they would definitely be easily controlled by the emperor.

At that time, won’t it be left to the emperor to deal with?

Qin Mu explained calmly:

"We brought soldiers with us this time, but we didn't bring them to the village at the moment.

We stationed our soldiers approximately three kilometers away from the capital."

General Sun's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"So how many troops did you bring?"
