The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

It takes a lot of courage to confront the emperor on the first meeting!

"Princess!" Jing Muyang immediately stood up and hugged her to help her calm down. Even though she only said two words, he knew very well that Chu Jian was holding it in. This was her bottom line and it couldn't be touched. He was afraid that she would go crazy.

"Princess, don't be angry. Don't be angry. I said that I would not want anyone else if I only wanted you. I have sworn an oath. If I don't keep my promise, I will be struck by lightning."

She softened at first sight and pursed her lips. Okay, she believed Jing Muyang would not accept it.

"Father, I swore in front of my parents and the heavens that I would only marry the first person I saw for the rest of my life. It has only been a short time, how can I be so easily shaken?"

"You..." The emperor was even more angry. Chu Jian contradicted him, and he was the emperor. Xiao Jiu not only did not blame Chu Jian and ask her to restrain herself, but she also doted on her without any bottom line. Concubine Yun was right, she just forgot her father after having a wife! And why did Xiao Jiu say that in front of so many people?

"Chu Jian is weak and has damaged his foundation and cannot bear children, so why don't you marry another one? Not having offspring is unfilial! I will never acknowledge it! Your oath is void!"

"Father! Where did you hear that I'm weak and sickly? Now you're saying that I have damaged my foundation and can't have children? Do you think I look like a weak and sickly person? I said that I have been healthy and strong since I was a child!" Chu Jian was about to cry.

"You want to give your son a woman. I am narrow-minded and cannot tolerate it. But if he wants to, I can't stop him. I have already told Mu Yang that if that happens, we can just part ways and divorce. When I first saw you, I would definitely make room for you without any hesitation. There is no need for you to smear me like this!"

"I just met you. You are really brave. You don't even take me seriously. Think carefully. Disrespecting the emperor is a capital crime. Do you understand?!"

"I'm not looking down on you, I'm just stating the facts!"

The emperor's eyes were sinister. Today was New Year's Day, and getting angry was a big taboo. However, the key point was that Chu Jian didn't seem to be listening, and she acted recklessly relying on Xiao Jiu's favor. She hadn't been punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor before, but now she had confessed it herself. Fine, if she had committed a big taboo, then she had committed a big taboo. No one could stop her today, and she had to be punished!

"Father!" Jing Muyang knelt down. He was afraid that Chu Jian's background would be exposed.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yun also knelt down. She understood the same thing as the emperor, that this first meeting had caused a big disaster.

"Shut up! No one can plead for her. Summon Dean He to the palace immediately!"

The emperor was furious. Today, he must expose her and punish her for deceiving the emperor! Even if she had a golden medal of immunity from death, she could only be spared from death. He had to abolish her position as the principal concubine!

"It's useless to call Dean He! I have been in good health since childhood and my foundation is not damaged. The reason I am not pregnant is because Mu Yang was poisoned and it is not suitable for childbirth within three to five months. Father, do you think that being pregnant is a good thing?" Chu Jian was not afraid at all and even glanced at the prince.

"What do you mean?"

Only a few people knew that Jing Muyang had been poisoned, and the emperor only knew that Jing Muyang had been detoxified, but he didn't know what happened next.

"It means exactly what it says. As a parent, good birth and good upbringing are the most basic and greatest protection for ourselves and our children." Chu Jian glanced at the prince again, "I just want a healthy and lovely child, and I am responsible for myself and my child, that's all."

"Why are you always staring at the prince? If you have something to say, just say it!"

The emperor felt that her behavior seemed to be saying that the poison was given to Xiaojiu by the prince, and he couldn't let others think so.

"Why was I looking at the prince? I was looking at Chu Xia! I clearly..." Chu Jian suddenly stopped, "Forget it, this is not something I should say, lest you accuse me of having ulterior motives. When Dean He comes, he will tell you."

Chu Jian snorted, completely ignoring the angry emperor, and sat down by himself.

Anyway, she had already contradicted him, so it didn't matter if she did it again. She knew that although the emperor was very concerned about his reputation, he was also a reasonable and good emperor.

The palace was silent, no one dared to say a word. The emperor looked gloomy and didn't understand what Chu Jian said, but why did his heart suddenly feel uneasy? It wasn't long since he last felt this way.

He asked the imperial concubine and Jing Muyang to stand up and sit back down. Jing Xu also returned to the Fourth Prince's side. He first saw her nestling in Jing Muyang's arms, playing with her hair in circles.

Dean He hurried over. The eunuch who delivered the message could not explain clearly what was happening in the hall. He only knew that he was very anxious. He thought something had happened to the emperor, so he rode straight over without even getting in the carriage. The cold wind made his cheeks red.

As soon as he entered the hall, the atmosphere was quite wrong. The emperor sat upright with a very serious expression mixed with a strong sense of dissatisfaction. It was New Year's Eve, and Dean He inexplicably broke out in sweat on his back. It didn't look good.

"Old minister..."

"No need to salute. I summoned you here mainly to check Chu Xia's pulse."

"Take my pulse first. I'm going to hurry." Chu Jian stood up and jumped a few times, then sat down, rolled up his sleeves, and put his hands directly on the table. "Headmaster He, just tell everyone my physical condition."

Dean He looked up at the emperor, and after getting his approval, he went over to feel her pulse.

"Princess Zhan has pulses in the three parts of the body, the Cun, the Guan, and the Chi. The pulses are neither floating nor sinking, but gentle and strong. Especially the Chi pulse is sinking and strong. The five internal organs are full, and the Qi and blood are sufficient. This is a very healthy pulse."

"Headmaster He, tell my father whether I have been weak since childhood."

"No, people who have been weak since childhood will have some damage to their bodies, especially to their organs. Even if they recover later, there will still be traces left. Your Majesty, judging from Princess Zhan's pulse, she is not only not weak, but also in better health than the average girl in the boudoir. She must have exercised regularly."

The emperor was incredulous. "The Prime Minister said that she had been sickly since she was a child, and the imperial physician had examined her at that time. She was indeed very ill. The imperial physician had also examined her before the wedding, and her health was also relatively weak. Would you like to examine her more carefully, Chief He?"

Chu Jian raised an eyebrow. Yes, an imperial physician had examined her before the wedding. She had just arrived in another world at that time and had been poisoned not long ago. She was frightened and worried, and couldn't eat or sleep well. She lost a lot of weight and her pulse was indeed not very good, but that was not a disease. She would be fine after some nourishment.

"Your Majesty, I was not present at the scene to comment on whether Princess Zhan was seriously ill or not, but she was not sickly since childhood. Any doctor with some ability can diagnose this."

Dean He signaled Doctor Xu, who had come to the palace earlier, to go forward and try it. Sure enough, Doctor Xu also confirmed what Dean He said.

"Father, I told you I'm in good health. Now you believe me, right?"

The emperor looked at Chu Jian and wondered what went wrong in the process. Why did the numbers not match? Was the prime minister lying? Did he really kill his eldest daughter to save Chu Xia?

"Take the pulse of the War King as well!"

Because there was a miraculous doctor in Prince Zhan's mansion, the emperor did not specifically ask the imperial physician to give the couple a thorough examination. The last time the imperial physician only said that they were weak and needed to be recuperated.

Dean He took the pulse of the War King and said, "Your Majesty, the pulse of His Royal Highness the War King is generally healthy, but he has not yet recovered from the caning and has been working hard for more than ten days. He is a little tired and weak. He needs to take some supplements."

"Alright, alright, I'll write him a prescription later and go see Chu Xia."

The emperor waved his hand, not allowing him to continue speaking. He guessed that what Chu Jian said was right.
