Jiang Yanwan and Concubine Yue looked at each other, and both felt an ominous premonition in their hearts. They didn't know what would happen next, but they were ready to meet the upcoming challenges.

At this moment, the emperor stared at them, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Empress Yue is pregnant. I want to make her baby the crown prince. What do you think?"

When Concubine Yue and Jiang Yanwan heard the emperor's words, they were both stunned. Jiang Yanwan was shocked, but she suppressed her doubts and looked at Concubine Yue.

Concubine Yue took a deep breath and forced a smile: "This... This is a great joyous event. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded: "Your Highness, you have worked hard. I will take good care of you and your baby. Jiang Yanwan, you must do your best to ensure that Your Highness is healthy."

Jiang Yanwan immediately bowed respectfully: "I will obey your order and do my best."

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, Concubine Yue seemed a little uneasy. Seeing this, Jiang Yanwan comforted her softly, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm here to protect you and the child."

Concubine Yue glanced at her, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Thank you, Miss Jiang."

After returning to Concubine Yue's palace, Jiang Yanwan immediately began to arrange some supplements and medicinal food to regulate Concubine Yue's body. Wu Junyao secretly investigated, and he suspected that there must be a hidden story behind all this.

A few days later, Wu Junyao finally found some clues and decided to find King Jin. However, when he came to the secret residence of King Jin's mother, he found a shocking corpse-the corpse of King Jin's mother, with her face peeled off!

Wu Junyao felt that the seriousness of the matter was getting higher and higher, and he quickly returned to share the discovery with Jiang Yanwan. Jiang Yanwan's heart was even more overwhelmed, and she realized that Concubine Yue's secret was far more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.

At night, Jiang Yanwan came to Concubine Yue's palace again. This time, she had to find out the truth.

"My queen, there is something I must tell you," Jiang Yanwan whispered, "Commander Wu found the body of the Prince of Jin's mother, but her face was peeled off."

Concubine Yue was shocked, and a trace of fear and anger flashed in her eyes: "What? What's going on?"

"We suspect that all this may be related to the emperor's arrangements. He may have planned all of this a long time ago, including your appearance." Jiang Yanwan said in a deep voice.

Concubine Yue closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "It seems that things are more complicated than I thought. Miss Jiang, we must act carefully and uncover the truth behind all this."

Jiang Yanwan nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Madam, I will do my best to help you."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside, and the maid ran in hurriedly: "My queen, it's bad, the emperor has suddenly summoned you and ordered you to go to the palace immediately!"

Concubine Yue and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other, alarm bells ringing in their hearts. They immediately tidied their appearance and followed the maid to the main hall.

Arriving at the main hall, I saw the emperor sitting upright with a stern look on his face. Beside him stood several high-ranking officials and ministers, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Empress Yue, Jiang Yanwan, you are here." The emperor said coldly.

Concubine Yue bowed politely and asked, "Why does the Emperor summon you?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, his gaze was cold: "I have received news that someone explored the remains of Prince Jin's mother and found something that should not have been found. What is your explanation for this?"

Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled, knowing that the matter had been exposed, but she forced herself to remain calm: "Your Majesty, we are only investigating some things because we are worried about the safety of the imperial concubine."

The emperor sneered: "Really? Don't you know that every step in this palace is under my control?"

Concubine Yue said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please understand. We have no ulterior motives, we just want to protect you and your unborn child."

The emperor stood up and slowly approached them, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "I know what you are thinking, but there are some things that are best not investigated, otherwise..."

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the hall, and a guard ran in in a panic: "Report, the enemy country's envoys suddenly visited and asked to see the emperor!"

The emperor frowned: "At this time?"

The guard nodded: "Yes, they said they had important news to convey."

The emperor calmed down and waved his hand: "Okay, you guys leave first, I will go meet these envoys."

Concubine Yue and Jiang Yanwan immediately bowed and withdrew. When they walked out of the hall, they both felt a heavy stone hanging in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, it seems we have to speed up our actions and find out everything." Jiang Yanwan said in a low voice.

Concubine Yue nodded: "Yes, time is running out."

That night, they gathered again in Concubine Yue's bedroom to discuss their next plan.

"Miss Jiang, we must find the real Concubine Yue. Only she can solve all these mysteries." Concubine Yue said firmly.

Jiang Yanwan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will contact Governor Wu and ask him to step up the investigation and protection."

In the dead of night, Jiang Yanwan still couldn't fall asleep, her heart was full of worries and expectations for the future. She knew that the road ahead was long, but in order to uncover the truth and protect Concubine Yue, she was willing to give everything.

At this time, a mysterious man in black quietly appeared in the emperor's bedroom and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, everything has been handled according to your instructions. What should we do next?"

The emperor smiled coldly: "Continue to monitor, and report immediately if there is any unusual movement. I will not let anyone ruin my plan."

At the same time, Wu Junyao and his men were secretly searching for the real Concubine Yue. He secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what the cost, he would find her and uncover the truth.

The capital city at night hides too many unknown secrets. Jiang Yanwan, Concubine Yue, Wu Junyao and their enemies are each planning their next move in the dark. The gears of fate begin to turn, and a magnificent contest is about to begin.

"Mother, do you think there is any connection between the matter of Concubine Yue and Prince Jin?" A Yan suddenly asked.

Jiang Yanwan stroked her son's head and said gently, "Ayan, some things need further confirmation, but we will definitely find the truth."

Ah Yan nodded and said firmly, "I believe you, mother."

"Jun Yao, have you found anything over there?" Jiang Yanwan returned to Wu Mansion and discussed the latest situation with Wu Jun Yao.

Wu Junyao's expression was also somewhat solemn. Things were more troublesome than he had imagined. Someone actually stole a dead person's face.

Everyone knew that Prince Jin's biological mother was the emperor's favorite, but no one knew where Concubine Yue came from...
