Forget it, Miss Du can’t be kept in the dark anymore, let’s delay for some time and talk after Searcy brings Jin Zijin back.

Additionally, Miss Du is currently asleep, and how to explain her identity would be best left to her.

After a while, Eunuch Wan came out.

He glanced at Gu Youyou with a look of difficulty.

Gu Youyou gave a bitter smile and said, "Eunuch Wan, at such a critical moment, just say what you see."

Eunuch Wan sighed and said to the Emperor, "There is indeed another woman in the room, lying in bed asleep, with two children beside her. The quilt is covered in much blood that hasn’t been dealt with, indicating she must have just given birth."

This old eunuch, Gu Youyou said without words, "There are two children, and I also gave birth to one."

The Empress immediately retorted, "Hmph, do you look like someone who has just given birth? The girl in the room gave birth to twins, who doesn’t know that you can discern whether a pregnant woman is carrying twins or a single child, you must have known that she was carrying twins and then brought her into the mansion.

When she gave birth, you would claim one of them as your own. "

"I..." Gu Youyou was left speechless by her wild accusation.

Is it my fault for being able to discern twins?

"Cough cough, Youyou, is the child really yours?" the Emperor asked Gu Youyou flatly.

Gu Youyou replied, "Of course, it’s my child. She and I each gave birth to one."

"Still not giving up?" the Empress angrily said, "All of you come in."

Moments later, several maids entered the room, kneeling before the Emperor.

The Empress told them, "Tell the Emperor clearly, what anomalies are there in this mansion?"

Arguing nonsensically, Gu Youyou was no match for her.

But she wasn’t worried at all, now that the Emperor was here, the Empress wouldn’t dare to privately punish her, so whether the child was hers or not, did the Empress need to say?

After all, a clean hand wants no washing.

Gu Youyou indifferently watched those maids kneeling on the ground, the Empress’s spies, quietly observing the drama they would enact.

A maid bravely said, "Replying to the Emperor, to Your Highness the Empress, this servant, this servant feels something is wrong with this mansion. Because the Prince’s Consort has never allowed us to approach this courtyard, and after the Prince came back, the Prince’s Consort moved to another courtyard with the Prince, and this courtyard was sealed.

Although everyone in this mansion knows a little, it’s known that someone lives here, but we don’t know who. "

Another maid quickly followed, "This servant saw, last night, in a rush the Prince’s Consort brought Xiang Chun and Searcy with a medicine box into this courtyard, then we heard a woman’s screams from beyond the courtyard walls all night, it wasn’t the voice of the Prince’s Consort, and this morning we heard the cries of a child. "

After speaking, that maid quickly glanced at Gu Youyou, then quickly lowered her head.

In Gu Youyou’s heart: damn, these sound insulation effects from the broken glass are too poor, everyone knows?

The Empress looked at Gu Youyou with a smirk, then respectfully said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, all this evidence shows that Gu Youyou intentionally hid a woman in the mansion. Seeing how she cared for this woman and even generously let her stay in the main courtyard, it is clear that the child in this woman’s belly certainly has nothing to do with the Prince.

Thus, this consort is willing to believe that this woman was brought here by her to act as a surrogate, intending to disrupt the Imperial Family’s bloodline.
