Chapter 323 Choice
Hearing Ye Yunting's voluntary admission, the anger in Concubine Yang Shu's eyes almost turned into substance.

If she had known this would happen, she should not have agreed to let Chu Nanli enter the palace in the first place.

What good can such a woman of unknown origin and low status do!
She might as well choose one for Ye Yunting at her mother's house.

"Your Majesty, the girl has something to say."

Chu Nanli knew that Ye Yunting still stubbornly believed that the child in her womb was a bastard.

She was unable to produce evidence, and at the same time she was unwilling to let Ye Yunting know the truth.

We can only let him continue to misunderstand like this.

"The daughter of the people knows that she has failed the King of War and has harmed the reputation of the royal family, so the daughter of the people is willing to go down to the court and hopes that your majesty will do it."

"Father, my son disagrees!"

As soon as Ye Yunting said these words, he realized that he was a little anxious.

Now, he still doesn't understand his heart clearly.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with Chu Nanli.

It's just that there is still a wild seed in Chu Nanli's belly, if she just invites her to go down, and the wild seed has not been removed, how can he be willing?
The emperor did not intend to directly agree to Chu Nanli.

He obviously valued the royal reputation more.

This child must be eliminated.

Chu Nanli noticed the dark color in the emperor's eyes, and instantly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She knew very well that in order to preserve the reputation of the royal family, the emperor might really want the life of the child in her womb!

Chu Nanli could only bite the bullet and speak: "Does Your Majesty still remember that he once made a promise to the daughter of the people?"

The emperor certainly remembered what happened not long ago.

It's just that Chu Nanli made a promise at this time, in the eyes of the emperor, it inevitably carried a hint of threat.

The emperor's face also clearly showed a trace of displeasure.

"Minnv implore Your Majesty, allow Minnv to leave Zhanwang Mansion."

As for the life of the child in her womb, she didn't mention it directly, but the meaning was already understood by the emperor.

"Father..."

The emperor raised his hand and directly stopped Ye Yunting's movements.

He looked at Chu Nanli again, with some scrutiny in his eyes.

"You mean, you want to use the promise I made before in exchange for the life of the child in your womb?"

"What if I don't agree?"

He looked at Chu Nanli, no longer as gentle as before, now he had completely revealed the majesty of the emperor.

He is the emperor, so of course he promises everything he says.

But if he wanted Chu Nanli's life, it was only in one thought.

Chu Nanli also understood that for the sake of royal reputation, the emperor would definitely not forgive her easily.

Unless she can come up with conditions that make the emperor's heart beat.

On the side, Ye Yunting's face became extremely ugly when he heard that Chu Nanli was willing to pay such a price to leave her.

If the emperor and concubine Yang Shu were not still here now, he might have attacked Chu Nanli long ago.

Concubine Yang Shu was also unwilling to let her go like this: "Your Majesty, she shamelessly became pregnant with a bastard, and now she is threatening you with her previous promise!"

"If this kind of thing spreads, won't it make people laugh at you?"

It would be best if His Majesty could get angry over this matter and kill Chu Nanli directly!
"I have my own discretion on what to do."

The emperor gave Concubine Yang Shu a warning look, at least in today's matter, she was indeed a little reckless.

Even though Chu Nanli did have someone else's child in her belly.

She shouldn't have publicized the matter in such a big way, causing the trouble to end now.

"However, Concubine Shu's words are indeed justified. I can allow the two of you to reconcile, but this child must not be kept!"

After all, this child was not Ye Yunting's biological child, but was conceived by Chu Nanli when she was still Princess Zhan.

What if someone makes a fuss about this matter and confuses the royal bloodline?
Before Chu Nanli could open his mouth to argue, the emperor had already continued.

"I will order people to prepare the Heli document. At the same time, I will also order people to prepare abortion drugs."

"I only give you two choices."

Either give up this child, or never get rid of the identity of Princess Zhan.

Such a choice can be regarded as the emperor's tolerance and magnanimity.

But Chu Nanli still wouldn't agree.

After all, it is impossible for her to abandon the child in her womb.

This was not just the original wish of the original owner.

She and this child are connected by blood, how could she abandon her own child?
But right now, she must try to prove that what happened that night in Xingshan Temple, and by the way prove that the child belongs to Ye Yunting.

It's just that if that's the case, I'm afraid Ye Yunting will be even more unwilling to let go.

But if she didn't tell what happened that night, this child would still be a bastard in the eyes of others.

The emperor and the empress dowager, I'm afraid they can't tolerate them.

How should she choose?

In Chu Nanli's eyes, heaven and man are at war, and now, there is actually one desperate way left.

"Princess Zhan, you have to think clearly before answering."

The emperor's words were like a kind reminder.

In fact, it is a threat in disguise.

Chu Nanli's back was covered with cold sweat, but she still tentatively spoke: "Your Majesty, the fetus in the belly of a civilian girl is innocent after all..."

"Do you know what the crime is for those who disrupt the royal family's discipline!"

"I think you have treated me preferentially because you have treated me before, so don't be obsessed with it!"

Hearing this, Yang Shufei's eyes flashed with pride.

Among the few people present, no one knew the rules of the palace better than her.

She hoped that Chu Nanli would continue to resist the order.

According to the rules of the palace, anyone who has an affair with someone will be killed with a stick!

Under the heavy pressure, Chu Nanli's lower abdomen already felt a little painful.

She was heartbroken and had already made a decision.

Just as she was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly came from the gate of the palace.

“Brother, it’s really lively here!”

Ye Jiuxiao was covered in travel dust, and her stature was a bit thinner than before she left Beijing.

However, his expression is still calm: "My younger brother just returned to Beijing, and he encountered such a big scene unexpectedly."

"When did the emperor's brother return to the capital?" A flash of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, "Didn't I say before that it would take some time?"

He clearly remembered that the spies sent out had come to report that Ye Jiuxiao's operations in the south were not going well.

Maybe it will delay it for a while longer.

"When things are done, they will come back naturally."

"My brother is out here and has found a lot of gadgets for my mother to relieve her boredom. I was planning to give them to my mother. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

Ye Jiuxiao glanced at Ye Yunting with a half-smile, and then continued to speak leisurely.

"Just now, my younger brother has sent someone to invite the queen mother over."

Ye Yunting suppressed his anger and said: "These are my nephew's family affairs, why does the emperor's uncle need to make it known to everyone?"

"Could it be that this king is not your elder?"

Just standing in front of him, Ye Jiuxiao's momentum surpassed him by a large margin.

Not to mention, he still holds the title of elder.
