Chapter 647: Big Problem
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Empress was now more than two months pregnant. If everything went smoothly, she would give birth to the child in the middle of April next year.
The current Emperor had fallen into a coma on the 15th of April next year in his previous life. He would die two months later. If he gave birth to a boy, even if he did not have the eldest son, the Crown Prince, he would still have a legitimate son. In addition, the Second Prince was not grown up enough. No matter who ascended the throne to be the Emperor, they would have to get help from others to manage the government. According to the difference between the first son and the second son, the first son would definitely be the legitimate heir. The Shao family naturally could not rule the South like a tiger. Instead, it should be to support the soon to be Emperor, who had only been around for a month or two, to ascend the throne.
It was obvious that this child was born safely. That was why she asked.
“I can’t answer you that.” Xue Yan spoke the truth and also lowered his voice, a volume that only she could hear. “In my previous life, I never heard that the Empress was pregnant again. However, I can answer you with certainty that the Emperor did not have a princess in his previous life. He only had two children. These two children are both princes. One is the missing Crown Prince, and the other is the Second Prince.”
“That’s strange.” Jiang Yue frowned. “Doesn’t he have many consorts in his harem? Why does he only have two children?” She had thought that there would be two princes and many princesses.
He didn’t expect that there would only be two children, and they were the two princes.
Xue Yan was also unclear, so he didn’t say anything.
Seeing that he did not speak, Jiang Yue knew that he did not know about this matter either, so she did not dwell on this question anymore. Instead, she thought about how he had said that he had never heard of the Empress being pregnant in his previous life…
“In that case, ” Jiang Yue pondered, “There are two possibilities to this. One is that the Empress was not pregnant in her previous life. Secondly, although the Empress was pregnant again in her previous life, it must have been kept a secret. In the end, this child was not born, so no one knew. You really didn’t hear anything about it?”
When Xue Yan heard Shao Shuting say that Shao Youyue was pregnant and asked him and Jiang Yue to take care of her, he also felt that there were these two possibilities.
He nodded.
“Which possibility do you think stands a higher chance?” Jiang Yue asked.
“The second one.” After all, the Empress was indeed pregnant and her health was deteriorating. If it was not for Doctor Shen, it would not have taken long for the Empress to have a miscarriage.
Moreover, it was Shao Shuting who asked Doctor Shen to treat the Empress’s illness.
In his previous life, Shao Shuting would not have known Doctor Shen. Because, in his previous life, he did not know Shao Shuting, nor did he know Jiang Yue. In this life, it was because he and Jiang Yue sent Shao Shuting to the Shen’s Medical Center that Doctor Shen and Shao Shuting met.
Jiang Yue was also inclined to the second possibility. She felt that the second possibility was very likely, and the first possibility was very unlikely. However, it did not mean that it was impossible. She said, “If the Empress was never pregnant in her previous life, then what do you think went wrong?”
“Well…” Xue Yan immediately frowned. If that was really the case, then there would be a big problem. Perhaps, other than him, someone else had been reborn.
In any case, there were many possibilities that were completely out of their scope.
Jiang Yue naturally knew this, but she said, “Is it possible that this pregnancy was caused by the two of us?”
“Hmm?” Xue Yan looked at her..
