Chapter 467 Are You Satisfied Now?_1
Empress Yu was so sensible, and since he himself had always intended to use Empress Yu, the Emperor of Xiyun would not be so ruthless. Instead, he said, "The Yu Family has spread rumors and made a mockery of dukes and nobles, which should be severely punished; but considering she did so out of concern for me and without self-interest, I will show leniency.

An Jing was about to say she wouldn’t consider it, when suddenly a sharp pain in her abdomen made her immediately squat down, clutching her stomach. The pain turned her face pale, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she couldn’t help but moan lowly, "Husband, my stomach hurts... it hurts so much..."
