Chapter 1162 - 1156: King Jin Cannot Have Children
The Empress’s complexion changed as she said, "What wouldn’t you do? Even resorting to surrogate childbirth, I..."
"Enough!" the usually gentle and soft-spoken Emperor suddenly roared in anger.

"I..." the Empress said in a panic: "Your Majesty, if I say I am truly wronged, would you believe me?" She shook her head and said, "No, you wouldn’t believe me. Ever since he returned, you changed; even though you were partial before, always taking Prince Qin’s side, at least you were fair between me and Sheng Qiaoyue.
