Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3100

Cold sweat beaded on Leon's forehead as he faced Quincy's wrath—he almost cried in distress. "Have mercy, Your Highness. I would not be brave enough to lie to you, Your Highness. The Empress' pulse was beating fast, and she is pregnant, indeed..."

Whoa!

Pandemonium broke out among the hundreds of civil and military officials when they heard the imperial physician.

"What's going on?"

"The Emperor is long gone, and now the Empress is pregnant..."

"Shhh, keep your voice down!"

The Empress trembled in horror. Her beautiful face no longer showed an imposing and majestic air. A surge of anxiety and uncertainty had taken over her lovely face.

After the death of the Emperor, the Empress had decided to keep herself pure and observed chastity. How could she be pregnant without a man?

The Empress did not know that she was pregnant with Darryl's child. Darryl had stumbled into the Empress' room by accident when Yang Jian led an army to attack the South Cloud World. She thought he was the Emperor in her dream, and they spent the night together.

Then, a month ago, by coincidence, Darryl had another night with the Empress. That was how she had gotten pregnant with his child.

There was complete silence in the hall!

For a while, the hall was surprisingly quiet.

Someone laughed.

Then, a burly figure slowly walked forward amid the hundreds of civil and military officials. He looked at the Empress with a strange smile. "Your Majesty, would you care to explain yourself?"

The man was in his thirties, and he was dressed in purple and gold armor with a four-clawed golden python embroidered on it. He was King Jannan, Jethro Lyon.

Jethro was the deceased Emperor's younger brother, and he enjoyed a prominent social status. When the Emperor was still alive, he appointed King Jannan to guard the South Cloud World's border. Jethro's status was comparable to Quincy.

When the Emperor died, Jethro had a chance to succeed the throne, but he had his duty at the border at that time, so the Empress had a solid head start.
