The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 3100

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. 1

"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. 2

Then, a month ago, by coincidence, Darryl had another night with the Empress. That was how she had gotten pregnant with his child. 1

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.

Therefore, Jethro had always been dissatisfied with the Empress and wanted to seize the throne. He knew that his opportunity had come when the Empress got pregnant mysteriously.

"Jethro!"

The Empress snapped back to her senses and glowered at Jethro, "what do you mean?"

"What did I mean?"

Jethro stepped forward; he appeared awe-inspiring due to his righteousness. "The Emperor has passed away for many years, but you have gotten pregnant. That is a great embarrassment to the royal family.

How can we have a shameless woman like you as the Empress?"

"I don't need to say anything more about the situation. You know it best."

The officials stared at the Empress with a conflicted expression on their faces. It was quite different from the worshipful looks that they would usually have for her.

Jethro was right. The Empress was the South Cloud World's ruler; she was the vision of the entire South Cloud World. However, she was pregnant with an illegitimate child. If the news were to spread, the South Cloud World Royal would become a laughing stock in the Nine Mainland.

There was much mumbling and discussion among the civil and military officials.
