Everyone's expressions changed rapidly, it was no longer just a matter of looking uncomfortable, but rather about being frozen in shock.
The implications of Song Yalin's words meant that she was declaring the child in her womb to be the future ruler of Yu State!
It is generally known that Princess Pingyang had only one daughter in the past six years. The Prince had never taken a side consort or concubine, hence his Royal Mansion had yet to have an heir. With the sudden news of Prince Pingyang's death, Yu State plunged into significant chaos. No matter how strong Yu State was, without a leader, it would crumble. Fortunately, the Princess currently had high prestige within the army, temporarily maintaining the overall situation, which managed to stabilize the entire state of affairs in Yu State.
But who knew that today, Song Yalin would drop such a bombshell, blasting the calm lake into ripples of chaos.
