Bab 223: 223: The trap

"So, even you do not believe me, nanny? Why does everyone keep asking me whether this child belongs to the emperor? Does this child have no value if it is not the imperial blood? Why is the world like this?"

Concubine Hwasa asked in a tense voice as she held her stomach.

Her pregnancy was barely confirmed, and she was not even showing. But Concubine Hwasa kept a tense face and kept making a bitter face.

The nanny realised she had stepped on a landmine and needed to quickly back off.

But instead of apologizing, the nanny decided to use this opportunity to contact the Concubine and deepen her impression of the fragile lady.

"It is nothing like that, my lady. I asked this question to confirm how much we needed to cover. As you know, pregnancy in the imperial palace is a rare phenomenon. Even more so when it comes to the emperor's offspring."
