The Imperial Doctors hurriedly lowered their gaze, not daring to speak.
Shen Chuwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, Xiao Jinyu always speaks the blunt truth, I like it.
The Emperor reprimanded in a deep voice, "Yuyu, how presumptuous."
Xiao Jinyu slightly moderated the tone he used when speaking, "Father Emperor, the child within Lady Shen's womb is your son's nephew. If Father Emperor does not acknowledge this grandchild, your son still acknowledges his nephew."
The Emperor looked at his son, whose temper was the spitting image of the Empress when she was young—equally hot-headed and stubborn, and just as protective of Lady Shen.
"Yuyu, do you think I do not wish for Lady Shen to be carrying my grandchild? But the fact is not so. Your mother was deceived by Lady Shen, do not be fooled as well," the Emperor said.
"Father Emperor, both Mother Empress and I are adults, capable of discerning right from wrong," Xiao Jinyu retorted.
