Lady Jin was in a daze after hearing this. She bowed a little and saw Yun Shang's hands. She said with a smile, "Well, you truly learnt a lot from your father."

Yun Shang frowned. She felt a little confused. She sat back on her chair and stared at Lady Jin. Lady Jin felt uncomfortable under her scrutiny, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Thiis child is an accident. I'm not sure whether I should let this child be born."

Yun Shang bit her lip and said gently, "Actually, I was came to speak with you about another matter, mother."

Lady Jin kept silent for a while and said, "I once thought that there was still a feeling of love, or hate at least, for the Emperor. But, recently, I have realized that he wasn't the one I loved. I felt no excitement when I saw him. I guess I neither love or hate him anymore."

"Mother, but you are pregnant with his child." Yun Shang pondered for a while, and said, "I did something which I believe to be wrong now."

"Well, what is it?" Lady Jin smiled at Yun Shang.

Yun Shang looked at Lady Jin with knitted eyebrows, "My father hasn't been to Qiwu Palace in several months. The Empress was so worried that she wanted to use a maid. What's more, she gave my father Acacia to support her plan. So I sent someone to inform my father. I also sent a maid dressed like you to seduce my father…"

"I truly hoped you would have a happy and innocent childhood." Lady Jin paused for a while before continuing, "But at last, you have become involved in the strife of the Imperial Household."

"My mother, did I make a mistake?" Yun Shang felt a little guilty. She lowered her eyes to look at her mother's belly. The baby must have been very small for she couldn't see any sign of the pregnancy.

Lady Jin shook her head and said, "There has always been all kinds of women around him. I used to be so annoyed then I was here in the Cold Palace. So after all these years, I have realized he is an Emperor. It's not his fault. He doesn't mean a lot to me now. I have done so many things wrong,

I… I …" "I feel happy, too"

Emperor Ning laughed again and stared at Qin Meng for a while. Fearful of being exposed, Qin Meng quickly lowered her head. Emperor Ning held up her chin and smiled. "You are shy." He said before kissing her.

The scene brought a frown on Yun Shang's face. As the Emperor began removing Qin Meng's clothes, Yun Shang took out a black pill and threw it into the room. Slowly, smoke began rising from the pill. The Emperor and the maid lost consciousness after breathing the smoke.

Yun Shang then stepped out of the shadows and began undressing Qin Meng. She stopped when the maid was almost completely undressed. She stood up and looked at the two people lying on the floor. "I don't want to ruin my plan, but I don't want to hurt my mother either. When you wake, you will believe something happened between you two, " Yun Shang mumbled to herself.

Yun Shang stood in her spot for a while. When she was about to leave, she heard a familiar voice taunting her. "You employed schemed on your father, Princess Hui Guo. You are really something…"

Yun Shang was shocked to hear this. She looked up and saw a man standing on the roof. There was no doubt that he had witnessed everything.

Yun Shang was annoyed. "Uncle, you broke into the Imperial Household at night. Did you have a love affair with one of the concubines there?"
