The moment the three words "illegitimate child" came out.
Jiang Jingyi sucked in a cold breath and nearly fainted from anger.
Fine, fine, fine. So Show-off had become her own son, had he!
After all that, it wasn't because they knew that kind of intimate relationship had happened between her and Lin Heng!
"Hehehehehe..." Jiang Jingyi sat back down on the dragon throne, a meaningful smile hanging on her face as she said, "Jiang Yan, why would you think Lin Heng is my child?"
"When He Qingcang was discussing it with others in private, someone in my manor overheard it and passed the matter on to me."
"Sis, you concealed your identity and went to the Western Continent, formed the Western Continent Alliance and recommended Lin Heng as alliance leader, kept sending Lin Heng good things over and over again, and even helped him resolve the trouble with the ancient clans."
"All of that is true, right!"
"That's right!" Jiang Jingyi nodded. Those things were indeed true.
"Then isn't that it? You did so much for Lin Heng. If there wasn't some tremendous connection between the two of you, what were you after? Even if He Qingcang hadn't said anything, I would have suspected whether Lin Heng's surname was Jiang."
"I'm your own younger brother, and I've never seen you treat me this well!"
"Not to mention, Sis, there was also a period when you went into seclusion for more than twenty years. Combining that with Lin Heng's age, so..."
Crack—!
Jiang Jingyi's jade-like hand clenched tight, letting out a terrifying sound. She gritted her teeth and said, "So, you all think those twenty years this emperor spent in seclusion were spent giving birth and bearing a child, is that it!"
They all said rumors stopped with the wise!
