Chapter 482 Pregnant?
Chapter 482 Pregnant?
I added the chapter I owed yesterday after the previous chapter and merged it with the original previous chapter.
When I posted it, I took a look and found that 18 readers had already urged me to update. Those who read it before didn't see the chapter I added. Remember to turn back~

The gilded incense burner in the Yilan Hall exuded a rich and soft fragrance, with smoke curling up. The bluestone floor in the hall was cold and hard, with a slight chill.
"Aunt, please save me."
Jiang Yulan quietly came to Yilan Palace and knelt down, his voice choked with sobs.
When Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi heard this, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.
"Alright, I don't care what mistake you made. We'll talk later. I have something to talk to you about."
Jiang Yulan pursed her lips aggrievedly and said softly, "Aunt, please give me your orders."
"Your cousin got into trouble, you..."
Before Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi could start talking, Jiang Yulan interrupted and asked, "Aunt, what happened to my cousin, the Eighth Prince?"
Jiang Yulan's eyes were filled with tears, which she quickly wiped away. She pretended to be anxious and took two steps on her knees.
Jiang Yulan happily saw the look of satisfaction on her aunt's face at that moment.
In front of her aunt, she has to pretend to be deeply in love with her cousin.
"His Majesty previously ordered the Crown Prince to be fully responsible for the southern tour of the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince and your cousin the Eighth Prince. Today, His Majesty told me that the princes on the southern tour colluded with the navy of Guangdong and Liangyue and forced Annan to rebel." Jiang Lanzhi's voice was very low.
Jiang Yulan had tears on her face as she stared blankly at Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi.
"Frightened?" Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi bent down and gently helped Jiang Yulan up, her voice extremely gentle, "I was also frightened by your majesty just now, and I haven't recovered yet. I was too anxious, so my attitude towards you just now was a little cold and hard. Don't blame your aunt."
Jiang Yulan's tears fell. She shook her head and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince...?"
"Aunt needs you to go to the East Palace to inquire about your cousin's affairs. Is there any difficulty?"
"Aunt knows how much the prince favors you, right?"
"This matter...how much of the truth can you find out?" Jiang Lanzhi took a handkerchief and gently wiped Jiang Yulan's face to wipe away her tears.
Her fingertips accidentally brushed across her niece's smooth and delicate cheek, and she sighed in her heart:
"She's not stunningly beautiful, but she's pretty. However, the prince has seen many beauties since he was a child, so why did he fall in love with my niece?"
"Aunt?" Jiang Yulan looked at Jiang Lanzhi in surprise.
Why are people suddenly commenting on her appearance? I don't understand.
Jiang Lanzhi patted Jiang Yulan's back without changing her expression and asked gently, "Have you come to your senses?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yulan bit her lips lightly and lowered her eyes pitifully.
"Don't you want to help your aunt?" Seeing her silence, Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi's expression darkened. She looked at Jiang Yulan with disappointment and stood up as if to leave.
"Aunt, Yu Lan naturally wants to help, Aunt..." Jiang Yu Lan hurriedly grabbed Jiang Lanzhi's wrist.
"Yu Lan, thank you for your help." Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi looked at Jiang Yu Lan with gratitude.
"There's no need to marry the Eighth Prince. It's Yu Lan's duty to help her aunt and cousin." Jiang Yu Lan's expression faded.
"Yu Lan, are you... tired?" Jiang Lanzhi was a little surprised at Jiang Yu Lan's sudden cold tone and expression.
Jiang Yulan lowered her head, bit her lip and shook her head, tears hanging on her eyelashes.
Concubine Min Jiang Lanzhi frowned, then perked up again: "By the way, Yu Lan, what's the matter with you just asking aunt to save you? Did something go wrong with the mission?"
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I'll ask someone to find Shang Gong and everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Jiang Yulan just shook his head silently.
Jiang Lanzhi sighed, "Aunt is your elder, the only elder relative you have in the palace. Is there anything you can't tell her?"
Jiang Yulan clutched her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white.
After a long time, she stammered, "Auntie...I...I seem to be...pregnant."
Her words were like a bomb that blew Jiang Lanzhi's mind.
Jiang Lanzhi's body shook and she took a step back.
"Are you a lady-in-waiting in the palace? You, you..."
Jiang Lanzhi raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Yulan. You haven't come up with anything for a long time. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Aunt, Yu Lan, Yu Lan was forced. Aunt, please believe me, I..." Jiang Yu Lan's voice was weak with tears in it.
