Chapter 3101
Jethro had interrogated the dignified South cloud World Empress so openly before so
many people. How could she carry herself with dignity in public after such humiliation?
What made it worse was that Jethro had accused the Empress of having sexual
intercourse with an unruly man.
That was intolerable!
Jethro faced the Empress' wrath calmly; he remained impassive.
The hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall held their breath in trepidation.
On one side was the Empress, while the other side was King Jannan, who was in control
of the military.
Neither of those two people were individuals that one should trifle with.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire secret chamber seemed extremely solemn
and gloomy.
"Jethro!"
Suddenly, Quincy—who sat next to Jethro—could no longer keep her emotions in check. She shouted at Jethro, "You
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtare so bold! How dare you speak to Her Majesty like this? Are you plotting a rebellion?"
The truth had left Quincy in great dismay, but she and the Empress were as close as sisters, and they adored each
other. Even if the Empress made a mistake, Quincy would offer her full support and never let the other people bully
her beloved sister.
Huh!
Jethro merely gave an insouciant grunt in response to Quincy’s rebuke. He pulled a mocking and disdainful face.
"Quincy, don't accuse me of such an atrocity! Your sister seduced a man and is pregnant with an illegitimate child,
she is a disgrace to the royal family. I must get to the bottom of this!"
Then, Jethro took a deep breath. He was too lazy to engage further in small talks. He turned to the
Empress and asked, "There had better be a good explanation as to what had happened today!"
He spoke in an upright tone, offering no room for rebuttal.
"You—"
Quincy was upset, but she did not know how to refute Jethro. After all, it was a fact that the Empress was pregnant.

All the civil and military officials in the hall looked at the Empress again.
The Empress bit her lips so hard that she almost bled when she realized everyone was staring at her. "I would never
betray the Emperor. I have met him in my dreams; perhaps this child is the Emperor's
innate spirit. Perhaps the child is given to me as a gift so that there is a successor in the royal bloodline." 1
The Empress's face reddened when she made that explanation; she was indescribably humble.
She would usually keep such personal matters to herself; she would not have brought it up in front of the civil and
military officials. However, there was nothing else she could do when Jethro demanded an explanation, she would
be doomed if she refused the chance to explain herself.
The Empress threw Jethro a side glance after the explanation. "Are you satisfied with this explanation? " She
sounded calm, but a fit of uncontrollable anger rose in her heart.
The wayward Jethro had slandered the Empress so openly—it was appalling.
'Did she say that she met the Emperor in her dreams?'
Jethro and the hundreds of civil and military officials were in a state of stupor after they
heard the explanation.
A few seconds later, Jethro reacted. He threw his head back and laughed; his eyes
were full of mockery. "You think you can get pregnant by meeting the Emperor in your
dreams? Do you think we're naive three-year- old kids?"
Then, Jethro's eyes flickered menacingly. He asked the Empress, "I'll ask you again,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwho is that unruly man?"
The Empress was so upset that she yelled, "Jethro, don't find fault with me! I am
innocent, and there is no unruly man."
"Well!"
Jethro sneered and said coldly, "If that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you a
chance. As the Empress of the South cloud World, you're now pregnant with an
illegitimate child. You're a disgrace to the royal family. It seems like I'll have to send
you to prison for proper interrogation and investigation!"
Then, Jethro glanced around the hall and announced in a rich icy tone, "I, Jethro, as
King Jannan, declare that the shameless Empress had a relationship with an unruly
man and is now pregnant with an illegitimate child, she has insulted the late Emperor's
trust and humiliated the royal family. Those of you who had served the late Emperor so
faithfully should stand with me to fix this royal scandal and get to the bottom of this
investigation." 1
Buzz!
Jethro finished his sentence and released a powerful breath of aura that disseminated
across the audience.
