Husband, Be A Gentleman 『Liskook』

Chapter 52

Bei Dou followed jungkook to the palace.

Bei Dou disappeared after jungkook entered the emperor's chamber.

The emperor sat on the highest chair and he wore a somber expression. While Consort Mu and seventh prince sat happily beside the emperor and the empress was in her chamber and her heart was missing the absent crown prince.

'Xiao Kook, I heard Lisa's body has been unwell,' Consort Mu said. 'Is she feeling better today?'

Jungkook hid Lisa 's chest injury for two months. He explained to his imperial family that Lisa had a chest infection and he had invited many physicians to clear her chest infection but she was still ill.

Since the harvest festival incident Consort Mu and seventh prince's spies couldn't enter jungkook's manor to confirm if Lisa was pregnant.

'Compared to a few days ago Lisa's body is recovering,' jungkook said. 'But to be safe Lisa needs to rest for a few more days. Lisa asks for imperial father and mother's forgiveness.'

The emperor frowned. Even jungkook's wife had a weak body then the Dian Kingdom would have to wait longer for the emperor to have the first grandson.

'Lisa can visit your imperial father and me later,' Consort Mu said. 'Lisa's health is more important. But I haven't seen her for two months... perhaps Xiao Lisa's physicians...' She turned to look concern at the emperor. 'Why don't I send my imperial physician to examine Lisa?'

Consort Mu wouldn't feel at ease until she could confirm if Lisa was ill or pregnant. If jungkook declined her offer then she would know Lisa was pregnant.

'Mother that is kind of you,' jungkook said.

The emperor was frustrated to hear Consort Mu looking down on jungkook. Although jungkook didn't compete with his other sons or request anything from him, jungkook was still his son. He couldn't believe jungkook didn't even request for him to send an imperial physician to examine Lisa who was ill for more than two months.

The emperor frowned while assessing his three sons that were in his chamber. One son was too cruel, another son was an enigma and the youngest son still didn't know how to speak clearly.

Wang Fu Mu rushed into the emperor's chamber and he could see the emperor's thoughts.

'What happened?' the emperor asked.

'Your majesty, earlier seventh prince's second wife's messenger informed that she fainted,' Wang Fu Mu said.

The emperor glared at Wang Fu Mu who dared to smile while reporting bad news to him.

'The imperial physician who examined seventh prince's second wife said that she is pregnant,' Wang Fu Mu said.

'Truly?' the emperor asked suspiciously.

Wang Fu Mu glanced at Consort Mu and he wondered if Consort Mu would dare to learn from the empress and Princess Kang Hua's bad example.

'Emperor, please grant my request to let Long Thi enter the palace for your imperial physician to examine her,' Consort Mu said. 'I'm worried she'll miscarry.'

The emperor nodded his head and he thought perhaps he was going to have his first grandson soon.

Consort Mu and seventh prince exchanged a secret smile at each other.

Consort Mu and seventh prince knew Long Thi was pregnant for a while and purposely sent a messenger to the palace to announce the news to the emperor. As they expected the emperor didn't need to see Long Thi but sent imperial physicians to confirm Long Thi's pregnancy.
