It was a ploy. Lu Yeming had found a body double to sleep with her.
And now she was pregnant with a bastard.
Lu Yeming had never touched her before.
Dongfang Ruoli stood in stunned silence. It felt as though she had been punched in the gut and she reeled back as if she had been slapped. She looked at the man in front of her. Lu Yeming was extremely tall and shone radiantly. He lowered his handsome face to look at her, his gaze so cold it froze her to her bones.
He really had no feelings for her at all.
"Your Highness, you… you actually…"
Dongfang Ruoli felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She reached down only to find her hand soaked in blood.
She was having a miscarriage.
Lu Yeming looked at Dongfang Ruoli and said coldly, "You have committed adultery and treason and these crimes need to be punished. You will step down from your Empress position immediately and be locked up for life."
With that, Lu Yeming turned and left.
