The Harem Is in Chaos

Thank you, Master!

Jia Mengluo bowed to Jiang Che, gently caressing her lower abdomen with one hand, a look of happiness revealing itself on her stunning face.

She could sense that she was already carrying Jiang Che's baby.

Because of Jia Ling'er, she didn't even dare to appear openly in front of Jiang Che. She could only hide secretly in the shadows like a canary. By day, she was the Queen of the Blue Clan, leading her people on the path to revival, but by night, she was nothing more than Jiang Che's personal maid by his pillow.

My Lord, I still hope you... won't tell Ling'er, Jia Mengluo said slowly.

After all, she was pregnant with Jiang Che's child. How would she face Ling'er once the child was born?

It's fine. When the time comes, your husband will work hard and get Ling'er pregnant too, won't that solve it? Jiang Che said, casually wrapping his arm around Jia Mengluo's waist. Mengluo, your fertility luck is quite good.

Jiang Che's words brought a few blushes to Jia Mengluo's cheeks.

Pregnancy... Although she had been pregnant before, that was a unique skill of the Blue Clan: parthenogenesis. It only required collecting one's own essence blood and drawing it into the body to conceive offspring. It was a method for the Blue Clan to preserve their royal bloodline without letting it be tainted by others.

But now... she was actually pregnant with a human's baby. This feeling was completely different from her first pregnancy.

Although Ling'er was also born of her, it was essentially a single-parent family. But now it was different. The baby in her belly was no longer from a single-parent family; it had a father. This realization gave her a sense of happiness.

Besides... Mengluo, do you really think Ling'er doesn't know about our relationship? Jiang Che said with a curled lip.

Jia Mengluo's pupils shrank. My... My Lord, what do you mean? Did you tell Ling'er about our relationship?

She could probably guess it by now, right? Take a look at what Ling'er said before...

Jiang Che took out a shadow-recording stone. In the next second, an image was projected from it.

A girl with blonde hair, who was none other than Jia Ling'er, was leaning against Jiang Che's chest in the image, whispering sweet nothings.

Hubby, do you want to take down the Empress? Hehe... I can help you...

Jia Mengluo was speechless.

She felt completely numb. Was this still the Ling'er she knew?

How did she turn out like this?

Look, Ling'er is very concerned about her mother's lifelong happiness! Jiang Che grinned.

A helpless expression appeared on Jia Mengluo's face. She no longer had the energy to fuss over anything.

Let's still not tell Ling'er about our relationship. When I give birth to the child... I will raise him alone, Jia Mengluo said softly.

Although Ling'er was carefree and didn't say much, she still couldn't accept sharing a husband with her daughter.

Actually, I still have to thank you, My Lord. Your care for the Blue Clan these past few days fills this lowly concubine with endless gratitude, Jia Mengluo spoke from the heart, all her previous arrogance having long been worn away.

To think she had once barged into the Jiang family, intending to detonate a heavenly tribulation to demand an explanation from Jiang Che?

Looking back now... how childish was that? Any random immortal from the Jiang family could have crushed her to death. They had only spared her out of respect for Jiang Che.

It's fine, 'lowly concubine' doesn't sound good. I have a certain trait: I will never mistreat a woman who becomes mine, Jiang Che said, his large hand playing with the ends of Jia Mengluo's hair. The aura of this Empress was simply extraordinary; indeed, a woman who had become a wife and mother was different.

Jia Mengluo lowered her eyes, a sense of melancholy in her gaze.

Jiang Che was indeed right. Ever since she became the woman beside his pillow, the Blue Clan had received a massive tilt in resources.

Protected by the Jiang family, no one in the entire Nine Heavens dared to bully their Blue Clan anymore.

Your husband has a treasure for you, Jiang Che took out a mirror inlaid with jade-white scales.

This is? Jia Mengluo's eyes widened slightly.

The Mer-Immortal Mirror, Jiang Che explained. A half-step Dao artifact. It's a mirror forged from the heart-protecting scales of the ancient Merfolk ancestors. Any Merfolk bloodline illuminated by the Mer-Immortal Mirror can be enhanced. It even contains your Merfolk's secret realm, which can temper your Merfolk bloodline...

When Jiang Che brought this item out, Jia Mengluo's eyes lit up.

It could enhance the Merfolk bloodline? One must know that their Blue Clan was currently completely restricted by their bloodline, making it impossible to improve it. The Mer-Immortal Mirror Jiang Che brought out now perfectly solved this problem!

As for whether Jiang Che brought out a fake?

That was absolutely impossible!

Hus... Husband, this is too important, I cannot take it! After a moment of hesitation, Jia Mengluo secretly changed her form of address from 'Master' to 'Husband,' while glancing at Jiang Che... feeling a bit guilty.

After all, she had made mistakes. Even though she had become Jiang Che's woman, she was still a guilty concubine!

Take it, or I'll have the child aborted, Jiang Che said flatly.

Hearing this, Jia Mengluo accepted it immediately.

Thank you, Husband. Do... do you need any mermaid girls from our Blue Clan? We've recently selected some stunning young mermaids who all admire you greatly.

Hearing this, Jiang Che waved his hands repeatedly. No thanks... he had eaten so much fish these past few days that he was getting sick of it. No more mermaids, please.

Oh, Jia Mengluo replied obediently. It just so happened she didn't want other girls sharing Jiang Che anyway.

Hus... Husband, can I lean against you?

As you wish.

Jia Mengluo gently rested her head on Jiang Che's shoulder, an inexplicable sense of happiness welling up in her heart. She was actually going to be a mother again?

And her heart was even more excited now than when she was pregnant with Ling'er. Giving birth to Ling'er was to continue the Blue Clan's royal lineage, something every Blue Empress had to do. It could be considered a task.

But now... the baby in her womb existed out of love, not as a task!

Achoo!

Jia Ling'er, who was playing mahjong with a few little mermaids of the Blue Clan, suddenly sneezed.

Strange, who is talking about me? Jia Ling'er furrowed her delicate brows. She felt a bit flustered for some reason.

Sister Ling'er, hurry up and play your tile, urged Xue'er, a little mermaid. Her pregnancy luck was quite good; among all the sisters in the Blue Clan, she was the only one who hit the jackpot on the first try.

This made her extremely happy. If she gave birth to a cute precious daughter, her status in their husband's heart would definitely become much stronger.

Oh... oh! Jia Ling'er snapped back to reality.

Her own pregnancy luck was terribly bad, which made her feel a bit annoyed.

She secretly glanced at Xue'er, afraid that her sister would fall out of favor, yet also afraid that her sister was carrying the dragon seed!

How frustrating!

Princess Ling'er, aren't you the daughter of the Empress? Why don't you try persuading the Empress? Based on my understanding of Jiang Che... he should be quite...

Jia Ling'er was speechless.

This idea had indeed crossed her mind, and she even suspected that Jiang Che had already put it into action. After all, she understood his personality all too well by now.

However, despite all her careful calculations, she still failed to foresee one thing... Empress Jialan had beaten her to the punch and was already pregnant with Jiang Che's child.
