If the Empress is truly falsely pregnant, the Imperial Physician who knows such a big secret would surely be dead long ago.
The fewer people who know about this matter, the safer it is.
Su Jin went to investigate, also to indirectly verify whether what the palace maid said was true.
She still couldn't believe her own father would be so negligent.
A false pregnancy, hidden for ten months without discovery, is too far-fetched.
However, frequent visits to the palace are bound to arouse suspicion, so Su Jin spent the morning in the small kitchen making pastries.
She packed the pastries in a food box and went to the palace to deliver them to the Emperor.
Hmm.
Su Jin merely used the pastry delivery as a pretext, but it moved the Emperor deeply.
Even though the pastries didn't look that good, and were even a bit ugly, and tasted inferior to those from the Imperial Kitchen by several streets, they were still the most fragrant pastries the Emperor had ever eaten.
