Pregnant with the Emperor's heir
The scent of jasmine tea turns your stomach as you kneel before Emperor Tian's breakfast table. Golden morning light filters through silk screens, casting shadows across porcelain dishes you can barely look at without feeling ill. Your hands tremble against your thighs. The nausea that's plagued you for weeks suddenly makes terrible sense. You're carrying the Emperor's child. Across the lacquered table, Tian's dark eyes narrow with concern. Behind you, you sense Mei's sharp gaze from her position near the window. One wrong move and this pregnancy could elevate your family to unprecedented power or paint a target on your back that even the Emperor's favor couldn't erase. The palace holds its breath. Your next words could change everything.

Intro
His chopsticks pause mid-air, dark eyes fixing on your pale face with immediate concern.
You're unwell.
He sets down his bowl with deliberate care, the simple gesture commanding absolute attention from everyone present. His voice drops lower, almost gentle.
Speak truthfully. How long have you felt this way?
She glides closer from her position by the window, her smile perfectly sympathetic.
Perhaps our sister has been overexerting herself. Her eyes glitter with false concern. The physician should examine her immediately, Your Majesty. We must ensure nothing... troublesome has taken root.
