- Homer (Homer, the blind poet of ancient Greece)

Just when the entire Augustan Empire was busy with this matter, Oscar suddenly learned the news that Cleopatra was pregnant a month after he and Cleopatra spent a night**; Originally, it was just Cleopatra who vomited after eating, and everyone thought that Cleopatra was sick, so they found her a doctor with great medical skills.

As a result, after the doctor made a little diagnosis for Cleopatra, he found out that Cleopatra was pregnant, and it was not a big deal for Cleopatra to be pregnant, after all, she was not Oscar's wife, and whether she was pregnant or not had nothing to do with the Augustan Empire; At this point, Prisca didn't know about Oscar's agreement with Cleopatra, nor did she know that the two of them had one time.

Prisca thought that the child Cleopatra was carrying was only what she had brought from the kingdom of Egypt, and did not think anything else; Instead of returning to the palace that night to dine with Prisca and Mary, Oscar discussed with Vipsani and other important officials in the Imperial Diet to discuss the specific plan of the expedition to the Kingdom of Egypt.

When Mary learned the news of Cleopatra's pregnancy from Prisca, she was immediately stunned; You must know that the current Mary is the chief of staff of the Augustan Empire, and she naturally knows the agreement between Oscar and Cleopatra, and even Mary knows about Oscar and Cleopatra's affair overnight.

The crux of the matter is that Oscar's inability to have children is already known to almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Augustan Empire; If it weren't for the importance of this matter, no one would dare to talk too much, I'm afraid everyone in the entire Augustan Empire would know about it.

Even so, the other Roman empires that were hostile to the Augustan Empire did not fail to mock Oscar and the Augustan Empire with this matter; In other words, Oscar's affair in this regard was a very taboo topic among the upper echelons of the entire Augustan Empire, and even Prisca and Mary would not mention it in front of Oscar.

Now it is no joke that Cleopatra, the heir of the pharaoh from the Kingdom of Egypt, is pregnant after a one-night affair with Oscar; Mary immediately asked Dr. Prisca how long it had been since she diagnosed Cleopatra as pregnant, and when Prisca said it for about a month, Mary's face changed on the spot.

Mary's heart is not jealous of Cleopatra's pregnancy for Oscar, but she suspects that this matter has been a trap for the Augustan Empire and Oscar himself from the beginning to the end; If Oscar hadn't had a problem with this, perhaps Cleopatra would have turned her own child into the pharaoh of the Kingdom of Egypt and the emperor of the Augustan Empire.

If such a thing happens, it is really unclear whether the Augustan Empire peacefully annexed the Kingdom of Egypt, or the Kingdom of Egypt peacefully annexed the Augustan Empire; Mary's face changed so much that Prisca sensed that something was wrong, and she immediately asked Mary what had happened, if there was something unusual about Cleopatra's pregnancy.

Prisca is not an outsider, and Mary naturally would not hide Prisca from such a big matter; After retiring all the maids and servants present, Mary told Prisca everything about Oscar and Cleopatra, and even Mary did not hide it from Prisca even about her own speculation.

After listening to Mary's speculation, Prisca also gasped; If Mary's speculation is true, then this Cleopatra's plot is really not small. Compared with Mary, Prisca, the young lady of the Maxentius family, who grew up in the circle of Roman aristocracy, naturally understood the horror of these intrigues; The two immediately decided to expose Cleopatra's conspiracy!

In order to avoid provoking Oscar as much as possible, Prisca and Mary strictly ordered no one in the palace to reveal Cleopatra's pregnancy; After that, the two of them took dozens of guards to Cleopatra's residence in the palace, and after retiring all the servants, the two directly questioned Cleopatra about the plot.

Faced with Prisca and Mary's questioning, Cleopatra didn't understand what the two of them meant; After Mary and Prisca finished speaking, Cleopatra insisted that the child in her belly was Oscar.

Cleopatra's hard-mouthed mouth was entirely in the imagination of Prisca and Mary, after all, if Cleopatra dared to admit it, no matter what her identity was, she would not be able to make the palace of the Augustan Empire alive; However, if Cleopatra didn't admit it, Prisca and Mary couldn't really kill her, so the matter was suppressed.

It turns out that paper can't contain fire after all; The news of Cleopatra's pregnancy eventually caused a storm in the city, and the entire ancient city of Syra learned about Cleopatra's pregnancy from the grapevine that came from nowhere. What makes people even more interested in this matter is that this Cleopatra who doesn't know where he came from actually insisted that the child was Oscar!

Is there anything more interesting for the citizens of the ancient city of Syra to talk about the scandal of His Majesty the Emperor after dinner? Even the ordinary people in the ancient city of Syra know about this, can Oscar, as the emperor of the Augustan Empire, not know?

When Oscar learned about this in the report of the tragic dead, he tore down the table in the Imperial Conference Room on the spot, and the officials who were discussing the issue of food and grass with Oscar were so frightened that they did not even dare to speak; Instead of blaming Mary and Prisca for the conspiracy, the furious Oscar is angry that he almost fell into Cleopatra's trap.

Oscar can tolerate the fact that he can't have children, and if it's a big deal, he will take a child from the Tuka or Rakqa children of the Augustan family, which is also the blood of the Augustan family anyway; As for Mary and Prisca, Oscar can only feel sorry, after all, he has caused them not to be a great mother in their lives.

Now that someone is conspiring in this regard, this is something that Oscar cannot accept; Enraged, Oscar left the Imperial Council building with Nusis and galloped all the way in the direction of the palace.

Oscar, who returned to the palace, went straight to the place where Cleopatra lived; When Oscar saw that Cleopatra was eating fruit, he pulled out the short sword from his waist and put it on Cleopatra's neck, suppressed his anger and said coldly:

"Say, whose child is in your womb? You only have one chance, and if you get it wrong, you'll die! ”

Cleopatra was not afraid of Oscar's short sword around her neck at all, but just stood up with her head held high, looked at Oscar's eyes and said stubbornly:

"You can kill me now, but you can't change the fact that the child in my womb is you; Even if I die, you're not the only one who killed me, you killed your own children with your own hands! Also, have you forgotten what happened that night? You're my first and only man! ”

I have to admit that Cleopatra's words are still very lethal, judging from Oscar's experience that night, Cleopatra is indeed a virgin; However, using a film to prove whether she is a virgin or not is ridiculous for Oscar, a person who has lived in modern society for more than 20 years, after all, there are too many ways to fake it.

What's more, Oscar really doesn't believe that he and Prisca and the other three daughters have no children for five years, could it be that they and Cleopatra have children overnight? Could it be that there is a problem with Oscar at all, but that there is a problem with the three daughters such as Prisca?

Oscar, who had been destroyed by anger, finally became hesitant after Cleopatra said such a thing; At this moment, Prisca and Mary also trotted all the way to Cleopatra's residence, and saw Oscar holding a short sword on Cleopatra's neck, Mary rushed up and snatched the short sword from Oscar's hand.

Without waiting for Oscar to react, Mary dragged Oscar directly out the door, while Prisca put her hands on Cleopatra's shoulders and asked her to sit down again; After Mary dragged Oscar out of the door, she said angrily:

"Oscar, are you crazy? Cleopatra has your child in her belly, and maybe even your eldest son, so are you going to kill your child just like that? ”

When Mary angrily scolded Oscar, she forgot how she had confronted Cleopatra with Prisca the other day, and she had forgotten her anger when she learned about it; However, Oscar doesn't care about Mary's tone, he cares about how Mary knows that Cleopatra's child is his own?

Oscar looked at Mary with his puzzled eyes, but Mary pretended to cough, and then said with a ruddy face:

"What, don't ask me how I know, it's that Sister Prisca felt unwell today, so I found a doctor to diagnose Sister Prisca; As a result, Sister Prisca became pregnant as well. After diagnosing Sister Priska, the doctor showed me and Mingyue again; In short, Oscar, you have to be a father of many children. ”

Sometimes happiness comes too suddenly and it's a burden, and Oscar suddenly has an unrealistic feeling; Nima, when there were no children, there was no one, and now there are four children at one time, it seems that God still treats me well! Suddenly, Oscar stood there and looked up at the sky and laughed, and the guards on the side of the laughing were puzzled. (To be continued.) )
