Its been almost a month, and the river embankment should be almost completed. Perhaps His Highness is already on his way back.

The Empress did not reply after hearing this. Instead, she said, Pick out two young and beautiful palace maids.

Mistress, this matter cant continue. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager

Just prepare it. It will be useful sooner or later.

Yes. After hearing this, Nanny Yu did not try to persuade her. After sending the Empress back to the palace, she began to search for beautiful palace maids.

After the Emperor learned of the Empresss foolish actions, his impression of her dropped again. It had even acc.u.mulated into disappointment.

If it werent for the fact that he couldnt easily get rid of her, he would have done so long ago.

However, Gu Chengrui had been married for more than four years and still had no children. He was concerned, and he was considering asking about it.

He called Xiao Heng in and asked him to pa.s.s on the message to his trusted aide in the southwest. He wanted to win over the morale of the Southwest Army as soon as possible.

On the other side, after returning to the mansion, Zhou Jiaying told King Kang about the dispute between Zhou Ying and the Empress, This Zhou Ying is really bold.

Even we didnt dare to contradict the Empress, but she did so regardless.

It cant be that theres really something wrong with her, and she became angry from embarra.s.sment after being exposed? King Kang asked thoughtfully.

If that were the case, he would know how to rope Gu Chengrui in.

I cant say for sure. Zhou Jiaying didnt make any unnecessary remarks after seeing that he had considered her words.

Your Highness, do you want to see Xin er?

Tonight. I still have some things to deal with. King Kang turned around and walked toward the study afterward.

Zhou Jiaying smiled, then turned around and went back to her courtyard.

After watching them from afar, Liu Ye, Hong Suzhis maid, commented unhappily, Mistress, this secondary consort is always pestering His Highness. Shes really shameless.

Who cares? My status still maintains. As long as my father doesnt fall, His Highness wont dare to neglect me. After Hong Suzhi finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the main courtyard.

She had seen the relations.h.i.+p between His Highness and Zhou Jiaying along the way and knew they were once a close couple.

However, she found this was not the case after entering the residence. At the very least, His Highness was not as infatuated with Zhou Jiaying as she had imagined.

Otherwise, he wouldnt have been so obedient and gentle to Hong Suzhi.

However, the more he acted like this, the more she dared not give him her heart. Otherwise, she would end up worse than Zhou Jiaying.

She had to remain rational. At the very least, she would not implicate her family.

Then, while King Kang was still patient with her, she had to bear a son as soon as possible to have a firm foothold in this residence.

After Sun Miaoke left the Seventh Princes residence, she didnt return directly to her place. Instead, she turned around and went to the Sun Familys residence to find a doctor to take her pulse.

She was really pregnant.

After sending off the doctor, Mother Sun smiled and said, Thats great. Otherwise, your status will be in danger if Gu Wanning gives birth to the eldest son.

Its just as dangerous now. Sun Miao replied nervously.

Whats going on? Are you talking about Gu Wanning Mother Sun wanted to say something but hesitated.

After spending time with her, Gu Wanning is a good person. She doesnt have any bad intentions. Sun Miaoke shook her head.

But its hard to say for the others.

At that point, she told her mother about how the Fourth Prince had sent someone into the residence to give her and Gu Wanning contraceptives. She added, Today, when everyone was happy about the news, only the Empress strangely looked at me.

I think it wont be easy to give birth to this child successfully..
