The scene that unfolded in front of the Red Sleeve Pavilion tonight had a significant visual impact on Zhao Cheng and his group, not to mention the influence it had on Wang Yucen.

After Zhao Cheng escorted Wang Yucen back to her room, he comforted her, but she was still not in a good mood. Zhao Cheng had no choice but to hold her hand and lean against the headboard to watch over her as she slept.

"Ah! No!!"

Wang Yucen had barely closed her eyes when she woke up with a start.

Zhao Cheng clearly felt Wang Yucen tighten her grip on his hand and stare at him with wide eyes.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare."

Wang Yucen's chest heaved as she murmured, "This is terrifying."

Seeing the little girl's still-shaken look, Zhao Cheng asked curiously, "What nightmare did you have?"

"I dreamt I was eating dog poop!"

Wang Yucen said with a look of fear, "It's a large mixed-breed dog!"

Zhao Cheng: "..."

De.

This hurdle is insurmountable.

Zhao Cheng comforted him, saying, "Dreams are often the opposite of reality; you're not the one eating dog poop."

Wang Yucen looked out the window with sympathy and said, "Even your dreams are so terrifying, Brother Chengdu must be suffering a lot..."

Zhao Cheng said, "You pleaded for him, so I didn't really intend to let him eat it, but I didn't expect him to be so fast. He pounced on it in a flash. You saw it, there was no way to stop him."

Wang Yucen said, "His father is a mid-level physician. If his father finds out that his son ate dog shit in Yanchuan..."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't worry too much," Zhao Cheng comforted him. "Perhaps Lord Du Yu is a pragmatic person and doesn't care about these things?"

Wang Yucen kept her head down, still looking depressed.

It was already quite late, and it wasn't appropriate for Zhao Cheng to stay there any longer. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "I'll go and call Xia Qi and Qiu Shu over for you, so they can keep you company for a while, okay?"

Wang Yucen nodded and said, "Is it alright for them to sleep here?"

"OK."

Zhao Cheng pushed open the door and went out. He had only taken two steps when A Tao came out from behind the tree and said, "Prince Consort, His Highness wants you to go back to your room tonight."

Zhao Cheng paused for a moment, then nodded.

Because of Yuan Yun's special circumstances, Zhao Cheng hasn't slept in his and Yuan Yun's room since he came back this time.

As soon as Zhao Cheng entered the room, a faint milky scent wafted into his nostrils.

Atao closed the door from the outside. Zhao Cheng walked to the bedside and asked, "Where's Changli?"

Yuan Yun, wearing undergarments, lay on her side on the bed and said, "The child cries every night for the past two days, and only sleeps when Xi is with him."

Zhao Cheng sat down on the bed and said, "It's really strange, how come our child is so close to Youxi?"

Yuan Yun said, "It really is true. You're pregnant, but you still don't have milk. If you were pregnant, Changli probably wouldn't eat from me anymore."

"This brat, if he won't eat, I will!" Zhao Cheng burrowed into Yuan Yun's chest.

Yuan Yun stuck her foot into Zhao Cheng's abdomen and said, "You're filthy, take off your clothes!"

"Wait a minute..." Yuan Yun covered her nose and asked suspiciously, "What's that smell on you?"

Zhao Cheng stood by the bed and said, "Would you believe me if I said I fell into a cesspool?"

Yuan Yun called out, "Atao, prepare hot water, the prince consort wants to take a bath!"

"yes!"

Zhao Cheng exclaimed in surprise, "You really believe that?"

Yuan Yun frowned and said, "Do I need to believe that? You clearly smell like shit!"

"Actually, I didn't fall into a cesspool. Let me explain in detail where this smell comes from."

"I don't want to hear it, get out and wash yourself!"

Zhao Cheng left dejectedly, never expecting to be disliked.

He lifted his sleeve and smelled it, and immediately felt disgusted with himself...

After rubbing off a layer of skin in the wooden tub, Zhao Cheng regained his confidence and went to Yuan Yun's bed.

Just as the two were preparing for a long-awaited in-depth discussion, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but ask, "You... don't need to rest anymore?"

Yuan Yun said, "I'm out of confinement now, it's nothing."

Zhao Cheng said, "Your health comes first, you don't need to take care of me..."

Yuan Yun immediately interrupted, pulling Zhao Cheng into her arms and saying, "What are you thinking? Don't I have any needs?"

Zhao Cheng thought about it and realized that made sense, so he immediately launched a counterattack and pinned Yuan Yun down.

"My dear wife, you've worked so hard to give birth to this little rascal. Tonight, even if I'm exhausted, I'll repay you for breastfeeding me!"

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

The two had a deep discussion that lasted until late at night, commenting on each other's current situations, offering advice on their difficulties, and expressing their hopes for the future. Before they knew it, dawn was almost breaking.

"I heard from Zhou Nuo that you're trying to matchmake Lao Si and Wang Yucen?" Yuan Yun suddenly asked.

Zhao Cheng put his arm around Yuan Yun, letting her lie comfortably in his arms, and said, "That's what I mean."

Yuan Yun said, "I thought you were going to take her in yourself."

Zhao Cheng pouted and said, "I have enough of you guys. You're exhausted as soon as you get home. I don't need any more new people."

Yuan Yun snorted and said, "Why do I feel like you're enjoying this so much? The first person you went to after you got back was Chen Feier, wasn't it?"

"Hehe...she's my woman too, I haven't been messing around outside."

"Heh, men."

"There aren't many men like your brother."

Yuan Yun frowned slightly, lifted her head from Zhao Cheng's arms, and said sternly, "You are not allowed to laugh at him."

Zhao Cheng softened his tone and said, "I didn't mean to mock him, we were just chatting..."

Yuan Yun said, "You know, his current state is related to his past experiences; he doesn't trust women. But whatever choice he makes, I will respect him."

“I understand!” Zhao Cheng nodded solemnly, then said, “The news I received today is that he has already established an empress, and the imperial court’s announcement should reach Yanchuan in a couple of days.”
