The royal carriage walked towards her steadily.

Princess Gong quickly straightened her appearance and retreated to the wall. "I pay my respects to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with good health."

"Princess, please excuse me." Zhao Yuancheng smiled at her gently. "Why are you in the harem?"

Princess Gong bowed her head and said respectfully, "I heard that the Empress was unwell, so I came to pay my respects."

Zhao Yuancheng hummed a sound and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness. My eleventh brother just sent me a letter. I estimate he will be back around lunchtime. You can go back and wait."

Princess Gong smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me. I will take my leave now."

After they walked a little further, the maid whispered, "There's talk outside the palace that the Empress has fallen out of favor. Now it seems the rumors may be true. Otherwise, why would the Emperor be so anxious to appoint an Imperial Noble Consort and have Noble Consort Yi assist in managing the six palaces?"

Princess Gong's face was gloomy. She ordered, "Shut up! This is a forbidden area in the Imperial Palace. You are not allowed to speak nonsense."

The maidservant said embarrassedly, "Yes, I know I was wrong."

Princess Gong took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the palace gate. She softly instructed, "The prince is back. Go back and ask the kitchen to prepare some fine meals."

The maid smiled: "Yes."

"By the way, the prince likes to eat the cherry cakes from Mixiangju. When we leave the palace later, we can buy some to take back."

"A short absence is better than a new marriage. The prince has been gone for ten days or so. The princess must be thinking of harming him."

Princess Gong's cheeks gradually turned red, and she said angrily, "You little girl, you are becoming more and more slick-tongued now."

After returning to Prince Gong's Mansion, Princess Gong dressed up.

She waited quietly at the door, but as the sun gradually set in the west, and Zhao Yuanyu was nowhere to be seen, she couldn't help but anxiously order the servant in the mansion: "Go to the front and ask if the prince has entered the city."

"yes."

The servant left in a hurry, and when he returned half a cup of tea had passed. "Your Highness, I just asked the guards guarding the city, and they said that the prince had already entered the capital at noon and has already gone to the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Princess Gong's face suddenly darkened.

Needless to say, Fu Qianyin entered the palace and lived in Ci'an Palace. Zhao Yuanyu did not enter the house, so he must have gone to see her.

The maid cautiously observed her master's expression and advised, "Master, don't be sad. When the prince returns from his patrol, he will naturally go to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor first."

Princess Gong took a deep breath and glanced at the pastries on the table, feeling the irony.

With a raised hand, all the cakes were knocked to the ground...

When the emperor entered Huayang Palace, Fu Qianyu was sitting next to the cradle and playing with the two children.

A newborn baby really changes every day. At first he looked like a monkey, but now two months later, his eyebrows and eyes have fully opened.

Peirong smiled and said, "From my perspective, the Third Prince looks like the Empress, while the Fourth Prince resembles the Emperor. One is calm, the other is active. They don't look like twins at all."

Fu Qianyu's face was full of joy: "I think so too."

"What is it?"

Hearing the emperor's voice, Fu Qianyu hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Zhao Yuancheng held her steady: "You are not fully recovered yet, there is no need to salute."

Fu Qianyu smiled gently and repeated the conversation between the master and servant.

Zhao Yuancheng was in a good mood for a moment. He leaned over and stared at his two sons in the cradle. "Yes, Heng'er looks like you in his eyebrows and eyes."

Fu Qianyu smiled proudly, "He looks like me. When he grows up, I wonder how many girls he will charm. But it will be difficult to be the second one."

Zhao Yuancheng understood the meaning behind Fu Qianyu's words and narrowed his eyes. "You mean, I'm ugly?"

Fu Qianyu nestled in Zhao Yuancheng's arms and acted coquettishly, "Your Majesty is a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, otherwise how could I have fallen in love with you at first sight that day."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhao Yuancheng snorted proudly: "That's more like it."

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, a rare moment of leisure, so Zhao Yuancheng stayed in Huayang Palace all afternoon, and only left for Zichen Palace in the evening.

The eve of dinner.

Qin Zhaochuan came to check on Ping'an's pulse.

"The remaining toxins in your Majesty's body have been cleared. Starting tomorrow, you will no longer need to drink detoxifying soups. You can just eat some medicinal food to nourish your body."

Fu Qianyu withdrew her hand and smiled slightly, "If the imperial physician hadn't sent me the antidote pills in advance, I might have been in Yama Palace long ago."

Qin Zhaochuan bowed and said, "I am able to achieve what I have today thanks to the support of Your Majesty. I will never forget it."

When he first entered the palace, he was only a seventh-rank physician. Now, in just two months, Qin Zhaochuan has been promoted to the position of a fifth-rank chief clerk.

Fu Qianyu’s contribution was indispensable during this period.

"The palace is a dangerous place, and I feel more at ease with an imperial physician by my side. We are now in a state of shared prosperity and adversity. You just need to do your job well, and I will never treat you unfairly."

Qin Zhaochuan knelt down again, "Yes, I will follow your Majesty's lead and will never have any second thoughts."

"Get up."

"Thank you, my lady."

After Qin Zhaochuan stood up, he thought for a moment and finally expressed his doubts, "Your Majesty, I feel that there is something wrong with Concubine Wan's pregnancy."

Fu Qianyu frowned: "What's wrong?"

"On the day you were poisoned, Qingning Palace reported that Concubine Wan's pregnancy was disturbed and showed signs of miscarriage. However, yesterday, I saw the prescription for Concubine Wan's pregnancy, and it contained extra Cuscuta seeds and Tribulus terrestris. This changed the properties of the medicine. It is no longer a pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, but a pregnancy-maintaining medicine."

Fu Qianyu's eyes darkened slightly: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"Yes, I'm not mistaken."

Peirong sighed, "That's strange. Since Wanpin is already pregnant, why does she need to drink pregnancy-maintaining medicine? Could it be that the Imperial Hospital made a mistake?"
