After a few days, the heavy snow was still falling.

Everything was calm inside and outside the palace.

For some reason, all the members of the royal family suddenly fell silent.

Those clan elders who used to preach by relying on their status as clan elders have now hidden at home and no longer show up.

Chu Yuening was stunned when she heard the news.

Weren’t these people jumping around happily before?

Not only did he give her advice in tears in the court, but he also passed messages to her from time to time.

The explicit and implicit meaning was to let her have more children. If she didn't want to, she should persuade His Majesty to take more concubines to expand the family.

He also used a high-sounding tone to advise her that as a queen she should be virtuous and not jealous.

Chu Yuening was furious at that time.

No matter how much she likes children, she doesn't want to be forced to have one.

As for sharing your husband with another woman, that is even more impossible.

Although she appears gentle and easy to talk to, she is actually very possessive in her bones. She will never let others touch anything that belongs to her.

She was so angry at that time that she almost went to find someone to argue with and let them see the profoundness of the Chinese quintessence.

But Chu Yuening had been the queen for so many years that she had finally learned to weigh the pros and cons.

Acting on impulse will never solve the problem.

So, she calmed down and came up with a plan.

He used the pretext of giving perfume to win over the ladies of the royal family and engaged in "lady diplomacy."

A man who eats someone's food is soft-hearted, and a man who takes someone's money is grateful.

After accepting her gift, I naturally have to persuade her.

Of course, the Queen Mother was not left out either.

It's not to win her over, it's simply to maintain the appearance of "loving mother and filial son".

After all, wouldn't it be criticized if gifts were given to distant clan elders but not to the mother-in-law?

Back to the point, since the royal family was not united, Chu Yuening wanted to muddy the waters.

Unexpectedly, A Zheng was a ruthless man who didn't say much and just drained the water directly.

Yes, she had already guessed that the current situation was A Zheng's masterpiece.

When she saw A Zheng's gloomy look a few days ago, she had a premonition that some people were about to be in big trouble.

(Ying Zheng:?)

Chu Yuening felt secretly happy as she imagined the miserable scenes of those people, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel curious.

I don’t know what cruel method Ah Zheng used to make them all claim to be sick and stay at home.

After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't guess it. She was too lazy to think anymore and simply went to find the culprit.

Well... this is what is called "When in doubt, ask A Zheng."

A moment later, Chu Yuening arrived at Zhangtai Palace.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, he found the heroic and majestic emperor sitting at the top, talking with several imperial physicians.

Her eyes flashed, she slowed down her pace, and listened quietly.

But because the distance was too far, I could only hear a few words sporadically.

"...a month later...flow..."

"...Morning sickness..."

What?! Morning sickness?!

Who's pregnant?! Whose baby is it?!

In an instant, it was like a bolt from the blue. Chu Yuening's breathing stopped and her mind went blank.

No matter how much one trusts one's husband, it is hard not to think of the worst outcome in this situation.

Just as her heart was aching, Ying Zheng keenly noticed that something was wrong with her.

In fact, he had already discovered this eavesdropping little fox, but he was only happy to indulge her and satisfy her little pleasure.

But I didn't expect her to suddenly turn pale and dazed, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

His heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.

He immediately waved away the imperial physicians, then strode towards the woman and picked her up as if she were a child.

He first touched her forehead to feel her body temperature, and only after finding it normal did he ask worriedly.

"Yuening, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

The deep and gentle male voice was extremely familiar, pulling Chu Yuening out of her terrible and desperate fantasy.

She grasped the man's face hurriedly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, staring straight into those phoenix eyes, her questioning voice cold and trembling.

"Whose child is it?"

"Um?"

Ying Zheng was confused. What child?

But staring at the red eyes of the person in his arms and recalling the scene just now, he immediately guessed that his little wife might have misunderstood something.

For a moment, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and explained helplessly.

"No children."

"...ah?"

Chu Yuening tilted her head and said blankly, the anger, sadness, and despair that were about to burst out from her heart... suddenly got stuck.

Bathed in the man's firm gaze, she regained some of her senses, but still asked with half-belief and half-doubt.

"What about the morning sickness you just mentioned? Isn't someone pregnant?"

"Someone is pregnant, but it's someone who bullied you."

Ying Zheng finished explaining in one breath. He really didn't want his young wife to misunderstand him anymore, and he was even more reluctant to let her drop the little pearl.

After learning that it was a false alarm, Chu Yuening breathed a sigh of relief, and her snow-white face regained its color.

But what followed was endless embarrassment.

Her ears felt hot, and her face flushed from cheeks to neck, and she was filled with shame and anger.

Then she buried her head in the man's chest like an ostrich, trying to escape the extremely embarrassing reality.

Ying Zheng looked at the tip of the ear which was as red as blood jade, smiled softly, and then consoled him in a gentle voice.

"Yuening, come out quickly. Don't hold it in. I won't laugh at you."

"You're lying, you just laughed."

He was answered with a mournful accusation.

Ying Zheng smiled helplessly and had to sit down with the person in his arms.
