Although the Second Prince only wanted to give his cousin and friend a beating to make amends, it was just a thought. But he really didn't want to go to Xie Zixin's courtyard at this moment.

In the end, the second prince had no choice but to turn around and go to the courtyard of his wife Duan Jianing.

Duan Jianing had anticipated the Second Prince's arrival and had been prepared for it. So when the Second Prince arrived, he saw a tranquil scene of a beautiful woman reading by the window. In the Second Prince's eyes, even her fluttering hairband was beautiful.

The second prince stopped those around him from informing others and walked straight to the opposite side of Duan Jianing and sat down quietly.

Duan Jianing actually noticed the second prince, but she pretended not to notice and continued reading seriously.

The Second Prince held a cup of tea and watched Duan Jianing reading. The Second Prince, who had been feeling irritated for a moment, suddenly felt his heart gradually calm down.

Duan Jianing had only intended to pretend for a while, but the Second Prince actually liked this state, so she had no choice but to really start reading the contents of the book. After she really got into it, Duan Jianing didn't feel that time was passing slowly.

Finally, Duan Jianing could no longer sit still, so she put the book down and pretended to have just noticed the Second Prince coming. "When did His Highness arrive?"

As Duan Jianing was about to stand up and salute, the Second Prince grabbed her hand and said, "Your Highness has already said that Ning'er doesn't need to be so polite in front of Your Highness."

"Okay, I'll listen to Your Highness." It didn't matter whether Duan Jianing took this seriously or not. What mattered was that she had to adopt an obedient attitude.

The Second Prince was satisfied and pulled Duan Jianing to sit on the chair beside him, praising her: "Ning'er is really sensible."

Duan Jianing knew the Second Prince was angry with his 'true love', but she couldn't respond. Slandering another woman directly in front of a man was simply the lowest form of behavior.

She is the most magnanimous and understanding queen, and she cannot do something that is beneath her status.

Duan Jianing then took the tea set on the table and began to make tea herself. After she was done, she poured a cup for the Second Prince. "The Queen Mother sent someone to bring me some new tea a few days ago. Your Highness, would you like to try it?"

The Second Prince took a sip and immediately praised, "Not bad, good tea! But Ning'er's cooking is even better."

At this time, Fuling came from outside and reported, "Your Highness, Princess Consort, Concubine Xie's people are kneeling outside and saying that Concubine Xie has fainted. Your Highness, please go and take a look."

The Second Prince... "If you faint, please call a doctor. This prince can't treat illnesses."

The second prince has made up his mind to ignore Xie Zixin for a while, and he is also good at using the tactic of playing hard to get.

He wanted Xie Zixin to regard him as her only life-saving straw.

After a while, Fuling outside came back to report, "Your Highness, the people from Concubine Xie's side reported that the doctor said Concubine Xie is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than a month."

"What, you're pregnant?" The second prince stood up instantly in surprise, and he didn't even notice that the tea in his hand had spilled.

Duan Jianing heard Fuling's words and realized that Concubine Xie dared to do this because she was fearless. She had a talisman in her stomach.

When Duan Jianing saw the prince's appearance, she knew that Xie Zixin's crisis was over.

So Duan Jianing immediately stood up and saluted, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on the birth of your precious son."

Although the Second Prince was very happy at this moment, he had not yet lost his mind. He said to Duan Jianing, "Your Highness is still looking forward to having a child with Ning'er."

Duan Jianing nodded pretending to be happy. "I know how Your Highness feels about me. Your Highness should go see Sister Xie first! I've heard that pregnant women are more fragile and sensitive. Sister Xie will definitely be happy to have you here."

In fact, when the Second Prince heard that Xie Zixin was pregnant, he immediately wanted to go and see her. At this moment, Duan Jianing gave way to the steps, and the Second Prince went down the steps, "Then Your Highness, I will go and see her first. I will come down to have dinner with you tonight."

Duan Jianing smiled and agreed, pretending to be reluctant to see the Second Prince out of the main courtyard. As soon as the Second Prince left, Duan Jianing sent someone to deliver a message to Zhou Qiongyue.

When the Second Prince arrived at Xie Zixin's courtyard, Xie Zixin was throwing things in the house. The servants had been gone for so long and hadn't invited the Second Prince, so Xie Zixin thought the Second Prince wouldn't come, so she dared to lose her temper so unscrupulously.

The Second Prince looked at the mess in the room, and his joy at hearing that there was a child disappeared in an instant.

He asked sternly with a stern face: "What are you doing?"

Although Xie Zixin was surprised that the Second Prince came, she did not feel guilty. Instead, she put down the vase in her hand and sat down alone at the side of the main seat angrily.

From an angry madman to a little white flower crying alone in grievance, all it takes is the arrival of the Second Prince.

The Second Prince also had a sullen expression on his face. He walked to the other side of the main seat and sat down. "What are you doing? Didn't you say you were pregnant? Why are you making such a fuss instead of taking good care of her?"

Xie Zixin looked at the Second Prince pitifully and complained, "If I hadn't been pregnant, would Your Highness not have come back at all?"

Xie Zixin didn't understand what was wrong with her. When she was the queen in her previous life, she was not like she is now. She couldn't control her temper and was not as anxious as she is now.

When she was the queen in her previous life, everyone praised her for being dignified and virtuous.

She also knew that her current behavior was the same as that of the concubine she hated the most in the past, but she just couldn't help feeling wronged.

She had been feeling aggrieved ever since she lost her position as the principal wife. Now, every time she paid her respects to that bitch Duan Jianing, she felt even angrier.

Although the Second Prince valued the child in Xie Zixin's belly, he didn't want Xie Zixin to see it. So his hands subconsciously tapped on the table, "What else? Do you want me to remind Concubine Xie, how serious your crime is?"

Xie Zixin now thought she had a protective amulet, so she spoke even more recklessly and without thinking. She stood up and pointed at the Second Prince and began to refute:

"What's the big deal? You're just trying to get your beloved cousin's husband. Besides, that idiot Yuan Bohua is still alive."

In Xie Zixin's opinion, Yuan Bohua was a fool. She had already warned him that Zhou Qiongyue marrying him was only a second-best option.

But he still happily married her and held that bitch in the palm of his hand. He deserved this disaster.

As for the other victims and minor officials who died, she didn't even care. It was their honor to die for her, the future mother of a country.

When the second prince heard Xie Zixin's words, he was shocked and looked at the servants around him with sharp eyes.
