The emperor thought that the prince understood what he meant, but the time was not right yet, so he waved his hand and let him go.

As for the business that the emperor and the prince were worried about, there were no accidents at all.

The main reason is that Zhou Qiongyue was so tough this time, and those who had ideas before now have no ideas anymore.

He had beaten a fifth-rank official to death, and the punishment was only six months of house arrest and a salary fine. For people of their class, who really lived on that little salary?

So from the outside, this punishment is almost equivalent to no punishment.

For a moment, those who had been thinking of using underhanded tactics to steal business suddenly stopped. Even now, no one dared to cause trouble in "Renjian Yanhuo".

Even those dandies who hung out at Manyuan'an had been severely warned by their families. Every time they went to the hustle and bustle of the world, they would just quietly drink tea and listen to storytellers, and occasionally drink a little wine, but they didn't dare to drink too much.

If they get drunk and lose control and cause trouble, they are afraid that their families will break their legs. Princess Fu'an even dares to deal with the imperial edict of the fifth rank. It is easy for her to deal with these playboys!

The order of life was so good that it could not be any better. It became the safest teahouse in Yuan'an, and more ladies and ladies came there.

Many people ask for a private room on the second floor, where they can spend the entire morning leisurely listening to storytelling and drinking tea.

It is a place where many young ladies and ladies spend their time, and as long as you like something in the world and can afford it, you can take it back.

This leads to many people taking a few small things they like with them when they leave.

There are also those who are generous enough to buy the entire private room's furnishings and layout. It can be said that the business of Renjian Yanhuo is even more prosperous than before.

This is also the reason why Zhou Qiongyue can truly feel at ease confining herself to the mansion for half a year.

During the time Zhou Qiongyue was still under house arrest in the mansion, Xie Zixin finally gave birth.

As soon as Xie Zixin made the move, Crown Prince Li Jingchen and Queen Duan Jianing were waiting outside.

Duan Jianing knew that Xie Zixin was on guard against her, so she did not interfere in anything the whole time. She just went out to accompany the prince and wait.

It would not work if she, as the queen, was not there at this time.

Xie Zixin was also very happy. The son she had been longing for was finally going to be born. In the future, she would have a son by her side. Now that His Highness was already the Crown Prince, the world would eventually belong to them and their son.

By then, Duan Jianing, Zhou Qiongyue, and all those who bullied her and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will have to live by her wishes.

With this in mind, Xie Zixin was no longer afraid of the pain of childbirth and could even be said to be very cooperative.

God was kind to Xie Zixin. The birth of this child went smoothly and the baby came out soon.

"Congratulations, Lady Liang, it's a son." Although the four midwives said congratulations, the smiles on their faces were very forced.

Even the midwife holding the baby was still shaking slightly.

Xie Zixin, lying on the bed, did not notice anything unusual about the midwife. She was still immersed in the joy of giving birth to a son.

"Hurry up and bring him here so I can see him!" After giving the order, Xie Zixin was about to sit up with her head supported. It was only after the senior palace maid beside her persuaded her that she finally sat up.

The midwife holding the baby could only carry the child over. Because the child was wrapped in a quilt, Xie Zixin did not see that the child had one foot missing.

"My dear son." Xie Zixin looked at the child in the midwife's arms. She felt very happy at this moment. She felt that she must protect him for the rest of her life.

Xie Zixin tried hard to recall what her son looked like when he was born in her previous life, but she couldn't remember it after a long time.

"Reward, reward them all!" At this moment, Xie Zixin felt that God finally stood on her side for once.

The four midwives knelt down immediately. They were all very scared at this moment. If they didn't kneel down, they would probably have no chance.

The midwife holding the child could only face Xie Liangdi's happy gaze and said tremblingly, "Reply Liangdi, the young master has a leg disease."

Xie Zixin didn't believe it at all and immediately became furious. "You lowly slave, what did you say? How dare you curse my son?"

"Please forgive me, Concubine Liang! Please forgive me, Concubine Liang! Everything we said is true." Several people kowtowed continuously. Among them, the midwife who was holding the baby even carefully opened the quilt.

The people serving in the room also saw it. They all gasped and knelt on the ground.

Xie Zixin couldn't accept such a huge amount of sorrow and joy, and fainted from anger. Before fainting, she shouted, "This is not my son, this is not my son..."

In an instant, the delivery room was in chaos again. Everyone rushed to see Liang Di. The child was already in such a state. If something happened to Xie Liang Di again, the families of everyone in the room would be in danger.

The prince and Duan Jianing, who had been waiting outside the whole time, were also confused. They had heard the baby crying a long time ago, so why hadn't the baby been brought out yet?

Especially after a while, the voices of people calling "Xie Liangdi" were heard in the room, and the expressions on the faces of the prince and Duan Jianing were very anxious.

It’s just that the two of them were anxious for different reasons. The prince was thinking that Xie Zixin still had a lot of things to say, and he couldn’t just leave like that.

Duan Jianing thought to herself that if Xie Zixin passed away like this, she would at least erect a golden statue for the Buddha.

The prince was anxious to let the imperial physician in. After all, at the critical moment, he could not take care of the difference between men and women.

Fortunately, before the imperial physician entered the room, someone came out holding the child. As soon as they came out, they immediately knelt down and said, "We have failed the emperor's grace."

These midwives were all prepared by the emperor, so they were not wrong to say so.

With such a big scene, the prince thought the child hadn't survived! He just took half a step back and steadied himself.

The prince quickly asked about Xie Zixin's situation: "How is Xie Liangdi?"

"Your Highness, Consort Liang suffered a severe blow and fainted from heavy bleeding. However, the bleeding has stopped, but she will be weaker from now on.

It’s just that the young master has a leg disease.”

After the midwife holding the child reported, she quickly lifted the blanket to an angle so that the two masters could see the child's feet.

The Crown Prince and Duan Jianing were caught off guard by this scene, and it was quite a shock. Duan Jianing resisted the urge to retreat and took a step forward, tears welling up in her eyes. "How sad this child will be in the future!"

When the prince saw the queen like this, he reflected on himself. This was also his own child. How could he feel fear and disgust!

The look in his eyes when he looked at the wife was extremely gentle, "Ning'er is still kind!"

"Take good care of the child!" The prince couldn't bring himself to say such a thing as to have the child dealt with. After all, apart from the bad foot, the child looked healthy in other aspects.
