The Third Princess Consort told Tong Cheng'er a lot about what had happened in the capital recently, mostly gossip from the inner quarters, which Tong Cheng'er listened to with great interest.

Since Yinzhen wouldn't be back for lunch, Tong Cheng'er invited her to stay for a meal.

The Third Princess Consort didn't return until evening.

As soon as the Third Prince's wife left, the nanny who stayed at Yaocheng Courtyard told Tong Cheng'er some things about the Third Prince's residence, things that the Third Prince's wife could not possibly tell.

Tong Cheng'er was stunned.

"It seems she has really come to terms with it."

Even after becoming pregnant, she remained indifferent to the Third Prince, which meant she had let go of him.

After the Third Princess Consort returned home, she happened to run into the Imperial Physician at the door.

"This servant greets the Third Princess Consort."

The Third Princess Consort said cheerfully, "Get up. What brings Physician Zhang to the manor? Is one of the younger sisters in the inner courtyard pregnant?"

Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head: "This servant will come and take the Third Prince's pulse."

The Third Prince's wife was taken aback upon hearing this, and then asked, "Oh, what's wrong, Master?"

Physician Zhang remained silent upon hearing this, his expression somewhat troubled.

The Third Prince's wife became interested. Could it be that he really had some kind of unspeakable ailment?

"Imperial Physician Zhang, I am the Third Prince's wife. Is there anything about our master that I cannot know? Just tell me, and he will not blame me."

Seeing the Third Prince's wife's demeanor, Imperial Physician Zhang realized he wouldn't be able to leave without speaking up, so he stammered, "The Third Prince has fainted. After examining his pulse, I learned that the Third Prince is... is..."

The Third Princess raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

"It's due to excessive indulgence."

Third Prince's Wife: ...

The reason is really... I don't know how to put it.

After dismissing the imperial physician, the Third Princess Consort went directly to her own courtyard. As for the Third Prince, who was indulging in excessive sexual activity, she didn't care!
