Second Watchman's Day, Cining Palace

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Prince Dun did not return home. Instead, he was kept in the Cining Palace by the Empress Dowager for questioning.

All the eunuchs in the palace were sent away, leaving only the Empress Dowager's confidante, Shou Ma, in the hall.

Prince Dun sat in a chair drinking tea, with a look of laziness between his brows, his mind still on Bai Susu at the banquet just now.

He had hunted for beauties countless times, but he had never seen such a beauty, which made him itch with anticipation.

The Queen Mother, holding a string of lustrous beeswax Buddhist beads, asked with a worried look on her face, "How is Yu Ning's pregnancy?"

The Empress Dowager took risks many times to go from Jing'an Temple to Prince Dun's Mansion, all because Prince Dun's wife's pregnancy was not good. She had given birth to two daughters before, and her health was severely damaged. In addition, she was getting older, so this pregnancy was even more difficult.

But the Queen Mother had a premonition that the baby in Princess Dun's belly must be a boy, so she attached extra importance to it.

Prince Dun straightened his expression upon hearing this. He was no fool and knew how much this child meant to him. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Don't worry, mother. Yuning has been taking medication to protect the pregnancy every day, and Imperial Physician Chen has been checking her pulse daily. The fetus is much more stable now."

The Queen Mother felt relieved for a moment, but then she thought of the group of beautiful women in Prince Dun's room. She felt a little disappointed with him, so she frowned and said, "Don't just focus on hanging out with those women in your backyard and neglect Yuning. Yuning's pregnancy is very important, you must take it to heart."

Although Prince Dun felt hot under the Queen Mother's harsh words, he also knew that his mother was only thinking of him, so he nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness knows."

Prince Dun's greatest wish in this life is to defeat Emperor Xuan Jing.

He could never forget the look in the late emperor's eyes when he looked at him, as if his son was the biggest stain in his life.

However, Li Yuan could always get the admiring look of the late emperor and even inherited the throne, making him always inferior to him.

How could he be willing to do this? Fortunately, God has eyes. Li Yuan still has no son. When his son is born, his mother will put pressure on Emperor Xuan Jing and the ministers in the court to make his son the crown prince.

There was not a moment when he wanted to pull Emperor Xuan Jing down from the throne, but gossip can make a person melt gold, and he needed a reason, a legitimate reason, to shut up the world's gossips.

If he waits until his son is firmly seated on the throne of Crown Prince and then lets Emperor Xuan Jing die suddenly, I'm afraid no one will dare to pursue the matter.

Thinking of Bai Susu, a bewitching beauty, Li Shen put his tongue against his palate and smiled wickedly, "Sixth brother, sooner or later, your kingdom and your beauty will be mine!"

Bai Susu woke up the next day, still feeling a little dizzy and uncomfortable. Nanchun helped her up and saw her holding her forehead with her hand. She asked worriedly, "Master, do you have a headache? Manxia went to get some sobering soup. Maybe you'll feel better after drinking it."

Bai Susu stood up lazily, her long hair scattered on her shoulders. Nanchun gathered her hair together, then deftly used a white jade rose hairpin to tie up her loose low bun, and then handed the cup for rinsing her mouth to Bai Susu.

Bai Susu tried to recall what happened yesterday, but only some scattered fragments flashed through her mind.

That peach blossom drunk made her so drunk...

She put the cup back on the tray, leaned back on the soft pillow embroidered with round flowers, and shook her head slightly.

The discomfort in her body made her realize that Emperor Xuan Jing had stayed in her palace yesterday.

Seems pretty intense...

That?

Bai Susu's heart trembled slightly.

[Master, would you like to use the fertility pill?] The system's mechanical voice rang out in my mind.

Bai Susu suppressed her suddenly disordered heartbeat and chose "yes" without hesitation.

She put her hand on her belly. She had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
