He Zhu looked at the Crown Prince's clenched fists, veins bulging, as he suppressed his anger. He then secretly glanced at the others in the room. [Imperial Physician Wang, Madam Tongjia, and Madam Tongjia—these three people will probably disappear without a trace from now on!]

Given the Crown Prince's doting affection for his wife, she should be fine, but the others are a different story! They'll definitely be silenced by the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince was furious. "That quack Physician Liu! The contraceptive decoction didn't work! I must dismiss him!"

He Zhu could no longer bear to look at the Crown Prince; the more he looked at the Crown Prince, the more he felt that the Crown Prince was radiating a green light.

He Zhu suddenly felt a pang of unease. He had completely forgotten about himself. He knew about this too. In an instant, He Zhu had already figured out where to bury himself!

"He Zhu!" the Crown Prince called out again. [What's wrong with this He Zhu? If it weren't for the fact that he's been with me for so many years, I would have replaced him long ago!]

"Your Highness, what is it?" He Zhu asked, snapping out of his reverie.

"What are you thinking about?" the crown prince asked, displeased.

If I said I was happy for the Crown Prince, would he kill me on the spot?

"This servant is worried about the Crown Princess!" He Zhu said anxiously.

"Since you're worried about the Crown Princess, hurry up and get the medicine from the Imperial Physician. You should go with Physician Wang to get the medicine yourself!" the Crown Prince said, still concerned.

"Yes, this servant understands!" He Zhu replied with a bitter expression. [Your Highness, what does this mean? Does he want me to get rid of Physician Wang? Or perhaps he wants me to prepare some medicine to induce a miscarriage for the Crown Princess?]

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!" The Crown Prince looked up and saw He Zhu still in a daze.

"Yes, this servant will go right away!" He Zhu didn't dare to delay and immediately followed Physician Wang to get the medicine.

At this moment, He Xue slowly opened her eyes and saw the Crown Prince looking at her with a worried expression.

"Crown Prince, what brings you here? Where is this?" He Xue remembered that everything went black before her eyes, and she couldn't remember anything after that.

"This is the Tongjia residence. How do you feel?" the Crown Prince asked softly.

"I'm alright!" He Xue said, and when she looked up, she saw Madam Tongjia and Madam Tongjia standing behind the Crown Prince. "Grandma, Grandma!"

Seeing this, the Crown Prince stood up and said to He Xue, "He Xue, rest for a while, we'll return to the palace shortly!"

"Alright!" He Xue knew that the Crown Prince was giving her and Madam Tongjia time to talk.

After the Crown Prince left, Madam Tongjia and Madam Tongjia gathered around He Xue.

"He Xue, is there anything else that's bothering you?" Madam Tongjia asked.

"I'm alright now, Grandma, don't worry!"

"You must take good care of yourself, especially now that you're pregnant, you can't be careless!" Madam Tongjia instructed.

"Pregnant?" He Xue thought she had misheard!

"Yes, the imperial physician just said you are pregnant!" Madam Tongjia said happily.

Looking at her flat stomach, He Xue's joy was beyond words. This was her and the Crown Prince's child. Could it be that the conditioning she had been doing these past few days had worked?

At the same time, Xue also thought that the Crown Prince had always believed that he was drinking a contraceptive soup. Would the Crown Prince suspect her? However, she hadn't noticed anything unusual about the Crown Prince just now. She would explain it to him when she returned to Yuqing Palace.

Madam Tongjia and Madam Tongjia then told He Xue many things to pay attention to. They originally wanted to find a reliable and experienced person from the Tongjia clan to send to the palace, but then they thought that He Xue was pregnant and the Emperor and Empress Dowager would definitely make arrangements, so they didn't mention it to He Xue.

When the Crown Prince arrived at the front hall, Tong Guogang, Tong Guowei, and Fahai immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

"No need for formalities, just do it!" the Crown Prince said.

"Fahai, Father Emperor has taken a liking to you and has asked you to teach the thirteenth and fourteenth princes. I know you have real talent and learning, but you can't let yourself become stupid from studying too much, and lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong!"

You should know what the Eighth Prince has done. Does he really have the charm to make you die for his confidant? The Crown Prince looked at Fahai with sharp eyes.

"It was my foolishness, Your Highness, please forgive me!" Fahai said.

"You must have your own judgment and not be easily manipulated by others!" the crown prince concluded.

"Thank you for your instruction, Your Highness!" Fahai replied.

“Your Highness, it is my fault for failing to discipline this unfilial son, which has led him to do such a thing. I beg Your Highness to punish him!” Tong Guogang said to the Crown Prince.

"Fahai is not a two or three-year-old child. He should take responsibility for what he has done, and Lord Tongjia does not need to blame himself! I will not investigate anything further."

As for Father Emperor, I don't think he'll care too much. He Xue is pregnant, and for He Xue's sake, he won't make things difficult for Fahai!" the Crown Prince said.

"The Crown Princess is pregnant? This servant congratulates Your Highness!" Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were also very happy to hear this, as it would further solidify He Xue's position.

"I will return to the palace first. He Xue still needs to rest." The Crown Prince stood up to leave.

"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Crown Prince!" the three said in unison.
