He only dared to secretly open it when it was late at night, and the message on it instantly rekindled his dying embers.

It read: "Sheng'er is doing well!"

She instantly realized that this was just a scheme of his, so naturally she had to cooperate with them and put on a good show, so that his efforts wouldn't be wasted.

Meanwhile, Su Wan'er was immersed in Ye Liming's affection.

He held her in his arms, looking like a loving couple.

"My dear consort, shall we play a game?" Ye Liming whispered in her ear.

The palace maids and guards standing to the side blushed to the roots of their ears.

Su Wan'er said coquettishly with a shy expression, "Your Majesty, times have changed. I'm afraid I can no longer play games with you!"

Ye Liming asked nervously, "My beloved consort, why do you say that? Have I done something wrong?"

For a king to say such a thing shows how much he dotes on her.

"Your Majesty, touch it," she said, pulling his hand to her stomach.

A complex look flashed quickly in Ye Liming's eyes, but he still looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "What does my beloved concubine mean by this?"

"Your Majesty, it seems we're about to have another person added to our palace!"

Ye Liming almost jumped off the dragon throne, excitedly pulling her into his arms and saying, "Really?"

"I'm going to have your child, Wan'er?"

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down, don't frighten our child."

"Yes, yes, I was too reckless!"

He then instructed, "Xiao Cui, quickly take your master back to rest."

"I will take the imperial physician to see her later!"

Su Wan'er's face showed a hint of unease: "Your Majesty, there's no need to make such a fuss!"
