She quickly flipped to Ning Yin's page and found her menstrual record from a month ago.

The red checkmark was very eye-catching, and Wang Yuan spotted it at a glance.

It turns out that Ning Yin had her period at that time, which means that she became pregnant after being kidnapped by Shen Yun.

Therefore, it's safe to say that this child is 100% not Xiao Xuan's.

Wang Yuan's sinister expression became increasingly pronounced, her muscles twitching with each smile.

"Ning Yin, now you have no way to defend yourself!"

She tucked the booklet into her sleeve, a smug smile on her face.

After doing all this, Wang Yuan didn't forget to cut a bunch of jasmine flowers and pick a basket of peaches for Empress Dowager Zhang from the garden.

"Your Majesty, these are freshly ripened peaches. I have washed them for you. Would you like to try some?"

She obediently and respectfully placed the jasmine flowers in the vase, and then put the basket of peaches on the table.

Wang Yuan had only been in the palace for a little over a month, but she had already won over Empress Dowager Zhang's favor. Even the head palace maid, Mei Ying, was sometimes neglected by Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang enjoyed eating the fruit grown in her own courtyard; these fruit trees were all rare varieties.

During this long, rainless summer, it was thanks to Wang Yuan who carried a wooden bucket to water the fruit trees and flowers every day.

Otherwise, how could she possibly eat such fresh fruit?

Empress Dowager Zhang picked one up and took a bite. It was just the right firmness, sweet and sour, with a unique peach fragrance.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly, "Not bad, it's sweeter than last year's. Junzhu, you're really capable."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was smiling, Wang Yuan said some flattering things to steer the conversation toward Ning Yin.

She first mentioned that the old nanny who was in charge of recording the menstrual cycles of the women in the harem was having some stomach pains today and was afraid she wouldn't be able to go to the various palaces to register.

Empress Dowager Zhang thought Wang Yuan was a helpful girl, so she waved her hand and instructed, "Then you can run the errand for her."

With Empress Dowager Zhang's permission, Wang Yuan quickly left Chang Le Palace.

She first went to the side of some of the less favored concubines, then to Consort Chen, and finally to Ning Yin.

She ran into Xiao Xuan as soon as she entered the East Palace gate.
