Unexpectedly, he had already switched her medication to fertility drugs, and as he hoped, she became pregnant. However, the medication she had taken before had ultimately damaged her health, making it difficult for her to conceive.
The Imperial Astronomical Bureau said that her birth chart was very strong and contained an evil aura. If they forcibly kept Zhaoyang, it might bring her trouble.
