Song Hongshen waved his hand, and Baiguo took the servants downstairs and closed the door again.
Seeing that the servants had left, Song Hongshen leaned in and stared at Su Zhilan, "Is that what you think? Then I have fulfilled the emperor's will?"
Su Zhilan's rebellious nature was revealed at this moment.
She did not dodge, but met Song Hongshen's gaze and looked him in the eye, "Your Highness, please don't drag this matter into me. If you really agreed, it was because you wanted to agree."
Song Hongshen recalled what he heard when he entered the room, and suddenly realized.
"So you've decided that if I have another woman, you'll leave the palace, right?"
His tone softened again in the last sentence. As he spoke, he clasped the back of her head with one hand, and leaned forward, resting his forehead against hers.
Su Zhilan was suddenly moved. "Does His Highness have other women?"
Song Hongshen didn't answer her, but leaned over and kissed her.
The wanton plundering and entanglement between lips and teeth made Su Zhilan's tense body soften.
After a long time, he finally let her go, then hugged her and said, "There will be no other woman, and there will never be another woman in this life."
"When you entered the palace, I refused to choose a concubine as your daughter-in-law because I didn't want to repeat my mother's mistakes."
"But only after marrying you did I realize how correct this decision was. Zhilan, I swear, there will never be another woman in my life."
"Don't you dare say that about wandering around the world again? You're trying to kill me."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss Su Zhilan's forehead, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.
Su Zhilan put her face on his chest, snorted softly and said, "If one day I really leave, it must be because I am completely disappointed in you."
Song Hongshen felt that Su Zhilan was sent by God to "torture" him.
He was afraid that he would be controlled by her for the rest of his life.
Su Zhilan asked again, "What are you going to do about Father?"
Song Hongshen smiled and said, "What should we do? The one who should be worried now is not me, but your powerful brother-in-law."
Su Zhilan was suddenly startled, "What do you mean?"
Song Hongshen explained, "The emperor wanted to send those two people to the teacher and wanted me to announce the decree. I refused and had a slight argument with the emperor. I have already sent someone to pass on the message to the teacher. It depends on how he responds."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhilan broke free from Song Hongshen's arms, stood up, and said anxiously, "Big sister is still pregnant..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Zhilan felt dizzy and fell to the side.
Song Hongshen was so frightened that he quickly hugged the man and shouted, "Excuse me, doctor, hurry up."
Afterwards, Su Zhilan was carried to the inner room of the main house.
When Li Yuanzheng, the Imperial Hospital's director, arrived, Su Zhilan had already woken up. Song Hongshen sat by her side, looking at her intently.
When Bai Guo greeted Li Yuanzheng as he entered, he said, "Our queen hasn't been enjoying her meals these past few days, and she suddenly fainted today."
Li Yuan was about to approach and pay his respects to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, but was stopped by Song Hongshen. These formalities were not as important as Su Zhilan's health.
Baiguo brought over the brocade stool, and after Li Yuanzheng sat down, he began to take Su Zhilan's pulse.
Song Hongshen looked at her anxiously, and then gently comforted Su Zhilan, "It's okay, I'm here."
Not long after, Li Yuanzheng stood up with a beaming expression, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is pregnant."
Song Hongshen couldn't believe it at first, then he grabbed Su Zhilan's hand and said, "Zhilan, are you pregnant? We have a child?"
Su Zhilan didn't expect that she would suddenly become pregnant. She did not have any symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or drowsiness.
The several senior palace maids serving below were also overjoyed. They knelt down and saluted, saying, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
Song Hongshen asked the imperial physician many questions and gave rewards to the people in the Eastern Palace.
When they were the only two people left in the room, he sat on the bed and said to Su Zhilan, "You're pregnant now, so you can't be as careless as before. And don't touch that firearm anymore."
Su Zhilan was still worried about Su Qingyu, so she asked Song Hongshen, "The emperor ordered those two people to be sent to the Shen family. Can my brother-in-law disobey the order?"
Song Hongshen hugged Su Zhilan and comforted her, "Don't worry, I haven't seen anything so tough as this."
Su Zhilan didn't notice that when Song Hongshen said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. It was as if a question that had been bothering him for a long time finally had an answer.
*
At this time, in the inner house of the Shen family, the old lady lived in Qingyuan Residence.
The old lady has not been in good health recently, so Su Qingyu stays with her during the day when she has nothing to do.
She had no morning sickness at all this time, she could eat and sleep well, and everything she ate tasted delicious. She even often forgot she was pregnant.
Shen Zhixiu quietly called Su Qingyu to the side hall and said, "His Majesty has sent two people down here to serve me."
"I guess it won't be long before Eunuch Hu brings people to announce the decree."
He told Su Qingyu that he was worried that this happened too suddenly and her emotions would fluctuate too much, which would be bad for her health.
Su Qingyu sat down beside him, her face not flustered, but asked, "The Emperor never interferes in your private affairs. What is the reason for this decision today?"
Shen Zhixiu gave a bitter laugh, "You've hit the nail on the head. The Emperor no longer trusts me."
"These two people are being wooed and monitored. They also want to use this incident to prove that I am still under his control."
Su Qingyu couldn't help but say, "Ever since His Majesty has believed in these Taoist elixirs, his thoughts have become increasingly difficult to understand."
"These two people are fine. At worst, we can just give them a courtyard to keep them safe. But I'm afraid this is just the beginning. Who knows what will happen next."
