"Although Consort Xi's unborn child was frightened, it will recover after a period of rest in bed."
Xu Lejin nodded slightly, her eyes lowered.
"Thanks to the blessings of our ancestors and the Emperor's great grace, Consort Xi and the unborn child are safe and sound. This is a joyous occasion, but..."
Xu Lejin glanced at Kangxi out of the corner of her eye, her brows furrowing slightly. She said softly, "In Chuxiu Palace, Consort Wen has passed away, and Consort Xi is pregnant with the Emperor's child and needs to rest in bed.
