Xiao Jingyi pursed his lips and began to falsely accuse Jiang Fulai: "When I saw him speaking haltingly, I thought he was conspiring with others to harm my brother."
Jiang Fulai was so frightened by his accusation that he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"This servant dares not."
Xiao Lanchuan's smile deepened as he helped the bent-over Xiao Jingyi up. "Jingyi, you're overthinking it. I was just momentarily distracted by the pleasures of the court and missed the morning court session."
Xiao Lanchuan's voice was indescribably lazy and satisfied.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi subconsciously looked up at him and indeed saw the ambiguous marks on his neck.
In his memory, Xiao Lanchuan had never been infatuated with beautiful women.

"As you know, the Empress Dowager has always been worried about my offspring. I think it might be because I haven't favored you enough, so I indulged myself a little last night."

When Xiao Jingyi brought up the issue of imperial offspring, the Empress Dowager seized the opportunity to say, "Yes, my son, you are having difficulty conceiving now. I have had several women from official families who are good at conceiving. They are good-looking and of good character and will surely be able to produce offspring for the royal family."
Soon, Zhang, the head maid who served the Empress Dowager, brought over several portraits.
Xiao Lanchuan looked at the portraits, and compared to the one on his dragon bed, no, he couldn't compare.
He curled his lips into a smile: "I will leave everything to Mother's arrangements."
