Ren Junhe showed more patience towards Yu Guijun and asked Xizi again, "How much did he eat?"
Xi Zi looked up at Ren Junhe and then lowered her eyes again: "He's probably still thinking about the Fourth Princess. He didn't eat much, but he seems to have some energy now. He should be feeling better soon. As a father, I'm always worried. The murderer of the Fourth Princess hasn't been found yet, and Yu Guijun can't rest easy either."
Upon hearing Xi Zi mention the Fourth Princess, Ren Junhe frowned: "I have always liked that child and even considered leaving this position to her. But man proposes, God disposes. She was not fortunate enough to enjoy it and passed away early."
“How could she be unlucky?” Xi Zi advised from the side, “She was clearly extremely lucky, otherwise how could she have become His Majesty’s daughter? Perhaps it was because she was too lucky that she couldn’t stay.”
Ren Junhe's expression darkened immediately, clearly dissatisfied with this explanation: "Oh?"
Xi Zi forced a smile and congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Meng Shijun is pregnant!"
Ren Junhe was taken aback, then asked, "How long has it been?"
“It’s only been less than a month. The imperial physician said it’s too early to be sure, but I think it’s definitely true.” Xi Zi said, “The matter of the Fourth Princess just happened not long ago, and Meng Shijun is pregnant again. Maybe the Fourth Princess couldn’t bear to leave His Majesty and came back on her own.
These words seemed to stir up Ren Junhe's memories. He sat on the dragon throne, his eyes half-closed, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I remember when that child was first born, she cried a lot. No one could soothe her no matter how they held her, but she was most well-behaved when I held her. Later, she grew up, and I grew old, unable to hold her anymore..."
Ren Junhe spoke with great sadness, and Xizi felt a little distressed: "Your Majesty is not old at all. Your Majesty is still in the prime of your life. When Consort Meng gives birth, Your Majesty will surely be able to carry the child when you go to see him."
Ren Junhe shook his head: "I won't go. How much can a newborn baby weigh? I'll still be able to carry him in ten years. Since the baby hasn't been born yet, let's put the matter of promotion aside for now. Go to my private treasury and pick out some things to send over."
Xizi happily went off after receiving the instructions.
When Yu Guijun heard the news, he was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha, I knew it, I knew it!" He knelt on the cold stone steps, wearing only a thin undergarment and with disheveled hair. "The emperor's favor is nothing but fleeting smoke. You seem to have gained everything, but you have gained nothing. Consort Yu, Consort Yu, I have served you for so many years, only receiving this title after my son died. I have never seen you give me anything. He is just pregnant, and you treat him like a treasure? Ren Junhe, Ren Junhe!!! How could you be so cruel?!"
"Saying that he might be the reincarnation of the Fourth Princess is just a way to climb to the throne by stepping on her. He believed a few flattering words from someone else without even realizing it? He's clearly a monster. It was because of his existence that my son lost his life."
"Your Highness, please stop! If these words reach His Majesty and the Phoenix Prince's ears, Your Highness will be in trouble!" The servants attending him turned pale with fright at his appearance.
Yu Guijun laughed loudly, then clenched his fist and slammed it onto the stone steps. Crimson blood stained the blue stone steps, turning them into poignant flowers.
