Rong Xi, who turned around, also amazed Shen Ze'an. He stroked Rong Xi's face with his hand.
"My people have already gone to Qing Country. I believe we will get the answer soon."
"You sent someone there, when?"
"When the Fifth Princess gets married, as for what you promised the Queen, just follow your heart. I support you."
Rong Xi saw the disappointment that flashed across Shen Ze'an's face, and thought it was because he had just mentioned that the queen was pregnant.
Rong Xi's tone suddenly changed, "Chen Ze'an, do you want a child?"
The room fell silent for a moment, and only the shallow breathing of the two people could be heard.
"Rong Xi, my adoptive father once said that anyone who takes the Sky Shield will no longer have children."
His eyesight was very good, and even in the dark, he could see the expression on Rong Xi's face very clearly.
She didn't feel disappointed when she heard this, nor did she feel disgusted or disdainful, but his heart was still hanging in the air.
"You think I, a mere Sky Shield, can't do anything. But in just a few months, I've already accomplished things you couldn't even imagine before."
"Can……"
"Don't worry, believe me." She took Shen Ze'an's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, "Maybe it's already here."
Chen Ze'an felt it was hot, this was something he dared not hope for. He had never thought that he might have offspring. For eunuchs like them, cutting off the incense was their fate.
He looked at Rong Xi, but couldn't bring himself to pour cold water on her. Rong Xi seemed to want a child very much. If he couldn't have one, would Rong Xi bring up divorce again?
"Yes, maybe the child has already come to us."
Rong Xi found this strange. It sounded like he believed it, but why did he have such a strange expression?
"Xi'er, please help me see if I can still have children."
Rong Xi is an excellent doctor, maybe it really can work. He looked at Rong Xi's expression carefully, fearing that he would tell lies to comfort himself.
Rong Xi nodded, his expression serious, without a trace of flaw.
Of course it wouldn't work if an ordinary woman was released. Who is she? She is the one who controls the childbearing system.
"Then my internal energy can still be restored."
"It's just a side effect of overindulgence after detoxification. Don't be so greedy next time."
Shen Zean blushed when he was told that, so that’s how it was.
.
More than a month later, the queen finally announced the good news of her pregnancy. She had to announce it because her morning sickness was very severe and the emperor still wanted her to sleep with him.
She didn't dare take such a big risk and had no choice but to announce it.
The emperor was indeed happy. There were many complaints in the court about the issue of offspring. Although he had been on the throne for less than two years, he still had no children. There were even rumors that the emperor was cursed. If he had not suppressed this matter, there would probably be another wave of trouble.
When the emperor came to the queen's palace, his face was full of joy and his voice was so loud that it could be heard from far away.
"Queen, how are you feeling today? Has the child bothered you?"
Although the queen is not the first woman to be pregnant, she is the only one in the harem who is pregnant now. The child comes at a very good time. Let's see how the ministers use this matter to make sense.
The Queen was in a very good mood today. It was rare to see the Emperor smiling so much, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
"Long live His Majesty."
Before she even knelt, she was helped up by the emperor, "Now that you are pregnant, these formalities can be dispensed with."
She did not refuse, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The emperor placed his hand on the queen's belly. He hoped that it was a son. Even if she gave birth to only daughters later, there would still be someone to carry on the family line.
"If the Queen Mother knew this news, she would definitely be very happy."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will definitely get better. Didn't the Imperial Physician say that the Queen Mother's condition has improved? This is good news."
The imperial physician said that the condition had improved more than a month ago, but now the empress dowager is still not conscious. These imperial physicians are really more useless than each other.
"Don't worry about these things. The most important thing for you now is to protect our child, Queen. I have lost so many children before. My only hope now is him. Do you know that?"
The queen complained in her heart that even though it was already like this, you, as the emperor and the father of those dead children, had never thought of conducting a thorough investigation and severe punishment, and always dealt with the matter in a perfunctory manner. This was really unbearable for her, a woman like you.
"Your Majesty, I am on high alert. If the person behind this is still there, how can Your Majesty be on high alert for a thousand days?"
The emperor was silent for a moment before comforting her, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and the child this time."
The emperor left and came to a palace. As the emperor, he was stopped outside the door, and the people inside showed no intention of coming out to greet him.
Xiao Dezi stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like me to knock on the door?"
"Never mind, let's go."
When the palace maid guarding the door saw His Majesty leaving, she trotted to the inner hall, which was magnificent and contained many treasures that were rarely seen even in the Queen's palace.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has left."
The woman's eyes moved slightly, and she looked towards the door and sneered, "Well, go down, I want to be alone for a while."
.
Rong Xi was once again invited to the palace by the Queen. It was summer now, and the Queen was wearing a thin shirt, and her bulging belly was already visible.
"Ninth sister is here, come and sit down."
The queen was busy greeting people and had a lot of food brought to him, and she also placed a lot in front of her.
Especially the sour and sweet candied fruit, the queen's mouth started watering when she saw it.
But just as she picked it up, Rong Xi threw a walnut at her, knocking the candied fruit that she had already fed into her mouth to the ground.
The maids around the queen immediately protected her, fearing that Rong Xi would suddenly attack.
The queen was startled and confused, not knowing why Rong Xi did this.
"Empress, does no one check your food?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the queen knew what was going on. She pulled the palace maid in front of her away and whispered something in her ear.
The palace maid moved quickly and efficiently. She told the good man to guard the place and then led the people out to the small kitchen.
The queen was still in shock and only asked Rong Xi after she calmed down a little.
"Ninth sister, what's wrong with this candied fruit?"
"To be precise, it's not candied fruit, but a fruit bowl filled with candied fruit. I smelled a strange fragrance as soon as the food was brought in. The fragrance was even stronger when it passed in front of me. I thought it was from the palace maid, but when she left, the fragrance disappeared."
Rong Xi picked up a piece of candied fruit on the table and put it under his nose to smell it. The smell was not obvious and could not be smelled at all if he did not pay attention and smell it carefully.
She picked up the fruit plate again, and just as she thought, there was a distinct smell on it.
The queen was puzzled. She really didn't smell it, and now she didn't dare to pick it up and smell it.
"It's fennel. It has a refreshing effect, but it's a big taboo for pregnant women. Smelling it too much can cause fetal movement disturbances and eventually lead to miscarriage."
The queen's face turned pale. She had been so careful, but someone still had ulterior motives.
