Concubine Xu was walking listlessly, swinging her handkerchief. Upon hearing this, she suddenly perked up, "Is your face disfigured?"

Caixia shook her head. "I heard from the imperial physician that I need to avoid certain foods and recuperate for a few days before I can get better."

"She's lucky." Concubine Xu was a little disappointed, but she felt relieved when she thought that she must be very scared because of the rash on her face.

Caixia continued, "Yesterday, Concubine Xue originally wanted His Majesty to go to her place for dinner, but because she had a rash on her face, she didn't dare to see His Majesty."

"Why did Your Highness agree to have dinner with her? Can't you see that she has ulterior motives?" Concubine Xu was indignant.

Caixia was a little confused, "My young master already doesn't like His Highness, so why is My young master still angry when His Highness goes somewhere?"

Concubine Xu raised her chin and said, "You don't understand. This is called standing up for the weak."

Caixia nodded, not quite understanding, "My lady, calm down. His Highness didn't make it."

Concubine Xu supported her golden hairpin and said, "That's better."

Shen Chuwei had just finished breakfast and was lying on the bed resting.

When Concubine Xu came in, she saw Shen Chuwei lying on the bed like a salted fish.

Shen Chuwei saw Concubine Xu coming. They were so familiar with each other that they didn't need to greet each other. But when she saw the big dark circles under Concubine Xu's eyes, she was stunned.

"Concubine Xu, what did you do last night?"

Concubine Xu opened her mouth and wanted to speak out, but when she thought of the threat from the man in black, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.

She is a person who has to say whatever she wants to say. It is torture to keep it to herself.

"I didn't sleep well last night." Concubine Xu was vague. Seeing Shen Chuwei lying on the bed, she asked worriedly, "Why are you still lying in bed? Are you sick?"

Shen Chuwei laughed and said, "I have nothing to do, so I plan to take a nap."

"Why are you sleeping in broad daylight?" Concubine Xu yawned after saying that. Thinking of Concubine Xue, she became interested again.

"Shen Liang Di, Concubine Xue has a rash on her face. I am dying of laughter. This is the result of being shameless."

Shen Chuwei lay on the bed, drowsy.

Concubine Xu looked down and saw that Shen Chuwei's eyes were almost closed. She yawned and said, "You didn't sleep well last night?"

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "Can you sleep well if you go to bed in the second half of the night?"

Concubine Xu felt the same pain and said, "I also slept in the second half of the night."

She was afraid when she thought about the agreed time two days later.

When will these terrifying days end?

Dream Palace

After Xueyan finished her breakfast, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and gently applied the ointment prepared by Imperial Physician Wen on her cheeks, hoping that the red spots and red areas would disappear quickly.

Thinking about how Xiao Jinyan wanted to stay overnight last night so he could sleep with me, but was delayed because of his face, I still feel very regretful.

"Shuiyao, did His Highness review memorials again last night?"

Shui Yao said, "Princess, His Highness finished reviewing the memorials very early last night."

Xueyan looked at herself in the mirror. When she first saw this face, she couldn't accept it at all. After looking at it a few more times, she reluctantly accepted herself now.

The imperial physician also said that he would get better.

"Didn't he go to bed early last night? Did he rest in his own bedroom?"

Shui Yao said hesitantly, "Your Highness rested in the Hehuan Palace last night."

Xueyan paused when she heard that. She turned her head and looked at Shuiyao. "What did you say? Where did His Highness stay?"

Shui Yao repeated in a low voice: "Hehuan Palace, where Shen Liangdi is."

"Your Highness is going to the Hehuan Palace?" Xue Yanqi waved her hands and swept all the rouge and powder on the table to the ground.

Xue Yan was shaking with anger, and when she looked at the face in the bronze mirror, she became even more furious.

If it weren't for this face, she would have been the one sleeping with him last night, and she might have gotten pregnant with a boy.

As a result, Shen Liangdi got the advantage.

"I am the princess of Xueyue Country. Why would Shen Liangdi compete with me?"

"Princess, calm down. Even though Shen Liangdi got away with it this time, we still have a chance. When your face gets better, are you afraid that you won't have the chance to sleep with me?" Shui Yao advised gently.

The more Xueyan thought about what happened yesterday, the more unwilling she felt. "It was too easy for her."

"It must be that Didi Shen learned that the princess was ill, so she blatantly seduced you to go to the Hehuan Palace." Shui Yao said as she picked up the rouge and powder on the ground.

"She is just a concubine who only knows how to seduce His Highness." Xueyan looked at her face and said impatiently, "Call Imperial Doctor Wen. When will this face be healed?"

"I'll go right away." Shui Yao packed up her things and trotted out.

After Imperial Physician Wen came, he took the patient's pulse again, and the result was exactly the same as yesterday.

Xueyan touched her face, feeling extremely anxious, "When will it get better?"

"Concubine Xue, take good care of yourself. Stay away from the light and wind and you will be fine in a few days." Imperial Physician Wen repeated.

Xueyan could only worry when she heard this.

* The sun shines through the branches onto the bluestone road, and the air is filled with heat.

Shen Chuwei was too lazy to go out, so she sat on the couch and looked out the window. She saw Yuanyuangun squatting there eating carrots. After these days of training with Xuetuan, the fat boy's belly was gone and his body became slim.

Suddenly, Xuetuan jumped down from the wall, and the round snowball was so scared that it ran away. Without its chubby belly, it ran very fast, like an arrow.

Xuetuan stopped and glanced at the frightened Yuangungun. His eyes seemed to say, "Coward!" At this time, Chunxi came running in, "My lady, Aunt Qingying is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingying walked in, "Shen Liangdi, the Queen wants to see you."

Shen Chuwei got down from the couch and followed Qingying to Fengyi Palace.

Chunxi held up an oil-paper umbrella to shield Shen Chuwei from the scorching sun.

When I walked into Fengyi Palace, I saw the queen lazily lying on the chaise longue, with a little palace maid fanning her gently with a round fan to cool her down.

Shen Chuwei stepped forward to greet him, "Your Highness the Queen, I pay my respects to you. May the Queen be blessed with good health."

The queen said calmly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Queen." Shen Chuwei stood up and looked up at the Queen. "What is it that Queen asked me to come here for?"

"The Crown Prince has no children yet. I mentioned this to the Emperor yesterday. The Crown Prince is the future heir, so having children is particularly important."

The Queen paused here and looked at Shen Chuwei's belly. There was still no movement after so long.

Is the fertility-giving Guanyin in the White Horse Temple no longer effective?

"In the East Palace, the Crown Prince likes you the most, but a year has passed and there has been no movement. I asked you to come here today and want the imperial physician to check your pulse and see what's the cause. You need to be treated as soon as possible."

Shen Chuwei lowered her eyes when she heard that. She didn't expect that the Queen called her for the child.

She and Xiao Jinyan had only been together for a short time, so how could she get pregnant so quickly?

Unfortunately, only heaven, earth, Shen Chuwei, and Xiao Jinyan know about this matter.

Good evening, my darlings!
