Lin Zixi pretended to blurt it out, but in fact she was hinting at it deliberately.

With Wen Chenxuan's intelligence, she didn't believe that he wouldn't understand what she meant.

But Wen Chenxuan just frowned, pretending not to understand what she was saying, and changed the subject in time.

Lin Zixi could only try to shift the topic to that area, but Wen Chenxuan refused to accept it.

After a while, he waved to her.

"Okay, you can leave now. Let me have a good rest. As for the child, we can talk about it later."

"emperor……"

Lin Zixi grabbed his arm and shook it a few times like a spoiled child.

"Alright, get out of here."

Lin Zixi pursed his lips in grievance and could only leave indignantly.

For several days in a row, she came to visit Wen Chenxuan every day, using the child as an excuse every time.

Because Wen Chenxuan cared about the child, he did not drive her away, but Lin Zixi hinted to Wen Chenxuan more than once that the child in her belly should be made the crown prince.

This time, she really couldn't bear it anymore, so she brought it up directly.

"Your Majesty, this child is your first son. Why don't you appoint him as the Crown Prince in advance? This will give me peace of mind and will also be a gift to the child."

Wen Chenxuan's face suddenly became terrifyingly gloomy.

"What do you mean by this? Are you worried that I will live too long, so you are anxious for me to appoint a crown prince?"

His tone suppressed a huge storm, and he strangled Lin Zixi's neck, the anger in his eyes erupting.

Lin Zixi's body trembled, tears welled up in pain, and she denied it tremblingly, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. My feelings for you are clear to all. How could you think of me like this? If it wasn't because I loved you, why would I have sacrificed so much for you in the past? Which woman would consummate the marriage with a man she doesn't love?"

"From that moment on, I have given my life to you. You cannot wrongly accuse me..."

Her tears rolled down as she explained in a tone that would most arouse sympathy from men.

Looking at the pain and determination in her eyes, Wen Chenxuan suddenly remembered every moment he had spent with Lin Zixi in the past, and then he let her go.

"You'd better not have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. The matter of appointing a crown prince is a serious matter, and it is not something that I can decide alone. Besides, the child has not been born yet. What if it is a girl?"

Lin Zixi didn't dare to refute and could only bow his head and apologize.

Wen Chenxuan became annoyed with her and waved his hand for her to leave.

Lin Zixi was obviously relieved as if he had been pardoned, and left impatiently.

The moment he turned around, his eyes were filled with strong resentment, his face turned dark, and his fingers clenched into fists in an instant.

Originally, she still had a trace of love for Wen Chenxuan, but today she can completely give up. This man has never loved her and only used her in the past!

There have never been any secrets in the palace. Everything that happened here has already spread throughout the entire palace.

Lin Zixi came to the garden angrily, and before he could find a place to rest, he heard a burst of arrogant laughter behind him.

"Some people just don't know their own capabilities. They don't even look at their own status. They even want to learn from others who rely on their sons to gain status. It's simply ridiculous! I don't know who the emperor just scolded. That person is really shameless. He is so self-righteous that he thinks he is superior to the emperor..."

Chu Ranxin deliberately raised his voice to a shrill tone, wishing that everyone in the palace could hear it.

Lin Zixi's last bit of dignity was completely trampled on the ground by her and shattered to the ground.

She clenched her fingers tightly, her chest heaving with anger. She wanted to leave, but Chu Ranxin blocked her way, glared at her with his hands on his hips.

"What? You are very unconvinced, aren't you? I didn't ask you to go to the emperor. You asked him to cancel your appointment. You should blame yourself! You have to give yourself dignity. Be careful next time!"

With a haughty snort, Chu Ranxin left in a triumphant manner.

In order to stimulate Lin Zixi, he deliberately put his hand on her belly and stroked it gently.

Back in the bedroom, Lin Zixi smashed the things on the dressing table to the ground, and the raging anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Chu Ranxin, you bitch! Just wait for me, I won't let you have an easy time!"

Not only did she poison my own child last time, but now she wants to crush me and fulfill her dream of a prosperous life!

She immediately found a maid she could trust and handed her a bag of silver.

"Go and take care of everything about that bitch Chu Ranxin right now, including her food, clothing, housing and transportation!" She ordered sternly, the hatred in her eyes surging to its peak.

The reason why the emperor did not appoint a crown prince was probably related to Chu Ranxin's pregnancy. If anyone dared to harm her child, her child would never be able to be born safely!

There was a flash of viciousness in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

It took the palace maid half a month to finally find out Chu Ranxin's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and came to report.

"My lady, I have found out that Chu Ranxin, this bitch, eats and drinks to her heart's content without any scruples. She also particularly likes to eat spicy food, which are all taboos during pregnancy! How dare she eat so recklessly?"

The palace maid scratched her hair, puzzled and didn't think about anything else at all.

"Are you serious?" Lin Zixi's eyes lit up, still a little incredulous.

"Really? I saw it with my own eyes. By the way, she is having dinner in the yard now. How about we go and take a look?"

Lin Zixi hesitated for a moment and let the palace maid lead the way.

Chu Ranxin's bedroom was not far away, and they arrived there quickly. Because they were sitting in the yard, they could see her ugly eating habits clearly.

It was very hot today, with the sun scorching. Chu Ranxin was eating iced watermelon, feasting on it without any regard for anything else, leaving Lin Zixi stunned.

I subconsciously put my hand on my stomach and felt a slight discomfort.

She is a pregnant woman, and she knows very well that she cannot eat and drink like this when she is pregnant. It is not good for the baby and can easily cause signs of pregnancy.

Chu Ranxin has a special physique, she must know this better than me. If she was really pregnant, why didn't she lie in bed motionless and take care of herself? How dare she act so willfully!

"Could it be that she is not pregnant?" A bold guess flashed through her mind.

But this is just a guess and cannot be verified at all. Besides, the imperial physician personally checked that day and confirmed that she was pregnant!

At this moment, a maid brought a bowl of spicy noodles and respectfully presented it to Chu Ranxin, who ate it with relish.

I felt it wasn’t cool enough, so I took some ice cubes and put them in my mouth and chewed them in big mouthfuls!

This made Lin Zixi certain that she could not possibly be pregnant and it must be a trick she was playing to cover up the truth.

With a cold sneer, Lin Zixi looked disdainful, "Chu Ranxin, I want to see how you pretend!"
