When Gu Xiyan said this, she suddenly asked: "Liu Chaoyan suddenly got pregnant. Could it be that she was conceived after the death of Concubine Xian?"

If this were the case, the common people could drown Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan with just a mouthful of saliva.

After all, Concubine Xian was Zhou Xing's biological mother. It was neither filial nor righteous to perform the ceremony of husband and wife just after her biological mother passed away.

Zhou Mu's eyes flashed slightly, he counted the days, and then shook his head: "She should have been pregnant before Concubine Xian died."

Gu Xiyan also silently calculated the time when Concubine Xian would die and found that Zhou Mu was right.

So there is no way to make a fuss about this matter.

The two couples did not discuss the matter again, dressed appropriately, and planned to enter the palace.

Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that they just left the house, and Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan also happened to go out.

The moment Liu Chaoyan saw Gu Xiyan, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards Gu Xiyan: "What a coincidence, is my sister also entering the palace?"

Gu Xiyan thought to herself that what she asked was not nonsense?

"Madam, get in the carriage." Zhou Mu didn't seem to see Liu Chaoyan and said directly to Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan laughed: "I don't need your help, I can walk by myself."

"Your body is delicate and cannot be damaged in the slightest. Madam is not nervous. She is nervous for her husband."

Zhou Mu's words were harsh in Liu Chaoyan's ears.

People who didn't know thought that Gu Xiyan was the one who was pregnant. She was obviously pregnant, but Zhou Xing still treated her the same as before, not even willing to give her a hand.

Zhou Xing was able to lift the ban, which was clearly due to her.

It's just that not long after Concubine Xian left, she didn't dare to show her face to Zhou Xing.Zhou Xing looks particularly gloomy recently. He still has the same face, but his temperament is much gloomier than before.

"I have just been lifted from the ban, so please do not act in a public way. You must also remember this and don't cause trouble for me. Don't think that Xiyan has a good temper and will tolerate your provocations again and again!" Zhou Xing looked at the carriage Gu Xiyan was riding in. Stay away and speak with warning.

Liu Chaoyan felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to disobey Zhou Xing.

But it still made her sad to see Zhou Xing get on the carriage first, not even willing to help her.

Brothers Zhou Mu and Zhou Xing entered the palace one after another, first going to Yankang Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.It happened that Emperor Chengde was also in Yankang Palace. When he saw the Zhou brothers appearing, his eyes fell on Zhou Mu's face for a long time.

When Gu Xiyan saw this small detail, she knew that Liu Chaoyan's pregnancy had made Emperor Cheng De anxious about Zhou Mu's heir.

It has to be said that Liu Chaoyan's pregnancy really put pressure on Zhou Mu.Otherwise, Emperor Cheng De would not be so anxious about Zhou Mu's heir.

Zhou Mu is good at everything based on his ability, talent and learning. Although he is aloof and has only been in the court for a short time, Zhou Mu is very likable.

Not only did Emperor Cheng De like Zhou Mu, but the officials of the current court also liked him, not to mention that all the famous ladies in the capital were obsessed with Zhou Mu's face.

Zhou Mu, who had absolutely no faults at all, now had something that was criticized, and that was that since her marriage, she, the princess, had not been able to conceive her little grandson.

Under the gaze of Emperor Cheng De, Zhou Mu's expression did not change at all. He calmly greeted Emperor Cheng De and the Queen Mother, while Gu Xiyan stood quietly beside Zhou Mu.

The couple stood together, and the scene was really eye-catching.

Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan followed closely behind, saying goodbye and then took their seats.At this time, an imperial doctor came in, and at the instruction of Emperor Chengde, he went to take Liu Chaoyan's pulse.

The diagnosis results showed that Liu Chaoyan was one month pregnant.

After hearing this, Gu Xiyan suddenly understood.Zhou Xing had been working hard to create humans when he first returned to Beijing. Maybe Zhou Xing knew that this disaster was inevitable, but if Liu Chaoyan could live up to his expectations, he might be able to give him a glimmer of hope.

Facts have proved that this child came at just the right time, allowing Zhou Xing to walk out of the gate of Prince Qin's mansion so quickly under such harsh circumstances.

Emperor Chengde was indeed very satisfied with the arrival of this child.

Among his adult sons, King Zhao has not yet decided, Zi Mo has too much personality, and King Qin is banned because of the Zheng family.Originally, he planned to ignore King Qin for a while, but because Liu Chaoyan suddenly became pregnant, he received a surprise on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was an unexpected blessing.

"Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of yourself until the child is born smoothly." Emperor Cheng De looked kindly at Liu Chaoyan.

Liu Chaoyan lowered his eyebrows and replied calmly: "What the father said is that my son will take good care of himself."

Emperor Chengde asked Liu Chaoyan to sit back down, and then made some adjustments to the housework.From beginning to end, Emperor Chengde did not say a word to Zhou Xing.

Instead, she asked Gu Xiyan to see him off before leaving. Gu Xiyan knew that Emperor Cheng De wanted to put pressure on her.

When Zhou Mu saw this scene, how could he let Gu Xiyan be alone with Emperor Cheng De?He followed without hesitation: "My son, I also want to send my father off."

Emperor Chengde sneered, how could he not know Zhou Mu's plan?

The child was afraid that he would embarrass Xiyan, but he was active in protecting his wife.

A smile flashed in Gu Xiyan's eyes.At this moment, Zhou Mu pushed her aside, and he took her place, walking side by side with Emperor Cheng De.

Gu Xiyan: ...

Zhou Mu's obvious action also attracted the attention of Emperor Cheng De. Zhou Mu looked back calmly: "If your father has anything to say to Xiyan, you might as well say it directly to Erchen. Erchen and Xiyan are one husband and wife, and she Her problem is her son's problem. If she doesn't do well, then her son doesn't do well..."

Gu Xiyan was afraid that he would go crazy, so she tugged at his sleeves to tell him to restrain himself so as not to displease Emperor Cheng.

"Then I will tell you directly. Zimo, you are not young anymore. When will you give me a little grandson?" Emperor Cheng De simply pointed out the topic.

Zhou Mu replied directly: "Didn't Princess Qin just get pregnant? With Prince Qin and Princess Qin having a baby, Xiyan and I can relax for a few more years."

Emperor Cheng De slowed down and looked at Zhou Mu: "Are you sure it's enough for King Qin to have a little grandson?"

"My father has many children. In addition to King Qin, there is also King Zhao. I think King Zhao is not young anymore. It's time to marry the princess. If my father has another son and a little grandson, he will be happy." Zhou Mulian Ironic and authentic.

Gu Xiyan pinched Zhou Mu's arm hard, hoping that he would stop saying a few words.

No matter how you say this, he is still a king. Doesn’t the emperor want to lose face?Even if his beloved son was reviled like this by Zhou Mu, Emperor Cheng De could not remain indifferent.

Not only was Emperor Chengde not angry, he turned to her and asked her, "Xi Yan, do you think so too?"

Gu Xiyan glanced at Zhou Mu subconsciously. Zhou Mu was about to answer when Emperor Chengde saw through his intention: "I'm asking about Xiyan, Zimo, you let Xiyan answer me."

Gu Xiyan smiled and replied: "My husband's wish shall prevail. Since my husband doesn't want children now, I will respect my husband's ideas. My husband and I think that both my husband and I are still young and are not in a hurry to have children. This kind of thing just happens." (End of chapter)
