I felt a huge pressure coming over me that made me breathless. I couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm my inner turmoil. At this time, Duan Jinxu walked in with a smile. He knelt down and saluted, giving people a well-behaved and humble feeling. Zhao Chengyang's unkind tone revealed his dissatisfaction with Duan Jinxu.

Duan Jinxu knelt down and saluted again. He lowered his head and said,"Your Majesty, please forgive me." There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his voice, and he was obviously wary of his actions. Zhao Chengyang smiled and nodded. He seemed to be tolerant and generous, but in fact he was full of emotions.

Duan Xuefu looked at Duan Jinxu tenderly and said softly:"Xu'er, stand up. What's the best?" Her voice was soft and sweet, full of maternal warmth and love. Duan Jinxu looked at the palace attendants next to him with a smile and motioned for them to leave. Duan Xuefu also said:"You all should stand down." Her tone was firm and left no room for doubt.

The palace attendants retreated one after another, and the sound of the door slowly closing was particularly clear in this quiet space. Duan Jinxu and I knelt in front of Zhao Chengyang and Duan Xuefu with solemn expressions. We said in unison:"We have a plan to report." Our voices were firm and powerful, as if carrying a sense of determination and belief.

After listening to our report, Zhao Chengyang fell silent. He lowered his head and folded his hands on his chest, as if thinking deeply. Duan Xuefu's face was pale, and she said in panic:"No, it's too dangerous. I won't allow it!" Her voice was filled with worry and fear, and she was obviously full of doubts and objections to this plan.

Zhao Chengyang gently hugged Duan Xuefu to comfort her. He said softly:"Fu'er, it's okay." His tone was gentle but firm, trying to calm down Duan Xuefu's excitement. Then he looked at us and asked seriously:"Whose idea was this?"

I took a deep breath to calm down the fluctuations in my heart. I said calmly:"It's me! Father." I looked directly into Zhao Chengyang's eyes and did not avoid his question.

Zhao Chengyang chuckled:"Then why use Xu'er as a target?" There was a hint of teasing and ridicule in his tone, but it was more concerned about Duan Jinxu's safety.

Duan Jinxu explained eagerly:"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong! I asked for it because the emperor's wife is a woman and I am a man! Besides, the prince will be angry if he finds out that the emperor's wife is a target." His voice was urgent and urgent. Determined, obviously full of confidence and determination in this plan.

Zhao Chengyang laughed loudly:"Xu'er, you are thoughtful. It's just that...."When the conversation changed, he frowned and said,"Huan'er is fine now, why is this happening?" There was a hint of confusion and confusion in his voice.

Duan Xuefu also frowned and looked at me, her eyes full of doubts and worries. I took a deep breath and said firmly:"Father, Queen and Queen, are you really sure that the prince is really in a normal state? Is he the same person as he was thirteen years ago? You know that King Kang is sick, and we can all understand his illness. You see, the prince is mentally ill." My voice was serious and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Duan Jinxu also continued:"Yes, Brother Prince's happy moments over the years can be counted on one finger. He is now the replica of Brother Tuo!" There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice.

After saying that, the room fell into silence. Duan Xuefu's whole body softened, and she leaned weakly in Zhao Chengyang's arms. Zhao Chengyang hugged her tightly, patted her hand gently and comforted:"Fu'er is over." Duan Xuefu closed her eyes, as if escaping from this depressing scene. She said feebly:"You guys go down first." Her voice was weak and tired.

We respectfully exited the front hall. Duan Jinxu's face was filled with a victorious smile. He waved his fist to me and whispered:"It's done!"

I was still a little confused and couldn't help asking:"Why?"

Duan Jinxu said proudly. He blinked and the corners of his mouth curved upward even further."You will understand soon. I am going to Han'er now. Do you want to come with me?"

I nodded and followed him through the corridor and towards the back hall. The breeze blew gently, blowing the bead curtains on the corridor, making a pleasant tinkling sound, seeming to be cheering for us.

I suddenly remembered something, stopped and said to Duan Jinxu,"Axu, your sister is pregnant, did you know?"

Duan Jinxu nodded, smiled and said,"Yes, I just delayed reading the letter." He scratched his head, his eyes flashing with excitement:"I'm going to be an uncle!"

I couldn't help laughing when I heard the news. This laughter contained both blessings for A Ling and teasing for A Xu. He Yahan heard the sound and walked out from the door of the back hall. After saluting us, he said softly:"Xu Lang, keep your voice down. Ah Shi wants to sleep."

I nodded and said softly:"I can go and take a look. Ah Shi?"

He Yahan smiled and took my hand, leading me into the house. Ah Shi is lying in an exquisite cradle. The scene is so cute that it makes your heart melt. His face is round and lovely, his skin is as fair as jade, and his long eyelashes tremble gently like butterfly wings. Ah Shi wore an embroidered hat on his head. The brim of the hat was raised slightly and swayed gently with his breathing. His little hands and feet were waving constantly, as if he was exploring the world. That petite body looks particularly cute in the soft quilt, and people can't help but want to hug him. The cradle swayed gently and made a soft squeaking sound, like a lullaby. Ah Shi swayed gently to the rhythm of the rocking bed, his little head swaying from side to side from time to time, looking at ease and comfortable. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he were smiling. The room is filled with the faint fragrance of milk and the fresh breath unique to babies, making people feel extremely warm and peaceful. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, I couldn't help but feel a warm current in my heart.

He Yahan and I looked at each other in tacit understanding, smiled and exited the room.

When we walked to the porch, I took a deep breath and said with emotion:"Ah Shi, he is growing up so fast. He is only four months old and he is already so big. He is so cute!"

He Yahan smiled. He looked up, his eyes full of tenderness:"Yes, Sister-in-law, Ah Shi looks cute, but he is actually very naughty. When he wakes up later, you will know that his and Xu Lang's personalities are exactly the same.

" At that time, Duan Jinxu came over and joked:"Why are you complimenting me?"

I responded with a smile:"Ah Shi is very naughty like you."

He Yahan couldn't help laughing, while Duan Jinxu looked proud. She giggled and said,"Isn't my character very charming?"

I laughed so hard that He Yahan stopped him:"Xu Lang, come on, don't be poor." Then she turned around and smiled. Then he asked me:"Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about having a son or a daughter?"

I thought for a moment and replied:"Actually, I haven't thought about this issue yet."

Duan Jinxu interjected:"Having a daughter will look like a prince. It would be great if my brother is as beautiful as me."

I pretended to hit him and reproached him:"Then you mean that I am not good-looking enough. Can't I have a son?"

Duan Jinxu immediately jumped away and said with a smile:"Han'er, Listen, my sister-in-law said she wanted to have a son."

At this time, Duan Xuefu's voice came from the side:"If a son is good, then I will have a son." She walked over with a warm smile on her face.

We hurriedly saluted Duan Xuefu, and she whispered:"Is Ah Shi asleep?"

He Yahan replied:"Aunt, Ah Shi just fell asleep."

Duan Xuefu said with a smile:"Han'er, the fragrance of our family is still there. I need you to continue, thank you for your hard work."

He Yahan smiled and responded:"Aunt, I know."

At this time, Duan Jinxu walked to Duan Xuefu and said like a spoiled child:"Aunt, don't worry, we will give birth to you when the time comes. There are seven or eight of them. Don’t be dissatisfied with having too many children."

Duan Xuefu patted his hand with a smile and said,"I will only be happy then. Our Duan family has never been very prosperous, but yours is The only child in our family. Seven or eight children are still too few."

Duan Jinxu pretended to be scared and said,"Aunt, please spare me. I really want to have seven or eight children."

Everyone was impressed by his behavior. The remark made me laugh heartily.

Duan Xuefu said:"Please stay in Kunning Palace for lunch at noon." Then she turned around and ordered:"Go and ask the imperial doctor to come over!"

Duan Jinxu asked with concern:"Aunt, are you feeling unwell?"

Duan Xuefu Smiling, she took my hand and said,"Let me show you my body for the stars."

I nodded and followed Duan Xuefu into her dormitory.

The imperial doctor walked into the palace and saluted us. The queen motioned for him to come forward and check my pulse. The imperial doctor put a silk scarf on his right wrist, began to carefully diagnose the pulse, and then switched to his left hand.

After the pulse diagnosis, the imperial doctor said:"The Crown Princess is in good health and there is nothing abnormal." The queen nodded with satisfaction and said,"Xingxing, please go back and rest first."

I saluted the queen and walked out of Kunning Palace. Seeing Hongmei standing in the distance, I said to her:"Go and tell the good concubine that you don't have to pay your respects today." Hongmei bowed respectfully and left.

I slowly walked toward the back hall, feeling like something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

At this time, Duan Jinxu came up and asked with concern:"Sister-in-law, are you feeling well?"

I nodded, but the anxiety in my heart did not dissipate. Duan Jinxu thought I was worried about the planned things, so he comforted me:"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. We just need to be patient and wait for the opportunity." I smiled slightly, but the uneasiness in my heart became stronger.

In the queen's palace, Duan Xuefu sat on the phoenix chair with a solemn expression. She raised her eyes to look at Dr. Li who was standing aside, and said with a hint of urgency in her tone:"Doctor Li, does the Crown Princess's body need nourishment? I hope she can give birth to an heir as soon as possible."

Dr. Li lowered his head slightly, with a slight expression on his face. Seems weird. He knew in his heart that the Crown Princess' virginity was an extremely sensitive topic. After a moment of silence, he resolutely knelt down and knelt on the ground.She bowed her hands and her voice trembled slightly:"Empress, please forgive me for the death penalty."

Duan Xuefu raised her eyebrows slightly, with a trace of doubt in her expression:"What's the matter?"

Dr. Li took a deep breath, with a sudden heart, and said resolutely:"The Crown Princess is still a virgin." As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to freeze.

There was no trace of surprise on Duan Xuefu's face, but her eyes were so deep that it was impossible to see through her thoughts. She asked calmly:"Can you confirm?"

Although Dr. Li was worried, he still said firmly:"I'm telling the truth."

Duan Xuefu nodded lightly, her tone still calm:"You go to the good concubine in the East Palace for consultation. , come back to my words again. Remember not to reveal a single word of what you say today."

"promise." Imperial Physician Li replied respectfully, and then exited the palace. His steps were a little heavy, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

After a while, Imperial Physician Li came back and knelt down and said,"My good concubine is also a virgin.

Duan Xuefu's face stiffened and she said calmly:"I know, please step back." Give them some nourishing medicine."

Li Yuyi retreated tremblingly and exhaled a breath.

Duan Xuefu stood up immediately, with an anxious look on her face. She ordered:"Let's go to Qianqing Palace!" Her voice was firm and urgent, full of urgency.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhao Chengyang was lowering his head in deep thought, with a focused and serious expression. Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from outside the door:"The Queen has an audience." He raised his head and saw Duan Xuefu hurriedly walked in.

Zhao Chengyang waved to all the palace attendants to retreat. The palace door slowly closed, and the room fell into a brief silence. He looked at Duan Xuefu's serious face and knew what was going on. The seriousness of it, asked:"What happened again?"

Duan Xuefu threw herself directly into Zhao Chengyang's arms, choked with sobs and told Dr. Li's diagnosis. Her voice was trembling and sad, and Zhao Chengyang said in shock:"But didn't Luo Hong prove it?

Duan Xuefu said dullly,"It should be that stupid kid Huan'er who did it." I originally thought Rou'er was a well-behaved child, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Huan'er had perfunctorily told me that he only regarded Rou'er as my sister, but it turned out that he didn't mean this. Over the years, we have given him different women, and he said he didn't like them all. We thought he liked stars, but we didn’t expect that he wasn’t even good at stars."

Zhao Chengyang analyzed calmly:"Since Xing'er and Huan'er got together, there has been constant laughter in their room every night, and Huan'er is also very happy. You can also see him smiling when he goes to court. Huan'er likes Xing'er, but she doesn't know if Xing'er still doesn't have feelings for Huan'er?"

After listening to Zhao Chengyang's words, Duan Xuefu sat up straight, took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and said:"Xingxing is not like a person without affection, otherwise there would be no need to raise that issue. Counted. She stared at Zhao Chengyang again and said,"

I have a plan to try. As long as……"

After listening to Duan Xuefu’s plan, Zhao Chengyang was a little worried:"Will this make Xing’er……"

Duan Xuefu interrupted:"As a mother, I can only do this. Don't you want to hold the emperor's grandson?"

Zhao Chengyang was defeated and sighed:"Then I will carefully consider what they proposed and make a good plan. You can give it a try."

Duan Xuefu nervously held Zhao Chengyang's hand and said,"This plan must be foolproof without any accidents." Her eyes were full of anxiety and expectation.

Zhao Chengyang held her hand tightly and said firmly:"Don't worry, trust me. But after you do this, aren't you afraid that Xing'er will be angry or regret it and reveal this plan?"

Duan Xuefu smiled helplessly and said,"Xing'er I'm kind-hearted and just let her hate me. As long as I succeed after trying it, I'll be relieved. As long as Huan'er is healthy, it doesn't matter if this plan doesn't work." There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in her tone.
