In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Wenren Qichi covered his mouth, feeling his blood surging within him, unable to speak.

He had been feeling inexplicably unwell for the past two days, unable to eat or sleep well, and this was especially true after he entered Fengdu today, when he couldn't help but feel even more uncomfortable in the court.

Chen Jingshu, who was supporting Su Yueyao, was the first to react when he saw her shocked expression.

“My lady… let’s go first. If you stay here, he will feel even worse.”

"I...I...have...and...uh..." Before Su Yueyao could finish speaking, Chen Jingshu covered her mouth.

He smiled and said to the ministers who had not yet left, "Colleagues, if there's nothing else, you can go back now. We have some things to take care of."

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the hall suppressed their curiosity and turned to leave. After that, only Chen Jingshu, Wenren Qichi, Wen Fu, Pu An, and Gongyang Ruoyu remained in the hall.

Chen Jingshu released his hand from Su Yueyao's mouth.

"My lady...we must leave quickly, otherwise..."

But Su Yueyao hadn't reacted yet, exclaiming, "I... how could this be? My belly... is Wenren's... no... how could this be... I didn't eat any fertility-enhancing fruits!"

Su Yueyao stared in shock at her stomach, then pointed at Wenren Qichi, her words tumbling out incoherently.

Meanwhile, Pu An, who was supporting Gong Yang not far away, exclaimed in surprise, "Gong Yang, are you... feeling unwell? Are you feeling nauseous?"

"Hmph..." Gongyang Ruoyu groaned, clutching his chest, leaning almost against Pu An. His face was pale, and he looked like he was in great pain.

Su Yueyao was completely stunned. These...the two of them? No way! How did she get infected? No, how did they get infected?

When did the ram sleep with her?

"Qi Chi, Gong Yang, you..." Before Su Yueyao could finish speaking, Wenren Qi Chi covered his mouth and started gagging.

"Ugh..."

"Chi'er..."

Chen Jingshu looked at Wenren Qichi, who had already started gagging, and then at Gongyang, who was clutching his chest but not gagging. A chill ran down his spine. Wenren's reaction was stronger than Gongyang's; he... he was pregnant with multiples...

Is this...is this some kind of unexpected good thing? Something to be happy about?

This... was something that made them all happy; his suffering had only just begun!

Should we discuss with the wife about staying at his house tonight?

Thinking back to how much trouble Wenren Qichi caused a while ago, this opportunity for revenge has come so quickly, catching them completely off guard...

"My lady...we must leave quickly, or they will suffer even more."

"Pu An, explain the situation to Uncle Wen. My wife and I will return to our residence first."

Pu An supported the pale-faced Gongyang Ruoyu, his expression unusually flustered: "His Highness should be in the inner palace. Have the Imperial Guards inform him, and you and His Highness will escort the Lady back together."

"I will make the arrangements. Wenren and Gongyang are in your hands now."

"Let them calm down a bit, then we'll go back."

"Alright, the old courtyard still needs to be cleaned up quickly. My wife and I will be leaving now." Chen Jingshu felt he had a lot of things to arrange, so he took Su Yueyao's hand and walked out of the main hall.

Su Yueyao was stunned as Chen Jingshu pulled her out; this time, she was completely unprepared!

No, last time Nanfeng and the others were pregnant, because of that well water, they have been extremely careful ever since, just in case she suddenly had an attack like this. Where did it happen this time?

Was it at the Wen residence that you drank water containing fertility-enhancing fruit? Or something else?

She was almost going crazy. She didn't even know exactly where she had contracted the virus. What was she going to do? She couldn't just sit around in the backyard giving birth every day without doing anything!

The key point is that seeing the men react so strongly broke her heart!

Chen Jingshu left the main hall and went directly to the gate to say to a member of the Imperial Guard, "Quickly go to the inner palace and invite the eldest prince to the palace gate. Tell him that his wife has something urgent to attend to, and he should come immediately."

"Yes, Lord Chen, I'll take care of it right away!" Seeing Chen Jingshu's anxious look, the Imperial Guard didn't dare to delay and left immediately.

"Go and inform the deputy commander to send a squad of imperial guards to the palace gate to escort Lady Su back to her residence in a little while."

"And you, go and inform the master of the Su family to immediately prepare the side courtyard of the prince's residence."

The assigned imperial guards bowed and immediately went their separate ways.

Just as Chen Jingshu, who had made the arrangements, was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that his wife was still standing there.

"My lady... don't think about it anymore. We'll investigate how you got infected at the Wen residence when we get back. The most important thing now is to get back to the residence as soon as possible."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the minister who just saw it will figure it out soon and know what's going on. Then everyone in Fengdu will know that the Lady is going to have another child."

"People who want to join in the fun and share in the joy of the wife's pregnancy will flock here. His Majesty will probably find out soon and summon you."

Su Yueyao realized what was happening and immediately nodded: "Jing Shu, let's hurry back to the manor."

Chen Jingshu helped Su Yueyao walk quickly toward the palace gate.

As they approached the palace gate, a sedan chair followed behind Fu'an.

"Grand Tutor Su, Your Excellency, His Majesty urgently summons you. Fearing you might tire yourself out, he has specially granted you permission to travel there in a sedan chair."

Su Yueyao: “…”

"Can I not go because of my health?" Su Yueyao said irritably.

They didn't go out, even though the palace gates were so close.

"Grand Tutor, His Majesty is only worried about your health. He has already sent for Chief Physician Lu. When you leave the palace, the Imperial Guards and Phoenix Feather Guards will clear the way and escort you back safely."

"Let's go then!" Su Yueyao resignedly got into the sedan chair.

Chen Jingshu stood nervously by their side, looking around anxiously, afraid that someone or something on the ground might bump into them.

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Study, and Chen Jingshu helped Su Yueyao out of the chair.

Su Yueyao and Chen Jingshu entered the Imperial Study and saw the First Prince and Chief Physician Lu.

The eldest prince immediately went to Su Yueyao's side, helped her up, and looked her over from head to toe.

He asked anxiously, "My lady... is something wrong?"

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect this..."

"Chief Physician Lu, would you please take Grand Tutor Su's pulse?" The Empress immediately ordered Chief Physician Lu to take her son's pulse upon seeing his condition.

Su Yueyao only gave birth a short time ago, and she's pregnant again? Can she possibly fit all these babies in her backyard?

The Queen was extremely upset. How could it be so frustrating to compare oneself to others?

With so many daughters, the entire Fengdu will be her domain in the future, and all the good young men will enter her household.

"My lady, shall we have Chief Physician Lu take your pulse? I heard that Wenren has shown obvious signs of illness. We'll feel at ease once we confirm it with a pulse check," the First Prince said softly.

"Okay, Dr. Lu, please take my pulse. Yuan Yi took my pulse a few days ago, but he didn't detect any pregnancy."

The eldest prince helped Su Yueyao sit on a low stool to the side.
