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

Seeing Su Yueyao's furrowed brows, Chen Jingshu sighed and said, "My lady, don't frown. With Consort Lu and the others around, at most you'll suffer a little, but you'll live, you won't die."

Su Yueyao: “…”

They'll be alive... but once their reactions fully kick in, they might even want to die.

Su Yueyao can only pray now that not too many people are infected, otherwise they'll be in big trouble.

Chen Jingshu and the eldest prince followed the sedan chair silently without saying anything more. What had already happened was now up to the wife to accept.

It was all Wenren Qichi's doing. He had been thinking that his wife would stay in his room for a few days, but he ended up staying for a month and then she would just vomit and die.

The sedan chair carried Su Yueyao all the way to the palace gate.

At the palace gate, Cui Yiyang and Nanfeng were already waiting for her. Seeing Su Yueyao alight from the sedan chair, they quickly walked over.

"Is my wife alright?"

"His Majesty didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Nanfeng and Cui Yiyang spoke at the same time.

"I'm fine, and His Majesty didn't make things difficult for me. Let's hurry back to the manor."

"My lady, please get in the carriage first, we'll set off now." Cui Yiyang said as he helped Su Yueyao up, while gesturing for his subordinates to bring the carriage over.

Su Yueyao nodded and boarded the carriage with Chen Jingshu and the First Prince.

Afterwards, the Imperial Guards and Phoenix Feather Guards on both sides cleared the way, blocking the civilians, officials and others who wanted to come forward.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Yueyao suddenly thought of something, opened the carriage window and asked Cui Yiyang, who was riding a horse below.

"Yiyang, how long have you been guarding the palace gate? Have you seen Pu'an and the others?"

“They left the palace some time ago, so they should be back at the manor by now.” After saying this, Cui Yiyang asked with a somewhat conflicted expression, “My lady, is it confirmed?”

Su Yueyao sighed: "It's confirmed. Uncle Lu has already taken my pulse. Didn't you see Wenren and Gongyang's appearance just now?"

"We saw her, but we were quite startled, since none of us expected the wife to..."

"After we return to the manor, you should go to the Wenren residence and investigate thoroughly. I also want to know where the problem lies."

"Don't worry, my wife, we will investigate." Cui Yiyang said with a frown. Even if his wife didn't mention it, they would still investigate. Otherwise, if his wife kept falling for the virus, how could they possibly survive?

It's wonderful to be with your wife, but only if you really can't have any more children. Having a second or third child isn't about having children, it's about taking their lives.

“My lady, you didn’t see it. Pu An, who usually keeps his expression down, was completely on the verge of collapse. He was supporting Wenren, who was retching, with one hand, and Gongyang, who was pale, with the other. Behind him was Minister Wenren, who was incredulous. I didn’t even have time to process what I saw.”

After hearing what Cui Yiyang said, Su Yueyao thought of that scene and didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for them. This reaction! This is just the beginning... the hardest part is yet to come.

After that, Su Yueyao didn't want to say anything more, so she rolled down the car window. Cui Yiyang and Nanfeng stood guard in front and behind, respectively, to escort Su Yueyao back to her residence.

Even so, many people still crowded in front of the carriage, shouting.

"Ms. Su, are you pregnant again?"

"Miss Su, would you please let us share in your joy?"

"My daughter has married many men, but she hasn't been able to have a single child!"

“Ms. Su, mine is the same.”

"Lady Su, my daughter has given birth to eight sons. Please grant me some good fortune and send me a little lady..."

"Your family only has eight sons, while my daughter has given birth to more than a dozen, yet we still don't have a young lady to rule. Lady Su, please have pity on my family and send us a young lady to rule..."

"Let me pass, I want to share in the joy."

"My family wants one too..."

"Ms. Su..."

"Miss Su..."

"..."

Sitting in the carriage, Su Yueyao listened to the commotion outside and felt somewhat helpless. She really wasn't the Goddess of Fertility.

"My lady, if the news of your pregnancy gets out, our manor will be overrun with visitors again," the eldest prince said.

“If I had the ability to give my child away, I would help them too. Unfortunately, I don’t. I still don’t understand why it’s so hard for them to get pregnant, but so easy for me.”

“My lady, don’t say that in public. I’m afraid they’ll hear and want to beat you,” Chen Jingshu said.

Su Yueyao: “…”

"Didn't Yuan Yi research some drugs that improved the birth rate? Why is there still such a shortage of women?"

"It's only a little better than before, the effect isn't significant. It's like a symptom relief pill with added fertility-enhancing juice. Some women can't increase their chances of getting pregnant no matter what they take, but my wife gets pregnant easily with just a touch," Chen Jingshu explained.

"Putting aside the fact that my wife is pregnant, the key issue is that she is too prone to multiple pregnancies, which is unique in the entire Phoenix Kingdom," the eldest prince added.

Upon hearing this, Su Yueyao fell completely silent. She couldn't explain it, and neither could anyone else. After giving birth, her next thought was how to avoid getting pregnant again, instead of trying every means to have more children like other women.

Meanwhile, Pu An and his two companions had already returned to their residence.

Lu Yuanyi, Lu Yuanjin, Xun Haoxuan, Pei Yuqi, and Baili Jihua were all waiting at the door.

When they saw Wenren Qichi covering his mouth and retching, and Gongyang with a pale face clutching his chest, they were all stunned for a second.

"My lords, help them up, I'm exhausted!" Pu Anxin cried out wearily.

"Oh...we're coming, we're coming."

Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin helped Wenren Qichi up, and Lu Yuanyi's hand unconsciously touched his pulse.

Xun Haoxuan and Pei Yuqi helped Gongyang Ruoyu.

Baili Jihua walked over to Pu An, who was relieved.

"Does this confirm that the wife is pregnant again?"

"They're both like this, how can we not be sure? Has the side courtyard been cleaned up yet? Send them there! My wife will be back soon, and what about my lord? He..."

"My lord... has also been feeling unwell these past two days. Judging from the situation, I think he will probably have to move to a side courtyard as well," Baili Jihua said with a sigh.

"What? The lord has also reacted?" Pu An looked at Baili Jihua in shock.

"Yes! Although I don't want to vomit, I feel tightness in my chest and it's uncomfortable, similar to the reaction of a ram."

Urayasu was completely bewildered. How did they get infected?! How did they get infected? Even their lord was caught in the crossfire!

At this moment, Wen's father, who had been silently waiting, walked weakly to their side and asked incredulously, "Inspector Pu, Young Master Baili, is it really just because Yueyao is pregnant with their child that they are doing this?"
