Peach Blossom.

Unable to find out where her biological mother was buried from the Shen family, Si Rong had to try hard to think of other ways.

Si Rong quickly thought of Shang Yun. Shang Yun had followed Si Yuan for the longest time and should be the person who knew the most about Si Yuan.

However, when they went to Shang Yun's mansion to inquire about it, Shang Yun only said, "When Emperor Xiaozong sent me to Yongchang, my mistress had already passed away and I don't know where she is now."

Si Rong and Chen Ji asked several old friends from Yongchang, both masters and servants, but unfortunately no one knew the answer.

Si Rong was very regretful. She had been asking around and had become a joke. Everyone in the city knew that she, the eldest princess of the dynasty, could not even figure out where her biological mother was buried.

More importantly, her failure to complete the task assigned by Si Xiu would also make Si Xiu lose face.

"It's all your fault. Why did you mention relocating the burial place in front of all the officials? Now we can't find my mother's grave. What should I do?" Si Rong has been searching for it in vain and has reprimanded Chen Ji many times.

"sorry."

"What's the use of saying sorry? What I'm asking now is how I am going to report to the government? What should I do? What should I do?" Si Rong got angry at Chen Ji, her voice getting louder and louder.

Chen Ji suggested in a gentle voice: "You have been too tired these days because of this matter. You can't run around anymore. I caused this trouble. I will find a way to find out myself."

Si Rong immediately stopped him, "No! Don't even think of finding an excuse to leave my sight and go out alone!"

After hearing this, Chen Ji finally understood. Now, Si Rong was too lazy to even pretend and was directly making it clear that she was under personal surveillance on him.

He smiled coldly, helpless: "I just want to solve the problem, how can I find any "excuse"? Can you send a confidant to follow me and watch me?"

Si Rong could tell that Chen Ji's words were full of sarcasm, which made her even more angry: "That's my mother. If I don't have any connections to ask around, how can you possibly be better than me?"

Si Rong's roar became louder and louder, and it almost sounded like a scream, making Chen Ji's ears hurt.

Maybe it was because the roar was too loud and too strenuous, or because of the days of running around, but before the date of delivery estimated by the imperial physician, Si Rong suddenly began to have severe abdominal pain and her face turned pale.

Seeing Si Rong stop yelling and slowly covering her abdomen with her hands, Chen Ji was startled and hurriedly supported her, "What's wrong with you?"

"I... my stomach hurts..." Si Rong's voice became much softer, but on this cold winter day, beads of sweat the size of beans gradually appeared on her forehead.

Chen Ji hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial physician, and asked several midwives who had been prepared in the mansion to come and serve, and then he personally helped Si Rong back to her room.

Someone reported that the imperial physician had arrived, and Chen Ji anxiously went out to see, only to find that it was an imperial physician named Jiang Wen.

"Isn't Doctor Tian here?" Chen Ji was a little worried. Everyone in the court knew that the one with the best Chinese medicine skills among the imperial doctors was undoubtedly the Imperial Physician Tian Yuan.

"The Queen is not feeling well, and Imperial Physician Tian has gone to the palace. Don't worry, Your Excellency. I was Imperial Physician Tian's senior brother, so it will be the same if I were to diagnose and treat the Queen." Jiang Wen was full of confidence and went in as he spoke.

Chen Ji was speechless after hearing this, thinking: "Since you entered the master's sect first, how could he be made the imperial physician?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ji felt even more uneasy, and hurried back into the house, chasing after Jiang Wen: "She is still a long way from giving birth, I'm afraid..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Chen Ji vaguely heard Si Rong talking inside the tent.

"How can you let him talk to someone alone? Go and take care of him!" Si Rong grabbed Xiaoying's hand and said only one sentence before screaming in pain again.

The whole room was filled with Si Rong's cries of pain. Chen Ji stood there quietly, forgetting that he was still chasing Jiang Wen to talk. He didn't expect that even though Si Rong was in so much pain, she still remembered clearly to monitor him.

Jiang Wen had already gone in to take Chen Ji's pulse, but he was walking out of the house.

Sure enough, Xiaoying, Wanqiu and other maids soon followed out and stood beside Chen Ji.

Chen Ji stood under the eaves, listening to the deafening shouts coming from inside the house. He just leaned his forehead against the pillar, wanting to cry or laugh.

After tossing and turning all night, at dawn when the cock crowed, Chen Ji heard the cry of a child.

Chen Ji was so excited that the sleepiness he felt after staying up all night disappeared in an instant. He hurried into the room and saw Jiang Wen coming out.

"Congratulations, Duke. It's a little boy, but he was born prematurely and is a little thin. The princess was also very weak. Fortunately, they both survived the brink of death..." After Jiang Wen finished his congratulations, he left quickly.

Chen Ji walked in again and heard a midwife talking to Si Rong's personal maid Miao Hong: "This imperial doctor Jiang is so slow and took so long to stop the bleeding. The princess lost so much blood in vain. If imperial doctor Tian was here, she would have recovered a long time ago."

Si Rong panted and opened her eyes slightly. After hearing what they said, she asked weakly, "Why don't you ask... Doctor Tian?"

Miao Hong replied: "Princess, it is said that the Queen has summoned Doctor Tian into the palace."

"Hmph...what disease could she have..." Si Rong's face turned pale, but she still couldn't help venting her emotions.

"Don't be angry. Fortunately, you and your child are safe, right?" Chen Ji sat down beside the bed, holding Si Rong's hand and comforting her, "Rest well and recover slowly."

Si Rong had no choice but to nod and said, "Bring the child here, I'll take a look."

Chen Ji also looked up and saw Miao Hong approaching with the child in her arms.

"Princess, look, don't the little prince's eyes and eyebrows resemble the late emperor Chengzong?" Miao Hong squatted down and placed the child in front of Si Rong.

Chen Ji looked carefully and found that they really looked alike. Unconsciously, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"It's fine, but too thin." Si Rong smiled warmly, gently holding the child's hand, her eyes full of love.

Afterwards, Chen Ji sent someone to inform Si Xiu of the good news that Si Rong had given birth to a son.

When Si Xiu got the news, he discussed with Wang Yu to go visit Si Rong and their newborn baby together.

"If you want to go, you go. I won't go." Wang Yu refused without thinking.

Si Xiu tried to persuade her earnestly, "You know very well that my father loved my sister the most, and my brother-in-law commands a large army. Although you and I are the emperor and empress, we are too young and our connections are far inferior to theirs. Besides, she is my biological sister. For both public and private reasons, we should go there."

"Why are you talking about all this? I'm not stopping you from going! What I said is that I don't want to go." Wang Yu shook his sleeves and sat on the edge of the bed in annoyance.

Si Xiu also walked over and persuaded with a smile: "For this kind of thing, the female relatives usually interact with each other. If I go and you don't, it will look awkward. Besides, if we go together, people outside will think that the emperor and the empress are in harmony and the world is at peace."

"I just don't want to go!" Wang Yu was extremely impatient and pushed Si Xiu away capriciously.

Si Xiu stared at Wang Yu for a while, very puzzled: "What's wrong with you? I remember you were nice to my sister before, why do you always speak sarcastically when you mention her recently?"

"I'm not targeting her..." Wang Yugang opened her mouth, but didn't know how to continue, because after all, the fact that Chen Ji killed her mother was just Wang Jing's speculation.

But this speculation has already caused a huge uproar in her heart.

"I know you're not targeting her, so come with me to see her and the child, okay?" Si Xiu sat next to Wang Yu and put his hand on Wang Yu's hand: "I beg you, okay?"

Wang Yu glanced at Si Xiu. She knew that as a king, Si Xiu was so humble to her. She should be content and not lose her temper.

"We'll just go for the occasion. I won't force you in the future. We are husband and wife, so please help me once, just once..."

Seeing Si Xiu's sincere words, Wang Yu really didn't know how to refuse.

The next day, the emperor and empress arrived at the Duke of Qiao’s mansion in a carriage.

When Si Rong heard this, she hurriedly called the maid to bring clothes and prepared to go out to greet him.

Chen Ji saw this and came over to dissuade him: "You are in confinement, just lie down, I will be there to welcome the emperor."

"No, Your Majesty has condescended to come down, how can I lie down?" Si Rong said as she put on her clothes.

Chen Ji advised again: "You two have a good relationship, the government won't blame you. Look at your own face, it's almost waxy yellow!"

"He is now an emperor, and coming to visit me is already an honor to me. Even if he doesn't blame me, it will be inappropriate for outsiders to see it." Si Rong tidied her hair a little, and didn't even have time to put it in a bun. She quickly leaned out to take a look, "I think the weather is okay today, it's okay."

Xiaoying put a cloak on Sirong, and Sirong asked Miaohong to hold the child and went out.

Chen Ji had no choice but to go along.

They went out of the second door and saw Si Xiu and Wang Yu coming in. The dragon and phoenix sedan chair had been removed and everyone was walking, carrying several boxes of gifts behind them.

Si Rong knelt down on the spot and bowed deeply: "I kowtow to the emperor. Long live the emperor, and long live the queen."

Chen Ji and others followed suit.

"Sister, please get up." Si Xiu came over quickly and helped Si Rong up with both hands. "Sister, you are weak after giving birth. How can you come out? Isn't this disturbing your rest?"

"I am so happy that the emperor has stepped on the land of a humble person. How could I be sick?" Si Rong looked up and saw that Si Xiu was still as friendly as before, but there was no smile on Wang Yu's face. His eyes were wandering left and right, and it was unclear where his gaze was.

Wang Yu was also very angry. For Si Xiu's sake, she had finally convinced herself to come and take part in the event. However, she didn't expect that when she came, she heard Si Rong only calling her "Empress" when she kowtowed!

Although no formal ceremony of enthroning the empress had been held, Wang Yu was the Crown Princess married to Si Xiu from the very beginning. The harem of the previous dynasty had already called her "Empress Dowager", but Si Rong insisted on calling her that.

"Although it's sunny today, it's winter after all. Sister, you'd better go back to the house as soon as possible." Si Xiu didn't pay attention to Si Rong's address at all, and didn't know that Wang Yu was angry again. He just supported Si Rong and walked inside together.

Because Si Xiu and Si Rong were walking in the front row, Wang Yu and Chen Ji could only follow behind them. A group of maids and attendants from the palace and the mansion followed behind Wang Yu and Chen Ji, and they formed a long dragon.

Chen Ji and Wang Yu seldom met each other. They walked side by side without saying anything, which was inevitably a bit awkward. Chen Ji smiled and called to Miao Hong, who was holding the child behind him: "Hurry up and bring the child over to show the Queen. This is the first time the Queen has visited my humble abode."

When Miao Hong heard this, she quickly picked up the child and walked faster to join Wang Yu and Chen Ji.

However, Wang Yu ignored Chen Ji and never even looked at the child.

Chen Ji's face was filled with even greater embarrassment.

Si Zheng was asking Si Rong about her recent situation, but he also heard Chen Ji's words. He didn't see Wang Yu's response, so he felt something was wrong and turned around to smooth things over: "I haven't seen my little nephew either. Hurry and bring him here to have a look."

Miao Hong quickly brought the child to Si Xiu, who took it directly and held it in his arms, saying with a smile: "This child is really good-looking, just like her sister... just a little thin, but she will grow up slowly..."

While Si Rong was laughing along with Si Xiu, she noticed Wang Yu's nonchalant look.

After Si Xiu carried the child, he inevitably walked a little slower, and the space behind was not very wide, so Wang Yu simply walked outside the long queue.

Si Rong couldn't bear to watch it anymore, she stopped and said something unpleasant: "Since Your Majesty has no intention of seeing the child, why do you have to force yourself to do so? I am a humble servant, so the child will not be worthy of Your Majesty's approval."

Chen Ji hurriedly grabbed Si Rong's sleeve and whispered, "Rong'er, how can you talk to the Queen like this?"

"In the eyes of the princess, there is no such thing as a 'queen'? She calls her 'heroine' every time. Are you hoping that the emperor will appoint another queen?" Wang Yu was blunt and his response was very blunt.

Si Xiu returned the child to Miao Hong, and immediately explained to Wang Yu on behalf of Si Rong: "How could my sister mean this? Don't worry about it..."

"Your Majesty, you are off topic. This is exactly what I meant!" Si Rong was furious and interrupted Si Xiu's words, shouting at the top of her voice: "It has been almost a year since Your Majesty took the throne as the Crown Prince, and there is still no sign of pregnancy. I'm afraid you are infertile. How can you still be worthy of being the Queen? For the sake of your heirs, Your Majesty should make plans earlier!"

"The princess was easy to give birth to, but she gave birth to a baby who is as dry as firewood. I don't know how long he can live..." Before Wang Yu could finish his retort, Si Xiu covered his mouth.

Si Xiu didn't expect Wang Yu to be so abusive. Without any better ideas, he could only cover Wang Yu's mouth and scold her harshly: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are the mother of the country, and you can say that!"

"You are the one who is going to die!" Si Rong roared loudly, her face turned ashen with anger, and she immediately pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and rushed towards Wang Yu.

"Rong'er, don't do that!" Chen Ji tried to stop her. However, before Si Rong could rush to Wang Yu, her eyes suddenly rolled up and pouted.
