"Your Highness, you've finally come to your senses! That's wonderful! In about half an hour, we'll be at the Holy Palace. After meeting Palace Master Murong, shall we go to the Crown Prince's residence?" Chu Wan seemed even more excited than Chu Rongqing.

"Well, after we see Murong Jing, we'll go to the Crown Prince's residence. However, Huai Nan is still under house arrest there. We can't go openly; we need to make some preparations."

And what if I told Huainan that he was my biological son? What would his reaction be? Do you think he would be happy or angry?

And you mentioned it's the first time you'll be meeting my grandson and son. Shouldn't we prepare some gifts? What do you think they'll like? Gold, silver, jade, or antique calligraphy and paintings?

Do you think it would be inappropriate for me to so abruptly go to his door to acknowledge my son? What if he doesn't believe me? Rouxue has forgotten about our past. What should I do if he doesn't believe me?

"Forget it, let's not go to the Crown Prince's residence yet. I want to resolve Rouxue's matter first. It's not too late to acknowledge our son after she remembers our past!"

"Oh dear, Your Highness, why have you become so indecisive lately? Even if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe us, don't we have other ways to make him believe us?"

"What method?" Chu Rongqing asked, puzzled.

"Your Highness, how could someone as shrewd as you not have thought of this? Of course, it's a blood test to verify kinship!" Chu Wan said helplessly.

At the same time, he thought to himself: Is my master, who fears nothing, afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will not believe him and will not acknowledge him as his biological father?

Upon hearing Chu Wan's words, Chu Rongqing's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh: "That's right, how could I forget about the blood test for kinship? Then let's stick to the original plan, go to the Holy Palace first, and then go to the Crown Prince's residence."

In the courtyard of the Mo residence in Beili City, Mo Zhixia was having a meal. The dishes on the table had been almost completely eaten. Apart from a soup, there were six dishes on the table, all of which had been eaten by Mo Zhixia.

Looking at Mo Zhixia's increasingly plump body, Ruyi hesitated to speak. This woman was not even three months pregnant yet, and normally she wouldn't even be showing. But Mo Zhixia's belly was already starting to show. This child was growing too fast!

Strangely enough, ever since taking that herbal decoction, my young lady's morning sickness during her pregnancy has completely disappeared. It's much more effective than any of the folk remedies Madam gave her before; she can eat, drink, and sleep well. Even Mo Zhixia's face looks much rounder than before.

Mo Zhixia looked at Ruyi, who seemed hesitant to speak, and frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Ruyi stepped forward and poured Mo Zhixia a cup of tea. "Miss, I feel that your belly looks much bigger than other women in the same month of pregnancy! Do you think we should talk to Madam or have the physician take your pulse to see if it's twins?"

What Ruyi really wanted to say was that the baby might be eating too much and causing it to grow too big. But she knew Mo Zhixia's temper; if she said that, she would be punished again. However, if she didn't remind her, she would also be in trouble if something happened in the future.

So after careful consideration, he chose a better reason, saying that it might be twins. This way, Mo Zhixia would definitely have the royal physician or other doctors come to check, and the lady would know.

During this period, the lady was often away from the manor. She was either at the estate to take care of next year's spring planting, or checking the accounts of the few remaining shops in the Mo family manor, as well as handling the year-end gift-giving matters within the manor.

So Liu Siwan was relieved after learning that she was no longer experiencing morning sickness, and they met less often.

Moreover, since the young lady's appetite had increased significantly after taking that medicine, she dared not let the madam know that she had taken a folk remedy. So she basically avoided the madam, even eating in her own courtyard.

Ruyi grew increasingly frightened. Could there be something wrong with the prescription? Her mistress's belly was growing far too fast. If this wasn't controlled soon, wouldn't it be dangerous when she gave birth at full term? Ruyi broke out in a cold sweat at the thought.

Mo Zhixia hesitated for a moment: "Go and find out if my mother is in the manor. If she's not, we can go out of the manor and go to Huichuntang to find a doctor to take a look. If my mother finds out that I've taken other folk remedies, she'll definitely nag me again!"

As expected, Mo Zhixia listened to her words, but she had to go outside for a consultation. However, when she heard that she was going to Huichuntang, she breathed a sigh of relief. Huichuntang was a famous medical clinic in the capital, and it was said to be owned by Shenyi Valley. The doctors there must be highly skilled and able to find out if there was a problem with the young lady's pregnancy.

"Yes, Miss, I will go and find out right away." After saying that, Ruyi turned and walked towards the door.

Mo Zhixia smiled and stroked her belly: "If it were twins, that would be great. Then the prince would have two more sons at once, and the position of princess would definitely be mine."

In the courtyard of Prince Qing's mansion, Liu Ruyan was sitting on a chaise lounge by the window, holding a book in her hand.

The maid Xiaoyun pushed open the door and entered: "My master sent a scout to report that Mo Zhixia left the manor today, and it seems she went in the direction of Huichun Hall."

After hearing Xiaoyun's words, Liu Ruyan put down her book and said, "Let her be. Taking that medicine will only increase her appetite and won't affect the child. Let's just leave it to fate. The real danger will come on the day of delivery. After that, I won't interfere. Let her live or die as she pleases. This is also a way to avenge my child."

Moreover, as a concubine of a prince, anyone with a brain wouldn't tell the doctor that she had taken folk remedies, probably to confirm whether the child in her womb was a boy or a girl.

"By the way, what has Your Highness been busy with lately?" A male voice came from the doorway just as Liu Ruyan finished speaking.

"Yan'er has missed me! I've been quite busy these past few days, and I came to see you as soon as I finished today!"

Liu Ruyan and her servant exchanged a glance. Liu Ruyan waved to Xiaoyun and said, "Go and bring over the soup that the small kitchen is making. The prince has been working hard these past few days, so this is a good way to nourish him."

Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, "This servant will go right away." Nangong Chun came to the window and sat down next to Liu Ruyan, "How have you been feeling these past few days? Is your health much better?"

Liu Ruyan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. My health is much better now. The physician comes to check my pulse every day and says that I only need to rest for a while to fully recover. I don't need to worry about it."

Nangong Chun smiled and reached out to touch Liu Ruyan's face: "Yan'er is always so sensible, how can I not love her more!"

After saying that, he took out a box from his bosom and handed it to Liu Ruyan: "This is something I specially picked out for you. Open it and see if you like it?"
