The unexpected arrival of the baby caught Song Wenjun and Xiao Ji completely off guard.

This infuriated Emperor Wen.

The royal family had finally welcomed another child, but the two almost caused it to be lost.

Emperor Wen was filled with mixed feelings of joy and anger, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Before dawn, he summoned Xiao Ji to the palace and gave him a good scolding.

Not satisfied with just scolding him, she also ordered him never to enter Song Wenjun's room again.

Emperor Wen's order greatly upset Xiao Ji, as he and Song Wenjun were newly married and deeply in love.

How could a pregnancy really separate them?

Xiao Ji retorted with dissatisfaction: "Father, I know I was wrong, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to sleep in separate rooms?"

"What's wrong with it?" Emperor Wen glared at him angrily: "Wenjun's pregnancy is unstable right now, it's inappropriate for you to still be with her."

Seeing that Emperor Wen was truly enraged, Xiao Ji dared not speak further: "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey."

Seeing that he had yielded, Emperor Wen's anger subsided somewhat: "Issue my order that Imperial Physician Li stay at the Prince of Chu's residence. It will be convenient if anything happens. You will stay obediently in the palace these days and are not allowed to return to your residence."

"How can that be?" Xiao Ji hurriedly pleaded, "Father, you can't do this."

Emperor Wen's face hardened: "What, are you going to disobey my decree?"

Xiao Ji respectfully replied, "Your subject dares not."

Emperor Wen glared at him fiercely and ordered a eunuch to prepare a side hall for Xiao Ji to live in.

Afterwards, he bestowed many gifts upon Song Wenjun.

There were more than twenty boxes.

The flowing gifts were carried into the Chu King's mansion, a stark contrast to the deserted Crown Prince's residence.

Originally, after the King of Qi appointed the Crown Prince, he was supposed to move into the Eastern Palace.

However, because the Tree of Wisdom was destroyed, they could only stay temporarily at the Prince's Palace.

We'll move them inside after the trees grow leaves.

When the news of Song Wenjun's pregnancy reached Su Rongrong's ears, she felt both envious and jealous.

Touching her flat stomach, she kept crying: "Why can everyone else give birth, but I can't?"

She has been married into the royal family for almost three years, but there is still no sign of pregnancy.

Suddenly, another idea popped into Su Rongrong's mind.

She couldn't have children, but Xiao Ling wasn't showing any signs of pregnancy either.

Could it be that King Qi is ill?

But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she was too frightened to think about it any further.

If the King of Qi cannot have children, then wouldn't the Crown Prince be without an heir?

A crown prince who cannot have children will be deposed.

Su Rongrong became more and more frightened as she thought about it, but she couldn't tell anyone about it and could only suffer in silence.

To verify her suspicions, she summoned a doctor from outside the mansion.

Under the pretext of treating the Crown Prince's health, she thought she would take Xiao Yin's pulse.

Within just a few days, Xiao Yin also developed blisters on his lips because Song Wenjun was pregnant.

He looked listless, and he was becoming increasingly impatient with Su Rongrong and Xiao Ling.

He almost pointed his finger at the two women and yelled at them for being unable to have children.

During dinner, Su Rongrong coughed lightly a few times, saying, "With the changing seasons, Your Highness should take care of your health. I've found a renowned doctor from outside the manor; perhaps he could help Your Highness get some treatment?"

Xiao Ling's heart jumped when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Yin.

At this critical juncture, Su Rongrong made such a request; wasn't that just inviting trouble?

I thought Xiao Yin would be angry, but to my surprise, he didn't object.

He was also anxious because his wives and concubines in the mansion could not have children.

In the past, he would have definitely blamed Su Rongrong, but now he also began to doubt himself.

So, under Su Rongrong's expectant gaze, he slowly nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Ling's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't believe they'd agreed to that; it was unbelievable.

However, she was happy to watch the show; she wanted to see who was truly infertile.

Soon, the old doctor came in carrying his medicine box.

First, the old doctor took Su Rongrong's pulse. He frowned slightly, then nodded: "The Crown Princess is healthy, but she is just deficient in qi and blood. She can be fine with more nourishment. In the future, she must not eat cold food."

Su Rongrong was overjoyed and almost lost her composure: "You mean, I can still have children?"

"Why can't the Crown Princess give birth while she is still young?"

Su Rongrong was so happy she almost cried, and hurriedly said, "Quick, go and let the concubine take a look."

The old doctor took Xiao Ling's pulse again and concluded that Xiao Ling was fine.

Xiao Yin suddenly tensed up. If he couldn't have children, wouldn't that be a laughing stock?

So when the old doctor looked at him, his face darkened and he said angrily, "What are you looking at me for? How can I, with my robust health, not be able to have children?"

He immediately gave the old doctor several dozen taels of silver and sent him away.

Although Su Rongrong was dissatisfied, she dared not disobey Xiao Yin, but she was secretly pleased.

She can give birth.

Finally, all these years of injustice have been cleared.

But when she heard the joyful laughter coming from the Chu Prince's mansion late at night, she was so angry that she couldn't sleep.

She wished she could take a knife, cut open Song Wenjun's belly, dig out the fetus, and put it into her own belly.

But this was just wishful thinking; there was nothing she could do about it.

The Chu King's mansion was impregnable, and in order to allow Song Wenjun to focus on her pregnancy, Emperor Wen ordered that no one was allowed to visit her.

Song Wenjun is now a precious darling, cherished and pampered by everyone.

In just a few days, Su Rongrong lost a lot of weight.

People are listless.

For the first time, Xiao Ling didn't confront her directly, but sat down beside her in a sarcastic tone: "What is the Crown Princess looking at?"

Su Rongrong turned her gaze away from the direction of the Chu Prince's residence and rolled her eyes at her: "You're really useless. You've been married for three months and there's still no sign of pregnancy."

If Xiao Ling had heard these words before, she would have been furious.

But she just smiled faintly and said sourly, "It's not certain who can't have children. Some people are lucky, having one after another."

Her words surprised Su Rongrong. She knew she was referring to Xiao Yin, but she couldn't refute them.

After all, Xiao Ling didn't say it was the Crown Prince.

Su Rongrong sighed, sensing an impending crisis.

Xiao Ling leaned closer to her and said, "There's no use in us sighing and complaining here. We should think of a solution instead."

Su Rongrong's heart skipped a beat: "What method?"

"Pregnant women can't stand being upset during the first three months. Getting angry can harm their health, and it's not certain whether the fetus can be saved," Xiao Ling said meaningfully.

Su Rongrong frowned and muttered to herself, "Getting angry is bad for your health..."

The only people who could anger Song Wenjun were her family.

The person she cares about.

Su Rongrong unconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.

She looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Speak freely."

"Men are all lustful. I don't believe His Highness Prince Chu can remain unmoved. If he has an affair with one of the concubines in the palace, then even a celestial being couldn't save him..."

Su Rongrong frowned; deep down, she didn't want to harm Xiao Ji.

After all, she liked him.
