The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

While promising Xie Chenyi the position of Crown Prince, Prince Fenyang warned Xie Chenyi not to offend the Meng family, otherwise the entire Xie family would be in trouble.

Xie Chenyi nodded silently, with no expression on his face, but under his wide robe, his grip on Meng Wenyao's hand unconsciously tightened a little.

Prince Fenyang was afraid that Xie Chenyi would get upset and treat Meng Wenyao badly, so he thought for a moment and promised, "There have been a lot of changes at home recently, so don't go back to the border. I'm old now, and it's time for me to take care of the things at home."

This means that the housekeeper power will also be handed over to Xie Chenyi. It can be seen that Prince Fenyang at this time has no intention of leaving anything for Bao mother and son.

The princess was delighted to hear this and hurried forward to say, "Chen Yi, Wen Yao, you must live a good life in the future. Your father and I, as well as this palace, are counting on you in the future."

As she spoke, the princess took off the bracelet on her hand and put it on Meng Wen Yao herself.

"This is what the old princess put on me when I entered the palace. This is a token from the mistress of our palace. Keep it well."

"Your marriage was arranged too hastily, and it was inconvenient to hold a wedding due to the complexity of other matters. If there is a chance in the future, your father and I will definitely help you hold a proper wedding."

"Yes, yes, yes." King Fenyang immediately responded.

"You guys live a good life. When you have a child in a year or so, your father will definitely give you a grand celebration for the full moon."

Prince Fenyang had no doubt about Xie Chenyi's fertility. He thought that if Meng Wen Yao had a child in the future, the Meng family would not make a fuss and this turmoil would probably be completely over. Therefore, he was looking forward to Meng Wen Yao giving birth to a child as soon as possible.

He patted Xie Chenyi on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I am old now, and I hope to have a grandson soon."

After hearing this, the princess, who was in a joyful mood just now, now became extremely nervous. She knew that Xie Chenyi was not in good health, so would this affect his fertility?

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, fearing that Prince Fenyang would notice something. She only thought about fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures every day in the hope that Meng Wen Yao would get pregnant soon.

Bao, who was pretending to be half dead, watched Meng Wenyao become Xie Chenyi's wife so smoothly. Prince Fenyang also gave Xie Chenyi the position of crown prince and the power of head of the family in a minute. She felt that her future was bleak. When she heard that Prince Fenyang wanted to have a grandson, she immediately thought of the medicine that Xie Chenyi had taken. She was so excited that she almost laughed.

“There is always a way out!”

She muttered quietly, thinking that if Xie Chenyi couldn't have children in the future, the palace would have to rely on Xie Jinbao for inheritance.

Even though Xie Jinbao's reputation is ruined and he is charged with murdering his brother, Prince Fenyang cannot do anything to him as long as he is the only one who can inherit the royal family.

In this way, Mrs. Bao quickly accepted the current reality. She was waiting for the princess and Xie Chenyi to come to her for help in the future and let Xie Jinbao's child be adopted by them.

At night, Meng Wen Yao sat on the edge of the bed, still feeling dazed when she saw Xie Chenyi walking in openly. Did she just change her husband like that?

She embarrassedly sent the maid away, then walked up to Xie Chenyi and asked, "What did mother ask you to do again?"

Xie Chenyi was also a little embarrassed, and he coughed dryly and said, "Mother said that she has asked someone to find a miracle doctor, so we don't have to worry about having children for now, and let everything take its course."

Although she said to let things take their own course, it seemed that the princess was still very worried, otherwise she would not have inquired about the so-called miracle doctor.

Meng Wenyao didn't want Xie Chenyi and the princess to worry too much about having a child, so she said frankly, "Mother, you're worrying too much. Maybe we can get pregnant naturally soon, and there's nothing wrong with your body."

Speaking of this, Xie Chenyi remembered that Meng Wenyao didn't know that he was not in good health, and he couldn't explain so much.

He lowered his eyes to look at Meng Wenyao's flushed cheeks, and suddenly his heart tightened. He swallowed his saliva and said, "You are right. Then let's go to bed early. Maybe we can have good news next month."

"what!"

Before Meng Wenyao could react, she felt dizzy and was carried to the bed by Xie Chenyi. The candlelight flickered...

At this time, Bao was tossing and turning and unable to sleep. The maid came to report, "Concubine, the prince has had the third son tied up and sent to the family temple to practice Buddhism with his hair untied."

"Concubine, the Third Young Master has been sent to the Second Gate."

"Concubine, the Third Young Master has been sent to the main gate. The Prince said he should be sent away overnight. He cannot be seen by others. It would be embarrassing."

Bao's heart felt like it was being torn apart. Half of her heart was filled with hatred for Xie Jinbao for harming Xie Nan'an, and the other half was filled with hatred for her only remaining son, whom Prince Fenyang was also going to abandon.

"No rush. When Xie Chenyi fails to give birth to a child, Jin Bao will be brought back in style."

She silently comforted herself, then turned over and forced herself to fall asleep.

"I can suppress the princess for twenty years, and I can suppress her until she dies of old age without being able to raise her head. We'll just have to wait and see."

In order to prevent Meng Wen Yao from giving birth to a child, Mrs. Bao thought that since Xie Chenyi was in poor health, it would be better to drug Meng Wen Yao as well.

The next day, Meng Wen Yao woke up early and heard that the maid Ping'er was waiting for her. She couldn't help laughing. Mrs. Bao really thought she was a fool and used Ping'er to frame her again and again!

"Let her go." Meng Wen Yao said lightly.

"But..." Hua Mian said in embarrassment: "Ping'er looks very bad, as if she has been tortured a lot, and she is almost too thin to be in shape. Miss, are you really not going to ask what happened with the concubine and the third young master?"

"I don't care." Meng Wen Yao sneered. They were all dying, so why waste time.

"I heard that people are saying Ping'er is pregnant. She's so thin, maybe she's suffering from morning sickness. If we let her in, what if something happens to the baby? How can we explain it clearly?"

No matter how Ping'er knelt and begged for mercy outside, Meng Wen Yao kept the door closed tightly. Later, she even sent someone to find Mrs. Bao and ask her to take Ping'er away.

Seeing that Ping'er could no longer get close to Meng Wen Yao, Bao hated Ping'er for her incompetence and was so angry that she started to beat her.

In the past few days, Ping'er had been tortured by Xie Jinbao to the point where her life was worse than death. Now she was completely useless and she was worried that she would die at the hands of Bao sooner or later.

So she changed her previous cowardly attitude, ran away and went straight to the princess's main room.

"Help! The concubine is going to kill someone!"

In an instant, the palace was in an uproar, and even the sparrows were startled and ran out to watch the fun.

Prince Fenyang had been dealing with matters all night and was just about to close his eyes and rest for a while when he heard the report and kicked the table away in anger.

"This Bao family is becoming more and more unruly."

This was the first time in so many years that Prince Fenyang criticized Bao in public. The servants felt that the situation was changing and were too scared to say a word.

Prince Fenyang grumbled a lot, rubbed his dizzy head, and finally went to the princess's main room.

"what happened?"
