The carriage curtain was lifted, and Shen Shu looked at the doorplate of the Prince's Mansion, feeling a little anxious.

The nanny in front said impatiently: "Miss San, now it is the Queen's order, Miss San can enter the East Palace, no one dares to stop her."

The corners of Shen Shu's lips curled up slightly, and she felt both excited and scared.

Because this time, it was the Queen who asked her to come.

She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, unable to suppress her joy, and walked towards the East Palace.

In the private room, candles were lit.

The queen sat upright in her chair with a blank expression on her face.

Next to her was a doctor carrying a medicine box on his back. The doctor was stroking his beard, as if he was also waiting for something.

After a while, the nanny came in from outside with Shen Shu.

After Shen Shu entered the private room, she saw that the queen had an expressionless face and cold eyes, so she immediately knelt down and saluted the queen.

"Your humble servant Shen Shu pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

The queen's expression was indifferent. She tapped the table lightly with one hand, and her eyes were indeed looking at her closely.

Shen Shu lay on the ground, her body trembling slightly. After a while, she heard the queen's calm voice.

"Get up and sit here."

The Queen pointed to the chair next to her.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Shu then stood up and walked to the chair next to the Queen.

She pursed her lips and spoke carefully, "I wonder if the Queen would allow this servant to come..."

The queen glanced at her and Shen Shu immediately shut up.

The queen ordered the doctor beside her, "Take her pulse."

"Yes, ma'am."

The doctor walked over, held Shen Shu's wrist and took her pulse.

In less than a moment, the court doctor stopped.

"My lady, the girl is not in any serious condition now. She is at a suitable age to have children."

"It's just..." The doctor's words died on his lips.

The Queen asked, "Just what?"

The doctor added: "The girl seems to have taken a lot of contraceptive pills before."

"The effect of the medicine has almost dissipated now, and it won't affect the girl's fertility."

The queen turned her head and looked at Shen Shu, "Contraceptive medicine?"

"Why are you taking contraceptive pills for no reason?"

"Don't you want to enter the East Palace? Or are you and Jing'er just playing around?"

Shen Shu was so scared that she got up from her chair and immediately knelt on the ground.

The queen glanced at the doctor in front of her. The doctor nodded, picked up the medicine box and walked out the door.

After the person left, the door of the private room was closed tightly.

There were only Shen Shu and the Queen inside.

"Go ahead."

Shen Shu took a deep breath, reached out and grabbed her dress, her palms almost sweating.

She whispered, "Brother Crown Prince said that it is not the right time for us to have a child, so he asked me to drink the contraceptive medicine."

"I have been with the Crown Prince for two years. Almost every time, the Crown Prince would ask me to drink the wall medicine before he would feel at ease."

The queen lowered her eyes. She didn't expect that this was the reason why Shen Shu couldn't conceive.

But now that the prince has won the ninth-grade red medal, it might not be appropriate even if Shen Shu is asked to get pregnant with the prince's child.

Thinking of this, she could only follow the method given by Duke Lin.

Her expression softened, and she stood up from her chair with a faint smile on her face.

It seems as gentle as water, but it actually hides a mystery.

"From now on, you don't have to take birth control pills."

"You will stay in the East Palace for the next few days. I will find a doctor to treat you."

Shen Shu was a little surprised. This was the first time the queen was so gentle to her.

A look of joy appeared on her face, and she asked excitedly, "Empress, is it true?"

The queen smiled faintly, "I never lie to anyone."

She called out, "Madame Zhang."

Nanny Zhang then pushed the door open and came in, "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

The Queen said, "Arrange Miss Shen San to stay at Mingshui Pavilion, and have the doctor prepare medicinal food for her starting tomorrow."

Her eyes were gentle, "I am still hoping that you can give me a little grandson in the future."

Shen Shu was overjoyed and thanked the queen repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Shu'er will never forget the queen's kindness."

"kindness."

After Shen Shu met the queen, Nanny Zhang took her to Mingshui Pavilion.

Mingshui Pavilion is located in the southern courtyard of the East Palace, a little far from the prince's courtyard.

But for Shen Shu, being able to enter the Eastern Palace is already a great blessing.

She sat in the private room, too excited to speak.

The maids Bailu and Tianshuang happily made her bed and cleaned the room.

"Miss, you finally made it."

"As the saying goes, if you wait, the clouds will clear and the moon will appear."

Shen Shu smiled and said, "I hope so."

She put down what she was holding, turned around, walked out of Mingshui Pavilion, and headed towards the prince's courtyard.

The door opened and the prince lay on the bed, motionless, with only the sound of his faint breathing lingering.

Shen Shu's tears immediately flowed down her cheeks, "Brother Crown Prince, Shu'er is here to see you."

……

At this moment, the East Palace is in the West Garden.

After Nanny Zhang had arranged for Shen Shu, she went to the private room in the East Palace where the Queen often rested.

"My lady, it's arranged."

The queen got up from the couch and handed an exquisite box to Nanny Zhang.

"There's an incense in here."

"Tonight, have someone light it up at Mingshui Pavilion."

Nanny Zhang held the incense, her hands trembling slightly.

"My lady, if the prince knew about this in the future, I'm afraid..."

The queen's eyes changed slightly, and she suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Jing'er won't know."

"As for Shen Shu, she won't know either."

"Go down and get it done."

"At night, have someone secretly bring the eldest son to the East Palace."

Aunt Zhang nodded, "Yes, Madam."

Looking at Nanny Zhang's back as she left, the Queen's eyes darkened slightly and she reached out and tapped the table lightly.

Late at night in the East Palace, the lights went out and there was silence.

A carriage came to the side door of the west courtyard, and soon a young man in black clothes got out of the carriage.

The young man was about twenty years old, not much older than the crown prince.

Judging from his features, he does look a bit like the prince.

The man was wearing a black bamboo hat. He looked around and saw nothing unusual. Then, led by a maid, he went to the queen's private room.

The door of the private room was closed. When the queen saw someone coming, she hurried over.

"Ci'er, you're here."

The man nodded, took off his black hat and placed it on the table.

"I have received the letter. I will do whatever my mother wants me to do."

The queen curled her lips slightly and pulled the person to sit on the chair.

"Today, you just follow Madam's instructions."

"I'll send someone to pick you up in the next few days."

"If you come on time, mother will never let you regret it."

The man nodded and whispered, "My son will not let his mother down."

"Mother, please arrange whatever you want."

The queen curled her lips slightly and reached out to touch the man's cheek.

"Ci'er, you must help your brother."

Lan Ci had no expression on his face and nodded, "Mother wants Ci'er to replace the original with a fake one?"

"If... my brother knew."

The queen quickly shook her head, "Ci'er, he won't know, don't worry."

"Mother did it all for him."

……

At three o'clock in the morning, the sound of night watchmen was heard from the street outside the East Palace.

A man in black entered Mingshui Garden where Shen Shu was and lit a cigarette.

Scent of cigarette smoke filled the air as he entered the private room.

At midnight, the moonlight falls on the courtyard.

A dark shadow, led by a nanny, pushed open the door of the private room.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and Shen Shu was lying quietly on the bed, sleeping soundly.

After Lan Ci entered the private room, he took off his clothes and went straight to her side.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he leaned over and kissed her.
