After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

July is the hottest time of the year. Lingrong couldn't eat these days and looked very haggard. Zhen Huan asked the kitchen to stew some refreshing soup for her every day, and Doctor Wen also prescribed many medicated foods to nourish her body.

"Okay Lingrong, if you can't drink it, don't drink it. Try it later!" Zhen Huan sat on the bed and looked at her worriedly.

The old people all said that women’s reactions during pregnancy are different. When Zhen Huan was pregnant, her appetite was always good, but Ling Rong might have a weaker constitution and felt tired and had no appetite all day long.

Juqing handed over a handkerchief. An Lingrong gently wiped the soup stains from the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly, "Sister, am I useless? I can't do anything well on weekdays. Now that I'm pregnant, my body is not doing well. I don't know what the baby I give birth to will look like in ten months?" Lingrong sighed.

Zhen Huan frowned slightly and consoled him, "Maybe it's because the weather is hot in summer. Even a good person like me can't eat or sleep, not to mention you have a little baby in your belly. Fortunately, the weather will turn cooler after this month, and everything will be fine then."

Ling Rong lowered her head and looked at her belly, "This little guy, I hope he comes out soon, so I can take a break."

At this time, Xiao Yunzi stumbled in, "My lady, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

"What happened? Why are you so flustered? Be careful not to bump into An Changzai."

Xiao Yunzi knelt on the ground hurriedly, "Please forgive me, my lady and An Changzai. This is all my fault. But now I would like to ask my lady to go to Xianyue Pavilion to check. Concubine Hui...she just fainted for some reason."

"What? Take me to see it!" Zhen Huan stood up quickly and almost fell down.

Lingrong also struggled to get up, but was held down by Zhen Huan, "Lingrong, don't worry, take a good rest. I'll let Xiao Yunzi tell you if there's any news later."

"But Sister Mei..."

"Maybe it's like you. She fainted because she didn't have any food in the summer. It's not appropriate for you to run around while you're pregnant."

An Lingrong nodded. That was right. If she went there, it might make others worry. Instead of causing trouble there, it would be better for her to sit in the palace and wait.

In Xianyue Pavilion, Concubine Hui dismissed her attendants and left only Caiyue guarding the door. She was lying on the bed, and Wen Shichu was kneeling beside the bed with his head down, not daring to look at her.

"Why don't you raise your head, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"Your humble servant...your humble servant..." Wen Shichu stuttered and couldn't utter anything for a long time.

Sister Mei suddenly smiled and asked, "How is my body?"

"Your Excellency...Your Excellency has been pregnant for almost a month."

"Really?" Sister Mei's eyes flashed with determination, as if she had known it for a long time and was just confirming it at this moment.

Wen Shichu nodded, and asked with trembling lips: "If you count carefully, it should be the 23rd, but that night..."

Sister Mei nodded again, "Yes!"

Wen Shichu didn't expect that Concubine Hui would admit it so calmly. He lowered his head and said, "Your humble servant... this is all my fault, Concubine Hui. I couldn't control myself for a moment. I really didn't expect that on that night, I would actually..."

"What's wrong, Shichu? Aren't you happy that I'm pregnant with your child?" Concubine Hui said as she reached out to touch Wen Shichu's face, but he dodged her hand.

Concubine Hui's face immediately showed disappointment, "Do you hate me? Do you hate me for letting you do such a thing?"

"I don't hate you, you are my Excellency. I only hate myself for not being able to meet you earlier. Unfortunately, your status is different from mine now. I really don't know what to do..." Wen Shichu was so worried that he was about to cry. If this matter was discovered, it would be a heinous crime that would punish the entire nine generations of his family!

Mei Zhuang couldn't help but curl up her lips, "Are you telling the truth? Don't you regret what happened that day?"

"I don't regret it, but I'm afraid that this matter..."

"Since you don't regret it, then what is there to be afraid of? I'm pregnant with our child, you should be happy!

Now that the matter is done, I have finally heard your true feelings, and I am very satisfied. As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know about this matter. I will find a suitable opportunity as soon as possible and make the existence of this child public in the name of the emperor. You just need to help me keep it secret from others and calculate the time. "

Wen Shichu was terrified when he heard this, "Does the noble lady really want to give birth to this child?"

"My child, why can't I give birth to it?" Mei Zhuang said firmly.

Wen Shichu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, when he raised his head again, he made a decision.

"It is my great fortune to have met you in my life. Since you insist on giving birth to this child, I am the child's father and should take responsibility. I promise you today that from now on, I will only have you in my heart and will never marry again."

Mei Zhuang covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Really?"

Wen Shichu knelt on the ground and saluted her, his eyes were very sincere, and he said word by word: "What I said today is from my heart. I will never break my promise today. I hope you can rest assured."

Mei Zhuang was so moved that she shed tears, which flowed down her eyes onto the pillow. "Well, with your words today, everything I have done is worth it!"

"It is my greatest blessing to meet you in this life. If you have any instructions in the future, you can send someone to the Imperial Hospital to find me at any time. I will do my best to take good care of you and your unborn child."

As soon as he finished speaking, Caiyue came in with Zhen Huan.

"Sister Mei, how are you doing?"

Mei Zhuang quickly wiped away her tears and glanced at Wen Shichu. Doctor Wen bowed to Zhen Huan and said:

"The weather has been hot recently, and Concubine Hui refused to eat properly, so she fainted. I have already written a prescription and will ask Caiyue to go with me to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine. She will feel much better if she takes it on time. Concubine Wan and Concubine Hui are like sisters, so you should persuade Concubine Hui to eat more."

Zhen Huan was a little surprised. Doctor Wen was never a talkative person, so why did he seem to be concerned about Sister Mei in his words and deeds today? However, she was only thinking about Sister Mei's health, so she didn't think any more about it.

She glanced at Wen Shichu, walked quickly to the bedside and sat down, stroking Sister Mei's face. She found that she seemed to have just cried, and asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?"

Mei Zhuang blinked guiltily, "I'm fine. When I woke up just now, I felt my eyes were a little sore. If I had something wrong, how could I hide it from you? Okay, don't worry. I see that you don't look well, but are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask Doctor Wen to take a look?"

Zhen Huan grabbed Mei Zhuang's hand and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine. It's you and Ling Rong, both of you can't eat or sleep well, and you're making me worried!"
