The Imperial Consort Zheng gave birth to a healthy prince who was ranked third son of the Emperor. The Emperor was overjoyed and gave his name at the first full moon of the Little Prince, Zhu Changxun, and conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort Zheng as Imperial Noble Consort Zheng.

As a result, the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng became a true concubine and rode on a cloud of dust within the imperial harem. Rumor had it that the Imperial Noble Consort and the Empress would be able to see the other end of the story.

When the words were passed down from the palace, Zhu Yijun was still in the Kunning Palace and had experienced the first month of every year. Most of the time, he slept under a blanket, and when Zhu Yijun was in a good mood, Wang Rong didn't push him. Wang Rong said indifferently. It wasn't made of porcelain, so could it be that serving His Majesty would cause him to break into pieces?

It might be because he hadn't seen Dunlun in many years, Zhu Yijun also felt that it was a little strange. It was also good to lie down with Zitong and talk, so he didn't have to do that thing.

Wang Rong He also couldn't help but laugh at himself. Look, it wasn't as serious as an obsession with cleanliness. He would just have to bear with it for a bit before letting it pass. He wouldn't die.

Zhu Yijun, on the other hand, was having intimate conversations with Wang Rong, his husband, and their wife. It was very comfortable there, where Imperial Noble Consort's Jiao Er was acting coquettishly and acting crazy, and there were even other girls comforting her body.

As his children grew up, the Emperor doted on the Third Prince, and on empress, who had never been able to give birth to him, Imperial Noble Consort Zheng had thought of something. After serving the Emperor once, he said in a spoiled tone, ”Why is the luck of this son of mine so bad, empress?”

Zhu Yijun said groggily, ”The empress was injured while giving birth to Rong Chang, so it was not easy to get pregnant.”

Zhu Yijun didn't know what he said, but the Imperial Noble Consort Zheng covered her mouth and swallowed the surprise that she received the news.

If the empress could not give birth, then there would be no direct son.

Although he didn't have a direct leader, his Majesty doted on him and it wasn't impossible for him to make a request. This was especially so for an unfavored eldest son. Even if he died, what would be so strange about it?

It was practically a day and a night, and news had spread outside the palace. empress's body was injured, and she would not be able to give birth to any more children in her lifetime.

The imperial palace was filled with people.

The old lady immediately entered the palace and held Wang Rong He's hand. ”Is that true?”

”It's not that serious.” Wang Rong He could only comfort her.

”Then there is.” The old lady cried. ”Rong Chang is six years old this year, six whole years and you still haven't told Grandmother how bitter you must feel.”

”I'm fine.” Wang Rong helped her up, ”At least I still have Rong Chang.”

The old lady grabbed his hand. ”Can't the imperial physicians treat it?”

Wang Rong became silent. The old lady hugged her and cried, ”My darling, what should I do?”

After much difficulty in coaxing the old lady and sending her out of the palace, Wang Rong and the rest felt both physically and mentally exhausted. Other than the fact that there was no illness in their Kunning Palace, it was only now that they found out that the Empress had actually broken down.

Without any problems, he brought over a cup of tea and asked, ”May I know who's blabbering?”

”Who else?” Wang Rong Yun said indifferently, ”You and I won't say, Imperial Physician Xu won't say. Perhaps His Majesty said it on some concubine's bed.”

”For it to be spread so easily in such a short period of time, it must be extremely profitable.” Wang Rong He said, ”Go call Imperial Consort Gong over.”

When Imperial Consort Gong heard the empress's summons, she immediately rushed to the Kunning Palace. With an uneasy look on her face, she didn't want the empress to see the joy she had after hearing the news.

The Empress couldn't possibly have believed that she was the one who spread the news. Heavens, she didn't have the ability to investigate such a private matter. The unease on his face was no longer an act, but a real worry.

When Wang Rong He saw her, the first words that came out of his mouth was, ”When the news spread, eldest son stood at the center of the storm. As a mother, you need to be more attentive than usual.

Imperial Consort Gong's face reddened, and she realized that she was being petty. Her face turned red and her face turned white, as if she had understood what Wang Rong meant. ”I beg the Empress to save Eldest Prince's life.”

”Thousand Li Defensive Thief, only the person beside you can do it.” Wang Rong He shook his head, ”You should be careful, but if you have definite evidence that someone is harming the Eldest Prince, you should look for me, I can't just sit there and do nothing.”

”Many thanks, Empress.” Imperial Consort Gong said. She hated the fact that she couldn't immediately return to the Jingyang Palace to comb through Eldest Prince's body. In the future, she would let the Eldest Prince live in her eyes.

After all, this would be her life for the rest of her life.

The Empress Dowager Li looked at Wang Rong and his past carefully. ”You can't give birth to your son?”

Wang Rong was silent.

”Then you must advise His Majesty to appoint a leader as your next leader.” Empress Dowager Li said, ”The ancestral family rules are law and order, and cannot be changed because of Imperial Noble Consort being pampered.”

”The creation of a heir is the foundation of the kingdom. Since His Majesty has no plans to do so now, I can't say it rashly to avoid interfering with the political affairs of the kingdom.” Wang Rong Yun slowly said.

”The heir is not only related to the previous dynasty, it is also related to the harem. If you don't speak now, when will you speak?” Empress Dowager Li said. ”Don't be so unbalanced, who told you to be so weak.”

”If His Majesty has the intention of making a heir, I will naturally stand on the side of the ancestral family's law.” Wang Rong He said. Even the ministers and court officials will not allow His Majesty to do as he pleases. ”
