When Mother Sun heard that she was in a situation where there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind, she was worried for a moment. She suggested, âWhy donât you come back and stay? As for the Imperial Residence, you can leave it to the butler to look after.â
âNo, if I come back now, wouldnât that be telling everyone that Iâm pregnant?
âI have to return and stall for time as much as possible. It would be fine once my pregnancy is stable.â
âYou must be careful.â
âDonât worry, thereâs the butler around. Iâll tell him to help me.â
âAlright, remember to send a message if thereâs anything.â After Mother Sun finished speaking, she asked someone to go to the kitchen to get some of Sun Miaokeâs favorite snacks and then sent her back.
After Zhou Ying finished bathing at night, she spread her divine sense to look at the Kang Residence.
At that moment, King Kang was caring for the baby while Zhou Jiaying was taking a bath.
Seeing this, a wicked smile flashed across Zhou Yingâs eyes. She poured two packets of fermented liquid from her storeroom into Zhou Jiayingâs cup.
Sure enough, Zhou Jiaying did not check it after showering and drank it all in one gulp.
After that, Zhou Jiayingâs stomach started to growl when they were both having a good time in bed. Soon, she started farting.
King Kangâs interest was immediately lost. He left with a look of disdain and went straight to the main courtyard.
Zhou Jiaying was so angry that she screamed and broke the kettle and cups on the bed.
However, she quickly lost her temper and went straight to the toilet.
âServes you right,â Zhou Ying gloated. âThis is just a warning. You wonât be so lucky next time.â
As for tests, she was not afraid of getting discovered. With the current technology, Zhou Jiaying would never find any trace of fermented liquid. She could only admit that she was unlucky.
âWhat mischievous things have you done? Why are you smiling evilly?â Gu Chengrui, who had finished washing up, walked over and asked curiously.
Zhou Ying did not hide it from him and told him about what she had done.
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment before he smiled. âI hope King Kang doesnât develop any psychological trauma from this.â
âThat will depend on his mental forte.â
âRight. We should get busy, too.â Gu Chengrui quickly lifted the blanket and crawled under the covers with her.
The next day, after the morning court session, the Emperor asked Gu Chengrui to stay and asked, âI heard that the Empress lost her composure at the banquet yesterday. Did it affect you and your wife badly?â
âNot really.â
âThen, you two⦠Do you want me to find a few beauties?â
Gu Chengrui quickly waved his hand and replied, âNo need. Itâs not that we canât make any. Itâs just that we donât want any babies at the moment.
âAfter this busy period, I will naturally have one when we settle down.
âBesides, the Gu family doesnât have any inheritance now. Itâs fine even if we donât have children.â
The Emperor was startled when he heard this and asked, âDo you blame me?â
Gu Chengrui was stunned by the question. After understanding that he was referring to the familyâs exile, he shook his head. âNot really. After all, the Gu family was at fault. You acted according to the law.â
The Emperor saw that his eyes were clear and did not dodge his question. He smiled and asked, âSo, who do you think is most suitable to inherit the throne among the princes?â
âThis is your family matter, so I shouldnât say much.â
âFamily matters? Hmph, family matters it is. What kind of person do you think I should choose to inherit the throne?â
Gu Chengrui looked at him in surprise, not knowing what the Emperor was trying to do.
Therefore, he answered modestly, âSomeone who thinks about the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Iâm afraid an Emperor who doesnât have the hearts of the people wonât be able to last for long.â
âWater can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.â The Emperor muttered to himself.
A moment later, he waved his hand and said, âSince thereâs nothing wrong with you two, have a child as soon as possible so we can shut everyone up..â
