âI will.â Zhou Ying saw Gu Wanning wasnât in a good mood and asked, âWhatâs wrong? Did something happen?â
âNo, Princess Zhi Shan is also pregnant. It was just found out yesterday.â Gu Wanning replied.
Zhou Ying spread out her divine sense and swept a glance. After confirming that there was no one nearby, she asked, âHow has the Emperor treated you in the past few months?â
âPretty good. He comes every odd day of the month. Sometimes, he comes on even days to check on the childrenâs homework.â
âThatâs good. Since you chose this path back then, you have to brace yourself and walk down it. Donât go the wrong way.
âMoreover, the Emperor is already quite good. He only selected one person for this consort selection.â
âI understand. I just feel a little uncomfortable. Iâll be fine in two days.â
âThatâs good. Think about it. Which would you prefer: spending a day in happiness or unhappiness? Why not let yourself live happily?â
Gu Wanning smiled and asked the palace servants to place two chairs in the courtyard. She entered her room and moved the Second Prince and his cradle out.
The two of them chatted for a while, and Gu Wanning asked, âBy the way, sister-in-law, how is Chenglin? The provincial examination is in two months, and he mustnât relax.â
âThe teachers of the academy are keeping an eye on this matter. Donât worry.
âWe only need to provide him with good food, drinks, and clothes. Itâs better not to worry about anything else. Otherwise, it wonât be good for him if we put too much pressure on him.
âIf he hates studying because of this, it will be troublesome.â
âThatâs true. Iâll leave Chenglin to you.â
âBy the way, I sent in a cart full of watermelons. You can divide them later. Iâll head back now.â
âAlright, come into the palace and chat with me when youâre free.â
âI will.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she left the palace.
At night, she asked Gu Chengrui to check on her, and it was confirmed that she was really pregnant.
Gu Chengrui smiled. âI was thinking of delaying it by two months. I didnât expect the baby to come so soon.â
âWell, itâs all because youâre impatient.â
âYes, yes, itâs all my fault.â Gu Chengrui nodded repeatedly.
He asked, âOh right, Gu Zheng sent a letter. He said that the aloe tonic and aloe gel are selling well. He also mentioned that he will return to the capital after autumn.â
âHeâs quite capable. By the way, howâs his familyâs matter going?
âWe can support him, but we canât allow him to implicate the innocent and ruin our reputation.â
âDonât worry, Iâve solemnly instructed him. He wonât dare to act rashly.
âAs for his familyâs situation, I donât know much about it. You can check it out later.â
âOk, at least we know whatâs going on. By the way,â Zhou Ying asked, âhowâs the matter with the penicillin? Can it be done?â
Gu Chengrui shook his head. âThe medical equipment outside here is too crude. It doesnât produce penicillin with enough purity. It canât be used.â
âBut, I want to make glass,â he said.
âSure, you can check the detailed information yourself. I have to go and get busy soon.â
âGo ahead. But now that youâre pregnant, donât force yourself to make it rain.â
âGot it.â Zhou Ying responded and sat outside the storeroom to get busy.
She first checked the situation in various places and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that the weather was turning out great.
She remembered Gu Zhengâs matter and immediately went to Fuzhou Province.
She happened to find that Gu Zhengâs father and aunt were praying to Mother god, and their goal was to ask her to punish Gu Zheng, their unfilial son..
