As spring goes and autumn comes, Zhiyan's belly grows bigger and bigger.

In the previous dynasty, there were people who supported the crown prince and Prince Fei who were constantly fighting and tug-of-war. The king could naturally see a lot, but he loved the crown prince and was worried about his wife and young son, so he was reluctant to blame either of them.

If it happens too many times, it's inevitable to feel bored.

Then he would come to visit Zhiyan and find some peace and comfort in her.

All along, Zhiyan has always acted weak and harmless in front of the king. The king gradually lost his guard in front of her, and sometimes even inadvertently told her many things about the previous dynasty.

Zhiyan listened carefully every time, but in front of the king she would only smile gently and not say a single extra word.

"From now on, I will ensure that you and your child will enjoy a life of wealth and glory." The king said to Zhiyan while touching her bulging belly.

Compared with Madam Yu, who often shows her spying intentions, the balance in the king's heart has quietly tilted towards Zhiyan.

Zhiyan lowered her eyes slightly and answered softly: "I believe in your majesty. I believe that your majesty will protect me and my child. I don't ask for great wealth and honor, as long as I live in peace and safety."

The less people fight, the more people will want to give everything to them. This is how the king feels now. Looking at the weak Zhiyan and thinking about the young children in her house, he feels that he must protect them.

But I just thought so and never thought about giving them more.

Zhiyan knew it well, but she was not in a hurry. Now she just wanted to give birth to the baby safely and then take things slowly.

When the leaves began to fall in the palace garden, the prince was pardoned and returned to the palace.

Compared with the embarrassment when he was driven away, the prince appeared much more mature and calm this time. He came to the palace alone to pay homage to the king, with obvious signs of vicissitudes on his face.

"Your Majesty, your son pays homage." The prince walked up to the king with a guilty look on his face, and choked twice before he could say anything.

The king had not seen him for many days and was already soft-hearted. Seeing this, he could not help but sigh and personally stood up and walked over to help the prince up.

The prince seemed to be frightened. He took several steps back and looked at the king in shock.

"I have caused Your Majesty so much trouble before. I really deserve it. This is the blood scripture that I copied in front of my mother. I pray for Your Majesty's blessing."

The more the prince spoke, the softer his voice became. Finally, he lowered his head and presented a bright red scripture with both hands.

Regardless of whether this scroll of scriptures was written by the prince or with his blood, this thoughtfulness is already precious in the eyes of the monarch.

The king ignored the scripture and patted the prince on the shoulder. "It's over. There's no need to talk about the past."

This means that no matter whether he indirectly killed Princess Zhiyan or was assassinated, it is all over and the prince will never be blamed for it again.

The prince naturally understood the meaning of the words, and immediately couldn't hold back and shed two tears.

"Okay, if you're like this, how can you take on big responsibilities in the future?" The king criticized harshly, but actually he said something very inspiring.

The prince has learned his lesson now, and he dared not respond to this. Instead, he said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life. The Crown Princess heard that Lady Zi will be giving birth soon, so she specially took out the thousand-year-old ginseng from her dowry and entrusted me to borrow the flowers to give to Lady Zi."

The prince was not in the palace, but he naturally knew about the sudden appearance of Zhiyan in the harem. He felt that the other party posed no threat to him, so he was happy to show his friendly side in front of the king.

As expected, the king was also very fond of this. "The Crown Princess is thoughtful. I will accept it on behalf of Lady Zi. Please remember the Crown Princess's kindness."

That afternoon, the Crown Princess made a special trip to the palace to pay a visit to Zhiyan.

Zhiyan's hands and feet are a little swollen now, and it is inconvenient for her to move, but since the Crown Princess has come, she still has to see her. She immediately asks the palace servants to help her walk to the front to meet the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince have been married for many years and are of one mind. When they saw Zhiyan, they were very attentive and asked her about her well-being, and then tactfully expressed the East Palace's concern.

This was clearly an olive branch, and Zhiyan naturally understood it. She accepted it all immediately and greeted the Crown Princess with a smile.

The two were talking happily when a palace servant outside suddenly came in and reported: "Madam Yu is here!"

Hearing this, Zhiyan and the Crown Princess looked at each other and read meaningful things in each other's eyes.

But they didn't know that Madam Yu saw that she was not as favored as Zhiyan in the harem, and the prince had returned in a strong manner, so she made up her mind and came up with a vicious plan to kill two birds with one stone.
