Su Wanti took a fertility pill.

Originally, she was still hesitant about whether to give birth to twins.

Later, I thought about it and felt that since the two princes were of the same age, there would definitely be competition between them in the future, and others would also compare them. Over time, the two brothers would probably develop hatred for each other.

This was something she didn't want to see.

So, she decisively gave up the idea.

I hope that this time, I will only give birth to one prince.

He does not have to compete with other princes, nor will he be compared with other princes. He will receive unique love and attention from his father and will be trained as the only heir.

As for Su Ruohua, she disappeared from that day on, and Su Wanti never saw her again, either inside or outside the palace.

She once asked Emperor Xiao Ping how to deal with Su Ruhua, but Emperor Xiao Ping just smiled and said nothing, so she did not ask any further questions.

Later she asked the system, and the system told her Su Ruhua's current location and also told her something.

Su Ruohua is neither in the Ye Ting nor in the capital now. She is in the desolate land in the northwest of Dongli Kingdom.

It is an endless Gobi Desert, uninhabited and dry with no rain all year round.

It is extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter, which is not suitable for human habitation at all.

After Emperor Xiao Ping came to power, he built a prison there.

This prison can be described as a purgatory on earth, imprisoning the most notorious and vicious criminals of Dongli Kingdom and the political enemies of Emperor Xiao Ping.

After Emperor Xiao Ping was designated as the heir to the throne by the previous emperor, some princes were dissatisfied and questioned him.

After he ascended the throne, the prince had been behind the scenes, spreading rumors in an attempt to disrupt the government and overthrow Emperor Xiao Ping.

Later, the prince disappeared after going out for a trip, and it was said that he was sent to this prison.

The system also said that just a few years ago, several female prisoners suddenly entered the prison.

In such a harsh and difficult place, survival is extremely difficult.

After hearing the information provided by the system, Su Wanti suddenly shuddered.

"92, do you mean that Su Ruohua was sent to that prison by him?"

[The probability is as high as 99%, and there is a 1% possibility that Su Ruohua fled all the way there. However, the natural conditions there are extremely harsh, and the possibility of death in the wild is 100%. ]

"My goodness, you can't judge a person by his appearance. When the prison was being built, Emperor Xiao Ping was still acting like he had no desires or ambitions."

[The target person was indeed in a state of low desire and nothing to ask for at that time, and he did not care about the throne or his offspring. However, he cared about the stability of the court and the country, and he would be ruthless to those who endangered the country and the people. ]

"When he asked me, I told him that Su Ruohua drugged him in order to harm the holy body, and harming the holy body would mean harming the lifeline of the Dongli Kingdom, so he sent Su Ruohua to that prison." Su Wanti murmured.

After seeing the ending of Xiao Huaihe and Su Ruohua, Su Wanti realized that Emperor Xiao Ping's methods were very cruel.

She thought silently:

Although Emperor Xiao Ping now trusts and dotes on her extremely, she still has to remind herself from time to time to remember his bottom line and never touch it.

No matter how gentle and caring Emperor Xiao Ping was towards her, he was still an emperor. When an emperor is angry, millions of people will die and blood will flow for thousands of miles.

Never become arrogant and indulge in your own words and deeds, and never touch his bottom line, otherwise you will suffer a fate worse than death.

----

Two months later, Su Wanti was diagnosed with pregnancy. Emperor Xiao Ping was overjoyed and issued a general amnesty.

In the same year, Su Wanti gave birth to a baby boy. Emperor Xiao Ping was overjoyed and court officials came forward to congratulate him. No one mentioned the matter of adopting a son again.

It is said that on the day Su Wanti gave birth, the Queen Mother chanted sutras and prayed for her in the Buddhist temple for a whole day and night.

Late at night, when the news that Su Wanti had given birth to a prince reached the Buddhist temple, she forcibly broke the jade clam Buddhist beads in her hand, and the transparent and crystal clear beads scattered all over the floor.

When the news reached Yaoguang Palace, Emperor Xiao Ping's eyebrows darkened slightly, but when he turned to face Su Wanti, his face was relaxed again, "When the queen mother heard that Wan'er had given birth to a prince, she was so excited that she even broke her Buddhist beads in joy."

Su Wanti smiled and said nothing.

She knew that the rift between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor was growing. The Emperor said this simply because he didn't want to make her worry.

----

It's the New Year again, and this is Su Wanti's second Spring Festival in the palace.

Now she has a daughter and a son, and has been conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort. She is extremely honorable in the harem, second only to the emperor.

In the eyes of the palace people, her status was even higher than that of the queen.

However, she was still very respectful to the queen and paid her respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month and never missed the visit.

There were also some people who gossiped in front of the Queen, saying that the Imperial Noble Consort was too arrogant and that the Queen should teach her a lesson.

Moreover, the Queen's family background is better than that of the Imperial Noble Consort and her status is higher than that of the Imperial Noble Consort. The Queen should adopt the prince and raise him under her name.

Naturally, the queen would not listen to those people. She knew clearly in her mind that those who said these words had bad intentions. Their purpose was to disrupt the harem and make her confront the Imperial Concubine. She would not be fooled!

She had no interest in the emperor's favor, nor did she want to be an empress dowager in the future. She just wanted to be a queen for a few years in peace and stability, handling palace affairs diligently and responsibly. When the former dynasty and the harem were stable in the future, she would have her own plans.

Su Wanti also knew what kind of person the queen was, and their relationship became closer and closer, like a pair of good friends.

----

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, a palace banquet was held in the palace.

This palace banquet, like previous ones, invited royal relatives, aristocratic families, and high-ranking officials to attend.

Before the palace banquet began, Su Wanti washed and dressed in Yaoguang Palace.

She is now the Imperial Noble Consort, the head of all concubines, and can no longer dress as simply as before.

She must dress luxuriously and elegantly to suit her current status.

Su Yue and Chun Tao held the gorgeous clothes and golden crown that she was going to wear this time, and An Xun dressed up Su Wanti.

She was wearing a golden wide-sleeved pomegranate skirt with golden flowers embroidered on it and silver clouds embroidered on it, which was dazzling.

On her arms was a soft-colored golden gauze, mixed with fine threads of pure gold. It shone brightly under the light, and was extremely beautiful.

The golden crown is a five-phoenix rising sun crown made of pure gold, which is exquisite and gorgeous.

This outfit makes Su Wanti look like a fairy from heaven.

Su Yue and the others were stunned. At this moment, applause broke out, and then Emperor Xiao Ping's voice reached their ears.

"My daughter is truly extremely beautiful. She looks great even with heavy makeup on. No one in the world can rival you."

"Greetings, Your Majesty." When Su Yue and others saw Emperor Xiao Ping coming, they bowed and withdrew.

Only Emperor Xiao Ping and Su Wanti were left in the inner room.

Su Wanti rarely dressed so extravagantly and gorgeously. She looked left and right in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.

However, she still felt shy when she heard Emperor Xiao Ping's praise.

Then, as if she remembered something, she raised her little face, squinted her eyes, and said in a tender voice:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. I am already a mother of two children, and my beauty is fading. I cannot compare to the beauty of my younger sister."

Having said that, he turned away.

Emperor Xiao Ping smiled and said, "My Wan'er is so adorable when she gets jealous. Don't worry, Wan'er, you are the only one in my heart and the only woman by my side. The princess sent by the foreign tribe the other day, I have already granted her to Prince Bei as his wife."

Ever since Su Wanti gave birth to the princess, the rumors that Emperor Xiao Ping was infertile were self-defeating. Various forces inside and outside the court found ways to send women to Emperor Xiao Ping, even more than before.

However, Emperor Xiao Ping did not confiscate any of them. He directly granted marriages to these women and betrothed them to good men among the royal family, which was considered a good thing.

Su Wanti then smiled, the corners of her mouth curled up. She turned around and sat in front of the dressing table. She picked up the jade bracelet from the makeup box and was about to put it on. Suddenly, she didn't hold it firmly, and the bracelet fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and breaking into two pieces.

"Your Majesty..." Su Wanti's heart tightened and she felt uneasy. She looked at Emperor Xiao Ping with her watery almond eyes with a hint of worry.

Emperor Xiao Ping looked at the broken bracelet on the ground, pursed his lips slightly, and then smiled.

She took out a jade bracelet from the makeup box and put it on Su Wanti's slender wrist.

He gently embraced Su Wanti in his arms, kissed her forehead, and spoke in a low and steady voice.

"Don't think too much, Wan'er. This is just an accident. Besides, I am here. I have said that I will protect you for the rest of your life."
