Without any warning, Xu Shulan fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, the nanny was quick to catch her, otherwise she would have fallen directly to the ground.

Even though they caught her, the nanny and the maid were still scared out of their wits. Chu Heyi said, "Carry her to the couch and let her lie down. Baihua, go get the imperial physician."

Before the imperial physician arrived, Xu Shulan slowly woke up. When she saw Chu Heyi's face, she wanted to stand up and salute, but Chu Heyi stopped her.

"Just lie down and don't go through all those empty formalities. The imperial physician will be here to treat you soon, so don't worry." Chu Heyi said softly.

Xu Shulan's face was very pale. Although Chu Heyi comforted her, she was still a little worried.

Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived soon. After checking Xu Shulan's pulse, he immediately knelt down and said, "Aunt, this is a sign of pregnancy. She fainted because of insufficient Qi and blood. You must be careful in the future. You must not be hungry or overworked. Someone must be watching you at all times."

It was a pregnancy pulse! Xu Shulan excitedly grabbed Chu Heyi's hand, and Chu Heyi also smiled and patted the back of her hand!

Nanny Zhu said, "Because Auntie was anxious to see the Crown Princess, she got up before dawn and didn't eat much, so she fainted. If the adults knew that Auntie was pregnant, they would be very happy."

Xu Shulan also showed a happy and shy smile.

The imperial physician prescribed her some medicine to replenish her qi and blood, then left. Chu Heyi immediately asked someone to bring some snacks, and she ate them together with Xu Shulan.

The two of them sat on the couch together, with snacks and milk on the low table, and they ate and talked.

Chu Heyi said, "I originally wanted to find you a suitable husband after the war... but because of my actions, you became someone else's concubine. Do you blame me?"

Xu Shulan fell into the water while praying for her and was rescued by Xue Jinfei. She knew that in this world, once a girl is embraced by a man, the man has to be responsible for her.

Unfortunately, Xue Jinfei was already married and could not marry Xu Shulan. When the news spread, Xu Shulan could only be a concubine.

Chu Heyi felt very sorry. Xu Shulan used to be a lady from a wealthy family. All the men who came to propose marriage wanted to marry her to the man's family as the mistress and principal wife. But because of her, she became a concubine. She felt filled with guilt.

Xu Shulan took her hand and said, "Brother Xue is in the imperial court and has outstanding abilities. Many girls want to enter the Xue family but have no chance... I am old, and Brother Xue is very kind to me. He is tall and strong, and also handsome. I... I am very happy to do it."

Chu Heyi noticed that her face was flushed, and the guilt in his heart dissipated a lot. It turned out that Xu Shulan liked Xue Jinfei. That's good, that's good.

She said sincerely: "I am very happy to see Sister Xu happy. I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tell Lord Xue to treat you well and not let him bully you."

Xu Shulan became more and more shy.

After a long time, she remembered that in addition to visiting Chu Heyi today, she also came to give her something.

"This is a skin gel. It makes your face smooth and moisturized when used on it. It can also make your skin fairer and remove blood stasis and scars. I have used it and it works very well, so I specially sent it to the Crown Princess."

The rumor that when the ministers welcomed Chu Heyi back to the court, they couldn't help but say that the Crown Princess was too dark, and that she was so angry that she wanted to ride away on horseback, was widely spread outside. Xu Shulan also heard about it, so she sent her the skin lotion.

Chu Heyi was very angry at the minister who couldn't help but blurt out that she was too evil. Unfortunately, she didn't notice who that minister was at that time. If she caught him, she would have to scold that Yin Yang man before she could vent her anger.

Although she was very angry, Chu Heyi smiled and said, "Sister Xu is so kind to me. I'll accept this skin gel. I'll try it later. If it works, I'll ask you for it next time."

"If it's useful, the Crown Princess can ask someone to tell me and I'll send it to the palace for her."

Chu Heyi agreed, and she invited Xu Shulan to stay in the palace for lunch, and then Xu Shulan said goodbye and left the palace.

After she left, Chu Heyi took out the skin gel and applied it on her face. Aunt Rui said, "You didn't even check if it was poisonous, but you applied it on your face. What if you get disfigured?"

He added: "Although my aunt looks gentle and kind, and doesn't seem like a wicked person, we should still be on guard against her."

Nanny Rui snatched the skin lotion from Chu Heyi, applied it on the back of her hand, and only applied it to Chu Heyi after making sure it was non-toxic.

Madam Rui said, "If I were to ask you, there are thousands of kinds of beauty among girls. Some are gentle and affectionate, some are charming, some are sweet and lovely, and some are heroic and valiant... Since the Crown Princess can fight on the battlefield, she should not be restricted to a certain kind of beauty. In my opinion, although the Crown Princess' skin is a little dark, it looks very healthy, and has a heroic and valiant beauty. There is no need to pursue fair and graceful beauty."

Chu Heyi laughed: "You old woman, you are just applying skin lotion, but you are applying so many profound truths."

Nanny Rui hit her without using any strength, and the master and servant started laughing.

That night, Xie Lin wore a white nightgown, took off his shoes and socks, and sat on the bed, reading the policy papers handed over by his ministers very attentively.

Chu Heyi was also wearing pajamas and had taken off her shoes and socks. She slowly climbed on top of him, put her head under his hands that were holding up the policy paper, and faced him. Her feet kept rubbing against Xie Lin's instep, and she was having a lot of fun.

Xie Lin's eyes suddenly became deep, his Adam's apple rolled, and he freed one hand to grab her arm, staring at her steadily.

Chu Heyi bit his chin gently, her eyes full of cunning: "Sister Xu is Master Xue's concubine. She came to the palace to see me today. Isn't it a coincidence that she fainted when she entered the East Palace? The imperial physician checked and found that she was pregnant."

Chu Heyi's hand touched Xie Lin's Adam's apple, and then she looked up at Xie Lin's eyes: "Didn't you say that the child was anxious to come to us? Should we do something bad to create an opportunity for the child to come to us?"

Xie Lin clenched the policy paper in his hand, his eyes slid from Chu Heyi's face, and continued to read the policy paper. He said hoarsely: "Wait until I finish reading this policy paper."

Chu Heyi was not annoyed, and smiled: "Okay, you watch yours, I will do my... bad things."

That night, Xie Lin insisted on finishing reading the policy paper. It was very well written. Da Qi needed such new and outspoken talents.

He was very excited.

The result of his excitement was that he couldn't get up the next morning. He was so weak. Chu Heyi stroked his face, and said with caress and teasing: "Your Highness, will you exercise with me next time?"

Xie Lin was not annoyed by the teasing at all. He grabbed Chu Heyi's hand and said, "Okay."

Anyway, exercising is a matter of happiness for them as a couple, so why not do it? The Crown Princess' suggestion was not wrong.

In spring, everything grows and sprouts. In his spare time, Xie Lin really exercises with Chu Heyi.

During this period, they also went to Chu Zhen's grave to pay homage together and told him the good news that Yan and Lan cities had been recovered and that Runxue and his wife had been defeated.

After returning from the worship, Chu Heyi was still sad for a long time because of his father's death.

In March, someone from the princess's mansion came to the palace to deliver the news that Princess Pingyang was pregnant.

Chu Heyi subconsciously stroked her flat belly and felt a little angry. Who was the baby that Xie Lin dreamed of looking for?
