Ye Zhen explained to Li Heng that she was just guessing before and was not sure. After all, it was the child they were looking forward to. She didn't want to cause them to rejoice in vain because of uncertainty. Later, after confirming it, she wanted to comfort Empress Fang for a few days before saying it, but she didn't expect the court to quarrel like that.

Li Heng was in a good mood and completely ignored Ye Zhen's previous concealment. What's more, she gave the Empress an excellent comfort, making her look ruddy and healthy.
"Yao Yao, what should I do next?" Empress Fang was still nervous and didn't know what to do next.
Ye Zhen looked at her and smiled, "Your Majesty, I have written down some things to pay attention to. In short, don't worry. Do what you should do. I will often go to the palace to accompany you."
Empress Fang smiled, "I am relieved to hear this."
The court, which had been quarreling about the crown prince, calmed down. Soon, people knew that Empress Fang could get pregnant because Ye Zhen had taken care of her body and allowed her to conceive in such a short time.
The name Lu Yaoyao suddenly became well-known in the capital. Some noble ladies who had been unable to conceive for many years even went to the prime minister's residence to see her in person.
At first, Ye Zhen was willing to deal with these people. After all, many of them were aristocratic families in the capital. If she really didn't see them, it would be impossible. Her father still had to walk in the capital. Later, she was so annoyed that she simply hid in the palace.
"It seems that I have to thank those who came to you for folk prescriptions. Otherwise, you would not be willing to live in the palace." Empress Fang covered her mouth and laughed. She wanted to invite Lu Yaoyao to the palace many times, but she was politely refused. Now that there were so many people asking to see Lu Yaoyao, she took the initiative to live in Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty, don't laugh at me. I don't have any folk prescriptions. The medicine I gave you is ordinary. I don't have any amazing skills." Lu Yaoyao said, but in her heart, she was complaining about Huangfu Chen. When he saw that Li Heng's illness was getting better, he left without saying a word, saying that there were still many places he had not been to and he wanted to take advantage of his youth to explore.
Ye Zhen originally wanted to go with him, but Ye Yiqing didn't agree, so she had to stay here.
"Yao Yao, I've been feeling nauseous lately. Help me check if I'm sick," Empress Fang said.
"Niang niang, this is all normal. Even if you feel nauseous, you must eat something. Today, I will make some medicinal meals for you to stabilize the fetus." Ye Rou smiled.
"Alright!"
As they were speaking, a palace maid came in from outside to report that Consort Chen Xianfei was requesting an audience.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen silently stood beside Empress Fang. Since the news of Empress Fang's pregnancy spread, Ye Zhen had met Consort Chen several times in the palace. She clearly felt that the seemingly gentle and delicate Consort Chen had a deep resentment towards her.
Chen Xianfei's petite figure walked in from the outside. She was still the same as before. Her clothes were standard and there was nothing special about her.
She was wearing a string of red coral beads around her neck, which looked very eye-catching.
"Chenqie greets Empress." Consort Chen Xian bowed.
Empress Fang treated Li Heng's other concubines very gently and never treated them harshly. She was naturally like this with Consort Chen Xian.
"Give me a seat." Empress Fang said with a smile, "Consort Chen Xian, your health is good."
In the past month, Consort Chen Xian had been claiming to be ill and did not come to the Kunning Palace, saying that she was afraid that her illness would spread to the Empress.
Consort Chen Xian was about to sit down, but when she heard Empress Fang's words, she stood up again and said guiltily, "Niang niang, this concubine's health is good. I heard your good news, but I couldn't come to congratulate you."
Empress Fang's happiest thing now was to be pregnant. When she heard Consort Chen Xian's words, a smile appeared on her face. "If you are not in good health, you should take good care of yourself. You don't have to come here every day to greet me."
"Thank you, Niang niang, for your concern. This concubine is fine now." Consort Chen Xian said with a smile. When she saw the palace maid bring in tea, she took the initiative to take the teacup and deliver it to Empress Fang personally.
Ye Zhen stepped forward to block her. "Consort Chen Xian, let me do it."
Consort Chen Xian raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhen. "Miss Lu, let this palace serve the Empress personally."
"Consort Chen Xian is in good health. We can do these small things." Ye Zhen smiled faintly, her eyes falling on the red beads on her neck. "Your beads look very bright and beautiful."
Empress Fang knew that Lu Yaoyao was never a person who would look for trouble. Since she was blocking Consort Chen Xian, there must be a problem.
"Consort Chen Xian, you'd better sit down and talk." Empress Fang said with a smile.
Consort Chen Xian was already a little unhappy because Ye Zhen mentioned her beads. When she heard Empress Fang's words, she had to reluctantly smile and sit back in her seat. She gently touched the beads on her chest with one hand. "This is the South Sea Buddhist Beads. I was not feeling well a few days ago, so my family sent it to me."
"South Sea Buddhist Beads?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems that Consort Chen's family has been deceived. There is no such Buddhist beads in the South Sea. This looks like a red pill soaked in medicine."
Empress Fang was stunned. "What is that?"
Ye Zhen looked at Consort Chen Xian with a smile. "It's just a kind of bead that can be used as medicine."
Consort Chen Xian's face was pale. Her fingers squeezed the beads tightly, for fear that she would accidentally reveal her nervousness. "Miss Lu knows so much."
"This girl is indeed omniscient." Empress Fang glanced at Ye Zhen with a smile. "This consort is convinced by her. I want to recognize her as my younger sister."
Empress Fang's words stunned Ye Zhen. "Niang, are you serious?"
"This consort is still playing with you." Empress Fang laughed.
The smile on Consort Chen Xian's face was a little forced. She glanced at Empress Fang's belly and pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth. "Miss Lu's medical skills are really amazing. I have long heard that Lord Ye's daughter is a divine doctor. It seems that her reputation is well-deserved."
"Niang, you flatter me." Ye Zhen became vigilant. From the first time she saw Consort Chen Xian, she did not think that this humble and seemingly delicate Consort Chen Xian was really a harmless person.
"If I had known, I would have asked Miss Lu to treat this consort. Maybe I would have recovered earlier." Consort Chen Xian said with a smile.
Ye Zhen smiled and did not speak.
Empress Fang turned to Ye Zhen and said, "Yao Yao, is it time for this consort to take the abortion medicine?"
"Yes, Niang, this servant will go get the medicine now." The palace maid beside the Empress said.
Consort Chen Xian knew that this was Empress Fang's signal that she could leave. She pinched the beads on her neck unwillingly, got up and bowed to Empress Fang.
