Who said the heir would die out? The concubine is pregnant again!

Yingzhu turned around and took only two or three steps when Liang Yunqian's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Shen Yingzhu, why are you up so early today?"

He called out to someone, and Yingzhu could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she had to stop, turn around, and curtsy.

"Greetings to Your Highness, it's getting late since you've returned from court."

Yesterday she said she was going to Deshan Hall to read scriptures with Princess Rui, but the direction she just turned was actually her residence.

Liang Yunqian's eyes flashed with surprise. "Where are we going?"

"This servant is going to Deshan Hall."

He said so much last night, but she still didn't care and remained stubborn!

Deshan Hall wasn't in that direction, yet she headed north, clearly indicating that she didn't want to run into him and was deliberately taking a detour.

Seeing that Liang Yunqian's gaze was fixed on Shen Yingzhu, Zhou Zisu grabbed his wrist again.

"Yunqian, come with me, I'll show you some good things, you'll definitely need them."

Liang Yunqian, his mind in turmoil, withdrew his hand. "I have important business to attend to and need to leave the manor. I'm just coming back to change clothes. We'll talk about it when I have time."

After saying this, he left with his hands behind his back. When he reached Shen Yingzhu's side, he did not stop or even glance at her. He passed by like the wind, treating her as a complete stranger.

In front of everyone, Liang Yunqian was extremely indifferent to Shen Yingzhu, completely different from the fiery person he was at night.

Ultimately, they were never on the same path; they only came together because of their child.

All her intimacy with Liang Yunqian was for the sake of their child, and had nothing to do with affection or love.

Yingzhu had already gotten used to his aloofness, and her heart was not greatly affected.

Zhou Zisu's smile gradually faded, and she slowly walked to Shen Yingzhu's side. "This young lady looks unfamiliar; I've never seen her before."

Mei Xin, who was standing behind her, remained silent, while Bao Lan took the initiative to speak.

"She was a concubine given to the Crown Prince by the Crown Prince's wife. Her name was Shen Yingzhu. It was said that the Taoist priest had chosen her because she had a good constitution for pregnancy. I don't know if she can get pregnant."

"Aunt Zhou, you'd better stay away from her. She's only been a concubine for half a month, and she's already caused several troubles. She's spoiled and arrogant because she serves the young master, and she doesn't respect anyone!"

Qingfeng couldn't stand Baolan's sarcastic tone and retorted:

"Aunt Zhou, you must be careful too. Baolan is so good at slandering others that she'll even slap herself. Who knows what she might do in secret and then blame it on you?"

Yingzhu didn't give Zhou Zisu any advice because she knew that Zhou Zisu probably didn't have good intentions in taking in Baolan.

Both of them should be kept away!

"Having met Aunt Zhou, I still need to see Her Highness the Princess. Excuse me."

Yingzhu made an excuse to leave, but Zhou Zisu said, "I also need to see the Princess. We sisters can go together."

Zhou Zisu affectionately took her hand and asked her how she was doing.

With a wary look on her face, Yingzhu subtly withdrew her hand. "I just had a rash and I'm not sure if it's fully healed. If I were to infect Aunt Zhou, it would be my fault."

Yingzhu had tried her best to stay away from Zhou Zisu and Baolan, but unexpectedly, as she turned the corner, Baolan suddenly bent her knee, leaned forward, and bumped into Yingzhu's arms!

Suddenly struck, Yingzhu cried out in pain, and the next moment she heard the sound of porcelain shattering!

Yingzhu looked closely and saw that a small box had been knocked over, and the small porcelain bottle inside was shattered on the ground, with the ointment inside spilled on the ground!

Baolan cried out in shock, "This was a gift from Aunt Zhou to the Princess! How could you break it! Shen Yingzhu, you've caused a huge disaster!"

These people just happened to appear here, and they broke a rare item. After a moment's thought, Yingzhu guessed that they were deliberately setting a trap for her!

Zhou Zisu hurriedly bent down to check, and saw the words "Ningxue Dew" written on the broken bottle. Her vision went black for a moment, and she glared angrily at Shen Yingzhu.

"The Dew of Snow Condensation is priceless; my master can only produce six bottles a year. I finally managed to obtain one, intending to present it to the Princess Consort, but you have ruined it. Can you bear the consequences?"

Yingzhu's biggest enemy is Xu Fanglin. She doesn't want to provoke others easily, but if these people insist on putting on a show, then Yingzhu will not back down!

"Since this item is so precious, Baolan, why didn't you hold it properly? Instead, you ran right into me! What were you up to?"

Baolan waved her hands repeatedly, "I didn't bump into you, you suddenly bumped into me, you did it on purpose!"

Zhou Zisu was too lazy to listen to their arguments. "This is something Her Majesty has been longing for. Before I left, Her Majesty repeatedly told me to bring back another bottle. Now that the Snow Condensation Dew has been destroyed, I can't explain it to Her Majesty. You go and explain to Her Majesty!"

When everyone arrived at Deshan Hall, Yingzhu immediately spotted Xu Fanglin.

Xu Fanglin learned that Yingzhu had been ordered by Princess Rui to read scriptures, so she came to watch the show. However, she unexpectedly stumbled upon Zhou Zisu complaining about Yingzhu.

Zhou Zisu, Baolan, and the others recounted the events of that day, and all three of them accused Yingzhu of deliberately bumping into Baolan.

Upon hearing that Ningxuelu was gone, Princess Rui's face immediately darkened!

She had been looking forward to it for so long, but when she arrived, it was all for nothing!

"Yingzhu, how could you be so reckless? You even shattered the Snow Dew! That's a rare treasure that money can't buy!"

Everyone was blaming Yingzhu. Baolan was crying and sobbing, feeling extremely wronged. Yingzhu secretly told herself to calm down and not be swayed by them. She should focus on the important points.

"Your Majesty, I'm innocent! I had no idea what was in the box Baolan was holding, so why would I deliberately bump into her?"

Xu Fanglin's eyes shifted slightly, already considering a certain possibility.

"It must be because you had a conflict with Baolan, and you harbor resentment towards her, that's why you deliberately bumped into her, wanting to punish her!"

According to Xu Fanglin's calculations, Yingzhu could also accuse Baolan of deliberately breaking Ningxuelu to frame the servant.

"This servant was only holding the box and had no idea what was inside."

Baolan sniffled, trying to explain herself with a wronged expression, and Zhou Zisu suddenly exclaimed in surprise!

"So you have a personal grudge, then you should settle it privately. Shen Yingzhu, you shouldn't have taken that bottle of Ningxue to vent your anger!"

The Snow Dew is made from twelve kinds of flower petals, as well as summer lotus leaf dew, winter plum blossom snow, and spring rootless water, plus volcanic mud and aquatic algae, and is prepared using a secret recipe.

I only want this one bottle. Her Highness the Princess has already finished hers. If you want another one, you'll have to wait another year!

The reason why Princess Rui was anxious was because she was not the one who truly wanted it.

"Ningxuelu can tighten the skin and is a rare and excellent product. Last year, Zisu brought me a bottle. After using it, my wrinkles faded. When the Empress Dowager saw the effect, she asked about it. I have assured the Empress Dowager that I will be able to get it this month."

The perilla leaves traveled a long way to reach the manor, only to be damaged by you because of your own personal grudge! How infuriating!

Enraged, Princess Rui immediately ordered, "Shen Yingzhu, kneel down!"

Seeing that the situation was very unfavorable for Shen Yingzhu, Qingfeng quietly withdrew from Deshan Hall. She had to hurry and find the Crown Prince!

At that moment, the young master said he had to go out of the manor again. Qingfeng secretly prayed that the young master was still in Tingsong Garden and that he would not leave!

Xu Fanglin sighed inwardly, "Karma is swift indeed!"

Last time, because of Qiuhe's matter, Xu Fanglin was reprimanded by Princess Rui and lost face. Only a few days later, Shen Yingzhu was also taught a lesson by Zhou Zisu and Baolan.

It seems the rumors she spread about Zhou Zisu were quite effective! Now that Shen Yingzhu has angered Princess Rui, and Princess Rui has ordered her punishment, it's truly gratifying!

This concerns the Empress Dowager; Yingzhu cannot bear such a blame!

In her previous life, Baolan had also mocked her, but Yingzhu was timid and cowardly at that time and did not have any conflict with Baolan, so there were no such conflicts, and she never broke Ningxue Dew.

This situation is one that Yingzhu never faced in her previous life. She failed to take precautions in advance and must quickly come up with a solution!

While Yingzhu was still pondering the strange occurrences, Chen, the nanny who served Princess Rui, saw that she refused to kneel and immediately stepped forward, forcibly pressing her down to kneel.

"You must learn to obey Her Highness's orders unconditionally. Don't take advantage of your pregnancy to disobey her!"

Forced to kneel, Yingzhu's heart was constantly on edge. After pondering for a long time, Yingzhu had a flash of inspiration and finally realized what was strange!
