The pregnant woman pressed down on the wife, and the cousin collapsed into the prince's arms.

After Dr. Zhang arrived, he carefully examined the jar of plums and concluded that there was nothing wrong with it. Madam Wang nodded, inquired about Shen Yunshuang and the condition of the fetus in her womb, and finally gave Dr. Zhang a generous reward before seeing him off.

After visiting Jinlan Courtyard, Su Wanrou realized that her mother-in-law did not believe her, even though she had already humbled herself so much!

She is the Crown Prince's wife, Pei Jingnian's rightful legal wife, yet now she is humbly thinking of the child of a concubine.

This forced compromise was a far cry from her former proud self, and this feeling was more devastating than anything she had ever experienced before.

She felt like she wasn't herself anymore.

Just as his thoughts were churning, a maid came from outside to report that Chun Tao was requesting an audience.

When Chun Tao entered, her expression was one of smug delight. She knelt on the ground, her eyes darkening as she looked up, and said, "Your Highness, the Consort, is frail, yet you conceived so quickly. Doesn't Your Highness find it strange?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Su Wanrou narrowed her eyes, her fingertips casually stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said softly, "Oh? Could it be that there's something strange about this?"

Shen Yunshuang's pregnancy was diagnosed by the family physician, who was used to treating her. Su Wanrou was not naive enough to think that Shen Yunshuang was faking her pregnancy.

What does "Spring Peach" mean?

Chun Tao smiled slightly, her eyes full of certainty: "On the day the concubine was diagnosed with pregnancy, she told the young master that she had been taking a secret medicine called Ginseng Nourishing Pill for many years. After arriving in the capital, a reclusive doctor adjusted the prescription and added several herbs to strengthen the body and aid fertility, which is why she was able to conceive so smoothly."

Su Wanrou was shocked, never expecting this answer. A reclusive doctor, assisted reproduction... If she could find that person... wouldn't that be...

At this thought, a spark of hope ignited in her heart, which had been dormant for many years! Her expression became much more serious, and she even leaned forward slightly: "A reclusive renowned doctor? Who is he? Where can I find him?"

"On that day, the Consort didn't reveal the name of the pharmacy. It was only through these past few days of secret inquiries that I heard the name 'Renhe Hall' from her. That reclusive renowned doctor is quite old; he was originally an itinerant physician traveling the world, but now he's temporarily practicing at Renhe Hall. He's someone you can only dream of."

Renhetang…

As Chun Tao spoke, Zhou Mama listened intently. Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, she frowned and questioned, "This servant only knows of Jishetang and Huichuntang as pharmacies in the capital, but has never heard of Renhetang."

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao thought that Zhou Mama didn't believe her and became extremely anxious: "Your Highness, please be wise. This servant truly heard the name from the Consort's mouth. It's absolutely true. The Consort also said that Xue Zhi should take some silver to secretly thank the doctor at Renhe Hall. It should be in the next few days. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, why don't you send someone to keep an eye on Ningxiang Pavilion? Once Xue Zhi goes out, you can tell whether it's true or not."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanrou was genuinely tempted.

No wonder Shen Yunshuang was so weak; she was almost dying when she first came to the Marquis's mansion, yet she became pregnant so quickly.

If that miracle doctor is truly so miraculous that he can cure her infertility, then why is she now going through all this trouble and exhausting herself? If she could conceive a legitimate son, why would she even bother with Shen Yunshuang?

In an instant, she made up her mind to listen to Chun Tao and secretly monitor Ningxiang Pavilion to see if the divine doctor from Renhetang was real or fake.

After giving Chuntao a reward of silver, she sent someone to keep an eye on Ningxiang Pavilion.

Two days later, as expected, Xuezhi went out of the side gate of the mansion, wandered around the city, and entered a pharmacy called "Renhetang".

After Xuezhi left, the people Su Wanrou sent went in to take a look and saw an old doctor who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old sitting there. He had white hair and wrinkled skin, and looked like a wise old man. After inquiring further, they found out that he was indeed a specialist in treating infertility!

All the information was exactly the same as what Chuntao had said!

After hearing this, Su Wanrou really wished she could go to Renhetang immediately to have her pulse checked!

Only Zhou's mother found it strange, after all, the sudden appearance of "Renhetang" was too coincidental.

"Your Majesty, this matter concerns your health, so please don't rush it. We should plan it carefully."

Su Wanrou couldn't wait any longer: "Mom, it's not that I'm in a hurry, but Chuntao said before that this doctor is a reclusive master who doesn't stay in one place for long. I've finally encountered such an opportunity, and if I miss it because I'm too cautious, wouldn't I regret it to death?"

Excitement caused Su Wanrou's cheeks to flush, and her eyes to shine with an astonishing brightness.

Over the past few years, Zhou's mother had been trying to improve her health, but it had never been effective. Because of the long-standing relationship between mistress and servant, she naturally wouldn't openly blame Zhou's mother.

But in truth, Su Wanrou had long since stopped believing in Zhou's mother's medical skills.

Mother Zhou knew that she couldn't persuade her anymore; her young mistress's mind was made up. Her obstruction seemed like she had some ulterior motive.

So she stopped saying anything.

Upon learning the news, Su Wanrou informed her mother-in-law the next day, citing business at the Vice Minister's residence, that she was going back to her parents' home.

But actually, he went to Renhetang secretly.

She was dressed modestly and looked like a young woman from a wealthy family.

He said he hadn't had any good news for many years and wanted to see if there was any way to help.

Strangely enough, the pharmacy was small, with only one apprentice dispensing medicine and a doctor who looked quite old.

The old doctor stared at Su Wanrou for a long time with his cloudy eyes, then stretched out his withered fingers and carefully took her pulse on her wrist.

"Madam, your palace is extremely cold, like the coldest days of winter. It would be incredibly difficult for you to conceive."

Each word struck Su Wanrou's heart like a heavy hammer.

The light in Su Wanrou's eyes dimmed instantly. Her heart was ashen, and bitterness and despair surged within her. Was she really going to never be able to have her own child in this lifetime?
