Xue Han worried about her younger son. Afraid that he might fall ill on a rainy day, they hadn't brought Xiaxia into the Palace initially. Now, they had no choice but to do so. "I have already sent someone to Ning Duke Residence."
The Empress said, "Have someone look after him later."
Xue Han glanced at the Crown Princess Consort, then curled her lips, "The Crown Princess Consort is pregnant, should we add a few thick cushions?"
The Empress hadn't overlooked the Crown Princess Consort. She noticed her, and now that the Retired Emperor was gone, she had to be even more cautious, fearing that the Emperor might vent his anger on the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort, eventually causing the newborn to displease the Emperor.
