Shen Kouqing looked at Shen Koudan's smiling face who was brimming with joy, and then at the exquisite box carried by the servant girl behind her. This Dragon Whiskered Grass was one of the rarest plants in the world, but she never thought that at this critical juncture, it would actually become a gift.

Seeing that Shen Koudan had such intentions, the emperor smiled in satisfaction.

"So thoughtful!"

Shen Koudan glanced at Shen Kouqing from the corner of her eyes and mocked at her.

Shen Kouqing was suffocated by her gaze, and took her leave, heading to the imperial garden.

It was indeed surprising to her that Shen Koudan had actually found Dragon Tooth Grass.

Ting Zhu silently followed behind her and said: "Miss, I didn't think that Ninth Imperial Consort's illness would have completely recovered, but the Ninth Prince doesn't seem to be looking at her today. Her gaze was all on you."

Ting Zhu saw everything clearly in Heartbreak Palace, the Ninth Prince's fiery gaze was lingering on his Young Miss, it was unknown if it was because he was old friends.

After Shen Kouqing heard her say that, she immediately placed her jade fingers on her lips and said: "Shh, you cannot speak nonsense like that. If anyone else hears it, they will kill you."

Ting Zhu looked at the young miss's serious face and nodded, frowning.

"Yes."

Ting Zhu obediently promised. As the two of them walked forward, they saw Shen Koudan walking over to them, with a face full of satisfaction and happiness, her complexion was a lot better, probably having taken good care of her for the past few days.

Shen Kouqing saw that she was just walking towards him, so she paid her respects: "Aunt Nine seems to be looking good today, it seems that Ninth Imperial Uncle has loved Aunt Nine Emperor quite a bit."

Shen Koudan laughed coldly. Looking at Shen Kouqing's posture, he felt angered in her heart.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he swept a glance at her, walked to her side, and softly said: "Of course, Ninth Prince Qin Se and I are good friends, this is something others can't be envious of!"

"This is great, then let's wait for the Nine Emperor Auntie to give birth to the prince as soon as possible."

Shen Koudan's sharp fingernails fiercely dug into the center of her palm. The bystander might not know, but she knew that on the night of the wedding, Song Yuanhui had not touched her. Several days had passed, but she still treated him with the same indifferent attitude, like a stranger.

There was nothing new to her as she attributed all of this to the woman before her!

He also saw Song Yuanhui's eyes, who was standing in front of the emperor, sweeping his gaze across Shen Kouqing's face. Could it be that he was really missing a nose, a pair of eyes, and this guy hated him so much?

He tried his best to force a smile out of his mouth, and looked at Shen Kouqing as she raised her chin proudly: "That's for sure, as a prince is something that will happen sooner or later. I just hope that Royal granddaughter consort's stomach can make some movements as soon as possible, so that I'll have someone to accompany her in the future."

Shen Koudan knew that Song Yichen's life wouldn't be long, so she could only be a widow.

It would be better to have a child as soon as possible to avoid being left alone and looking pitiful!

Why didn't Shen Kouqing know what she was thinking? She then coldly swept his gaze over her.

"Then I'll just wait for her. Oh right, Ninth Prince loves cold food the most, he likes to warm a pot of wine every time he eats. Ninth Emperor's aunt must not forget about his habits, if there is the slightest bit of neglect, he'll get angry."

Hearing her words, Shen Koudan clenched his fists, he never thought that the small hoof knew Song Yuanhui better than him!

Looking at her proud figure disappearing into the distance, she unhappily spat a mouthful of saliva. When the servant girl at the side heard this, she could not help but ask: "How does this Royal granddaughter consort know so much about the Ninth Prince's preferences?"

Shen Koudan turned and viciously threw a slap across the servant girl's face. A clear sound rang and the servant girl's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Ninth Imperial Consort in confusion.

The servant girl did not know why Ninth Imperial Consort was so angry, so she immediately knelt down and said: "Please spare my life, Ninth Imperial Consort, this servant spoke too much!"

Shen Koudan coldly stared at her, grinded her teeth, and said: "Next time if you dare speak too much, I'll cut off your tongue."

"Yes." This servant does not dare to have a next time, Ninth Imperial Consort, please be merciful. "

Shen Koudan suppressed her anger. Seeing that her figure had already disappeared in front of him, she could not help but stomp her feet in anger.

Speaking of Song Yuanhui's preferences, no one understood them better than Shen Kouqing.

After all, he had been a husband and wife for his entire life. It was just that after that, his heart felt like it was being slashed by a knife, causing him to feel extremely exhausted.

When he arrived at the side hall, Shen Kouqing's heart was faintly uneasy. He thought about the medicine the emperor has been consuming these past few days, and thought that it should be gradually investigated.

Therefore, he immediately turned to Ting Zhu and instructed him: "Ting Zhu, I'll go to the main hospital, you stay in the side hall. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them that I'm not feeling well, and will go to sleep first."

Hearing that, Ting Zhu nodded, and then followed the young miss's figure into the distance.

When Shen Kouqing arrived at the imperial hospital, she exchanged blows with the imperial physician that was in charge of overseeing the emperor's medicine. The imperial physician led her to take out the medicinal dregs that the emperor had eaten.

"Royal granddaughter consort can take a look, we carefully examined all these medicinal dregs, and there isn't anything strange about them."

Hearing his words, Shen Kouqing nodded her head. With regards to these doctors from the Supreme Hospital, she naturally could be at ease, but this medicine could not be said to be foolproof.

He picked up the medicinal dregs and carefully sniffed them. There was no spice at all, and in the emperor's palace, there was no strange fragrance either. He couldn't help but wonder if his nose was hallucinating, or if this fragrance was hiding too deeply.

After Shen Kouqing went to the too hospital, she did not gain anything and came out from the hospital.

Coincidentally, he noticed that there were people following him, so he walked to a corner. When the person appeared, he appeared behind him, but did not expect that it was Song Yuanling.

"Sixth royal uncle."

After today, Shen Kouqing could only call him that for now.

"I wonder why Sixth royal uncle would appear in the vicinity of this hospital?"

Song Yuanling appeared to be a little disappointed as he looked at the person in front of him and said: "I just came out of the Heartbreak Palace and visited royal father. Royal father said that you have moved to the side hall of the Heartbreak Palace, so I wanted to go over to take a look."

Hearing his words, Shen Kouqing nodded his head with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Since that's the case, then I shall pay a visit to royal grandpa. I believe that since Ninth Imperial Uncle has already left, royal grandpa will inevitably feel a little lonely inside. It's better to have someone to accompany him."

Shen Kouqing was only finding a chance to slip away. Looking at Song Yuanling, that silly look in her eyes made him feel uneasy.
