Chapter 605 - 605 Counterattack
When Mother Sun heard that she was in a situation where there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind, she was worried for a moment. She suggested, “Why don’t you come back and stay? As for the Imperial Residence, you can leave it to the butler to look after.”
“No, if I come back now, wouldn’t that be telling everyone that I’m pregnant?
“I have to return and stall for time as much as possible. It would be fine once my pregnancy is stable.”
“You must be careful.”
“Don’t worry, there’s the butler around. I’ll tell him to help me.”
“Alright, remember to send a message if there’s anything.” After Mother Sun finished speaking, she asked someone to go to the kitchen to get some of Sun Miaoke’s favorite snacks and then sent her back.
After Zhou Ying finished bathing at night, she spread her divine sense to look at the Kang Residence.
At that moment, King Kang was caring for the baby while Zhou Jiaying was taking a bath.
Seeing this, a wicked smile flashed across Zhou Ying’s eyes. She poured two packets of fermented liquid from her storeroom into Zhou Jiaying’s cup.
Sure enough, Zhou Jiaying did not check it after showering and drank it all in one gulp.
After that, Zhou Jiaying’s stomach started to growl when they were both having a good time in bed. Soon, she started farting.
King Kang’s interest was immediately lost. He left with a look of disdain and went straight to the main courtyard.
Zhou Jiaying was so angry that she screamed and broke the kettle and cups on the bed.
However, she quickly lost her temper and went straight to the toilet.
“Serves you right,” Zhou Ying gloated. “This is just a warning. You won’t be so lucky next time.”
As for tests, she was not afraid of getting discovered. With the current technology, Zhou Jiaying would never find any trace of fermented liquid. She could only admit that she was unlucky.
“What mischievous things have you done? Why are you smiling evilly?” Gu Chengrui, who had finished washing up, walked over and asked curiously.
Zhou Ying did not hide it from him and told him about what she had done.
Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “I hope King Kang doesn’t develop any psychological trauma from this.”
“That will depend on his mental forte.”
“Right. We should get busy, too.” Gu Chengrui quickly lifted the blanket and crawled under the covers with her.
The next day, after the morning court session, the Emperor asked Gu Chengrui to stay and asked, “I heard that the Empress lost her composure at the banquet yesterday. Did it affect you and your wife badly?”
“Not really.”
“Then, you two… Do you want me to find a few beauties?”
Gu Chengrui quickly waved his hand and replied, “No need. It’s not that we can’t make any. It’s just that we don’t want any babies at the moment.
“After this busy period, I will naturally have one when we settle down.
“Besides, the Gu family doesn’t have any inheritance now. It’s fine even if we don’t have children.”
The Emperor was startled when he heard this and asked, “Do you blame me?”
Gu Chengrui was stunned by the question. After understanding that he was referring to the family’s exile, he shook his head. “Not really. After all, the Gu family was at fault. You acted according to the law.”
The Emperor saw that his eyes were clear and did not dodge his question. He smiled and asked, “So, who do you think is most suitable to inherit the throne among the princes?”
“This is your family matter, so I shouldn’t say much.”
“Family matters? Hmph, family matters it is. What kind of person do you think I should choose to inherit the throne?”
Gu Chengrui looked at him in surprise, not knowing what the Emperor was trying to do.
Therefore, he answered modestly, “Someone who thinks about the people. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. I’m afraid an Emperor who doesn’t have the hearts of the people won’t be able to last for long.”
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.” The Emperor muttered to himself.
A moment later, he waved his hand and said, “Since there’s nothing wrong with you two, have a child as soon as possible so we can shut everyone up..”
