Ms. Doctor Divine

"What?" Zhou Huailing asked Gu Ruxue in confusion, wondering what she meant.

As far as he remembered, his women should respect him no matter what and he could do whatever he wanted with her, especially since he was working hard to father some imperial children. He believed that Gu Ruxue should obey him completely.

So he wondered what Gu Ruxue showed this expression for!

Gu Ruxue was both shy and surprised. They had already slept together and she was still quite tired, yet the Crown Prince wanted to sleep with her again?

She felt very anxious, but thinking of how Liu Qingqing gave birth to a child whilst she had not, Gu Ruxue felt really uncomfortable and desired to give birth to a lineal child for the Crown Prince no matter what.

She clenched her teeth and shook her head. "Nothing."

Zhou Huailing answered briefly and continued his movements.

The situation was quite urgent so he did not want to waste any more time.

While the door to enchantment was yet to appear and Ruxue was free, he was going to focus on fathering children. When Ruxue was pregnant, his job would be done.

Zhou Huailing was thinking that while he removed Gu Ruxue's clothes.

The servants were all wondering what was happening, but they did not ask and only lowered their heads, continuing with what they had been doing.

The room did not become quiet until the later part of the night.

***

The snow had been flying throughout the whole night.

As dawn broke, Zhou Huailing got up and went for the morning session. It was not a very peaceful time, so he as the Crown Prince should never be late for the morning session.

When he got up, Gu Ruxue had no reaction. She was fast asleep. Normally, Gu Ruxue would wake up and dress him.

He thought for a while and felt that he must have tired her out, but considering that what they needed the most now was a child, he dropped the rules and let the maid help him dress.

When he was dressed... Zhou Huailing was about to go for the morning session.

As he came to the door and saw the snowflakes he turned to the servants in the room, saying, "The snow is very heavy and the Crown Prince Consort is too weak to go outside. Just let her stay in. I will come to her when I return, she doesn't need to be worried."

Having said this he took a few steps forward.

However, he was still not assured about what he had decided.

He thought for a while.

It was a very important day and they had no children, and Gu Ruxue even slept with someone else before she married him, so he felt quite unassured that no one was able to keep her indoors.

If that was the case...

Zhou Huailing glanced at the room and pointed at one guard. "Go and lock the door, get the things delivered to the Crown Prince Consort, but don't let her out if she has nothing important to do."

Then he continued to move.

Junyi was waiting for him not too far away.

He was checking the area around them. He agreed with the Crown Prince's decision. The Crown Prince Consort was not an elegant person so it was safer to lock her inside.
