After the two went out, Shu’er and Tang Zan went to release water from the dam as they did before.
Fortunately, she still had half of the water in her space, and now adding the water, it was just right.
However, on this day, Tang Zan discovered a group of spies.
Shu’er had to equip diving gear, put away the boat, and then subrged into the lake to release the water.
Her swimming skills were good enough now; if she couldn’t manage, she could enter her space.
More importantly, even in the space, she could control the water release.
In fact, it’s easier to control from inside the space than outside.
After Tang Zan captured the people, they were quickly knocked out.
Involving Shu’er’s biggest secret, Tang Zan was sure not to be vague.
Tang Zan said, "Don’t be afraid, with the sky so dark, no one will see."
When this scene appeared again, the people were extrely happy and quickly knelt before the lake.
"There is water now, finally there is water, we are saved."
So even hugged each other, filled with excitent.
No matter where this water ca from, it saved their lives.
Now all the refugees from Dayan, upon hearing there was water in these two places, fled to them.
They found suitable places to settle, starting to cultivate the land first.
The nearby area quickly transford from being quiet and deserted to bustling with activity.
Then, they discovered a mysterious vegetable stall outside Lin State and the Capital.
The person selling vegetables was dressed in black with a black mask, and the prices were reasonable.
Most importantly, these vegetables were incredibly fresh and sweet.
After eating the vegetables, one’s health could even improve sowhat.
It helped them get through the early period of scarcity.
These places developed rapidly, and soon everything turned lush green.
The smiles that had disappeared from people’s faces reappeared once more.
Tang Zan was called back to Lin State by a royal decree, while Shu’er returned to the Capital.
Everything was well in the Capital; Pei Yu had shalessly moved into Shen Wanqing’s residence.
Other concubines also visited Shen Mansion to find Pei Yu, but the guards stopped them at the door.
When Shu’er went to visit, she found that Shen Wanqing was living well, much happier than at the Pei Mansion.
Also, because this was her own house, she did not feel constrained by the presence of the Prince Zhan Mansion.
Seeing Shu’er, Shen Wanqing’s eyes lit up, and she quickly invited Shu’er over.
"I’ve learned to cook braised pork from your mansion’s chef; I will make it for you later."
Shu’er nodded, "Sure, mother."
But when the braised pork was served, Shu’er felt nauseous.
Shen Wanqing was a bit worried, "What’s wrong with you?"
Shu’er shook her head, drank a sip of water, which eased the nausea, thinking of how her mother rarely cooked for her, she didn’t want to spoil the mood.
So she reached with her chopsticks to pick up the food.
Just as it reached her mouth, she felt nauseous again.
Shen Wanqing was half amused, "Is my cooking really that bad?"
Pei Yu picked up so braised pork with his chopsticks and ate it, showing his support.
"Delicious."
Shen Wanqing rolled her eyes, completely ignoring Pei Yu.
When Shu’er vomited again, Shen Wanqing was initially stunned, then her expression was full of joy.
"Soone, quickly, call the doctor from the mansion."
Shu’er looked at Shen Wanqing, "What’s happening, mother?"
Shen Wanqing said, "Shu’er, you might be pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Shu’er laughed, "How is that possible."
She was about to check her pulse, but Shen Wanqing pulled her hand away.
"I know you’re skilled in dicine, but no matter how skilled, a healer cannot heal themselves, you know this."
Shu’er thought for a mont and nodded.
"Mother makes a point."
The doctor arrived quickly, checked Shu’er’s pulse, then bowed and saluted.
"Congratulations Princess Consort, congratulations Princess Consort, it’s a pregnancy pulse."
Shu’er blinked, wondering if she heard wrong.
How was it possible she and Tang Zan could have a child?
In the plot, she died early, Tang Zan also died early, where did this child co from?
But soon she thought of their difference this ti.
First, they were in her space, creating the child, and the rules of the space differed from the book world, having its own set of rules.
So, it’s because they were in the space!
Shu’er’s eyes were filled with joy, recalling Tang Zan’s occasional looks at her stomach.
She felt bittersweet, "Father, mother, I need to find Tang Zan and tell him this good news."
Shen Wanqing’s expression changed imdiately, "You silly girl, you’re pregnant now, not suitable for traveling long distances, and Linzhou City is so far from here, you should send soone with the ssage instead."
Shu’er shook her head, "No, mother, my constitution is very good."
After all, it was transford countless tis by the space’s Spiritual Spring.
How could she miscarry just from riding a carriage?
Shu’er took people to outside the city, and as she walked halfway, she saw an eunuch standing there with Consort Shu’s token.
"Princess Consort, co to the palace with , Consort Shu invites you."
Shu’er had no dealings with Consort Shu before, but when an Imperial Concubine sent soone to wait for her, she couldn’t refuse.
So she followed the eunuch and boarded the dedicated carriage.
She turned to look at the guards and maidservants.
"Then you all return to the Prince Mansion first, and wait for to co out so we can go together."
They all agreed in unison.
Little did Shu’er know, after she left their sight, these people were killed.
anwhile, a corpse appeared in the carriage, with her physique and appearance, identical to hers.
Upon arriving at the Imperial Palace, Shu’er t Consort Shu and perford a ceremonial bow.
Consort Shu scanned Shu’er with eyes that felt like they were appraising goods.
Shu’er felt slightly uncomfortable.
Consort Shu said, "Take a seat."
Shu’er waited for Consort Shu to speak, but Consort Shu rely lay on the Imperial Concubine Chair reading novels, occasionally glancing at her.
Still that appraising look.
Shu’er sat upright, her mind silent.
She did not know why Consort Shu called her this ti.
Once Fang Hua ca in and whispered a few words in Consort Shu’s ear, Consort Shu sat back up.
After Fang Hua spoke to her, her aura changed.
Now, she looked at Shu’er with more pride, her face full of smiles.
"War Princess, no, Shu’er, shall we go for a walk?"
Shu’er had long since wanted to leave after sitting all afternoon, feeling bored.
"Yes, Imperial Concubine."
Consort Shu laughed lightly, "Imperial Concubine?"
Shu’er found Consort Shu’s laugh a bit odd.
Then Consort Shu pushed the door open, looking at the sky, her lips showing a triumphant smile.
"Right now, but soon, no longer."
