After an unknown amount of time, Shen Zhaoyan walked in and said to her gently, "Ningning, let's go back."

Jiang Xue Ning was helped to stand up by him, but suddenly her eyes went dark and she fainted.

His panicked voice rang in my ears, "Ningning!"

Shen Zhaoyan carried the person back to the room and said to Qinghe, "Go and call Bai Zhu over!"

When Bai Zhu arrived, everyone outside had already arrived. He walked in quickly, felt her pulse repeatedly, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Is Ningning okay?"

Bai Zhu slapped him on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction, "Congratulations, you are going to be a father."

He was stunned for a while by the sudden news before he asked in disbelief, "What do you mean?"

"Your Highness, this is your pregnancy pulse. It has been more than a month. You fainted because you have been overworked recently. You need to rest well from now on."

It was difficult for Shen Zhaoyan to describe his feelings at this moment; his heart felt sore and soft.

He asked a lot of questions about things that should be paid attention to, and he felt happy and nervous at the same time.

Gu Xingxing said happily, "This is a great joyous event."

Gu Tangli was happy at first, then touched her belly sadly.

Shen Zhaoyan quickly came out in high spirits, glanced at a few people and announced, "Xue Ning needs to have a good rest. Xiang Chu's affairs will be handed over to you for the next period of time."

"Haha, you are good at making arrangements." Gu Xingchen complained and accepted it with pleasure.

Because it was still early in the pregnancy, this matter was not made public and only a few close people knew about it.

Jiang Xue Ning woke up in Yunshenju. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Zhaoyan standing by her bed.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

As she was about to sit up, he carefully supported her and reminded her, "Don't worry, take your time."

He also considerately put a pillow under her lower back and brought her some warm water to drink.

She took a sip and couldn't help wondering, "You are so cautious, am I seriously ill?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you are fine."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at her belly, and said very gently, "Bai Shu said that your pregnancy pulse has been more than a month."

She was stunned for a moment, feeling more happy and scared.

"It came so suddenly that I didn't even feel it."

Shen Zhaoyan naggingly said, "From today on, you have to rest well and not work day and night like before."

"it is good."

She agreed. The timing of the baby's arrival was quite good, and she naturally didn't want to affect the baby in her belly because of being too tired.

Gu Tangli took over Xiangchu's affairs, with Gu Xingchen and Jiang Li assisting her, so she basically didn't need to worry about anything.

But a life of eating and drinking every day was boring, so Shen Zhaoyan had already started decorating the house where the child would live after he was born. He collected a bunch of toys and even made a swing and a wooden horse in the yard.

She watched from the side and felt that the years were peaceful.

Gu Xingchen took a sip of tea and commented venomously, "He is a good wife and a good family man. He also has good male virtues. It seems that this Wang Fu is a good wife for now."

"Shut up and drink your tea..." She rolled her eyes at him.

Gu Xingchen first asked her how she felt and whether the baby in her belly was behaving well, and then he got down to business.

"Xi Ling is in chaos, and some of the surrounding countries are also not at peace. Xiang Chu is now considered stable and powerful, so many small forces have come to seek refuge. This is a big deal, do you think we should accept them or not?"

She relaxed in the rocking chair and said, "This is not an easy matter. If I reject it outright, it would seem too cruel. If I accept it, I'm afraid that it will encounter someone who is restless or has ulterior motives, and it may cause internal strife."

She didn't want to accept it, but she couldn't be too harsh, after all, Xiangchu's current status was there.

"Don't refuse or agree. If they really want to surrender, keep them nearby and observe them slowly. Don't let them in all at once, and don't let them enter the core."

These small forces are a mixed bag, and who knows whether they are really seeking asylum or have ulterior motives.

Gu Xingchen nodded, "I think so too. Xiangchu doesn't lack these small things right now, so don't let them take advantage of you."

She then asked about the situation outside, "How is the battle between the imperial court and the rebels going?"

"It was a very difficult fight, and we were barely able to suppress them. Even if we could win in the end, it would only be a pyrrhic victory, and the imperial court would certainly suffer a great loss of vitality."

"As the imperial court weakens, other forces will inevitably rise and the fighting will continue. It seems that Xiling's national destiny has come to an end."

"With an emperor like Helian Xuan, the dynasty should have ended long ago." Gu Xingchen said sarcastically, "But Xiao Linfeng is unexpectedly weak and can't control the court at all."

She said calmly, "A person who is good at calculating may not be suitable for that position. Xiao Linfeng has a distorted mentality. In his eyes, the people of the world are nothing. Even whether Xiling will perish may not be important to him. That position still needs someone with a bit of vision."

However, Xiao Linfeng is too destructive, and such a person is not suitable to be the king of a country.

Gu Xingchen said puzzledly, "To this day I still don't know what he thinks of you. Did he turn love into hate?"

"He attributes his misfortune to his background, so he is eager to gain power and is willing to give up everything for power. I am just a part of his calculations, so there is no question of love or hate."

She always felt that he neither loved her nor hated her that much, and that he had come to this point because of his inner distortion and inconsistency.

I don’t know whether he regretted it later, but power is poisonous. After being contaminated by it, he walked in the abyss for too long and could no longer turn back.

She invited him to have dinner, but Gu Xingchen waved his fan and said, "No, I'm not going to eat anymore. Someone invited me to drink today."

After he left, she fell asleep on the chair. Qinghe covered her with a small blanket and did not disturb her.

When she woke up, the sky was already full of rosy clouds. Shen Zhaoyan was reading a letter beside her and poured her a glass of warm water. "Did you sleep well? We'll have dinner soon."

She glanced at the letter in his hand. "Who wrote it?"

"Lu Zhengliu wrote this to ask me to go back to Yunmengmengzhou. Don't pay attention to it."

She stretched her body lazily. "Why don't you go back and check on the child now while you have nothing to do and the child hasn't gone out yet? I'm afraid you won't have time later. After all, you have to be a good father."

"No need to go back. Yunmeng Province is very stable. He will be fine with those daily things." He said gently, "I want to stay here with you and the child."

Although he knew that Prince Zhennan and Queen Xihe also loved him, for various reasons, they did not spend much time with him.

He grew up in the palace and the lonely royal mansion, which was why he once became disgusted with the world and had no desire for anything worldly.

"I hope our children grow up in love."

Don't repeat the mistakes they made and suffer the same consequences they suffered.

Jiang Xue Ning smiled. This child was destined to be born in love and hope, and his identity was destined to be extraordinary.
