Shen Wan was in a hurry and urged the carriage driver several times along the way, and the carriage galloped back to Prince Ling's Mansion.

But as soon as I got back, I was poured with a basin of cold water from head to toe.

When Shen Wan got off the carriage, Yin Shuang asked the gatekeeper, "Did the prince send any letters back home?"

The gatekeeper was a little confused, "No."

Shen Wan was so angry that she almost cried.

Thinking about how I had been waiting for a letter from home for so long, and how my eldest brother had already sent a letter to Princess Huai'an, but that bastard didn't even bring a copy for her, it was too much!

Shen Wan returned to Mo Yuxuan with heavy and light footsteps in anger and drank tea to calm her anger.

In her heart, she cursed that bastard Xie Jingyan several times, and then her anger subsided. Dong'er came in with two letters in her hand and said happily, "Princess, the prince has sent back a letter from home..."

Shen Wan, "..."

It’s too early to curse.

Shen Wan silently took back the words she had used to call Xie Jingyan a bastard.

She reached out her hand impatiently, and Dong'er quickly handed the letter to her.

Not knowing which of the two letters was written first and which one was written later, Shen Wan put one letter down and opened the other.

Shen Wan then realized that Xie Jingyan had written her a letter, but had not delivered it. The letter she opened was written by Xie Jingyan on the day he arrived at the border.

The letter read:

Your husband has arrived at the border. The wind and sand are strong at the border, but the scenery is also beautiful. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to the border to play and appreciate the beauty of the sunset.

Shen Wan read the letter several times. Although she knew that the chances of Xie Jingyan taking her to the border were slim, she was satisfied that he could think of her when he saw the scenery at the border.

When I thought about how I had been getting annoyed with him for not receiving any letters from home these days, I felt that I had gone too far.

Xie Jingyan has never been a person who breaks his promises.

He always does what he says.

After waiting for a long time, she finally received the letter from home. Shen Wan couldn't let it go. Yin Shuang said, "Princess, there is another letter."

Only then did Shen Wan put down the letter in her hand and open another one.

After opening the letter and taking a quick look at it, Shen Wan felt a pile of black lines on her forehead.

The letter read:

I’d better not bring you to the border because your husband is not used to the local climate here.

Shen Wan, "..."

This is completely different from what Shen Wan thought.

She thought that when Xie Jingyan arrived at the border, he would go to the battlefield, kill everyone in his way, be invincible, and capture Cheng Wang alive. However, this guy actually had trouble acclimatizing to the climate at the border.

But it is also normal. Xie Jingyan seemed to have rarely left Kyoto. Before the accident of Concubine Chen, he was very old. After the accident of Concubine Chen, he was demoted by the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum. Later, he fell off a horse and broke both legs. He was confined to a wheelchair for more than two years and had no chance to leave Beijing.

The border is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and the climates on both sides are completely different, so it is normal to have acclimatization problems.

I don’t know how serious the acclimatization is. If the symptoms are mild, it’s fine. But if they are serious, won’t it affect his prestige?

Shen Wan was worried, so she told Yin Shuang, "Go ask Doctor Tao, how long will it take for the symptoms to heal?"

Yin Shuang glanced at the letter and said, "It will take quite some time for this letter to be sent back from the border. The prince's discomfort from the climate must have been cured by now."

Shen Wan looked at Yin Shuang, who quickly said, "I'll go ask right away."

Yin Shuang turned and ran.

Shen Wan read the two letters several times and memorized every word before putting them away. She felt sorry for Xie Jingyan's difficulty in acclimatizing, but also blamed him for not writing more words.

Yin Shuang ran there and back. When she came back, beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. She panted and said, "I went to ask Doctor Tao. Doctor Tao said that people who are not used to the local climate may experience insomnia, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms. Generally, they will be fine in six or seven days."

It would take seven or eight days to send a letter from the border to the capital via express delivery, which is 800 miles away. It would probably take ten days or half a month for an ordinary servant to deliver the letter. By then, the prince had already recovered, perhaps even when the letter was written.

Shen Wan felt relieved.

She had just received two letters from home and was looking forward to the third one.

After going to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion for two consecutive days and failing to go to the Huguo Temple, Shen Wan went to the Huguo Temple and asked for a few amulets, preparing to return and have someone send them to the border.

Princess Huai'an had a difficult delivery and suffered from hemorrhage, so she needed to rest well, but she was not disturbed during the three-day ceremony. The fourth master and the fourth mistress held a three-day ceremony for the child, and those who were close to the emperor went to watch the ceremony. Even the emperor sent Eunuch Yuan to deliver a longevity lock.

Shen Jing and Shen Du were both at the border. If something unexpected happened to Princess Huai'an during childbirth, Shen Du couldn't even see Princess Huai'an for the last time. How could the emperor not be moved? He rewarded the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion with a lot of things.

As the days passed, Shen Wan finally received the third letter from home.

The letter read:

My acclimatization problem is getting worse and worse. My father-in-law wants me to return to the capital. It can't get better. One day I might be knocked out by your eldest brother and the Prince of Yanping and sent back to the capital.

Shen Wan, "..."

Shouldn’t acclimatization be cured in six or seven days? Why is it getting worse?

This bastard only said that he was not used to the local climate, but he didn't say how serious his illness was. Shen Wan was very worried.

Well, not only Shen Wan is worried, but also the emperor.

A certain gentleman suffered from severe acclimatization and was taking a long time to recover. Shen Jing felt that he was not suitable to stay at the border, but he was a little hesitant to knock him out and send him back to Beijing. So when he sent the memorial back, he mentioned it to the emperor, and the emperor was both distressed and angry.

He was not allowed to go to the border, but he insisted on going there, in order to capture King Cheng alive and bring him back to the capital, which would have enhanced his prestige. However, he could not go to the battlefield because of acclimatization problems, and finally returned to the capital, which made people laugh.

The emperor thought of Xie Jingyan's insistence on going to the battlefield, so he wanted to recall him immediately and give him a good beating.

The emperor was angry, but he didn't want his son to lose such a big face, so he immediately asked someone to draft an edict, summoning Xie Jingyan back to the capital on the grounds that the court had important matters to attend to, in order to save as much face as possible.

However, two days after the imperial edict was sent out, the emperor sent people to intercept it and bring it back.

On this day, Shen Wan went to visit Cheng Yao and Xu Huan and returned home. Just as she stepped over the threshold, she heard the sound of horse hooves. The servant tightened the reins and stopped, saying, "The prince has a letter from home."

Shen Wan, "...???"

The third letter from home was received only a few days ago, why are you sending another letter back?

But the more letters from home the better, Shen Wan was so happy that she couldn't contain herself.

When the letter from home was delivered to her, Shen Wan couldn't wait to return to Mo Yuxuan and opened it at the door.

There were only a few words on the letter:

Are you pregnant again?

Shen Wan, "..."

Shen Wan's heart skipped a beat when she read these words.

No...it can't be right?

She hadn't had her period for several days, but Dr. Tao had said before that she had just given birth to Jin'er, and her menstrual period might not be normal for half a year. This was normal and would be gone in a few months.

She thought it was pretty good and didn't take it to heart.

Is she really pregnant again?

Shen Wan walked towards the pharmacy.

Doctor Tao was preparing medicine for wounds. When he saw Shen Wan coming, he asked, "Why is the princess here?"

Shen Wan said, "Doctor Tao, please take my pulse and check if I am pregnant again."

Doctor Tao asked Shen Wan to sit down, then he washed his hands and came over to take Shen Wan's pulse.

Take a pulse.

Doctor Tao said, "Sure enough, she is pregnant. She has been pregnant for more than two months."

Shen Wan, "...!!!"
