Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

During the few minutes that Chang Shou was silent, He Xi had already thought of many ways to die.

In modern times, He Xi is very reluctant to go to the hospital. She doesn't like it whether it is to see a doctor or for a physical examination.

I always feel like I’m going to be terminally ill at any minute and there’s no cure.

"Doctor Chang, how is Xi'er?" the Queen asked with concern. This shouldn't be the case, as He Xi has always been in good health.

Chang Shou's expression changed from gloomy to sunny, and he continued to congratulate. His skill of changing his expression was truly amazing.

"Congratulations, princess, you are pregnant."

"It's okay, I can take it...huh?"

This was completely beyond He Xi's expectations, and she didn't even think about being pregnant.

What happened to the dizziness and morning sickness that I agreed to have during pregnancy?

Although her sleep quality was a little poor, she just thought it was due to her worry about Fukang'an and the low air pressure.

And the most important thing is that she had her period last month!

So He Xi had never expected this.

The Queen was overjoyed. Her son-in-law was fighting outside, and He Xi had been in a bad mood for the past few days. She was worried about it. Now that she was pregnant, her attention would probably be diverted.

"Doctor Chang, but I had my period last month."

Chang Shou was somewhat unhappy to see that Hexi did not believe his judgment, but thinking that Hexi was the first child and her lack of understanding of these things was understandable, he patiently explained.

"Princess, there are thousands of symptoms of a woman being pregnant, and spotting during pregnancy is also possible."

"But to be on the safe side, you still need to stay in bed for a few days."

This was He Xi's first pregnancy and she had no experience, so she naturally followed Chang Shou's advice.

I wonder if Fu Kang'an would be happy if he knew...

When He Xi thought about this, a peaceful smile appeared on her face.

The Queen felt extremely relieved when she looked at Hexi, who was about to become a mother.

"That's great! If Yao Lin knew about this, she would definitely be happy."

He Xi nodded in agreement. She decided not to tell him in the letter and would tell him in person when he came back.

When the Queen and He Xi were having a warm exchange of experiences, suddenly a servant ran in in a panic.

"It's not good. It's not good."

When the queen heard this, her face turned dark. Where did this unruly servant come from? It really spoiled the fun of our happy occasion.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xiao Guizi from the Imperial Study, Wu Shulai's newly adopted godson.

"What's going on?" The queen's heart skipped a beat, fearing that something serious might have happened.

"Yes..." Xiao Guizi said tremblingly after bowing, "It's Master Fucha..."

When Hexi heard that it was related to Fukang'an, he immediately became excited.

It was a long time since they had been in touch, and she hadn't received any reply to her previous letters. She thought it was because the war was getting intense.

"Tell me quickly! What happened?" the Queen said anxiously and turned to look at He Xi.

"Xi'er, why don't you go to the inner room and wait first." The queen had a bad feeling and was worried about He Xi's health.

He Xi shook her head firmly: "My Queen Mother, I want to hear it, I want to know!"

The Queen sighed and signaled to Madam Rong with her eyes to bring Doctor Chang back, as she was afraid something might happen.

Rong Mama was indeed the worm in the queen's heart. She understood what he meant at a glance and quickly retreated to chase him.

"Tell me, what exactly happened!" After listening carefully, He Xi's voice trembled slightly.

Xiao Guizi crawled on the ground, not daring to look up, and spoke in a low voice.

"Reporting to the Empress, reporting to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Fucha... is missing, and his life or death is unknown..." Xiao Guizi gritted her teeth, barely finished her words, and lay on the ground.

He Xi suddenly felt dizzy and there were many voices around her which she could not distinguish clearly and which seemed to be far away and near.

She wanted to tell the Queen that she was fine, but her throat felt like it was blocked.

The Queen supported the staggering He Xi and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Xi'er! Xi'er! Someone come quickly! Xi'er!"

Suddenly Kunning Palace became a mess.

He Xi tried desperately to hold the Queen's hand and tell her that she was fine and not to worry, but she was powerless and allowed herself to sink into endless darkness.

As soon as Chang Shou walked back to the Imperial Hospital, Aunt Rong informed him to return.

He felt terrible after hearing this. How could it be easy for him with his old limbs?

But since the Queen had given the order, Chang Shou did not dare to delay and met Fu Chang'an who was on patrol on the way.

Upon learning that there was a summons from Kunning Palace, probably because the princess' sister-in-law had something to do, he was very enthusiastic to help.

So, after many years, Chang Shou once again experienced the thrill of flying in the air.

Chang Shou: ...You really know how to thank me. You are worthy of being my brother!

Just as Chang Shou arrived at Kunning Palace and hadn't even stood firmly, he was about to give this reckless boy a smack on the head when he heard a lot of noise in Kunning Palace.

"Not good!" Chang Shou had no time to argue with Fu Chang'an, and rushed into Kunning Palace with his old arms and legs.

Fu Chang'an was also very anxious, but entering Kunning Palace without permission was a taboo, so no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait outside.

"Imperial Physician Chang! Come and take a look at my Xier." When the queen saw Chang Shou, she felt like she had seen a savior.

"Huh!" Chang Shou didn't even have time to greet him and hurriedly took He Xi's pulse.

"How about it?"

"The princess is fine. She just fainted because of the shock and the fact that she is pregnant."

The Queen touched the unconscious Hexi with tears in her eyes.

What can I do? Her Xier.

After He Xi woke up, she lay on the bed in a daze, her mind filled with memories of Fu Kang'an and her.

Scene after scene played in my mind, and tears flowed silently.

"crunch-"

The queen stopped the servant who wanted to report and went straight into the house.

"Xi'er."

He Xi saw the queen and forced a smile.

Seeing this, the queen's eyes turned red again.

The older she gets, the more emotional she becomes. When she thinks of what Qianlong said, her heart aches.

"Imperial Mother...is this true?"

He Xi's voice was vague and the Queen turned her face away reluctantly.

"He, really..." He Xi couldn't help sobbing.

"Xi'er, Fukang'an will be fine." The Queen suppressed her sadness and comforted Hexi.

But according to the information we received, the possibility of Fukang'an's survival was very slim.

Hexi is pregnant now and can't be stimulated anymore.

"Wow—Empress Mother!" How could He Xi not know that the Queen was comforting her.

He Xi threw herself into the Queen's arms and cried uncontrollably, pouring out the suppressed sadness.

"Xi'er, calm down, you're pregnant."

Children, yes, she still has children. She can't fall down.

He Xi seemed to wake up suddenly.

"Yao Lin, what happened?" He Xi asked hoarsely.

Seeing Hexi's persistence, the Queen sighed and had to tell her everything she knew.

"There was a traitor in the army. They were ambushed. Yao Lin was shot by an arrow and fell off a cliff. It is unknown whether he is alive or dead."

Although life or death is unknown, falling off a cliff after being shot by an arrow is a 100% chance of survival.

"Who is it!" He Xi gritted her teeth and said angrily, her stomach aching and anger rising in her heart.
