Although Shen Li was very worried, he remained calm. After all, the battlefield was too chaotic, and it was normal for the information to be inaccurate. Perhaps accurate news would come soon.

But she overlooked that if the news was false, such a battle report would not be sent back.

The days of waiting became especially long, and Shen Li's heart sank a little more with every passing day.

Gradually, her heart grew colder and colder. There was no new news. Could it be that Qin Yu really...

Then she denied it again, saying that it was impossible, with her third brother here, and the gangsters he brought with him, they would definitely protect him and would not let anything happen to him.

Although she was doing everything as usual, everyone could see with their own eyes that she had lost weight.

"Ali, eat more." Liu Dahua said as he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks.

"Mom, I'm full."

"Take two more bites."

Shen Li had no choice but to eat two more bites. Then he saw Shen Han hurriedly walked in: "A Li, there is..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Xiangning's maid Hongyue also ran in hurriedly: "Prince Consort, the princess is about to give birth, you should go back and take a look."

Everyone was stunned, and then hurried to the princess's mansion.

When we arrived, the midwife had already started delivering the baby.

Listening to Wen Xiangning's screams inside, Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little scared. Giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. Not only is it painful, but if anything happens, she may very well die.

As the screams grew louder, Shen Li looked at Liu Dahua worriedly: "Mom, is sister-in-law okay?"

Liu Dahua was an experienced person after all, so she was not as worried as Shen Li: "It's okay, don't worry, judging from the sound, the baby should be born soon."

Shen Han paced back and forth worriedly.

"Brother, mother said sister-in-law is fine, don't worry."

Shen Han nodded, but still walked around worriedly.

Shen Li had no choice but to let him go.

About a quarter of an hour later, I finally heard the baby crying.

"It's born, mother, it's born." Shen Li said excitedly.

Shen Han was so excited that he walked straight into the house, but Liu Dahua stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, and go in after the midwife comes out."

Shen Han waited anxiously for a moment, and the two midwives finally came out: "Congratulations, Prince Consort, on the birth of your precious son."

Shen Han hurried in to see Wen Xiangning.

Shen Li looked at the two midwives and said, "Go and claim your reward."

When she went in, Liu Dahua was holding and teasing her newborn baby, Wen Xiangning was lying weakly on the bed, and Shen Han was wiping her sweat with a handkerchief.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"Then have a good rest." Shen Li said, and looked at the baby in Liu Dahua's arms: "Mom, is it a boy or a girl?"

"boy."

Shen Li poked the baby's face with his hand, marveling at the magic of life.

At this time, Shen Han spoke up: "By the way, A-Li, our army successfully defeated Beiyuan and has returned to the capital. I was about to tell you about this, but Hongyue interrupted me."

"Is there any news about Qin Yu?" Since we have won, is Qin Yu okay?

"It wasn't mentioned, but things may not be that simple. Think about it, why did they all return to the court before they knew we won? Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they have sent back the battle report first?"

"Brother, are they in the palace now?"

"should be."

Shen Li turned around and left: "I'll go take a look."

"Take my token." Wen Xiangning instructed.

Shen Li took the token from Hongyue's hand and went straight to the palace.

Along the way, she prayed that Qin Yu would return safely.

As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she stopped there, then looked at the person in front of her from afar, and then saw the person opening his arms to her.

Shen Li ran over and threw himself into the man's arms.

She hugged him tightly: "Why did you come back just now? Do you know how worried I was?" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

Qin Yu also hugged her tightly: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I made you worry."

"Do you know how worried I was when the war report said that your life or death was unknown? But I kept telling myself that you would be fine and would come back alive. However, after so long, there was still no news from you. I was really waiting in agony. I thought countless times about what I would do if you died. But in the end, I told myself to wait a little longer."

Qin Yu let her go, looked at the tears on her face, and took out a handkerchief to wipe them for her: "Don't cry, it's my fault, but this is a long story, I will tell you slowly later."

Shen Li nodded and glanced at the handkerchief that Qin Yu used to wipe her tears. She felt that it looked very familiar.

"A Li, can't you see that I'm such a grown-up? You only care about your lover." Shen Xing joked.

Shen Li then looked at Shen Xing, Ye Muyu, and Gu Chengan.

"Third brother, Sister Ye, you have also entered the palace?"

"Yes, Qin Yu said that I must go to the palace and explain things to the emperor. Otherwise, do you think I want to go?" Shen Xing said.

"Yes, you don't know that the emperor appointed him as a general, but he was unwilling and directly refused." Ye Muyu said with a smile.

Shen Li understood why he refused. He was used to the world of martial arts, so how could he tolerate the constraints of the court?

"I hope you all come back safely."

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it." Shen Xing said.

When Shen Li saw Shen Xing leaving, she also said hello to Gu Cheng'an, so she also nodded to Gu Cheng'an, and then returned to the mansion with everyone.

When Shen Li and Qin Yu hugged each other just now, Gu Cheng'an's heart was calm. Now he just wanted his mother to be alive and well and for the family to be together. This was his biggest wish now.

He went to the battlefield, firstly to serve his country, and secondly to make merit so that the emperor would release his mother.

As for Shen Li, he no longer had any ideas, and even if he did... he could only bury them deep in his heart.

After returning home, Shen Li did not rush Qin Yu to tell him what had happened. Instead, he asked someone to prepare a bath for him so that he could relax.

Then he asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and after he had eaten, he had a good rest.

As long as the people can come back safely, as for the rest, you can take your time, there is no rush.

The next day, when Shen Li got up and went to the dining room, he found Qin Yu already sitting on a chair: "Did you have a good rest?"

"Very good, a dreamless night until dawn."

"That's good."

After the family had breakfast, Shen Li, Shen Liang, Shen Xing, and Ye Muyu went into the study.

Just as they were about to speak, Shen Han also came in.

"Brother, why are you back?" Shen Li felt that shouldn't he be taking care of Wen Xiangning at this time.

"Xiang Ning asked me to come back to see you. She is worried about you."

"I'm fine, bro."

"Yes, Qin Yu is back. What else do you want? But what do you want to talk about in the study?"

Shen Xing glanced at Qin Yu and said, "You should speak."
