When you're on a military campaign, if you're not capable enough, you can only buy your safety with money.

Song Tangli was exceptionally thoughtful in this regard, and her hints were quite obvious.

Li Zhaoxian knew exactly what she meant, but he then said angrily.

“Li Zhaoyun is a despicable man. Now that he sees me in dire straits, he is eagerly trying to win over the important officials in the court. Now everyone is praising him.”

"It's not surprising. The Empress has been waiting for this day for a long time. Now that their time to shine has finally come, they naturally want to be proud of themselves."

Song Tangli answered calmly, then took Li Zhaoxian's hand and continued speaking.

"But it doesn't matter. As long as we think of a way, even if it costs money to buy peace, I will stay here and keep an eye on things for you, and nothing unexpected will happen."

This is the best solution we can think of in a short time, but it's a bit of a hassle.

Song Tangli was already pregnant and had some health issues, so worrying about these things would only make things more difficult.

Li Zhaoxian, on the other hand, lived a peaceful and smooth life, never experiencing any major storms.

This was the first time, so naturally, I was extremely afraid.

But now, there's no other way but to bite the bullet and go for it.

He realized this, so after listening, he remained silent for a moment, but then could only nod.

"Yes, it's good that you're here to help me solve my problems. Having you is my luck."

Lee So-hyun would only ever say this one sentence, and then hug Song Tang-ri with an expression of deep emotion.

Song Tangli was unusually calm. She had long understood Li Zhaoxian's methods.

"Your Highness, do not worry. Your concubine will always support you from behind, no matter what difficulties you encounter."

Li Zhaoxian, having sobered up somewhat from the alcohol, smiled contentedly and said...

"It's so good to have you."

Song Tangxue was too lazy to know their current situation and was currently preoccupied with her own affairs.

She sensed a slight change, and that morning confirmed her suspicions.

Haitang brought over freshly made rice noodle rolls and greeted Song Tangxue with great delight.

"The chef is finally back! Isn't this what you've been craving the most? Come and have a taste."

After hearing this, Song Tangxue walked over, but the familiar smell did not whet her appetite.

Instead, he suddenly frowned, covered his nose, and ran to the side.

Xie Qianzhong had just arrived and was puzzled by the situation, but he quickly followed.

Haitang, unaware of what was going on, also went along.

Song Tangxue felt a little nauseous in her stomach and gagged a few times, but she didn't vomit.

Xie Qianzhong asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Haitang finally realized what was happening and looked at Song Tangxue with a face full of surprise.

"You're not pregnant, are you?!"

When Xie Qianzhong heard Haitang say this, he thought it was very likely and immediately widened his eyes, looking at Song Tangxue in surprise.

He seemed unable to believe that he had become a father so quickly.

Song Tangxue became slightly shy and glared at Haitang gently: "You're so talkative."

Xie Qianzhong felt his heart beating faster and faster, and asked in disbelief.

"Could it really be true?"

"I've felt a bit nauseous in my stomach these past two mornings, and it's even worse today, so I think it's true."

"Madam, you are a doctor, don't you know how to check your own pulse to see if you are pregnant? Perhaps I should go and fetch someone right now?"

Haitang spoke with a hint of disdain, and after finishing her sentence, she was already planning to leave.

This time, Song Tangxue did not stop Xie, but Xie Qianzhong was even more nervous as he supported him and they were about to go inside.

"There's no need to be so tense. Don't be so paranoid. I don't like it when people are like this."

Seeing how concerned Xie Qianzhong was about her, Song Tangxue quickly spoke up.

Xie Qianzhong, however, was exceptionally serious and spoke with utmost solemnity.

"You're pregnant now, so you have to be careful. People say the first three months are the most important."

"How do you know all this? That's really strange."

Song Tangxue was slightly surprised and muttered something.

Xie Qianzhong did not answer, but instead put the culprit, rice noodle roll, aside and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

"From today onwards, I will personally take care of all your needs, including your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."

"You are the prime minister of a country, why do you need to be like this? Besides, they are taking good care of me, so there is no need to be so nervous."

Without hesitation, Song Tangxue refused, and after speaking, she looked at Xie Qianzhong with even greater sincerity.

"You really don't need to be like this. You're just making me feel more stressed. It's just pregnancy, there's no need to be so nervous."

Song Tangxue emphasized this repeatedly, but Xie Qianzhong insisted that it was absolutely necessary.

"You should be taken good care of anyway, especially now that you're pregnant. You should be even more careful about what happens outside, so just leave it alone."

Xie Qianzhong answered seriously, and then told Song Tangxue.

"Please give me this opportunity? I really want to take care of you all personally, so that I won't have any regrets."

During the ten months of pregnancy, Xie Qianzhong wanted to be involved as well, rather than having Song Tangxue bear the burden alone.

Because he knew how difficult pregnancy was, he was unwilling to listen to Song Tangxue.

Song Tangxue was initially quite insistent, but seeing how serious he looked, she suddenly couldn't bring herself to refuse.

She felt a little reluctant, but after thinking about it for a while, she could only nod and say it.

"In that case, I'll listen to you. But you must remember not to go too far, and don't be paranoid."

After saying that, he added another sentence.

"These are my heartfelt words, you must listen to me."

Xie Qianzhong felt that it would be good for them to compromise, and he could accept it, so he readily agreed.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. But you must remember to always put yourself first and not work as hard as before."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lianzhi came in, beaming with joy.

"I heard about this good news and came over immediately. From today onwards, you must be careful."

We had just finished dealing with one when another one arrived.

Song Tangxue suddenly felt extremely tired, so she quickly said something.

"I just told the adults not to be so paranoid, and here you are again. Remember, don't be too conspicuous."

"Don't worry, I know what to do. I will never let this news leak out."

Lianzhi spoke with great seriousness, and then she also told Song Tangxue.

"But you should indeed be more careful, after all, there are always people with ulterior motives around you, secretly observing you, so it's always good to be cautious."
