This prince is in good health; Cui Yulu is already pregnant in such a short time.

Cui Yulu's face immediately turned red.

"Sister, your voice is so loud, everyone in the yard can hear you."

She was pregnant, and she couldn't quite believe it, since in previous years she would feel very lethargic when the weather got cold.

"Sister, please don't make a rash statement. Ever since I was injured, I've been feeling lethargic. Don't let this cause the prince to be disappointed."

Cui Yulu told her not to make a fuss, since nothing was confirmed yet, and making a big fuss would only make things worse.

"You're always so cautious. I've been there, and I can tell at a glance whether you're pregnant or not. You're definitely pregnant, so don't doubt it anymore."

Cui Yulu didn't argue with her any further.

After chatting for a while, a servant brought in some snacks.

"The hawthorn cake in the kitchen has been the best lately. You should all come and try it. It's sweet and sour and very appetizing. I really enjoy eating it."

"Pregnant women should eat less hawthorn, as it can easily cause miscarriage."

"Third Sister, you're here again. This is still far from settled. Shall we eat something first?"

After watching Du Sanniang and Cui Yulu banter and chat for a while, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective residences.

Since the embarrassing incident on their wedding night, everyone has moved to their own places, except for San Niang, who is unwilling to leave and wants to spend more time with Cui Yulu.

She never left the manor, but Tuoba Xuan had already bought a house here, a large house with a courtyard, which could fully satisfy Du San Niang's wish to farm.

But she just wouldn't go there; she insisted on being with Cui Yulu.

Tuoba Xuan had no choice but to stay in this villa.

On the other hand, Han Chunying is now three months pregnant, and when she experienced morning sickness, she became quite rounder.

Lin Yun's house was right next to the villa; the two families could be considered neighbors.

Another month later, the small town of Lingshi on the southwestern border was invaded by the Utau tribe.

The Emperor dispatched Fu Xiaoyu to suppress the rebellion.

"I don't know how long it will take you to come back, and I've heard that there are savages there, which is very dangerous. You're sure to get injured again this time."

Cui Yulu kept nagging in his ear.

"My princess, are you worried about my safety? If you're not comfortable with that, why don't you come with me?"

"If I go with you, wouldn't that take up more of your time? What if we miss the opportunity because of this? Wouldn't I become the one who sins?"

Fu Xiaoyu held her in his arms and gently comforted her, "I was worried about leaving you here alone this time, but Third Sister and the others are here with you, so you should be happier."

Cui Yulu understood from his words that he didn't want to take her along.

"Alright, take care of yourself. I'll just stay here quietly."

As she spoke, Cui Yulu pushed her away and prepared to go to bed.

Who knew he would pester me again.

"My wife, I'm leaving for war tomorrow. Shouldn't you serve me well tonight?"

Fu Xiaoyu said to her with a pitiful expression, and then hugged her waist, showering her face and body with delicate kisses.

Cui Yulu couldn't take it anymore and shrank into his arms, giving him the perfect opportunity.

He quickly took advantage of her, and Cui Yulu, her face flushed, hid in his arms.

"Your Highness is still the same, not knowing how to cherish women. I can't be bothered with you."

As she spoke, she turned over and faced away from Fu Xiaoyu.

"My wife, please don't be angry. I won't do it again. Please don't be angry this time."

Cui Yulu didn't say anything, because her stomach was really uncomfortable. It must have been because her movements had been a bit exaggerated.

He held her in his arms, greedily inhaling her fragrance.

We probably won't be able to smell this for a long time.

This time he had to smell it to his heart's content.

She slept in his arms all night, and whenever she moved even slightly, Fu Xiaoyu's arms would always catch her.

It wasn't until dawn that Cui Yulu felt the weight on his body disappear; he must have been off to war.

It wasn't that she didn't want to see him off, but she was too tired to keep her eyes open.

Fu Xiaoyu packed her things and went back to the room to take another look at Cui Yulu. She was fast asleep, like a doll.

Fu Xiaoyu gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back."

Cui Yulu was still holding her stomach, feeling a stuffy feeling there.

Hearing someone whisper in her ear, she merely frowned slightly in unease.

Fu Xiaoyu didn't linger and set off with his soldiers.

Lin Yun also left.

Cui Yulu didn't get out of bed until the sun was high in the sky.

My stomach was very uncomfortable at that moment.

"Oh dear, why does your face look so pale? Are you sick? The prince just left and you're already sick?"

Du Sanniang felt a pang of heartache as she looked at Cui Yulu's pale face.

"The prince has just left, and you've already fallen ill. It's truly heartbreaking. Someone, quickly go and fetch Ji Xiaotang to treat the princess."

At this moment, she didn't want to speak and could only let Du San Niang make arrangements.

My stomach started hurting more and more.

I don't experience this much pain during my period.

Could it be caused by what happened last night? Logically, that shouldn't be the case.

Cui Yulu was in so much pain that her forehead was already sweating.
