Jun Yannuo didn't know how long he had been standing alone in the garden. It wasn't until Qin Kou'er was already in front of him that he came to his senses as if he had just heard something.

What are you doing standing there like that?

Qin Kou'er stood before Jun Yannuo, like a white camellia swaying in the wind, so elegant, yet so composed, as she smiled at him.

Jun Yannuo quietly looked at Qin Kou'er, his thoughts flowing like a winding stream through every corner of the past years.

It contained his own expectations, his own dreams, and Qin Kou'er's gentle gaze.

However, all of this was just a mirage. Finally, one day, they reached a crossroads in their lives, and she went left while he went right.

Thinking of this, Jun Yannuo smiled unconsciously.

Qin Kou'er looked at Jun Yannuo's somewhat bitter and empty smile and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Turning around, Qin Kou'er leaned against the railing, her hair swaying gently in the wind.

"You already know I'm pregnant?"

Jun Yannuo watched Qin Kou'er's retreating figure, then slowly walked to her side and said with a faint smile, "With Ling'er around, it seems difficult to keep any secrets!"

Qin Kou'er couldn't help but sigh softly again: "This is my fault. I really didn't expect that the Princess could see through my actions! It seems that I was still too careless!"

"I told you long ago, life in the palace is unpredictable. Everyone has something hidden in their heart that others can't see, and if you're not careful, you could be doomed!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, "Yes! Let alone Shu Lingxi being so clever and clever, even an ant next to you might trip you up in this imperial city!"

Hearing Qin Kou'er say that, Jun Yannuo couldn't help but chuckle. He turned to look at her and said softly, "You're just being a bit paranoid! It's not that exaggerated!"

Qin Kou'er laughed along, "That's really hard to say! I think people in the capital look at us like we're idiots!"

Jun Yannuo smiled and shook his head: "They think we're idiots, but I don't think they're that smart either! Come here, let me take your pulse!"

Two jokes gently dispelled the subtle distance between Qin Kou'er and Jun Yan Nuo. Jun Yan Nuo took Qin Kou'er's hand and sat her down beside him, carefully taking her pulse.

Qin Kou'er was very well-behaved this time, and didn't say much, just quietly looked at Jun Yannuo.

After a while, Jun Yannuo gently withdrew his hand.

"How is it? Is the child alright?"

This was the first time Qin Kou'er had her pulse taken since she became pregnant, and she unconsciously asked the question first.

"Your pulse is very steady! Your health is also quite good, the baby is fine and growing well. Your pulse is strong. However, you developed a dampness and cold condition from practicing martial arts when you were young. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to regulate it, so as not to affect the baby!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, then unconsciously touched her slightly protruding belly.

In the past, Qin Kou'er would try her best to hide this action, but now that everyone has noticed, she has nothing left to hide!

Since she's already pregnant, do you think they can unite against a pregnant woman?

Jun Yannuo felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he watched Qin Kou'er's actions, but his face became increasingly calm and composed.

"Your body is starting to take shape now, so you'd better be extra careful when moving around the palace!"

Qin Kou'er nodded, then smiled and said, "The Emperor already knows about this! Moreover, the two most powerful concubines in the harem are no longer here. Even if the rest want to cause me trouble, they probably won't dare to speak up easily. The situation will be much better!"

Jun Yannuo nodded in understanding, "That's good! Things are almost done now. After the storm has passed, you should have Lan Linxue go to the Emperor and get the wedding done as soon as possible!"

"I came here to talk to you about the marriage!"

Jun Yannuo was taken aback. "Marriage? Didn't the Emperor say you would get married in a month? Has it been moved up?"

Qin Kou'er shook her head, "No! But I want to move it up!"

Jun Yan Nuo immediately looked at Qin Kou'er with a hint of mockery, "I say, Sect Leader, even if we are people of the martial arts world, there are some things we should still be more reserved about!"

Qin Kou'er immediately understood that Jun Yannuo was teasing her, but she didn't laugh. Instead, she said seriously, "You men's thoughts are always so simple and direct. No matter how good Lan Linxue is, I'm not so desperate to marry him. I want to use this marriage to completely expose the power behind Hu Tianyong!"

Jun Yannuo was completely taken aback this time. He frowned slightly, stared intently at Qin Kou'er, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

Qin Kou'er leaned closer to Jun Yannuo and whispered, "I want to force Lan Xiuyuan to rebel during my wedding!"

Jun Yannuo was startled by these words, but he tried his best to remain calm. "Tell me your specific thoughts!"

Qin Kou'er thought for a moment, then leaned closer to Jun Yannuo and said, "Hu Tianyong will definitely leave the remaining Northern assassins to Lan Xiuyuan. Moreover, he will certainly instruct Lan Xiuyuan not only not to rescue him at this time, but he would love to kick him while he's down so he can take the throne himself. Therefore, the best course of action for Lan Xiuyuan now is to preserve his strength and remain inactive until the enemy does! He must hide himself. Only if he lives can the Hu family have a chance to rise again. Therefore, these people will inevitably have to continue to infiltrate our ranks with Lan Xiuyuan."
