Qin Hanwu was caught off guard by her slap and didn't know what had happened.

Jiang Jingyue looked at the five finger marks that suddenly appeared on his face, which looked both comical and funny.

However, seeing Qin Hanwu's somewhat unpleasant expression, Jiang Jingyue immediately backed down.

She seemed to have gotten too excited just now and slapped the emperor.

Jiang Jingyue immediately pulled back the blanket and hid inside.

"Your Majesty, I just woke up and am still a little groggy. Please don't take it to heart!"

While dodging, Jiang Jingyue spoke to Qin Hanwu outside.

However, she kept the blanket tightly drawn to her, not daring to let go, because she was worried that Qin Hanwu would do something to her if she did.

To Jiang Jingyue's surprise, Qin Hanwu actually pulled her, blanket and all, into his arms.

"Xiao Jing, you just beat me up, it's not good to be such a coward now!"

Hearing Qin Hanwu's tone, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but speak up.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, if I say I didn't do it on purpose, will Your Majesty believe me?"

Seeing the timid little woman's appearance, Qin Hanwu couldn't help but pat her head and say to her with a smile.

"Xiao Jing, I won't blame you. After all, my favorite person is our Xiao Jing."

Upon hearing Qin Hanwu's words, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but laugh.

She nuzzled her little head against Qin Hanwu's chest and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, I feel so happy right now! With Your Majesty and the baby in my belly by my side, I am truly blessed."

Qin Hanwu was incredibly happy. He felt that the time he spent with Jiang Jingyue was the happiest time of his life, and he wished he could be with Jiang Jingyue every moment.

However, he knew this would be difficult because they all had their own things to do.

He didn't want to stay together all the time, but Qin Hanwu thought that he and Jiang Jingyue had a lot of time left in their lives, so they could take it slow.

Before they knew it, it was Jiang Jingyue's due date. Qin Hanwu was more anxious than anyone else. He woke up early in the morning, sat down next to Jiang Jingyue, and took her hand.

When he felt the coldness in his hands, Qin Hanwu couldn't help but reach out and rub them for Jiang Jingyue so that her hands could warm up quickly.

However, even after he rubbed it for a while, Jiang Jingyue's hand still showed no signs of warming up.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for that. My hands have always been like this. No matter how much you rub them, they'll still be cold and won't warm up."

When Qin Hanwu heard Jiang Jingyue say that, he was stunned for a moment. After realizing what she meant, he looked at Jiang Jingyue with heartache.

"Yueyue, why are you like this! Have your hands always been cold? How come I didn't notice?"

Qin Hanwu felt a pang of guilt. He had been with Jiang Jingyue for so long, so why hadn't he noticed this situation with her?

"Xiao Jing, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Seeing his face full of guilt, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but reach out and push him, and said to him.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. You should go to the morning court, otherwise you will be late."

Qin Hanwu had no desire to attend the morning court session, but he had no choice; he still had to do what he was supposed to do.

He now hopes that when he finishes the morning court session and rushes back, Jiang Jingyue will not have made a move yet.

Qin Hanwu came to Jiang Jingyue's side, cupped her small face, kissed her forehead, and then looked at Jiang Jingyue and said.

"Xiao Jing, I'm leaving. Be a good girl and wait for me to come back."

After watching Qin Hanwu leave, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but speak to Xiao Fu beside her.

"His Majesty has become increasingly clingy lately. He follows me everywhere I go."

Xiao Fu couldn't help but laugh and said to Jiang Jingyue.

"Your Majesty, the Prince is acting this way because he cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't treat you like this at all. It's because he cares about you that he's worried about you."

Jiang Jingyue understood what Xiao Fu was saying. She knew that Qin Hanwu was worried about her, which was why she felt anxious and fearful every day.

"But Xiao Fu, the baby should be coming out soon. After all, several days have passed, so why is there still no sign of the baby?"

Xiao Fu didn't really understand this either, so she could only ask the midwife.

"Your Majesty, how about I ask the midwife what she has to say?"

Jiang Jingyue nodded. It was indeed better to ask a professional about this matter.

Xiao Fu was just about to leave when she almost bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction.

"This servant greets Your Majesty, may Your Majesty enjoy ten thousand years of good fortune and peace."

Xiao Fu's words made Jiang Jingyue look up immediately.

When she saw that Qin Hanwu had really returned, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but look up at him.

"Your Majesty, how come you finished the morning court session so quickly? Didn't you just leave not long ago?"

Jiang Jingyue looked at him with some confusion, but Qin Hanwu did not reply. Instead, he came to Jiang Jingyue's side and hugged her. With a strong pull, Jiang Jingyue fell into his arms.

“Xiao Jing, I was still worried about you, so I came here. I was worried that if your water broke later, you would be scared, so I decided to take you with me to the morning court.”

Hearing Qin Hanwu's words, Jiang Jingyue was both amused and exasperated, and couldn't help but look at Qin Hanwu and say something.

"Your Majesty, if you take me to the morning court, the ministers will definitely have objections."

The ministers may have their opinions, but Qin Hanwu can't control that. What he wants now is for his daughter, Xiao Jing, to be by her side the moment she gives birth, so she won't be afraid.

"Xiao Jing, I know you must be a little scared right now. Don't worry, I will stay with you, and that way you won't be scared."

Jiang Jingyue actually wanted to tell Qin Hanwu that she wasn't scared at all, but seeing the look of fear in Qin Hanwu's eyes, which was even more frightened than hers, Jiang Jingyue didn't say anything more.

She simply stretched out her arms to Qin Yehan so that he could hug her.

Your Majesty, I will listen to you. Whatever Your Majesty says, I will do. Is that alright?

Qin Hanwu carried Jiang Jingyue to the top of the main hall and had her sit on the dragon throne.

Ignoring the whispers and gossip among the ministers below, he even had food prepared for Jiang Jingyue.
