Zhan Beiting immediately came to Jiang Jingyue's side and hugged her.

"Yueyue, where did you run off to? After I finished discussing things with the imperial physician, I couldn't find you. I was worried that something had happened to you."

When Jiang Jingyue heard Zhan Beiting say this, she was a little confused.

She was just tired and went inside to take a nap.

I never expected to encounter something like this right after waking up.

For a moment, she couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"Your Highness, you're overthinking this. Yueyue was just a little sleepy and went back to her room to sleep."

Hearing this, Zhan Beiting found it somewhat amusing. How could he have forgotten to search the house first?

If we had looked for the house first, we probably would have found Jiang Jingyue much earlier.

Perhaps it was because he was in such a hurry that he didn't pay any attention to the room.

His thought was that since the person was missing, they must have gone outside.

So his first thought was to send his men out to search.

However, what I didn't expect was that the little woman was sleeping inside the house.

Zhan Beiting looked Jiang Jingyue up and down, and after confirming that she was just sleepy and had no other problems, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yueyue, I'm so glad you're alright. I was really scared when I couldn't find you."

Are you very sleepy? If you want to sleep, go back to sleep. I promise no one will disturb you this time.

When you wake up, you can take your medicine. I have already had it brewed.

However, these medicinal herbs need to be simmered slowly over a low flame, so it will take a little longer. You can get some more sleep.

When Jiang Jingyue heard that she had to take medicine when she woke up, she immediately became somewhat unwilling.

The thing she hates most is taking medicine.

However, she had no choice; Zhan Beiting was watching her closely, and she couldn't refuse.

So she immediately went back inside, hid under the covers, and prepared to sleep.

Anyway, she figured that if she fell asleep, Zhan Beiting definitely wouldn't have pulled her in.

Even if she can't sleep, she will pretend to be asleep.

When Jiang Jingyue woke up again, it was already dark.

She had no idea that she could sleep for so long.

Jiang Jingyue initially thought she had escaped taking the medicine, but she didn't expect that she had just woken up.

Her maidservant immediately brought in the medicine.

Jiang Jingyue frowned as she looked at what the woman was holding.

She genuinely hated this kind of thing, watching as Xiaoju carried the food and walked towards her.

Jiang Jingyue spoke to her immediately.

"Xiaoju, where is the prince? Where did the prince go?"

If Jiang Jingyue wants to do something big, she first needs to confirm whether the person who poses a threat to her is still around.

Xiaoju didn't know why her princess was looking for the prince as soon as she woke up.

However, she still reported the truth.

"Your Highness, His Highness just went out on some business and hasn't returned yet. He'll probably be back soon. Your Highness, the medicine has just been heated up. Please drink it while it's still hot."

Jiang Jingyue looked at the medicine. Although she hadn't drunk it yet, for some reason, she could already feel the bitter taste spreading in her mouth.

Jiang Jingyue knew that this was definitely just psychological.

But she couldn't control herself.

Looking at this bowl of medicine, she couldn't help but imagine what was going on in her mind.

Jiang Jingyue immediately looked at Xiaoju and asked.

"Xiaoju, could you please not take this medicine? I assure you, I am perfectly fine right now."

Hearing Jiang Jingyue say that, Xiaoju shook her head.

"No, Your Highness, the Prince has already instructed me to make sure you drink it with your own eyes."

"Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me. If you don't drink the medicine, the Prince will definitely blame me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing glanced at the bowl of medicine with a grim expression. She really couldn't bring herself to drink it.

"Your Highness, this medicine is actually quite simple to drink. Just pinch your nose, tilt your head back, and pour the medicine down your throat."

"Hurry up, that way you won't smell any bitterness."

Jiang Jingyue remained skeptical of this method, mainly because she felt it was not very feasible.

But this is the only option now; she has no choice but to drink it.

She felt that next time, if she wanted to avoid taking the medicine, she would have to get Xiaoju away as well.

In the end, Jiang Jingyue couldn't persuade Xiaoju any further and had no choice but to agree to drink the medicine.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the baby in Jiang Jingyue's belly is already three months old.

She kept her pregnancy a closely guarded secret, mainly because she was afraid that someone might try to take advantage of the child in her womb.

The baby in her womb is now three months old, and even the Empress doesn't know it.

Today they plan to tell the Empress this news, so that she can also be happy.

While Jiang Jingyue was still tidying up, Zhan Beiting came in. When he saw Jiang Jingyue's slightly protruding belly, he couldn't help but feel a little amazed.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"Yueyue, your belly is so big now. It didn't look this big to me a while ago. It seems to have suddenly grown big."
