Chapter 986 Chapter 986, Peeping

It was already night when Daohua woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, Xiao Yeyang came over to her attentively: "Are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

The series of questions made Daohua a little overwhelmed: "Don't worry, I'm just tired these days. I'll be fine after a rest." As he said that, he sat up.

Xiao Yeyang quickly brought a pillow for Daohua to lean on: "You, you don't care about your own body at all. Do you know that you are pregnant?"

Daohua was stunned by the question and it took her several seconds to come back to her senses: "I'm pregnant?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Doctor Ge took my pulse and it's been over a month."

Daohua touched her stomach, somewhat unresponsive.

She's pregnant again?!

Xiao Yeyang warned, "Doctor Ge said you've been up all night for several nights in a row and are very tired. You might have a miscarriage and need to rest for a while."

Daohua quickly asked, "Will it affect the child?"

Seeing Daohua's frightened face, Xiao Yeyang quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Doctor Ge said that you are in good health and nothing serious is wrong. Just rest well."

Rice Flower breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Guo Ruomei came over with the Tremella and Bird's Nest porridge she had cooked herself. As soon as she arrived, she reminded Daohua to take good care of herself and not to overwork herself.

The rice flowers listened obediently.

Xiao Yeyang brought the porridge to Daohua: "I'll go to my uncle's place to get the rice, you chat with mother."

Rice Flower nodded.

After her son left, Guo Ruomei looked at her daughter-in-law's pale face and couldn't help but say, "You're so careless. This isn't your first child. How come you didn't notice it at all?"

Daohua gave a bitter smile and said, "I really didn't notice. First, Master was injured and Daozi was captured. After we finally came back, Master's condition worsened. Even if I felt unwell, I thought it was just fatigue."

Guo Ruomei sighed: "There have been a lot of things happening recently, but fortunately, God blesses me, the child is fine."

Having said that, he paused.

"Let Daozi sleep over here these few days, so he won't bother you."

Daohua hesitated. "I feel at ease with Daozi, but the little guy just got arrested, so he must have been affected to some extent. He feels insecure right now, so let him sleep with us."

"Besides, if I let him go to your place right after I got pregnant, he might think that Ye Yang and I don't want him anymore now that we have a younger brother or sister. That's not good for him."

Guo Ruomei thought it made sense: "You are very thoughtful. I just wanted you to have a good rest, but I forgot to consider Daozi's feelings."

Daohua smiled and said, "I know you're doing this for my own good, Mom. When I get heavier after a while, Daozi will definitely need your help."

Guo Ruomei smiled: "Why bother? He's my grandson, I'm happy to take care of him."

After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while. When Xiao Yeyang came back with the rice, Guo Ruomei left.

"Mom, am I going to have a little brother or sister?"

Daozi walked to the bed and carefully touched Daohua's belly.

On the way back, his father reminded him several times that his mother was pregnant with a little brother or sister and asked him not to disturb her.

Daohua asked with a smile, "Does Daozi like a brother or a sister?"

Daozi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked instead, "Now that mother has a younger brother or sister, does she like me more or her younger brother or sister more?"

Xiao Yeyang heard this and couldn't help but pat his son's butt with a smile: "You little bastard, you fought with your father for your mother before, and now you want to fight with your brother and sister?"

Daozi ignored Xiao Yeyang and looked at Daohua stubbornly: "Mom, you haven't answered me yet."

Daohua: "Can't mother like them all?"

Daozi thought for a moment and said, "I can like them all, but there must be some I like more. Just like, I like eating cakes and fruits, but my favorite is still eating meat."

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, who shrugged and spread his hands helplessly.

Daohua rubbed her son's head and said, "Mom likes Daozi the most because he is the older brother and will help mom take care of the younger brothers and sisters."

Daozi's eyes lit up: "Really? Mom, you can't lie to me. Let's make a pinky promise." As he said that, he stretched out his chubby little hand and made a pinky promise with Daohua.

After pulling the hook, Daozi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I will help you look after your brothers and sisters."

Rice Flower smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Rice."

Daozi puffed out his chest and clenched his fists and said, "I will be a good brother." If his younger brothers and sisters were disobedient, he would use the martial arts taught by Grandpa Chu to beat them into submission.

After letting Guyu take Daozi down to wash up, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and asked, "Is everything okay over there, Master?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "My uncle's condition is getting better. He's much more energetic now that he knows you're pregnant. It's different now that he has someone to rely on."

Before coming to Xiliang, they had already agreed with their uncle that Yi Yi's second child, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, would be adopted by their uncle.

Daohua was a little unsure: "Master is the Duke. If I really give birth to a daughter, can I let her inherit the Duke's Mansion?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Uncle Huang has always been indebted to my mother-in-law and uncle. If my uncle really wants our daughter, Uncle Huang will compromise."

Having said that, he fell silent. Thinking that his daughter was going to be adopted by her uncle, he still felt a little reluctant.

Daohua didn't have such an idea. Anyway, her master would live with them, her daughter would grow up by her side, and she would even get a title. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Capital city, imperial palace.

When the emperor saw the letter sent back by Xiao Yeyang, his face suddenly became gloomy. The ministers who were summoned to the government hall to discuss state affairs were so frightened that they dared not even make a sound.

The eldest prince and several others were also there. Finally, the eldest prince lost his patience and wanted to show off in front of the emperor. He asked eagerly, "Father, what happened?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "The sand bandits in Xiliang are rampant. My uncle was shot by a bandit and is now seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince and the others immediately looked furious: "How did Xiao Yeyang protect our uncle? How did he let our uncle get hurt?"

The emperor glanced at the eldest princes and said nothing.

He knew the situation in Xiliang. Every once in a while, the Jinling Guards from Xiliang would send news to the capital. He knew that governing Xiliang was not easy.

The emperor was worried about Gu Jian and had no intention of discussing political affairs. He waved his hand and said, "You can leave."

No one dared to say anything and quietly left the main hall.

As soon as they came out, people from all sides quickly received the news and knew that Gu Jian was in trouble.

This matter has aroused the concerns of many people.

Concubine An immediately summoned the eldest prince to Zhongcui Palace.

The eldest prince bowed to Concubine An and said, "Mother, is there something you want me to do?"

Concubine An looked at her son, Long Zhang Feng Zi, smiled and asked him to sit down, then spoke: "The Duke of Fuguo is critically ill, what are your plans?"

The eldest prince thought for a moment and said, "I know that your father values ​​the Duke of Fuguo, but the Duke of Fuguo is far away in Xiliang. Even if I wanted to show my filial piety, I would have no chance."

Concubine An shook her head. "You, you still don't think enough. Mother asks you, if the Duke of Fuguo has no children, what will happen to his title when he dies?"

Hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes suddenly lit up and he stood up excitedly: "What does mother mean?"

Concubine An: "You have two legitimate sons. The eldest will inherit your family business in the future, but what about the youngest? Have you made any plans for him?"

The eldest prince began to move around. After a while, he looked at Noble Consort An and asked, "Mother, do you wish to adopt my youngest son as the Duke of Fuguo?"

Concubine An smiled and nodded: "That's a title that can be inherited for three generations."

The eldest prince frowned and said, "I am willing to do so, but I'm afraid the eldest princess will be reluctant to let me go."

Concubine An's expression turned cold. "Foolish! They say the Duke of Fuguo is critically ill. Even if he survives this time, how many years can he live? Your son is still your son. You just let him inherit the title. How can you not understand such a simple truth?"

The eldest prince nodded and said, "Mother, you are right. I will go back and talk to the eldest prince's wife about this matter immediately." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, will the emperor agree?"

Concubine An smiled and said, "The Emperor values ​​the Gu family. How could he watch them lose their inheritance? Go back and tell the eldest prince's wife. Leave the rest to my mother."

Hearing this, the eldest prince looked relieved.

Since the fall of the Jiang family, although my father did not depose the queen, all matters in the harem are now handed over to the four concubines to manage.

His mother was a noble concubine, the leader of the four concubines. There was nothing she couldn't do, which also made him the leader of all the princes.

It was not just Concubine An and her son who had the same idea. On the same day, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De all summoned the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince, and the Fifth Prince to their respective palaces.
