In the afternoon, the eldest princess was still sleeping.

At night, still sleeping.

After dinner, it was late at night and we had a midnight snack, but the eldest princess showed no sign of waking up.

Dingguo Hou couldn't help but worry: "Qin girl, why hasn't my baby woken up yet? Is there anything wrong?"

Qin Ye was silent.

Qin girl?

My baby?

The Marquis is really a very capable man. No wonder Ling Qianyi is also so capable. This made her think of the time when he gave her some advice today and pinched her ear tip...

He really is good at it!

She checked the eldest princess' pulse and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Everything is stable. Giving birth is a life-threatening event. The eldest princess's vitality has been greatly damaged, so it is normal for her to sleep for a long time."

"That's good, that's good..."

Dingguo Hou murmured in relief, holding the woman's hands and kissing them softly:

"Thank you for your hard work, my baby. We will never have any more children. It's all your fault for not listening to me. You said you wanted to give Yi'er a brother or sister to keep him company. After a hundred years of us being together, he will have his own family. Will he still be lonely?"

"Why are you worrying about this? You are so naughty..."

He muttered in a complaining tone, but his words were full of love.

Hearing this, Ling Qianyi's body trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal...

An hour passed and it was late at night.

Dingguo Hou said, "Go to sleep, girl Qin. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble today. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Qin Ye shook his head, "I'm not sleepy yet."

Being pregnant, she was actually a little sleepy, but what she was thinking about was...

Zong Zhengchen...

She didn't come back all night, and he didn't intend to send anyone to look for her...

Thinking about these things, I feel bitter and depressed.

Another hour and a half passed.

At three o'clock in the morning, the eldest princess finally woke up slowly, but she was still very weak. Her pulse had stabilized and the bleeding had stopped, so she was not seriously injured.

At this point, Marquis Dingguo was completely relieved.

When Qin Ye was invited to stay overnight, he refused.

Seeing that she was determined to go back, Marquis Dingguo could not stop her, so as it was late at night and dark, he sent twenty elite guards to escort Qin Ye back to Prince Chen's Palace.

It was four o'clock when we arrived.

Everything is quiet and everyone is fast asleep. Only the sound of the wind and the swaying shadows of the trees make the air extremely peaceful.

"Meow……"

A wild cat jumped past the corner.

Qin Ye rubbed his slightly tired brows. She should have gone straight back to Hanfeng Courtyard to sleep, but she took a detour.

Yue'er was puzzled: "Princess, are you going to..."

"Shh!" Yunying grabbed Yue'er's hand and signaled her to be quiet.

The two girls slowed down and followed behind. After walking for a while, Qin Ye's back disappeared around the corner in front.

The route she took passed by the study...

When I passed by the study, it was pitch black inside. Moonlight poured in through the half-open window. The light was so dim that I couldn't see anything clearly. It was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there.

Qin Ye looked towards the study.

She knew he was...

I have a lot to say to him. When it's late at night and no one is around, thoughts come to my mind and those thoughts become more impulsive.

She misses him.

Want to see him.

Want to talk to him.

She pursed her lips to hide her bitterness and recalled the trick that Marquis Dingguo had given her. She used it regardless of whether it worked or not.

Qin Ye lowered his eyes and walked normally. Suddenly, he accidentally sprained his ankle and fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

"ah……"

In an instant, a shadow covered her head, and the familiar mint scent filled her nostrils, making her nose sore and she couldn't control the urge to get jealous.

She knew he was there.

He must be there!
