Lin Yuxin was still feeling scared. She was almost out of breath from the kiss and was asking her what happened.
Lin Yuxin slapped him again, annoyed, and said unhappily:
"Are you a reincarnated pervert? I've slapped you so many times and you still won't stop!"
"Xin Xin, are you angry? Did I scare you just now? I'm sorry! I was just missing you too much, I won't do it again next time! Xin Xin, don't be angry!"
When Li Xiaochen saw that Lin Yuxin was really angry, he also felt a little regretful. He had been so reckless just now and scared her.
"It's okay if you scare me, but if you scare the child, you can get out."
Lin Yuxin glared at him again and said, then turned her head away and refused to look at him!
"When did I scare the child? What child... You mean... a child? What... a child?"
Li Xiaochen realized something was wrong with his words halfway through, and was momentarily stunned, stuttering as he spoke. This was the first time he had ever done this in his life.
“What other child could it be? Look! Here, our child!”
Lin Yuxin turned her head and saw his dazed look. Her anger subsided, and she took his big hand and gently placed it on her stomach.
Li Xiaochen felt like he was dreaming at this moment. He was going to have a child? His and Xin Xin's child?
Is this true?
Li Xiaochen asked again in disbelief, muttering to himself.
"It's true. It's only been a month, before we left Beijing. During this time, I've been either sleeping too much or eating too much. The pregnancy symptoms are too obvious. I only realized something was wrong yesterday. I took my pulse, and it's true. It's just that the pregnancy is too early to be very obvious. I'll be able to get a confirmed diagnosis in about half a month."
Lin Yuxin noticed his nervousness, leaned in and kissed him on the lips, speaking softly.
"We're having a baby! I'm going to be a father!!"
Li Xiaochen still found it unbelievable. His long wait here tonight to enter the palace had been worth it, because he was going to have an heir!
"Yes, yes, yes, you're a father now!!"
Lin Yuxin smiled and agreed, giving him ample time to react.
"Xin Xin, it's so good to have you!"
Li Xiaochen excitedly hugged Lin Yuxin tightly, and exclaimed that he was grateful to God for sending Xinxin to his side, so that he finally had a home.
"Um!"
Lin Yuxin let him hold her, gently stroking his back with both hands to comfort him.
After a long while, Li Xiaochen finally recovered. He released Lin Yuxin, and as if he had thought of something, he suddenly said:
“Xin Xin, I’m taking you out of the palace. It’s too dangerous for you to be alone in the palace! You’re pregnant now, and I don’t want you to take any risks.”
“I can’t leave now. I need to keep Qiu Qiyi in check. If I leave, he’ll have the energy to deal with you, and then none of us will be able to leave.”
"Moreover, our purpose in coming here this time is to force him to step down. Otherwise, once he realizes this, he will target Xia Guo. If we go back before he falls, what will happen to Qiu Jingfan?"
Lin Yuxin shook her head and explained to him that she was not one to give up halfway; once she had promised Qiu Jingfan something, she had to complete it.
Moreover, she knew that Li Xiaochen understood; he was just confused because he was concerned!
"But I'm worried about leaving you alone in the palace!"
Li Xiaochen said worriedly.
"It's alright. Qiu Qiyi won't punish me yet. His intention in hitting me was to threaten you, but now I've made him too preoccupied to even think about him. But this makes it easier for you to carry out your plans."
Lin Yuxin smiled and squeezed Li Xiaochen's hand, then said.
"Alright, I've already arranged with Qiu Jingfan to make our move in three days. As long as Qiu Qiyi can stay inactive for three more days, that's fine."
Li Xiaochen thought about it and didn't insist, so he told him the time they had set.
"Okay! I got it. I guarantee he won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!!"
Lin Yuxin smiled and gave her assurance.
Seeing that it was almost dawn outside, Lin Yuxin urged Li Xiaochen to hurry up and leave.
"You should go first, lest you get discovered!"
Li Xiaochen pulled Lin Yuxin into his arms again, wishing he could carry her with him. After a while, he let go and whispered:
"I've left you someone, a spy I placed in the Zhao Kingdom's palace. You can ask him for help if you need anything!"
"Okay! I understand!"
Lin Yuxin nodded to indicate that she understood, then patted his shoulder again and gestured towards the window.
Li Xiaochen was helpless. He had just arrived and hadn't even had enough time to be intimate with his wife and children before he was being driven away.
"Be careful. If you encounter any danger, go into the space, okay?"
Li Xiaochen walked to the window and, still feeling uneasy, gave another instruction.
"Okay, I understand, don't worry!"
Lin Yuxin reached out and hugged him, trying to reassure him.
In the end, Li Xiaochen left, but not long after he left, Eunuch Luo sent someone over:
"Miss Lin, Eunuch Luo requests your presence!"
"I haven't had breakfast yet! You want me to go over there? Go get me something to eat."
Lin Yuxin went straight over and opened the door, saying in an annoyed tone.
Then she sat back down, as if she was hungry and wouldn't go unless she was given food.
The young eunuch had no choice but to prepare breakfast for her.
When Lin Yuxin arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation after she had eaten and drunk her fill, there was a row of women standing at the entrance, all dressed in flamboyant clothes.
Lin Yuxin couldn't help but ask Eunuch Luo, who was blocking the doorway:
"Oh! Eunuch Luo, what's wrong?"
"Oh dear! My Miss Lin, you've finally arrived! Please go in and see the Emperor. It's been ten hours already; this could lead to disaster!"
