Su Xuening gave a stiff smile: "No, didn't I tell you before? The Emperor's health is most prone to problems at his age, that's why I told you to be careful!"
Xuan Yuanzhan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking that she had discovered something wrong with Xuan Yuanpeng's health.
"Don't worry, I've already told Hang Yuqing to pay extra attention to Xuan Yuanpeng's health. Hang Yuqing is Xuan Yuanpeng's confidant, he'll take care of it." She had told him this several times already, and knowing that she really cared about Xuan Yuanpeng's health, Xuan Yuanzhan reassured him.
For some reason, Su Xuening felt very uneasy.
Perhaps because she knew about her past life, she knew that Xuanyuan Peng's health would definitely suffer a major problem in the next three months.
However, because of her rebirth, many things in her past life changed. For example, she was not imprisoned in the cold palace, she found her mother, she married Xuan Yuanzhan, and her child was no longer an illegitimate child.
Many things are different from the previous life. Perhaps Xuanyuan Peng will not get sick in this life. Maybe she is just overthinking things.
Speaking of Xuanyuan Peng, Xuanyuan Zhan thought of the trip to the North: "By the way, there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Su Xuening asked curiously.
Xuan Yuanzhan pulled Su Xuening over to sit down: "Well, the northern part of Dongchu has been suffering from drought for many years, and this year it is particularly severe, resulting in a great famine. The people have no food to eat, and many have turned to banditry, causing another bandit problem."
Su Xuening was very clever. Upon hearing Xuan Yuanzhan's words, she immediately understood his meaning: "The Emperor wants to send you to the North to provide disaster relief and suppress bandits?"
Seeing how intelligent she was, Xuan Yuanzhan affectionately touched her little face: "Yes, both Xuan Yuanyu and Xuan Yuanzhi are eager to go to the North, but Xuan Yuanpeng wants me to go."
Although Su Xuening didn't know much about the politics of Dongchu, the job that both Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Zhi were vying for was naturally a good one.
Given the current situation in the North, it's likely that going there to help with disaster relief and bandit suppression would win over the people's hearts. That's why they're all vying to go. However, Xuanyuan Peng favors Xuanyuan Zhan, so he wants to give the credit to Xuanyuan Zhan.
It's even possible that Xuanyuan Peng needs Xuanyuan Zhan's achievements to make him the crown prince.
"You want to go to the North?"
Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan, trying to guess his thoughts.
He probably wanted to go, otherwise he would have directly refused Xuan Yuanpeng instead of coming back to discuss it with her.
Xuanyuan Zhan took her hand and stroked her palm: "If you don't want me to go, I won't go."
Su Xuening understood his conflicted thoughts; he was probably worried about her childbirth.
Su Xuening cupped Xuan Yuanzhan's handsome face in her hands and looked at him earnestly: "Do whatever you want to do. You don't need to worry about me. My mother will take care of me in the manor. I'll be fine."
The more understanding Su Xuening was, the more Xuan Yuanzhan felt sorry for her.
"Ning'er." Xuan Yuanzhan lovingly embraced her.
"How long are you going to be gone this time?" Su Xuening asked in a muffled voice.
Xuanyuan Zhan gently stroked her hair: "I don't know the specific situation in the North yet, but I will handle it as soon as possible and get back as soon as possible."
She's still heavily pregnant at the Prince's residence; he won't waste time outside.
Su Xuening thought of the situation she experienced during childbirth in her previous life.
In her past life, she was imprisoned in the cold palace. When she gave birth, she was all alone, facing not only the birth of her child but also the wicked intentions of Su Feiling and Xuan Yuan Yu.
In her past life, the child she finally gave birth to was snatched away by Su Feiling as soon as he was born. Heaven knows how desperate and helpless she was at that time.
"Xuanyuan Zhan, can you come back to be with me when I give birth?" Su Xuening nestled in Xuanyuan Zhan's arms and said in a muffled voice.
She was scared!
Her past life terrified her!
Although her mother is with her in the manor in this life, and her master, uncle, and Yun'an will all come, she is still afraid. She dares not gamble with their child for any possibility.
She hoped he would be by her side when she gave birth, and even if he did nothing, she would feel at ease.
Xuan Yuanzhan naturally couldn't bear to see her give birth alone, so he gently stroked the top of her head and said, "I will definitely rush back to be with you during your delivery."
Su Xuening hugged Xuan Yuanzhan.
That's enough!
midnight.
Su Xuening, who was fast asleep, had a dream.
In her dream, she was dressed in a light red dress, with long hair flowing down her back, walking in the snow. Snowflakes fell on her hair, turning her once black hair silver.
She walked and walked, not knowing how long she had walked, but it seemed like she could never reach the end. It was as if she was trapped in that world, unable to get out no matter what she did.
When she looked up again, she noticed a wall in the boundless snowfield. The wall looked so familiar. When she looked back, she found that there were walls on all four sides.
It was such a familiar place, so familiar that it frightened her!
Why did she come back here?
Before Su Xuening could figure out why she was in the Cold Palace again, she heard the sound of a baby crying.
"Child!" Without thinking, Su Xuening ran wildly toward the sound of crying.
Finally, she stopped where the crying was coming from, but there was only pure white snow there.
Su Xuening knelt in the snow and desperately dug away the white snow.
She dug and dug until her fingers were frozen, and finally she dug out the swaddling clothes.
The baby's cries were so intense that Su Xuening's heart ached. She hurriedly took the swaddled baby out of the snow pit, but the weight of the swaddled baby was clearly wrong.
She hurriedly opened the swaddling clothes, but found no child at all; there was only a clump of straw inside.
"Child!" Su Xuening shouted anxiously, finally startling Bihe and Lülian, who were serving outside the door, into pushing the door open and entering the room.
"Your Highness." Bihe walked to the bedside and called out softly to Su Xuening.
"My child!" Su Xuening finally regained consciousness, opened her eyes abruptly, and saw Bihe. She grabbed Bihe tightly, her voice trembling with tears, "Bihe, my child..."
This was the first time Bihe had ever seen her young mistress so vulnerable and helpless. She quickly hugged her and comforted her, saying, "Miss, you had a nightmare. The young master is in your belly. He's fine. Nothing's wrong with him."
Su Xuening then realized what was happening and quickly looked at her protruding belly.
The baby is still in her belly; her child has not yet been born!
Everything that just happened was a dream!
Su Xuening collapsed weakly onto the bed, looking at the familiar canopy ceiling, and gradually relaxed.
She dreamed about her past life again.
Tragically, even when she dreamed of the child, she still couldn't see the child's face.
In fact, she didn't even see what the child looked like before Su Feiling snatched the child away.
Su Xuening subconsciously touched her bulging belly, feeling the baby's heartbeat, and finally felt at ease.
The child is still alive, and in this life she will protect the child no matter what, and will never let the same thing happen again!
