At this time, the imperial physician came in with medicine to preserve the pregnancy. The room was instantly filled with a bitter and unpleasant smell of medicine. Xie Guanlan glanced at the pitch-black medicine and reached out to take it.
"Gu Lai Hey, go down."
The imperial physician lowered his head and rushed out in a flash.
The medicine was bitter and hard to swallow. After taking a few sips, Jiang frowned and said, "It's so hard to drink."
Xie Guanlan lowered his head and took a sip. The bitterness stimulated his taste buds, making his throat tighten. He couldn't help but look at Jiang's pale and weak little face. For a moment, indescribable self-blame and regret spread throughout his limbs.
When Jiang didn't hear the answer, he turned around and saw Xie Guanlan's silent and self-blaming expression. He paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "It's not that bad to drink, actually."
"Xie Guanlan, I'm sorry." Xie Guanlan knew that he had made a big mistake this time. Although it was unintentional, it almost made Xiao...
Xie Guanlan sighed deeply: "I am too irresponsible. I will pay more attention to the matter of 䭹㹏 in the future."
Ye Jiang touched Ye Tan's lower abdomen, feeling a little uncomfortable. Thinking of the little fox cub, she steeled her mind, gritted her teeth, and looked ready to die: "Isn't it just a decoction? I'll just drink it!"
So, Jiang drank the medicine with a bitter face.
Xie Guanlan took out the candied fruit that he had prepared long ago and stuffed it into her mouth.
The sweet candied fruit alleviated a lot of the bitterness. Yu Jiang licked his lips and blinked at Xie Guanlan.
"I won't hurt you again." Xie Guanlan said in a muffled voice. He covered her with the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed with his back straight. "You, go to sleep."
Xie Jiang nodded, stretched out a small hand and grabbed Xie Guanlan's fingers, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xie Guanlan stared at Yu Jiang blankly, his eyes slowly moving to her flat belly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. This was different from the feeling when he first met Yu Jiang.
Happy and afraid.
The good news is that this heir to the throne is Jiang Huai's, a child of her own blood.
What I’m afraid of is, if I have a child, will he still be the one I love the most?
When Xie Guanlan thought about having a little thing sticking to him every day, he felt a dull pain in his chest. It was as if a branding iron was stuffed into his heart, burning it so much that it made him tremble and his whole body began to feel uncomfortable.

"Guan Lan, oh Guan Lan, you are so foolish!" The Queen Mother was delighted when she learned that Xie Jiang was pregnant. However, when she saw Xie Guan Lan, the culprit who almost hurt her grandson, she was immediately furious and slapped him on the back: "How could you be so foolish?"
"You stay with the Queen every day, don't you know when her period comes?"
"How could you be so careless? Fortunately, the Empress and the Emperor's grandson are safe and sound this time. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
Before learning of Yu Jiang's pregnancy, the Queen Mother was still unhappy with Xie Guanlan's decision to make Yu Jiang her empress. After all, Yu Jiang was a remnant of a fallen nation, so giving her a concubine position was already unattainable. Yet, Xie Guanlan went ahead and made her empress?!
But now that she knew that Yu Jiang was pregnant, the Queen Mother suddenly felt that Yu Jiang was good in every way and should be the Queen!
Xie Guanlan took a sip from his teacup, lowered his brows and said slowly, "I was careless in this matter."
Seeing his regretful face, the Queen Mother stopped scolding him and just wiped the tears from her eyes: "I thought that because of that incident, you would never have a woman you like in this life."
"I didn't expect that now you not only have a queen, but also a child."
"The thorn in my heart has finally been pulled out."
When that incident was mentioned, Xie Guanlan's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his dark pupils were suddenly covered with a blood-red color full of violent aura.
