Chapter 316 Do You Have a Way?
But as soon as his fingers touched Shen Anan’s wrist, he immediately took them back, his face very calm.
"How?" Xiao Yuan asked immediately. He held Shen Anan's hand tightly, and his nervous tone trembled a little.
"Amitabha," Wen Yin put her hands together, "Congratulations to the two donors for fulfilling their long-cherished wishes. Is Donor Shen pregnant?"
"What?" Xiao Yuan was stunned, as if he didn't hear it clearly. "Say it again."
"Old Na said that Donor Shen fainted because she was pregnant and she was so anxious. Old Na will prescribe some good medicine for her to take. She should stay in bed and rest, and she will be fine."
Xiao Yuan's tightly pursed thin lips trembled slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the sleeping Shen Anan, and the ecstasy in his eyes poured out.
But in just a moment, he immediately regained his composure, "So what you meant when you said a few days ago that her body couldn't stand the torture."
Wen Yin did not answer, but just chanted a Buddhist name.
Xiao Yuan's whole body was tense, and he asked with great difficulty, "If...if you don't want this child, can you find a way to make her return to normal?"
Wen Yin's face twitched, as if she was shocked by Xiao Yuan's idea.
"That's Donor Xiao's own flesh and blood. Old Na took Donor Shen's pulse and found it was a little weak. I think she drank a lot of medicine to have this child. Donor Shen will never agree to it."
Xiao Yuan put Shen Anan's hand under the quilt, stood up and looked at Wen Yin calmly, "So, you have a way."
Wen Yin immediately shook her head, "I didn't."
Even if there was, he would not waste his life in vain and do such an evil and unethical act.
"You have."
"..." Wen Yin's face turned red. If he wasn't bald, he would have been forced to pull out a few strands of hair.
It turns out that all he said was spoken to a deaf person. How could there be such a stubborn couple in this world! !
"Lao Na really didn't!"
"Donor Xiao, that's the child Donor Shen has been waiting for day and night. Aren't you afraid that Donor Shen will blame you for thinking this way?"
Xiao Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Of course he was happy and loved their child, but compared to his arrival, he wanted An An to be free from the pain and torture of losing her memory. If he had to give up the chance for An An to recover and cause her to be haunted by her memory for the rest of her life, then he would rather not have this child.
No one knows how she spent those countless days and nights in panic and fear.
Wen Yin was afraid that he would do something crazy again, so she immediately said, "I agree with Mr. Xiao's suggestion a few days ago, but I have a request."
Silence, dead silence.
Wen Yin raised her eyes to glance at Xiao Yuan, knowing that it was impossible to wait for him to ask her, so she could only take the initiative to state her request, "When everything is settled, please let Lao Na leave, Mr. Xiao."
Just by doing this, we have obviously lost the initiative and the capital for negotiating terms.
Xiao Yuan looked at him and still said nothing.
"At most... when Donor Shen gives birth, Old Na will come back."
Xiao Yuan still didn't speak. Wen Yin's heart was in turmoil. He could get a glimpse into the secrets of heaven, but he couldn't predict the fickle human heart, especially someone like Xiao Yuan, who could go crazy at any time.
"Old Na..."
"Boy or girl?"
"What?" Wen Yin was confused, and then Xiao Yuan continued to ask, "I said, is the baby in my wife's belly a boy or a girl?"
"...The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
"So you know?"
Wen Yin choked up. He had told so many lies, and this one wouldn't be a big deal. He should have just said he didn't know.
But then he thought again, monks do not tell lies, he has already told enough lies and he cannot break the precepts again.
"Both boys and girls are the children of the two donors. What's the difference?"
"So is it a boy or a girl?" Xiao Yuan was very persistent.
He didn't care about whether it was a man or a woman, but he was curious, like a cat scratching its head. Besides, with Wen Yin, a know-it-all, around, it would be a waste not to ask.
Wen Yin choked up, thinking that Xiao Yuan and Shen Anan would not be the kind of people who have gender prejudices, so she said truthfully, "Yes..."
"A girl, huh?" Xiao Yuan asked suddenly, causing Wen Yin to fall into silence for a long time.
He had never seen Xiao Yuan like this before. There was a light in his eyes, very bright, and there was no trace of his calm and sharp look at all.
Wen Yin was afraid that he would say, "If not, then you have to find a way to turn me into a girl." Then, he nodded subconsciously.
Xiao Yuan's face was visibly happy. He turned around and looked at the girl on the bed, "She will definitely be like her mother."
"That old Na..."
"Let Qing'an take you to the palace."
"Okay." Wen Yin turned and left, as if entering the palace was a great thing. In the past, he would definitely be the most reluctant, especially at this critical juncture.
But that's because there is no comparison. Compared with the Fourth Prince's Palace, the Imperial Palace is actually not that scary.
…
Shen Anan fell into a dream and could not extricate herself from it.
In the dream, she seemed to have experienced everything from beginning to end, from the previous life to this life, the two met, resented each other, and became connected.
She saw that she had lost her memory, and Xiao Yuan was crying alone with her on his back, sad and in pain. She wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't touch him. The pain was a hundred times more painful than in reality, and her feelings for Xiao Yuan were also growing at double the speed.
Her heart felt empty and painful as if it was being dug out by someone. It was a pain she had never felt before.
"An'an, An'an."
Qingyue's anxious voice rang in her ears, and Shen Anan was suddenly pulled back to reality and slowly opened her eyes.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Shen Anan remained silent, looking at Xiao Yuan quietly, and suddenly said after a long while, "Xiao Yuan, I seem to love you more in my dream."
Xiao Yuan was slightly startled, then smiled and stroked her head gently, "Don't you love me when you're not dreaming?"
Shen Anan smiled softly, but her smile was a little weak.
She wanted to sit up, and Xiao Yuan quickly supported her and carefully placed a soft pillow behind her.
As soon as Shen Anan stretched out her hand, he immediately picked up the teacup on the small table, tested the water temperature himself, and felt it was a little cold, so he went to get another cup.
Shen Anan drank from his hand, and Qingling looked at him without blinking.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Anan pursed her lips, "Am I going to die?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about." Xiao Yuan tapped her forehead lightly, but his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Shen Anan also knew that what she said was a bit too much and touched his reverse scale, so she immediately laughed and said, "You treated me like this, I thought I didn't have much time left."
She suddenly fainted, and when she woke up and faced the cautious Xiao Yuan, how could she not think too much?
Xiao Yuan placed the teacup on the small table.
"Wen Yin said that your fetal qi is unstable. You need to take good care of yourself and not move around."
"Oh." Shen Anan responded subconsciously and leaned on the soft pillow. After a moment, she was stunned again, and suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Yuan, "What did you say just now?"
Xiao Yuan repeated it again.
Shen Anan still didn't move, just blinked and looked at him, a layer of mist quickly accumulated in her eyes, and her palm covered her lower abdomen very lightly.
"ah--"
She screamed and pounced towards Xiao Yuan, her body jumping on the bed, scaring Xiao Yuan so much that his face turned slightly pale.
"Don't move, don't move."
Shen Anan froze, and immediately let go and sat down, “I…I forgot.”
She was a little embarrassed, but her face was full of satisfaction. "We finally got him here."
"It's a girl."
Shen Anan was stunned, "How do you know?"
"I heard that."
Shen Anan didn't say anything, his smile was a little stagnant, looking at him, Xiao Yuan touched his nose, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"You still favor boys over girls?"
"No." Xiao Yuan denied it immediately.
"Then why are you asking Wen Yin?"
"Curious, don't you want to know?"
Shen Anan's frown relaxed slightly. Of course she wanted to know, "But there's no reason for you to be so anxious. What if she thinks you don't like her?"
"Of course I am happy. As long as it's your child or mine, I am happy. Especially a baby girl like you, I like her even more."
Isn't that still prejudice, but against boys?
Shen Anan pushed away his hand that was trying to touch her belly and glared at him.
Xiao Yuan said, "I'll look through some books in the next few days and give her a name."
"It's too early now. The important things are the most important. The rest can wait a few months."
What Shen Anan is most worried about now is the political situation. Thinking of the scene she saw in the study just now, her heart ached.
"Xiao Yuan."
"Um?"
She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"How could that be." He stroked her hair that was spread out behind her, which was as soft as silk. "As long as you stay with me, it will be my greatest comfort and motivation."
"It's just..." He paused and continued, "I'm afraid you won't be able to accompany me these days."
Shen Anan raised her head from his chest, "What does this mean?"
Xiao Yuan stared at her and smiled lightly, "Wen Yin said that your fetal qi is unstable, and you drank too much medicine before, which caused the fetus to have excessive internal heat. You need to rest in a place with humid air and water for two months."
"I thought that Langyue Lake would be the most suitable place, so I asked someone to prepare it. For the sake of the child's safety, I can only inconvenience Madam for the time being."
"How could this happen?" When the imperial physician was prescribing the prescription, she asked again and again. Even if she got pregnant, it would not have any effect on the child. How could this happen?
Seeing her face darken and her eyes move slightly, Xiao Yuan hugged her in his arms distressedly, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem, you will be fine after living there for a few days."
"What about you?"
After asking this, Shen Anan frowned. She was really stupid. How could he leave given the current situation in the capital? He must stay in the mansion to take charge.
"When I finish my government affairs, I will hand it over to Li Huaiyan and go to Langyue Lake to accompany you."
Shen Anan frowned and looked at Xiao Yuan's eyebrows quietly.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Xiao Yuan, we are husband and wife, are you sure you are not hiding anything from me?"
Xiao Yuan chuckled, "Of course, I've said it before, you are my wife, if you really have to die, I will take you with me, I won't let others get away with it, especially that dead scholar."
“…”
I haven't mentioned it yet, why did I think of it again?
"Okay," Shen Anan hugged his waist tightly, "I'll listen to you."
Xiao Yuan hugged her tightly, and the cold and hard outline reflected by the candlelight was dim and unclear.
"Just in case, I have already arranged some personnel at Langyue Lake. You can transfer them at will."
He had already prepared a way out for her in the beginning. When he was angry, he said that he wanted her to live and die with him, which was true. And now, he really wanted her to live a peaceful life.
Shen Anan didn't ask any more questions, but just responded with a low "Okay."
"Xiao Yuan, I'll wait for you to pick me up."
"good."
The shadows of the two people embracing each other were reflected on the window frame, and were stretched and twisted as the candlelight jumped, but they were always tightly stuck together.
…
"Master." Qing'an's voice suddenly came from outside, and Xiao Yuan let go of Shen An'an and went out.
"Letter." Qing'an handed a letter to Xiao Yuan.
He looked back at the house, walked a few steps outside, and opened the door when he reached the yard.
After a quick glance, his face darkened slightly. "Let the butler prepare the carriage, and let Qingfeng select half of the secret guards with strong martial arts to escort the princess away immediately."
Qing'an glanced at the letter in Xiao Yuan's hand, his face immediately became serious, and he took the order and went down.
Xiao Yuan stood in the yard for a while before returning to his room.
"What's wrong? But what happened?" Shen Anan asked.
Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, "It's nothing serious. Some ministers have had some trouble. I have to go to the palace. I don't have time to take you there. I asked the butler to prepare a carriage and Qingfeng will escort you."
"Leaving now?" Shen Anan was a little surprised, "Are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Yuan walked over and hugged her in his arms, "Wen Yin said that the first three months are a critical period, and you must take good care of yourself. Madam, please bear with it."
Shen Anan lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes, and responded softly, "I'll listen to you."
"Yeah." Xiao Yuan held her in his arms and didn't let go for a long time. Shen Anan closed her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be crystal drops of water dripping quickly from the corners of her eyes.
She didn't show any emotion on her face. When Xiao Yuan lowered his head to look at her, she still smiled and said, "I will definitely protect our child."
"Yeah." He caressed her face reluctantly, bent down and gave her a gentle kiss, "Be good, wait for me to pick you up."
"Um."
A quarter of an hour later, Qing'an came to report that everything was ready, and Mo Xiang packed his bags as quickly as possible.
Xiao Yuan personally helped her change her clothes and makeup, put on her shoes, and sent her to the carriage at the gate of the mansion.
"Xiao Yuan." Shen Anan leaned against the car window and looked at him steadily, "I'm waiting for you to pick me up, you better be quick."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan always had a faint smile on his face. He gave Qingfeng a few instructions and let the carriage leave.
He stood at the gate of the mansion, looking at the girl who stuck her head out of the carriage and waving at him continuously. A layer of moisture slowly accumulated in his curved black eyes, and then gradually blurred until he could not see anything clearly, until the carriage disappeared from his sight.
Everyone was puzzled by the sudden departure of the prince's wife. No one knew what kind of torture and struggle he had gone through during the more than an hour when Wen Yin left and Shen An'an was in a coma.
"Master." Qing'an spoke cautiously.
Xiao Yuan lowered his eyes, and when he withdrew his gaze, only a cold expression remained on his face.
"Duke Li is here and is waiting in the study."
He glanced once again at the end of the carriage where it disappeared, then turned around and went back to the mansion.
