"No, I'm just a little tired." As Qiu Yan finished speaking, she suddenly touched her lower abdomen, her eyes widening.
Could it be...?
“Mother just woke up.” Gu Xiaoran added, “She’s probably not feeling well. Father, doctors can’t heal themselves, so let’s find a doctor for Mother.”
"No need." Qiu Yan smiled and shook her head. She knew her own body best.
"Could Yan Yan be pregnant?" Gu Qian confirmed his guess as soon as he finished speaking, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Recently, the young lady has been feeling tired and listless. He had thought about this before, but it hadn't been confirmed.
Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment.
She sensed something and nodded.
"I'm afraid it's true."
Although she originally intended to have children,
But now, because of Xiao Ran's matter, she's thinking of postponing it again.
However, now that the child has arrived, she must be extra careful.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qian quickly sat down beside Qiu Yan, gently and carefully placing his hand on her lower abdomen, a feeling of happiness welling up within him.
It feels so good.
He gently stroked Qiu Yan's lower abdomen with one hand, his heart seemingly filled with something.
"Yan Yan, just stay home and rest. Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of everything." Gu Qian saw Qiu Yan's worry at a glance and smiled reassuringly at her.
Thinking back to the night before, when they hadn't been able to consummate their relationship, he felt a sense of relief.
Gu Xiaoran grinned.
"That's wonderful! Mother is finally going to give birth to a little sister for Xiaoran."
Yesterday's events troubled him, but today's events warmed his heart.
Although having a younger sister was no longer of much significance, he still insisted that his mother give birth to a younger sister for him.
"I want to tell my aunt and uncle this good news." Gu Xiaoran excitedly ran out of the house, leaving the room to her parents.
"Just keep an eye on things." Qiu Yan felt that she wasn't that delicate.
She laughed, glanced at Gu Xiaoran's lively figure, and then asked about serious matters.
"What brings you to the palace this morning?"
“In recent years, barbarian tribes have frequently invaded.” Gu Qian’s words reminded Qiu Yan of Huyan Xun, a man she had forgotten.
Her body stiffened for a moment: "Northern Desert?"
Huyan Xun, that clown, doesn't just stay in his own little corner of the world and live a peaceful life; he dares to constantly provoke the vast Central Plains.
Isn't he afraid of dying a terrible death?
Qiu Yan had a strange feeling that this person wouldn't give up until he sought revenge on her.
Gu Qian: "Mm."
Gu Qian didn't take Hu Yanxun seriously at all.
They only dared to launch sneak attacks. Although they attacked repeatedly, they never dared to openly engage in a major battle with them at Dongjin.
Although Gu Qian hadn't been in Shangjin for years, he knew that after the victory, He Lin had stripped all military commanders of their power in the court.
They were only promoted and given land.
As for money, there wasn't a single penny.
But now, because of the barbarians, he has once again put military generals back into service.
"In the years I was away, the soldiers became lazy."
"Although these barbarian children are not worth mentioning, the soldiers must not lose their morale once foreign enemies invade."
"His Majesty has reinstated me as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and has instructed me to train them well."
Gu Qian had previously written a letter to retire from the military and return to his hometown because of his blindness, but today at the morning court, he was summoned back to his post.
Meanwhile, after Qiu Ling'er heard from Gu Xiaoran that her sister was pregnant, she excitedly ran towards the main courtyard of the mansion.
However, just as he reached the gate, he heard an affectionate call from outside the courtyard.
"Brother Qian..."
