"Okay." You smiled and actually nodded in agreement, which made me so happy that I was at a loss for words.
"You agreed?" I asked cautiously, suppressing my surging excitement.
"Hmm." You nodded slightly, a smile of ambiguity playing on her lips.
At that moment, I was too busy having fun to notice the meaningful smile on Liu Lieyu's lips. If I had known, I would never have agreed so easily.
As expected, You kept his promise and immediately canceled the barrier when he said he would take me to the battlefield.
I dashed off into the outside world; I was so bored in this little room.
"Xin'er, why are you out here?" Jiao'er, who was coming towards me, was extremely surprised to see me come out of the room.
After Jiao'er's gaze shifted to the house behind me, she quietly stepped forward and whispered in my ear, "Could it be that Lord Riyue has finally let you out?"
"Yes." I smiled brightly; it was so lucky to be able to see the sky outside.
"That's true. With the Sun and Moon Lord watching over you, who can do anything to you?"
"No, no." I waved my hand and asked Jiao'er mysteriously, "Do you know what You promised me?"
"What did I promise you?" Jiao'er's eyes darted around as she smiled, as if she had just thought of something. "Is it that I'll allow you to move freely within the palace?"
"No, no." I shook my head.
"What is that?"
I gave Jiao'er a mysterious smile, then said loudly, "You promised me he'd let me go to the battlefield."
Jiao'er was completely dumbfounded. "How could this be? You must have misheard me."
“You heard me right, that’s how it is.” I shook my head smugly. “What did I tell you? As long as you think of a way, there will always be an opportunity.”
"But, but this..." Jiao'er was almost incoherent, "Sending you to the battlefield is too risky, isn't it? You're pregnant."
"It's been three months already, and I will use my magic to protect my baby." I stroked my slightly protruding belly and smiled at my baby, "Don't worry, I won't force myself."
"But..." Jiao'er still spoke with some concern, advising me, "Xin'er, shouldn't you reconsider? The battlefield is a dangerous place."
"I've thought it through very clearly."
Seeing that I had made up my mind, Jiao'er didn't try to persuade me anymore, but just looked at me with her worried eyes.
"Don't worry, ordinary small fry can't hurt me at all. If I'm unlucky enough to run into Liu Lieyu, I'll definitely run faster than anyone else."
Jiao'er simply sighed, "How could the Sun and Moon Lord agree to such an unreasonable request?"
"I'll come back and play with you again." I went up and hugged Jiao'er.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Jiao'er nodded slightly, her smile tinged with helplessness. "Please be careful."
"good."
I wandered around outside for a while, then went back to my room to find You.
"You, when are we going to the battlefield?"
"So rushed?" You lay leisurely on the bed, completely unperturbed.
"Won't you be alright since you haven't been on the front lines?" I looked at You with suspicion, after all, You had been here for far too long this time. Usually, she would just glance at me briefly before leaving again.
"No rush." You slowly shook her head, then looked up at me again, her bright eyes blinking and becoming even more lively. "Can't I rest for a bit?"
I. . .
"able."
You smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, closed her eyes, stretched out her long arm, and pulled me into her embrace. "Sleep with me for a while."
It was rare for You to become as gentle as a young animal. I looked up at You's eyebrows and eyes, and You closed her eyes and quietly fell asleep.
My heart softened instantly; this war must have been exhausting for You.
I gently carried You in my arms, nestled quietly in her embrace, and let her sleep peacefully for a while.
You slept for quite a long time. I had plenty of time to sleep in the palace, so I wasn't sleepy at all and stared at You's handsome face the whole time.
"Why are you staring at me?" You's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and her slightly hoarse voice came from above me.
I hugged You tightly, beaming with joy, "Because I can never get enough of looking at you."
"You've learned some glib talk again." You was now fully awake and sat up, supporting herself with one hand.
"I'm telling the truth."
She smiled faintly and remained silent.
I really wanted to ask You when she would leave for the battlefield, but I was afraid that she hadn't rested enough.
You's eyes scrutinized me closely, while she kneaded my chest with one hand.
"You," I called softly, both shy and timid.
You laughed and let me go, kissing me on the cheek and whispering in my ear, "You've lost weight."
I glared at You, annoyed. "Nonsense!"
I've been staying in my room every day for the past four months, drinking all sorts of nourishing soups. Besides, pregnancy only makes breasts bigger, how could they possibly shrink?
Because I was pregnant, we didn't go through too much trouble.
"Should we go to the battlefield?" I nestled in You's arms, my fingers unconsciously drawing circles.
"Mm." You nodded slightly and added, "I also want to cook you a meal."
Huh? Is You really that free today? I suspect you're deliberately stalling for time.
"You, are you regretting it?"
"Um?"
"Otherwise, they would never have taken me with them."
You chuckled, "I will naturally keep my promise to you. The battlefield is very dangerous, so you won't regret it later."
"I won't regret it!"
"Okay." You nodded slightly with a smile, but still showed no intention of getting up.
Why can't you pay back your money?
"Get up!" You said, then leaned in and kissed me hard for a while before letting go.
You neatly put on her clothes and got out of bed. When I tried to get out of bed with You, she grabbed me and pressed me down.
"Huh?" I looked at You, my big eyes filled with a little doubt.
Is Yu really going to stand me up?
"You wait here, I'll go cook for you. There's no rush to go after you've eaten."
Well, what can I say? I can only wait patiently.
"You didn't drink your soup today either, did you?"
I shook my head.
Has Dr. Zou come to see me?
I shook my head.
"Wait here for a bit, I'll have them come and make you something to eat, then we'll set off."
"good."
You strode quickly out of the room, and after she left, Doctor Zou and Yunling entered one after the other.
After everything was checked and found to be fine, I felt relieved.
After examining me, Dr. Zou took his leave.
"Dr. Zou, wait a moment."
"Madam Jun, what are your orders?" Doctor Zou stopped in his tracks.
"I'm going to the battlefield. I wonder if Doctor Zou could come with me? That would put my mind at ease."
Although I presented Jiao'er and You with an air of confidence that the fetus was fine, I was still somewhat anxious and wanted to have an extra layer of assurance.
"Even if Lady Jun didn't mention it, His Majesty has already told me about it."
"Okay." I nodded.
At that moment, I only felt that You Xixin hadn't thought much about it.
