Bei Mingchen loosened his grip on the teacup, stood up and said in a voice without any emotion: "Select ten top-notch masters to protect the princess."
"Yes..."
Returning to Chenxi Courtyard, Bei Mingchen asked Congxin to leave. He quietly walked into the inner room and looked at Foxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He felt very satisfied. I
am so lucky to have you.
Time flies. The weather has dropped rapidly in recent days, making people's moods become much colder.
Bei Mingchen put on thick clothes for Foxi and put on a heavy cloak.
Foxi complained a little, "It's so heavy, Bei Mingchen, I'm so tired."
Bei Mingchen tapped Foxi's forehead, put the hood of her cloak on her, took her hand and walked out of the room, saying in a doting tone: "What if you get cold if you don't wear something thicker?"
Foxi walked lazily beside Bei Mingchen, covering her mouth with one hand and yawned.
Bei Mingchen smiled, "You've rested for so many days, why are you still so sleepy?"
Foxi put down her hand, "I don't know, I feel more sleepy the more I rest, is it because the Qingling Pill has expired?"
What else could Bei Mingchen say, he could only smile helplessly, "You, let Aunt Yue check your pulse later." Foxi
put her empty hand around Bei Mingchen's arm and said coquettishly, "Do you really want to go with me? Learning medicine is very boring."
Bei Mingchen said with certainty, "The prince is getting married soon, so you have to be more careful in the next two days."
As soon as the two walked out of the Prince Chen's Mansion, they saw a very fast carriage flying up and stopped at the side of the Prince Chen's Mansion. The curtain was lifted, and a person got out of the carriage in a panic.
After seeing who it was, Foxi looked at Bei Mingchen subconsciously.
[The emperor is not going to summon you to the palace, is he? Bei Mingchen's eyes were cold, and
he held Foxi's hand tightly and walked towards the carriage.
The eunuch immediately ran forward, knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness Prince Chen, I have seen His Royal Highness Princess Chen, the Queen Mother is seriously ill, and the Emperor has summoned His Royal Highness Prince Chen to see him."
Bei Mingchen's body suddenly stuttered, and then he picked up Foxi and
walked into the carriage. Ling Xiao and Ling Feng immediately drove forward.
In the carriage, Foxi covered Bei Mingchen's hand, looking at the handsome face in front of her, which was now full of sorrow, and her heart was filled with all kinds of emotions.
"Bei Mingchen, we'll be at the palace soon, you..."
Bei Mingchen forced a smile and shook his head slightly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
The carriage was speeding along, and the bumps made Foxi feel a little nauseous and want to vomit, but she still resisted the feeling of nausea. After suppressing the discomfort in her stomach, she looked up at Bei Mingchen and saw that he was frowning, his eyes narrowed, holding her hand and stroking it gently.
Foxi knew what Bei Mingchen was worried about, and she also knew what he was afraid of.
She reached out to turn Bei Mingchen's face around, stared into his eyes and said softly: "I'm with you, I will accompany you for the rest of your life."
"Okay."
Bei Mingchen lowered his head and kissed Foxi's forehead, and then looked at Foxi with a gentle and affectionate look. Foxi
smiled sweetly in return.
The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the palace.
Bei Mingchen carried Foxi down from the carriage, then took Foxi's hand and walked forward.
Foxi saw that Bei Mingchen was obviously very anxious, but was afraid that she could not keep up, so he walked as usual.
After a knowing smile, she deliberately strode forward, and finally turned into a jog.
Bei Mingchen held Foxi, "Walk slowly, don't be anxious."
Foxi opened her mouth slightly and breathed lightly. She also felt that she was walking a little too fast, and her stomach began to hurt.
Seeing this, Bei Mingchen picked up Foxi and strode towards the Queen Mother's bedroom. After reaching the outside of the bedroom, he put Foxi down, calmed himself, took Foxi's hand and walked into the bedroom. The
Queen Mother's bedroom was already surrounded by people, the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, Prince Lin, Princess Lin, and a group of concubines and relatives.
Prince Lin and others saluted the two people one after another: "Your Highness Prince Chen, Princess Chen."
Foxi nodded slightly to everyone.
Bei Mingchen led Foxi and walked directly to the Queen Mother's bed, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to greet her: "Grandmother, your grandson is here."
Foxi also knelt down, "Grandmother..." The Queen Mother
was lying on the bed with her eyes closed at this moment. When she heard Bei Mingchen's greetings, she slowly opened her eyes. There was no color in her eyes as before, and her pale face really had a feeling of running out of oil and lamps.
"Hehe..." The Queen Mother raised her lips and chuckled, slowly raised her hand and touched Bei Mingchen's head, and said in a rough and weak voice: "Don't worry, Chen'er, the Royal Grandmother is fine."
Bei Mingchen's eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his head to move his head closer so that the Queen Mother's touch would not be so difficult. Foxi's
heart suddenly ached, and her nose also felt a little sour. She forced herself not to say anything. She still remembered Aunt Yue's words in her heart, and what was written in the book. The Queen Mother was afraid that she would not survive this year.
If the Queen Mother passed away, then Bei Mingchen...
Su Manyi saw this scene and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, with a look of heartache in her eyes.
Concubine Ning Jia only took a glance and then shifted her gaze, lowered her head and closed her eyes.
The concubines, led by Concubine Xian, all lowered their heads. Although it was unknown what they meant, they looked very sad. The Queen Mother
withdrew her hand, glanced at the two people kneeling in front of her, and was very relieved in her heart. She said very lovingly: "As long as you are happy, nothing else matters. Grandmother is very satisfied to live to this age."
If it were not for Chen'er, she would have gone with the late emperor long ago.
Foxi covered her eyes, a bright light flashed across her face, and then a happy expression appeared on her face. She crawled forward two steps on her kneeling legs.
Bei Mingchen immediately supported Foxi's body and subconsciously put his hand on Foxi's knees.
Foxi stepped forward and held the Queen Mother's hand, looked into her eyes, sniffed and said: "Grandmother, you must be well. Because, because the grandson's wife is pregnant, Grandmother, Bei Mingchen and I have a child."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned. The bedroom was silent for a while, but everyone looked at Foxi's belly.
Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand tightly. He knew that Foxi wanted to use this child to hold the Grandmother, and then responded: "Grandmother, Xier is telling the truth." The Queen Mother
was overjoyed, especially when she heard Bei Mingchen's assurance, hope was rekindled in her eyes.
Concubine Ning Jia subconsciously glanced at the emperor, and seeing that he was already excited, her heart sank.
The emperor thought secretly that Foxi was actually pregnant. In this way, he could get rid of Bei Mingchen without any worries.
Bei Minghuai knelt on the ground and covered his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the corners of his lips are slightly rippled, and his gentle image is even softer at this moment.
The queen's thoughts are different from those of others. She was born in a high-class family, so she knew the rumor that the royal wife of Anjun Kingdom would give birth to twins, but her two consecutive pregnancies were both daughters.
If Foxi gave birth to twins, who knows who would take over the Anjun Kingdom. Thinking of this, her eyes became fierce.
The emperor knew about this rumor, and some of the concubines present also knew about it, and they all had their own thoughts.
Su Manyi's eyes showed true feelings. She was really happy for Foxi. If Foxi gave birth to twins, it would be best if they overthrew the Anjun Kingdom. Such a fierce person was not worthy of sitting in that position.
Bei Minglin thought Su Manyi was jealous, so he leaned closer to Su Manyi and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Manyi, when you calm down, go back to Prince Lin's Mansion. You are a married daughter, and it is not good to live in the general's mansion. We should have a child."
Su Manyi looked disgusted when she heard Bei Minglin's words. Bei Minglin had not stayed in her room since he met Qu Xinlin. She always thought that this man was just a little afraid and lustful.
But Qu Xinlin's incident changed her view. This man was not only not very wise, but also as cruel as his father. He could calculate his own offspring for his own benefit.
She should think about her future. She doesn't ask to meet someone like His Royal Highness Prince Chen like Foxi, but she asks to meet someone with a pure mind.
Bei Minglin saw that Su Manyi not only ignored him but also moved her body away. After being suspicious, he showed disdain and snorted silently. He didn't believe that Su Manyi would live in the general's mansion for the rest of her life. He was waiting for Su Manyi to be brought to him by her father to beg him.
The Queen Mother held Foxi's hand and her eyes swept across Foxi's belly, "Xier, am I really going to be a great-grandmother? "
Foxi pursed her lips, slightly closed her eyes and nodded.
[Go back and grab one, it should still be in time.]
Bei Mingchen raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth, temporarily hugging Buddha's feet? The
Queen Mother's mouth corners never lowered, her eyes and heart were full of relief, "Hurry, get up, you don't have to bow in the future. "
Foxi felt a little frightened being stared at by so many people. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that several people were staring at her belly.
[Bei Mingchen, why do I feel that someone has bad intentions?]
Bei Mingchen glanced at everyone present with a cold eye, then gently helped Foxi up, and walked to the soft couch on the side and sat down with her. Foxi
held back her laughter, because she noticed that most of the people in the bedroom were respectful to her.
[It turns out that being pregnant is so good. I really regret not having one earlier.]
Bei Mingchen sat beside Foxi, holding her hand tightly. It was not too late now.
The imperial physician walked into the hall, bowed, and stepped forward to feel the empress dowager's pulse. Then he knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I hope the empress dowager can control her emotions and not let them fluctuate too much. " The Queen Mother
was very happy at this moment. She waved her hand and looked at Foxi, "I'm fine. Princess Chen has just been kneeling for a long time. Go and see if her stomach is okay."
Foxi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Bei Mingchen.
[You arranged this imperial physician. He is very professional.]
Bei Mingchen looked at Foxi and narrowed his eyes to indicate that he was unaware.
Foxi took a breath and blinked twice.
[No way, is this going to be exposed?]
[Bei Mingchen, think of a way quickly. For the sake of the Royal Grandmother, this matter cannot be exposed.]
Bei Mingchen held Foxi's hand tightly and nodded slightly, indicating that she should not worry.
