Mrs. Xia said this with great certainty. As a woman, she knew clearly what women were thinking. Perhaps it was because of Xia Qingran's threats that Cuizhu agreed to marry in his place. However, after she had been used to living a life of luxury, how could she be willing to go back to a hard life?
Besides, she is already pregnant, and she cannot give up the baby in her belly. If she can give birth to a boy, she will have a chance to sit in that position in the future. Who wouldn't take a chance?
After listening to his wife's explanation, Lieutenant General Xia gave up the idea of confronting General Meng. After all, he was far away from home and he couldn't control people who were far away in the palace.
Deputy General Xia ignored his concubine's daughter. He just listened to what General Meng said when he talked about the other party's situation, and didn't say much. This made General Meng feel a little guilty.
"Deputy General Xia, Ripple."
"General, I just need to know that she is fine. You don't need to tell me anything else. The less we say, the less likely it is to be exposed, and the safer the child will be."
Deputy General Xia was very good at adding drama to his own words, and his words were sincere and heartfelt, which made General Meng think highly of him. The other party had no intention of taking credit for it at all.
However, after hearing what General Meng said, Madam Meng snorted coldly:
"Nothing he says now will affect the development of the matter. When her daughter becomes successful in the future, will she really not recognize him as her biological father? I'm afraid that by then, she will look after her parents openly or secretly."
"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. We were forced by the situation at the time and had no choice but to resort to this last resort. In order to keep the Meng family safe, we must make some sacrifices."
General Meng is quite open-minded.
"I understand my husband's dilemma. I just hope that girl won't act like a demon and bring disaster to the Meng family."
Mrs. Meng concluded with a sigh.
Lianyi, who was far away in the imperial city, sneezed, which made Lanzhi, who was serving beside her, extremely nervous. She immediately trotted out to call for Doctor Liang, saying that nothing was more important than her master's health right now.
The main reason was that as the months went by, Lianyi's belly became bigger and bigger. She couldn't see her toes when she stood up, which was a bit scary. She had to have someone take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it was difficult for her to do it independently.
Her belly is now the center of everyone's attention, and there are too many people staring at it, so if she makes the slightest movement, the people serving her will become very nervous.
Lianyi rubbed her nose and felt that she was fine. She thought that someone was probably thinking about her. The only person she could think of was the Meng family far away at the border. She didn't know how the Meng family would react after Madam Cai took her words back.
Doctor Liang, who came in a hurry, carefully felt Lianyi's pulse and said that everything was normal, but because it was twins, there was a high possibility of premature birth. He asked everyone around to take care of her carefully and didn't say anything else.
Lianyi smiled lovingly and touched her belly and said:
"These two children are quite obedient and didn't cause me much trouble, except for the first four months when they were a bit troublesome. In the following four months, they were very quiet."
"It is also because the Crown Princess followed the doctor's advice and took good care of herself that the child is safe."
Doctor Liang said insincerely.
He prescribed the medicine himself to nourish the fetus. He knew very well that the reason why the Crown Princess looked so good and the child was well taken care of was just a one-sided effect produced at the expense of her own essence and blood and lifespan.
Once the time comes for her to give birth, that would be the time when she passes away, so now he really has to be there at any time, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, at least to make her feel comfortable before she passes away.
Although doctors are like caring parents, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. All he can do is to make the Crown Princess pass away comfortably and without suffering any pain.
Lian Yi looked at the people below who bowed and saluted, not even daring to look at her own doctor Liang. She just smiled and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Liang. After the baby is born, I will ask the Crown Prince to let you rest."
"I dare not take credit for it. This is my duty as a minister."
After Doctor Liang left, he let Lanzhi support her and walk slowly around the yard twice. Although her belly was very big, in order to have a smooth birth, she had to exercise more as she got closer to delivery. This principle is applicable both in ancient times and in modern times.
While Lianyi was walking in the yard, she was communicating with Duoduo:
"Master, several groups of people have shown their abilities and started to bribe the people around you. The midwives, maids, eunuchs who clean the house, and even the delivery room that was prepared for you have been tampered with."
Duoduo's voice sounded a little excited.
Lian Yi said helplessly:
"Duoduo, why do I feel like you're excited?"
"Hehe, isn't this fun to watch? I find it very interesting to watch these clowns perform."
"You should be more vigilant when the time comes. Don't let the child in my belly become a wandering soul again. It's not easy for me to earn merit."
Ripple said immediately.
"Master, rest assured. Duoduo will definitely protect you and the baby in your belly. However, if the whirlwind can come out, we can cooperate with each other by being still and moving at the same time."
Duoduo knew her weakness and spoke immediately.
After all, as a plant she couldn't run around. It wasn't that she couldn't run, but she was mainly afraid that people would mistake her for a monster after seeing her, especially if she appeared in the East Palace, which would be like giving someone with ulterior motives a handle, so she needed the support of Tornado.
"Don't worry, I'll release the whirlwind in two days."
Whirlwind is now infinitely close to the fifth level. If he experiences the divine thunder tribulation, he will be able to transform. However, the ripples in the previous cultivation plane completed the task too quickly and did not stay for long, so the accumulation of Whirlwind was not enough. Therefore, when he returned to the space, he stayed at the peak of the late fourth level.
Lianyi didn't want to force things, so she let Xuanfeng practice step by step. As a result, he hasn't transformed yet, but there is no problem for him to appear in the form of a cat.
After getting Lianyi's promise, Duoduo no longer disturbed her owner. Instead, she mobilized all the plants in the yard to keep a close eye on those who were causing trouble.
Three days later, Lianyi said she felt a little bored in the East Palace, so she took a group of people to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. Then, by coincidence, they saw a little black kitten on a rockery. No one knew how it climbed up there, but now it couldn’t get down by itself, so it just kept meowing there.
Lianyi naturally felt kind-hearted because she was pregnant and wanted to accumulate blessings for the baby in her belly. She also didn't want to watch a little life disappear before her eyes, so she asked the eunuch to rescue the cat, named it Tornado, and raised it in the East Palace to keep her company.
In the following days, Xuanfeng tried hard to perform and made everyone like him. He lived a very comfortable life. However, whenever someone with ill intentions approached Lianyi, Xuanfeng would make an attacking gesture, which made Lianyi praise Xuanfeng in front of the servants, which invisibly improved Xuanfeng's status.
When Lianyi was nine months pregnant, she felt that the baby was about to be born, so when the prince came to have dinner with her and she was full, she covered her belly and said that she was about to give birth.
"Quick, help the Crown Princess in! Ask Doctor Liang to come and wait!
Quanfu, go and tell your father and mother the news!"
The prince made arrangements in an orderly manner.
Lianyi held the prince's hand and said sadly:
"Your Highness, I am afraid."
