After dinner, Shen Ze'an was about to take Rong Xi out for a walk.
But after Rong Xi finished eating, he just wanted to lie down and didn't want to move at all.
"Let's go tomorrow. I'm so tired today."
"Xi'er, you can't do this. I asked the doctor, and he said you need to move around until the end of your pregnancy for a smooth birth."
Rong Xi held down Shen Ze'an's hand and made a final struggle, "Hasn't it been done today? Let's just forget about it today."
"Nowhere have you moved? You haven't left this room since I came."
Rong Xi was unwilling, "Just now on the bed... wuwu..." Her words were covered by Shen Ze'an's hands in time, and the servants were still there.
Rong Xi was finally brought out by Shen Ze'an. The two walked hand in hand on the farm, and the setting sun stretched their figures very long.
The wind blew gently, lifting Rong Xi's hair. Shen Ze'an looked at Rong Xi and felt that life was like this. When their child was born, his life would be complete.
"Xi'er, I'm going back to the capital tonight. You have to take good care of yourself. I'll come here to see you as soon as I'm free. I'll be here within ten days at the latest."
He heard that when a woman is pregnant, she needs her husband to be by her side the most. He wanted to be with her all the time, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to leave.
I can only try to make time to come here.
"Ten days!?"
Why are you coming in ten days? Isn’t it said that there are a lot of things going on in the capital and many things need to be dealt with? What are you coming for?
Seeing that the expression on her face was not very happy, Shen Zean felt a little guilty. If she had not married him, she would not have to suffer like this.
"Xi'er, I promise to come see you as soon as I have time. I will never break my promise."
Rong Xi wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. Shen Zean would definitely be angry if she said that.
"Things in the capital are more important. You should deal with them first. You don't have to worry about me. Baohuan and the others are with us. Nothing will happen."
Shen Ze'an was more and more moved. Rong Xi was really sensible.
"Okay, even though I'm not here, you still have to go out for a walk every day. You can't stay in the house all the time. You'll get suffocated."
Rong Xi nodded obediently, and Shen Ze'an continued to explain, afraid that he had forgotten to say something.
"It's fine if you don't go out, but if you do go out, you must bring someone with you. The weather has become much cooler these days, so you must bring a cloak. If you feel cold, ask Baohuan to bring more clothes."
Rong Xi still nodded obediently. After he left, it was her own business whether she wanted to go out or not. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Shen Ze talked incessantly all the way, and Rong Xi was already sleepy from what he said. Now she just wanted to go back to the house and sleep.
"But are you tired from walking?"
Rong Xi nodded. How could she not be tired with such a big belly in front?
Shen Ze'an squatted down and gently picked up Rong Xi. He was surrounded by his own people and was not afraid of what others would say.
So Rong Xi nestled in Shen Ze'an's arms with peace of mind.
This atmosphere lasted until the moment before Shen Ze'an left, and Rong Xi suddenly didn't want anyone to leave.
Although he was a bit nagging, after all they had lived together for such a long time and he took care of her in every possible way. Rong Xi suddenly became emotional and felt a little sad.
She pulled Shen Ze'an's sleeve from behind. Shen Ze'an had already packed up and was ready to leave at any time. Seeing Rong Xi like this, he was also very reluctant to leave.
"Okay, I'll come see you in a few days. Remember what I told you."
It was already dark, and Rong Xi couldn't help but let people go.
"Then be careful on the road."
"Okay, don't send me off. Go inside quickly because it's windy."
Shen Ze'an finally left. He had to deal with the affairs in the capital, so he could only leave Rong Xi here for the time being.
.
Capital city!
It was already late at night when Chen Ze'an arrived, and he had to ride as fast as he could to barely catch up with the morning court.
The fifth princess was taken away by the emperor, but she was not handed over to the Kingdom of Qing immediately. Instead, she was hidden in a place.
Now the 'Fourth Prince' of Qing has run out of patience and has come to the court again, with the sole intention of taking the Fifth Princess away.
The emperor and all the ministers knew very well that the fourth prince did not really want to bring the fifth princess back to Qing Kingdom. He knew how important the fifth princess was to the empress dowager and the emperor. If he wanted to keep the fifth princess in Xiali Kingdom, he naturally could not return empty-handed.
This requires the emperor to show sincerity before he will let the fifth princess go.
After all, the Fifth Princess was a disgrace to him. She had an affair with another man before she even got married and gave birth to an illegitimate child. No matter how stupid he was, he would not keep this woman.
"Fourth Prince, Yu'er is unwell and is still recovering. It will take some time for her to recover. Instead of staying in Qing Kingdom for a long time, why not stay in Xiali Kingdom for a while and see the scenery of our Xiali Kingdom?"
The Fourth Prince suppressed his anger and sneered, "I think it's better to forget it. I had such an accident the last time I came here. I almost lost my life here. If I wander around again this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Xiali Country alive."
The emperor's expression became tense. After all, it was due to the fault of his own country. He had been forced to this point. It seemed that he had no choice but to hand over the fifth princess.
Just when he was about to make a decision, the young eunuch beside Xiao Dezi whispered in his ear. The emperor saw their actions and was curious about what had happened.
Sure enough, Xiao Dezi came to his side after hearing it, saying that Shen Ze'an was here. He seemed to have a backbone in an instant and sat up straight, and his expression was not as ugly as before.
"Please come in."
"yes!"
Shen Ze'an's face was pale, and he didn't walk as steadily as usual. Instead, his steps were weak and he looked seriously ill.
The ministers did not expect that Shen Ze'an was actually injured so badly.
“Lord Shen, is there something important? Why don’t you stay home and take a good rest?”
Chen Ze'an bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have captured several spies from the Qing Kingdom who have been trying to gather information about military matters. I have brought them here for your Majesty to deal with."
Shen Ze'an looked directly at the emperor, his eyes flickering as he looked at the fourth prince of Qing. The emperor almost understood what Shen Ze'an meant in an instant and pretended to be angry.
"What? Bring the person up here. I want to see who dares to be so arrogant."
The people who were brought up had their hands and feet tied up, and rags were stuffed in their mouths, so all that could be heard was a whimpering sound.
But the Fourth Prince knew at a glance that it was the person he had brought with him.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? These people are my guards. Are you trying to start a war by doing this?"
These words were serious, but the emperor was not afraid at all.
"Then I am curious. These people are spies captured by Lord Governor. How could they be the Fourth Prince's guards? Could it be that the Fourth Prince wants to steal our country's secrets?"
"I didn't, Your Majesty, you are falsely accusing me."
Shen Zean weakly retorted, "These people's whereabouts are strange. If they hadn't appeared in a place where they shouldn't be, how could they have been caught?"
