Chapter 425 These thieves killed my son
"Your Highness, rest assured, I would gladly give my heart to Haitang."
Mo Ran made another set of vows.
"Alright, you can go out now. Have someone cook some light porridge for Haitang. She seems to be unable to tolerate any meat these days."
"yes."
Mo Ran immediately galloped away.
When Haitang woke up, she saw Jiang Wanning and Shen Ruzhi standing by her bedside, staring at her with serious expressions.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, why have you returned?"
Haitang thought that the two of them had returned because she had fainted, so she immediately got out of bed and bowed, saying, "It's all my fault for making Your Highness worry."
Jiang Wanning helped the person up, saying, "You really made me very worried."
"Begonia, you and Peony have been by my side since you were little, and I trusted you the most. I never expected you to..."
Confused, Haitang immediately asked nervously, "Did I do something to displease the Princess?"
"Whatever this servant has done wrong, Your Highness, please punish me as you see fit."
"Alright, Ningning, stop teasing Haitang. Look how scared she is."
Shen Ruzhi was in a rare good mood today and said with a smile, "But Haitang, you're not even married yet, and your princess isn't even pregnant, yet you've already gone straight to the final step?"
Haitang followed Shen Ruzhi's gaze, looked down at her abdomen, and recalled how Lady Ningyuan looked when she was pregnant.
Only then did she belatedly touch her lower abdomen, "I...I'm pregnant?"
Seeing Jiang Wan Ning and Shen Ru Zhi smiling at her without saying anything, she remembered that it had indeed been more than a month since her last period.
"It's only been a month, and the pregnancy isn't very stable yet. You have to be careful these days," Jiang Wanning advised.
Haitang looked down incredulously, feeling her abdomen. "This servant has only done this once..."
"Mo Ran has told us everything," Jiang Wan Ning said. "From now on, you just need to take good care of yourself."
Haitang was a little embarrassed, "Your Highness... I, I'm not ready yet, could this child..."
Before Haitang could finish speaking, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Mo Ran, carrying a bowl of porridge, knelt down beside Haitang and Jiang Wan Ning with a thud.
"Your Highness, we cannot agree to this, we absolutely cannot agree to this."
"What can't you promise?" Jiang Wan Ning asked, puzzled.
“We can’t grant Haitang’s request.” Mo Ran said, then turned around and knelt down in front of Haitang. “The child is ours, you can’t be so selfish.”
"I beg you, please don't abandon the child."
"Don't worry, I will treat you and your child well, I definitely will." Mo Ran said anxiously, "When we return to Dongling, I will entrust all my possessions and my life to you."
"Never give up the child. It's fate that the child came into our lives. This child is destined to be with you and me, don't you think?"
Haitang stamped her foot in embarrassment, "Idiot, who said we don't want children?"
"Then... what did you mean by what you just said? I heard it all outside, but of course I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to be there."
"I wanted to ask Your Highness whether the child is healthy. I don't usually pay attention to health, will that be bad for the child?"
"Don't worry, even if you don't want the child, I will raise it to adulthood on my own."
"How could I not want you and the child?" Mo Ran stood up happily and held the porridge in her hand to Haitang's lips. "Have some."
"You haven't eaten properly for several days."
Haitang looked at Jiang Wanning and Shen Ruzhi standing to the side, and shyly punched Mo Ran's chest, "You silly boy."
Jiang Wanning and Shen Ruzhi tactfully covered their eyes and walked out.
"By the way, you can't do anything bad for the first three months, okay?" Jiang Wan Ning stopped at the door and reminded her.
Haitang was so embarrassed that she didn't say anything, her head almost burying itself under the bed. Mo Ran, on the other hand, gratefully said to Jiang Wan Ning, "Thank you for reminding me, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will certainly keep that in mind."
Jiang Wan Ning then turned and left, relieved.
After leaving the room, Jiang Wan Ning took Shen Ru Zhi's hand and began to take her pulse.
"I'm perfectly fine, you don't need to show me."
“Your health has been very weak lately,” Jiang Wan Ning said. “I’ll write you a prescription to help you recover.”
“I’ve stayed in Xixia for too long, Zhizhi. I should go back too. The Empress is about to give birth in the next few days, and Xiao Yu doesn’t have much time left. I’m afraid something might happen.”
"The prince is alone over there."
Shen Ruzhi laughed and said, "If you don't tell me so much, how could I not understand you?"
"It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. Once the matter in Dongling is settled, we can still go out together often."
Jiang Wan Ning nodded with a smile. The main reason was that Langya King Pei Yan Chuan was sending her a letter every day, and she was almost at a loss for how to reply.
In the end, all that could be written on the original letter was "read".
She was afraid that if she returned a few days later, Pei Yanchuan would come again.
"By the way, the King of Qin sent a letter these past few days saying that Yu Hai has almost recovered and will be able to set off for the capital soon."
Jiang Wan Ning looked at Chen Ru Zhi very seriously and said, "You have to be careful then too."
"You're only a little over a month ahead of Haitang."
"You must restrain yourself. If you really can't restrain yourself, then..." Jiang Wan Ning whispered in Shen Ru Zhi's ear.
Shen Ruzhi blushed slightly and gently pushed Jiang Wanning away, saying, "Ningning, how did you become so naughty? You even say this."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said, "Wasn't I doing that for the sake of the child?"
After the two playfully teased each other for a while, Shen Ruzhi said seriously, "But Ningning, speaking of which, why haven't you done it yet?"
We've been married for two years, so how come...?
Jiang Wanning was quite frank, saying, "Having children is all about fate, and I guess our time hasn't come yet."
Are you sure it's not Pei Yanchuan who has a problem?
Jiang Wanning smiled and said, "Your Highness is in very good health and has no problems whatsoever, as do I."
"It's just that when we first got married, there were too many things to do. Even if we had a child, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to protect it properly. Besides, when I'm busy, I don't have much time to spend with the prince."
Shen Ruzhi then said with relief, "It's all my fault. Everything was finally over, and you came to keep me company again."
"It seems you should head back soon."
“My child will have a companion in the future, otherwise, if they are too different, they won’t be able to play together.” Shen Ruzhi joked.
The two strolled through the Western Xia palace until late at night.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Wan Ning then prepared her things and returned to Dongling.
Shen Ruzhi didn't show much sadness, after all, separation is for a better reunion next time.
She also believes that her feelings for Ningning will not fade because of distance or time.
Mo Ran and Hai Tang also left with Jiang Wan Ning.
They could have arrived much sooner on horseback, but Mo Ran insisted that Hai Tang ride in a carriage.
