Her belly suddenly moved. Xu Mian pulled Shi Yan's hand and put it on it in surprise. "A Yan, did you feel it? The baby is moving."

Shi Yan felt the powerful fetal movement with his big palm. It was a wonderful feeling.

"The babies must be saying hello to me. I can see them in three months."

Shi Yan caressed her gently. Xu Mian held his face and kissed him, causing him to breathe faster and tighten his arms around her.

"Mian Mian, let's go in."

Shi Yan picked her up and walked into the hall, put her on the bed, and took off her shoes. He

took off the jade belt that was pricking his waist, took off his outer robe, and stared at Xu Mian intently, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.

Xu Mian was surrounded by loving eyes until he sat in front of her and gently took off her complicated silk dress.

"A Yan, I really want to say thank you to you. Thank you for tolerating these two children. In many ways, you are even more thoughtful than me."

Shi Yan gently stroked her beautiful skin and breathed heavily, "Mian Mian, I don't want you to say thank you, it makes us look distant. I want to hear you say that."

Xu Mian's body trembled and she moaned, "A Yan, I like you. Is that... the sentence?"

"Yes..."

Her face flushed and she felt indescribable shyness.

As the months of pregnancy progressed, her breathing became difficult. At this time, she gasped and felt like she was about to suffocate.

"Ah... Yan..."

. . . . .

Suddenly, Xu Mian started to cry, and Shi Yan got up in a hurry.

Xu Mian hugged his neck and cried louder and louder, aggrieved: "It hurts..."

Shi Yan soothed: "Where does it hurt?"

"My legs hurt... sob... sob..."

Shi Yan saw a red bruise on the snow-white skin, and blamed himself for being a little out of control just now, and blew gently on the red mark.

"Mian Mian, I'm sorry, I'll put some medicine on you."

He went down to find the ointment, and Xu Mian hugged his neck and refused to let go.

"No more medicine, it will be fine in a while..."

He massaged gently, and Xu Mian gradually calmed down, and took the initiative to kiss the strong chin.

Shi Yan pulled her away, "Mianmian, don't be like this..."

Xu Mian kissed him regardless. Shi Yan hugged her tightly, and when his hand slid to the bulging belly, he let go breathlessly.

"Mianmian, I am a hot-blooded man, I can't stand you being like this..."

Xu Mian reached out and touched his pajamas, "A Yan, ever since I became pregnant, you have been the one who loves me, pampers me, and satisfies me. You must be very uncomfortable, right?"

Shi Yan stroked her hair, "Mianmian, if I make you happy, I will also be satisfied."

Xu Mian moved closer, "A Yan, I will help you, I will pamper you."

She was like a soothing spring breeze, and suddenly Shi Yan sighed and hugged her tightly.

He said in a trembling voice: "Mianmian, you are alone, forever."

"Well, I belong to A Yan..."

When Shi Yan went to change his silk clothes and came back, Xu Mian had already fallen asleep. He didn't dare to say how scared he was, for fear that Xu Mian would see Shi Jun, but that was inevitable.

The next day, during the morning court session, the former eunuch Yu brought Shi Jun into the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty has ordered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will supervise the country and handle government affairs, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin will take over the Ministry of War and be in charge of the imperial palace guards and the security of the capital."

The court was in an uproar, and it was unclear what the situation was. Why would His Majesty let the Prince of Jin take charge of the military power? This was obviously an act of distrust of the Crown Prince.

Shi Yan and Shi Jun knelt down to receive the order. Shi

Jun looked provocative and sneered, "Prince, please give me more advice."

Shi Yan did not say much, knowing that this was an important step for King Huan to sideline him and support King Jin.

And he had to deploy his own troops secretly. Fortunately, the commander of the imperial army, Prince Fu, and the generals defending the city were his own people.

At night, in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother handed Shi Yan a brocade box.

"Grandmother, what is this?" The Queen Mother

thought, "When the late emperor passed away, he divided the military power into three parts and gave me the tiger talisman of one of the military powers. It was originally intended to be given to your father two years after he ascended the throne, but after what happened that year, I did not give the tiger talisman to King Huan."

"Yan'er, now that the Empress Dowager has given you the Tiger Tally, you can mobilize 40,000 Southwestern Troops. I hope you can use them wisely to defeat your uncle's conspiracy."

This was like a timely rain, Shi Yan was deeply moved, and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Empress Dowager. I will definitely make everything right."

The Queen Mother helped him up, "I have only one request from you, Yan'er, I hope you can spare Jun'er's life, he is innocent."

Shi Yan agreed with great difficulty, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, as long as Prince Jin can behave himself, I will properly place him."

"Grandmother, Prince Jin and I are both your grandsons. Why are you helping me?" The Queen Mother

praised, "Yan'er, although you have looked naughty and domineering since you were young, Grandmother can see clearly that you are a tolerant person with a heart that cares about the country and the people. This is the character of an emperor."

Shi Yan was encouraged and his confidence was boosted. "Grandmother, don't worry. Grandmother, Grandson has already sent a letter to General Zhang. He will contact the Northwest Army and will respond to Grandson's order together."

The next day, after the morning court, Shi Yan was entangled in the government affairs and had been dealing with them in the Zhenghe Hall.

On the outer wall of Penglai Hall, a tall man climbed over the wall and quickly entered the main hall.

Xuelian came out of the kitchen carrying the nourishing soup. Suddenly, she saw a dark shadow entering the main hall. The figure of the man was the same as that of the prince. It must be the King of Jin.

But if she shouted at this time, it would attract the guards outside the gate. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be angry. If she rushed back, it would be a fight between two tigers. At that time, the Crown Princess would be the one who was sad and anxious .

So she kept silent and did not carry the soup in.

The palace maid came out from the side hall, "Aunt, why didn't you send it to the Crown Princess?"

Xuelian handed her the soup bowl and deliberately said, "Go and heat it up again. It feels a little cold to my touch."

"Yes, aunt."

After sending everyone away, Xuelian stood alone at the door of the main hall, hoping that Shi Jun would leave soon.

In the main hall, Shi Jun entered the back hall. Xu Mian's breath became heavy, and he slowly approached the bed.

She was lying on her side, and her belly was already very big, so she couldn't sleep on her stomach like before.

Shi Jun leaned over, got close to her, and madly and greedily inhaled the fragrance on her body, murmured: "Mian Mian?"

Xu Mian's earlobes were wrapped in warmth, and she woke up as if she had been electrocuted. She thought it was Shi Yan who came back from the morning court.

Without opening her eyes, she reached out to grab his hair and murmured in a sweet voice: "A Yan, you are back?"

Suddenly, a burst of heat came, and her delicate lips were violently invaded and sucked. This feeling, this breath, Xu Mian woke up instantly. This is not A Yan, it's him!

Shi Jun hurriedly opened his eyes and let her go. Their eyes met, and their thoughts and love seemed to be frozen in this moment.

There was a long scar on his cheek, slightly lighter than his skin color. Xu Mian couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but quickly withdrew her hand.

However, he grabbed her hand and rubbed it on her cheek. His dark eyes were full of resentment, and he choked and said, "Mian Mian, I haven't seen you for four months. Do you miss me?"
