Chapter 213: Big Belly
He immediately straightened his sleeves, looked around to see that no one was around, and suddenly stopped, turned around and walked in.
The two eunuchs guarding the door of the bedroom saw that it was the powerful Eunuch Xu who came, and immediately bowed: "Meet Eunuch Xu."
Eunuch Xu's face was solemn: "We are here to pass a message to the prince inside."
"Eunuch, please come in."
The two immediately stood up and made way, opening the locked door.
Eunuch Xu walked in.
Inside the room, An Yunhe was sitting by the window reading a book leisurely.
Eunuch Xu suddenly quickened his pace and bowed to An Yunhe.
"Greetings, benefactor."
An Yunhe narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Eunuch Xu was stunned, he suddenly remembered something and said lightly, "Why are you here?"
This Eunuch Xu was the chief eunuch who was recruited by him after he sent troops to attack the Beiling Palace in his previous life and moved the capital here.
This person is loyal to him, smart, and capable, and is a useful talent.
Therefore, after An Yunhe was reborn, he secretly helped his family outside the palace, so that his mother, who died in his previous life because of poverty and lack of timely medical treatment, could be saved.
From that day on, Eunuch Xu willingly became his spy in the Beiling Palace.
This little Xuzi was very clever. He caught hold of Eunuch Wu's weakness and forced him to secretly reveal the news and plans he had learned from the emperor to him.
Eunuch Wu would send the news to a designated place, and then Xiao Xuzi bribed several people to confuse the public and prevent Eunuch Wu from knowing that he had done everything. After the news fell into his hands, he would use a pigeon to send it out of the palace.
An Yunhe did know a lot of things in the palace in advance because of his help, and even his identity after entering the palace was secretly helped by this person.
He provided him with enough money to open up some connections in the palace to facilitate his actions in the palace.
Unexpectedly, he had the courage to come here to see him.
An Yunhe put down the book in his hand, frowned and said: "It's very dangerous for you to do this, it will make people doubt your identity."
Eunuch Xu shook his head: "Don't worry, benefactor, most of the eunuchs in this palace are already servants, and they will not tell this matter. I came to see you just to thank you in person, but I didn't expect you to be the prince. As I said, if you have any instructions, just tell me."
An Yunhe raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Eunuch Xu was a little nervous.
After all, now that he knew An Yunhe's identity, the things that his benefactor told him next might be very dangerous and serious.
It might even require him to commit treason!
Eunuch Xu's eyes were determined. His benefactor had saved his mother's life, and his life belonged to him from then on. As long as he was told to do something, he would do it even if it meant risking his life!
An Yunhe said slowly, "If you want to repay me, I want you to assist the Regent Prince with all your strength, and protect the Regent Princess An Yunxi at all times."
Eunuch Xu was stunned.
He had never expected that his benefactor, An Yunhe, would make such a request when they first met.
That is to say, he does not need to betray Beiling Kingdom
Just when he was stunned, An Yunhe continued: "Although Beiling Kingdom has calmed down on the surface, there are still undercurrents behind the scenes. Don't think that I am repaying my kindness. My request to you is only what I said just now. As long as you do it, you can offset this favor."
Hearing this, Eunuch Xu said respectfully again: "Xiao Xuzi understands. Even if I risk my life, I will protect the Regent Princess!"
With his words, An Yunhe felt a little more at ease.
This kid is very cautious and smart. He believes that with him, An Yunxi's safety will be guaranteed
The next morning, in the Prince of Hen's Mansion.
Five months pregnant, An Yunxi's belly can no longer be hidden.
She hasn't left the palace for a month.
Seeing her belly getting bigger, she would be noticed as soon as she went out.
By then, even the dumbest person would know that she was pregnant.
An Yunxi was not afraid of her reputation being damaged, but she was afraid that Ling Fengxun would be gossiped about.
Now it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was getting hotter, and she was too lazy to step out of the room.
Ling Fengxun got up early in the morning and accompanied An Yunxi to finish breakfast, then said: "Xier, if you feel bored later, go to the pond. I asked someone to put some more fish fry in it."
An Yunxi smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry about me. There are people all over the palace, and I am not bored."
Because of her belly problem, An Yunxi didn't dare to meet her relatives recently.
It has been a month since she last saw her mother and brother. She actually missed them very much, but when the due date came, she would give birth to the child in the name of premature birth. When everything was settled, it would not be too late to spread the news of her pregnancy.
Hiding this news was also a protection for her. Everyone knew that the regent king was infertile, so they thought he would not seize the royal power, but once they knew that he was healthy
Ling Fengyan raised his hand and touched the top of her head.
Then he kissed her forehead with a very gentle look.
She immediately felt itchy at the center of her eyebrows, and a strange emotion surged to her heart, making her cheeks red.
Ling Fengxun smiled and said, "I will go meet the envoys from the Southern Qi Kingdom. I will come back as soon as possible today to have dinner with you."
"Okay, Your Majesty, be careful."
After a simple farewell.
Ling Fengxun walked out of the palace, then got on the carriage and headed for the palace.
An Yunxi suddenly felt bored. Although the symptoms of morning sickness have eased a lot, she still has no appetite.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she suddenly saw a black-robed figure walking towards her.
Huixin, who hadn't been seen for almost a month, actually appeared in front of An Yunxi like this.
An Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to cover her belly.
Although her dress was loose, it was not enough to completely cover the changes in her figure.
Therefore, Huixin saw it right away.
Chunyue saw the figure in black robe and almost subconsciously blocked in front of An Yunxi, and then looked at Huixin vigilantly.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Huixin stood there blankly, staring at her belly without blinking, and didn't even come back to her senses.
An Yunxi patted Chunyue's shoulder, and then smiled and said, "It's an acquaintance, it's okay, Master Huixin came to see me, it must be something urgent."
Huixin heard An Yunxi's voice, then reacted, he lowered his head, the look in his eyes was obscure.
As a secret guard of the palace, he knew some gossip in the palace.
Someone spread the rumor that the regent king could not have children.
When he first heard the news, he felt sorry for An Yunxi who had just become the Regent Princess. But now the Princess appeared in front of him with a big belly.
It's only been two months. A normal belly shouldn't be this big. Does that mean she was pregnant before the Princess married the Regent?
Huixin's not-too-complicated mind: "!?"
