Chapter 233 Fetal Movement

Sitting on a chair in the room, An Yunxi immediately winked at her prince.

During the eye contact, Ling Fengxun understood that Du Shi had already known about An Yunxi's pregnancy.

He immediately became serious and bowed to Du Shi, saying, "I have met my mother-in-law."

Du Shi returned the greeting and then smiled, "Prince, there is no need to be so polite. Xier told me the situation, and I didn't expect it either

." She heard that when the regent prince couldn't give birth, he even thought about what kind of baby An Yunxi would adopt in the future.

But she never expected that in the end, she would give birth to the baby herself.

Ling Fengxun showed a rare embarrassed expression on his face.

He was wrong in the first place, hiding Du Shi's secret, and his mother-in-law didn't blame him, which was already a good result.

The regent king who has the final say in the court of Beiling Kingdom has no airs in front of his mother-in-law, and even has a bit of flattery and humility.

"This is my fault. I blocked the news because I was worried that someone would harm the baby in Xiao Xier's belly. Please forgive me, mother-in-law!"

Du waved her hand, still smiling.

"It's okay. The prince has his reasons for doing so. I, a woman, won't talk too much. It's just that Xier must have difficulty walking during this period of time. She didn't see me for such a long time before. I'm very worried. As long as the prince allows me to come often, it will be fine."

"Of course, mother-in-law can come to the palace anytime."

With Ling Fengxun's words, Du immediately felt satisfied.

She turned around and gave An Yunxi a few more words, then said goodbye to Ling Fengxun, and walked out with the wind.

She looked like she was ten years younger.

Her radiant face made An Yunxi frown.

After leaving the palace, Du immediately touched her face to make her expression normal, trying not to let others see her emotions.

She had to protect her daughter and grandson .

After Ling Fengxun personally sent his mother-in-law away, the regent king quietly wiped his sweat and returned to his room. After

confirming that An Yunxi was in good condition, Ling Fengxun relaxed and told An Yunxi everything that happened in the court today.

This is how the two of them spend their daily time together. An Yunxi is bored staying at home alone, so she waits for Ling Fengxun to come back every night, and then sits together to talk.

The man has a pleasant and magnetic voice, with a subtle tenderness.

"Today, the emperor has decided to confer the title of Consort Mei on Princess Zhaoyue of the Southern Qi Kingdom, and the ceremony will be held in three months."

An Yunxi calculated the time.

Three months, it will not be long before she is pregnant.

Doctor Gu has already calculated that the baby in her belly will probably be born at the end of this year.

An Yunxi supported her chin and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, Liu is here today too, asking about the whereabouts of my third prince."

Hearing An Yunxi's words, Ling Fengxun's eyes instantly became deeper.

A dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Xi'er, since we already know that the assassination was arranged by the Third Prince's family, your aunt Liu is also likely to be the one standing behind the Third Prince."

Ling Fengxun told An Yunxi what he was thinking without hiding anything.

He would now tell An Yunxi about the affairs of the court.

To him, little Xi'er was someone he could trust.

An Yunxi widened her eyes slightly.

She murmured to herself, "Concubine Hui is close to Liu, and she is also related to my uncle. I am worried that the Anguo Marquisate will be involved."

She raised her hand gently and rubbed her eyebrows.

She had to tell her uncle about this matter.

Don't let a woman like this get implicated.

Ling Fengyan naturally knew what she was worried about. He raised his hand, touched her head and smiled, "Don't worry, I will tell Marquis Anguo indirectly so that your uncle can be mentally prepared. I believe Marquis Anguo will understand my painstaking efforts."

An Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "Then your Highness hasn't told me yet, where did you take the third prince?"

Ling Fengyan slightly raised the corners of his lips, "I sent him out of the imperial city to Linjiang to investigate a case. He won't be back before the end of the year."

There was extreme danger in his eyes.

The third prince was a prince after all.

It was easy to kill him.

But if the third prince really died, the forces behind him would definitely take crazy revenge without considering the consequences.

Even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't wipe out all those hidden subordinates who belonged to the lineage of the Third Prince at once.

If he was really pushed to the limit, there would inevitably be chaos in the capital again. Although he was not afraid, he didn't want to start a massacre in the capital before the child in Xier's belly was born.

Therefore, he chose to take the Third Prince as a hostage, so that the people behind him would not dare to act rashly before the whereabouts of the Third Prince were unknown.

Everything will wait until his and Xiao Xier's child is born.

Thinking of this, Ling Fengxun stood up and came in front of An Yunxi.

Then the tall man suddenly squatted down and put his cheek on her lower abdomen.

Feeling as if something was kicking back and forth on his belly, Ling Fengxun's face, which originally looked a little indifferent, could not help but curl up the corners of his lips at this moment, and his expression was as gentle as the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of spring flowers

. Three months passed in a flash.

During this period of time,

the negotiations between the little emperor and Bailitao on the alliance between the two countries were still continuing, and the other party had received two replies from the emperor of Nanqi.

Xu Meir was also concentrating on preparing to become an imperial concubine.

The rules in the Beiling and Nanqi palaces were somewhat different, so she had to learn all the rules and etiquette of the imperial concubine in the Beiling palace in a short time.

After the Third Prince was sent away, Concubine Hui also stopped making trouble and nothing happened.

Only the poor Second Prince Ling Changxi and the Chu family are still imprisoned.

Seeing that the end of the year is coming soon, just yesterday, the alliance between the two countries was finally officially signed. As long as the marriage is successful, the two countries will cease hostilities on the border for ten years, and will also conduct trade to enhance the national strength of the two countries.

This is a good thing for both countries, with only advantages and no disadvantages.

As long as it can be carried out successfully, Ling Changyue believes that the strength of Beiling Kingdom will surely rise steadily under his control, and his position as emperor will become more and more stable in the future.

At this critical juncture, the old doctor Gu, who had been treating An Yunxi, fell ill due to physical reasons.

The news soon reached Ling Fengxun's ears.

"Your Majesty, the old doctor suddenly fainted yesterday. After examination, it was found that he had a stroke, which was quite serious. He has not been able to get out of bed yet."

Ling Fengxun's brows wrinkled deeply when he heard the report from his subordinates.

Xi'er will soon be pregnant. It is too difficult for him to find another trustworthy doctor now.
