Ji Xiaotang chuckled softly, then nodded: "Yes, it's been two months already. Don't you feel anything at all?"
Third Sister's face was filled with surprise and joy; she simply didn't know how to express her feelings at that moment.
"Is this...is this real? It feels like a dream. Could this be a dream?"
Third Sister was so excited that tears streamed down her face.
I always thought I was too old to have children, but I never expected to have one.
"Why are you crying? This is a good thing, isn't it something to be happy about?"
Ji Xiaotang looked at her and then prescribed her a few more doses of medicine.
"You people always think you're healthy and don't take these things seriously. But when something happens, you turn around and cry. From now on, you need to pay attention to your diet and daily life, okay? Don't blame me for not reminding you."
After giving his instructions, Ji Xiaotang was led by a servant to his guest room to rest.
Now that Third Sister is pregnant, there are some things she can no longer do. However, she is a kind-hearted person, and if she is not allowed to do things, she will feel uncomfortable.
"Third Sister, now that you are pregnant, you don't need to trouble me anymore. You should go and rest."
"That won't do. I have to stay here and watch over you. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. I'm very healthy, so don't worry. I guarantee everything will be fine."
San Niang wanted to sleep on the ground without saying a word, but Cui Yulu stopped her.
"You should stay in bed with me. This bed is so big, I don't feel safe sleeping alone."
Seeing the large bed, San Niang realized it was a waste for one person to sleep alone, so she stopped refusing and went to bed with her.
"Now that you are pregnant, you don't need to take care of me like before. Fortunately, there are many servants in this mansion, so let them take care of me. Also, you must be more careful in the first two months and not be careless."
“Look at you, you’re only two months older than me, and you’ve already started lecturing me. You’re really going to be a mother, your mouth is already starting to nag.”
Third Sister grasped her arm, and the two began to chatter incessantly.
This allowed Cui Yulu to temporarily forget about Fu Xiaoyu's accident, finally easing the tension in her heart.
But good times are always short-lived. Soon news came from Kyoto that Cui Yulu was to return to Kyoto.
This was a decree personally issued by Fu Xiaofan, saying that it would be more convenient to take care of Cui Yulu and her son in the capital.
"I think the emperor really doesn't understand you. How can you be happy in the capital? He even has the audacity to say it's for your own good. I really don't understand what the emperor is thinking."
Du San Niang couldn't help but complain.
But who in the world dares to disobey the emperor's decree?
At this moment, Cui Yulu's heart was completely dead.
The army has returned victorious, and everyone has come back, except for Fu Xiaoyu.
Now the emperor is bestowing great rewards upon the three armies, and everyone who sees it receives a share, except for Fu Xiaoyu. Instead, this honor has been transferred to Cui Yulu and the child.
This young emperor has done a good enough job.
"Third Sister, please don't say that. The Emperor sent us to the capital because he cares about us. We have no other choice but to go to the capital now. If you and your elder brother miss home, you can go back to the foreign lands. You can't just keep wandering around outside, can you?"
“I don’t want to hear what you’re saying. I said I would stay with you forever, and I mean it. Now you’re going to Kyoto all by yourself, all alone. How can I be at ease? Tuoba Xuan and I have already discussed it. We will stay with you forever, and even if you go to Kyoto, we will go with you.”
After finishing her speech, San Niang glanced at Tuoba Xuan, who nodded vigorously in agreement.
Now, Du Sanniang is a great contributor to their family, and the future of the Tuoba family is in her belly.
He had to obey, whatever Third Sister said, and he had to make her happy.
"Yes, girl, we've made up our minds. Wherever you go, we'll go. We have to protect you the whole way. If you go to Kyoto, we'll go to Kyoto together. In short, we can't be separated."
"Yes, Yulu, and the two of us. Master instructed us to protect you, so wherever you go, we will go. We can't be separated from you."
Cui Yulu was deeply moved. Her greatest gain over the years was none other than these few close friends.
With them by her side, she didn't feel lonely.
Although they are not my relatives, they are all like family to me.
"It's so good to have you all by my side. Even if Fu Xiaoyu really is gone this time, I won't do anything foolish again. I will raise the children to adulthood; they are the continuation of the prince's life."
“Sister, you can’t say such discouraging things. I asked Wu Jin, and as long as you can still feel the Heart-Connecting Gu, it proves that the Prince is not dead. Maybe he’s just lost for a while and will come back in a few days, just like when you were in the Ghost Cave. He will definitely come back.”
Speaking of the Heart-Connecting Gu, Cui Yulu could indeed still sense it, and sometimes he could even feel the Gu worms were unusually active. He wondered what the Gu worms had gone through on the other side.
But none of that matters; as long as the person is alive, that's all that matters.
"Yes, I can sense the changes in the Heart-Connecting Gu. Your Highness is a lucky man and will surely turn misfortune into good fortune. However, let's not make a fuss for now and wait until we get to the capital to make further plans."
The entire Yuan Dynasty now believes that Fu Xiaoyu is no longer alive, so people sympathize with her, the newlywed princess.
However, most people considered her an unlucky omen, after all, Fu Xiaoyu was their God of War Prince, and with him around, the small countries surrounding the Great Yuan Dynasty dared not invade them.
Ordinary people can live a relatively stable life.
However, once those small countries learned of Fu Xiaoyu's death, they began to make frequent small moves in the surrounding area and started to invade nearby towns.
The people of this remote town hated her the most.
Some even believed she was an unlucky witch.
The situation in Kyoto is not peaceful either. Consort Jia, who should be enjoying her retirement in the palace, is now making trouble.
Especially after learning that Cui Yulu had used underhanded means to deal with Zhu Xin, he became extremely unfriendly towards this princess from the common people.
He couldn't wait to find her fault and expel her from the royal family. He even considered replacing Fu Xiaoyu with a princess.
However, Fu Xiaoyu's death on the battlefield was truly unexpected for her. Even so, she still had to teach Cui Yulu a lesson.
Let her learn the rules of Kyoto properly.
Of course, Cui Yulu would only hear about these things after she embarked on her journey to Kyoto. At this time, she had no idea what fate awaited her in Kyoto.
However, she had a premonition that nothing good ever happened when she went to Kyoto, and this time would be no exception.
