"Nongnong, stop talking." Gu Linchao suddenly interrupted her in a deep voice.
Seeing that his expression was rather unpleasant, Wen Nongnong had no choice but to shut her mouth and looked at him with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
Gu Linchao came back to his senses, sighed, put his hand on her shoulder, and looked at her gently. "Nongnong, don't overthink it. That matter happened so long ago, and the Crown Prince of Jiande has been gone for so many years. Let's not bring it up again."
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong couldn't help but press his palm against her face and gently rub it, whispering, "Your Highness, please don't think I'm being nosy. I just feel sorry for you. Putting aside whether the Crown Prince of Jiande harmed you back then, even if he didn't, what you've done over the years is enough to repay his kindness."
Now that Gu Heng wants to wipe us out, I don't want Your Highness to still be mindful of past relationships and keep giving in. If Your Highness keeps giving in, the baby won't be able to live a peaceful life after it's born..."
At this point, she looked at him with teary eyes, "I'm just scared. I want Your Highness to be safe and sound, and for the baby to be safe and sound, so that our family can live happily ever after, without war or conflict, instead of always living in fear, afraid that the court will send troops to Xiangzhou again..."
Gu Linchao's heart tightened, and he wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his thumb. "Don't worry, Nong Nong, I won't let you and your child suffer."
Wen Nong Nong looked up at him and said, "Then Your Highness must keep your word, because if anything happens to Your Highness, I will definitely not be able to live."
Gu Linchao's heart softened, and he leaned down to give her a light kiss on the lips. "Silly girl, I won't leave you alone."
"That's good." Wen Nong Nong pouted, took his hand, and gently advised, "In that case, Your Highness should take the initiative instead of being forced to fight."
Gu Linchao stared at her intently for a moment, then closed his dark eyes slightly and said gently, "If this is what you want, then I will listen to you."
"Your Highness, go ahead. I will be waiting for you to return at the Prince's residence." Wen Nong Nong suddenly stood up from the water.
Gu Linchao looked at her for a moment, and finally agreed, "Okay."
Wen Nongnong blinked and breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally did not disappoint my uncle, elder brother, and second elder brother.
The prince was persuaded by her and agreed to send troops.
How could Gu Linchao not know what she and Xiao Yan and the others had been doing in private?
It's just that he's willing to give everything for her.
Even if it means seizing the country, they would not hesitate.
Because he wanted to give her a stable and worry-free life.
He took a blanket from the side, wrapped it around her, gently picked her up, and walked out of the bathroom.
...
Since that night, Gu Linchao has become unusually busy, sometimes even staying overnight at the military camp instead of returning home.
Wen Nongnong knew that a war between Xiangzhou and the imperial court was imminent.
Meanwhile, the imperial army had already assembled and was on its way to Xiangzhou.
Since Gu Linchao had already decided to attack Gu Heng, she was no longer worried.
As long as Gu Linchao wants to, Gu Heng has no chance of winning.
After several days of preparation, Gu Linchao decided to take the initiative to send troops to the capital under the pretext of "purging the court of corrupt officials".
Two days after he led his troops away from Xiangzhou.
As A-Tuo Jiang Hua helped Wen Nong Nong for a walk in the garden, she noticed a faint worry on Wen's face and asked with concern, "You look so worried, are you worried about something?"
Wen Nongnong shook her head. "No, I'm not worried."
"You still say you haven't? I haven't seen a smile on your face these past two days." A-Tuo Jiang Hua sighed. "Don't worry, I wrote to my brother some time ago and asked him to send reinforcements to Xiangzhou. They should arrive in the next few days."
Wen Nong Nong grasped her hand. "Thank you, but I'm not too worried about Xiangzhou's safety. After all, the prince led his army to the capital. Gu Heng is the one we should be most worried about. I heard he has already urgently recalled his troops and won't have the energy to attack Xiangzhou again."
"That's good." Atuo Jianghua breathed a sigh of relief. "But you should smile. You're carrying two babies now, and being in a bad mood can directly affect the babies." Atuo Jianghua said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong perked up and said, "Okay."
Atuo Jianghua was finally relieved. "That's right. I'll stay with you until you give birth before I go back to Xinjiang."
Wen Nongnong squeezed her hand. "Jiang Hua, thank you."
A-Tuo Jiang Hua said unhappily, "What are you thanking me for? Don't you still consider me a sister? Besides, I want to be the child's godmother, so naturally I have to do my part."
Speaking of this, Wen Nongnong paused for a moment and said tactfully, "Let's postpone the matter of becoming a godmother."
"Why?" Atuo Jianghua frowned. "You look down on me and think I'm not good enough to be the child's godmother?"
"Of course not, what are you thinking?" Wen Nongnong said helplessly, "I just think that there is a role that suits you better than being a godmother."
"What is your identity?" Atuo Jianghua asked curiously.
Wen Nongnong blinked and said playfully, "The child's maternal aunt."
"Auntie?" Atuo Jianghua was stunned. "What the heck is this?"
Wen Nongnong smiled but remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Atuo Jianghua suddenly realized something and said in disbelief, "You mean Xiao Yan?"
Seeing that she finally understood, Wen Nongnong couldn't help but speak well of Xiao Yan, "Actually, my uncle is a really good person. He is righteous and not a womanizer. He is very virtuous. Although he is in his mid-twenties, he has never even touched a girl's finger."
If I marry him, I'll definitely have a lot less to worry about in the future. Besides, my uncle is very handsome, and he'll definitely be a good husband. Good men like that are rare these days.
