The Second Prince's faction was completely destroyed now.

At this time, the prince showed his ruthless side, and while the second prince was in trouble, he quickly eliminated several of the second prince's remnants in the court.

Gu Baiyu was once worried that such a ruthless heir would be detrimental to the Gu family and the Hou Mansion after he came to power in the future, but Prime Minister Gu was not worried at all.

"A king should have the world in mind, but he should not be too indecisive. I think it is good for the prince to be like this. The few he solved were also corpses. He has a vicious vision and decisive actions. He also punishes courtiers who make small mistakes. You should have the tolerance, yes, yes.”

Now that Prime Minister Gu said so, Gu Baiyu felt relieved.

In fact, she didn't have much time to think about these things.

In the blink of an eye, the child in my belly was four months old.

Gu Baiyu entered the most comfortable stage of pregnancy. She no longer had morning sickness, could eat and sleep, and gained weight in a few days.

Gu Baiyu looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little worried. She didn't know if she would be able to return to her original figure after giving birth.

She is a woman, and she also loves beauty!

In contrast, others were cheerful. Lingyu lamented that the young master did not make trouble, and even Xiao Yanlin said that the child in her belly belonged to a director.

It's just fine during the day, but at night, the worries of pregnancy begin to fill my mind.

Gu Baiyu lay in Xiao Yanlin's arms, chatting.

"Has the construction of what Gu Ruanruan gave to His Majesty already begun?"

Xiao Yanlin gave a faint hum.

Gu Baiyu was a little worried: "His Majesty asked Mr. Hou to take charge of this matter? Xiao Ruoyun just listened for a while, and now he is under house arrest. Although there are no restrictions on his movements, it is probably like this for the rest of his life. I am really worried about Mr. Hou... ....”

Xiao Yanlin put his hand on her belly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Gu Baiyu turned over and faced him face to face: "Tell me, if you propose that you want to take off your armor and return home now, how likely is it that His Majesty will release you?"

Xiao Yanlin was silent for a moment and said honestly: "The possibility is less than 10%."

Gu Baiyu sighed: "Does this mean we still have to stay in Kyoto? I don't know how long we will stay here. I want to go to the south. I heard that the winter there is also warm and is the best place for retirement."

Xiao Yanlin smiled and tapped the tip of her nose: "How old are you, and you already want to retire?"

Gu Baiyu wrinkled his nose: "Being with you is like being with a tiger!"

Xiao Yanlin's movements became heavier and he suddenly said: "Then Yu'er give me a cute little daughter. If she gives birth to a daughter, she won't give birth to a daughter, and we will be able to escape immediately."

Gu Baiyu also understood what Xiao Yanlin meant. If there was only one daughter, it would mean that the Hou family would not have a legitimate heir for the next generation. Xiao Yanlin's ambitions would not be too great, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Gu Baiyu suddenly became a little unhappy: "I asked you to solve the problem! Why did you push the problem to me? I'm so stressed now..."

"It's my fault. I like everything Yu'er can give birth to. If she gives birth to a son, I'll teach him to ride a horse. If she gives birth to a daughter, you teach her embroidery..."

"Why does my daughter have to be in the back house?"

Xiao Yanlin was helpless, and Gu Baiyu was becoming more and more difficult to coax now.

"Then it's all up to you. The house is yours to take care of, and so am I."

Gu Baiyu smiled proudly, that's pretty much it!

As they chatted, Xiao Yanlin felt sleepy and felt a little drowsy.

At this moment, Gu Baiyu suddenly spoke abruptly: "About Gu Ruanruan...doesn't the Marquis have anything to ask me?"

Xiao Yan was less sleepy: "When you want to say something, you will tell me."

Gu Baiyu was quiet for a while and then spoke slowly.

"Before I married you, I had a dream."

"I dreamed that I married Xiao Ruoyun, and my life was not good after the marriage. The person Xiao Ruoyun liked was Gu Ruanruan, and I ended up depressed."

"A lot of things happened to the Gu family. My father and eldest brother... Gu Ruanruan seemed to have a lot of abilities. With her help, Xiao Ruoyun had a smooth career, and they finally got married..."

"I was about to die, and you were the only one who came back to see me."

When Gu Baiyu said this, he paused and then said: "After I woke up, I was very scared. I didn't want to marry Xiao Ruoyun. I wanted to marry the person who gave me warmth before I died."

Xiao Yanlin slowly hugged the person in his arms tightly: "That was just a dream. You will live well, and we will all live well."

Xiao Yanlin asked nothing, said nothing, and seemed to have said everything.

At this moment, the things that had been accumulated in my heart for a long time suddenly disappeared.

The worries about the future that I had been having for many days were gone.

"Then this time, you have to protect me."

"Well, I will protect you for the rest of my life."
