"Doctor Li, what happened? How is Xiaoxue?" Xiao Zhan sat down and asked anxiously.

Doctor Li sighed, shook his head, and said, "This is really fate... It shouldn't have happened, but it happened anyway. It's bound to be a storm."

"Doctor Li, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness, do you remember what I said before, that Princess Changle is almost impossible to get pregnant again because of the influence of Xiyong blood poison?"

These words pierced Xiao Zhan's heart like a sharp knife, and he never forgot this fact.

"Yes, I remember it very well."

"But a miracle happened. A body that was thought to be impossible to get pregnant is now pregnant with life. What an incredible turn of fate..."

Xiao Zhan was stunned, as if he was struck by lightning. Usually calm and composed, he was now so excited that he didn't know what to do.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor Li, are you saying that Xiaoxue is really pregnant?"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, for fear that he had heard it wrongly and hoping to get a positive answer.

Xiao Zhan looked at Doctor Li's complicated expression, and suddenly felt uneasy. Doctor Li smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know whether I should be happy for you or worried about you."

Xiao Zhan was struck by lightning by these sudden words. He asked hurriedly, "What did Doctor Li say?"

As a trusted doctor in the palace for many years, Doctor Li's words always carry weight. Xiao Zhan knows that if the situation is not serious, Doctor Li will never speak so bluntly.

"Your Majesty, although the princess is pregnant with the dragon seed, her physical condition is worrying." Doctor Li said slowly.

“She was once deeply harmed by the Xiyong blood poison, and her constitution is already weak.

This time, the fetus was in an abnormal position, and she accidentally inhaled a small amount of musk, which was too much for her to bear. I have tried my best to stabilize the situation just now, but even so, it is still unknown whether the child can be born safely. "

Xiao Zhan's heart sank to the bottom.

"Is there no other way?" There was reluctance in his voice.

"Given the current situation, even if we can barely save the baby, the princess will face great risks during childbirth. The possibility of dystocia is extremely high, and it may even be life-threatening," Doctor Li added in a heavy tone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but shudder. The tragedy in the harem was still vivid in his mind, and the scene of concubines dying in childbirth was heartbreaking.

"But this is our flesh and blood..." Xiao Zhan closed his eyes in pain, and Xiaoxue's gentle smile appeared in his mind.

"Your Highness, this matter requires you to discuss and decide with the princess. After all, this is not only your choice, but also the princess's choice." Doctor Li reminded.

Xiao Zhan nodded gratefully and bowed deeply to Doctor Li to express his gratitude.

Back in the palace, Xiao Zhan found that Xiao Xue had woken up and was gently stroking her belly, her eyes full of anticipation and love for her future life. At this moment, the maternal radiance moved Xiao Zhan.

“Yun Che, he seems to have moved.” A joyful smile spread across Jiang Xue’s face, with a gentle light gleaming in her eyes.

Ever since she found out she was two months pregnant, she had been filled with anticipation. Looking back, her period hadn't come for a while, and she had forgotten about it because she was so busy.

Although it was unlikely that a two-month-old fetus would have any obvious movements, she couldn't help but imagine the little life growing in her belly.

"Xiaoxue..." Xiao Zhan looked at how much she cherished the child, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He didn't know how to tell her the news that the child might not be able to be saved.

"I originally thought that I would never be a mother in this lifetime, but I never expected that God would give me such a precious gift. Yun Che, who do you think our child will look more like?"

Her words left Xiao Zhan speechless. It turned out that she already knew everything!

"Don't be surprised, Yun Che. As a doctor, how can you not know your own body?" Jiang Xue smiled and stretched out her hand to him. Xiao Zhan held that hand, sat on the bed, and held her palm tightly.

"When did you know that?" he asked.

"I knew about it not long after the blood poison invaded."

She was more sensitive to her body's changes than anyone else. On the first night of the blood poisoning, she realized that her physical condition was not optimistic.

Although she felt scared at first, she was stronger after having experienced life, and she soon calmed down.

“Yun Che, am I very selfish? Even though I know it’s hard for me to give you an offspring, I still want to keep you all to myself and don’t want to share you with anyone else.” Jiang Xue said with a wry smile.

Looking at her smile, Xiao Zhan felt a pain in his heart. He slowly moved closer and kissed her soft lips: "I like you just the way you are."

"I know what Dr. Li is worried about. It's true that my body is not suitable for pregnancy. Even if I get pregnant, it's hard to guarantee a safe birth. Even so, I still want to bring him into this world, even if there is a risk of dystocia."

When talking about difficult labor, Xiao Zhan held her hand tightly.

"Don't worry, not all mothers with difficult childbirth will lose their lives." Jiang Xue comforted her, "This child is a testimony of our love. Don't you want to see the life we ​​created together?"

In her dark pupils, Xiao Zhan's resolute face was reflected. Facing her determination, he was speechless.

He couldn't convince her to give up the baby in her belly, nor could he let her give up her motherly love.

In this case, he would not stop her. However, if the existence of this child threatened her safety, even if it was his own flesh and blood, he would never show mercy.

"What's the news about Chu Feimo and Qu Shang?" she asked, because the musk on Chu Feimo's body almost killed her child, and she wanted to settle the score with Chu Feimo.

Xiao Zhan frowned and said, "Chu Feimo was rescued. As for Qu Shang, he had a very powerful Taoist priest by his side who single-handedly broke through the encirclement of three thousand Yulin soldiers."

Although Xiao Zhan and Nan Jingxing shot and wounded the Taoist priest, the Yulin Army suffered heavy casualties and did not gain any advantage.

"That man named Li Yi is too unusual. Even if he is catalyzed into Danshi with drugs, no one can be as powerful as him. He is the one who killed more than a hundred people in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. This kind of enemy must be eliminated."

Especially since this person is Qu Shang's subordinate, it is even more dangerous.

"Don't worry, I have sent people to keep a close eye on them and will eliminate them as soon as there is a chance," he said.

Jiang Xue suggested: "Let Qiu Qianhuan go too. His martial arts may be able to compete with Li Yi."

"In fact, he has already volunteered to go. Qu Shang fled to Chengyuan, where there is Emperor Song Yi, whom Qiu Qianhuan vowed to avenge."

The topic turned back to Chu Feimo, "Do you know who saved him?"

Being able to rescue Chu Feimo from the encirclement is obviously not something that an ordinary person can do.
