Jiang Xue knew clearly that Feng Ziqing's action might not be out of true love for her son, but more of a desire to get out of the predicament as soon as possible.

Such maternal love made her feel both ridiculous and sad.

On the other hand, since agreeing to teach the little emperor martial arts, Jiang Xue would stay in the palace every day to guide him.

She was surprised to find that Jiang Heng was not only smart but also had extraordinary perseverance. Although the training was hard, he never complained.

During a break between classes, Jiang Xue gently wiped the sweat off Jiang Heng's face with a handkerchief. At that moment, she seemed to feel again the warmth that her brother once gave her. At this moment, she truly loved Jiang Heng as her nephew.

"Thank you, aunt." Jiang Heng said sincerely.

"Just hold on a little longer." Jiang Xue responded gently.

Jiang Heng nodded, but thought in his heart that it turned out that his aunt could teach martial arts so gently, not as strict as she said before.

As the days passed, Xiao Zhan began to teach Jiang Heng how to read and govern the country, while Jiang Xue quietly accompanied him.

This is a precious time. Despite the constant internal and external troubles, the tranquility at this moment is invaluable.

At night, Jiang Xue stood by the window and stared at the bright moon. Xiao Zhan quietly hugged her from behind: "Xiaoxue, what are you thinking about?"

"Yun Che, the moon is so beautiful tonight."

"No matter how beautiful the moon is, it can't compare to you." He whispered.

"You were always so cold before, and I never thought I would hear such sweet words from you."

"True love teaches every man to say sweet words. I love you. This has become part of my life. Every word I say is from the heart."

"It's nice to have you by my side."

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "When I was in the frontier in the past, whenever I missed my hometown, I would look at the moon and wonder if you were looking at the same sky. Now we can really enjoy the moon together, I am very happy."

"So easily satisfied?"

Xiao Zhan asked with a smile: "I also want us to enjoy the moon with our children and even grandchildren in the future."

"Do you like our children?"

“I certainly love our kids.”

He whispered, "I know now is not the right time, so I haven't thought about having another child. Don't worry."

However, Jiang Xue gently left his embrace, turned around and looked directly at him: "Yun Che, I might... be pregnant again."

Xiao Zhan was surprised and happy, and held her hand tightly. Although now was not the best time, if the child was already in the womb, it would be the most wonderful gift.

"I'm not sure yet."

She said: "My period is seven days late and I feel a bit nauseous in the morning, so there is a possibility that I am pregnant."

"Since we are not sure, let's ask the doctor to take a look."

Xiao Zhan said anxiously: "I'll go find Jiang Xiaoan right now."

He turned around and tried to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Xue: "It's too late now, let's go tomorrow."

"But I don't want to wait a moment."

Seeing his resolute look, Jiang Xue couldn't help but shake her head. Why was he so anxious at this moment when he was usually so steady? Poor Jiang Xiaoan was going to be called out in the middle of the night again.

Maybe this is the friendship between brothers, even if it is just a joke.

About an hour later, Xiao Zhan brought Jiang Xiaoan back to the mansion.

As soon as he finished paying his respects to Jiang Xue, Xiao Zhan anxiously ordered, "Ju'an, quickly check the princess' pulse."

Jiang Xiaoan thought Jiang Xue was not feeling well. After all, his third cousin must have something important to tell him when he woke him up from bed late at night.

However, after he checked her pulse, he looked at Xiao Zhan with a puzzled look on his face: "Her pulse is normal, her body is fine, and she doesn't have any signs of illness."

"It's not a question about illness."

Xiao Zhan clarified: "Is she... pregnant?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoan was stunned, and responded after a moment: "***Everything is normal, there is no pregnancy pulse."

Seeing this, the light in Xiao Zhan's eyes dimmed, and this change did not escape Jiang Xiaoan's eyes.

He knew in his heart that there must be something hidden between the two, otherwise they would not have come to diagnose whether she was pregnant in the dead of night.

Jiang Xue continued, "My period was seven days late this month, and I felt a little nauseous this morning. Logically, these are signs of pregnancy."

"It is true that many pregnant women experience such reactions, but this does not mean that these symptoms are definitely a sign of pregnancy."

Jiang Xiaoan explained: "Excessive fatigue can also cause delayed menstruation, and eating unpalatable food can also cause nausea. And..."

He paused, glanced at Xiao Zhan, and continued: "The princess was once poisoned by a cold, which caused damage to her body. It is indeed not easy for her to get pregnant again now.

I actually knew that the princess took birth control pills, and this further confirmed my suspicions.”

"I was never told that cold poison could affect conception."

"Which doctor would dare to speak frankly about this kind of thing? At most, they would just say that it needs treatment."

Jiang Xiaoan added: "I had already discovered this problem when I was in Tianhe, but I was afraid of angering the princess, so I didn't dare to mention it. If it weren't for the fact that the princess is now very disappointed because of this matter, I wouldn't have said it."

"Then, can you cure me?" Jiang Xue asked.

"I will try my best, but please don't have too high expectations, Princess." Jiang Xiaoan replied with a frown.

"I understand. You can go back and rest first."

Jiang Xue asked Fu Dong to send Jiang Xiaoan away, and the latter left immediately. He knew that the couple needed to be alone at this moment.

Since learning that Jiang Xue had difficulty conceiving, Xiao Zhan has remained silent, which made Jiang Xue feel uneasy.

Finally, she broke the silence: "Yun Che, I'm sorry, I thought this was news that would make you happy. No matter what, I support your decision."

"Xiaoxue, my choice is always you. You are the most important to me."

Xiao Zhan gently stroked her face:

"Children are just a beautiful embellishment in life, and you are everything to me. How can I give up my entire world for that embellishment? Besides, we already have three such excellent children."

"Yun Che!"

Jiang Xue chuckled, but there was a hint of imperceptible sadness in her smile. A tear quietly slid down and landed on Xiao Zhan's palm, touching his heart.

This strong princess actually shed tears for him at this moment. This emotion was enough to shake people's hearts. Xiao Zhan secretly swore that from now on, he would never let her shed any tears for him again.

"I was really scared just now, afraid that you would choose to leave."

She said frankly: "Although I know this is very selfish, you are the only happiness and peace in my life. Even if I can't give birth to a child for you, I still want to have you all to myself. I hope you can accompany me through this life."

Xiao Zhan pinched her nose gently and said with a smile: "It turns out that my Xiaoxue can also be afraid sometimes."

"Everyone has something they are afraid of, and I am no exception." Jiang Xue replied softly.

Xiao Zhan hugged her tightly in his arms: "I promise you, the things that scare you will never happen."

"I believe you," she responded simply but firmly.
