After the violent wolf lord was reborn, he became sickly!

That night, the second prince and his favorite concubine were drinking and chatting in the pavilion. He got drunk and accidentally fell into the pond. He had a high fever and almost lost his life.

When the emperor heard about it, he was furious at his absurd behavior and fined him half a year's salary and confined him to his home for three months.

When Chang Hui heard about it, he had just come out of the princess's mansion and was preparing to go back to Qing'anfang to see the girl to relieve his homesickness.

"Sir, do you want to go see the second prince?" After the carriage left the princess's mansion and there were no people around, the servant lifted the curtain and asked the people in the carriage.

"No, let's go back to Qing'anfang."

"Here."

Recently, there have been some suspicious people acting near the Prince Consort's Mansion, so he had to act carefully, control his thoughts, and stay in the Prince Consort's Mansion or the Princess's Mansion.

It was late at night now, and by the time I returned, the little girl would have probably gone to bed already, so I wouldn't have to explain everything to her.

When he returned to the small courtyard in Qing'anfang, Xiao Linglang had indeed been settled in as he had expected.

He sat on the bed and looked at the delicate girl quietly for a while, then his gaze moved to her slightly bulging belly, and the tenderness in his eyes instantly turned cold.

Doctor Li said that it would be difficult to keep the baby, but now the fetus is stable.

After Xiao Linglang fell asleep, she had frequent nightmares.

She seemed to be in a sea of ​​fire, and seemed to hear Chanxin's cry. She ran over to the sound, but she didn't see Chanxin. Instead, she saw a ferocious beast with a bloody mouth and saliva hanging from the corners of its mouth. In a moment, the beast swooped down at her, and its sharp claws pressed on her belly...

"Whoo~"

Xiao Linglang opened her eyes in the darkness, patted her chest and sat up.

She dreamed that Tuoba Jin turned into a huge ferocious beast and opened his bloody mouth at her.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, lifted the quilt and groped to the round table, wanting to pour himself a cup of tea to calm himself.

She grasped the handle of the teapot and picked it up. The overly relaxed feeling made her look towards the window.

Xing Qiu finished her tea?

She lowered her head and tried again without giving up. The empty teapot actually dripped two drops of water under her persistence.

Xiao Linglang licked her cracked lips, her head spinning.

Didn't she say she felt uncomfortable after drinking it? Why didn't she leave any more?

It was still early, not even the fourth watch yet. Runiang should be sleeping soundly by now. Xiao Linglang didn't feel comfortable disturbing her, so she went back to bed and lay down again.

She endured it in a daze until early morning, then got up and left the main room. She saw Chang Hui chopping wood in the yard and paused.

"Why did Linglang get up so early?" Chang Hui saw Xiao Linglang, threw the axe in his hand to the ground, and ran to Xiao Linglang.

Xiao Linglang fixed her eyes on the person in front of her, glanced at the firewood behind him, and replied in a soft voice, "Thirsty, come to the kitchen to get some tea."

"Tea." Chang Hui thought of something and coughed softly, "Linglang, wait a moment. I'll go make it."

What was there for Xiao Linglang to not understand? The person who drank her tea last night was Chang Hui.

only……

Xiao Linglang's eyebrows twitched, and she understood more clearly why he came to chop wood so early.

Her tea was made from various tonic herbs, and in order to make it less bitter, Runiang added some honey.

No wonder the tea in the outer room is gone too.

Looking at Chang Hui squatting in front of the stove, Xiao Linglang clenched her hands and walked over.

"There's a strong smell of fireworks here, Linglang, please go out first, it will choke you."

How could such a gentle and kind young man, who looks like a good brother, be a hypocritical person?

Xiao Linglang bit her lip, shook her head gently, sat on the stool next to him with her belly in her hands, and asked softly, "What time did Brother Chang Hui come back? Is it time to eat?"

Xiao Linglang's proximity made Chang Hui's heat, which he had finally vented, flare up again, like the crackling of burning firewood.

"Before midnight last night."

He turned his head away with a red face.

"Brother Chang Pei is busy so late every day, don't they work? They are bullying Brother Chang Pei because he just arrived!"

Xiao Linglang clenched her fists, as if she was standing up for him.

Chang Hui laughed quietly.

"Brother Chang Pei, has there been any letter from mother?"

The little girl's tone was cautious and expectant.

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Chang Hui's eyes. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Linglang gently in silence.

Xiao Linglang lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"Linglang, give your aunt some time. She is very happy that you are still alive."

Chang Hui pursed his lips, sighed inaudibly, wiped his hands casually on his robe, and gently rubbed Xiao Linglang's head, his eyes full of heartache, "Although Lin'an is not far from Kyoto, my aunt was too sad because of my uncle's death and then mistakenly thought she had lost Linglang. If not for this, she would have come to the capital to see Linglang a long time ago."

"Really?" Xiao Linglang looked at Chang Hui with tears in her eyes.

"Of course. I send letters back every few days to inform Auntie of Linglang's recent situation. Auntie is also looking forward to the day when she can see the baby."

Tears in her eyes slid down her cheeks and Xiao Linglang nodded.

She looked into his dark eyes, her throat choked with sobs and she couldn't speak.

Chang Hui thought she was homesick, so he suppressed his slight displeasure, "Linglang is always shedding pearls now, this child is probably a crybaby, when it is born, I still have the right to discipline it as its uncle, I must vent my anger for Linglang, what if she hurts your eyes if she makes trouble every day."

Xiao Linglang chuckled and sniffed, "Now that the baby is born, I'll have to trouble Brother Chang Pei to pick up the ruler."

Chang Hui's eyes flashed, his gaze swept across her face, he curled the corners of his lips, nodded and hummed lightly.

When Xiao Linglang saw him turning his head, her ears turned pink and her Adam's apple rolled nervously.

Her fingers gently stroked her pregnant belly, and she felt a slight movement under her palm. Xiao Linglang's eyelashes trembled, and the scene she saw in front of Princess Guangning's mansion yesterday evening appeared in front of her eyes.

The handsome man who had disappeared for many days and was busy with official duties helped the gorgeous and beautiful woman get out of the carriage and walk into the mansion.

She and Xing Qiu stood in the dark, looking at Wenrou with eyes full of love, just like the way he was looking at her now.

Xiao Linglang felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife. Afterwards, Xing Qiu took her and sneaked into the Prince Consort's Mansion along the food delivery cart, where they met Old Madam Chang who was sitting in the pavilion listening to music.

"Brother Chang Hui, do you have any plans for the future? What kind of wife do you want to marry?"

"Not yet. Right now, I just want to protect you and your son. Once you are safe, I will send you back to Lin'an safely. My wife—"

He turned to look at her, his tone sincere and genuine.

"The person I want to marry is right in front of me. I will wait until the day when Linglang accepts me again."

Xiao Linglang suddenly tightened her hands, holding the handkerchief tightly, and met his gaze. She was moved, but her tone was weak. She asked in a stammering voice, "Brother Chang Hui, what if I...I always do this?"

Chang Hui raised the corner of his lips and held the little girl's uneasy hand, "Then I will stay with Linglang for the rest of my life. Our engagement will always stand. My wife can only be - and will only be Linglang."

Although his eyes were full of love, Xiao Linglang was cold all over.
