Chang Hui sat in the outer room of the main house for a long time before stepping into the inner room.

"Linglang." He called softly as he walked lightly to the edge of the bed.

After a while, he exhaled gently following the gentle breathing of the child on the bed.

After taking off his robe, he lay down beside the little girl, facing her.

The little girl was sleeping soundly, her nostrils fluttering. Chang Hui reached out his hand and placed it on her abdomen through the quilt.

"It would be great if this were our child. I really want to have a child with Linglang. It would be best if the child looks like Linglang and has the same personality as Linglang."

"Linglang, I don't want to leave you. If I leave you, you will be snatched away by someone else!"

Xiao Linglang tried her best to control her breathing and make it sound even. The moment she heard Chang Hui speak, her breathing tightened instantly.

What left her?

Song Jue asked Brother Chang Pi to leave her? Was he speaking up for his sister? Was he asking Chang Pi to be aware of his own status?

What about the previous visits to deliver cakes to Chang Hui?

No, since he had met her, why was Brother Chang Hui so against her talking about him?

Could it be that Brother Chang Hui had never asked Song Jue to bring cakes? His repeated visits were to gather information. What about the jade belt? Was it intentional or accidental?

The questions in Xiao Linglang's mind popped up one by one, and she accidentally guessed some of them correctly. Chang Bei's chattering in her ears gradually turned into the sound of even breathing.

Xiao Linglang waited for a while, and when she felt that Chang Hui had fallen asleep, she gently reached out her arm, took away his hand that was resting on her belly, moved a little to the inside, and leaned her back against the wall.

Xiao Linglang was sleepy during pregnancy, so she tried to stay awake for a moment while thinking about something in her mind, and then she fell into a deep sleep.

What she didn't know was that at the moment she fell asleep, Chang Hui, who should have been soundly asleep, opened his eyes and stared at her in the dark for a long time.

The next morning, the world washed by rain was brand new. The green of tender buds covered Kyoto overnight. Xiao Linglang opened the window, smelled the fragrance of the earth in the air, and took a deep breath.

The baby in her belly seemed to wake up and kicked her gently. Xiao Linglang stroked her belly. Although the baby had been moving for a long time, she was still a little scared.

"Madam, are you awake already?" Runiang came in with hot water and looked at Xiao Linglang standing in front of the windowsill, a little surprised.

She put the basin aside, walked to the window, stretched out her hand to close the window frame, turned her head and said to Xiao Linglang earnestly: "Madam, the water is heavy this morning, so you'd better not stay in front of the window for too long, as you will catch a cold easily."

"Well, I'm just a little worried. Brother Chang Bei goes to work so early and slept so late last night. Will it be okay?" Xiao Linglang was worried. She turned around and followed Runiang's movements, walking towards the basin to prepare to wash up.

"Young Master, did you sleep very late last night?" Runiang said without even raising her head, while dipping a towel into hot water for later use. "Madam, I will braid your hair for you."

"Well, I was standing in front of the window last night, watching." As if she thought of something, she lowered her head shyly.

Runiang raised her eyes, smiled teasingly, and understood instantly.

After breakfast, Doctor Li came to the house today. After taking the patient’s pulse, he showed a gratified smile on his face.

Seeing this, Xiao Linglang immediately asked, "Doctor, can I stop taking my medicinal tea? Although it is very nutritious, I am worried that it is poisonous and will affect the child."

"Madam's body has recovered well. If you don't want to drink the medicinal tea anymore, you can stop."

Doctor Li said kindly. When he mentioned the child, he hesitated a little. He looked at the woman who was worried about the child and comforted her, "Madam has been relying on medicine to take care of her body since she became pregnant. Although the young master's body may not be as healthy as that of an ordinary person, it can be taken care of."

Xiao Linglang's forehead twitched twice. This doctor not only comforted her, but also made her anxious.

Touching her belly, I was glad she asked. If she kept taking medicine, the baby would definitely be weak.

"Thank you, Doctor. Runiang, please send Doctor Li for me."

"okay."

"Doctor Li, please."

After sending Runiang away, Xiao Linglang looked at Xing Qiu, who was hiding behind the door frame and waving at her, and her eyebrows twitched violently.

"What are you doing!" She stood up from her chair and ran over in a hurry. "If you alert Runiang and tell Brother Changpi, you will be in trouble."

Xing Qiu rolled over swiftly, twisted his neck, and said disdainfully: "It's still unclear who is causing trouble for whom."

She walked around Xiao Linglang and sat down on the couch. She leaned forward and said seriously, "The belt you mentioned is not the Second Prince's. I found out that he got it from the Third Prince."

"The third prince? Princess Guangning's brother?" Xiao Linglang closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then asked, "How is the relationship between the three of them?"

"They are like brothers from the same mother. The Imperial Concubine even regards the Second Prince as her own son."

"The Second Prince has come to my house many times, saying that Brother Chang Bei asked him to help deliver cakes, but Brother Chang Bei seemed to be unaware of this. He also asked Brother Chang Bei to leave me." Xiao Linglang's almond eyes flashed under her eyelashes, and she clenched her fists. "He was trying to get information about me and clear the way for Guangning. They must know something about the Xiao family's massacre."

Xing Qiu was silent for a long time, then spoke: "You trust Chang Pei so much, these people are directly or indirectly related to him, and you also saw that he has a close personal relationship with the second prince."

"I grew up with him, he is my brother, and I don't want to believe that he is such a greedy and power-seeking person." Xiao Linglang clenched her fists and whispered to herself, but in fact her trust in him had been shaken.

"You're not confident enough yourself." Xing Qiu sneered, leaning his head to his side. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Runiang had returned to the yard.

She took two steps to the windowsill and climbed out when Runiang entered the room.

"Madam, why are you standing here?" Runiang came back and saw Xiao Linglang standing in front of the round table in a daze. She was a little puzzled and thought something had happened. She walked forward and carefully supported Xiao Linglang.

"A moment of wandering."

Xiao Linglang sat down at the round table, thanked Runiang, waved her hand and told her to go about her own business, she wanted to sit alone for a while.

Runiang left only after she saw that there was really nothing wrong with her. She just thought that the young couple had a good relationship and started missing each other after being apart for a moment.

Xiao Linglang took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and her mind was in a mess.

Brother Chang Hui seemed to be pushed around, unable to control himself. Could the Third Prince be the mastermind? However, the Xiao family and the Third Prince had nothing to do with each other.

What about Princess Guangning?

When Brother Chang Pi was murdered by Tuoba Jin, he was saved by Princess Guangning. Did anything happen? Why was Brother Chang Pi able to rescue Xing Qiu and others from the Dali Temple, and who helped him exercise his privileges?
