Tuoba Hong was extremely anxious, "Doctor Zhang, what happened to the queen?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen is happy."

"really?"

"It's true, but the Queen has been feeling weak these days. I'll prescribe some medicine to help with the pregnancy and she'll be fine."

"Okay! Come here, give me a reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I will take my leave now."

"Dr. Zhang, please!"

In an instant, the palace was filled with joy.

"It's a blessing for Dongyue that the queen got pregnant so quickly!" Tuoba Hong didn't expect that before he went to war, Zhihan actually got him pregnant.

Yun Zhihan was also very happy. She had no children in her previous life, but after traveling through time, she unexpectedly had a baby, and the most important thing was that she gave birth to the baby herself.

Tuoba Hong suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, saying, "Oh no, I forgot to ask Dr. Zhang whether the queen is pregnant with a boy or a girl."

She sneered, "It's only been a month, how can you tell whether it's a boy or a girl? Your Majesty, please don't embarrass the doctor."

"Yes, yes, I am confused." Tuoba Hong was so happy that he was incoherent. "Everyone in the palace will be rewarded today. Yunyan has done a great service in taking care of the queen, so she will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Yunyan smiled faintly, wishing that Jin'er would say that she could have meat to eat if she followed her aunt.

Yun Zhihan touched her belly and asked secretly, "Tongzi, is the baby in my belly a boy or a girl?"

She didn't want to ask for the result. After all, what could be seen from such a small fetus? Even modern medicine couldn't tell.

Unexpectedly, Tongzi told her the answer directly, "Hanhan, you are pregnant with a little prince."

Yun Zhihan's smile froze, and he asked in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, can Tongzi lie to you?"

Tuoba Hong noticed the change in her expression and asked with concern, "Zhihan, are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach? Do you need to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?"

Yun Zhihan reacted and shook her head, "I was wondering if the emperor should think of a name for the child?"

"Hahaha! The Queen said she's not in a hurry, but I think she's more anxious."

Of course, she already knows whether it's a boy or a girl, so why doesn't she prepare a name in advance?

"I think we can prepare two names, that will be enough."

"Yes, yes." Tuoba Hong thought about it and decided to give the boy a straightforward name as he hoped he could inherit his throne.

"I think the son should be named Tuoba Cheng, which means inheritance. As for the girl, let me think about it carefully." This is the apple of his eye, so he must consider it seriously and not deal with it hastily.

Yun Zhihan just smiled and said nothing. As long as the son had a name, it was fine. As for the daughter, she would not be able to catch up with this batch, so she would have to wait for the next batch.

While everyone was excited, Commander Yuwen came to report.

"Your Highness, I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

"Is there any movement in the South Country?" Tuoba Hong was startled and felt that something was wrong.

Yu Wen looked at the queen beside him and said nothing.

"Commander, don't worry about the Queen. She is my wife and needs to know about this matter."

"Yes!" Since the emperor said so, he naturally had no objection.

"Your Majesty, an urgent letter came from the border, saying that the first battle of the Southern Kingdom might be against Dongyue."

"Is the news accurate?"

"Your Majesty, I am 80% sure, but I cannot rule out the possibility that the Southern Country is bluffing."

Tuoba Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Prepare 20,000 troops to support the border and be ready to fight at any time."

"I will obey your orders!"

After Commander Yuwen left, he looked at Yun Zhihan with resentment, "I'm afraid I have to part with the Queen again."

"Your Majesty and I have a long future together. We don't need to care about this momentary happiness. The people of Dongyue are more important."

"I knew Zhihan was always considerate." But he was also unhappy, couldn't I just symbolically try to keep him? Even if it was fake, it would be fine.

Yun Zhihan also wanted to keep him, but she was more worried about her son and daughter who were far away in the Great Zhou. If Tuoba Hong did not go to the war, the children's lives would be in danger.

……

The next day after learning the news, Tuoba Hong gave the imperial edict to Yun Zhihan and called Prime Minister Huyan and Commander Qiu Lin over.

"Prime Minister Huyan is a senior minister in the court, and Commander Qiu Lin has been my comrade-in-arms for many years. After I go to war, Prime Minister Huyan will supervise the country. If you have any questions, please ask the Queen for her opinion."

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, women in the harem are not allowed to interfere in state affairs. Please revoke your order."

"Prime Minister Huyan is wrong. The times are different now. The Queen has made great contributions to my stable rule. I only trust her, not to mention that she is pregnant with a prince."

After hearing this, Prime Minister Huyan's eyes lit up. The queen is pregnant with a prince?

In this way, even if the emperor really cannot come back, there will be a prince to inherit. If this is the case, it is not impossible for the queen to assist in the government affairs.

"Old minister understands!"

Seeing that both of them had compromised, Tuoba Hong reminded them again, "During the time when I am away, there will definitely be some villains who will be eyeing us covetously. Commander Qiu Lin must be on high alert and protect the queen at all costs."

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

After instructing the civil and military officials, Tuoba Hong returned to the palace, hugged Yun Zhihan and said, "This expedition is a battle between Dongyue and Nanguo. For now, Yunyan will not be brought along, so as not to worry you."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Yan'er is sensible and will understand. How long will Your Majesty be gone?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back in about three months."

The Southern Kingdom wanted to launch a surprise attack, believing that if Dongyue joined forces with Dazhou, their chances of winning would be too low. They could only solve one first, or at least weaken Dongyue's military strength, before they could launch an attack on Dazhou.

In fact, Tuoba Hong had guessed this would happen a long time ago. After all, there were fewer people in Dongyue, and it was indeed so on the surface. But what the Southern Kingdom did not know was that the physical fitness of Dongyue’s soldiers was stronger than that of people from other countries.

If a war really breaks out, the Southern Country may not be the opponent.

Xie Baijin, who was far away in the Great Zhou, also thought of this. She also guessed that the Southern Kingdom would not dare to attack the Great Zhou rashly, but it could disgust Dong Yue.

Therefore, she will take this opportunity to assist Dongyue, but Da Zhou will not go to Dongyue to fight. Instead, it will raid the Nan Kingdom's lair and seize their food and supplies first, and then the mission will be accomplished.

With this idea in mind, Xie Baichen and Xie Baijin went to the palace together to meet the emperor and discuss the matter with him.

But Murong Yan felt that this was not right. Since the Southern Kingdom was attacking Dongyue, wouldn't this give Da Zhou time to train its troops? Why take the risk?

Bai Jin guessed that this man had no achievements in military strategy and didn't care about his mother's life or death.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this expedition is a must. First, it can boost the morale of the soldiers; second, it can show Dongyue the cooperation between the allies."

"Next time the Southern Kingdom attacks, Dongyue will help without hesitation."

But the suspicious Murong Yan asked, "How can you guarantee that they will fully assist?"
