Zhang Desheng quickly responded with a smile and went out to ask someone to prepare a reward.

These words were heard by all the concubines in the harem and the ministers' families present.

After all, from the Crown Prince to the Fifth Prince, several of the married princes have not yet given birth to sons.

Concubine Wan Shu was so angry that her face turned pale and blue. She only had one daughter, Yan'er.

If the baby in Li Shuangwan's belly is a boy, he will be the eldest grandson of the royal family.

Ling Heng married the daughter of the General who controls half of the Northern Jin military. If he gave birth to a son, all the dethronement of Ling Ji and Ling Yao would be in vain, and it would be a great threat to her Yan'er.

She never believed the ridiculous statement that Ling Heng only wanted to be an idle prince and had no interest in the throne. Anyone with royal blood in their bones would yearn for that position.

Those people were deceived by Ling Heng's appearance!

Although Li Shuangwan sneered in her heart, she still kept a shy smile on her face. She knew that this "child" meant a lot to Ling Heng. Unfortunately, he would never get what he wanted.

And knowing that he had obtained it but lost it in the end, and that he could not save his beloved woman and child, Ling Heng would go crazy.

Her eyes swept over everyone present. She saw the frozen smile on Concubine Duan's face, Concubine Wan Shu's anger, Ling Shijiang's disappointment, and the various expressions of the other concubines in the harem, and remembered them all in her heart.

Ling Heng excitedly held her hand, and she gently pulled it out and said softly, "Your Highness, I am a little tired and want to go back home first."

Ling Heng nodded immediately and asked Emperor Jingzhang for instructions: "Father, Ah Wan is weak. I want to take her back to rest first."

Emperor Jingzhang looked around at the crowd of people. How could he disagree? He then said to Huang Sheng, "Doctor Huang, since you diagnosed the baby in Princess Heng's belly, I'll leave it to you. My dear, please make sure she and the baby are safe."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Ling Heng nervously helped Li Shuangwan up: "Ah Wan, I'll help you go back."

Li Shuangwan let Ling Heng support her as she walked out of the palace, but she was thinking about Gu Xingyan in her heart.

The extreme uneasiness slowly welled up in my heart. It had been more than ten days and there had been no news from Shu Wenbo. I wondered if he had returned to Sijiu City safely.

When Ling Heng saw this, he thought she was not feeling well and comforted her, "Ah Wan, don't be afraid. I'll take care of everything."

"Not afraid."

She would give him a blow on the head.

Arriving at Prince Heng's mansion, Ling Heng carefully supported Li Shuangwan and personally sent her back to Le Xiaoyuan's room: "Ah Wan, you should have a good rest. I will go see Doctor Huang again. Your health is no different from others, and I am always worried."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly: "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Heng strode away. He looked so anxious that Li Shuangwan didn't believe that he was going to tell Chun Ning's mother the "good news".

When he looked up, he saw that although Roman was happy, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. He smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't worry, I'm fine."

Luo Man squatted down, looked into Li Shuangwan's eyes, and gradually smiled: "Well, the princess is very good, and I am happy. I will definitely protect you and the little prince in your belly."

Li Shuangwan gently rubbed Roman's head. There was nothing she could do. There were some things she could let Yizhu know but couldn't let her know.

When she was the only one left in the room, Li Shuangwan took out the pill that Yang Luo had given her from the secret compartment under the bed.

This medicine can remove the remaining poison in her body. In addition, she has been practicing martial arts without slacking off during this period of time, so it can help her recover her strength quickly.

She has been waiting for this opportunity today.

Now, Huang Sheng has confirmed that she is pregnant. The pulse of a pregnant woman is more or less different from that of an ordinary person, so Huang Sheng would not be able to detect anything even if she takes the medicine.

Ling Heng came out of Le Xiao and returned to his study.

Sipo: "My Lord, is the princess really pregnant?"

"Huang Sheng's pulse diagnosis cannot be wrong."

"Great! Now the young master is saved."

Ling Heng was in a very good mood: "You should deal with that substitute tonight. Li Shuangwan is pregnant, so we can't keep this person."

Sipo did not respond immediately, but lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Ling Heng glanced at him coldly: "Then there is no need to talk about it."

"Your Highness, I have observed that Shadow during this period of time. He is very skilled in martial arts, the best among all the secret guards we have trained. He is also good at ventriloquism, and his figure is very similar to yours. It would be a pity to kill such a person like this."

Ling Heng sat on the chair, leaned back, and looked at Si Po: "Go on."

"I have a pill in my hand. If you take it, all your past and future will be gone."

Ling Heng's eyes lit up and he sat up straight: "Is there really such a good thing?"

"It's true."

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take care of it."

Ling Heng couldn't wait to meet Li Shuangzhi. He wanted to tell her the good news.

Seeing the maid supporting her while she vomited, he felt so distressed that he patted her back gently and brought her some clean water to rinse her mouth.

"Zhi'er, our child is saved."

Li Shuangzhi suddenly felt better and stared at Ling Heng with bright eyes: "Your Highness, what did you say?"

Ling Heng gently held her in his arms: "Li Shuangwan is pregnant. Huang Sheng confirmed it himself. There is no doubt about it. Zhier, after three months of hardship, our child can finally be saved."

Li Shuangzhi was so happy that she burst into tears. She placed her hands gently on her slightly bulging belly and said, "Son, did you hear me? Your father will not let anything happen to you. You should be well and grow up safely."

Ling Heng choked up and hugged her even tighter, hating the Li family's second branch and Zhu shi even more in his heart.

……

Two days later, Shu Wenbo entered Li Shuangwan's room through the secret passage.

Li Shuangwan asked hurriedly: "Have you received any news from him? Has he arrived in Sijiu City?"

Shu Wenbo shook his head: "Ninth brother is worried that there are people from Concubine Chen in our intelligence network in Northern Jin, so if everything goes well, there will be no letter sent."

Li Shuangwan finally let go of the anxiety in his heart. Without a letter, that meant Gu Xingyan was safe.

"Miss Li, just as you expected, after you became pregnant, Sipo came out of Ling Heng's study and fed the medicine to the person we prepared. But today, after Ling Heng came out of the palace, when it was dark, Sipo secretly killed the person and threw him into the mass grave."

Li Shuangwan received news from Shu Wenbo the day before yesterday that the death row prisoner they had been preparing for had finally arrived.

“Can that person be trusted?”

Shu Wenbo nodded: "It's true. He committed a serious crime. Logically, his wife and children should be executed as well, but Brother Nine saved his family and sent them a sum of money. I was watching in secret, and he didn't reveal a word, and he didn't know anything about us."
