It was at this time that Zhu Yue truly felt that she was alive again.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Xiao Jingzheng held Xie Ru's hand, feeling heartbroken.

Xie Ru was brought up in a pampered family, so even if she just held the knife handle, the skin on her palms was rubbed raw, which was very distressing to see.

"Are you stupid? Why are you waiting here instead of running away? What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Jingzheng blew gently on her palm, with a tenderness in his eyes that could not be melted.

Xie Ru looked at his eyes and was moved. Before, she had just kept her distance from this man and had never had any illusions about him. But when that moment really came, she realized that she seemed to have no way to really abandon this man and leave.

"Because I can't bear to leave you behind. I want to be with you, regardless of life or death."

Xie Ru leaned on his chest and smiled softly.

This was the first time in Xiao Jingzheng's life that he felt the love between a man and a woman. This kind of thing is hard to explain, but it can give people a lot of courage.

"Before, I always blamed my mother for following my father and leaving us all behind. Now I am afraid I understand that every day that my mother lived at that time must have been painful."

"She loves the emperor so much, how could she bear to be separated from him?"

Xiao Jingzheng hugged her and spoke softly to her.

"Yes, my mother loves my father very much, just like I love you very much, and I can't bear to leave you either."

As she spoke, Xie Ru took his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.

"Your Majesty, you know, the imperial physician told me today that I am pregnant and you are going to be a father."

what?

Xiao Jingzheng looked at the woman in his arms in disbelief for a long time before coming to his senses: "What did you say? You said you had a child, and we are going to have a child?"

"Yes, I want to be a mother, and you are going to be a father. Your Majesty, let's raise this child well and love him well, okay?" Xie Ru looked at his silly look and smiled gently.

"Okay, great, I want this child to be the crown prince, and I want to give him all this vast territory!" Xiao Jingzheng immediately grabbed Xie Ru's hand and gently kissed her forehead: "You are awesome, Ru'er, you are awesome."

Xie Ru blushed, lowered her head, and whispered, "It's not me who is great, it's the Emperor who is great."

"Yes, yes, I am the one who is awesome, no, we are all awesome!" Xiao Jingzheng was so happy that he danced with joy like a child.

But Xie Ru was not simply happy in her heart, because she had been trained to be the mistress of the house since she was a child. In ordinary wealthy families, if the wife was pregnant, they would also arrange for concubines to serve the husband.

Originally, Xie Ru was used to this kind of thing, but now, she was reluctant to push Xiao Jingzheng away and give him to someone else.

But she is the queen, she cannot monopolize someone, especially when that person is the emperor. She is the queen, so she should be a role model for women in the world and should be open and honest.

She originally thought this was the simplest thing, but now that it has come to this, she realized that it is not that easy.

Xiao Jingzheng was so excited that he didn't realize what Xie Ru was thinking. He hugged Xie Ru and felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

Soon, Xiao Jingzheng began to purge the court. He spent every day in the imperial study dealing with memorials, and he lost a lot of weight.

At this time, unrest broke out in Jiangnan because after Qin Bian arrived there, he proclaimed himself king. There was no army in Jiangnan, only major aristocratic families. It was originally a paradise, but now it was made into a mess by Qin Bian.

The key point is that Qin Bi'an has now blocked all routes in and out of Jiangnan and is determined to enclose land and establish his own rule, which is simply treason.

Xiao Jingzheng has been troubled by this matter for several days. If he sends people to fight over there, it will be a waste of money and manpower. The key point is that the situation in Jiangnan is very complicated, and those aristocratic families are very powerful. If he can't get the support of these aristocratic families, even if they really put their troops at the gates, they will not be able to really take back Jiangnan.

Seeing that he couldn't eat or sleep well because of this matter, Xie Ru became anxious, so she sent a message to Xie Rong outside the palace, saying that she wanted Zhu Yue to come back and take a look.

These days, Zhu Yue has been accompanying Qin Yan. The two of them eat and drink outside during the day, and stay at home together at night. However, they have not yet gotten married, so they are just being affectionate and have not really done anything out of line. Even so, both of them feel unprecedented ease and happiness.

Xie Rong stood at the door and waited for a long time before she saw the two people walking home with bags, each smiling like a flower.

Zhu Yue, in particular, looked bright and cheerful, making people extremely envious. When Xie Rong saw Qin Yan, she even doubted her own eyes, because she had never seen Qin Yan smiling so happily before. It was as if he had become a different person.

"Rong'er, why are you here?" Zhu Yue was a little surprised to see Xie Rong. She gave everything in her hand to Qin Yan and walked towards her.

At this time, Xie Rong clearly felt Qin Yan glaring at her fiercely. She felt confused, but still pulled Zhu Yue aside.

"Sister said that the emperor has been very worried about Qin Bian's self-declaration of king in Jiangnan these days. He said that he hasn't eaten well for several days. I want you to go back and take a look."

"I'm not a royal doctor. If I check him, will he eat well?"

Zhu Yue rolled her eyes. This child really hasn't made any progress in all these years. He has been like this since he was young. Whenever he encounters any problems, he will refuse to eat, drink or sleep. If he continues like this, how can he live a hundred years?

Seeing Zhu Yue's angry look, Xie Rong was a little puzzled, but still asked: "Then are you going back?"

"Well, let's go now. You come with me." Zhu Yue nodded directly, took Xie Rong's hand, turned around and waved to Qin Yan: "I'll go back to the palace first, you go home!"

After saying that, he took Xie Rong and left.

Is this... too hasty?

Xie Rong looked at Zhu Yue in disbelief and whispered, "No, you just dragged me away like that, aren't you afraid that the young elder will be angry?"

"Didn't you say that your sister was extremely worried?" Zhu Yue smiled: "Besides, he won't be angry. Look how cute he is now!"

cute?

Xie Rong looked back quietly again, but she really couldn't tell where the word "cute" was written on that dead face.

"Let me tell you, this young cabinet minister has never had a woman by his side at his age. Don't be fooled by him. Several of us have privately suspected that he is a homosexual." Xie Rong was still a little worried, so she pulled Zhu Yue's arm and reminded him softly.
