This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Zhuo Ying's doubts were quickly answered.

More than half a month after Xing Chenxiu and Wei Yan got married, Xing Chenmu received a secret letter from the General's Mansion that Xing Chenxiu was pregnant.

This matter is still hidden from Wei Yan, but the news was passed to Xing Chenmu through the Shadow Guards. On Zhuo Ying's side, Xing Chenmu didn't want to hide it anymore. He held Zhuo Ying in his arms and explained to him carefully that Xing Chenxiu borrowed medicine The matter of getting herself pregnant, and Xing Chenxiu's future plans.

After hearing this, Zhuo Ying didn't know what to say for a while, she admired and envied Xing Chenxiu's courageous approach.

Xing Chenmu knew Zhuo Ying too well, and upon seeing his expression, he immediately asked, "A Ying, you already knew?"

Zhuo Ying had no choice but to say: "When I met Lord Hou in the hunting ground, I asked him why he later agreed to their marriage. It was Lord Hou who told me about Brother Wang's plan."

Xing Chenmu squinted his eyes, and didn't ask why he never mentioned it to himself, but immediately thought of another matter: "So your participation in the competition at that time was related to this matter?"

Zhuo Ying guessed that Xing Chenxiu's plan was actually much earlier than Autumn Hunting, and Xiang Weilin learned about it at the end of Autumn Hunting, but there was obviously no need to explain these, so he nodded directly: "Yes, I What I want is—"

Before the words came out, Xing Chenmu had already sealed his lips with a kiss.

Xing Chenmu held his cheeks, knocked his teeth open with the tip of his tongue, did not give him any chance to speak, and eagerly licked/licked his mouth.

When they parted, Xing Chenmu pressed his forehead against the side of his neck, and said a little anxiously: "Aying, don't say it... I don't want to break my promise to you, but I can't agree to this only thing."

"But Mu'er, I also want to—"

The kiss fell again, Xing Chenmu supported Zhuo Ying's buttocks and hugged him up, and walked towards the soft couch on the other side of the screen. During this time, their lips did not separate until Zhuo Ying felt that his back was pressed against the soft couch , Xing Chenmu's kiss gradually moved down...

......

It was not until late at night that Xing Chenmu carried Zhuo Ying out of Xuanming Hall.

Zhuo Ying also understood Xing Chenmu's attitude completely, and said with a blushing face, "Put me down, I'll go by myself."

With Xing Chenmu holding him like this, wouldn't anyone be able to see what the two of them did in Xuanming Palace?

"Oh? Ah Ying still has the strength to walk?" Xing Chenmu did not put him down, but kissed him again, "It seems that we can continue when we go back."

Zhuo Ying is a martial arts practitioner, no matter in physical strength or other aspects, he is naturally very comparable to others. Except for the first few times when he is not used to it, it is actually more enjoyable than tiring for him to do it afterwards, but he would never say that. I will not tell Xing Chenmu directly.

Firstly, he really couldn't say it, and secondly, now that Xing Chenmu cared about his body, he would restrain himself a little bit. If Xing Chenmu knew the truth, he would inevitably indulge in sex in the future, which is a big taboo for the emperor.

Xing Chenmu didn't want to let him go, so Zhuo Ying had no choice but to let him go, until he sat in the dragon chariot, Xing Chenmu put away his joking appearance, and said seriously: "Aying, don't be angry with me, except for the matter of having a child, the rest I can do whatever you want."

"How could I be willing to be angry with you..." Zhuo Ying sighed, leaning her head on Xing Chenmu's shoulder.

After that, Zhuo Yingzhen never mentioned half a word to Xing Chenmu about the matter of having a child.

On the day of Xing Chenmu's birthday, Zhuo Ying's paperweight had already been carved. This time, Xing Chenmu watched the whole carving process. He took the paperweight from Zhuo Ying and placed it on the table, right next to the original one. .

"Thank you, Ah Ying." He took Zhuo Ying's hand and kissed it, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I didn't even have a chance to prepare a gift for you."

Zhuo Ying is an orphan, he doesn't know who his parents are, let alone his date of birth.

But Xing Chenmu's words sounded funny to his ears, and he scratched his fingertips on Xing Chenmu's palm: "Mu'er didn't have a chance to prepare a gift for me? You gave me a wishful jade last month, saying it was for safety, come on." You personally drew the picture of Chuxue and presented it to me last month, and now at least half of the birthday presents that came from various places are placed in Mingying Palace."

"How can it be the same? You have carved this paperweight for a whole three months, and the meaning of it is beyond the reach of those trivial things."

Xing Chenmu always felt that he could give Zhuo Ying too little, but for Zhuo Ying, the other party had already given him everything, he turned back and hugged Xing Chenmu, and was about to end this topic when he suddenly remembered something and said softly: " But I do have a gift that I really want."

Xing Chenmu immediately asked: "What does Ah Ying want?"

Zhuo Ying paused, then looked at Xing Chenmu: "I want a child of Mu'er."

"I said that only this is not enough." Xing Chenmu avoided his gaze, and asked again, "Is it not enough for Ah Ying to have me?"

"Mu'er...it's not that dangerous, otherwise Brother Wang wouldn't try it, you really don't need to worry too much." Zhuo Ying tried to persuade Xing Chenmu.

Xing Chenmu's attitude was extremely firm: "If there is really no danger at all, why would Brother Wang not dare to tell Wei Yan? Aying, don't even think about it. I, Xing Chenmu, have you alone in this life. I don't need children. I don't need children. You don't want another person to take your attention away."

Xing Chenmu's words were even a bit sour, and after finishing speaking, he hugged Zhuo Ying aggrievedly, softened his attitude and said, "A Ying, we don't want a child, okay?"

Facing Xing Chenmu like this, Zhuo Ying couldn't say anything bad, he patted Xing Chenmu on the back, and said helplessly: "How will you explain to the courtiers and the people in the future?"

"There's always a way."

At this point, Zhuo Ying didn't know how to continue, and the matter was left alone.

This year's Longevity Festival Xing Chenmu still didn't do too extravagantly, he just took Zhuo Ying to Zhengquan Palace to attend the queen mother's banquet.

Besides them, the Queen Mother also invited Xing Chenxiu, Wei Yan, and Lu Xian who had been transferred to the Jinwei Army. Xing Chenmu obviously preferred such a simple family banquet to the grand celebration inside and outside the palace.

It was the season when wintersweet bloomed, so the Empress Dowager ordered someone to go to the imperial garden early in the morning to select a few that bloomed particularly well, cut them off and put them into the white jade bottle, and the whole Zhengquan Palace was filled with a faint fragrance.

Whether it was Wei Yan or Zhuo Ying, since the queen mother agreed to the marriage, she really treated them as half sons and did not make things difficult for them any more.

The meal was warm and comfortable, and after the meal, several of them talked with the Queen Mother about the homework, and then they left.

Xing Chenxiu was pregnant not long ago, and there was nothing unusual about wearing heavy clothes. Today, with Wei Yan by his side, neither the Queen Mother nor Xing Chenmu could ask more questions.

It's just that Xing Chenmu never expected that when he saw Xing Chenxiu next year, the other party would be thinner, and even look very poor in spirit, with a tired face.

After the Wanshou Festival is New Year's Eve, Xing Chenmu hosted a banquet in the Palace of Preserving Harmony in honor of the important officials of the court, and Xing Chenxiu, who is the assistant king, was naturally also invited.

Xing Chenmu clearly remembered that on New Year's Eve, Xing Chenxiu looked as if everything was normal. On the first day of the new year, the morning court was suspended as usual, and when the morning court resumed, he noticed that Xing Chenxiu was in a different state.

After the morning court, Xing Chenmu announced Xing Chenxiu to Xuanming Hall, and after questioning, he found out that Xing Chenxiu had already talked to Wei Yan about having a child. Wei Yan was very excited and did not agree to let Xing Chenxiu take the medicine.

"So you didn't say anything in the end?" In the imperial study room, after listening to Xing Chenxiu's retelling, Xing Chenmu raised his head from the pile of memorials, "But Brother Wang, this matter... can be kept secret for a while. But for the rest of my life, Wei Yan will know sooner or later."

"Then I have to wait until I give birth safely. Even if Ah Yan blames me for concealing it, at least I don't have to worry about it anymore." Wei Yan would object. In fact, several people had already expected it, but Xing Chenxiu didn't expect Wei Yan's reaction. It will be so intense that he has been worrying about it for the past few days.

Although the medicine was made by Hua Xin, Hua Xin was willing to let Xing Chenxiu take it, which meant that he was at least [-]% sure to guarantee Xing Chenxiu's safety, but after all, it was a man who gave birth. won't believe it.

Now that he has taken the medicine and the child is already in his womb, the only way he can think of is to ask Xing Chenmu to find an excuse to transfer Wei Yan away from Luan City as soon as possible until he gives birth to an heir.

But what is the reason to dismiss Wei Yan logically without arousing his suspicion? On this point, neither Xing Chenmu nor Xing Chenxiu had a clue.

The matter fell into a bottleneck again and could not continue.

Wei Yan was on duty today, so he couldn't go back home with Xing Chenxiu, and Xing Chenxiu's condition was really bad, so Xing Chenmu was worried, so he asked Zhuo Ying to send him back to the palace.

It is not appropriate for too many people to know about Xing Chenxiu's pregnancy, so it is inconvenient to find other shadow guards, so Zhuo Ying agreed after thinking about it.

On the way back to the General's Mansion, Zhuo Ying hesitated again and again, but still asked: "Brother Wang, can you give me some of the medicine for giving birth."

Xing Chenxiu immediately understood what he wanted to do, but persuaded him: "Zhuo Ying, this is a matter between you and Mu'er, you should discuss it, don't imitate me, look at me now... I really don't want you to follow in my footsteps."

After several contacts in recent times, the relationship between the two of them is no longer so estranged, so Zhuo Ying told Xing Chenxiu that he had repeatedly communicated with Xing Chenmu to no avail.

"I guess it's the same. Mu'er will never love you less than Ayan has for me." Xing Chenxiu shook his head without knowing what he thought of, "I can understand your feelings, but you don't actually want Mu'er's child. Don't be in a hurry for this moment, you might as well talk to him carefully, if it's really not possible, I'll persuade you later, but don't be as impulsive as I am."

Judging from Xing Chenmu's attitude that day, it was impossible for him to change his mind in the short term, but Zhuo Ying did not want to give up at all, and he knew in his heart that what Xing Chenxiu said was reasonable, but if he continued like this, when would he have to wait?

The General's Mansion is not far from the imperial palace, and it is almost here, Xing Chenxiu saw that Zhuo Ying was silent, and said: "Anyway, I can't give you this medicine, if you really discuss it with Mu'er, let Mu'er come and get it from me Bar."
