Mistress of the Mysterious Inn - C209
Ling Chaofeng did not say a word and directly took the Xiaowan’s pulse. Her wife’s pulse was indeed somewhat delicate, but with his experience, he was not able to say why.
Very quickly, the doctors under Wei Tengfei and the imperial physician who had accompanied him to the Imperial Palace arrived. The Xiaowan was actually a little scared and said weakly to Ling Chaofeng: “Master, I’m fine, I don’t want to see a doctor.”
“I’m here.” Ling Chaofeng appeased the Xiaowan, and asked the two doctors to take his pulse.
After they touched young lady’s pulse, they discussed for a while, then asked Xiaowan some questions. All the way until they asked: “Madam, when was the last time you wrote a letter?”
Xiaowan did not understand, Ling Chaofeng whispered into her ear, then understood what the doctor meant. He tried counting with his fingers, but she could not remember.
She had been out running all day and had only rested at home for a few days. She had really gone up to the sea and had been busy from morning to night. She had forgotten about it, but she vaguely remembered the day when she was at home again.
The doctor then asked, “Have you had any matters to attend to these past few days?”
Xiaowan was embarrassed to the point that her face was flushed red, she did not know how to reply, but Ling Chaofeng said generously, “I have done this many times.”
In front of a doctor, no one would care if he was shy. After the two discussed with each other, they smiled and said to the couple: “young lady might be happy, but the days are not long and my pulse is still weak. If he is really pregnant, he will be able to feel it in ten days or half a month. ”
Ling Chaofeng looked at the doctor blankly, then asked: “How serious is it now?”
The doctor laughed, “Seventy to eighty. If it’s the Inner Palace Doctor Jin, they would be more adept. One of us is here to accompany the army while the other is here to manage the emergency situation. It doesn’t seem right.”
Ling Chaofeng’s heart skipped a beat as he sent the two doctors out. When he looked back, he saw Xiaowan standing there dumbly with a face full of anxiety, as if she had done something wrong. His heart immediately softened as she leaned on the bedside and asked, “What are you daydreaming for?”
“Husband, I …” Xiaowan regained his senses, lowered his head and looked at his stomach, then looked at his husband, his eyes gradually becoming moist, his voice choked with sobs, “Husband, is what the doctor said true?”
“When we get home, the time will be right. There will be a definite number then.” Ling Chaofeng held her hand and kissed it again and again, but the truth was that he couldn’t hide the excitement on his face.
He had to consider whether or not he could achieve true results in half a month. If not, the excitement he felt right now would become a burden for the Xiaowan. He was not in a hurry to have children, and was even more reluctant to have any children.
“If not, then what about me?” Xiaowan asked her husband. Her soft hands trembled as she caressed his cheeks, “Husband, are you unhappy?”
“If that’s not the case, then it’s eating too much, gluttonous cat.” Ling Chaofeng stood up and hugged Xiaowan, “If it’s not for that, don’t be sad, let’s go home and work hard, at that time you are not allowed to beg for forgiveness.”
Xiaowan moaned softly and buried her face in his chest: “When did you ever beg for mercy? “The worst person is Hubby.”
Ling Chaofeng was unwilling to let go, and wished that he could kiss Xiaowan’s entire body. His surging emotions and excitement in his heart surpassed everything he had experienced in the past few days, and he didn’t know how to describe his happiness. But if it was just the Xiaowan being full, then it was nothing, it was just experiencing this excitement and joy ahead of time.
At the moment, the Xiluo army had yet to leave, and the emperor and the General Wei still had many important matters to attend to. The high officials and officials accompanying them, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers, compared to all of these, the Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng were insignificant. They were happy, but that was their business.
As a result, it did not cause much of a commotion, but Hanxi understood that being pregnant at the beginning was not a good idea to brag about it, and he was happy with the Xiaowan in private.
After working busily for three whole days, it was finally the time for the Xiluo people to leave the Daqi.
Furthermore, during the storm, not only had they lost their gunpowder cannons, their rations and water had also sunk into the sea. In order to ensure their successful return to the Xiluo, the Emperor of Daqi had generously provided all the assistance they could.
Looking at the military ships of the Xiluo, which were moving away from the coast in a well-trained manner, the emperor frowned. If not for the storm, what would it be like now?
Could it be that their cannons would be able to bombard the shore, cause these tall soldiers to rush inland, and stop the Daqi’s troops?
Prince Haas was about to board the boat and leave. He covered his chest with one hand and bowed to Xiang Run.
He loved the culture of the Daqi and admired all the legends on this land. However, after expressing all of these, his expression became solemn and solemn: “Your Majesty, the people of Xiluo will take everything they like and own it. The next time I come, I will bring along the strongest battleship and warrior of the Xiluo.”
Xiang Run gave a cold and majestic laugh, “Finally, take a good look at my Daqi and scenery. After all, you will never be able to see them again in your entire life.”
The fleet slowly moved away from the territory of the Daqi, and watched as the black figure disappeared into the horizon. Xiang Run retracted his gaze, looked at everyone on the beach, and ordered Wei Tengfei in a loud voice, “Summon the troops.”
Xiaowan and Hanxi could hear it from the camp, and the thick roars shook their hearts. Hanxi stood in front of the door and looked in the direction of the beach, pricking up her ears, as if she was trying to find Wei Tengfei’s voice.
The Xiaowan packed her things silently. She did not bring anything when she came, but now that she was leaving, she brought along gifts from the locals, from the Empress and Hanxi. She did not find any trouble with them, as every single one of them was precious. She even calculated that after she returned, she would give them to Susu as a gift to the Aunt Zhang.
And … If you have a little girl in your belly, you should prepare a dowry for your daughter. The Xiaowan unknowingly started to laugh. He rubbed his stomach, if he was a little brother, Little Pei would be happy, but before he went out, he shouted for a little brother.
However, Xiaowan’s heart sank. Little Pei knew that he wasn’t Ling Chaofeng’s child, and understood where his mother came from. Now that they had their own flesh and blood, would Little Pei feel uncomfortable?
Although it was unfair to her child to think of it like that, if the new child would cause Little Pei to be harmed, she would rather live her entire life. As long as Little Pei was here, it would be fine to say that he had not come before.
“Baby, if you really come, you have to love big brother, big brother will love you too.” Xiaowan secretly thought, but suddenly there was a loud sound that shook the earth, causing it to shake. Xiaowan was shocked, but Hanxi said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, they fired the cannons over there.”
After the beach was lit, the smoke gradually dispersed. The emperor and his queen slowly walked along the coastal beach.
There were still traces of the Xiluo warships left there, and every single trace was a reminder to Xiang Run that he mustn’t act complacently and forget his previous self. It was still far too early for the Daqi to truly become the overlord of this continent.
“It is my good fortune that the battle didn’t start this time. Otherwise, I would have lost miserably.” The emperor held his wife’s hand and looked out to sea and took a deep breath.
The waves lapped against the shore fiercely, covering the empress’s legs, the emperor’s dragon robe, and the empress’s skirt all became wet.
The seemingly gentle sea water had boundless power. The sand under their feet was quickly carried away by the sea water. Anyone who lost a bit of self-control would feel as if their feet would be taken away together with them.
The instant they felt the fear of being swallowed up by the sea was something they had never felt before.
“Your Majesty …” Siyan was a little afraid and wanted to pull her husband back a little, but the emperor just stood there majestically, again and again, feeling the power of the waves hitting the shore.
On the other side, Ling Chaofeng followed Wei Tengfei up. Seeing the Empress standing on the beach and letting the waves splash onto her body, the two of them looked at each other for a moment before they quickened their pace and walked over.
When Xiang Run saw them, he finally returned to the shore with the Queen. The Palace Maid quickly gathered the Empress and left.
Wei Tengfei and Ling Chaofeng bowed towards the emperor, who looked at Ling Chaofeng and said, “Oh yes, I heard that Manager Ling’s wife is pregnant? Congratulations. ”
“Thank you, your majesty!” Ling Chaofeng said.
“However, I will not be courteous to you.” The Emperor said, “If I want to build a strong defense of the sea, it will cost me countless gold and silver. Although the treasury is abundant, I can’t place all of it at the seaside. Ling Chaofeng, the imperial government and I really need you. ”
“It is this subject’s honor to be able to share his worries with the Emperor.” Ling Chaofeng said, “This commoner will do his best.”
The emperor nodded. He then looked at Wei Tengfei and sighed softly, “How should I punish you? How about this, with the establishment of the maritime defense as the deadline, we will be satisfied one day, and marry Bi Hanxi off to you.”
Wei Tengfei looked at the emperor with a face full of shock, but still managed to get his brother-in-law to laugh loudly, signaling them to stand up.
Xiang Run faced the ocean with his hands behind his back, pointed at the blue ocean surface, and said to them: “We will come here again next time, to see my Daqi’s warship, fill up this ocean surface.”
“Yes …” Wei Tengfei’s voice was like a bell as he agreed.
Three days later, the emperor brought the empress to investigate the affairs of the people, asking about the local fisheries and even conducting a few cases of wrongdoing. Three days later, the emperor was about to return to the capital.
Wei Tengfei did not receive any punishment, the Emperor said that if a general who knocked down a Xiluo warrior was to receive any punishment, who would be willing to defend their country? Before he left, he married Wei Tengfei and Bi Hanxi together with the Queen. Even though they have not held an official wedding ceremony, they are already husband and wife in reality.
Naturally, when the Empress left, the Xiaowan and Ling Chaofeng had to leave as well. The Queen knew that the Xiaowan might be pregnant, so she brought her along.
On the day of their departure, Hanxi, her brother and the Xiaowan parted ways. They stood by the shore and waved continuously, until the Empress brought the Xiaowan into the cabin.
“You’re not crying?” Wei Tengfei looked at Hanxi and laughed, “Why aren’t you crying today?”
Speaking of which, these past few days, they actually did not have a day where they could speak properly in private. They had been tormenting themselves until this moment, where they even drank their wine in front of the empress.
“Because you don’t like me to cry.” Hanxi looked at her husband weakly, “If I follow you, I won’t shed tears anymore.”
