Chapter 179: Don’t treat him as an outsider
Bai Xin took care of Mu Wanning for a full month before her fetus was completely stable and growing healthily. Mu Wanning and Ling Rui were happy but also a little worried.
"Yuexin, will the child be born with heart disease like Brother Rui?" Mu Wanning couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, Madam. The child is very healthy now. It's possible that the gene is inherited, but it's not certain. But the child is already in your belly, so don't worry! Of course, the decision is up to you."
"No matter what, I will never abandon my child!" Mu Wanning said firmly. Since there is hope, how could she bear to give up.
Bai Xinxin sighed and hoped that God would bless her.
"The army has arrived in Songyang County. They will probably return to the city in two or three days!"
When Li Ze saw Bai Xin coming out, he walked up to her and told her the letter sent by Ye Qi.
"Well, it's just that Mu Wanning won't be discharged from the hospital for another week, so I can't go to Songyang County to meet him!"
Mu Wanning is a little emotionally unstable now and her pregnancy is not even three months complete, so she can only stay here with her.
That night, Bai Xin returned to the laboratory after a busy day. After washing up, she lay down on her bed. When she was about to fall asleep, she felt someone lying in her bed, hugging her from behind, and his hands had already restlessly reached into her nightgown.
"You're back!?"
Bai Xin turned around, opened her sleepy eyes, hugged his face, and asked in surprise.
"Hmph!" Ye Qi just snorted in dissatisfaction, and continued to grope in his hands.
"Didn't you just arrive in Songyang County?"
Bai Xin ignored his little arrogance, held his bearded face, kissed him and asked.
"Humph!"
Ye Qi still snorted proudly, but after being kissed so gently by her twice, he had already forgotten his anger.
He looked up at Bai Xin. He had quickened his pace, but it still took him a month to get back. Not being able to see her for a month really drove him crazy.
He didn't feel it when he was fighting, but on the way back, he hoped every day that she would be busy and come to meet him. Who would have thought that when they arrived in Songyang County, the letters she sent said that she was busy and couldn't get away. The closer they were, the more he couldn't wait, so he took the rifle and Mo Tianxian and rode back quickly. He planned to stick to her in the clinic, be lazy for two days, and go back when the army reached the camp outside the city.
"Little liar!"
Ye Qi cursed lightly in dissatisfaction, then leaned over reluctantly and gave her a light kiss.
"Ye Qi, I miss you too!"
Bai Xin put her hands on his shoulders, looked at him and spoke softly.
"Well..., don't leave me for so long in the future!"
Ye Qi looked at her with eyes full of affection, seeking her assurance.
"it is good!"
He answered affirmatively, but his voice trembled slightly.
She pulled him down and kissed him proactively to prevent him from seeing the sadness in her eyes.
Her heart ached slightly, and she wondered whether she should say goodbye to him properly when the time came.
On the second day, Ye Qi appeared in everyone's surprised eyes. Wherever Bai Xin went, Ye Qi followed closely, even his rifle had to stand aside. If it weren't for Mu Wanning's inspection that did not allow men to follow, Ye Qi would not have planned to let Bai Xin go alone.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Ye Qi and Ling Ruixing, who were waiting outside the door, bowed and saluted.
"General Ye is here now. If His Majesty knew, he would probably punish you!" Ling Rui looked at him, chuckled and said with a hint of doting in his tone.
"If Your Highness can keep this a secret for me, I will be among the troops returning to the city in two days."
Ye Qi replied calmly, yet with an air of arrogance as if he was being spoiled.
"Of course, it's inappropriate for both of us to be here, and we have never met each other!" Ling Rui said with a smile.
The two of them can be considered as brothers in distress who deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates.
"Hmm!" Ye Qi responded lightly as an answer.
"General Ye is still so frugal with his words!" Ling Rui said with a helpless smile.
"Yes!" Ye Qi responded lightly and had nothing else to say.
Just when the two were feeling awkward, Bai Xin and Xiang Cheng supported Mu Wanning and led Xier and Miner out of Mu Wanning's room. The moment Ye Qi saw Bai Xin, his eyes lit up and he went straight to greet her.
Bai Xin was left speechless by this clingy guy. She just glanced at him and then looked at Ling Rui and said.
"Your Highness, the queen's health has recovered and the fetus is stable. Your Highness can rest assured!"
"That's great, thank you for your hard work!" Ling Rui said with a smile.
After listening to Bai Xin's conversation, Ye Qi glanced at Bai Xin's stomach with a somewhat unclear expression, and then returned to normal.
"But the fact that the East Palace has an heir is a matter of national importance. It must be reported to His Majesty and the Queen, and announced to the world. I wonder how you plan to deal with it, Your Highness?"
Bai Xin brought a few people to the courtyard, sat in the pavilion in the yard, and discussed while eating tea and snacks.
"Your Highness, I still want to keep it a secret for a while longer!" Mu Wanning said anxiously. The fact that the East Palace was in trouble gave many people hope, but they were not in a hurry.
If people knew that the Eastern Palace had an heir, their hopes would be dashed. They might even go desperate and put the child in danger.
"Well, I don't want to announce it to the world too early!" Ling Rui also frowned and said.
Just because he was weak and was named the crown prince by his father since childhood, he became the target of public criticism.
"You can report to His Majesty later!" Ye Qi, who was usually a man of few words, looked at Ling Rui and said.
Ling Rui looked at him with some confusion.
"In two days, the eldest prince of Xichang and the King of Nanliang will be brought to the capital. By then, Your Majesty will be busy dealing with the Emperor of Xichang and will have no time to take care of other things!" Ye Qi said in a light tone.
"That's true!" Bai Xin also echoed.
"Now, thank you for your hard work!" Ling Hao said gratefully, "Of course I will give you a reward, but what else do you want?"
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do!" Bai Xin also said politely.
"Yuexin, you don't have to be so unfamiliar with us!" Mu Wanning said, holding her hand.
"Then Your Highness, after I return to the palace to report on my work, please say a few good words for me and allow me to have a longer rest time as a reward!" Ye Qi was very embarrassed to make a direct request to Ling Rui.
"Of course you can!" Ling Rui was stunned when he heard that, then agreed with a smile.
It seemed that he didn't treat him as an outsider.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ye Qi just bowed his hands to show his gratitude.
Bai Xin looked at him helplessly. This guy was crazy about taking a vacation.
Ye Qi stayed in the clinic for two days. As soon as the army arrived outside the city, he took Bai Xin to the camp, preparing to pretend to lead the soldiers back to Kyoto together.
Since the Ye family army won the battle, captured the eldest prince and the King of Southern Liang, and seized two cities, Ye Qi became the god of war in the dome for a while. When the Ye family army returned to the city, the people in the city all went out to greet them, how majestic.
"The carriage behind the general is his wife, right?"
"The general brought her with him when he went to war, so she must be as beautiful as a fairy!"
Everyone who came to greet them was very curious about Bai Xin in the carriage, and they were whispering to each other while welcoming the Ye family army.
Bai Xin was in low spirits in the carriage. Originally, she didn't want to follow him, but he said that he didn't go to pick her up in person on their wedding day. Now that they were returning to the city, she had to follow him and announce to the world that she was his wife.
“Ah Xin…!”
Finally the noise on the street disappeared, and Bai Xin thought they had arrived at the mansion. She heard a clear and familiar voice.
