Hu Yue 'er is pregnant?
Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have heard a big joke. Mo Rongzhan had never touched Hu Yue 'er. How could she have a child?
Zhao Ning saw Ye Zhen's expression in her eyes and knew that she was completely ignorant. "Your Highness, don't you know?"
"What do I need to know?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, even if you are disheartened, you can't be indifferent. You have to think about the child in your belly. If Empress Shu also gives birth to a prince, then she will certainly find more ways to confuse the emperor. How can a smart person like you be defeated by a mere Empress Shu?" Zhao Ning said in exasperation. She had always envied and admired the Empress, but when she saw that the Empress was forced to such a point by a Empress Shu who was inferior to her in everything, she felt wronged and unconvinced.
If she had known that Mo Rongzhan was so easily changed, she would have …
No, no, she didn't want a ruthless person like Mo Rongzhan. If she really did it, wouldn't the end result be the same as the Empress?
Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Ning and smiled slightly. She knew that Zhao Ning was concerned about her and misunderstood that she was ignored by Mo Rongzhan. She thought that the feelings between her and Mo Rongzhan had changed. Unfortunately, the things between her and Mo Rongzhan could not be told to outsiders.
She didn't expect that Zhao Ning, who made her feel very uneasy at the beginning, would care about her so much now.
"How do you know that Empress Shu is pregnant?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Zhao Ning whispered, "I heard that it was diagnosed last night. The emperor protected her like a treasure and did not let anyone disturb her. The news spread throughout the capital this morning."
Ye Zhen's heart tightened. Did something happen to Hu Yue 'er?
"Your Highness, you'd better find a way to return to the palace." Zhao Ning persuaded.
"Well, thank you for your concern, Princess." Ye Zhen looked at Zhao Ning with a little more warmth in her eyes. "The emperor is not a ruthless person. This consort believes that he will take this consort back."
Zhao Ning looked at Ye Zhen as if she was seeing her mother. At that time, her mother was already terminally ill. She thought that her father would come back to find her until the moment of her death.
But what's the use? He was already dead, so what was the use of waiting until he was betrayed?
"Niang niang, you should be cherished, not treated coldly like this." Zhao Ning said in a low voice, "It's not worth it."
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "Whether it's worth it or not depends on yourself. You will understand later."
Zhao Ning almost rolled his eyes. "I don't want to understand at all. Seeing you like this, I would rather not understand for the rest of my life."
"That's right. It's better not to understand this kind of thing." Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. "I heard that your uncle came with the Qi envoy this time?"
"Yes, Uncle Wang is very nice. He is very concerned about me. He said that I am the princess of Qi Kingdom," Zhao Ning said.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, "When will you return to Qi?"
Zhao Ning frowned and said, "Uncle Wang hasn't mentioned it yet. I don't know when I will return to Qi."
"I don't know if I'll be able to come back to the capital in the future. I'll take advantage of these few days to walk around as much as I want." Ye Rou smiled. "There are several hot springs in this villa. If you like it, you can stay here for two days."
"Can I?" Zhao Ning asked excitedly.
Ye Zhen smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Hong Ying glanced at Zhao Ning. "It's already dark outside. If the princess goes down the mountain at this time, it will be too late."
"Then, I'll go and tell Prince Song." Zhao Ning said.
"I heard that the one who sent you here is the son of the Marquis of Qi?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Zhao Ning looked at Ye Zhen doubtfully. "Yes, Princess, do you know him?"
How could she know? Xue Lin said that this man was a confidant of the Qi Emperor and that he could not be allowed to stay in the villa for too long, lest he cause trouble.
She wanted to know what kind of confidant the Qi Emperor was.
A person's personality can be seen from the people around him.
"Since Heir Song is also here, this consort has to meet him." Ye Zhen's beautiful face carried a shallow smile. Zhao Yong must have his own intentions for sending Song Honao to the Jin Kingdom as an envoy. She wanted to meet this Song Honao.
Hong Ying was surprised. "Princess, do you want to see the Qi Emperor?"
Ye Zhen asked. "Go and invite him over. If you want to keep the Qi Princess, you must tell the Qi Emperor."
"Yes, Princess." Hong Ying had to agree. She thought that the Empress was more interested in Empress Shu's pregnancy. It seemed that the Empress did not take it to heart, or did she not show her anger?
In the front living room, Song Honao was still thinking about how to avoid Xue Lin's surveillance. He thought that it would be good if he could take the opportunity to walk around Chengde Villa. Maybe there would be unexpected gains. However, he found a problem.
There seemed to be a lot of guards in Chengde Villa, and they did not look like ordinary guards.
"Lord Xue, can I go out for a walk? It's been a little boring here for a long time. "Song Honao looked at Xue Lin by the door and said with great sincerity.
"Where does Prince Song want to go? This one will accompany you." Xue Lin said, determined to follow Song Honao closely.
Song Honao had long known that Xue Lin would say this. "Naturally, I can't go where I shouldn't go. Why don't Lord Xue lead the way?"
Xue Lin said politely, "Prince Song!"
Song Honao could not go to the garden at the back of the villa, so Xue Lin led him to walk in the front garden.
Song Honao's eyes kept looking around as if he was really enjoying the scenery. Only he knew in his heart that he was very surprised.
The security of this Chengde Villa was much tighter than he had imagined.
"I heard that your country's Emperor comes here for the autumn hunt every year?" Prince Song looked at the forest not far away. That place was at the other end of the villa, and there was a fence at the foot of the mountain. That place should be where the royal family hunted.
Xue Lin said, "Yes, without the Emperor's decree, no one can go in."
Song Honao sighed softly. "What a pity. I heard that your Emperor's archery is very good."
If it was not for the fact that it was getting dark, he really wanted to go there to take a look.
"Not only our Emperor, but our Empress is also an expert," Xue Lin said proudly.
Song Honao was really shocked this time. "Your Empress also knows martial arts?"
"She doesn't know martial arts, but her horsemanship and archery skills are not inferior to those of men. Jin Country is different from other countries. We have a women's college, and our women all learn horsemanship and archery," Xue Lin said.
He said it as if there were no women's colleges in Qi Country! Song Honao glanced at Xue Lin from the corner of his eyes. "A woman without talent is a virtue."
Xue Lin snorted. "Don't let our Empress hear this."
Song Honao wanted to say so what if she heard it, but he was interrupted by a voice. "Lord Xue, Empress wants to see the envoy of Qi Country."
