Ye Zhen's period had always been very accurate, so it was rare for it to be delayed by a few days. Mo Rongzhan was stunned for a moment. Inexperienced people were like this. They didn't realize what the delay of their period meant.
"It doesn't matter if it doesn't come." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile. He did not think much of it. If her period came today, he could only hug her today and not do anything.
Ye Zhen bit her lip and glared at him. She whispered in his ear, "My period used to be very punctual, but a few days have passed this month."
He knew her period very well, so he didn't understand why she was nervous. He looked at her in a daze, wondering why she was dissatisfied with him.
"Stupid!" Ye Zhen scolded angrily. "I'll tell you in a few days."
Ye Zhen was not sure whether she was pregnant or not, so she decided to wait until she was sure before telling him.
Mo Rongzhan bowed his head and kissed her lips a few times. "Tell me what?"
"What have you been busy with these days?" Ye Zhen hooked his finger and asked softly. She didn't want him to ask more questions. It would be more boring if he was happy for nothing.
"Your brother sent a message that Xiliang is ready to go to war. This time, the Beiming Kingdom should be allied with Xiliang. However, Wanyan Xi has gone to find Tuoba Xuanyuan. If he can seize the power of Xiliang, many things may be different." Mo Rongzhan whispered.
Ye Zhen didn't expect that so many things had happened in the wasteland in just a few days of neglect.
"Is Wanyan Xi not in the barracks?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. She thought that Wanyan Xi would not return to Xiliang so easily.
"This should be your brother's idea. I also think that if he can return to Xiliang and regain the power of the king, it will be beneficial for us." Mo Rongzhan said faintly, "The only thing that worries me is that there is still no news of the Witch King of Xiliang."
In fact, Mo Rongzhan was not more concerned about the wasteland recently. He believed that with Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen, everything would not be a problem. It was because he had determined that Murong Ke was the pavilion master of Qian Luocha.
Although he had guessed the relationship between Murong Ke and Qian Luocha before, he was still a little angry now that it was confirmed.
What he couldn't accept the most was that Murong Ke had sent people to kill Ye Zhen. For this, he would not let Qian Luocha go. Then, he and Murong Ke would become enemies.
Originally, he planned to find out Murong Ke's identity and tell Ye Zhen, but now he was somewhat unable to say it.
Ye Zhen said, "With my brother and Tang Zhen, there should be no problem in the wasteland."
Mo Rongzhan smiled and patted her head. "Yeah, don't worry."
Although Ye Zhen did not say anything, he knew very well that Murong Ke not only saved her life but also stood by her side when she needed help most. Murong Ke was certainly not a stranger to her. However, what was Murong Ke's purpose in approaching Ye Zhen? If he was really as affectionate as he showed, why did he let Qian Luocha's assassins chase after Ye Zhen?
If Murong Ke saved Ye Zhen for another purpose, Mo Rongzhan's eyes were cold. He would not let Murong Ke go.
Ye Zhen was preoccupied with the reason why her period had not come yet, so she did not notice Mo Rongzhan's expression. After dinner, they went out for a walk to digest their food. Ye Zhen soon felt tired and fell asleep as soon as she returned to her bedroom.
The next day, when Mo Rongzhan was reading the memorials in the imperial study, he suddenly asked Eunuch Fu on a whim, "What is the reason for a woman's period to be postponed for a few days?"
Eunuch Fu was adding silver wire charcoal. When he heard this, his whole body almost bumped into the fire.
Did he hear it wrong? Your Majesty, have you just been possessed by something?
"I am asking you a question!" Mo Rongzhan asked angrily.
Eunuch Fu swallowed his saliva and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, then … she should be pregnant, right?"
Mo Rongzhan's hand paused. "What did you say? Say it again!"
"This servant … this servant also heard it. She should be pregnant!" Eunuch Fu cried silently in his heart. What's wrong with the emperor today? Shouldn't this question be asked by the imperial doctor? He is a eunuch!
Pregnant!
Mo Rongzhan remembered Ye Zhen's forbearance last night. Was she afraid to let him rejoice in vain, so she dared not say it?
He suddenly couldn't sit still and immediately stood up. "Let's go to the Empress!"
"Your Majesty, the Empress has left the palace!"
Ye Zhen had been thinking about the fact that she was not punctual on her period, so when she got up in the morning, she immediately asked the imperial doctor to come. Doctors don't treat themselves, so she didn't take her pulse.
Every month, Minister Gong came to take Ye Zhen's pulse. This morning, when he heard that the Empress had invited him, he was a little surprised. He thought that there was something wrong with the Empress. After taking her pulse, he was relieved.
However, the pulse seemed to be a little slippery.
But he was a little uncertain.
"Your Majesty, this lowly official would like to ask Hong Ying a few questions first." Minister Gong said in a low voice. He couldn't ask the Empress if her period was punctual.
Hong Ying knew Ye Zhen's period best. She had long suspected that she was pregnant. Now, when she heard Minister Gong's words, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
After Minister Gong asked, he was seventy percent sure in his heart. However, the palace had its own rules, and he couldn't say anything without full confidence.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your pulse seems to be slippery, but it's still early, so it's not certain." Minister Gong whispered.
In fact, Ye Zhen already knew it. She nodded with a smile. "I understand. Since it's still early, don't publicize it for the time being. Wait until it's confirmed."
Minister Gong knew that the Empress didn't want to be happy in vain and cause gossip. He immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please pay more attention to your health. This lowly official will come back in a few days to take your pulse."
The Empress was pregnant. With how much the Emperor valued her, this was definitely a great event in the palace.
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded with a smile.
After Minister Gong left, Hong Ying looked at Ye Zhen with some excitement. "Your Majesty, you … you have a little prince."
"It will take a few more days to be completely sure." Ye Zhen touched her lower abdomen, but there was already expectation in her eyes.
When she was happy, Qi Jin hurried to the palace to see Ye Zhen. Qi Zixi's condition had changed repeatedly.
When Ye Zhen left yesterday, she was very sure that Qi Zixi would not have any more problems. When she heard Qi Jin's words, she felt that there must be something wrong, so she followed Qi Jin out of the palace.
