The matter that Han Yunxi thought of was really very big. It was so big that it was related to Long Fei Ye's future.
This matter was not anything else but the matter of having an heir.
Her other hand secretly reached out of the quilt and carefully pressed her pulse to feel it. She had been secretly preparing. She didn't drink tea because she was afraid that it would affect the absorption of iron and aggravate her anemia. She had been so busy these days that her blood and Qi were not very sufficient.
These days, she had been busy with the northern expedition. She didn't notice that her good friend had delayed her visit until now.
Could it be …
Han Yunxi felt uneasy and nervous as she checked her own pulse. Who knew that her pulse would soon make her even more uneasy. She didn't feel the pregnancy pulse.
In the early stages of pregnancy, not to mention the pulse, even the modern professional test paper might not be able to give the correct answer. Blood drawing and ultrasound examination were the most accurate. Therefore, Han Yunxi was not disappointed that she didn't feel the pregnancy pulse. She was even more uneasy and nervous.
It was really impossible to predict the outcome of this kind of thing. She could only wait.
Retracting her hand, Han Yunxi carefully turned over to face Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye only loosened his hand slightly and didn't let go.
Han Yunxi was so close to him that her nose almost touched the tip of his nose. Looking at his incomparably handsome appearance, she couldn't help but imagine the future child. Would it be a boy or a girl? Would it be more like him or more like her?
He would definitely love their child very, very much. The more Han Yunxi thought about it, the more she wanted to see Long Fei Ye's appearance as a father.
Han Yunxi hoped that their first child would be a girl. She especially wanted to see what Long Fei Ye looked like when he had a little lover. Moreover, if their first child was a girl, they would have more relaxed and happy times. If it was a boy, he would be the eldest son. His future responsibilities would be very important. How could it be easy to share his father's worries and difficulties?
Children born in the royal family were born with more than others and were destined to bear more than others! Han Yunxi wasn't so naive as to want to avoid these realities for her child. She hoped that her child would be hardworking, intelligent, and responsible.
What she could help them avoid was the cruelty of the royal family's fratricide. Thinking of this, Han Yunxi suddenly realized that she seemed to be thinking too much, too far ahead.
Right now, the world was still uncertain, and her disappointing stomach still hadn't given her any news! If Long Fei Ye opened his eyes now, he would definitely see Han Yunxi's vexed expression, which was especially stupid.
Han Yunxi really couldn't sleep, so she seriously pondered how to talk to the stewards of the Di Clan about the delay of the northern expedition.
Since Long Fei Ye had clearly told Tang Li the date of the northern expedition, then this matter must have been decided and would not change.
The following meeting with the Di Clan was bound to be a tough battle. After all, the Di Clan had made ample preparations for the northern expedition in spring. They had been waiting for Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi to return to the Three-Way Black Market so that they could discuss the northern expedition as soon as possible and settle several important matters.
It was almost the new year, and now he was telling them that the expedition to the north would be delayed by at least two months. What would they think?
At this moment, in Myriad Merchant Hall, the representatives of the Di Clan's military, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Myriad Merchant Hall's Council of Elders were holding a secret meeting. This secret meeting had been going on since the morning.
Long Fei Ye had delayed the meeting time. They knew nothing of what had happened in East Origin Hall, and only thought that the Baili Army's people had been delayed by the heavy snow and had yet to arrive.
In fact, they had already held several secret meetings before this. They discussed how much of the Di Clan's interests should be preserved in the cooperation with East Qin, which side should take the initiative in the war, and which side should support, and other such issues.
These issues were rather complicated, and the Di Clan's internal opinions were not unified, so they had to urgently discuss a conclusion when Long Fei Ye met with them.
Of course, they hoped to directly contact Ning Cheng. If these issues were decided by Ning Cheng, they would definitely obey, and there would be no need to argue for so long. Unfortunately, they had no way of directly contacting Ning Cheng. The information they received about Ning Cheng was all conveyed by Ning Jing.
And the information Ning Jing knew was obtained by Bai Yuqiao's spies in Jun Yi Xie's army. Ever since Ning Cheng had been taken away by Jun Yi Xie, even Bai Yuqiao found it extremely difficult to directly contact him.
Bai Yuqiao was a cautious person. The more people involved in this kind of communication, the more dangerous it would be. So, unless she had no other choice, she would not send a letter to the army, nor would she allow her trusted aides to send a letter to Ning Cheng.
According to Bai Yuqiao's opinion, as long as Han Yunxi was around, the Di Clan had to listen to Han Yunxi. Ning Cheng only needed to keep Jun Yi Xie in check!
Many people in the Di Clan, especially the military, were wary of Ning Jing. After all, Ning Jing was a married daughter, and Ning Jing was also married to Tang Li.
Thus, the military, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Elders' Guild no longer asked Ning Jing about the northern expedition. They used the method of consultation and voting to decide.
It was precisely because of this that there were very few secret letters sent from Myriad Merchant Hall to Tiger's Prison. Hao San stayed in Tiger's Prison for a few days and returned empty-handed.
Uncle Cheng was unable to decipher the intercepted letter. Ning Jing had used the Di Clan's special digital ciphertext. Other than Ning Cheng, only Ning Cheng could understand it.
Hao San reported this to Jun Yi Xie. Jun Yi Xie was extremely disappointed. If he could not decipher the secret letter, there was no point in intercepting it in the future.
If he suddenly intercepted these secret letters, he would alert the enemy. So, after some hesitation, he decided to let Bai Yuqiao continue to be the messenger.
"Have you talked to that Old Cheng?" Jun Yi Xie asked Coldly.
Bai Yuqiao's secret letter proved that Uncle Cheng was not lying. However, he could not figure out why Uncle Cheng would betray Ning Cheng.
"Master, he did not want to talk to me. He asked me to pass a message to you," Xue San replied truthfully.
"Speak." Jun Yi Xie was curious.
"He begged Master to give the Di Clan another chance on account of his meritorious service in exposing them. Persuade Ning Cheng to cooperate with us. He said that if Ning Cheng was willing, as long as he controlled Bai Yuqiao, he would not hesitate to deal with Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, "Xue San replied.
Jun Yi Xie frowned at first, then laughed loudly. "This prince is not a fool!"
Ning Cheng was already poisoned, yet he still dared to trick him. He clearly did not want his life anymore, so how could he still cooperate with him?
"Master, should we strengthen Tiger's Prison's defenses?" Xue San asked.
"Of course!" Jun Yi Xie narrowed his eyes and said Coldly, "This prince wants Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye to die in Tiger's Prison even if I have to cripple the three armies!"
Based on Northern Li's current situation and his military strength, even if he knew that Eastern and Western Qin were going to join forces to conquer the north, he was powerless and could not guard against them.
Therefore, the only thing he could do was to kill their masters, Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, before Eastern and Western Qin's army conquered the north!
Once these two died in Tiger's Prison, Eastern and Western Qin would fall into chaos and the northern expedition would not succeed.
Compared to his previous impulsiveness, Jun Yi Xie was incomparably calm at this moment. It was not that he could keep his cool, but the situation forced him to keep his cool for now.
He seriously instructed Xue San, "Pass down my orders. No one is allowed to act rashly and alert the enemy. Also, send someone to keep an eye on that Uncle Cheng! "
"Yes!" Xue San accepted the order and left.
Jun Yi Xie sat down and muttered a name, "Bai Yuqiao … Bai Yuqiao …!"
He could not understand why Bai Yuqiao, who had adored him since young, would betray him. Was she threatened, or did she have other motives?
He was not in a hurry. After capturing Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi, he did not mind slowly interrogating that slut!
A few days after Jun Yi Xie learned that Bai Yuqiao was a spy, Bai Yanqing also learned of this matter. Bai Yanqing didn't go anywhere but settled down in one of Skyriver City's residences.
After receiving the secret letter, he was very surprised, "It's actually that girl!"
"Master, could there be a mistake in this information? Miss Yuqiao has always liked Jun Yi Xie. The entire Hundred Poisons Sect knows about this. "The servant was very incredulous.
"Strange! Strange! " With Bai Yanqing's understanding of that female disciple, he really could not figure out the reason. "Investigate and find out the reason. There must be something fishy going on here."
Bai Yuqiao was sitting alone on a tatami mat, slowly sipping plum wine from her pot.
Seeing that the servant was about to leave, he called out, "How about another bet?"
The servant was terrified, "This servant does not dare, does not dare."
"If Old Man says you dare, then you dare! Let's make a bet. Can that brat Jun Yi Xie capture Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye? "Bai Yanqing asked.
There were tiger beasts in Tiger's Prison and there were many traps. If Jun Yi Xie wanted to catch a turtle in a jar, there would definitely be an ambush. Jun Yi Xie still had a chance of winning.
The servant spoke his thoughts, causing Bai Yanqing to laugh loudly, "That Old Man is betting that Jun Yi Xie will lose!"
The servant did not understand and did not dare to ask further. He patted his horse for a while before retreating.
This servant had followed Bai Yanqing for a long time, but until now, he still could not figure out what his master wanted to do. He had no intention of vying for the world, nor did he seem to want to face Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi directly. He had an immortal body. If he really wanted to deal with Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye, it should be very easy. However, he still had no intention of taking revenge.
The snow and wind blew, and the weather grew colder. In the blink of an eye, it was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve.
Long Fei Ye had arranged to meet with the Di Clan this very morning at East Origin Hall's Jin Dong Hall.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi were naturally present. Aside from them, only Gu Beiyue and Tang Li were present. The Di Clan had brought quite a few people with them, led by Ning Nuo, Myriad Merchant Hall's five elders, Deputy General Xue from the military, and Cloud Realm Trade Consortium's Elder Chen from Cloud Realm Trade Consortium, making a total of 12 people.
Anyone who saw the Di Clan's lineup could guess that they were a group of dragons without a leader. Moreover, they hadn't reached a consensus before coming here.
Long Fei Ye had always hated crowds, so he creased his brows as soon as he saw Xu Donglin bring the 12 people into the main hall.
It had to be said that although he didn't want to see Ning Cheng, he especially wished that Ning Cheng was here.
Gu had no interest in today's matters at first, but he had hurried over as soon as he heard that so many people had come.
It was a rare chance to see Long Fei Ye quarrel with so many people, so how could he miss it?
Yes, as long as Long Fei Ye's northern expedition was delayed, both sides would definitely start quarreling!
