As soon as Long Fei Ye's large hand touched her belly, Han Yunxi felt inexplicably nervous. However, she didn't know that Long Fei Ye was even more nervous than she was!
The two of them quieted down. Long Fei Ye didn't dare to use force, nor did he dare to move. He just gently caressed her belly.
This hand of his had once wielded the king of swords, Ganjiang, and could control the entire martial arts world. This hand of his could flip clouds and rain in the imperial court, overturning the entire Cloud Realm Continent. This hand of his had interlocked with Han Yunxi's, promising to protect her until her hair turned white.
It was this large hand that was currently resting lightly on Han Yunxi's belly. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to move.
After a while, the nervous Han Yunxi didn't even feel nervous anymore. She could also see his nervousness.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but laugh. "Did you touch the little fellow?"
Long Fei Ye shook his head. "He didn't move."
Han Yunxi burst out laughing. "It's not time yet! In a month or two, he'll be able to push his belly up. "
"Really?" Long Fei Ye was both curious and pleasantly surprised.
At this moment, he didn't look like the ruler of Cloud Realm Continent at all. He looked more like an ordinary person who didn't care about his emotions at all. Han Yunxi suddenly recalled Han Chen's words in the underground palace. She wanted to apply them to Long Fei Ye. If someone used the child to lie to him, he would definitely believe it no matter what it was.
"It's true!" Han Yunxi grinned. "If you lean your ear over there, you might be able to hear him moving right now."
Long Fei Ye immediately moved closer, carefully leaning against her. He was afraid that he'd hurt the child if he used too much force.
Han Yunxi would probably never forget this fellow's nervous and careful expression at this moment.
After being in love for so long, this was her first time seeing this!
The one in her belly had better be a boy. Otherwise, she really would be jealous!
Han Yunxi pressed Long Fei Ye's head down. "Silly, the child and I are not that weak. Come closer and listen carefully."
Even though she said so, he still couldn't relax.
He listened carefully for a long time before asking suspiciously, "Nothing?"
"Then it really isn't time yet. I didn't feel him moving." Han Yunxi said helplessly.
"How long will that take?" Long Fei Ye quickly asked.
"Generally speaking, it starts in five or six months. Some start earlier. It varies from person to person," Han Yunxi said seriously.
Long Fei Ye's brows immediately furrowed. He planned to send this woman to Jiangnan's Plum Blossom Sea to nurture the fetus. He planned to settle the matters in the north as quickly as possible in the next two to three months, and then move to the south. This way, he could accompany her while dealing with the various government affairs after the founding of the country.
Now, the little guy was already five months old. Fourth Young Mistress Ren had said yesterday that the little guy would change a lot. He had already missed a few months, and he really didn't want to miss the time to accompany her. He also didn't want to leave her alone to share the joy of the little guy's growth. However, it wasn't appropriate to take her with him. He was afraid that she would be too tired.
Long Fei Ye was hesitating when Han Yunxi started to explain, "Some babies are diligent and active. They don't stop moving every day when they have nothing to do. They punch and kick, and they even flip over. Some babies are lazy and sleep the whole day. "
Long Fei Ye unconsciously knelt on one knee beside her, caressing her belly while listening attentively.
This heartwarming scene seemed to be frozen in the courtyard on an autumn afternoon, becoming a meaningful painting.
When the Shadow Guard came over and saw this scene, he didn't dare to disturb them and only quietly guarded the courtyard door. They had followed His Highness for so long, but this was the first time they saw him kneel!
Even if he was kneeling on one knee, it was still kneeling on the ground! One had to know that in a few months, His Highness would definitely establish a country and proclaim himself emperor. That would be the supreme ruler of Cloud Realm Continent. He could only kneel to the heavens and worship his ancestors!
The Shadow Guard waited for a long time until Xu Donglin ran over, alerting Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi.
"What's the matter?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Xu Donglin scratched his head and walked in, not daring to raise his head to look at his master.
"Your Highness, the princess asked this subordinate to bring people to the labyrinth to look for Duanmu Yao. This subordinate couldn't find her after searching for half a day. Then, I saw Su Xiaoyu and Senior Han Chen enter the underground palace."
The princess hadn't acknowledged her biological father yet, so Xu Donglin could only address him as Senior Han Chen.
"You're looking for Duanmu Yao?" Long Fei Ye was surprised.
"I spent a lot of time practicing the Xuan Nü Swordsmanship, so I can't let it go to waste! Besides, what if Bai Yanqing didn't hide her in the labyrinth, but somewhere else? "Han Yunxi asked seriously." Then what should we do? "
Actually, she wanted to drag Long Fei Ye up the mountain not because she was worried about Su Xiaoyu, but because the Shadow Guard hadn't reported back yet. She was afraid that the Shadow Guard wouldn't be familiar with the labyrinth's secret rooms and wouldn't be able to find her, so she wanted to go personally.
Long Fei Ye had talked to her about the little fellow, so she'd forgotten all about it.
Long Fei Ye had completely forgotten about Duanmu Yao and couldn't be bothered to think about her, but Han Yunxi's words made sense. If she wasn't in the labyrinth and was rescued outside, then it would be a problem in the future.
"Have Gu Beiyue go look for her first. Tell him that the two of us will be there soon," Long Fei Ye instructed.
He couldn't search the entire labyrinth for Duanmu Yao.
Long Fei Ye prepared a palanquin for Long Fei Ye and personally selected a few calm Shadow Guards to carry the palanquin, while he followed at the side.
This made Han Yunxi feel a sense of crisis. She felt that she would soon be grounded because of the ball in her stomach. Would Long Fei Ye not let her walk when she went out for Long Fei Ye in the future? Would she have to sit in the palanquin?
Han Yunxi looked at her stomach. She had a feeling that the child was already cheating her when it was still in its mother's womb.
The palanquin took a long time to go up the mountain. When they arrived, Gu Beiyue was already sitting leisurely by a large tree, waiting for them.
He was dressed in snow-white robes and leaned against the tree trunk to rest. Bathed in the fragmentary sunlight, he looked like an angel passing by the mortal world. No one could bear to disturb him, but they also wanted to get closer.
Before Han Yunxi and the others could get close, Gu Beiyue had already woken up.
He hurriedly got up and strode forward with that meek appearance of his. "Your Highness, Princess."
For a second, Han Yunxi had the illusion that she didn't really understand Gu Beiyue at all. In fact, she'd never even seen him in person.
What kind of person was he?
"Have you found her?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"In the secret room on the third floor. There's food and water in the secret room. It should be able to last for another four to five days," Gu Beiyue replied truthfully.
When he had gone to find her, Duanmu Yao had done everything she could to sow discord between them. She had even offered to marry him to beg him to let her go. He didn't tell Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye about this. He only asked, "Princess, are we going down now?"
A cold glint flashed in Han Yunxi's eyes. "Lead the way!"
If it had been anyone else, she could have let them go. But if she let Duanmu Yao go, she would regret it for the rest of her life!
Gu Beiyue led the way while Long Fei Ye escorted Han Yunxi down. The three of them quickly reached the third floor of the underground palace and found the secret room.
The secret room's mechanism was on the outside and could only be activated from the outside. In other words, if no one activated the mechanism, Duanmu Yao would never be able to come out. She could only starve to death in there.
Han Yunxi pressed down on the mechanism and said in a low voice, "Both of you should leave. Men shouldn't interfere in women's matters."
Han Yunxi had her own selfish motives. She didn't want Duanmu Yao to see Long Fei Ye again. Not even a single meeting!
Not to mention that Duanmu Yao's martial arts had been crippled and it would be difficult for her to recover. Even if she fully recovered, she wouldn't be a match for the current Han Yunxi. The disparity in strength was too great. Long Fei Ye wasn't worried at all.
He didn't say a word. He walked to the end of the tunnel and leaned against the wall, waiting. Gu Beiyue walked to the other end of the tunnel and also leaned against the wall, waiting.
Han Yunxi looked left and right, then smiled at Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue. It was obvious that she was in a particularly good mood!
It was rare to see Duanmu Yao in such a good mood.
The stone door slowly opened.
In the stone room, Duanmu Yao thought that Gu Beiyue had thought things through and was coming back to save her. Who knew that she would see the face of the person she hated the most?
"Han Yunxi!" She cried out in alarm.
"Princess Duan, long time no see!" Han Yunxi walked in with a chuckle.
Duanmu Yao immediately retreated. She had learned everything about Han Yunxi from Bai Yanqing, including her background, her poison skills, and her phoenix power.
Duanmu Yao knew very well that she couldn't defeat this woman. She could either run or die!
Han Yunxi gently stroked her swollen belly and smiled at Duanmu Yao.
The frightened Duanmu Yao finally looked down and noticed Han Yunxi's belly.
She was very surprised. She almost cried out, "You! You … "
Han Yunxi didn't move from her spot, one hand on her waist and the other on her belly. Her face was full of bliss. "Long Fei Ye's child."
For a rival in love, what words could be more ear-piercing and damaging than these few words?
Long Fei Ye's child!
Long Fei Ye's child!
A man who could accept a woman and a man who could accept a woman giving birth to his child were two completely different things! The latter was clearly superior to the former!
Duanmu Yao had clearly given up on Long Fei Ye and only felt hatred for him!
But when she heard these words and saw Han Yunxi's swollen belly, her heart ached like a knife. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignore it! No matter how much she hated, she couldn't hide her heartache!
She suddenly wanted to cry. She really wanted to suffer!
She refused to admit defeat, even when her martial arts were crippled and her looks were ruined. Even when she knew that Bai Yanqing was only using her to destroy Celestial Mountain. Even when Gu Beiyue rejected her attempt to sow discord and left, she refused to admit defeat.
Even when Han Yunxi came and opened the stone door, she didn't feel like she had lost.
But the word "child" caused her to break down and fall into despair.
Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. It was so painful that she couldn't breathe. It reminded her that she still loved that man deeply. So she had lost completely!
"Han Yunxi, if you're here to show off, you win! You win, okay?! "Duanmu Yao howled in tears.
"Do you admit defeat?" Han Yunxi's smile disappeared and was replaced by a frightening coldness. She said, "Unfortunately, it's too late!"
She drew Mo Xie's sword and said Coldly, "I'm not here to show off. Long Fei Ye loves me, dotes on me, and pampers me. That's enough for me to know. It has nothing to do with you. I'm here today to rid my sect of evil! "
Duanmu Yao didn't understand. "Your sect?"
