No pop-up ads, so refreshing! Thanks for your support! Sounds good to me ^_^... Chapter 85-1

  I leaned into Nan Chengyao's warm and strong arms, with complicated emotions that were hard to express.

  It's really not one bit resentful.

  If it wasn't him, if it wasn't him...

  A sudden wave of pain struck again in the small interval, and my body subconsciously tensed up, with my fingers tightly clutching the hem of my skirt.

  His voice was also filled with tension and anxiety, his arms tightly embracing me: "Qing'er, don't be afraid, nothing will happen to you, I won't let anything happen to you!"

  A sharp pain suddenly spread in my heart, and I turned my head with difficulty. Looking into his eyes, a mournful and icy curve hooked at the corner of my lips: "Your Highness, can you guarantee that the child in my belly will also be safe?"

  His eyes suddenly showed a painful surprise, and his hands unconsciously increased their strength, tightly grasping my shoulders, asking: "What did you say?"

  I took a deep breath, once, twice, but it was no use. I closed my eyes tightly, but couldn't hold back the tears that quietly fell: "Your servant is probably pregnant, but... I don't know if I can keep him!"

  I couldn't say anything more, nor could I hold on any longer. I closed my eyes and let him silently wrap his arms around me tighter and tighter. No one said another word, but I could feel the emotions he conveyed through his hug, those deeply suppressed feelings that were just like mine - pain that had descended too suddenly to be joyful, spreading wildly.

  I think I'm really tired, drowsy and closing my eyes, there seems to be footsteps approaching around me, but I don't have the energy to care anymore, only subconsciously stretching out both hands to protect my abdomen, then letting go of the soft darkness, little by little, enveloping me in a warm embrace.

  I don't know how long I slept until intermittent sounds entered my ears-----

  "...there is also a 'thousand-day drunk orchid'... internal traitor... for so long... still haven't found out..."

  "...Tai'an is incompetent... forgive me..."

  She slightly moved her body, opened her eyes, and found herself still leaning against Nan Chengyao's arms. He saw that she was awake, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and he told Qin An to retreat behind the screen. Then, with a hint of tenderness and joy, he held her hand and placed it on her still flat abdomen: "Our child is already over a month old."

  I had been carrying a heavy burden in my heart for so long, and at that moment, I finally let go.

  "Your Highness, I..."

  My words were left unspoken, just like that thread of warmth and joy in the depths of my heart had yet to spread out before it suddenly came to an end.

  Outside the door was a hoarse voice shouting loudly -----

  "Let me in... I want to see Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness... My young mistress suddenly fainted... I don't know what to do... Your Highness... Please go take a look... Wuuu... wuuu..."

  He held my hand and hesitated for a moment.

  In his unfathomable eyes, a faint glimmer of darkness flashed by, but when I looked closer, he slowly closed his eyes, and on his handsome face, there was not a single readable emotion, so calm.

  I couldn't believe my eyes as he loosened his grip on my hand, then laid me down flat on the bed and pulled the covers over us.

  His deep, dark eyes fixed on me for a few seconds, as if with a hint of tenderness, but ultimately said nothing. He stood up resolutely and walked out the door in big strides, his voice carrying a rare, cold tone: "Don't let her go... Yinyin's body is not good, didn't I instruct you to take good care of her? How could she have fainted? Has the imperial physician been summoned?"

  I listened as his voice grew fainter and fainter. My hands slowly rose to caress my own belly.

  Lowering her eyelids, a faint smile whispered: "It's okay, it's okay, you still have me, Mother will protect you, and absolutely won't let anyone hurt you one bit, ever!" (Still remembering the shocking scene in the imperial harem)

  Still remember the shocking swan's reflection (harem)
