Chapter 1008: Shallow Fate
Doctor Hong was also surprised. He knew that Mr. Xiao was not a simple person. He also knew that Mr. Xiao had close ties with Great Yan. He even guessed that Xiao Rongyan was a spy sent by Yan to Wei…
But no one would have expected that he was actually Murong Yu’s younger brother, the… vicious Ninth Prince of Dayan.
The lights in the side hall flickered slightly. Dong sat beside Bai Qingyan, looking at Murong Yan who was sincerely asking her for his blessing. She asked with anger, “How do you want me to do it? Let A Bao… marry you with Da Zhou? Or… leave Yan State and be with my A Bao?”
Murong Yan didn’t speak for a long while. Instead, Dong spoke first: “You said you would marry Abao, but… the young master of Dayan ascended the throne, and you are the regent of Dayan. If you were asked to abandon Yan State and be with my Abao, and abandon your nephew, can you do it?”
“Abao is now the empress of Great Zhou. She is ambitious to enrich and strengthen the people of Great Zhou. She will never abandon Great Zhou. Tell me… with your two identities, how did the current situation between Great Zhou and Yan State come together?” Dong felt a pain in her heart.
If his brother were still alive, Murong Yan would definitely choose to stay by Bai Qingyan’s side for the sake of Bai Qingyan and the child in Bai Qingyan’s belly…
But A Li was still young, so he had to support A Li and move forward until the State of Yan was unified, thus fulfilling his mother and brother’s last wishes.
But now, he can’t let go of Bai Qingyan who is pregnant.
“Yan…” Murong Yan’s throat rolled. His love for Bai Qingyan was true, and it was true that he would not marry anyone else but Bai Qingyan in this life. It was even more true that he wanted to stay with Bai Qingyan. However, with his current identity… with this situation, what should he do to have the best of both worlds?
The Bai Qingyan he admired was not an ordinary woman. She was as determined as any man and had her own ideals and ambitions…
A Li is young and Yan State cannot do without him!
But Abao is pregnant. As a husband and a father, how can he not be with Abao and the child? !
Not to mention that Po is weak…
“Abao has always been weak. Not only has her current body not recovered, but she has been working hard all day long, so she is not suitable for pregnancy. But you…” Mrs. Dong pursed her lips and didn’t want to say those useless complaints afterwards. The most important thing now is how to solve this problem. “It is said that you and Abao are engaged. Abao did not deny it at the state banquet. So… you can marry Abao as Xiao Rongyan, and then go back to your Yan country. Whether the child in Abao’s belly can be born or not, it has nothing to do with you, Murong Yan. It is our Bai family’s child!”
When the empress of Zhou Dynasty was first established, the rules and regulations of the harem had not yet been determined. Under this circumstance, the harem system could refer to that of Xiliang, and the emperor would not show up easily except on major festivals.
“However, since you, Xiao Rongyan, have become the husband of the Great Zhou Emperor, you can no longer use your identity as Xiao Rongyan to walk around and cheat people. Xiao Rongyan must completely disappear from this world!” Dong was still angry, so her words were naturally unpleasant. “This way, we have achieved both ends.”
Now that the position of the Emperor’s husband has been decided, the court officials will no longer think of sending portraits of young talents to Abao and force Abao to choose the Emperor’s husband. In this way, Abao can also be much more relaxed when dealing with these overly enthusiastic court officials… such as Dong’s brother Dong Qingping.
But what Xiao Rongyan cared about was not his identity or the child’s whereabouts. Xiao Rongyan was more concerned about Bai Qingyan’s physical condition. He had already said that he was asking for a wife, not a child, and he was afraid that Bai Qingyan’s body could not bear it.
Doctor Hong clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was beating fast when he thought about Bai Qingyan’s pulse. According to Doctor Hong’s opinion… this child came at the wrong time and should not be kept. As the child gets older, Bai Qingyan will be more and more exhausted. If she is a strong woman, she will be fine, but Bai Qingyan’s body…
With tears in her eyes, Dong gritted her teeth as she looked at Xiao Rongyan. At the corner of her eye, she saw Bai Qingyan move as if she was about to wake up. She quickly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, turned her head to look at Bai Qingyan, tucked the corner of the quilt for Bai Qingyan, and saw her daughter’s eyelashes tremble as if she was about to wake up. Dong held back her tears, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she touched Bai Qingyan’s little face and head, with love in her eyes.
Bai Qingyan slowly opened her eyes, and her blurry vision gradually became clear. She first saw the flickering candlelight in the glass cover on the high table, and then heard her mother calling her name softly. Only then did she see clearly her mother with red eyes gently stroking her cheek.
Hearing that Bai Qingyan had woken up, Xiao Rongyan wanted to step forward, but when he saw Dong’s appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief and knelt there without moving.
She raised her hand… and gently placed her palm on the back of A Niang’s hand. She rubbed her childish face against A Niang’s palm and called her in a low voice: “A Niang…”
“Hey! Mother is here!” Mrs. Dong responded softly, holding back the sobs in her voice, “You scared Mother and the aunts to death! I told you to have a good rest but you didn’t listen. Can you handle all the complicated state affairs by yourself?!”
Fearing that Mrs. Dong would worry, Bai Qingyan avoided the main point and did not tell Mrs. Dong about the discomfort she felt before she lost consciousness. She only said, “I’m sorry to have worried you, mother. I’ve had a good sleep and I’m feeling much better now. Don’t worry, mother.”
Doctor Hong also came forward and sat on the footstool he had just used to take, and took Bai Qingyan’s pulse with his brows tightly furrowed.
Bai Qingyan saw Xiao Rongyan kneeling beside him out of the corner of his eye, and while he felt puzzled… he also realized that his mother might already know Xiao Rongyan’s identity as the Ninth Prince of Dayan.
Originally, Bai Qingyan wanted to find an opportunity to talk to A Niang about this matter, but the Great Zhou was just established and there were many things to be done. State affairs and government affairs were complicated, and Bai Qingyan was too busy to tell A Niang about it.
“The pulse is temporarily stable…” Doctor Hong looked up at Bai Qingyan, swallowed the rest of his words, stood up and walked aside, seemingly unwilling to say more.
“Don’t be angry, Doctor Hong. I will make sure to rest well in the future.” Bai Qingyan propped himself up, and Mrs. Dong hurriedly put a hidden bag behind Bai Qingyan’s back.
She glanced at Xiao Rongyan, knowing that her mother probably knew about it, so she held Dong’s hand and asked, “Mother, why did you let Xiao Rongyan kneel?”
“Abao, do you feel better?” Xiao Rongyan asked in a low voice, but because of Mrs. Dong, he did not dare to step forward and just knelt obediently.
Hearing Bai Qingyan calling Murong Yan “A Yan”, Dong was so angry that she almost couldn’t help herself. She controlled her emotions and asked her: “Do you know you are pregnant?”
Bai Qingyan looked surprised.
Doctor Hong cleared his throat and said, “She is indeed pregnant. Although she is still a little pregnant, this pulse… I can’t be wrong.”
Bai Qingyan had never thought that she would be able to have children in this life. When she was injured, even Doctor Hong said that she was lucky to be able to survive, and she was afraid that she would not have the fate of having children.
