“Rest assured, General Liu’s life is no longer in danger. However, if you don’t take medicine soon, your life will indeed be at risk.”

After saying this, Jiang Peihuan turned to Cheng Yang and said softly, “Give the medicine to General Wan. In the coming days, you will be responsible for his medical care.”

“Yes.”

Cheng Yang had no objections to Jiang Peihuan’s arrangement.

By the time Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye returned to their mansion, it was already evening. After having a casual dinner, Jiang Peihuan collapsed onto her bed. Having traveled for several days, and after all the events in An Zhou, she was utterly exhausted.

Not long after she lay down, Jiang Peihuan felt a cold presence approaching. Opening her eyes, she saw Xiao Nanye lying next to her. He reached out, pulled her into his embrace, and then gently kissed her.

“Huan Er.”

Xiao Nanye had once scoffed at the saying, “A day apart feels like three autumns.” But now, he truly understood its sentiment. His breath was warm, instantly dispelling the initial cold. However, upon seeing the intense heat in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan immediately gripped his hand.

“Xiao Nanye, did you…?”

Seeing her sudden action, confusion flickered in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.

She whispered, “Didn’t you receive the letter I sent you?”

“What letter? You wrote to me?”

From his response, Jiang Peihuan knew he hadn’t received it. After a moment, she said softly, “Xiao Nanye, I’m pregnant.”

Her words were quiet, but they rang clearly in Xiao Nanye’s ears. He was stunned. “Huan Er, what did you say?”

She repeated, “I said, I’m pregna–”

Before she could finish, he embraced her tightly. Holding her, Xiao Nanye felt the warmth of her fingertips and whispered, “Huan Er, this isn’t a dream, right? You’re really here.”

Jiang Peihuan felt like the man beside her was trembling. Suddenly, Xiao Nanye released her, carefully touching her belly, “Did I… did I hurt the baby by holding you?”

His concern was evident. She smiled and shook her head, “No. But you can’t…”. Her voice trailed off shyly towards the end.

Xiao Nanye paused for a moment, then earnestly said, “Don’t worry. Until the child is born, I won’t touch you again.” Still, when they slept, he carefully held her in his arms.

In Xiao Nanye’s embrace, lulled by his unique scent, Jiang Peihuan soon fell asleep. But for Xiao Nanye, the excitement kept him awake all night.

The next day, when Jiang Changbai tried to visit Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye stopped him at the door.

“King Cheng, did you go another night without sleep?”

Noticing the bloodshot eyes of Xiao Nanye, Jiang Changbai couldn’t help but comment.

Hearing his words, Xiao Nanye nodded.

Upon seeing him nod, Jiang Changbai’s eyes were full of confusion. When he noticed Xiao Nanye occasionally breaking into smiles, his bewilderment deepened.

“King Cheng, could it be that you…” have lost your mind?

“Elder brother, Huan Er is pregnant. I’m about to become a father. I’m going to have a child soon.”

“Did you just said Huan Er Is pregnant?”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Changbai, so startled he momentarily forgot the formal way of addressing Xiao Nanye, grabbed his hand.

Seeing his nod, Jiang Changbai’s eyes were filled with excitement.

By the time Han Feng returned, he found his master and Jiang Changbai laughing like fools.

Upon witnessing this scene, Han Feng was stunned.

“What are you standing here for?”

Ye Xiao, coming over, saw the dumbstruck Han Feng.

“Ye Xiao, look at our master and the young general. Have they…” taken the wrong medicine?

Following Han Feng’s gaze, Ye Xiao took one look at the two and immediately understood.

Facing Han Feng, Ye Xiao said plainly, “The Queen is pregnant.”

Having said this, she headed to the room.

Seeing Ye Xiao, Xiao Nanye stopped her immediately, “Don’t disturb Huan Er. Let her continue sleeping.”

“Your Highness, the Queen instructed me earlier that she needs medicine today.”

Although Ye Xiao used to be Xiao Nanye’s secret guard, since he sent her to serve Jiang Peihuan, her loyalty has been solely to Jiang Peihuan.

While Xiao Nanye and Ye Xiao were talking, Jiang Peihuan inside had already awakened.

“Ye Xiao?”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Ye Xiao instinctively wanted to enter, but someone was faster.

Inside, as Jiang Peihuan was about to get up, a hand held her steady.

“Huan Er, be careful.”

Seeing Xiao Nanye being overly cautious, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Xiao Nanye, you don’t have to be this careful. I…”

“No, you’re pregnant now, you must be cautious everywhere.”

Before Jiang Peihuan could finish, Xiao Nanye gently interrupted her.

Subsequently, he carefully helped Jiang Peihuan up. Just as she was about to bend down to put on her shoes, she saw him already kneeling in front of her.

“Xiao Nanye?”

Seeing him pick up the embroidered shoes, Jiang Peihuan quickly spoke up.

In her heart, Jiang Peihuan was rather traditional. Who was Xiao Nanye? He was the imperial uncle, revered by everyone. How could she let such a man kneel before her to put on her shoes?

However, he already held her ankle.

Carefully placing the blue embroidered shoes on her feet, he then helped her up.

At the entrance, Jiang Changbai, Ye Xiao, and Han Feng were all stunned.

Finally, it was only when Jiang Peihuan saw Xiao Nanye pick up her clothes, she hurriedly said to Ye Xiao at the door, “Ye Xiao, come and help me dress.”

“Yes.”

Although Xiao Nanye wanted to help Jiang Peihuan dress, her attire was quite intricate, and he wasn’t quite familiar with it.

However, as Ye Xiao was dressing Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye was closely watching.

When Jiang Peihuan sat in front of the dressing table, she could see from the mirror that his gaze was constantly on her..
