Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon seeing Ye Xiao picking up the wooden comb, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “No need to comb a bun, just tie up my hair simply.”

“Yes.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Ye Xiao tied up her long hair and finally inserted a wooden hairpin.

This hairpin was a gift from Xiao Nanye to Jiang Peihuan when they were in the capital.

As Jiang Peihuan stood up, Xiao Nanye immediately approached and took her hand.

This act not only left Jiang Peihuan speechless, but Ye Xiao, upon seeing this, was also stunned.

If not for his unchanged face, Ye Xiao would have doubted whether this was the real King Cheng.

While Jiang Peihuan was getting ready, Jiang Changbai was waiting outside the courtyard.

Upon hearing a noise, he immediately turned around.

However, the scene before him left him speechless.

Xiao Nanye had one arm around Jiang Peihuan’s waist and held her hand with the other, treating her as if she was some fragile object.

Jiang Peihuan looked helpless.

No matter what she said, Xiao Nanye would agree, but still insisted on his own way.

“Your Highness, Huan Er is just pregnant, she’s not disabled. You don’t have to be so cautious.”

“How can I not be careful? The child Huan Er carries is my daughter.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Changbai was left speechless. At this moment, Han Feng couldn’t help but ask, “Master, how do you know that the child in the Queen’s womb is a princess?”

At this, Jiang Peihuan was also curious.

So, upon hearing Han Feng’s words, she turned her gaze to Xiao Nanye.

Meeting their gazes, Xiao Nanye casually said, “Because 1 like daughters, so the child in Peihuan’s womb must be a daughter.”

Han Feng was speechless.

Jiang Changbai was speechless.

Jiang Peihuan was speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Nanye, what if the child is a boy?”

She was just asking out of curiosity since the gender is a gift from heaven and not something they could decide.

But upon hearing her question, Xiao Nanye seemed lost in thought.

After a while, he whispered, “If it really is a son, then we’ll have another.”

“What if it’s another boy?”

Alright, Jiang Peihuan admitted she was being pedantic.

Yet, hearing this, Xiao Nanye was calm. He looked at Jiang Peihuan and suddenly smiled, “If so, then we won’t have any more.”

Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s puzzled expression, he softly added, “Then our son and I will protect you.”

Hearing his words, a gentle smile appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

However, this harmony was quickly interrupted by the loud voice of Wan Dashan.

“Queen Cheng, Queen…”

Soon, Jiang Peihuan saw Wan Dashan approaching. Seeing his robust appearance, she was somewhat surprised.

Under normal circumstances, Wan Dashan would need at least three days to recover.

It had only been a day, and Wan Dashan seemed completely fine.

“General Wan?”

“Greetings, Queen Cheng.”

“Your Highness, you’re here too?”

Approaching Jiang Peihuan, Wan Dashan saluted her and after greeting her, he then noticed Xiao Nanye.

Hearing his words, Xiao Nanye responded with a smirk, “It’s rare for you to notice me in your sight.”

“What are you talking about, Your Highness? My eyes are perfectly fine. How could I not see you?”

Xiao Nanye was speechless.

Jiang Peihuan, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but smile at these words. As Xiao Nanye’s expression grew increasingly stern, she quickly turned to Wan Dashan and said, “General Wan, you came looking for me. Is there something you need?”

“Yes, Queen. Aren’t you skilled in medicine? Today, I plan to head out of the city once again. I’m determined to slaughter those scoundrels. But I’m afraid they might poison me again, so I want you to accompany me.”

“No!”

Before Jiang Peihuan could reply, Xiao Nanye coldly interjected.

Without waiting for Wan Dashan’s response, he declared, “The Queen is pregnant; she cannot endure such rough conditions. Furthermore, the Queen came to An Zhou to treat the city’s inhabitants. Would you not have gone to battle today if the Queen hadn’t been here?”

Stunned by Xiao Nanye’s words, Wan Dashan was at a loss for words.

At this moment, Cheng Yang rushed over, exclaiming, “Master, it’s bad news. The soldiers have started vomiting.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan quickly followed Cheng Yang to the tent. Xiao Nanye went after them.

Upon arriving at the camp, Jiang Peihuan found that the soldiers’ conditions had worsened compared to the previous day. She immediately asked Han Feng, “Did you purchase all the herbs listed in the prescription I gave you last night?” “Yes, everything was purchased.”

“Cheng Yang, Ye Xiao, prepare the medicine.”

“Yes.”

While they prepared the medicine, Jiang Peihuan turned to Xiao Nanye, “Do you know where this plague originated?”

“In the city.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s reply, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “To eradicate this plague, we must first identify its source.”

“I’ll have someone investigate.”

After speaking, Xiao Nanye looked at Han Feng. Han Feng immediately responded, “I’ll look into it right away.”

An hour later, after the medicine was prepared, Jiang Peihuan, along with Ye Xiao and Cheng Yang, distributed it to the infected soldiers. For many, their vomiting subsided after consumption, but for others, especially those in more serious conditions, the effects were not evident. For this group, Jiang Peihuan meticulously treated them and prescribed new remedies.

Jiang Peihuan ended up spending the entire day in the camp. The food she ate was delivered by Jiang Changbao. Everyone was understanding of her dietary needs since she was pregnant. However, when Jiang Peihuan saw the chicken soup that Jiang Changbao had prepared, she softly remarked, “Elder Brother, given the current situation, there’s no need to prepare special meals for me.” “You’re pregnant now. Even if you don’t want to eat, the child in your womb needs nourishment.”

Hearing her words, Jiang Changbai, for once, declined her request.

Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to speak, Han Feng, who had been absent the entire day, appeared alongside Xiao Nanye.

“Do you have any news?”

Seeing them, Jiang Peihuan asked quietly.

Without speaking, Xiao Nanye simply nodded.

Shortly after, Jiang Peihuan accompanied Xiao Nanye to a house in the city. As they opened the door, she frowned..
