It was already night when Daohua woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, Xiao Yeyang came over attentively: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

A series of questions made Daohua feel a little dizzy: "Don't worry, I'm just tired these days. I just need to rest for a while." After saying that, he sat up.

Xiao Yeyang quickly brought a pillow for Daohua to lean on: "You, you are so careless about your body, do you know that you are pregnant?"

Daohua was stunned when she was asked, and it took her a few seconds to recover: "Am I pregnant?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded: "It's been more than a month since Doctor Ge took your pulse."

Daohua stroked her belly, a little unresponsive.

She's pregnant again?!

Xiao Yeyang warned: "Doctor Ge said that you have stayed up for several nights in a row, you are very tired, you have some fetal gas, and you need to rest for a while."

Daohua quickly asked: "It won't affect the child, right?"

Seeing Daohua's frightened face, Xiao Yeyang quickly reassured her: "Don't worry, Doctor Ge said, you are in good health and there is nothing serious. Just have a good rest."

Daohua breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Guo Ruomei came over with the white fungus and bird's nest porridge she had cooked herself. As soon as she arrived, she told Daohua to take good care of herself and not get tired.

Daohua listened obediently.

Xiao Yeyang brought the porridge to Daohua: "I will go to my uncle's place to pick up the rice, and you and your mother will chat."

Daohua nodded.

After her son left, Guo Ruomei looked at her daughter-in-law's pale face and couldn't help but said: "You are also careless. This is not your first child. How come you didn't notice it at all?"

Daohua smiled bitterly: "I really didn't realize it. First, Master was injured and Daozi was arrested. After finally coming back, Master's condition worsened again. Even if I felt uncomfortable, I thought it was because I was tired."

Guo Ruomei sighed: "There have been a lot of things recently, but fortunately God bless me and the child is fine."

As he spoke, he paused.

"Let Daozi sleep at my place these days, so as not to cause trouble to you."

Daohua showed hesitation: "I feel relieved that Mom is taking Daozi, but the little guy has just experienced being arrested, so he must have been affected to some extent. Now is the time when he lacks a sense of security, so we should let him follow us.

Go to sleep."

"Besides, if I let him go to your place as soon as I got pregnant, it might make him think that Yeyang and I don't want him anymore after we have younger siblings, which is not good for him."

After hearing this, Guo Ruomei felt it made sense: "You are still thoughtful, I just wanted to let you have a good rest, but I forgot to consider Daozi's feelings."

Daohua smiled and said: "Mom is doing it for my own good, I know it. After a while, I will become heavier and heavier, Daohua will definitely have to trouble you to help me."

Guo Ruomei smiled: "Why bother? I'm happy to take care of my grandson."

After that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, and when Xiao Yeyang came back with rice, Guo Ruomei left.

"Mom, am I going to have a little brother or sister?"

Daozi walked to the bed and carefully touched Daohua's belly.

On the way back, his father warned him several times that his mother had a little brother and sister in her belly, so he should not disturb her.

Daohua asked with a smile: "Does Daozi like a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Daozi tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked instead: "If you have younger siblings, do you like me more, or your younger siblings?"

Xiao Yeyang heard on the sidelines and couldn't help but smile and pat his son's butt: "You brat, you used to steal your mother from your father, and now you want to steal it from your younger brothers and sisters?"

Dao Zi ignored Xiao Yeyang and looked at Dao Hua stubbornly: "Mom, you haven't answered me yet."

Daohua: "Can't Mom like them all?"

Daozi thought for a while: "You can like them all, but there must be someone you like more. Just like, I like to eat cakes and fruits, but my favorite is meat."

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, who shrugged and spread his hands as if helpless.

Daohua rubbed her son's head: "My mother likes Daozi the most, because Daozi is my elder brother and will help my mother take care of her younger brothers and sisters."

Dao Zi's eyes lit up: "Really? Mom, you can't lie. Let's pull the hook." After saying that, he stretched out his chubby hand and pulled Dao Hua's hook.

After pulling the hook, Daozi smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will help you look after your younger brothers and sisters."

Daohua smiled: "Then thank Daozi."

Dao Zi puffed up his little chest, clenched his fists and said, "I will be a good brother." If his younger brothers and sisters were disobedient, he would use the martial arts taught by Grandpa Chu to defeat them.

After letting Guyu take Daozi down to wash up, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Is everything okay over there, Master?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "My uncle's condition is getting better. Knowing that you are pregnant has made me more energetic. It's different to have sustenance."

Before they came to Xiliang, they had made an agreement with their uncle that Yiyi's second child, regardless of gender, would be adopted by his uncle.

Daohua felt a little unsure: "Master is the Duke of the country. If I really give birth to a daughter, can I let my daughter inherit the Duke's palace?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Uncle Huang has always been in debt to my mother-in-law and uncle. If my uncle really wants our daughter, Uncle Huang will compromise."

As he said this, he fell silent, thinking that his daughter would be adopted by his uncle, he still felt a little reluctant to give up.

Daohua didn't think so. Anyway, her master lived with them, her daughter grew up with her, and she could get a title, so she felt there was nothing wrong with it.

......

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

When the emperor looked at the letter sent back by Xiao Yeyang, his expression suddenly turned gloomy. The ministers who were summoned to discuss political affairs in the palace were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word.

The eldest princes were also there. In the end, the eldest prince couldn't keep his temper and wanted to show off in front of the emperor. He asked earnestly: "Father, what happened?"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "The sand bandits are rampant in Xiliang. My uncle was shot by a sand bandit and is now seriously injured."

Hearing this, the eldest princes immediately showed angry faces: "How did Xiao Yeyang protect my uncle? How could he get my uncle hurt?"

The emperor glanced at the eldest princes and said nothing.

He knew the situation in Xiliang. Every once in a while, Jin Lingwei from Xiliang would send news to the capital. He knew that governing Xiliang was not easy.

The emperor was worried about Gu Jian and had no intention of discussing political affairs, so he waved his hand: "You can step back."

Everyone did not dare to say anything and silently exited the main hall.

As soon as they came out, people from all sides soon received the news that Gu Jian was not good.

This matter has made many people think.

Concubine An immediately called the eldest prince to Zhongcui Palace.

The eldest prince saluted Concubine An: "Concubine, did you ask me to come here for something?"

Concubine An looked at Long Zhangfengzi's son, smiled and asked him to sit down, and then said: "The Duke Fu is critically ill, what are your plans?"

The eldest prince thought for a while and said: "My father values ​​Duke Fu, and I know this. But Duke Fu is far away in Xiliang, so even if I want to express my filial piety, I have no chance."

Concubine An shook her head: "You, you still think too little. My mother-in-law asks you, if the auxiliary Duke has no heirs, what will happen to his title when he dies?"

Hearing this, the eldest prince's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up excitedly: "What do you mean, concubine?"

Concubine An: "You have two legitimate sons. The eldest son will inherit your family business in the future, but what about the youngest son? Have you made any plans for him?"

The eldest prince started walking, and after a while, he looked at Concubine An: "Does the concubine want to adopt the youngest son of her son to the Duke of Fuguo?"

Concubine An smiled and nodded: "That is a title that can be held for three generations."

The eldest prince frowned: "My son is willing, but the eldest prince's concubine may be reluctant to part with it."

Concubine An's face turned cold: "Stupid, people say that Duke Fu is critically ill. Even if he survives this time, how many more years will he live? Your son will still be your son, just let him take the title of nobility.

Why can’t I understand such a simple truth?"

The eldest prince nodded: "What mother and concubine said is that I will go back immediately and talk to the eldest prince and concubine about this matter." After saying that, he hesitated and said, "Mother and concubine, can father and the emperor agree?"

Concubine An smiled: "The emperor attaches great importance to the Gu family, how could he just watch the Gu family lose its inheritance? Go back and tell the eldest princess that the other matters will be left to the mother and concubine."

Hearing this, the eldest prince looked relaxed and happy.

Since the fall of the Jiang family, although the father has not deposed the queen, the affairs in the harem have now been left to the fourth concubine to take care of.

The mother-in-law is a noble concubine and the first of the four concubines. There is nothing she can't do, which makes her the first of all the princes.
