Ming Qi quickly brought the breakfast and took the initiative to call the palace maid.
"Ask the imperial kitchen to send you a crystal bag."
Natu didn't stop him and just lowered his head to drink porridge and eat.
Ming Qi sat opposite her, looking at her with a touch of relief in his thin eyes.
When Na Tu finished eating, Ming Qi handed him a glass of hot water at the right time.
"I know you always like to drink tea, but now... your physical condition doesn't allow it, so I changed it to water."
Natu glanced at him, took it, took a sip, and then put it down again.
She said quietly: "You must be living a good life these days, right?"
"I heard from the palace servants that Emperor Qi is working on arranging a palace for you as a prince."
"I think it won't take long before you will be recognized as the heir of the Qi Kingdom and enjoy glory and wealth."
Ming Qi took a deep breath: "No matter what my father does to me, I will never abandon you."
"I have also expressed my intention to my father. If you want to return to the Western Regions, I will go back with you."
His eyes slowly lowered and fell on Natu's abdomen.
"If you don't want this child, the imperial doctors in the palace can also provide you with a harmless way to remove the child."
"But if you want it, Natu, I will be responsible to the end."
Natu's emerald-like eyes looked at him quietly.
It was as if she was thinking whether what he said was true or false.
After a while, Natu said: "My child, I will stay, but what you owe me will be counted separately, so I have a few requirements for you."
Ming Qi stared: "You say it, I agree."
Natu looked at him: "The child should be born with my surname. This is the first priority; I will stay in Daqi for three months after giving birth to the child, and then return to the Western Regions. During this period, I need you to provide me with
Asylum, that’s second.”
"There's one last thing."
"Take care of me until next year. After I give birth, I will take the child back to the Western Regions by myself. You can stay here and you don't have to follow me anymore."
Ming Qi suddenly frowned: "I can promise you the first two, but why the last one?"
Natu looked at him calmly: "I can't explain to my father that the emperor of Daqi placed all the details around me."
"If you let the father know that the father of the child is you, he will not accept this grandson."
Ming Qi was startled: "You mean, don't tell anyone that the child is mine?"
Natu looked away and turned her head to look elsewhere.
"I don't want to answer your questions now. I've already said what I need to say. You still have time to think about it. If you agree, come back to me."
Ming Qi stood up, his thin eyes were dark and cold, and his expression was complicated.
He looked at Natu for a long time before saying sadly: "You, have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The door was closed again.
Natu lowered her head in pain.
Gu Nuoer told her that Ming Qi said she was everything to him.
For her sake, he argued with reason in front of the fierce Emperor Qi.
Natu also wanted to be cruel and get rid of the child.
But, she can't do it.
But there was such a feud between her and Ming Qi, how to resolve it?
The road ahead seemed to Natu to be precarious.
…
Master Feng adopted a daughter-in-law who looked very much like his deceased biological daughter.

And invited famous families to come to the banquet.
Gu Nuoer and Ye Siming were also invited.
But when the time came, neither of them showed up.
