Killer Pretty Queen

Chapter 286 The Crown Princess Is Pregnant

"Go back to the house and lie down, go!" Xiao Ke's voice was so loud that Xiao Li was startled.

"But that Cao Mo..."

"When I brought you here to visit the doctor in Fangyaoju yesterday, I happened to meet him. If something happened in the army early in the morning, I asked him to take care of you. Weren't you two very close when you were young?"

"I'll have a conversation with Ah Li." Xiao Ke led Xiao Li in, pushed her to sit by the bed, and turned to Cao Mo.

Cao Mo looked at Xiao Li, nodded and left, Xiao Li felt relieved.

"What is so serious?"

"From now on, you are prohibited from running around, and you are not allowed to be tired!" Xiao Ke's face was extremely serious, and he had never seen him so nervous when he was alive and kicking before.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Li felt something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

"It's been more than a month since you were pregnant, didn't you find out at all?"

Xiao Li was speechless, only feeling that there was nothing else rumbling in her head.

The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, Xiao Li sat on the couch on the window sill and watched the dark green leaves in winter shining in the sun.

Because her eyes hurt a little, she simply squinted her eyes, Qin Jian went to get a warm blanket, and saw Xiao Li frowning when she walked by, so she stepped forward to put down the curtain.

"No need." Xiao Li said lazily, her face was a little radiant because of the light from the flickering leaves.

"Princess Concubine has been depressed for the past few days after returning from Fangyao Residence, but she has to take care of herself." Shi Hua took the bird's nest sent by the General's Mansion, and walked aside and said.

"Who sent this?"

"I don't know. It said it was sent by the General's Mansion, but I didn't specify it. I guess it was sent by Aunt Liu and the second young lady."

"Take it out and pour it." Xiao Li frowned, feeling a surge in her heart, she wanted to vomit but couldn't.

"Prince Princess, don't hurt yourself." Qin Jian hurriedly stepped forward, handed Xiao Li a sweet and sour orange, and turned to Shi Hua, "Princess Princess said it's down, so let's do it."

Shi Hua walked out obediently, Qin Jian patted Xiao Li's back, and said slowly.

"The Crown Princess doesn't want others to know that she is pregnant, but after all, it cannot be concealed."

Xiao Li felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and then said: "Apart from brother, Shihua and you, does anyone else know about this?"

"No, it's just that if it goes on like this, it will be seen sooner or later."

"No problem, I will tell the Shangshu Mansion and the General Mansion in the past few days, saying that because I am concerned about the prince's illness, I will stay behind closed doors, and I will explain to the Shang Shu Mansion that the books for managing the accounts will be delivered to my room."

"Crown Princess..."

"I know I will take good care of my body." Xiao Li raised her head and smiled slightly at Qin Jian. "Of course I know, not only for myself, but also for its father and its grandmother."

Only then did Qin Jian feel relieved, although he never asked why he was hiding it like this, even Madam Xiao who was far away in Qingzhou refused to tell her, but their princess and concubine were always wise, so it must be right to do so.

Xiao Li rested in the room for half a month, and she was accompanied by Qin Jian every day. Occasionally, when she was tired from reading, she would read to herself with Qin Jian. to teach her.

There was no news of Huangfu Haotian for half a month, and a kind of anxiety gradually arose in Xiao Li's heart.

The spies sent out to investigate did not find Huangfu Haotian's whereabouts. Although Xiao Li was calm as usual every day, the worrying day after day made her feel irritable, and her temper was not as good as before.

The emperor sent someone to come and see Xiao Li sickly lying on the bed, and rewarded some precious medicinal materials, just because he didn't dare to publicize the disappearance of the newly established crown prince, but he didn't dare to publish the imperial list all over the country, because Xiao Li's debt to Xiao Li in this matter is just that he has been rewarded more every day.

The general's mansion had no time to take care of it, and Xiao Chaogui also helped to find it, but there was no news. Xiao Ke knew that her sister was pregnant again, but because the day of leaving the court was approaching, she was also busy for a while, let alone Xiao Li. Ken asked him to tell others, so he kept the matter a secret.

It wasn't until the day before leaving Beijing that he had finished busying with military affairs, and then came to bid farewell to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li couldn't eat for the past few days, and was always dizzy. She lay on the bed and didn't want to move. Qin Jian saw that her complexion was not good, so she took her for a walk in the garden on a sunny day.

Xiao Li got tired after walking a few steps, Qin Jian brought a blanket and other things and set up a couch for her under the sun, Xiao Li didn't want to talk while lying down.

Qin Jian was a little anxious at this meeting, but he heard Shi Hua coming and whispering: "General Xiao Ke is here."

Before Qin Jian could speak, Xiao Li heard it and turned her head quickly.

"Call your brother in."

Shi Hua paused, then turned around to report, Qin Jian saw that the fox fur on Xiao Li's body had come down, and stepped forward to cover it for Xiao Li.

When Xiao Ke came in, she saw Xiao Li lying in the yard, her face was a little pale, taking advantage of the sunlight, she felt more and more icy and snowy, but her pair of agile eyes did not lose color at all, and her exquisite facial features were less than before. Noble and fierce, but unexpectedly gentle and soft at this moment.

"A Li, don't get up." Seeing Xiao Li get up, Xiao Ke rushed to hold her down.

"I'm fine, you all think I'm so delicate." Xiao Li said hard, but she still lay down obediently, watching Xiao Ke's face become stronger and braver after the weather, she felt a lot more comfortable.

"You are fine, but you have to take care of the baby in your stomach."

"She's not that squeamish, and she will definitely be a female general just like me in the future."

When Qin Jian heard it, he burst into a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Li hadn't shown such a cute look for a long time, she pouted and said angrily towards Qin Jian.

"The princess's words are a coincidence, but who knows that the woman in her belly is a female general, maybe she is as majestic as General Xiao!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ke's heart skipped a beat, just like herself...but it was not exhaustive, which made people feel a little nervous.

But Xiao Li didn't notice anything, he just wanted to beat the piano and sword.

"Look at what you said, I just like girls, it's my mother's little padded jacket."

"But I think the princess' belly must be a little prince."

"Hmph, how do you know?"

"I knew it."

"You have never been born again."

"I... won't talk to you anymore." Qin Jian blushed, seeing that Xiao Ke didn't pay attention to her embarrassment, she turned around quickly.

"I'm kidding you." Xiao Li hadn't felt so happy for a long time, and Xiao Ke realized it in a daze, and stretched out her hand to pull up Xiao Li's blanket and cover her body.

"I'm going back tomorrow." Xiao Ke's tone was somewhat bleak and worried.

"Don't worry brother, I will take care of myself."

Xiao Ke only felt that he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. After thinking for a long time, he finally handed over his personal jade pendant to Xiao Li.

"Brother, this?" Xiao Li was a little puzzled, but seeing his eyes, he still took it.

"Brother has nothing to give you. Now that you are a princess, naturally rewards are indispensable."

"Brother, don't say that..."

"A Li, this jade pendant was given to me by an old man when I was on the border, and the golden statue on it was consecrated. I don't know if it is really effective or I have something in my heart. I met it several times. Bad luck turned good, Ah Li is no more difficult and dangerous in the capital than outside the customs."
