Chapter 509

After Mu Mingtang was confirmed to be pregnant, the atmosphere in the house changed completely and everyone was beaming with joy. The servants were worried about the Princess’s lack of appet.i.te that day, but they couldn’t be happier as of now. The servants swapped Mu Mingtang’s tea for a fresh one and gently placed a soft pillow behind her waist, “Your Highness, you have to be even more careful since you are carrying a child. We cannot afford for you to be worn out.”

Mu Mingtang didn’t bother with all these troublesome things in the first place, but now, the servants were ushering about as if they were preparing to face some sort of formidable enemy. This made Mu Mingtang dumbfounded as they appeared to be more frantic than she was, “No need for all that. The little Taoist priest also said this afternoon that I’m just slightly weak when it comes to my physical state and blood. As long as I move around more and take good care of myself, I’ll be fine.”

“But there’s no reason to not be careful,” The servants remained persistent and even refused to let Mu Mingtang hold a cup of tea. In the end, she had someone taking care of her every need and ended up having nothing better to do than to rub her little belly in annoyance, “You all really know how to torment a person.”

Although she said this, her eyes were full of joy. This was her and Xie Xuanchen’s child. Mu Mingtang couldn’t help but wonder whether this child was a boy or a girl, whose temperament did the child take over and what sort of genetics were inherited?

Xie Xuanchen’s temper alone was noisy enough. If a smaller version of him was added to the family in the future, she might not be able to take it.

Mu Mingtang was still depressed before, but after learning that she was pregnant, her mood instantly improved. When the servants saw that Mu Mingtang was smiling and her entire frame being shrouded in a soft hue of light, they were both relieved and regretful, “It’s a pity that His Highness has gone on an expedition and is not at home. If His Highness was to find out that the Princess is pregnant, who knows how happy he would be…?”

Mu Mingtang also felt a little saddened when she thought of Xie Xuanchen, but she quickly encouraged herself, “It doesn’t matter; it would not be too late to tell him when he comes back. Maybe by then, the child will be able to understand the sounds of the outside world.”

At this moment, the front line knew nothing about what was going on beyond the war.

The moon was not visible tonight and the stars were dim. The vast and gentle horizon was hidden in the darkness as if it were a giant beast, devouring those who were heading toward it.

Ye Luyan looked at the endless darkness and sighed deeply.

He won many battles against the Ye Dynasty and almost overturned its imperial capital. Victories boosted his self-confidence as Ye Luyan became arrogant and was convinced that he should achieve his ambition and hegemony that he always desired.

So, Ye Luyan secretly arranged for someone to shoot Ye Luji in front of the battle line. In turn, he would frame Xie Xuanchen, actively provoking a war between them. Ye Luji had caused such a big mess for Beirong and didn’t have much of a reputation left. If it hadn’t been for him, Ye Luyan would have seized the capital by now. It’s a pity that Empress Dowager Xiao doted on her youngest son and forced Ye Luyan to retreat regardless of Beirong’s fate that was almost turned for the better.
