Murong Jie looked into her eyes and said, "Don't you always want to leave here?"
"But can you let this go?" Zi'an knew that he couldn't let it go. The burden on his shoulders was still very heavy.
"If he really pushes me to that point, I will either leave or rebel. If you were me, which path would you choose?"
"You can't rebel. Go? Where can you go..." Zi'an suddenly understood, "You want to go to the South Country. If he kills us all, you can use the South Country as your base and recruit soldiers from the South Country along the eastern Guangdong?"
"As long as I have enough troops, he won't dare to act rashly. No matter what he does, he won't start a civil war." Murong Jie said.
Zi'an held his hand in return, his heart filled with emotion, "Thank you for doing so much for me."
He was willing to leave the capital for her and put down his burden. She was already very happy. Now, he was preparing for her safety and security and making so many arrangements...
Murong Jie rubbed her hair lovingly, then sighed softly, "Silly girl, if you say it's just for you, it's not entirely true. Perhaps I am tired of this endless day. When will it end? It's better for me to find a quiet place, far away from the capital, and stop asking about the affairs of the court."
Zi'an knew that if he made this decision, he would definitely have arranged his future affairs and would also strive to decide on the candidate for the crown prince. Therefore, the choice of the crown prince might be the last controversy.
"As for the candidate for the crown prince, have you confirmed that it will be the third prince?" Zi'an asked.
Murong Jie nodded, "Axin and Xiao Sanzi are both suitable candidates, but Axin doesn't want to be the crown prince. He is used to living a carefree life, so Xiao Sanzi is the only one left to choose."
"Yeah." Zi'an didn't give too many opinions. She definitely didn't see the future situation of the court as well as Murong Jie.
However, thinking of how Concubine Mei had made great efforts to save Sun Fang'er and overthrow Concubine Yi, she said, "This time, Concubine Mei really exceeded my expectations. Originally, I had asked Eunuch Sun to help out in the palace, but I didn't expect that she didn't need it and could handle it all by herself. From planning to implementation, she didn't make any mistakes. It's really amazing."
"Yes, Concubine Mei also surprised me this time. However, she is actually the best candidate to deal with Concubine Yi. Concubine Yi has never been prepared for her and has always looked down on her. If you underestimate the enemy, you will surely lose."
Murong Jie paused after finishing his words, "This time, Concubine Mei must step up to the top. She deserves the position of Imperial Concubine. Moreover, a mother is honored by her son, and a son is honored by his mother. If Concubine Mei can take the position of Imperial Concubine, San'er will deserve to be the crown prince."
Yes, all this was done just to make Concubine Mei the emperor.
After returning to the mansion, Nanny Yang quickly prepared the chaise longue and let Zi'an lie on it, and reminded him, "The carriage is a bit bumpy, you need to rest for at least an hour before you can get up."
Zi'an smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired."
"Although you are a doctor, it's right for you to listen to me on these matters." The nanny advised, and then told Xiaosun to prepare hot water to wipe Zi'an's face and wash his hands.
Zi'an put his feet down. Mammy saw it from the corner of her eye and immediately frowned, "Lie down."
"I have to go… "
"You are not allowed to go anywhere." Nanny hurriedly helped her up, "Just tell me what you want to do and I will ask someone to do it."
"I need to pee!" Zi'an said helplessly.
Mammy said, "Okay, I'll bring in the chamber pot."
Murong Jie, who was standing by, was stunned. "What's going on? You have to pee on the couch? Zi'an, are you feeling unwell?"
"No!" Zi'an quickly gave her a comforting look, lest Lao Qi think she had a stomachache. He said to Nanny, "Look at you, you're so nervous, did you scare the prince?"
The nanny probably felt that she was making a fuss out of nothing, so she said awkwardly, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Zi'an was too lazy to object. Ever since she became pregnant, Nanny had become a master of nervousness. Even the Seventh Brother was not as nervous as her.
However, men have always been careless about these things.
Especially for a general like Lao Qi, who had seen everything on the battlefield? And he also knew that she was a secret agent before, so she didn't have to be so cautious just to get pregnant.
She actually liked Lao Qi's attitude. At least, Lao Qi didn't put any pressure on her.
She was really overwhelmed when facing Madam and Xiaosun. She was afraid that if she made any mistake, these two people would collapse.
Murong Jie watched the nanny help Zi'an out of the door. He looked at Ni Rong in confusion, "Why does this nanny treat the princess like a treasure?"
Ni Rong said: "She has always cherished the princess."
Murong Jie thought about it and said, "That's right!"
But he always felt something was wrong.
Xiaosun brought some hot water and he asked Xiaosun, "How is the princess' health lately?"
Xiaosun put the basin on the table and said, "My Lord, the princess has been doing well recently. She eats well, sleeps well, eats four meals a day, and can eat five steamed buns in one go."
Murong Jie was relieved, but he couldn't help complaining: "Why is the nanny so nervous? She made me think something happened to the princess."
Xiaosun burst out laughing, "Mammy is always nervous, don't worry, Your Majesty. If anything happens, don't you still have Old Prince An Ran?"
Ni Rong said: "Did old Prince An Ran come here specifically for the princess this time? He was drugged by Concubine Yi before, it was really thrilling!"
"Isn't it? I'm still scared when I think about it now." Xiao Sun said.
Murong Jie frowned. This kind of thing must be prevented from happening again.
When Zi'an came back from urinating, the nanny forced him to sit on the chaise longue again.
"You take a rest first. I'll go to my second brother's place." Murong Jie said.
Zi'an raised his head and asked, "By the way, have you told my second brother about Mother's matter? Tell him not to act rashly. I will tell you the details after I go to the palace and meet Concubine Mei."
"I am going to appease him. If not, he would have brought people into the palace long ago." Murong Jie said.
Zi'an hummed, "Then go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."
"Then I'll go." Murong Jie kissed her on the forehead, then hugged her again, "I don't want to go out, I just want to accompany you."
"Let's take care of the business first. I'll wait for you to have a midnight snack in the evening." Zi'an said with a smile.
She now eats four meals a day, including night. She knows she should control herself, but she is still hungry.
Murong Jie's eyebrows widened and he chuckled, "Okay, let's have a midnight snack tonight."
The midnight snack he mentioned was different from what she mentioned.
But he thought that what Zi'an said was the same as what he thought.
Zi'an felt a little sleepy after reading for a while, so the nanny gave her a thin blanket and let her sleep.
"Go to bed quickly. I've made your favorite dishes tonight," said the nanny softly.
Zi'an rested his head on the soft pillow, looked at Mammy, and said contentedly, "Mammy, I am so happy to have you by my side."
Although she also had feelings for Yuan Cuiyu, she was never by her side often, and her feelings for her were not as close as those with the nanny.
Mammy smiled so hard that her eyes crinkled and tears welled up in her eyes. "My silly princess."
