Later, Murong Jie came back.
After meeting Boss Dao, he also learned what happened in Beimo.
He also agreed with Zi'an's idea and asked Gao Fengtian to help inquire about the news first. If the situation is not good, he would send people to the border town at the junction of Da Zhou and Bei Mo to wait. If any changes occur, they can rescue Qin Zhou immediately.
Murong Jie suggested that the Night King's help was needed in this matter. The crisis at Xiehan Tower could be resolved by letting the people of Xiehan Tower withdraw to the border town first.
Zi'an said happily: "This is a great suggestion."
Murong Jie looked at Zi'an and sighed softly, "If Qin Zhou was a man, I would be jealous."
Zi'an's eyebrows curved, "Silly boy, Qin Zhou and I are close friends who have experienced life and death together. If anything happens to me, she will do everything she can to rescue me. We relied on her in Qingzhou."
Murong Jie hugged her in his arms, "Qin Zhou really does protect you sincerely, and I am relieved."
There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He had done so many drastic things now. Once the emperor came to power, he would definitely counterattack. If he could not avoid it in time, he would most likely die in the capital.
Therefore, he was helping Qin Zhou and also helping himself, hoping that Qin Zhou would be able to help Zi'an in the future.
Now, he is accustomed to not telling Zi'an about political affairs so as not to make her worry.
Before the New Year holiday, Murong Jie became increasingly busy. Sometimes he would go out in the morning and come back in the early hours of the morning.
There are still many substantive policies to be implemented in the military camp since the Empress Dowager came back to reorganize it. Murong Jie is now in power, so naturally he has to get military affairs in order first.
But no matter how late it is, he will come back to see Zi'an, even if it's just a glance or a kiss. Even if he has to run himself to death just for this glance and kiss, he has to come back.
It was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, one day before New Year's Eve. Murong Jie had not yet finished his work, but he promised Zi'an that he would come back for the New Year's Eve dinner.
In the past, the Murong family would have their New Year's Eve dinner in the palace, but this year they will not be doing so. The other princes also have their own arrangements, but Prince Li's family still said they would have their New Year's Eve dinner in the palace.
Prince Li meant that the New Year’s Eve dinner must be eaten with family, but who is in charge in the palace
So, Ah Man tried her best to persuade him to go to the Regent's Palace, saying that Murong Jie was also his family, and if he wanted to have dinner with his family, he should accompany Murong Jie.
Prince Li started talking about etiquette again, saying that he was older than Murong Jie, and if they wanted to have New Year's Eve dinner together, they had to go to Prince Li's mansion.
Ah Man brought up the matter of Zi An's pregnancy, saying that it was not good to ask a pregnant woman with a big belly to run around, and only then did she convince him to come.
On New Year's Eve, Murong Jie came back very early as expected, and sat in the house with Zi'an and Prince Li and his wife, talking.
Zi'an's belly was exactly five months old. Murong Jie had been waiting for fetal movement, but it never happened. He smiled and said to Zi'an, "Our child may be a little slow."
Zi An said angrily, "How can you say that about your own child? No matter how stupid he is, he is still your own child, isn't he?"
"It's better to be a little dull. Being smart is not likable." Murong Jie said with a smile.
"You have to love your own child, even if it's a pig."
The Night King walked in from outside the yard, dressed in green, looking dusty, with messy hair and a handsome face covered in dust.
Zi'an stood up quickly, "You're back."
Ye Wang sat down, and Xiaosun hurriedly served him tea. He took the tea and took a big sip. Seeing Prince Li looking at him, he restrained his expression and straightened his posture. "Third brother, I have traveled for several days to come back to have New Year's Eve dinner with you. Don't be picky."
"Who is picking on you? We know you work hard." Prince Li said.
Although Prince Li was slow to realize many things and was very stubborn, he could see what was happening right now.
"How?" Murong Jie asked.
Ye Wang said: "Everything has been arranged. Gao Fengtian has been told, and the old prince has been asked to treat Princess An and Prince Luo."
"You asked old Prince An Ran to go?" Ah Man frowned, "But, doesn't he want to look after Zi An's fetus and Han Shan..."
She looked up and saw that Sun Fang'er's poison had not been cured over at Hanshan. She felt uneasy until this matter was done.
Zi'an said, "It's okay. My condition is stable now, and I'm a doctor. I'm just taking care of my body. Why would I use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?"
Ah Man burst out laughing, "How can you talk like that?"
Ah Man looked at her belly and sighed softly, "I'm afraid I will never be a mother in this lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Prince Li held her hand without saying a word.
This blockhead doesn't understand romance, but he loves his wife very much and won't let her suffer any grievance.
Zi'an asked, "Have you ever consulted the imperial physician?"
Ah Man said, "I've checked it out. It's my problem. I've been recovering from it."
Zi'an knows that there are many reasons for infertility, and simple conditioning may not work.
However, there is currently no scientific equipment that can detect the cause of Aman's infertility.
Ah Man glanced at Prince An and said softly, "Actually, when Concubine Xi said that he would appoint a concubine if he had no son, I also thought about it. Otherwise, I should find one for him, at least give birth to a child. I can't bear to let him accompany me alone for the rest of his life."
Prince Li snorted, "Bullshit, if you feel lonely now, will you not be lonely after having a child? Loneliness has nothing to do with children. How many children have you seen who can accompany their parents for a lifetime?"
Ah Man said, "Why not? Other people have sons to take care of them in their old age. Who can you rely on when you are old?"
"You have money and a title, but are you worried that no one will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life? The queue can reach the palace gate." said Prince Li.
"You have a title, but others don't? What's the point of those who are five generations younger than you coveting your title? The blood relationship has faded."
Ye Wang said coldly: "Look, sister-in-law Qi is also a fertile person. If she can give birth to more children, she can be adopted by the third brother."
Murong Jie immediately said, "No, Zi'an can only have this one child. I will not be happy if you have another one."
"Why?" Ah Man looked at him in confusion, "Don't they say having more children means more blessings?"
"More children, more blessings? More children, more troubles, right?" Murong Jie said indifferently.
Ah Man was stunned for a moment, then said with a slightly worried look on her face: "If I can get pregnant, I don't expect too many, just one is good enough, no matter if it's a son or a daughter, I'll be happy if I have one."
The Night King suddenly became sad when he heard the topic, so he asked, "Have you asked Sister Seven to check your pulse?"
"I've asked Old Prince An Ran to check my pulse before, and he always said that our destiny hasn't arrived yet. How could this doctor talk about destiny? Maybe he doesn't want to tell the truth because he's afraid that I'll be sad." Ah Man said.
"Anyway, the meal hasn't started yet, so let's ask Sister Seven to take a look." King Ye said.
Ah Man looked at Zi An and said, "How about you help me take a look?"
Zi'an said, "Okay, but we have to go inside and talk."
Ah Man asked, "Do we have to go inside to diagnose the pulse? It's not like we can't see anyone."
Zi'an smiled and said, "Besides taking your pulse, I have some questions for you."
