Rubbing her stomach, she once again felt that it was unreal.
She remembered that Xiao Lin had some reaction back then. Why wasn't there any reaction this time?
Was it because it wasn't time yet, or was he too strong?
If he was so strong, it would be great if it was a son. If it was a daughter, it wouldn't be very likable.
However, she hoped that it was a daughter. That way, she would have a son and a daughter.
But she wouldn't ask Long Heng if he preferred a son or a daughter. He would definitely say that he preferred a son because they could go to war together.
Long Heng's injuries recovered quickly. As he said, it was only a superficial wound. However, the rumors outside were very serious because the Residence of the Li Of Gojoseon had even brought a coffin in.
Although the Consort of the Li Of Gojoseon looked fine, she was haggard. When she walked, she had to be supported by two maidservants.
The Residence of the Li Of Gojoseon was in a gloomy mood. There were even assassins attacking from time to time.
However, because there were some martial artists protecting them, the assassins didn't succeed.
Su Yun seemed to be planning to escape from the palace. The reason was that the Emperor hated her so much that he wanted to disband her power.
Su Yun naturally wasn't someone who would sit still and wait for death. Thus, during this period of time, she and the Emperor had been fighting both openly and covertly.
It was a pity that she didn't have a child. Otherwise, she would very likely want to kill the Emperor and become the Empress Dowager.
"Su Yun wants to tell the enemy about you. She's thinking of a way to send someone."
"Very good. I couldn't ask for more!"
Long Heng was reading a book with his clothes draped over him. This injury was too good. He didn't have to worry about pushing down his princess. She was so delicate that she couldn't even take small bites of fruit. It seemed that she really didn't have any appetite.
"Why can't you ask for anything?"
"I'm afraid that they won't dare to make a move just because they heard about it. If there's a spy, they'll move more diligently."
"That's true. Open your mouth and eat fruit. It's good for you."
"… I'm injured. You're pregnant."
"It's the same. We both need to replenish our blood."
"I really don't know what to do with you."
Long Heng could only read while enjoying his wife's service. He felt very good.
However, she was a little busy. She deliberately fed him for fun and kept stuffing food into his mouth, leaving him helpless.
Not long after, Long Heng came over, and the two of them ended this somewhat childish game. Long Heng said that he didn't have to eat dinner tonight.
"Your Highness, there have been more assassinations recently. But today, it's peaceful and no one came."
"Understood. Continue to be on guard."
"Yes, and Prince Song is here to see you. I wonder …"
Her master was more wary of Prince Song than of thieves. No, it was even more serious than thieves. As long as he came, she would use all kinds of excuses to chase him out.
But now that he had announced to the outside world that he was seriously injured and could not be treated, it would be inappropriate if he did not see him.
But every time he met someone, he had to put on an act and vomit blood or something.
Long Heng was a straightforward person. He didn't want to continue this kind of thing, so he didn't meet many people.
Long Shuting's intention was to ask him to find a way to put on an act if he wanted to meet someone. Blood plasma had to be prepared on the spot, right?
"Let him in. There's no need to prepare blood plasma. The room is full of smell."
There were still people living in this room, especially Bai Xiangxiu. He didn't know where she learned the rules. Obviously, he was injured and couldn't do anything, but she still had to sleep next to him, as if husband and wife shouldn't be sleeping separately.
Moreover, he was used to it and let her do whatever she wanted.
Bai Xiangxiu's thought was that modern husband and wife didn't sleep separately. Unless there was a fight, they had to sleep together no matter what.
In the past, when she had her period, the servants stopped them from living together, but Long Heng felt that it was troublesome to move here and there. Moreover, he didn't mind, so he slept and didn't go out.
In this way, Bai Xiangxiu was spoiled. If he wanted to move out, she would definitely be angry.
Once, when she was feeling uncomfortable, he wanted to move out and wanted Xiao Shi to take care of him. In the end, she said, "If you move out, don't move in."
Long Heng didn't like being threatened, but it depended on who the person was.
Men always inexplicably lost all their face in front of their wives, but he was still willing to endure it.
Long Heng was in such a situation. He thought that she might be acting coquettishly and didn't want him to leave, so he didn't leave. Since then, he didn't mention anything about moving out or asking her to move out.
Bai Xiangxiu called Xiao Shi and the others to clean up the bed. Because of the commotion just now, there were fruit residue everywhere.
It was fine to look at them, but Prince Song was a guest!
When they were done with the Song Jiaoyue, Long Heng walked in. He was very worried about Long Heng.
He didn't think about Bai Xiangxiu. The two of them were close friends. How could she not come to see him when she heard that he was in trouble?
However, he was stopped every time he came. He became more and more anxious.
When he was told that he could come in just now, he thought that he would see the dying Long Heng. In the end, he saw him lying on the bed with his long hair down and looking good.
Bai Xiangxiu was beside him, and she didn't look as sad as the rumors said.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something. He smiled bitterly and said, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Don't you know what I want to do? It's nothing more than luring the snake out of its hole."
"But, do you have to make yourself like this?"
"If I don't lie down, will they dare to take action?"
"Someone, prepare tea and snacks for Prince Song."
Bai Xiangxiu wanted to leave after giving the order. As a woman, it was sometimes not good for her to interrupt when the men were talking, especially when Song Jiaoyue and her situation were special.
Back then, Su Yun wanted to defame her. There were many rumors about them in the capital, so she wanted to avoid suspicion if she could.
However, just as she turned around, Long Heng grabbed her hand and said, "It's cold outside. You're not in good health now. Don't walk around. It's fine to sit here."
"Oh … Oh."
Wasn't he always afraid that they would meet? Why did he let her stay this time? In the past, he didn't like to be too intimate in front of others. Why was he acting normal today?
"I'm afraid that I'll be lying in the coffin in a few days. When that time comes, you'll have to work harder. No matter what, you have to protect yourself and him."
After saying that, his eyes looked at Bai Xiangxiu's stomach ambiguously.
Damn, Bai Xiangxiu immediately understood.
Long Heng, you're showing off your love for a man who hasn't married yet. Aren't you dark?
"Mm … Okay."
She lowered her head silently, indicating that she didn't know the man who pretended to be weak in front of her.
"You really want to do this?
But if they want to check the body … "
They'll definitely come to check. When the person is still alive, how can I show it?
"If it wasn't for that corpse, I would've been lying in the coffin long ago. After all, the godly doctor's wife and disciple aren't godly doctors. It's a little slow to make a fake face."
"Uh …"
"That corpse?"
"It's already prepared. It's a death row prisoner who willingly sold his body."
"If something happens to you, the border will be in danger."
Long Heng sneered. He had been in charge of the border for so many years. It was time for him to rest!
