In the months since she became pregnant, Tan Yuelian has experienced too many difficulties and tests.

During this period, he encountered no less than ten plots intended to poison him, eight situations in which he was almost pushed down by secret forces, and many traps that almost caused him to drown.

Even in the face of so many risks, she was strong enough to keep her precious life. However, whenever she was worried about the war situation in the north, she could only carefully keep the letter for help to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy and causing her plan to be exposed.

The legends we have heard in the past about the cruel and fierce struggles within the harem are enough to make people feel cold. Only after experiencing these intrigues personally can we realize more deeply the dangers.

Fortunately, with the existence of Concubine Jin, a loyal guardian, Tan Yuelian can look forward to Su Wanyu's safe return with relative peace of mind.

After leaving the bedroom, Su Wanyu went straight to the inner hall where the emperor was.

There, the emperor was holding a newborn baby and gazing at him affectionately, his face filled with unprecedented ease and relief - because from now on, the throne had an heir.

When the emperor sensed Su Wanyu's arrival, he raised his head slightly and smiled, "Sister, you've come just in time. Come and take a look at this new little life."

Looking at the little face with eyes closed and wrinkled, it is impossible to tell who it looks like because it was born prematurely.

"From now on, my brother can no longer indulge in hunting and playing all day long. You have to spend more time educating and training our little new generation king."

Su Wanyu chuckled.

The emperor obviously understood the meaning behind these words. He looked at the delicate life in his arms with gentle eyes, "Sister, please rest assured. I will do my best to play the role of a qualified father..."

As he spoke, a tenderness that was hard to conceal appeared in his eyes.

Perhaps doing this can indeed make up for the regret caused by the lack of fatherly love in childhood?

Once upon a time, he was just a lonely child in a forgotten corner; now he welcomes the arrival of a new life with his own hands. This special fate is destined to become an indispensable part of his life journey...

"By the way, sister, do you have any good suggestions on naming the baby?"

The emperor suddenly asked as the morning light shone through the window onto the two of them.

After thinking for a moment, Su Wanyu suggested: "In that case, how about the word 'Ah Xing'?"

After a brief surprise, the emperor agreed and said, "Well, let's use this name."

You know, "Ah Xing" was the pseudonym he casually gave himself when he passed through the border of Nanping, and he accidentally wrote it into the letter he sent to Su Wanyu.

From then on, the little prince had a special and meaningful name.

Just as the two were immersed in the bright prospects for the future, a clear cry broke the peaceful atmosphere.

Apparently the little prince started to make a fuss, and this made the emperor, who was a first-time father, a little overwhelmed.

"Don't worry, the most urgent thing is to find a suitable wet nurse."

Seeing this, Su Wanyu quickly took the crying baby and comforted him gently.

"I have already made arrangements regarding the wet nurse."

After a while, Eunuch Liu walked in with the selected candidates.

After everything was handed over, Su Wanyu politely bid farewell to the emperor and then set out on her journey home alone.

When she returned to the mansion, she was greeted by Gu Linjun who had been waiting there for a long time.

"I heard that you welcomed the birth of a new life today, right?"

the latter asked with concern.

After sitting down and drinking a few sips of hot tea to warm herself up, Su Wanyu finally calmed down: "Yes, although Tan Yuelian's child came into this world a few months early, the surprising thing is that this little guy's physique is far beyond expectations."

Seeing his wife looking a little tired, Gu Linjun rubbed her shoulders to comfort her: "Since this is a good thing, how are those who intended to harm you being investigated now?"

After thinking for a long time, Su Wanyu replied: "There is no final conclusion yet. But with my brother's ability, I believe the truth will be revealed soon."

Hearing this, Gu Linjun suddenly smiled knowingly: "Perhaps this can also help my brother grow up sooner and learn to take responsibility. After all, he now has his own bloodline to take care of."

After a pause, he changed the subject and asked another question: "There is another thing I would like to hear your opinion on..."

"what's up?"

Su Wanyu asked curiously.

After a long silence, Gu Linjun slowly spoke: "About the man named Zheng Chengyan who is said to be imprisoned in the underground prison..."

These words immediately touched a sensitive nerve.

Mentioning this name was like uncovering an old scar that had been sealed for a long time. She murmured to herself, "I didn't expect that he could still be alive after such a long time. This was quite beyond my expectation."

It was rare that his brother had not chosen to immediately deal with this hidden danger after more than a year. Gu Linjun smiled and reached out to tidy up his wife's slightly messy hair while comforting her: "I am also surprised that he has survived for so long."

At the end, he asked directly: "Do you want to go visit this person? Maybe you will get something unexpected?"

Su Wanyu slowly turned around and faced Gu Linjun's gentle gaze. Her eyes were firm and clear.

She said softly, "For me, he has completely disappeared from my life. Since I have decided not to talk about the past, there is naturally no reason for me to meet him."

The determination and relief in her tone gently reverberated in the quiet air.

Gu Linjun nodded slightly, and the light in his eyes flickered for a moment. It was the joy and relief that naturally emerged after seeing his lover's spiritual relief.

He watched the woman in front of him finally break free from the shackles of the past. The expression on her face softened a lot, and her faint smile warmed the small room like early spring.

From then on, Zheng Chengyan's name no longer had to be an indelible shadow in Su Wanyu's heart.

The painful memories that haunted her like ghosts on those nights will slowly fade away with time and will no longer haunt her dreams.

At this moment, Xiaoyan, who had been sitting quietly on the bed playing with a small rattle, suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting. He supported his body with his hands and tried to stand up by leaning on the chair next to him.

After shaking its little body for a few times, it finally took its first step in life, babbling:

"Mother, mother... father, father..."

The voice was full of excitement and curiosity to explore the unknown world, although it still sounded a little unclear.

Su Wanyu's eyes suddenly widened, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then turned into overflowing maternal love.

Without a moment's hesitation, she quickly stood up and reached out to the child to protect this fragile but extremely brave first step attempter.
