The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Shen Jingxuan was puzzled: "Where did the soldiers come from?"

If there are people who can surround Xie Zihan, there will be more people coming.

But Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure out why those people were like that.

Ling Yu's lips curled slightly: "The people brought by the loyal and brave marquis are currently confronting Xie Zihan's people."

Before coming, he made a special trip to take a look. Seeing the gloomy face of Marquis Zhongyong, he was afraid that Xie Zihan's people would not be able to withstand it.

Shen Jingxuan's eyebrows curved: "Go and invite him into the mansion."

Ling Yu responded and went to invite Marquis Zhongyong into the mansion.

Ling Qiong glanced at Shen Jingxuan's belly and said, "Princess, do you really want to invite him into the mansion?"

If Marquis Zhongyong saw Shen Jingxuan, she would no longer be able to hide the fact that she was pregnant.

Now that Xie Lingxiao is at the border and Xie Zihan is eyeing the palace, there's no telling when the Queen will cause trouble for Shen Jingxuan.

All these situations reminded them that they must not leak the news that Shen Jingxuan was pregnant.

Shen Jingxuan pursed her lips and said, "It's okay. Dad is more insightful than we think. And since Xie Zihan surrounded the palace first, he will help to conceal it."

Given Marquis Zhongyong's love for her, he would never let her be in danger, and how could he spread her condition without permission?

Even if he said it by mistake, it doesn't matter.

After all, her belly would only get bigger and bigger, and she couldn't hide in the palace forever.

When Ling Yu and Marquis Zhongyong came to the room, Shen Jingxuan unexpectedly saw Mr. Xue and Mr. Xu, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

She smiled and came forward: "Why did you come together?"

Elder Xue pressed Shen Jingxuan down on the chair and said, "I heard that Xie Zihan surrounded the palace, so your second master and I were worried and came to take a look."

Old Master Xu said, "Luckily I met the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery in front of the palace gate, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to enter the palace."

Mr. Xue quietly put his hand on Shen Jingxuan's wrist and found that there was nothing wrong with her body, and he finally felt relieved.

Shen Jingxuan let Elder Xue finish taking her pulse and said with a smile, "Master, I'm fine, don't worry."

Elder Xue stared at her and said, "How can I not be worried? I just got the news. If it weren't for me and your Second Master stopping them, those old men would have come to kill us a long time ago."

Old Xu advised, "You've seen Xuan'er, haven't you? Relax your mind."

He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly remembered the Loyal and Brave Marquis who had entered the palace with them.

Old Xu looked towards the door suddenly, and saw Marquis Zhongyong standing there motionless.

"My Lord, why don't you come in? Why are you standing there in a daze?"

Marquis Zhongyong regained consciousness instantly, pointed at Shen Jingxuan, and was speechless for a moment.

Clearly, the two had met a few days ago, but he didn't notice it at all.

Shen Jingxuan walked forward and pulled him to sit down: "Dad, don't be angry with Xuan'er, I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

Marquis Zhongyong stared at Shen Jingxuan's belly intently. After a while, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and his brows gradually softened.

"I'm going to be a grandfather?"

Without waiting for Shen Jingxuan to answer, Marquis Zhongyong suddenly stood up and walked out.

Mr. Xu stood up and blocked his way: "Where are you going?"

The Loyal and Brave Marquis said, "Xie Zihan's grandson has surrounded the palace. I will go and kill his men, and then go to the palace to inform the emperor about this."

"If I let him do this, it will affect my grandson's mood."

Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly: "Dad, just let him surround us, and see how the emperor will deal with him."

She waited for so long just to see what Xie Zihan wanted to do.

If his attention could be drawn to Shangjing City, the border would also get a respite, allowing Xie Lingxiao to concentrate on repelling the enemy.

The loyal and brave marquis was puzzled: "Your Majesty? Even so, you must not put yourself in danger."

He had finally adopted his daughter, and now she was about to have a grandson, so how could he not protect the safety of both of them?

Xue Lao said: "It is better to observe for a few days first, lest you kill Xie Zihan's men and he has other ideas."

Old Xu echoed, "Yes, at least he will be quiet for a few days now that he knows Xuan'er is trapped in the palace."

Xie Zihan can ignore the emperor's will and do whatever he wants, so he must be confident that he will not be punished by the emperor.

And Shen Jingxuan couldn't figure out for a moment who gave him the confidence.

The loyal and brave Marquis said: "I will go to the palace later and report this to the emperor. I can also know in advance how the emperor will react."

Shen Jingxuan stopped him and said, "Dad, the palace is different now than before, so it's better for you not to get involved."

"As for reporting this to the Emperor, you don't have to come to the palace in person. I will arrange this later."

"But... ..."

Shen Jingxuan interrupted him: "Dad, just stay at home with Ying'er, I will figure out other things."

"No, you can't be bothered with your current health. I'll do these things."

Hearing what Marquis Zhongyong said, Shen Jingxuan's eyes turned red and she looked at him, not knowing how to persuade him.

The loyal and brave Marquis clenched his fists. If it was something else, he would not displease Xuan'er and let her handle everything alone...

He gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan'er, you are pregnant, just take care of the baby. Daddy can take care of the rest, don't worry."

Shen Jingxuan glanced at Old Xu, and Old Xu's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, Xuan'er is not alone."

"From today on, Elder Xue and I will live in the palace until Xuan'er gives birth to the child."

"As for her safety, don't worry. A Xiao had already made arrangements when he left. Xie Zihan's people cannot enter the palace."

Seeing this, Elder Xue looked at the Loyal and Brave Marquis and said, "Don't worry. Xuan'er is also worried that you will be implicated. If you miss Xuan'er, you can come and see her anytime."

"There are so many people in the mansion, and Xuan'er doesn't have to solve the problem herself. She just needs to give the order."

Elder Xu said, "Yes, and several elders from the Scarlet Flame Temple will also stay at the palace for a while. Xuan'er will definitely be safe."

If he and Old Xue hadn't stopped them, those old men would have arrived earlier.

Shen Jingxuan knew that Marquis Zhongyong cared about her adopted daughter very much, but she didn't expect that he would rather protect her at the expense of the safety of Marquis Zhongyong's mansion.

Sometimes when she thinks back on it, she feels that her life was worth living.

At least she is not only loved by Xie Lingxiao, but also by so many close people.

This is something I didn’t have in my previous life.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and said with a smile: "Dad, I will take good care of myself, and you should also take good care of yourself and Ying'er."

"Okay." Marquis Zhongyong responded helplessly.

He knew that Shen Jingxuan was different from other women, but he didn't expect that there were so many people around her who could be used.

It’s better this way now, he can feel more at ease.

Marquis Zhongyong chatted with Mr. Xue and Mr. Xu for a few words, then got up and left the palace, but the soldiers he brought with him stayed outside the palace.

When Shen Jingxuan heard Ling Qiong's report, she secretly sighed at the stubbornness of the Loyal and Brave Marquis.

So many soldiers openly surrounded Xie Zihan's men. Wasn't this telling everyone openly that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion was on Shen Jingxuan's side?

But the others had already left, and Shen Jingxuan knew that she could not persuade Marquis Zhongyong.
