When Shen Jingxuan heard his words, her eyes flickered slightly, then returned to their normal state in an instant.

"What can I hide from you? You look so worried, as if you were the one giving birth to the child."

Xie Lingxiao came to Shen Jingxuan and held her cheeks with both hands.

"Just look at me and say that."

Whether in the past or now, Shen Jingxuan's every move, even a look, could not escape his eyes.

How could he not see the eye contact between her and Mr. Xue?

Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao and saw that his dark eyes were slightly narrowed and he was looking at her as if examining her. She looked away feeling guilty.

"You really are hiding something from me."

Seeing that she didn't want to explain, Xie Lingxiao felt a little upset: "Xuan'er, from the day I fell in love with you, I have never concealed anything from you. Even if I lost my memory and went to the border, I would have informed you in advance and not left on my own."

"You were pregnant at that time, but you didn't tell me in time. I can let it go. After all, I was wrong at that time. I shouldn't have forgotten you, and I shouldn't have been so indifferent to you."

"But Xuan'er, now that you are about to give birth to our child, I don't want you to hide anything from me. I want you to tell me if anything happens."

Shen Jingxuan never knew when Xie Lingxiao, who was usually taciturn, could speak so many words in a row.

After the two of them were together, she clearly felt that Xie Lingxiao talked a little too much, but not like he did now.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan staring at him without saying anything, Xie Lingxiao continued: "Xuan'er..."

"Okay, I just want to know what I've been hiding from you. Don't regret it when you find out."

Xie Lingxiao said: "I want to know what it is."

Seeing his serious look, Shen Jingxuan raised the corner of her lips: "You are going to be a father."

Xie Lingxiao squatted in front of Shen Jingxuan and responded: "Yes, I know."

"The father of two children."

After Shen Jingxuan finished speaking, Xie Lingxiao suddenly fell to the ground.

"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan chuckled.

Xie Lingxiao looked at her in shock. Seeing her frowning face, he knew she was not lying.

"Two...two?" After saying that, he stood up and ran out.

Shen Jingxuan hurriedly stopped him: "Ah Xiao, where are you going?"

"Go call the master..." After saying this, he disappeared from the room in an instant.

Shen Jingxuan looked at the empty room and thought of Xie Lingxiao's appearance just now, and she just felt funny.

She had never seen Xie Lingxiao lose his composure like this before.

When Xie Lingxiao returned to the room, Shen Jingxuan was really shocked.

He was out for such a short time, and when he came back he brought his grandparents, Mrs. Hao, and the first and second masters into the room.

Old Madam Shen looked worried: "Xuan'er, why didn't you tell me in advance? Are you going to scare grandma to death?"

Shen Jingxuan persuaded: "Grandma, mother, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Hao came forward with a cold face: "How can I not worry? Xuan'er, do you know how dangerous it is to give birth to two children at once?"

Shen Jingxuan looked towards Xie Lingxiao, and seeing him looking at her with a pale face, she felt more helpless.

She knew that speaking out about this would lead to the current situation.

"Mother, isn't the master here? Ah Xiao has also invited the best midwife in Shangjing City, so you can rest assured."

Shen Jingxuan turned her head to look at Elder Xue: "Master, tell them that the child is fine. I will be fine too."

Elder Xue pursed his lips and said, "Xuan'er is right. The most important thing now is to let her have a good rest. You can go back to your room without any worries."

Madam Shen asked, "Really?"

"Really? You guys should go back quickly. I just checked Xuan'er's pulse and she's fine."

Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Shen looked at each other, and when they saw Mr. Xue and Mr. Xu walking out, they had no choice but to follow them.

Shen Jingxuan leaned back on the couch and saw Xie Lingxiao standing there with his head down. She said helplessly, "Isn't it just giving birth to two children at once? Is it necessary to scare you so much?"

Xie Lingxiao lowered his head, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Shen Jingxuan shook her head slightly, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.

"Hiss..." Shen Jingxuan cried out in pain.

Xie Lingxiao quickly came to her, waving his hands in panic, not daring to touch Shen Jingxuan.

"What's wrong? Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Jingxuan smiled and looked up: "Maybe they are worried about Daddy and moved too much."

Xie Lingxiao's expression was gentle, and he looked at Shen Jingxuan and sighed slightly: "They are so young, how could they know these things."

He gently stroked Shen Jingxuan's belly: "Xuan'er, will everything really be okay?"

"Don't worry, they will be born safely." Shen Jingxuan held Xie Lingxiao's hand.

The room became quiet for a moment, with only the shallow breathing of the two people remaining.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan in his arms.

"Xuan'er, compared to them, I want to hear you say that you will be safe."

"I will be safe too, don't worry, Xiao."

How could he be at ease? He would probably never let it go until the last moment.

Seeing that he was still thinking about this matter, Shen Jingxuan had to talk about the palace.

"Ah Xiao, the emperor is now under house arrest in the palace. Is this really okay?"

Xie Lingxiao said: "I don't know, he has his own arrangements for the palace, you just need to take care of yourself."

Now that Shen Jingxuan is about to give birth, nothing is more important than her coming. We will make any other decisions after she gives birth to the baby safely.

Shen Jingxuan said: "According to what you said, the emperor may not be able to do anything, and the queen is also in the palace, I don't know what will happen."

"Those things will naturally be investigated by secret agents, so let's not worry about them for now." Xie Lingxiao said softly.

Seeing that he didn't want to mention it, Shen Jingxuan had to let Xie Lingxiao carry her to rest.

That night, Shen Jingxuan slept soundly with Xie Lingxiao by her side, while Xie Lingxiao lay on the couch all night without sleeping.

When she woke up the next day, Shen Jingxuan opened her eyes and met Xie Lingxiao's eyes.

Looking at his haggard face, Shen Jingxuan was slightly stunned: "Ah Xiao, didn't you sleep all night?"

Xie Lingxiao said in a hoarse voice: "Well, I can't sleep."

Every time he closed his eyes, the scene of Shen Jingxuan giving birth appeared in his mind, making him full of worry.

"Then you should get some sleep."

"You're not sleepy yet. I'll have breakfast with you."

After Xie Lingxiao stood up, he first put on his clothes, and then helped Shen Jingxuan to pack up.

When the two of them were having breakfast together, Ling Feng came to report: "Master, Lu Zhong has entered the palace and seems to be in a hurry."

"Do you know why he entered the palace?"

"People in the palace said that he went directly to the Queen's bedroom."

Shen Jingxuan asked: "Has Eunuch Deng returned to the emperor?"

Ling Feng replied: "No, the palace gates were closed when the master left the palace that day, and we didn't have time to make any arrangements."

The emperor was trapped in the palace, and even the capable eunuch Deng was not by his side. Even if he wanted to do something, he was afraid he could not do it.

The Queen and Lu Zhong have been planning for many years, and now that they have taken the first step, there is no reason to turn back.

From the moment they make the decision, they can only succeed and not fail.

After all, they are afraid that they cannot bear the consequences of failure.

Thinking of this, Shen Jingxuan suddenly realized that since she and Xie Lingxiao returned home, she had never received any news from Xie Zihan.

Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao: "Where is Xie Zihan? Is he also in the palace?"
