Ling Qiong said: "Something happened in the palace. The imperial concubine secretly left the palace and went to find the queen mother to tell her that the emperor was under house arrest."

"The Queen Mother was anxious for a moment, and went to the Imperial Study with the Imperial Concubine to ask for an audience with the Emperor. Now she has been locked up in the bedroom and is under strict guard."

Shen Jingxuan hurriedly got up, but was pushed back onto the bed by Xie Lingxiao: "You can't be anxious now, I'm here to take care of these things, don't worry."

Xie Lingxiao turned and looked at Ling Qiong: "Let the secret guards keep an eye on them and make sure the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are safe."

Shen Jingxuan looked at his frowning brows and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Now the emperor is under house arrest in the palace, and it is still unknown whether the emperor is safe or not. The empress dowager and the imperial concubine have been locked up again.

If everything else was fine with the others, Xie Lingxiao wouldn't have any worries, but since it involved the Queen Mother, he might be in trouble.

After hearing what Xie Lingxiao said, Ling Qiong and Ling Huan went out to pass the message to the secret sentry in the palace. Shen Jingxuan looked above the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xie Lingxiao gently squeezed Shen Jingxuan's hand: "Don't think too much, you should take good care of yourself now."

"Ah Xiao, do the Queen and Lu Zhong really only want the throne? Now that Xie Zihan is the regent, as long as he doesn't do anything excessive, won't the throne be within reach?"

For some reason, Shen Jingxuan felt unwilling to think that Xie Zihan was about to take the throne.

Xie Lingxiao said: "He cannot sit on the throne. He can be the regent at this time, but the emperor has not taken action yet."

Shen Jingxuan was puzzled and asked, "The emperor has been under house arrest for so long, and Eunuch Deng is not serving him. Can he make other arrangements?"

"Just take a rest and don't think about these unimportant things." Xie Lingxiao said.

Seeing that Xie Lingxiao didn't want to mention it, Shen Jingxuan closed her eyes and stopped talking.

After Shen Jingxuan fell asleep, Xie Lingxiao came to the study and stared at the news on the table with an increasingly ugly expression.

Could it be that the Queen and Lu Zhong were so bold that they openly arranged their own people in the military camp?

Xie Lingxiao looked at Ling Feng and said, "Go tell the deputy general that there is no need to give those people face, just throw them out of the barracks."

When arranging personnel for his military camp, why don't you look in the mirror to see how capable you are?

Did they think they could put the Emperor under house arrest, keep the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine under guard, and do whatever they wanted in front of him?

Xie Lingxiao stared into the distance, tapping his fingers on the table. “Go and create some trouble for Xie Zihan, make him make some mistakes, and see how the civil and military officials in the court react.”

The Queen and Lu Zhong had some wild ideas in wanting to step on him to ascend the throne.

He didn't take action not because he was afraid of them, but because he was busy with many things and couldn't take action for the time being.

Now that Shen Jingxuan has given birth to their child, both mother and child are safe, it is time for him to do something.

Ling Feng left for a while, and when he came back, he said with a frown, "My Lord, I'm ready."

Xie Lingxiao said: "Where is Zhao Yiliang? Doesn't he have a grudge against the queen? Let him take revenge and complain, don't worry about it."

"Okay." Ling Feng responded.

When Xie Lingxiao was the only one left in the room, he picked up the book again and continued to think of a name for the child.

He had to think carefully about the name of the child and make sure to come up with two names that would satisfy Shen Jingxuan.

After Xie Lingxiao left, Shen Jingxuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the empty room. All she could think of was Xie Lingxiao's appearance yesterday.

Did he really get scared yesterday? Otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored the child and focused on himself.

He did that because he was too worried about what he was doing, and she shouldn't be angry with him for it.

Think everything through. Shen Jingxuan called Ling Qiong and Ling Huan and carried the two children's cribs into the room.

"Princess, are you going to take care of the child yourself in the future?"

Shen Jingxuan smiled and said, "If I don't take care of it myself, who will take care of it?"

Ling Huan said: "Don't we have a wet nurse? It will be much easier for them to take care of the princess."

Shen Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "Ling Huan, when you have a child in the future, you have to take care of it yourself."

Whoever takes care of the child will be close to him/her. Her thoughts are different from those women. She must take care of her child personally.

Ling Huan blushed and said shyly, "Princess, you are teasing me again. I don't want to get married and have children."

Shen Jingxuan and Ling Qiong looked at each other, and neither of them mentioned the matter further.

Ling Qiong thought for a moment and said, "Princess, the young master doesn't want the nurses' milk, so it's not appropriate for them to take care of him. It's too tiring for you to take care of two children by yourself. Why don't you let Chuntao come to the mansion to help out?"

"Although Chuntao doesn't like to use her brain when encountering things, she will definitely take good care of the young master and won't make any mistakes."

"If that's the case, with Ling Huan, Chun Tao and I, the three of us can take care of the prince together, and you won't have to be too burdened."

Speaking of Chuntao, Shen Jingxuan hasn't seen her for some time.

Ever since Xie Lingxiao went to the border, she returned to the Regent's Palace and did not let her stay with him.

If it were in the past, Shen Jingxuan could take the time to slowly teach her how to do it. But today was different. There were so many people outside watching the palace, she didn't dare to be negligent and could only leave her in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Jingxuan sighed and said, "Ling Qiong, let Chuntao come to your house. You and Ling Huan will teach her more at that time to avoid any mistakes."

"She has a lively personality, so try not to let her leave the house. If she must go, arrange for someone to keep an eye on her."

She knew Chuntao's personality very well, but she didn't know whether she had changed after so long.

Ling Qiong said: "Princess, the last time I saw Chun Tao, she seemed to be much more stable."

After Shen Jingxuan discussed with Ling Qiong, she ordered Ling Huan to go to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to pick up Chuntao, and also ordered people to send several wet nurses out of the mansion.

Xie Lingxiao heard that the nanny was sent away and hurried back to the room: "Xuan'er, why did you send the nanny away?"

Shen Jingxuan glanced at him and said, "Your son would rather drink milk than his wet nurse's milk."

Xie Lingxiao choked when he heard Shen Jingxuan's words. He suddenly remembered what happened in the yard yesterday. He covered his lips lightly and said awkwardly: "Since you don't like the nurse's milk, just send her away."

As he spoke, he came to the edge of the bed and stared at the child with Shen Jingxuan. Seeing them put their hands into their mouths and suck them continuously, Xie Lingxiao's expression softened.

He reached out to touch the child's cheek, but as soon as his fingers got close, the child burst into tears.

Shen Jingxuan urged: "Ah Xiao, pick him up and comfort him."

Xie Lingxiao looked at the small ball in front of him, not knowing what to do.

Shen Jingxuan shook her head helplessly, picked up the child and gently placed him in Xie Lingxiao's arms. His body was tense and he stared at the child nervously without moving.

"Relax a little, Axiao, hold him and comfort him, don't let him cry all the time."

Xie Lingxiao held the child and rocked him a few times, and the child looked at him and laughed.

"Xuan'er, look, he is looking at me and smiling..." Before he could finish his words, Xie Lingxiao froze in place holding the child.
