Female supremacy: The journey of a pregnant princess to the top

Jiang Lingyue was a little curious. She looked at Ye Xinghe's departing back, not knowing what had happened.

Jiang Lingyue decided to follow and see. She quietly walked out of the banquet hall and followed Ye Xinghe from a distance.

He walked into a study and before closing the door, he specifically instructed that no one should disturb him.

Jiang Lingyue approached the study and heard the conversation between Ye Xinghe and another person.

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that the Emperor secretly summoned the Second Prince this afternoon. I wonder if this will affect tomorrow's succession ceremony?"

"Now, all the military and political power is in my hands. Since my father has issued an edict to pass on the throne, he will not change his mind at the last minute."

Ye Xinghe's eyes turned cold, "But the current situation is still unclear, we need to be fully prepared. If that person goes back on his word, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between father and son."

Jiang Lingyue's heart tightened, she knew the cruelty of the fight for the throne.

Although Ye Xinghe's father was incompetent, she didn't want him to be charged with patricide.

"Pass the order down, the troops inside and outside the imperial city must be prepared at all times in case of any emergency."

Ye Xinghe continued, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Second Prince. If there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will do my best." The man responded respectfully.

Ye Xinghe was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't make this matter public, so as not to alert the enemy."

"I obey your command." The man bowed and retreated.

After everyone left, Ye Xinghe's voice was heard from the study.

"Xiaoyue, come in!"

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyebrows. She deliberately did not hide her aura, just to see if Ye Xinghe would have any concerns when he knew she was outside.

It seems that this man does not consider himself an outsider at all.

Jiang Lingyue pushed open the door and walked into the study.

Ye Xinghe looked at her helplessly, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.

"Did you hear everything?" Ye Xinghe asked.

"Yeah." Jiang Lingyue nodded, "I, I don't want you to be blamed."

Ye Xinghe understood what she meant, walked to her side, and gently held her hand, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Jiang Lingyue looked up at Ye Xinghe and said, "That's good. If you have anything, remember to talk to me. I can help you."

Ye Xinghe hugged her with emotion, "Thank you, Xiaoyue."

The two hugged each other for a moment, and Ye Xinghe let her go.

"Let's go out so that others won't worry." Ye Xinghe said.

Jiang Lingyue nodded and walked out of the study with Ye Xinghe.

The banquet was still going on, and the two returned to the banquet hall, still chatting and laughing on the surface.

However, they all knew deep down that tomorrow's succession ceremony might face uncertainties.

After the banquet, Ye Xinghe placed Jiang Lingyue, the twins, and the wet nurse and maid who took care of the children in the yard next to his own.

The guards and the pregnant woman and her child brought by Liu Xiuhan and Jiang Lingyue were placed in a side courtyard.

Liu Xiuhan pulled Jiang Lingyue's sleeve and looked at her pitifully, "Yue'er, I don't want to be so far away from you."

Jiang Lingyue smiled helplessly, leaned close to Liu Xiuhan's ear and whispered, "Men in Qingyang Country care about their reputation, even though you are my concubine, Xinghe will not arrange for us to live in the same courtyard.

Xiu Han, be good, stay there first, I will come to see you when I have time."

Liu Xiuhan had no choice but to nod, "Okay then, Yue'er, please come to see me soon."

Hearing Xiaoyue talking about him in person, Ye Xinghe's mouth twitched. She shouldn't say bad things about people behind their backs. He heard it all!

Did Xiaoyue do this on purpose? Yes, definitely on purpose.

What's wrong with him turning a blind eye to Liu Xiu Han just to save his face?

He heard it clearly, but had to pretend he didn't hear it. Ye Xinghe's poker face almost couldn't hold it anymore.

As the night deepened, the entire palace fell into silence.

Jiang Lingyue lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that everything would go well tomorrow.

On the other side, Ye Xinghe did not fall asleep either.

He stood at the window, staring into the distance, thinking about strategies to deal with possible crises.

Suddenly, a slight noise caught his attention.

He stood up alertly and walked to the window to check. A dark shadow flashed past on the courtyard wall.

Ye Xinghe's heart sank. How could an expert sneak into the palace?

He turned around, picked up his sword, quietly opened the door, and chased in the direction where the shadow disappeared.

In the darkness, Ye Xinghe moved forward cautiously.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful aura approaching, and he immediately drew his sword and became alert.

"It's me." Jiang Lingyue's voice came, and Ye Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Ye Xinghe asked.

"I was worried, so I came to check on you. I was looking for your bedroom when you came out."

Jiang Lingyue said, handing Ye Xinghe a sturdy necklace, "This is a top-grade magic weapon, the Brilliance Shield, which can defend against attacks below the Spiritual Transformation Stage and rebound most of the damage."

Ye Xinghe's pupils trembled slightly, and a warm feeling rose in his heart, but he did not accept it.

He shook his head, "Xiaoyue, don't worry about me, you can keep this magic weapon for yourself."

"I'll tell you a secret. I got a chance to strengthen my Qi and defense. Even without this magic weapon, my defense would be about the same."

Jiang Lingyue smiled confidently and said, "If you don't believe me, try attacking me with all your strength."

Ye Xinghe stroked her cheek gently, "How could I bear to do that to you."

"Then you take this magic weapon." Jiang Lingyue put her hands on her hips and looked at him angrily, "If you don't take it, I will ignore you."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"That's pretty much it."

Ye Xinghe rubbed her head and said, "Then, please help me put it on, Xiaoyue."

Jiang Lingyue looked up at his 195cm tall head and said teasingly, "Your Highness, the Honorable Crown Prince, you must learn to bow your head before asking for help."

Ye Xinghe smiled, bent down and approached her, "Is this okay?"

Looking at the handsome face that suddenly approached, Jiang Lingyue blushed slightly and coughed lightly, "Well, the boy is teachable."

She held the necklace in both hands and put it around Ye Xinghe's neck.

"Okay." Jiang Lingyue smiled with satisfaction, "The style of this necklace suits you quite well."

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Ye Xinghe suddenly grabbed her hands and made her hug his neck.

"Thank you, Xiaoyue."

The man's hot breath sprayed on her neck, and Jiang Lingyue's heart trembled.

Apart from helping Ye Xinghe detoxify that night, the two had not had any close contact in more than a year.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep, but suddenly there's something so ambiguous going on that it makes one unable to help but let their imagination run wild.

Jiang Lingyue's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She tried to break free from Ye Xinghe's hand, but the man held her tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"Xiaoyue..." Ye Xinghe called softly, his breathing becoming a little heavy, "Just let me hold you like this for a while, okay?"

Jiang Lingyue's body stiffened slightly, and she nodded gently, tacitly approving Ye Xinghe's action.

The two hugged each other quietly, feeling this rare quiet moment.

The moonlight sprinkled on them like a layer of silver gauze, adding a bit of romance.

After a long time, Ye Xinghe slowly let go of Jiang Lingyue.

He looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes full of affectionate forbearance.

"Go back and rest early. There are still many things to do tomorrow." Ye Xinghe's voice was slightly hoarse.

Jiang Lingyue nodded, turned around and climbed over the wall.

Watching her back gradually disappear from his sight, Ye Xinghe's eyes were filled with attachment and reluctance.

He lowered his head and stroked the necklace on his chest, feeling Jiang Lingyue's affection.

It will be soon. Just wait a little longer. He must be with Xiaoyue legitimately.

Jiang Lingyue had just returned to the courtyard where she lived when she received a system prompt.

[Ye Xinghe's favorability towards the host +10, current favorability is 100. ]

[Ye Xinghe's favorability towards the host reaches the full score of 100, and the host is given a chance to revive with full health once. Currently, there are 1 chances to revive with full health. ]

Jiang Lingyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly. This is so awesome and he got full marks. He is worthy of being the man she likes.

Lie down on your bed and have a good night's sleep.
