King Xuan saw Shen Jingyi's gloating and did not comment.

In his opinion, neither of these two people was a good person and there was no need to sympathize with them.

At this time, Chu Qi also came in and reported with a fist: "Your Majesty, the man named Xiong Tianchen has confessed everything. Here is the confession."

After saying this, he handed the roll of paper in his hand to King Xuan.

He said: "He confessed that two months ago, a group of people found him and asked for a group of children and offered a high price.

So, he was tempted and took his men to steal children."

Shen Jingyi asked curiously: "Where will these children be sent?"

Chu Qi replied respectfully: "According to his instructions, these children will be sent to the sea."

After reading those confessions, King Xuan had a complicated expression on his face.

Shen Jingyi didn't understand the reason and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

King Xuan explained: "The geography of the sea is complex. I have heard before that there is an island of a killer organization on the sea, but the exact location is not clear."

After King Xuan finished speaking, he tapped the table subconsciously.

"It seems that I have to report this matter to my father."

Then he looked at Chuwu and Chuqi and ordered, "You two should hand over these people and their confessions to the county government!

The matter between the legal advisor and his concubine was also secretly revealed to the county magistrate.

I think the county magistrate will know what to do."

"What about the children we rescued last night?" Chuqi asked again.

"Send them over as well, and order the government to send these children back today.

Go quickly, we will leave in the afternoon." After saying this, he waved his hand, indicating that they could go.

The fifth and seventh answered in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the fifth and seventh people left, Chuntao and Qiuju also neatly collected the dishes and left.

After everyone left, King Xuan lowered his head and began to think.

There was something he had never told Shen Jingyi, and now that he was only a few days away from returning home, he felt that he could no longer hide it.

He had not expected that Concubine Liu in the mansion was pregnant.

He looked up and saw Shen Jingyi sitting on the chair opposite him, concentrating on stroking her slightly bulging belly, her face filled with a happy glow.

"Yier, there is something I want to tell you."

King Xuan's voice was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Shen Jingyi raised her head, her eyes showing curiosity and anticipation, "My Lord, what's the matter?"

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Concubine Liu is also pregnant, one month earlier than you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jingyi was stunned at first, obviously not expecting such news to come.

She opened her mouth slightly, and it took her a long time to react. The surprise on her face gradually faded, and she showed a smile of understanding, "I understand."

"You...don't mind?" King Xuan asked worriedly, wanting to confirm Shen Jingyi's feelings.

"I didn't mind before."

Shen Jingyi shook her head, and the doubt in her eyes turned into tenderness, "It's fate that this child is here, and it's good this way.

When our child is born, he or she will have a playmate of similar age."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and sat in King Xuan's arms. Her expression became serious and she looked at King Xuan seriously.

"But I will mind it in the future. You are mine!"

After saying that, he rubbed King Xuan's chest with his fingers, which King Xuan grasped in his hands.

After hearing what Shen Jingyi said, King Xuan felt relieved and felt her tolerance and understanding.

As for her subsequent possessive words, he not only had no dissatisfaction,

On the contrary, he felt that Shen Jingyi's frankness and dominance made him feel extremely happy and delighted.

The smile on his face grew bigger, and he responded in a gentle voice, "Well, I'm yours."

These short and sincere words were like a reassurance, filling Shen Jingyi's heart with emotion and peace of mind.

They hugged each other tightly, enjoying the sweetness of the moment.

Seven days later, at the gate of the palace

In the evening, the cold wind was blowing outside Prince Xuan's mansion, and the fallen leaves were rustling on the stone slabs.

Chu Mengyao brought Su Wan, concubines Tang Yurou and Liu Ruoxue, and two concubines Bai Zhi and Zheng K'er.

As well as the three children and a group of maids and servants, they were anxiously awaiting King Xuan's return.

The children's faces were filled with anticipation, while Chu Mengyao's eyes held a hint of barely perceptible worry.

The carriage slowly came into view, and everyone's eyes were focused on the carriage that was surrounded in the middle.

When the car door opened, the figure of King Xuan came into view first, still as handsome and majestic as ever.

However, when he stretched out his hand and helped Shen Jingyi slowly get out of the car, everyone's eyes froze.

Shen Jingyi's belly was already bulging, and it was obvious that she had been pregnant for several months.

Princess Xuan's expression changed slightly. She tried hard to keep smiling, but the jealousy flashing in her eyes could not be concealed.

The children also looked at Shen Jingyi curiously. Is she going to have a younger brother or sister?

Bai Zhi and Zheng Ke'er exchanged glances, as if conveying some kind of message.

Chu Mengyao led everyone forward and saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty." "Greetings, Father."

King Xuan looked at the crowded doorway and frowned, saying, "Everyone, get up!"

Shen Jingyi also stepped forward to greet Chu Mengyao: "Hello, sister Princess."

Chu Mengyao pinched her palm hard, then said with a smile: "Sister, no need to be polite, you are pregnant!

Let’s skip all the red tape from now on, the children are the most important.”

"Yes, thank you, sister." Shen Jingyi replied with a smile.

Then, Chu Mengyao stepped forward gracefully, approached King Xuan, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are finally back. We all missed you very much."

King Xuan smiled and responded: "Princess, you have worked hard. How is everything going in the palace during this period?"

Chu Mengyao replied: "Everything is fine, but the children always ask when you will return."

At this time, Xiao Zihong, Xiao Zian, and Xiao Zimo also came forward and surrounded King Xuan, happily calling him father, their eyes full of admiration.

Su Wan looked at the excitement in front of her, but did not step forward. She just said to Liu Ruoxue beside her leisurely: "This is really the same person with different fates."

Liu Ruoxue held her belly and smiled faintly: "I didn't expect Sister Shen is also pregnant. It looks like the month of pregnancy should be about the same as mine!"

Then she walked forward, and her belly was bigger than Shen Jingyi's, but her steps did not seem heavy.

She had a gentle smile on her face: "Your Majesty, Sister Shen looks tired from the journey and needs to have a good rest."

King Xuan nodded, his eyes fell on Liu Ruoxue's belly, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Concubine Liu, you too, please take care of your health."

Liu Ruoxue smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will."

Then she turned around, looked at Shen Jingyi and said, "Sister Shen, congratulations. Our children will be the same age in the future, so we can have a companion for everything we do. That's great."

Shen Jingyi looked at the sincere smile on her face and replied with a smile: "I think so too!

I just hope they won’t get together to do mischief in the future…”

At this time, Xiao Zimo on the side couldn't help but interrupt, "No, Concubine. From now on, we can watch over your brothers and sisters for you and make them behave well."

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi patted Xiao Zimo's little head and said with a smile: "Okay! Then I'll leave it to you from now on."

Xiao Zimo and Xiao Zian both patted their chests and said that they would complete the task.
