Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1760

But when is the date of delivery? It feels like it’s a long time away. Bei Hui’s eyes are red again.

Shi Anxia saw her red eyes and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you? When Madam Meng told you that I was pregnant with my third child, you all started crying. Can't you be happier?"

Bei Hui took a breath, her voice hoarse, "Madam, I'm scared."

As soon as she said these words, Nan Yan, Hong Que and others who were guarding the door burst into tears.

Shi Anxia pulled Beihui to sit beside her and said softly, "Don't you believe I can handle it?"

"Believe." Bei Hui wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

But is this a question of belief or not? She had been unable to sleep all night recently, fearing that when she woke up, something had happened to her wife.

She didn't even dare to think about it. What would she do if the princess had a difficult childbirth like the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion?

Shi Anxia smiled, "Be happy if you believe me, otherwise the little one in my belly will think that Aunt Bei Hui doesn't like them."

Bei Hui burst into laughter and said, "I like it!"

But I'm still scared!

Shi Anxia stood up and walked around the room, rubbing her wrists, "Bei Hui, grind some ink for me so I can write a letter back to my husband."

Bei Hui agreed, thinking that if the young master could come back to look after his wife, it would make people feel more at ease.

But how could Shi Anxia call a commander back to Beijing at this time? She wrote a letter to Cen Yuan, telling him that everything was fine at home and not to worry, and that he would be able to see the child when he returned to Beijing after the battle.

The letter reported good news but not bad news. She did not mention that there was no movement on the due date, nor did she mention the third child, for fear of scaring her husband.

Before her letter was sent out of the capital, urgent battle reports from the border 800 miles away were delivered to the court first.

"Report!" The messenger had a red feather on his back, and his horse's hooves crushed the thin frost on the long street. "A great victory at Qixia Pass! Recover Licheng! Recover Xuesha City! Recover Chicheng! Recover Yucheng!"

With victory after victory, morale is high.

Even as the whole capital was in an uproar, An Xia's stomach remained calm, as steady as a rock, not moving an inch.

The first snow fell in the capital that day, and Crown Prince Xiao Zhi ordered his eunuchs to deliver several boxes of silver charcoal to the Young Master's Mansion.

Upon seeing this, Eunuch An frowned and his palms began to sweat.

The prince said, "You are restless today, even more anxious than I am."

Eunuch An's heart skipped a beat. "No, there's no rush."

The prince didn't take it seriously.

Eunuch An was originally a man who served his mother. After his mother passed away, Eunuch An had been taking care of him. He was the one who watched him grow up, so it goes without saying that he was loyal.

He only said, "You should pay more attention to the news from the imperial sister, and inform me immediately if there is any movement. The emperor and his wife are not in the capital. If I slack off again and something happens to the imperial sister, the emperor will not forgive me."

Eunuch An murmured, "But whether you slack off or not, you can't solve Princess Haiyan's problem."

Xiao Zhi thought so too, and after thinking about it, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter to the border. One letter was for his father, and the other was for his husband. The contents of the letters were similar, both reporting that the emperor's sister was pregnant with her third child. However, he did not dare to mention the date, and there was no sign of delivery.
