Zheng Miao was very good at observing people's expressions and noticed that there was some doubt in the emperor's eyes when he looked at Fei Wan.

Before that doubt turned into suspicion, he took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, pregnant women are naturally sensitive and easily agitated. Concubine Ling is vomiting non-stop and is extremely uncomfortable, so rest is the best option. Even eating, sleeping, walking, sitting, and lying down are already much more difficult for Concubine Ling than for the average person. She was frightened today, and with all the grief, her condition is extremely unstable. For the sake of her unborn child, it would be best to follow Concubine Ling's wishes and allow her to stabilize first."

The emperor looked suddenly enlightened, and his doubts about Fei Wan were dispelled.

Empress Yan immediately said, "Then let Shu'er follow Sister Zhao to Chunxi Palace. Sister Zhao, this is really troublesome for you. You are already weak, and you have to take care of Shu'er..."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what I should do. I am weak and have not yet been able to bear a child for Your Majesty. I have long felt indebted to you. Now, if I can take care of Sister Ling and the unborn child, I would be more than happy to do so."

Seeing Fei Wan's sensible attitude, the emperor's expression softened a little.

Seeing Gu Shu'er holding Fei Wan tightly, her face as pale as porcelain, the emperor couldn't help but feel pity and felt ashamed that he had been too harsh in demoting her so suddenly.

If I had known she was pregnant, I wouldn't have forced her to sleep with me...

So he ordered Fei Wan to take Gu Shuer back quickly and take good care of her.

All the way from Chenqian Palace back to Chunxi Palace, Gu Shuer held Fei Wan's sleeve tightly and refused to let go.

Fei Wan patted her like she was coaxing a child, and after returning to Chunxi Palace, she asked people to bring food, drinks, bedding, and all kinds of things suitable for pregnant women to take care of her.

At one point, Cao Bin personally brought people and brought a large amount of rewards to Gu Shuer.

There is also a share for Feiwan.

After Cao Bin left, Gu Shu'er sat in a large chair, surrounded by gold, pearls, jade, soups, snacks, silks, and even children's toys.

It feels like sitting in a pile of splendor.

But she herself was curled up in a ball, hugging her knees tightly, huddled in the chair.

Fei Wan saw that she was not in good condition, so he dismissed everyone and stayed with her alone. He stayed with her quietly without asking too many questions or saying too much.

The room was quiet, a warm breeze streaming in through the window, bringing with it wisps of gentle floral fragrance. The sun's shadow slowly moved across the ground, and Gu Shu'er's dull, empty eyes gradually drooped. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

Fei Wan covered her with a thin quilt, took a book from the bookshelf, leaned back in the soft chair and read quietly.

Military books are concise and to the point, and just a few lines can convey the overwhelming flashes of swords and flames of war.

Bring Fei Wan back to the days of fighting at the border.

The emperor said that we should double our joy.

Gu Shuer came at the right time, just in time to let Xie Weizhou's brilliance displayed in the army illuminate the emperor's eyes and make him feel that God is blessing him no matter in family affairs or state affairs!

That night, Yan Lai went to Chunxi Palace to visit Gu Shuer.

Gu Shu'er didn't want to see anyone, so she locked herself in the inner room. Empress Yan then talked with Fei Wan in the west room.

"It's great that she trusts you. I feel more at ease knowing she's here with you to take care of the baby. Otherwise, with her intelligence, living alone in Chengming Palace, she might be plotted against one day. But you, my sister, will have to work harder."

Fei Wan showed Empress Yan the list of gifts bestowed by the Emperor. "This isn't a hardship at all. My sister and I share the same feelings. We must keep this baby alive."

Empress Yan glanced over the various treasures on the list, a bright light flashing in her eyes: "Yes, it must be kept. If she can give birth to a prince, there will be no need to adopt Prince Lao Liu's grandson into the palace."

The legitimate eldest son of the emperor is more legitimate than the adopted eldest son, and being appointed as the crown prince and ascending the throne are no problem at all.

Seeing that the emperor had rewarded so many treasures, it was obvious that he valued this pregnancy very much, and Queen Yan was very satisfied.

Empress Yan discussed the division of labor with Fei Wan: "You take good care of Gu Shu'er, and I will control the concubines in the palace and prevent those with ulterior motives from plotting against you."

Everyone in the palace should work together to protect Gu Shu'er until she gives birth!

Just at this moment, the letter secretly sent into the palace by the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, Princess Qinghe, arrived.

Linglong didn't avoid Feiwan and handed the letter to Queen Yan. Queen Yan opened the letter in front of Feiwan, took a look, and curled her lips slightly.

"It's the same old story. Let me take good care of Gu Shu'er's baby and get pregnant as soon as possible. No matter if it's me or her, as long as a prince is born, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will do its best to help him become a successful person."

Empress Yan asked Linglong to write a reply, "Just say that I know and will live up to your trust. Seeing Shu'er pregnant, I suddenly realized that for women in the palace, the most important thing is to have children. I have a rift with my family because I was thinking wrongly and went astray. It's rare that my family is willing to support me. I will definitely be on the same side with the Duke's Mansion from now on. Please don't give up on me. Write this."

Linglong borrowed Feiwan's pen and ink and went to the cubicle to write a reply.

Queen Yan lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids.

After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You're helping my brother, helping the prince, but you've forgotten me. I'm not a decoration in the house, nor a tool for bearing children. I want them to see how far I can go!"

"elder sister."

Fei Wan reached across the table and held Empress Yan's hand.

"Sister, you can move on, you can see through things, but just don't hate. Life is short, be kind to yourself. If you want something, do your best to get it. If you can't get it, just let it go."

Queen Yan was very touched.

When he raised his eyes, his eyes were slightly red.

But she blinked back her tears, rolled her eyes, and sneered, "Are you lecturing me on the sutras and doctrines? I understand your sister very well, so why would I make herself suffer?"

She stood up proudly, "I still have a lot of things to deal with. As the mother of the country, how can I have a moment of leisure? I don't have time to chat with you!"

He walked away in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished writing yet..." Linglong had just written a few sentences in her reply when she realized that Your Majesty was about to leave.

Empress Yan angrily scolded her: "If you haven't finished writing yet, hurry up and finish it before you leave! I don't have time to wait for you!"

Linglong was completely confused and had to write quickly.

Queen Yan walked to the palace door with a stern face, and Fei Wan followed her closely, serving her carefully.

She turned around and saw Fei Wan's cautious look, and chuckled.

"Go back, I don't need you to send me off!"

Fei Wan blinked innocently and bowed respectfully: "Goodbye, sister."

"Um--"

Queen Yan dragged out the word "hmm" long and lingeringly, enjoying Fei Wan's humbleness and leaving with satisfaction.

A spring in his step.

Fei Wan looked at her back and smiled.

Working side by side and comforting each other, this friendship is rare.

I only hope that when we succeed in the future, we can still walk hand in hand, walk in the snow in the north and see the flowers in the south.

That day, Xie Weizhou's reply arrived, and just as Fei Wan had expected, he agreed with her suggestion.

In order to pave the way for the military competition, he also sent a memorial to the emperor, explaining in detail his way of leading the troops and his results, and also describing in detail the process of the fifty-man team wiping out six hundred bandits.

The memorial is written in a brilliant and elegant style, making people feel as if they are there.

When Fei Wan came to the imperial court to report on Gu Shuer's condition, the emperor was holding a thick stack of memorials from Xie Weizhou and reading them with great joy.

Seeing Feiwan arrived, he immediately pulled her to watch it together.

"Look, Marquis Wucheng has lived up to my trust. This young talent is truly outstanding!"
