This news spread throughout the capital like a bolt from the blue, and people fell into panic.

Yanmen Pass is one of the most important checkpoints in Murong State. If it is breached, the enemy army will be able to advance straight into the city and directly threaten the safety of the imperial city.

Murong Bai felt extremely heavy when he learned about this.

He was well aware of the seriousness of the current situation and that he had to leave immediately, but he couldn't bear to disturb Shangguan Qing.

He silently stared at Shangguan Qing's peaceful sleeping face, his heart full of contradictions and helplessness.

He didn't know how to tell her the news, nor could he predict what would happen in the future.

Shangguan Qing seemed to sense something, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Murong Bai with a worried look on his face.

She gently stretched out her hand and gently smoothed Murong Bai's furrowed brow.

"But what happened that worries you so much?"

Murong Bai smiled slightly, his eyes full of apology: "Qing'er, your husband will leave for Western Xinjiang tomorrow, and I will also rescue your father-in-law. You wait for me at home, and then we will go to Dongli together."

This time it was Shangguan Qing's turn to frown. She looked at Murong Bai with a look of grievance: "We have to go sooner or later. It doesn't matter if we get there earlier, but aren't you going to take me with you?"

Murong Bai felt even more guilty. He sighed and said, "Qing'er, it's my fault. This was all my decision, but the enemy has already breached Yanmen Pass. This trip is extremely dangerous. As your husband, I cannot let you take this risk."

Shangguan Qing said very straightforwardly, "Okay, then go ahead!"

Murong Bai was stunned. He didn't expect Shangguan Qing to be so direct. He quickly grabbed Shangguan Qing's hand and said softly, "Qing'er, please don't be so petty. You are pregnant now, and the journey is long. Even with a car, it will be very bumpy. I really can't bear to see you suffer."

Shangguan Qing suddenly started chatting and looked at Murong Bai with a resentful look on her face.

"So? You think I'll let you suffer? I won't help you? It's precisely because of the danger that you need me more."

Murong Bai hurriedly held Shangguan Qing's hand and explained gently.

"Qing'er, it's not like that. I know you've always been brave, but this time the situation is different. We don't know what's waiting for us. Besides, you haven't been feeling well lately and you've been sleeping a lot. I'm afraid you'll be too tired and sleep all the time. I'm really worried about you and the baby."

A warm feeling welled up in Shangguan Qing's heart. She never thought that Murong Bai's worry was due to her sleepiness.

She smiled and said, "I see! It's perfectly normal for pregnant women to feel sleepy! Don't worry too much. I once said that once I've decided on you, I'll never leave you."

However, Murong Bai's worries did not dissipate, and his face was still full of sorrow.

Shangguan Qing simply said, "Well, since you don't want me to go with you, then you can go alone. As for where I will leave later, you don't need to worry about it."

Murong Bai said helplessly, "Qing'er, please don't scare your husband, okay?"

Shangguan Qing snorted coldly, "Everything I said is sincere. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

How could Murong Bai dare to try it easily?

"Qing'er, I will take you with me, but you must obey my instructions. If you encounter danger, you must hide in the space and never show yourself."

Shangguan Qing nodded, but thought to herself that she should just agree to it for now. Anyway, she would be the one to take control of the situation when the critical moment came.

Murong Bai looked at Shangguan Qing's serious expression, as if he had guessed what he was thinking.

So he reached out and gently pinched her cheek, saying softly, "Oh, my lady, I'm truly defeated by you. Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you and your child."

After hearing this, Shangguan Qing's mood suddenly became cheerful and he even started to joke.

"Oh? Why not mother and daughter? Do you, Murong Bai, also have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls?"

Murong Bai quickly waved his hands and shook his head, denying it. "No, no, no, Qing'er, please don't misunderstand me! It's absolutely impossible. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's yours, I will love it."

Guan Qing nodded, a satisfied smile on his face, and continued to ask: "Then Murong Bai, do you want to know whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl?"

Murong Bai shook his head and replied, "No, I've already said it before, whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll like them very much."

Shangguan Qingbai glanced at Murong Bai and said with a hint of pouting, "Murong Bai, I'm not kidding you. Since you said that, don't you want to know in advance?"

Murong Bai asked doubtfully, "Is it okay?"

Shangguan Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Of course! Is there anything that Xiao and the other two can't do? Come, let me take you to see our baby."

Murong Bai was overjoyed after hearing this and was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He hurried to the space with Shangguan Qing.

When he arrived at the B-ultrasound room, Shangguan Qing felt inexplicably nervous and couldn't help but hold Murong Bai's hand tightly.

Murong Bai was extremely excited, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He asked curiously, "Erha, can I really see Qing'er and my child through this machine?"

Erha answered confidently, "Of course! Not only that, we can also clearly see every part of the baby's body. After a while, when the baby is a little older, we will also conduct a comprehensive examination of all his organs to ensure that everything is normal."

Shangguan Qing became increasingly nervous, her voice filled with tenderness and love: "As long as my child is healthy, I don't ask for anything else."

For every pregnant mother, this is a necessary emotional journey.

They only hope that their children are safe and healthy, but as children grow up, parents often have more expectations and demands of them.

Murong Bai's eyes were full of smiles.

He gently stroked Shangguan Qing's hand and said softly, "Yes, as long as they are healthy, my children don't need to do anything. I just want them to grow up happily."

At this time, Erha had already applied the coupling agent on Shangguan Qing's belly, then skillfully picked up the ultrasound probe and began to operate it.

As the ultrasound probe slid, the child's photo was clearly projected onto the screen.

Erha explained as he did it: "Look, this is the baby's head, and this is the heart... Hey, these two little guys are facing each other, so cute, haha..."

Murong Bai looked at the image on the screen and became incoherent with excitement.
