After a good night's sleep, when Zhu Qing'an woke up, she found that Bian Jingsheng was still asleep beside her.

It can be seen that Bian Jingsheng was really tired, so he slept for so long.

At this time, outside the house, Fu Guang waved to the maids and said, "Go down and wait first. If the princess wakes up, it won't be too late to serve her later!"

Although Bian Jingsheng came back late at night without alarming anyone, the secret guards knew that Bian Jingsheng had returned, and Fu Guang naturally knew about it as he was on guard last night.

If that person was not the King of Loyalty, Fu Guang would have taken action long ago.

The sun had risen, and Bian Jingsheng finally opened his eyes. He first glanced around him, but found that there was no one around him, leaving only a faint fragrance in the quilt.

When I sat up, I found that Zhu Qing'an was already sitting at the dressing table, combing her long hair. Her posture was quiet and elegant, like a picture of a beauty.

"Why didn't you call me?" Bian Jingsheng put on his coat and came behind Zhu Qing'an.

He seldom slept so soundly and almost never overslept. This time it might be because Zhu Qingan was beside him, or maybe he was really too tired.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I can sleep a little longer!" Zhu Qing'an casually tied her hair into a bun. Because Bian Jingsheng was sleeping, she didn't ask anyone to come in to serve him. She washed and changed her clothes by herself so as not to disturb Bian Jingsheng's rest.

Bian Jingsheng walked forward, picked out a gold-plated hairpin and put it on Zhu Qingan's ink-black bun. He felt that Zhu Qingan in front of him was so beautiful that she didn't look like a real person.

Zhu Qingan blushed under Bian Jingsheng's fiery gaze and quickly pushed Bian Jingsheng away, "Hurry up and go! We have breakfast soon!"

Bian Jingsheng also knew that Zhu Qing'an was shy, so he stopped joking and went inside to wash up. When he came out, he saw that breakfast was already on the table.

Bian Jingsheng sat aside, waved his hand to let the serving maid leave, and personally served porridge to Zhu Qingan.

"I heard that the woman is pregnant and has a poor appetite. Are you okay?" Bian Jingsheng asked with concern. Bian Jingsheng only had a vague idea about the woman's pregnancy. What he was most worried about was that Zhu Qing'an would suffer.

"I really had no appetite for some time, but now I feel better!" Zhu Qingan drank the porridge in small sips.

"If you want to eat something in the future, just tell me directly, I will not leave you! Now, I will definitely take good care of you and your mother!" Bian Jingsheng swore secretly.

Thinking about it now, if his mother had not happened to be here at that time, who knows what would have happened to Zhu Qing'an and the baby in her belly. Even thinking about it, Bian Jingsheng felt scared.

"Now that His Majesty has become suspicious of the Marquis Wen'an's Mansion and the Prince Zhongyi's Mansion, you have more important things to do. Don't worry, I will protect myself!" Zhu Qing'an analyzed calmly.

Even though she really wanted Bian Jingsheng to be by her side, even if he did nothing, she would feel at ease. But Zhu Qingan knew better that now was not the time for them to indulge in romantic feelings. As long as everything was settled, their child could grow up without worries.

Bian Jingsheng also thought about what His Majesty had done in recent days, which was already a blatant attempt to suppress the Zhongyi Palace and a group of military generals.

"How is the Duanshenghua?" Zhu Qing'an asked about the matter that concerned her most. If she hadn't seen that Bian Jingsheng was too tired last night, she would have asked clearly last night.

Bian Jingsheng explained while having breakfast, "I've found the Broken Life Flower. I had it delivered to the Queen Mother at the palace last night. Now I'm just waiting for Miss Yang to prepare the antidote!"

Hearing the affirmative answer, Zhu Qingan also breathed a sigh of relief. The problem she was most worried about was finally solved. As long as her aunt was detoxified and safe, then everything could be planned slowly.

Next, Bian Jingsheng slowly told him everything that happened when he was looking for the Broken Life Flower. Zhu Qingan also understood that there were so many difficulties in the search for the Broken Life Flower.

The Night Alliance did not welcome Bian Jingsheng's arrival, and even though Bian Jingsheng had a distinguished status, he was still refused entry.

Afterwards, Jingsheng spared no effort to negotiate with Yemeng, and even broke into Yemeng several times at night to try to steal the Duanshenghua.

The two sides fought several times. The Yemeng was a powerful force in the martial arts world, with strong martial arts skills and unique styles. Bian Jingsheng also suffered a lot of injuries.

The best thing is that Ye Meng saw that Bian Jingsheng was too persistent and his attitude was very sincere, so he proposed a condition: a duel.

If Bian Jingsheng wins, the Broken Flower will be given to him. If he loses, Bian Jingsheng will have to leave.

"You won?" Zhu Qing'an took a bite of the vegetarian bun and asked curiously.

"Of course, I'm one against ten!" Bian Jingsheng was very proud. Although the martial arts skills of the people in the Night Alliance were very high, he had tempered them on the battlefield over the years.

"Are you hurt?" Zhu Qing'an asked, his eyes full of worry.

Bian Jingsheng didn't expect Zhu Qing'an to react like this, but he felt very touched. Because she cared about him, that's why she cared about him.

"No lying! No hiding anything!" Zhu Qing'an's voice rose and carried an order.

"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious!" Bian Jingsheng said indifferently. He loved the way Zhu Qing'an acted like a housekeeper at this moment, and hoped to be controlled by her for the rest of his life.

For some people, being restrained is a very painful thing, but for Bian Jingsheng, even being restrained and ordered by Zhu Qing'an is an extremely happy thing, and he is willing to do it.

"Really?" Zhu Qing'an didn't believe it and swallowed the bun in his mouth. "Let me see!"

She now had some understanding of Bian Jingsheng and knew that he only reported good news and not bad news. Naturally, she would not feel at ease unless she saw it with her own eyes.

Bian Jingsheng raised his eyes and said with a deliberately evil smile, "It's not right to take off your clothes in broad daylight, right? But if you want to see it, it's not impossible!"

Zhu Qing'an's face turned red after hearing Bian Jingsheng's words. She said it as if she really wanted to see Bian Jingsheng.

But she was really worried about Bian Jingsheng. Even though she was shy, she never turned her eyes away and just stared at Bian Jingsheng.

Bian Jingsheng sighed inwardly, it seemed that his beloved girl was not so easy to fool.

Putting down his chopsticks, Bian Jingsheng could only unbutton his clothes to reveal his snow-white inner garment beneath the thick outer robe.

Only then did Zhu Qing'an realize that Bian Jingsheng was wearing such thin clothes. Compared with Bian Jingsheng, he was wearing three layers of clothes inside and outside.

Even so, her body temperature was still not as high as Bian Jingsheng's. Bian Jingsheng's palms seemed to be always hot.

Bian Jingsheng took off his inner clothes directly. Zhu Qingan frowned, but just looked at the charcoal fire burning in the room and could only swallow his worried words.

When Bian Jingsheng stood in front of Zhu Qing'an with his upper body naked, she couldn't say a word.

She stood up and slowly walked to Bian Jingsheng's side. She didn't see Bian Jingsheng's strong and thin body, but only the scars all over his body.

Bian Jingsheng's honey-colored skin was covered with new and old wounds, and there was not a single healthy spot on his entire upper body.

Even though Zhu Qing'an didn't see it with his own eyes, he could still feel how dangerous those scars were at the time.

Bian Jingsheng originally thought that if he exposed his upper body, Zhu Qing'an would be too embarrassed to open his eyes, but he saw Zhu Qing'an in front of him blinking his misty eyes and tears falling one by one.

"Why are you crying? Are you scared? Don't be afraid! I'll ask the doctor to apply scar cream to these scars. They won't look too bad!" Bian Jingsheng was in a panic.

He used his hands to wipe Zhu Qing'an's tears, but was afraid that his rough palms would scratch Zhu Qing'an's delicate skin. However, as a grown man, he did not have the habit of carrying a handkerchief, so he could only stretch out his palms to catch Zhu Qing'an's falling tears.

Those tears fell on Bian Jingsheng's palms and also on Bian Jingsheng's heart.

"I'm not afraid! I just feel uncomfortable. You must be in so much pain with so many wounds!" Zhu Qing'an stretched out his fingertips and gently placed them on the scars. His heart felt as if it was being pricked by needles.

Bian Jingsheng was stunned. He thought Zhu Qing'an was frightened by these scars. After all, these scars were too ugly.

However, there was no disgust or fear in the eyes of his beloved girl, only heartache.

At this moment, Bian Jingsheng only felt that his cold heart was as if being blown by the breeze, as if being tightly held in someone's arms.

"Silly boy, it's all over!" Bian Jingsheng smiled. With a girl like this who cared about him, all the pains seemed to become unimportant.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes!" Zhu Qing'an took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. She was afraid that Bian Jingsheng would catch a cold, so she urged him quickly.

Bian Jingsheng put on his clothes and the two sat down to continue their breakfast, but Zhu Qingan obviously had no appetite.

"Are the new wounds on your back new ones?" Zhu Qing'an asked. She looked carefully and found that Bian Jingsheng only had new wounds on his back, and the others were old wounds.

Bian Jingsheng touched the top of Zhu Qingan's head to prevent himself from messing up Zhu Qingan's bun.

"I was accidentally injured at that time. I have applied medicine and it is only a flesh wound. It's nothing serious! Don't worry too much!" Bian Jingsheng coaxed.

Zhu Qing'an nodded. She was relieved because she saw that the injury was not too serious, otherwise she would have asked someone to find a doctor long ago.

After breakfast, Nanny Nian stood outside the house and did not come in to disturb the two of them.

"Your Highness, the old lady wants you to come over!" Nanny Nian said respectfully.

Zhu Qing'an pushed Bian Jingsheng's arm with a look of resentment on her face. Last night, Bian Jingsheng came to her place as soon as he came back, but did not go to pay his respects to his mother. It was really unacceptable.

Bian Jingsheng grabbed Zhu Qingan's little hand, kissed it, and then stood up. "I know!"

Nanny Nian then said, "The old lady said it might snow in the next few days, and asked if the princess would like to have hotpot for dinner?"

Zhu Qing'an didn't feel the urge to eat at first, but after Nanny Nian asked him this, he really felt like eating.

"Okay, Madam. Please ask me to thank the old lady for me. I'm sorry for the trouble!" Zhu Qing'an said with a smile.

Now that she has no meals, Old Madam Bian is extremely worried about her. But as far as she knows, Old Madam Bian actually dislikes these tedious matters the most. Before she came to this hot spring mansion, the old madam had never asked about these matters.

"You're too polite, Princess!" Nanny Nian said with a smile.

At this time, Wangshu walked over and stuffed a hot water bottle into Nanny Nian's hand. Nanny Nian looked down and saw that the hot water bottle was wrapped in a layer of brocade, which was also extremely valuable.

"Thank you for taking the trip in this cold weather!" Wangshu said politely with a smile.

Nanny Nian said it was her duty, but in her heart she looked up to Zhu Qing'an even more.

Zhu Qing'an never beats or scolds his servants at will, and he is also very kind to them. Therefore, during the time they have lived in this hot spring mansion, everyone from top to bottom likes Zhu Qing'an very much.

Bian Jingsheng left, and Zhu Qing'an got up and walked around the room to digest the food. She had always given instructions about the behavior of Wangshu and others.

She had followed her aunt since she was a child, so she naturally knew how to control her subordinates. She was never stingy with the benefits she should give, and never concealed her nice words.

Bian Jingsheng arrived at his mother's room. Before he could even salute, he heard a loud shout, "Kneel down!"

Without any hesitation, Bian Jingsheng knelt down and looked at his mother who was sitting in the main seat. Although she looked a little old, she was in better spirits than before.

Although Bian Jingsheng did not spend much time with his mother, he always respected her in his heart and knew how difficult it was for her. He was very filial to her in his daily life.

"You have really become more capable! Ah! Qing'an is a very kind girl, and you see how you bully her!" Old Lady Bian said, and she was so angry that she wanted to find something to hit her son.

"It's my son's fault!" Bian Jingsheng admitted his mistake.

"Being pregnant before marriage is such a terrible thing for any woman. This is Qing'an, she is open-minded. If it were another girl, she would have been nervous and aborted the child. And that day, if I hadn't rushed here, my granddaughter..." The old lady said, with a lingering fear.

Bian Jingsheng fell silent. He was also scared by the consequences of this incident. It was his fault. If he had been more alert, he would not have failed to notice that Zhu Qingan was pregnant, leaving her to face so many things alone.

"I'm going to say this today. If you can please Qing'an and marry her, I'll let you go! If you let Qing'an and my granddaughter wander around outside, I'll no longer recognize you as my son!" Old Lady Bian warned.

The more they got along, the more Mrs. Bian liked Zhu Qing'an.

"Don't worry, mother!" said Bian Jingsheng. He wanted to welcome Zhu Qing'an into the house more than anyone else, but Bian Jingsheng knew in his heart that Zhu Qing'an was not the kind of woman who would be willing to marry him just because she was pregnant, so he did not mention this matter last night.

"How can I rest assured? I can see that Qing'an is just like the Empress Dowager. You can't use her pregnancy to threaten her to get married. If..." Old Lady Bian said, feeling a little uncomfortable, "If she doesn't want to, you can't force her. The happiness of them is more important than anything else!"

It can be said that Old Madam Bian really regards Zhu Qing'an as a beloved junior, so she considers Zhu Qing'an so much and is even willing to fulfill her wishes.

Bian Jingsheng nodded and felt slightly relieved.

Fortunately, my mother and Zhu Qing'an get along very well. But think about it, a good girl like Zhu Qing'an, surely no one would dislike her.

In Bian Jingsheng's heart, Zhu Qing'an deserves everyone's love, whether it's his mother or others.

If someone doesn’t like Zhu Qing’an, then it’s definitely not Zhu Qing’an’s problem.
