"Tomorrow, on New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet in the palace. Will you come?"

Xie An's eyes flashed, and he drank his tea as if he didn't care.

"Does Yi have to go too?"

Lu Jinan frowned, feeling that something bad might happen.

Seeing his nervous look, Xie An said slowly, "The Queen is ill, so she doesn't need to participate in such occasions. If... you are not feeling well, I can also allow you not to go." At worst, I will come to find you after the banquet.

Lu Jinan breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay as long as Nan Zhiyi didn't go. There were people coming and going at the banquet. She was about to give birth and couldn't afford to be disturbed at all.

"I am in good health, so it's okay for me to go."

Maybe it’s because it’s the last day, and no matter whether anything happens on the field tomorrow, he will die suddenly. In this case, it’s better not to stay here and scare Ayi.

For the last time, let’s spend time with this arrogant leader and Xie Zhujin.

However, Lu Jinan was still worried. Otherwise, he should find a secluded place to hide during the countdown. He really didn't know how to say goodbye to them.

He looked at Xie An, who was delighted to hear Lu Jinan's agreement, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty. Was he being a little cruel?

At this time, Xie An, who was already ecstatic, didn't notice Lu Jinan's current expression at all. Instead, he was thinking about what style of clothes Lu Jinan would wear tomorrow. After all, this was their first time to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Thinking of this, Xie An felt a little emotional. He felt that this year had passed so quickly, and it was already the end of the year. Next year, the Queen's baby would be born safely, and Lu Jinan would not be bedridden. Next year would be even better, and it would not be like in his dream. Xie An lowered his gaze.

Things will get better and better. When Xie Zhujin can take control of the overall situation and the queen gives birth to a child, he will take Lu Jinan and Nan Zhiyi to play everywhere. Only her brother can control the queen's naughty temper.

……

Lu Jinan felt a sense of nostalgia at night. Perhaps it was because he had come into contact with so many people in this world that he truly felt a certain attachment to it. Although his time was short, he hadn't seen Ayi's baby born yet. He wondered if its temperament would be more like Ayi's or the dog emperor's. He hadn't seen Xie Zhujin ascend to the supreme position, and he couldn't support him anymore. He also wouldn't see the emperor who always troubled him but secretly treated him well. He knew he truly cared for him, so he wouldn't let the entire Imperial Hospital be buried with him like the idiot domineering president literature!

The more Lu Jinan thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Sometimes he even cursed himself for knowing this crazy guy so well! He hurriedly wrote a letter to arrange his funeral, then folded the letter and put it in the envelope.

"Brother, what are you writing?"

Just when I didn't know where to put the letter, I heard Nan Zhiyi's voice.

He solemnly handed the letter to Nan Zhiyi and asked her to give it to Xie An later.

"Why are you coming to my place so late instead of staying at your house?"

Nan Zhiyi was wondering why Lu Jinan didn't give it to the emperor himself tomorrow. Wouldn't he be able to see him tomorrow? After hearing Lu Jinan's question, she put her doubts aside. No matter what, her brother must have his reasons for doing what he did.

Nan Zhiyi smiled embarrassedly and said that she couldn't sleep because she was inexplicably restless, so she sneaked over and wanted her brother to tell her a story before bed like he did when she was a child.

The Lu Mansion and the Nan Mansion did have a back door that connected to each other. This was a door that Lu Jinan, Nan Zhiyi and Nan Ziqian had built together when they were teenagers, just to make it easier for them to get together and run away.

Thinking about what happened in the original owner's memory, Lu Jinan smiled. It was true that young people were full of youthful vigor and things changed so quickly.

Lu Jinan touched Nan Zhiyi's head, which was not wearing a hairpin or a bun, and said helplessly, "Go lie down in your own room. This is just this once, and it won't happen again."

"Okay~" Nan Zhiyi happily jumped out of Lu Jinan's house.

He took out the lucky bag he had sewn for the child these days. It was the only time he had sewn it for her brother.

Nan Zhiyi lay obediently on the bed and let the imperial physician take her pulse first.

Because these two people might have problems at any time, Xie An had already asked these imperial doctors to stay in these two mansions, just in case of any unpreparedness.

This really made it convenient for Lu Jinan to protect the heroine's body at all times.

"Your Majesty is fine. Perhaps her mind is a little disturbed due to the upcoming clinical trial. Just drink the tranquilizing soup that Your Majesty sent you earlier."

Lu Jinan bowed to the imperial physician

"Then I'll trouble you, Imperial Physician. Go back and rest!"

After watching the imperial physician leave, Lu Jinan returned to Nan Zhiyi's bedside, tucked in the quilt for her, and then started to scold her.

"You're not drinking the tonic His Majesty sent you. It's good for your health!"

Nan Zhiyi blinked her big watery eyes and pouted her lips.

"But Yi feels so miserable."

Lu Jinan patted her forehead gently and said, "Good medicine tastes bitter. Didn't I buy you a bunch of candy?"

Nan Zhiyi turned her head away and said, "I just don't want to eat."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. But if you feel unwell, you must report to the imperial physician immediately."

Nan Zhiyi smiled with satisfaction. She sat up with difficulty and touched her round belly.

She felt that there was a little life growing inside, her brows were lowered, and her eyes were so gentle that they seemed to have melted into water.

"Brother is so kind that Ayi will be reluctant to return to the palace."

Lu Jinan looked at the girl in front of him, and he also reached out his hand to feel the heartbeat of that little life.

Nan Zhiyi looked at the surprised Lu Jinan with a smile on her lips. She was originally delicate and graceful, and now because of her child, she looked even more gentle and beautiful.

Lu Jinan was genuinely surprised that he could actually feel the baby's heartbeat.

Nan Zhiyi looked at this scene, and the smile on her lips slowly faded.

She gave a slight wry smile, stroked her belly, and concealed her expression, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Brother, if Xie An hadn't found me and I hadn't entered the palace, I wouldn't have been locked up in the red walls of South City, and I wouldn't have missed seeing my brother for the last time. I would be as carefree as I am now, marrying Brother Lu, giving birth to a child with Brother Lu, and being Nan Zhiyi all my life."

Lu Jin calmed her down and used his warm fingertips to gently wipe away the crystal tears from the corners of her eyes.

He just said in a gentle voice, "Are you scared, little Yi? Don't be afraid. Both of your brothers will be with you when you give birth."

He opened the window, and the bright moonlight poured into the room. He gently guided Nan Zhiyi to look out the window, "Look, your brother is also in the sky, protecting our little Ayi! Did you see that? He even flashed a little!"

Nan Zhiyi was amused by Lu Jinan's serious look. She raised her head and looked at the stars outside the window.

Nan Zhiyi looked at the brightest star in the night sky, and actually saw some of Nan Ziqian's charm. She couldn't help but laugh at her own thoughts that had been assimilated by Lu Jinan.

Yes, her two brothers are by her side, so she is not afraid.

Suddenly she felt something around her waist. She lowered her head and saw Lu Jinan squatting down and carefully tying a lucky bag for her.

The embroidery on the red lucky bag was rather sloppy, but one could still barely make out that it was a little tiger.

"I put some calming herbs in it. Wearing it can calm your mind and nourish your spirit. As an uncle, I don't have any special abilities, but I heard that the talismans in the Ji'an Temple are the most effective, so I embroidered some talisman paper inside. I wish my little nephew a safe birth and a smooth growth."

He took another piece of paper, dipped it in water, and gently wiped away the dried tears from the corners of Nan Zhiyi's eyes.

"Of course, I also wish my little Ayi a safe delivery and a happy and fulfilling future."
