Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chu Yueli glanced at Zisu, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Zisu sighed and said helplessly, "Miss, I know many things about you, but if you don't want to talk about them, I won't ask."

"Perilla..."

"Miss's period is two months late."

Zisu's words made Chu Yueli's eyes darken, and she said helplessly, "I am indeed pregnant."

Zisu didn't seem surprised, but she was a little worried: "How long have you known?"

"Not long, just a few days." I hadn't been feeling well before, and when I was sparring with the white-robed sect leader, I suddenly felt that I couldn't gather my true energy.

But this discomfort wasn't constant, clearly not due to internal injury.

She wasn't always unable to use her inner energy, but she would occasionally feel a shortness of breath. From then on, she began to suspect that something was wrong with her body.

It wasn't until the second time something felt wrong that she remembered she should take her own pulse.

Although it is said that a skilled healer cannot heal himself, she could not be so incapable of not being able to detect pregnancy.

“Miss, about this…” Zisu looked back and thankfully realized that she had closed the door when she came in.

She asked cautiously, "Besides you and me, who else knows?"

"Lu Fengjin".

"Prince Jin!" Zisu almost cried out in surprise!

How could Prince Jin know about something so important first? Besides, Prince Jin is now considered half an enemy by the young lady.

If he finds out, will he use this weakness of the young lady to his advantage?

“I was attacked last night. Prince Jin suddenly appeared and helped me, but he noticed that something was wrong with me and I couldn’t hide it anymore.”

Chu Yueli let out a long breath, glanced down at her lower abdomen, and felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

The child's arrival was truly ill-timed. During this period, Lu Beimo traveled to Southern Mongolia, and she faced obstacles at every turn in the capital.

Everyone was making plans, except for Mo Wang, who was far away and unable to participate in anything.

She wasn't plotting anything, but she had to safeguard the safety of the capital for her husband.

But at this very moment, their child was born into her womb.

“Miss, don’t worry. Heroes emerge in troubled times. Our young master or young lady will surely become a great hero in the future.”

Since it's already a fait accompli, no amount of thinking about it now will change the current situation.

"However, Miss, have you found out who is trying to assassinate you?"

“They all escaped, and those who didn’t commit suicide by poisoning themselves. We can’t get any information out of them.” Chu Yueli shook her head and, with Zisu’s help, got off the bed.

"Things will work themselves out; there's always a solution. However..."

She looked at Zisu and said seriously, "Don't tell anyone about this for now, whether it's someone in the Prince's Mansion or the aunties in the Duke's Mansion."

"Is Miss worried that they won't let you touch the thunder bombs if they find out?"

Although Zisu had never seen the workshop at the bottom of the cliff with her own eyes, she knew from their descriptions that it must be a very dangerous place.

In truth, Zisu was also uneasy.

She wrung out a warm towel and helped Chu Yueli wash up. Then she whispered, "Miss, you must take care of yourself. You went there a few times before and came back injured each time. They don't know, but I know very well that if you damage your vital energy, it will harm the baby in your womb! Miss, you can't do anything reckless!"
