A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Chapter 345 Yes, we have a child!

"For you, for A-Ling and Yan'er, I have already retreated again and again."

"The Emperor's great kindness will be forever unforgettable."

"However, you must promise me one thing."

"Ok?"

Baili Juebi withdrew his hand, then coughed twice, looking somewhat unnatural.

"In any case, you must persuade A-Ling to acknowledge me as his elder brother before I will agree to your relationship."

“This…” Shui Yi bit her lower lip, looking even more conflicted than before.

"What? You can't do it? Or... are you afraid to see him?"

"Your Majesty, I...I'm sorry to A-Ling."

Baili Juebi was annoyed by her guilty expression and waved his hand in front of her.

"Alright, Shuiyi, remember this: no matter who you choose, before that, you must first be yourself, the proud and brave Shuiyi. I dislike your indecisiveness the most. If you can't let go of A-Ling, then make it clear to him."

Shui Yi lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. After making up her mind, she looked up and gave him a grateful smile.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."

"Humph!"

Baili Juebi arrogantly turned his head away. He should have forcibly taken Shuiyi as his own, but now he was advising her to go to another man, even though that man was his own cousin.

"Don't forget, you need to make A-Ling acknowledge the Baili royal family and his identity."

"Okay, then I'll go find Ah Ling first thing tomorrow morning."

Shui Yi nodded, her eyes shining brightly, and an irrepressible smile of joy curving her lips.

Seeing her like this, Baili Juebi sighed helplessly in his heart.

Suddenly, a fiery red figure flashed through his mind, his expression changed, and his eyes turned strange.

"Water Memories".

"Ok?"

"That woman named Hua Buyu..."

"Buyu? What happened to Buyu? I haven't seen her in a long time either. I heard that the Emperor arranged for her to stay in A Ling's palace. I'll go see her together tomorrow."

Her joyful and excited tone left Baili Juebi at a loss for words, after all, A-Ling and Hua Buyu did indeed have a child, Shui Yi…

"Shuiyi, if you find out in the future that A-Ling is not a good man, will you return to my side?"

She frowned, puzzled, and mistakenly thought he was referring to deceiving Xin Moling.

"If A-Ling does not forgive me for what I did yesterday, I have nothing to say. Shui Yi once said that A-Ling is the only one in her life. Even if she spends the rest of her life alone, she will have no regrets."

"..."

Baili Juebi's face suddenly darkened, even though he had already anticipated this outcome.

"Emperor?"

"fine."

"Your Majesty, Xing'er truly has feelings for you..."

Before Shui Yi could finish speaking, he glared at her fiercely.

"Why are you joining in this nonsense? I watched Xing'er grow up; she's my little sister, but I also treat her like my daughter."

"Ke Xing'er..."

"Xing'er was born extraordinary; she has her own destiny."

He waved his hand and then stood up.

"It's getting late, you should get some rest."

After saying that, Baili Juebi turned around and strode away, leaving Shuiyi with only a lonely silhouette.

"Shui Yi respectfully bids farewell to the Emperor."

Although the final conversation left Shuiyi somewhat bewildered, thankfully the outcome was positive. She smiled gently as she looked towards the doorway. No matter how cold and ruthless the Emperor might be to outsiders, he would never allow himself to suffer any injustice, not even now…

The next day, before Xin Moyan even opened her eyes, she stretched lazily in bed. Although she wasn't feeling refreshed, she had definitely slept comfortably.

"Yan'er, you're awake?"

"hold head high?"

She turned her head sharply and saw her brother leaning against the bed, smiling gently.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Xin Moling sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to tuck a few stray hairs from her face behind her ear.

“Yan’er drank too much last night, and your brother was worried about you, so he brought you to the bedroom to take care of you.”

Xin Moyan's mouth was slightly open, her expression blank.

"Yes...that's right. I remember I even had my brother carry me on his back, didn't I?"

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and get some hangover soup."

"Then...brother, will you take care of me here for the night?"

"Hehe~ I'll sit right here. Don't worry, Yan'er is sleeping soundly and isn't causing any drunken trouble."

Seeing that frightened yet embarrassed little expression, he quickly gave her a reassuring look.

"Really...really?"

"Yes, Yan'er, get up and wash up first. There's medicine brewing in the kitchen. I'll go check on it first."

"Oh!"

Xin Moyan nodded obediently, although she didn't quite understand what brewing medicine meant. Did they also have a hangover cure?

Xin Moling was also thoughtful; early in the morning, she sent someone to the Ziwei Palace to call Xiaodie over so that she could serve her younger sister at any time.

After Xiaodie finished helping her wash up, she sat down to pour herself a glass of water. Before she even arrived, her voice preceded hers; that bold and unrestrained voice came from outside the door.

"Yanyan!"

"Yan Yan, I heard you're up!"

Hua Buyu rushed over in a hurry, her striking red dress making her face appear even more charming and flamboyant.

"Buyu, I didn't embarrass myself last night, did I?"

"No, no, we brought you back as soon as you were drunk."

Hua Buyu waved her hand, revealing a bright smile.

"That's good!"

"Yan Yan, are you sober yet? I have something to tell you, so be prepared."

She leaned closer, speaking in a rarely serious and mysterious tone, which startled Xin Moyan.

"I...I'm sober now! Why are you silent? What happened?"

"Pah, pah, pah! What could possibly happen? It's a good thing."

"Good thing?"

"Hmm!"

She suddenly sprang up, stood in front of Xin Moyan with her hands on her hips, and looked extremely proud and arrogant.

"Hehe~ Yan Yan, look at me, do you notice anything different?"

"Yes, I've gained... a little bit of weight."

She answered tentatively, afraid that silence might indicate she was unhappy about gaining weight.

"Exactly! Then guess again..."

"What are you guessing for? Hua Buyu, do you have to keep me in suspense?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Moling brought out a wooden tray with two bowls on it.

"You've come at the perfect time; the medicine is ready."

Hua Buyu's face fell instantly; she was utterly depressed.

"Can I not drink it?"

"no!"

"Buyu, why are you taking medicine? Are you feeling unwell?" Xin Moyan immediately became anxious.

Just then, a figure in light blue quietly approached the door.

"I'm not feeling unwell, I'm..."

Seeing Xin Moyan staring straight at her, Hua Buyu suddenly blushed.

"I'm pregnant, and this is some medicine to help prevent miscarriage."

"..."

Xin Moyan remained completely still, her brain processing the information she received word by word.

"Yan Yan, are you crazy? I'm really pregnant!"

"You...you...have a baby?"

"Hmm!"

"who?"

Catching a glimpse of a figure at the door, Hua Buyu had a sudden inspiration. She instantly hooked her arm around Xin Moling's and rested her head on his shoulder, smiling shyly and blissfully.

Yes, we have a child!
