The heavy rain has only lasted for three days, and the moat is already about to overflow. What would happen if the rain continued for another three days?

Now the general asked if there were any other good solutions, and Zhao Zexuan could only frown and say, "It's a pity that we've only been in Tongcheng for half a month and we don't know the terrain or the course of the rivers. If we widen the river channel rashly, it may cause other greater disasters. The only solution now is to wait."

The generals present shared this view, so none of them dared to make any rash moves.

Wang Cong, listening nearby and looking at the torrential rain outside, quickly said, "Then I will lead men to guard the city wall and keep a close watch on the moat."

Zhao Zexuan nodded, dismissed Wang Cong, and then said to the generals present, "The heavy rain has not stopped, and the people in the city must have noticed it long ago. During this time, you should calm the people down and prevent them from panicking."

"If this rain continues, some houses in low-lying areas will soon be flooded. You are responsible for comforting the people and helping them move to higher ground. Fortunately, there are several tall buildings in the city. If necessary, you can guide the people to higher ground for shelter."

"Yes, we understand." The generals stood up and replied.

The rain has made people anxious; the initial excitement has faded, and everyone is now staying indoors, hoping the rain will stop soon.

Su Li has been worried these past few days as she looks out at the heavy rain. If the rain continues, it could turn into a flood, which would be terrible. But there's no use being anxious about natural phenomena.

Instead of living in constant fear, it's better to think about good coping strategies and what to do if a flood really happens.

However, before Su Li could come up with a good strategy, she noticed some changes that had occurred in her recently.

She hadn't had an appetite for several days. At first, Su Li thought it was because her appetite had become picky and she couldn't get used to coarse grains. But even when she switched to refined grains from her space, she still had no appetite. That's when Su Li realized the problem.

"Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Could it be that I've been too anxious lately?"

Su Li thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the problem. She felt she needed to see a doctor sometime. Losing her appetite was not good; a healthy body was essential for survival.

It was raining, and thinking that everyone should be indoors, and since there was a doctor in the original group, Su Li decided to go out and find out what was going on.

However, just as Su Li closed the door and prepared to go find a doctor, a scene flashed through her mind, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Realizing that possibility, Su Li didn't bother to find a doctor and quickly pushed open the door to go inside and sit down to calm down.

From the time she arrived in this era until that incident, this body's menstrual cycle was always normal and punctual, never late. But now it has been more than a month since that incident, and it should have started by now, but there is no sign of it. Could it be as she guessed?

She had been too busy lately and hadn't thought about it, but now that she had, it was like a bolt from the blue, startling her greatly. What if it was really as she suspected?

Having never experienced anything like this before, Su Li was completely at a loss. She wanted to know if things would turn out as she suspected, but she was also afraid that if they did, what should she do?

Su Li was at a loss for what to do. She finally remembered what she had forgotten, but it was too late to regret it now.

Originally, Su Li had planned to go out to see a doctor, but she didn't go out this time. She was struggling with whether or not to see a doctor.

She remained in this dilemma until Zhao Zexuan returned.

Zhao Zexuan returned to his room and looked at Su Li sitting in a chair. He asked with some concern, "What's wrong? You look so restless."

As the other party appeared, Su Li was somewhat dazed. The words she was about to say remained unspoken. It's best not to speak carelessly about things that aren't certain, in case it turns out to be a false alarm.

Because of this concern, Su Li selectively avoided answering Zhao Zexuan's question, explaining, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about this incessant rain. I don't know when it will stop."

Hearing this, Zhao Zexuan dispelled his doubts and said, "It will probably be difficult for this heavy rain to stop. We can only take precautions. Soldiers are already patrolling the city. If the situation changes, we will arrange for the people to take shelter in high-rise buildings."

That's one way. Su Li nodded and said, "Then we need to start preparing. If we really get to that situation with so many people, we need to prepare food and other necessities as soon as possible."

"I've also considered this, but I haven't informed the people yet, for fear of causing panic," Zhao Zexuan explained.

Hearing this, Su Li shook her head and said, "There's no need to worry too much. It's better to tell the people directly than to keep it from them. That might be more effective."

"This rain is unusual. I'm sure some people have already noticed what's going on and are getting anxious. Maybe if you mention it to them, they'll feel more at ease. After all, it's better to have something to do than to do nothing and just wait around."

After listening to Su Li's suggestion, Zhao Zexuan thought about it carefully and said, "That's not wrong. I'll have the soldiers notify them one by one tomorrow."

Su Li nodded, and didn't say anything more this time.

There were many things to do during the day, so even though Zhao Zexuan noticed that something was wrong with Su Li, he didn't ask any further questions, assuming that Su Li didn't want him to know.

……

After a good night's sleep, the next day arrived quickly. Zhao Zexuan had already left home in the morning, and Su Li, after thinking it over all night, decided to find a doctor to take a closer look and see if things were really as she suspected.

At Doctor Liu's house, Doctor Liu is taking Su Li's pulse.

Su Li stared quietly at Doctor Liu's expression, feeling somewhat nervous, wanting to know what was going on.

Su Li was the general's wife, a fact well known to Doctor Liu. So when Su Li explained her purpose, Doctor Liu became extremely attentive and took her pulse with a respectful attitude.

After examining her for a while, Su Li couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Is something wrong with my body?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Liu quickly explained, "Madam, don't worry, it's nothing serious. You're pregnant, it's a joyous occasion."

Upon hearing this, Su Li's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. She was speechless for a long time. She had guessed before, but when the facts were right in front of her, she still found it unbelievable.

The child's arrival was unexpected and at an inopportune time, leaving Su Li somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Su Li remained silent for a while, while Doctor Liu assumed that Su Li hadn't yet processed the news of her pregnancy, so he earnestly advised, "Madam, your health is somewhat weak. You should rest well during this period, otherwise..."
