Reborn Together: The General and I Reach for Power-Chapter 466 - 463: Can’t Endure, Happy New Year’s Eve

Chapter 466: Chapter 463: Can’t Endure, Happy New Year’s Eve

Xie Liangchen could hardly believe it. She clearly felt nothing, so how could she be pregnant?

She was really going to be a mother?

Song Xian went out to report the good news and invited Old Mrs. Chen into the room.

Old Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Didn’t I say so? This girl didn’t notice at all." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Xie Liangchen looked at her grandmother, "How could you have thought..." If she didn’t trust Mr. Xu’s medical skills, she would probably doubt whether it was true.

Old Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "You usually seem lively as can be. How long have you slept on this journey? But your appetite is still good, no different from usual. It might be because the month isn’t full yet."

Mrs. Gao laughed and said, "It has to be the eldest sister-in-law. Her eyesight is better than anyone’s."

Old Mrs. Chen was delighted, her granddaughter was pregnant, and she was the first to know the good news. When she returned, she would definitely offer a tall incense to the Kitchen God.

"Alright," Old Mrs. Chen said, "The food is ready, have a meal and then rest."

Old Mrs. Chen, Xu Tingzhen, and Mrs. Gao left the room.

Song Xian, who had been standing by the bed, finally sat down slowly.

Song Xian took Xie Liangchen’s hand and gently caressed the back of her hand. Xie Liangchen looked at Song Xian, "Is this true?"

Song Xian’s clear eyes seemed to be covered with a thin mist. He said softly, "It’s true, we have a child."

Song Xian gently embraced her, holding her in his arms, "Even though I have been looking forward to this, now I find it hard to believe. Before I met you, I never thought this day would come, having someone I love, having a family like this, and having my own flesh and blood."

Xie Liangchen nestled in Song Xian’s embrace. She had also never thought two unrelated people would be so connected, and now with a child, it seemed as if she and Song Xian were bound by blood from this point onwards.

In her past life, she lived many years, yet never knew she could live so differently.

Song Xian brought a robe to dress Xie Liangchen and helped her put on her shoes.

Xie Liangchen was about to get off the ground, but Song Xian picked her up again.

Song Xian said, "Let’s go, let’s have a meal."

"Put me down," Xie Liangchen said, "I can walk by myself."

Song Xian refused, only saying, "You’ve worked too hard these days, have a good rest."

Was this truly unyielding?

"Alright, then carry me," Xie Liangchen said, "Ten months of pregnancy, don’t put me down."

Song Xian stopped in his tracks, looked her in the eye, "Alright, not just ten months, even a lifetime I can carry."

Since Mr. Xu diagnosed her pregnancy, several matrons were added to serve Xie Liangchen. Upon returning to Zhenzhou Chen Family Village, Old Mrs. Song also visited.

Everyone in Chen Family Village seemed to have guessed the happy news, but no one dared to mention it, fearing it might scare the fetus spirit.

Yang Shuyin said, "It’s perhaps best not to let others know this news for now." Liangchen is still in the early months, even the slightest disturbance might frighten her.

The Emperor was worried about Song Xian and their lineage of Prince Guangyang. If someone were to meddle...

Song Xian noticed Yang Shuyin’s concern, whispered, "Mother, don’t worry. I’ve sent more people to ensure neither the Emperor nor Prince Lu’s men come near."

Yang Shuyin trusted Song Xian. What she was worried about was the Emperor. After escaping death, she didn’t disclose her identity to the court, because after being surrounded by the Pseudo King and the Liao people, her parents noticed something. Her mother told her the Emperor appeared magnanimous and kind, but in truth, who knows what thoughts he harbors.

Even if at the time there was no concrete evidence, she could almost certainly believe the tragic deaths of her parents and brother were related to the Emperor. She had intended to investigate after exposing Xiao Xingzong... but unexpectedly this burden fell to Liangchen.

Yang Shuyin asked Xie Liangchen to rest, then she went to the outer room, and Song Xian soon joined her.

Yang Shuyin looked at Xie Shao Yuan and Song Xian, "Let’s go to the east room to talk."

The three of them sat down in the east room, and Song Xian served his father-in-law and mother-in-law hot tea.

Yang Shuyin hesitated before saying, "There’s something I’ve been keeping from you all, and now that Liangchen is pregnant, I think it’s best to reveal it so everyone can be vigilant."

Song Xian nodded.

Yang Shuyin continued, "You should have seen the proclamations written by Prince Lu’s people. Now there are rumors that the Emperor covets my mother..."

Yang Shuyin frowned as she said this.

Seeing this, Xie Shao Yuan hurriedly asked, "A Yin, could it be that you know something?"

Yang Shuyin took a deep breath, "It might be true."

There was a flash of surprise on Xie Shao Yuan’s face.

Yang Shuyin continued, "When Prince Guangyang Mansion was besieged, someone tried to rescue my mother and me, but my mother refused."

Xie Shao Yuan asked, "Was it the Emperor’s people?"

Yang Shuyin nodded, "I overheard bits and pieces; my mother asked that person to figure out a way to save my father, but that person refused and advised my mother to look ahead."

Everyone understood what these words implied.

Xie Shao Yuan couldn’t suppress his anger, "This beast."

Song Xian recalled the time Liangchen entered the palace and felt watched; now, thinking back to his mother-in-law’s words, his previous suspicions were confirmed.

Yang Shuyin said, "Liangchen is pregnant, don’t let her know about such rumors, lest it disturbs her mind."

There were some internal details that Yang Shuyin didn’t speak of. After being rescued, because the court needed to suppress Prince Lu’s rebel army, she didn’t go to the capital to offer thanks. The Emperor sent eunuchs to visit her; she always felt the eunuchs kept staring at her face.

This feeling was truly strange.

Given all this, she worried even more for her daughter, who knows what kind of thoughts this perverse-minded Emperor might conjure.

"The Emperor has never had a son," Yang Shuyin looked at Song Xian and said, "Now that Liangchen bears your child, it might provoke some trouble again."

Song Xian’s eyebrows remained calm, his gaze increasingly profound, "I know, this act of unity between ruler and minister, I no longer plan to perform with him."

"In this battle with Prince Lu, the Emperor has been too impatient, causing the court to suffer greatly early on, making more people favor Prince Lu, so the Emperor seems as if he’s being roasted above a fire. The Emperor is narrow-minded and can’t tolerate such doubts, and might even consider an imperial campaign."

"An imperial campaign is indeed a drastic measure, after all, it’s the Royal Army; Prince Lu should not be an opponent. However, it will also exhaust most of the Emperor’s energy."

"Even if the Emperor acts quickly, it should take at least a year and a half. In this year and a half, it’s enough for me to prepare."

Xie Shao Yuan knew Song Xian had been preparing, but didn’t expect actions to occur so swiftly.

"Thanks to Liangchen," Song Xian said, "The North now has looms and blacksmiths’ shops, enough to fund an expedition. Prince Guangyang passed away so many years ago, and the Emperor’s stolen throne should be returned."

Faced with such a tyrant, one can’t yield, otherwise, he will take more liberties. The best solution is to remove him from the throne as soon as possible.

Xie Shao Yuan said, "But there’s still Prince Qi."

Song Xian replied, "I haven’t informed my father and mother, but I know a secret about Prince Qi, enough to send him to his death."
