It took them two full days to get from Ping Cheng to Li Cheng. Due to their speed being slow, Ji Tian Ning was worried that being too tired and bumpy would affect the baby. Hence, she asked Kant to slow down several times.

"My lady, I have reported it to the marshal. It's just that because the marshal has to recuperate at this time, it's inappropriate for others to know that his injuries are not serious, so I can't personally come to greet you."

"Kant, don't make all these useless gifts, I'm very tired, hurry up and send me to the city to rest." Of course, I want to heal your marshal myself. "

Ji Tian Ning yawned. After pregnancy, she would always get drowsy. The symptoms of lethargy were getting more and more severe.

Kant looked worriedly at Ji Tian Ning. In his memories, this girl was always full of energy and was very mischievous. He had never seen her this lazy and flirtatious.

He couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, Ji Tian Ning had a peculiar charm. She was extremely charming, causing Kant to be intoxicated by her.

Kant quickly lowered his head, cursing himself for being a bastard. How could he dare to have such thoughts about the marshal's woman? However, he also knew that there were quite a few people in the army who had strange intentions towards Ji Tian Ning. Many soldiers loved Ji Tian Ning very much, and some even had a crush on her.

"Miss Ji is smart, bold, straightforward, candid, adorable, beautiful …"

He pulled out his fingers, but couldn't count the advantages of Ji Tian Ning. They were the weird things of the ancient times, the lack of restraint, and the revealing of his clothes. In his eyes, those were also advantages.

After entering the Li City, the carriage arrived at the temporary marshal's residence, which was the original Li City Guardian's residence.

Ji Tian Ning didn't see a handsome figure until she stepped out of the carriage at the garrison's entrance. This figure was none other than the handsome man who was currently gazing at her from the depths of the garden.

That person wore an inconspicuous light green robe, but it was not the same white robe that he used to wear with the flickering lotus flower patterns. Thus, Ji Tian Ning was stunned for a moment and was unable to react.

"Ning'er, you're here."

Shang Qiuyuan walked over and grabbed Ji Tian Ning's hand, pulling her into the depths of the garden. When Ji Tian Ning looked back, she realized that there was no one else around. The two of them were the only ones left, holding hands and walking around.

"I heard you're injured. How are you?"

"It's just a small injury, not worth mentioning. If I don't do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicions of others." It's just a little trick, to bring you to me from my royal father's side without a hitch. "

"You're so crafty."

Ji Tian Ning was nestled in Shang Qiuyuan's embrace. She hadn't seen him for a month, but her heart had already been filled with longing. She sniffed the scent of the white lotus that made her heart at ease. At this moment, she had temporarily forgotten about everything else. She was enjoying this rare moment of peace and happiness. How she wished that this could last forever.

His heart was still uneasy. At this moment, even though Monk Qiuyuan was together, how could he solve the troubles in the future?

"What should I do in the future?"

"Ning'er, don't worry about this. Leave everything to me." Your husband should do his duty as a husband, so you can stay here and rest in peace. "The Iron Guards are all around here. They will use their lives to protect you, and nothing will happen to you."

"There is no such thing as absolute."

Ji Tian Ning slightly frowned. The safety of this place was relative. If the reverse scale and the Shoulder King wanted to do something, then there would be no such thing as nothing at all. After all, Shang Qiuyuan was now an official of the Southern Champion Kingdom, so he had no choice but to comply with the will of the Fire Inverse Scale, and even more so could not go against the orders of the King.

"Ning'er, you don't have to worry. You just have to rest in peace and let me take care of everything." I also want to see my child born as soon as possible. Too much worry is bad for the child in your womb. "

Shang Qiuyuan held onto Ji Tian Ning's slender waist, understanding what Ji Tian Ning was worried about. "Even if there's an accident during a time of war, it's normal. "I said to the outside world that you died from an illness due to a weak body. Your Majesty doesn't have the energy to care about this matter right now. With Imperial Father taking charge, this matter will become a foregone conclusion."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. If Father knew that I was pregnant and you used a plan to bring me here, you would be in danger."

Ji Tian looked at the handsome face beside him. He had already angered the White Horse Emperor because of her. If he were to lose the trust of the King, he wouldn't be able to stand up again.

It was already a capital offense for Shang Qiuyuan to forcefully take her away from the army camp that day. The reason why the Fire Lin had not only failed to punish Shang Qiuyuan, but had also been bestowed with a reward was largely because the nine heavens of the palace had played a role in it.

Of course, because of the severity of the injuries, the Fire Ni Lin knew that it was time to use someone, so he endured it.

Ji Tian Ning was well aware that the Fiery Inverted Scale was not someone who would forget about this matter. The famous' Cold Blood Sovereign 'of the Five Kingdoms would definitely not let a man who touched his woman get away with it.

LI Tiantian was a living example. What she was worried about the most was that in the future, when Huo Ni Lin borrowed this matter, he would do something unfavorable to Shang Qiuyuan. She knew that the Fire Ni Lin could do this. If the Sovereign King wanted to punish an official, even if this official had rendered a great merit, it was still an easy thing.

Unless this official was like the King of Shoulder and Shoulder, had the military power and power to topple nations, and was even able to fight against a king. That was the only reason why the Fiery-Scaled Race did not dare to provoke him.

However, she was also clear that Shang Qiuyuan was still far from being able to achieve his goal of revenge without the support of the reverse scale of fire and the Shoulder King. If she were to stay here, although Shang Qiuyuan could say that she had died from illness or an accident, the news would definitely not be concealed for a long time.

"He will not allow Qiu Yuan to deceive him like this. This matter still requires a good plan."

However, Shang Qiuyuan decided that no matter what, he must protect Ji Tian Ning and the child in her womb. He absolutely could not let her and her son suffer any more losses. Otherwise, his life would be filled with endless regrets.

Shang Qiuyuan told everyone that he was severely injured from the battle, so he stayed in the garrison to accompany Ji Tian Ning.

He had also thought about how to deal with this matter. However, he also understood that no matter how he handled it, there would always be future troubles. Even if he were to tell others that Ji Tian Ning had died and that this matter would be handled by the king, and that the king wouldn't allow the king to offend the king, the king would have to endure it and not let him get away with it.

Perhaps, because of the current injuries of the Fiery Inverted Scales and the situation of Fengyuan, the Fiery Inverted Scales would not touch him for the time being. In the future, when the situation of Fengyuan stabilized, it would be difficult for him to return to the Southern Champion City.

During this month, he had been trying his best to increase his strength and make arrangements for the future. He was preparing to use his time to strengthen his own forces so that he would have the ability to make the reverse flame scale fear in the future.

However, he also understood that this wasn't a one-day affair.

Ji Tian Ning's matter involved two people. One was the reverse scale of fire, and the other was the nine heavens of the palace. And these two, were the two people who represented the highest authority in the Southern Champion Kingdom, neither of them he could afford to offend.

The only way was to rely on one of them to make the other one wary. However, now that Ji Tian had become pregnant, he hid the Fire Inverted Scales and the Shoulder King. If the two of them found out, he would not be in a good mood.

By doing so, Shang Qiuyuan was helpless. He could not let Huo Ni Lin know that Ji Tian Ning was pregnant, much less tell King Jian.

"Let Ning'er stay here for a few days before reporting to my royal father that I have a child in her womb. I once promised that my first child would inherit the surname of the palace, and I believe that my royal father will bear this matter in mind. In that case, I can only put my heart and soul into it and stand by royal father's side. This should be something that he has always wanted to see. "

He secretly calculated in his heart. He wanted to wait for a while and tell Gong Jiu that Ji Tian Ning already had a child to resolve this matter.

Even so, he understood that there would be a lot of trouble in the future. Not to mention how the Fiery Inverted Scale would respond, even if it was Gong Jiu himself, he would still be suspicious of him using the excuse of being injured to get Ji Tian Ning out.

With the intelligence and suspicion of the Nine Heavens Palace, they would have definitely thought that Ji Tian Ning was pregnant and must have been hiding it from him all along. Thinking of the child in Ji Tian Ning's womb, her father was worthy of reminiscing.

"Or, let Ning'er completely disappear and find a place to give birth to her child. It would only make it difficult for her to disappear for such a long time. If royal father asks, how should I report it? "

Shang Qiuyuan was also in a dilemma. How to deal with Ji Tian Ning and her child was the greatest headache he had ever faced. He watched as Ji Tian Ning's abdomen stood upright day by day. If he wanted to hide it, he would be unable to do so sooner or later. As long as Ji Tian Ning was still here, the news would be leaked sooner or later.

There must be spies with the Fire Inverted Scales in the group of King Jian and his underlings. Similarly, there shouldn't be a lack of spies with the nine heavens of the royal palace beside the Fire Inverse Scales.

He knew even more that it was impossible for the King of Shoulder to not have arranged for a spy to spy on him. It was just that the people within his garrison were all deathsworn that originally surrendered to the Southern Champion with him, so there was no need to worry too much.

Unless he could hide Ji Tian Ning from everyone, even if he couldn't be seen by anyone else, the birth of the child would alarm them and it would be impossible to keep it a secret.

"Ning'er, how are you today?"

There was a gentle smile on Shang Qiuyuan's face, as if he didn't have the slightest bit of worries as he walked into Ji Tian Ning's room in the backyard. He would never reveal his troubles in front of Ji Tian Ning. He would leave all of his troubles to himself so that she could rest in peace and wait for her child to be born.

"Yes, Qiu Yuan, you've worked hard. You've lost a lot of weight recently."

She could not help but feel pain in her heart. How could she not know that even though Shang Qiuyuan had put in so much effort for her sake, he had never brought it up in front of her, lest she get too worried?

"Ning'er, child and you, are you alright?"

"Very good. Qiu Yuan, you don't have to worry. You have to know that I am a genius doctor. I will take good care of myself."

Shang Qiuyuan bent over and placed his head on Ji Tian Ning's stomach, listening to the rhythmic movements of the child in his womb. The smile on his face grew even wider. Now, he had someone he could protect with his life.

"It's been three months, and the weather is warm now. I reckon that by the time the maple leaf turns red, the child will be born."

"I'll make things difficult for you, Ning'er. Later on, I'll ask my Royal Father to help us manage the wedding ceremony and officially marry you to my sect. At that time, you'll be my wife, and no one will be able to snatch you away."

"Alright."

Ji Tian Ning snuggled against Shang Qiuyuan's embrace. How lucky was she to be his wife, but could she really be like this?
