Of the people present, only Bai Ruo and Meng Ling Xuan knew about it. Thus, when the emperor and Meng Ling Xuan saw that Song Xiang Si had been brought here by Bai Ruo, their reactions were different.
The two of them were still playing chess, but Meng Ling Xuan's mind was no longer on the game. He was thinking about how to play with Bai Ruo, and that was his problem.
"Come here!" With a few words, Song Xiangsi obediently walked to his side and pulled her to take a closer look.
Other than feeling that Song Xiangsi had recently lost weight, he also felt that there was a trace of Bai Ruo's aura on her body. This made Meng Ling Xuan a bit jealous. He raised his head and looked at his brother.
"When did you return?" Meng Ling Xuan was well aware of the reason behind Bai Ruo's departure back then, so when he saw her now, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Just now, I coincidentally bumped into the crown prince's consort outside the palace, so I brought her here on the way." He didn't mind Meng Ling Xuan thinking too much about what Bai Ruo said.
It was just that Song Xiangsi was still not himself in her heart. Right now, he was only a guardian.
"Ai ai ai!" What are you guys talking about? This game of chess is not over yet. Since your wife is here, you should avoid it. "Oh Bai Ruo, come and finish this fight with me."
The Emperor was naturally very excited to see his brother, whom he had not seen for a long time. In any case, playing chess with Meng Ling Xuan was the most boring. He lost every time. He could compete with Bai Ruo in power. At most, he would just win, then he would just give her one or two items.
Looking around, there weren't many valuable things left in the current palace. Those who fought and killed were all gone, Bai Ruo probably didn't see anything good anymore.
"Why do you want to come to the palace? Is my mother's wife doing well? " Other than Song Xiangsi, the thing that Meng Fanxuan couldn't let go of the most was the safety of his entire manor.
In the past two days, he had been paying attention to the situation outside the palace, and knew that Shangguan Xiong's men had taken control of the entire capital city.
"Alright, I just want to see you. "If Crown Princess Dingdong was worried about you, I wouldn't be able to rest easy either." Song Xiangsi spoke with a heartache. As she held Meng Ling Xuan's face, she felt a twinge of heartache.
Logically speaking, the emperor's reinforcements should be arriving soon. However, the return of the soldiers at the border also meant that the enemy could break through the border at any time.
"Don't worry about us. For you, I will protect myself. Our rescuers will be here soon, so don't worry. "
Meng Ling Xuan was talking to Song Xiangsi patiently. He knew that Song Xiangsi must have really missed him these past two days. Although everyone in the palace was very scared, they still maintained their normal operations.
"I just want to see you more. I have some good news to tell you." It's been so long. They should have a child by now.
Due to the arrival of this little fellow, Song Xiangsi's appetite had grown recently. But for some reason, he still looked somewhat thin.
"What is it?" I think I'd be glad to know it would make you so happy. " If he saw his wife happy, he would be happy.
To be honest, Meng Ling Xuan couldn't think of anything good to tell him. He couldn't think of anything that Song Xiang Si could tell him under these circumstances.
If she had any way to repel Shangguan Xiong, it would simply be impossible. But other than that, he could not think of anything else.
"You're going to be a father!" Song Xiangsi was the second person to know about this news. Meng Ling Xuan was the first person she had shared it with.
Indeed, she was going to be the first to tell this news to Meng Ling Xuan, the father of the child in her womb.
"It's hard to put into words the expression on his face." I'm going to be a father? I'm going to be a father! "
Excitement was inevitable. He had always been looking forward to having a daughter as cute and lively as his wife. Perhaps now, his dream would come true.
"How many months has it been?" How come I didn't realize this? They did seem to have been negligent recently, I didn't expect my wife to be pregnant.
"Two months. Still too young. The doctor said that he is in good health, and will naturally grow in good health. " The reason he had come to the imperial palace in such a hurry was because he wanted to immediately inform Meng Ling Xuan of this news.
Song Xiangsi had only recently found out that she was pregnant. It was just that she had unintentionally let Xiao Xiao's doctor treat her as well, and just so happened to tell her that she was pregnant.
"Thank you, my wife. Don't worry, I won't treat you two unfairly." Meng Ling Xuan happily shared this matter with his two bros who were playing chess. However, they seemed to have no interest whatsoever in having a brother becoming a father.
On the contrary, he felt that the outcome of this game was more important. The two of them were deadlocked and even their expressions showed that they were thinking of how to defeat the other party.
"What is the capital now? Why is the emperor still in the mood to play chess here?" Song Xiangsi had initially thought that their lives in the palace would be very tough. When she came over to take a look, she realized that it was very different from what she had imagined.
"The emperor had just placed his white piece under the table, and it took him a long time to decide what to do with it." What do you mean by that? Why can't we have some entertainment? "
He had only been planning to speak with Meng Ling Xuan, but he hadn't expected everyone to hear it.
"Your Majesty, don't mind me. I didn't mean that. I just thought that you two were discussing countermeasures seriously. With Shangguan Xiong surrounding us like this, it's not like we can't do anything. "
Although there was no progress on either side now, they were both clear that Shangguan Xiong could attack at any time.
"What you said makes sense. Haha, I won!" The emperor looked at his own chessboard. Indeed, playing chess with Bai Ruo gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Song Xiangsi ignored him. It was fine as long as he was by Meng Ling Xuan's side. Although the palace was in chaos, she still felt at ease.
Previously, there were even palace maids who wanted to steal away the master's money before sneaking out of the palace. However, they had all been discovered at the entrance of the palace, and had then been executed. Right now, the people outside could not come in, and the people inside could not go out.
Meng Ling Xuan didn't want his children to see his uncles being so cynical, so he carried Song Xiang Si to the other side.
"The scenery here is not bad. If you read more, your mood would be better, and it would be good for your child." The books he had read when he was young were finally of some use.
Song Xiangsi was confused. This was a place after the war, and even if it had once looked good, now it could only be described as desolate.
Meng Ling Xuan was actually telling him to admire this place? Could it be that this place wasn't miserable enough?
"How about... Let's wait until the war is over before we think about parenting. "
