Chapter 1796 - Nothing Must Happen To You

Xie Limo got out of his deep thoughts and turned to look at Yun Bixue, looking worried and helpless as he put his own jacket over her.

He couldn’t resist chiding, “It’s cold outside. Why didn’t you put on a jacket before coming out?”

“I’m worried about you. Besides, my clothes are enough, so I really don’t feel cold.” Perhaps it had to do with her body constitution, being nearly ten months pregnant. Even though it was late autumn now, she didn’t feel cold at all.

Xie Limo shook his head and said, “When you start feeling cold, that’s when you’re going to catch a flu.”

Yun Bixue stuck out her tongue. She knew what Xie Limo was worried about. After all, pregnant women couldn’t just take any flu medication, and she would be the one suffering.

“I’ll bear in mind next time. But I’ve been waiting for you inside for so long, and you didn’t come back in.”

Xie Limo smiled gently and lifted Yun Bixue off her feet. “Let’s go back in now.”

Yun Bixue let out a gasp and quickly circled her arms around Xie Limo’s neck. She lowered her head and was startled to see her figure. “I’m so heavy, yet you managed to carry me?”

Xie Limo said gently, “No matter how heavy you get, I’ll be able to carry you.”

Actually, to him, this was nothing. Moreover, since he’s carrying his beloved woman, he naturally felt she was light.

Yun Bixue’s mouth twitched. “You and your sweet talk.”

“Alright, we’re home.” Once inside the house, Xie Limo placed Yun Bixue onto the sofa. Then, he got her to drink some hot milk while he prepared a hot bath for her.

After that, Xie Limo helped Yun Bixue shower and tucked her into bed.

Early the next morning, Xie Limo went out to work. When Yun Bixue woke up, she recalled she had wanted to ask him many questions last night, but forgot about it.

She slapped herself on her head and got up to eat breakfast.

In the morning, Yun Dong accompanied Yun Bixue as she watched television. But she was merely staring at the TV, looking dazed.

Noticing her distracted manner, Yun Bixue pursed her lips and said, “Yun Dong, why didn’t you look for Xie Liu recently?”

“He’s in the palace right now!”

Yun Bixue was about to drink some water when she heard Yun Dong’s words. She paused and looked deeply at the latter. “Has he been there these past few days?”

“Yes, he said he’s attending to some important matters.”

“If you’re bored, you can go there.”

Yun Dong shook her head and said seriously, “No, I need to keep Miss company. You’ll be giving birth soon, so nothing must happen to you.”

Yun Bixue nodded. But she started delving into deep thoughts.

Xie Liu had been at the palace?

She remembered Xie Limo had mentioned he was going to get Xie Liu to hypnotize Xiajun Yanwu.

But if he were to look for Xiajun Yanwu on his own, it would arouse suspicions. If Xiajun Yanwu was hypnotized when she went to the palace and blurted out some secrets, His Majesty would come to know of it. Majesty Kang and Majesty Huang would know as well if they were present...

Yun Bixue nearly lost her grip on her glass at the thought of this.

It was only her speculation, but she felt that there was an eighty percent chance it’s true, that this was exactly what Xie Limo was planning.

With a pounding heart, Yun Bixue asked, “Yun Dong, is His Majesty really in poor health?”

Yun Dong nodded. “Yes, Miss. Young Master Xie has tried a lot of means to keep His Majesty alive for another month, but perhaps the servants in the palace aren’t taking good care of him, that’s why His Majesty is in a perilous state. But with Young Master Xie around, everything will be fine.”

Yun Bixue pinched herself, feeling that something was amiss. “Yun Dong, do you think we have neglected something important?”
