Chapter 220
Sending Li Shishi back to the dormitory, seeing her lying on the bed, Gongsun Qing gently kissed her on the forehead, then turned and left the dormitory.

But just as he walked out the door, Li Shishi called him softly: "My lord."

Gongsun Qing stopped and looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Shishi hesitated for a moment before saying: "If it's time to give birth, can you stay with me? I'm afraid..."

Gongsun Qing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Okay, I will guard you when the time comes."

Seeing the door of the dormitory being closed again, the room fell into a strange silence again.

Li Shishi was lying on the bed, touching the place next to Gongsun Qing that originally belonged to Gongsun Qing, as if something was blocking her heart, making her always feel tight in the chest.

As the months got older, her body became heavier and heavier. In addition to low back pain, she also found that her calves had begun to swell.

She has never experienced real pregnancy and childbirth. Although both Wanmiao and Wanran were born from this body, she did not come to this era at that time.

The scare of pregnancy is far more serious than that of those who have already given birth.

Now that Gongsun Qing is busy with state affairs, he hasn't been with her for a long time.

Originally, today she wanted to go to Gongsun Qing to act coquettishly, to talk about the hard work of her pregnancy, and the frost disaster in the north, Aunt Wu and the others wondered if they were all right.

But when she saw him sitting there frowning, there were a lot of things she wanted to tell him, but she swallowed them all back.

I just wanted to help him a little bit more.

Closing her eyes, she always felt that she was extremely hypocritical now, and couldn't help but shed tears.

When the sky was slightly bright, Gongsun Qing went to court.

There was a bustling crowd outside the door, although the sound was not loud, it still woke up the restless people who were sleeping in the dormitory.

After a long time, Xu Shi was too uncomfortable not to sleep all night, so she leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Qing Yan gently pushed her: "Madam, wake up, the prince is back."

Li Shishi suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Qingyan standing beside her and asked, "When did the prince come back?"

"A quarter of an hour ago, the prince seemed to be in a bad mood when he came back. Ma'am, would you like to..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Shishi quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes.

It's just that my stomach is too big now, and even bending over has become difficult.

Qingyan hurriedly squatted down to put the shoes on for Li Shishi, then turned around to get the cloak, trying to put it on for Li Shishi.

When he was fully dressed and going out, he bumped into Gongsun Qing head-on.

Stumbling into his arms, Gongsun Qing hugged her firmly and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you so flustered?"

Li Shishi raised her head, met Gongsun Qing's eyes, raised her hand to touch his face as if unsure, and then said: "It's okay, I just left in a hurry."

"It's windy outside, let's go into the house."

Helping Li Shishi into the house, Gongsun Qing ordered Qingyan to serve tea.

After Qingyan served tea and snacks, Gongsun Qing let her go down.

Looking at Li Shishi, he hesitated again and again, but still told her what he found out.

"I sent someone to investigate the matter you mentioned yesterday, and there are indeed clues."

"You mean seven..."

"Shhh, walls have ears." Gongsun Qing gestured to her to silence her, and then said in a low voice, "That matter involves a lot, and a final judgment can only be made after careful investigation."

Li Shishi nodded silently.

"I've been too busy recently. The ministers of the DPRK and China are all at war with each other. Although some ministers are willing to contend with the left under the operation, it is still a drop in the bucket." Gongsun Qing continued to whisper: "So this period of time will be longer than before. Be busy."

Li Shishi nodded: "I know, business is important."

Gongsun Qing sighed softly, got up and sat next to Li Shishi and hugged him: "I've been neglecting you all this time, I feel uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Li Shishi lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a while.

Gongsun Qing gently rested his chin on the top of her head, touched her belly and said slowly: "Nowadays, everything is complicated. As a husband, I am somewhat powerless. I also know that I have neglected you too much. When these things pass , the country is peaceful, let's find a quiet place and ignore all these disturbances, okay?"

Li Shishi hooked the corners of her mouth helplessly: "It's not easy to say, if you are just a countryman, this matter is not difficult, but now your status does not allow you to do this at all, it is better not to make such a promise .”

Gongsun Qing's heart skipped a beat, he looked down at Li Shishi: "You don't believe me?"

"No." Li Shishi shook her head: "I just don't believe in promises."

Gently pushing Gongsun Qing away, she sat up straight and looked down at her swollen belly: "Actually, this child came at a bad time. If we go back to the capital just to live a peaceful life as an idle prince, that's all. Not really. I'm not a fool, don't I understand such a simple truth?"

"Poems."

Li Shishi reached out and interrupted his words: "My lord, you are a lord, the burden on your shoulders is not something ordinary people like me can understand. But it is precisely because of the heavy responsibility on your shoulders that you cannot let go of some things easily. My lord, why do you need to make such an unwarranted promise? Doing so will only increase your troubles."

For a long time, Gongsun Qing did not respond.

Looking at Li Shishi, the complex emotions in his eyes were ready to come out.

Li Shishi gently held his hand and said: "I am the one who asked you to go back to the capital now, and I am the one who put all my heart and soul into getting you involved in this dispute. I say these words now just to let the prince Understand that if you want to win this victory, you must completely cut off the back road, so that you can move forward boldly and fearlessly."

Looking at Gongsun Qing, her eyes were frank: "No matter what, the prince must remember that I will always be with you."

Gongsun Qing's eyes were reddish, and there was a hazy mist in his eyes. Instead, he held Li Shishi's hand, opened his mouth a few times and finally didn't know how to express it.

He could only hug Li Shishi into his arms and hug her tightly.

After a long time, Li Shishi suddenly gasped.

She grabbed Gongsun Qing's arm tightly, and her whole body became terrified: "My lord! The amniotic fluid broke!"

Gongsun Qing lowered his head and watched the water flowing out from under Li Shishi's skirt.

He panicked immediately, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up! Madam is about to give birth, go find Mrs. Wen!"

Suddenly, the palace was in chaos.

Wen Po was dragged into the bedroom by the housekeeper.

And Li Shishi was lying on the bed, her face pale.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen hurriedly greeted her servants: "Hurry up and get the quilt, and prepare scissors, spirits, and hot water! Madam is about to give birth!"
