Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Empress Xiande was envious. Shen Miao paused for a moment. A trace of pain flashed across Emperor Yong Le’s eyes. A moment later, he said, “Pack your things and move to the palace tonight. Your pregnancy must be kept a secret now. You can be better protected in the palace.

Shen Miao was slightly stunned.

Empress Xiande quickly said, “That’s right. Although Long Ye seems to be peaceful, at this juncture, it’s better to be safe than sorry. As for Jingxing, send a message to him secretly. .

“Your Majesty.” Shen Miao suddenly said, “I have a request to make.”

Empress Xiande said, “Tell me.”

“Please hide this from His Highness first.” She said, “His Highness is on the journey to war now. If he finds out about this, he will inevitably be distracted.

It’s better to hide it.”

Empress Xiande and Emperor Yong Le looked at each other. Empress Xiande said, “You’re right. But we don’t know when Jingxing will return, and you have to endure a long period of loneliness. I’ve seen many women who hid the news of their pregnancy for various reasons, but the process was extremely aggrieving. Can you stand it?”

“I won’t feel aggrieved.” Shen Miao smiled and subconsciously placed her hands on her stomach. When she found out that she was pregnant, she immediately felt that there was a small life in her body. That was really a wonderful thing. She said, “If the outcome is good, no matter how aggrieving the process is, it’s all worth it.”

“Alright.” It was Emperor Yong Le who spoke. He looked at Shen Miao and said, “In that case, we won’t tell him.”

Just as Empress Xiande was about to say something, Shen Miao nodded at

Emperor Yong Le and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Forget it.” Empress Xiande sighed. “However, from tomorrow onwards, stay in the palace. I will announce that I want you to enter the palace to accompany me, in case anytone becomes suspicious.”

This time, Shen Miao did not decline. It was indeed safer to stay in the palace.

For the sake of the child in her stomach, Shen Miao did not mind.

Seeing that she agreed, Empress Xiande immediately instructed Nanny Tao to find the side hall closest to the Weiyang Palace to let Shen Miao live there.

Because of this incident, when Shen Miao returned, it was already night.

Seeing that she was finally back, Uncle Tang heaved a sigh of relief. Luo Tan had also returned from outside. When she found out from Jingzhe and Gu Yu that Shen Miao was pregnant, she was surprised and happy.

Uncle Tang was so happy that he did not know what to say. Shen Miao told them not to tell Xie Jingxing. Now that he was fighting a tough battle, it was not good for Xie Jingxing to be distracted. Uncle Tang nodded, but he still felt sad. He said that he would burn incense for Empress Dowager Xiao and let her know the good news.

Luo Tan was very curious. She wanted to touch Shen Miao’s stomach, but she did not dare to. In the end, she carefully placed her hand on it and felt it for a while before saying, “Why don’t I feel any movement?”

“It’s only been a month. How can there be any movement?” Shen Miao laughed.

“However.” Luo Tan looked at her. “Little Cousin, aren’t you going to tell Uncle and Aunt? If they know, they will definitely be very happy..”
