Doctor Hong was equally surprised. He knew that this Mr. Xiao was not simple, and even knew that this Mr. Xiao had close ties with Yan, even guessing that Xiao Rongyan was a Yan spy sent to Wei...
But he never expected that he was Murong Yu’s brother, that he was... the ruthless Ninth Prince of Yan.
The lights flickered slightly in the side hall. Mrs. Dong sat next to Bai Qingyan, looking at Murong Yan, who was sincerely asking her to fulfill his request, and asked with anger, "How do you want me to fulfill it? Let Kid... marry you with Zhou? Or... you leave Yan and stay with my Kid?"
Murong Yan was silent for a long time. Instead, Mrs. Dong said first, "You say you won’t marry anyone but Kid, yet... the young ruler of Yan ascends the throne, you are the Regent Prince of Yan, asking you to leave Yan to be with my Kid, abandoning your nephew, can you do it?"
"Kid is now the Empress of Zhou, with the ambition to strengthen the people of Zhou, she cannot abandon Zhou. Tell me... with such identities as yours, how can Zhou and Yan’s current situation come together?" Mrs. Dong’s heart ached.
If her brother were still around, Murong Yan would surely choose to stay by Bai Qingyan’s side for Bai Qingyan and the child in her womb...
But Ah Li is still young. He has to support Ah Li forward until Yan is unified, fulfilling his mother and brother’s wishes.
Yet now he cannot let go of the pregnant Bai Qingyan.
"Yan..." Murong Yan’s throat rolled. His feelings for Bai Qingyan were true; it was true that he would not marry anyone but Bai Qingyan in this life, and it was true that he wanted to be with Bai Qingyan, but with such identities now... in the current situation, how can he satisfy both?
The Bai Qingyan he admires is not an ordinary woman; her ambitions and aspirations are not less than those of men...
Ah Li is young, Yan cannot do without him!
But Kid is pregnant, and as her husband and the child’s father, he cannot be with Kid and the child. How can that be?!
Not to mention, Kid’s body is already weak...
"Kid’s body has always been frail; not to mention this body hasn’t recovered well, working hard every day, not suitable for pregnancy, but you..." Mrs. Dong pursed her lips, not wanting to speak about complaints that would not help matters, the most important now is how to solve this issue, "It’s rumored outside that you and Kid have a marriage contract. Kid didn’t deny it at the national banquet, so... you marry Kid under the name of Xiao Rongyan, then return to your Yan. Whether Kid’s child can be born or not, it has nothing to do with you, Murong Yan. It belongs to our Bai family!"
As the Empress of Zhou has newly ascended the throne, the system of the harem has not been established. At this time, the harem system can refer to Xiliang, where the imperial husband does not easily appear except during major festivals.
"It’s just that since you, Xiao Rongyan, have become the royal husband of Zhou, you can no longer travel around under the name of Xiao Rongyan, deceiving others. Xiao Rongyan must completely disappear from this world!" Mrs. Dong was still angry, so her words were naturally unpleasant, "In this way, it can be considered a compromise."
Once the position of the royal husband is settled, the court officials will not try to send portraits of young talents to Kid, forcing her to choose a royal husband. This would deal with those overly enthusiastic court officials... such as Mrs. Dong’s brother, Dong Qingping, making it much easier for Kid.
But Xiao Rongyan was not concerned about identity or the child’s belonging, Xiao Rongyan was more concerned about Bai Qingyan’s health condition. He had already said that he sought a wife, not a child. He feared Bai Qingyan’s body could not withstand it.
