Mrs. Dong let out a long breath, suppressing the anger in her heart. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said sharply, "In that case, let’s choose a date for the wedding! Given Xiao Rongyan’s identity, he should follow by passing away as royal consort. When the world is unified, you can use Xiao Rongyan’s identity to return to Kid and the child, but Xiao Rongyan’s identity must never be used again!"
"A Yan, thank you, Mother!" Being able to gain Mrs. Dong’s consent filled Xiao Rongyan with gratitude. He kowtowed again, "Mother, could you allow A Yan to say a few words to Kid."
Mrs. Dong glanced at her daughter, then at Xiao Rongyan still kneeling on the ground, put away the handkerchief, and said, "You are not yet married. Do not be in private too long. Soon, I will have someone summon Minister Lord Dong into the palace to discuss preparations for this matter. As for Xiao’s relatives... The fake identity created by Yan, let Yan come up with a solution!"
Xiao Rongyan hurriedly kowtowed to Mrs. Dong, saying, "Mother, rest assured!"
Seeing Mrs. Dong rise and leave with a wave of her sleeve.
Xiao Rongyan straightened his spine and remained on his knees to respectfully see Mrs. Dong off. It was only when she stepped over the threshold that he lifted his robe and got up, noticing Doctor Hong sighing, also preparing to leave. Xiao Rongyan immediately bowed deeply to Doctor Hong, asking, "Doctor Hong, is there any significant impact on Kid’s health now that she is pregnant?"
Doctor Hong heard Xiao Rongyan’s concern for Bai Qingyan and felt somewhat relieved, saying, "There is certainly an impact. Our eldest girl was frail from an early age. It would affect even physically strong women when pregnant."
"Doctor Hong..." Xiao Rongyan solemnly bowed again, "May I ask if it would endanger Kid?"
"It doesn’t seem life-threatening, only that Zhou is newly established with many affairs to attend to, and it’s clear how busy our eldest girl is. If she carries on with such fatigue, it will increase the burden on her body." Doctor Hong frowned, looking at Bai Qingyan, who was gazing back at him.
This pregnancy truly took Doctor Hong by surprise. Although Bai Qingyan’s cold condition had improved, Doctor Hong still thought it’s unlikely she could conceive. If this child were lost, Bai Qingyan might not be able to have children ever again.
Moreover, miscarriage drugs are typically potent and extremely cold; our eldest girl’s cold condition has just improved... After taking medication, the child would be lost, along with her health.
Doctor Hong was also caught in a dilemma. If our eldest girl’s health was robust, all would be well, but the issue is that her health is already poor.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rongyan’s fists clenched tightly at his side, hesitating momentarily with downcast eyes. He bowed again to Doctor Hong: "Doctor Hong, I cannot always be by Kid’s side. If Kid could smoothly carry this child, it would be wonderful, but if it harms Kid... please, Doctor Hong, make Kid your priority!"
Bai Qingyan’s hand gently tightened over her belly.
Doctor Hong glanced at Xiao Rongyan and for some inexplicable reason, recalled Qin Lang. He remembered hearing for the first time about putting the wife before the child, which Qin Lang told him when the second girl had a premature birth with a breech position, and Qin Lang held him, asking to prioritize the second girl at all costs.
Doctor Hong witnessed Xiao Rongyan with much more favor now and nodded: "Naturally!"
Xiao Rongyan respectfully bowed to Doctor Hong as he exited the palace door, then turned, his eyes reddening, looking at Bai Qingyan.
"Kid..." Xiao Rongyan slowly approached Bai Qingyan, kneeling on one knee on the footrest, softly kissed her hand, then lifted his hand to clasp Bai Qingyan’s nape, pressing their foreheads together, tearfully apologizing, "I’m sorry! I’m sorry..."
