The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1830

Chapter 1830: 901 Giving Birth (Chapter 1)

The light reflected off the snow illuminated the winter night, and the myriad of lights behind him brought a touch of warmth to the reunion amidst the wind and snow.

Princess Xinyang stared at him in a daze, momentarily forgetting to speak.

It wasn’t until he laughed softly again and said, "What? Are you so happy to see me, the Marquis, that you can’t speak?"

Princess Xinyang gathered her astonishment, frowned seriously, and refuted his previous remark: "I wasn’t crying."

She had cried in the morning, but that was for Qingqing, as she thought he was going to die.

Upon hearing the news that she couldn’t return, she hadn’t shed a single tear.

Marquis Xuanping said with a half-smile, "You were crying in your heart, I heard it."

Princess Xinyang: "..."

Princess Xinyang’s face darkened as she finally confirmed that the person in front of her was real, not some ghost that wouldn’t dissipate, nor someone disguised as a double.

He was who he was.

Marquis Xuanping, Xiao Ji.

Princess Xinyang turned her face away and muttered under her breath, "Still as infuriating as ever..."

She shouldn’t have felt sad for him; if the child had no father, so be it.

Who would want such an unreliable father?

"Weren’t you..." Princess Xinyang intended to say, "weren’t you dead?" But stopped herself, feeling that mentioning death during the Lunar New Year was inauspicious, so she changed her words, "Weren’t you supposed to have fallen into the ice lake... how did you come back so soon?"

"You actually knew about that..." Marquis Xuanping gave her a meaningful look, "Did you specifically send someone to Yan Country’s border pass to inquire about my news?"

Princess Xinyang’s fists suddenly itched.

Marquis Xuanping was precariously testing the limits and said nonchalantly, "I haven’t been gone for long, yet you’re so impatient."

Princess Xinyang touched the belly hidden by the wide cloak, took a deep breath: Can I beat him to death!

Truth be told, what happened that day was indeed dangerous.

Half of his body was crushed under the collapsed glacier, and the ice layer beneath him gradually cracked under the pressure, while the small box fell into the icy hole, carried away by the turbulent water.

He had told Long Yi that the items in the small box could save Qin Fengwan’s son’s life.

He didn’t specify which son it was, so Long Yi most likely assumed it was Xiao Hen.

He believed Long Yi would choose Xiao Hen.

But he seemed to have forgotten, only children make choices.

Long Yi was an adult, an exceptionally powerful one beyond everyone’s imagination.

At his command, the direwolf beside him leaped into the icy hole, and Long Yi split open the glacier.

Achieving this was by no means easy; firstly, the direwolf had to withstand Long Yi’s sword energy, and then it had to deal with numerous underwater dangers.

It was a direwolf stronger than the Spirit King of Darknight Island.

Truly, where had Long Yi acquired it?

He was already severely injured at that time, and he passed out quickly upon falling into the water. When he awoke, he was no longer on the glacier, but lying on a merchant ship heading to Zhan Country.

Long Yi was gone, and the small box was also missing.

However, he wasn’t panicked; he believed Long Yi had successfully delivered the items to Gu Jiao.

As for Long Yi’s painting, he knew nothing about it.

"You mean... Long Yi knew you were fine but deliberately said you were dead?" Princess Xinyang expressed disbelief, thinking Long Yi wouldn’t be so mischievous!

Marquis Xuanping: "..."

The journey for Marquis Xuanping was tough, his injuries never healed, and he rushed desperately after disembarking.

He was uncertain whether the antidote would be effective for his son, so he prepared for the worst. If it didn’t work, he had to return to see his son one last time no matter what.

"Qin Fengwan, Qingqing is alright, right?" He asked in a normal tone, trying his best to conceal his weakness.

"The antidote seems to be working, the imperial doctor said there’s no life-threatening worry, but he hasn’t woken up yet." Princess Xinyang said, pausing, then calmly added, "If you’re concerned, go in and see for yourself."

Marquis Xuanping smiled, "Alright, you go in first, I’ll be there shortly."

Princess Xinyang tightened her cloak and turned around. After taking two steps, she halted again, looked back at Marquis Xuanping, "You’re not too weak to walk, are you?"

Marquis Xuanping chuckled, "What? You want to support me?"

Princess Xinyang rolled her eyes, "Who wants to support you? I’ll go call someone—"

As soon as she said that, she recalled— to ensure the safety of her unborn child, she had sent the Dragon Shadow Guards to the fief, and Gao Qiang and the carpenter had already left, so there were no men in the mansion.
