After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 202 This child must not be kept!

That all-too-familiar face—who else could it be but Lu Shi'an?

Xia Li frowned and looked at him: "Lu Shi'an, what are you doing here?"

The onlookers gasped in shock: "It's the demonic cultivator Cang Yan!!!"

Oh, so he's a demonic cultivator here.

"Ah Li, you actually married him?" Cang Yan asked, his face filled with resentment.

"Cang Yan, today is my wedding day with Yu Yang, don't you dare cause trouble!" Xia Li said angrily.

That madman!

Don't do anything out of line.

"Hmph, A-Li, you should belong to me. Today I will take you away." Cang Yan said as he launched an attack.

Yu Yang shielded Ali behind him and engaged in fierce combat with Cang Yan.

However, Cang Yan practiced evil arts from a tricky angle, and Yu Yang, mindful of the others, was temporarily at a disadvantage.

Ah Li was extremely anxious and rushed forward without regard for the danger, standing in front of Yu Yang.

Cang Yan was shocked: "A Li, you care about him so much?"

Just then, a bright light flashed, and the old imperial advisor made his move.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he subdued Cang Yan: "How dare a demonic person ruin a joyous occasion? They are truly audacious."

With Cang Yan subdued, the crisis was averted.

Yu Yang held Ali's hand tightly. Ali looked at Yu Yang with determination in her eyes. The two embraced, and the guests breathed a sigh of relief.

"You didn't get killed, you've got pretty good reflexes."

Just then, two people appeared out of thin air in the sky.

"Even if you react quickly, you'll still die!" The other person didn't say much, and was about to condense a fireball to throw at him again.

"People from the Qingxu Sect?!"

Okay, okay, so these people don't want him to have a proper wedding, right?

The old imperial advisor waved his hand again, and the two instantly vanished into thin air.

Before they died, they couldn't understand how the old Grand Tutor, a mere mortal, could so easily destroy them.

The wedding was successfully completed, at least.

But the Qingxu Sect is almost wiped out.

Xia Li, holding Yu Yang's hand, smiled and said, "For our honeymoon, how about we visit Qingxu Palace?"

……

After attending the wedding, Zhao Jihua returned to the palace.

With huge dark circles under his eyes, Nangong Jing cried out, "Your Majesty, you're finally back!"

Zhao Jihua: "..."

Promising?

She sat down at her desk, picked up a memorial to the throne, and began to review it.

He said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest now."

He walked around behind Zhao Jihua and slid his hands down her shoulders: "When my wife wasn't around, I was really exhausted. Would you like to help me relax?"

"..."

Nangong Jing began to get restless.

Zhao Jihua slapped his hand away. "Didn't you say you were tired? You seem quite energetic."

“With my wife here, how can I complain of being tired?” He reached out and touched her again.

Zhao Jihua felt a chill run through her body!

She only discovered after they got married that this man, who looked respectable on the outside, was actually very promiscuous!

……

One month later.

Recently, Zhao Jihua has been feeling very sleepy and often feels nauseous while eating.

After examining her, the imperial physician bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are... pregnant. More than a month has passed, and both mother and child are safe..."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing excitedly hugged the person and kissed them repeatedly, saying, "Ahua, you're amazing!"

Zhao Jihua said shyly, "Stop fooling around, there are still people here..."

Imperial Physician: !!!

They'll be gone soon!

The imperial physician hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare two doses of medicine to prevent miscarriage."

After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Nangong Jing carefully pulled her into his arms, a smile he couldn't suppress playing on his lips.

We're having a baby!

Zhao Jihua gently stroked her still flat belly, her eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation, her mind already beginning to picture what her child would look like in the future.

"Yes, we have a child..."

The room was filled with a sweet and warm atmosphere.

Just as they were immersed in the joy of the arrival of a new life,

"Report—"

The two men who received the urgent military report immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, as soon as it was opened, the contents of the letter exploded like a thunderbolt.

The soldier knelt on the ground and stated, "The Miao people launched a surprise attack on the southern border in the dead of night. The situation is critical, and war is imminent. The people are suffering terribly. We beg Your Majesty to send men to suppress the Miao people immediately."

Upon learning the news, Zhao Jihua gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision.

With red eyes and a choked voice, she told Nangong Jing her decision: "Jing, there is unrest in Miao territory, and the people there are suffering. As the emperor, I cannot stand idly by. This child... we may have to give up on him for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing's eyes were filled with shock and reluctance. "Ahua, someone else can go. There are so many people in the Sixth Department..."

Zhao Jihua said, "Ah Jing, they all went there with eyes full of fear or hatred. If things are not handled well, only I can go to Miao territory and bring peace between the two sides."

He gripped Zhao Jihua's hand tightly, trying to dissuade her: "Ahua, this is our first child..."

“I know, I love him very much too. But the situation in southern Xinjiang is turbulent and there is always danger to my life. I can’t take care of him.”

"Then can't you just not go?"

"I have to go."

For the first time, two people who had always been loving and harmonious had a disagreement.

Zhao Jihua was adamant about aborting the child, while Nangong Jing tried his best to save it.

For the first time, she raised her voice at her: "Aren't you afraid the child will blame you?"

Zhao Jihua: "..."

Seeing her silence, Nangong Jing suddenly realized that he had been a bit too intense.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just... sigh..."

Nangong Jing deflated and slowly revealed the scars in his heart.

It turns out that he had been beaten by his birth mother before, but she failed to abort him. Instead, his birth mother died in childbirth.

This matter remained buried deep in his heart, becoming a pain he could never erase.

This is also why he was particularly opposed to Zhao Jihua; he was afraid that the child would become the next him.

Zhao Jihua hugged him and gently comforted him, "You did nothing wrong, you just wanted to save another version of yourself."

Nangong Jing buried his face in her chest, deeply moved, "Ahua..."

Zhao Jihua said, "This child still needs to be aborted. The only thing to blame is that he came at the wrong time. If the child is kind, he will understand me; if he is heartless, this child must not be kept!"

Nangong Jing wanted to persuade her further, but seeing his wife's determined eyes, he finally shut up.

Despite her deep sorrow, Zhao Jihua forced back her tears and made that extremely painful decision.

When it was all over, she dragged her weakened body, her heart filled with reluctance and sorrow.

But when he looked toward the Miao region, his eyes revealed determination and resolve: "Prepare the carriages, let's set off immediately."

Nangong Jing said, "Ahua, why don't you rest and recover before you go?"

Zhao Jihua: "The situation on both frontiers is critical and cannot be delayed. I will go by carriage, which will also allow me to rest."

She resolutely embarked on her journey to the Miao region.

Nangong Jing, filled with worry, stood there watching her departing figure for a long time.
