The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 328 Warmth in Tears

Night fell over the military camp, and the campfires outside the tents flickered in the breeze.

Li Cunxu stepped out of the tent, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings before finally settling on Qiu Ziyue.

She sat quietly outside the tent, her shoulders trembling slightly, a few strands of hair ruffled by the wind and clinging to her cheeks.

Li Cunxu didn't say much, but simply beckoned to the guard commander beside him:

"Stop the poisoning of Qi Yuxuan and the others, give them the antidote, and improve their food, but don't untie them." The guard commander nodded in agreement, quickly relayed the order, and withdrew.

Li Cunxu's heart stirred, and he stepped closer.

He saw that Qiu Ziyue's usually resolute eyes were now filled with sadness and helplessness, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

He knew that as a female general, Qiu Ziyue was known for her iron-fisted methods, but in matters of the heart, she was so gentle and kind.

“Ziyue…” Li Cunxu called softly, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness.

Qiu Ziyue raised her head, her eyes still revealing endless sorrow.

Li Cunxu walked to Qiu Ziyue's side, handed her a piece of pure white silk, and said softly:

"Don't cry." Qiu Ziyue took the silk handkerchief, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered:

“Cunxu, release Yuxuan. I promise to stay a little longer. Okay…”

Li Cunxu sat down beside her, gazing at the distant campfire, his tone softening:

"Okay, I'll think about it. Don't cry."

Suddenly, Qiu Ziyue frowned slightly, a wave of nausea rising in her heart. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and turn to the side to vomit.

Li Cunxu held a piece of clean white silk in his hand and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Twilight Sparkle, are you alright?"

Li Cunxu's voice was full of concern and worry.

Qiu Ziyue nodded weakly, her face as pale as snow and her lips slightly chapped.

Li Cunxu noticed her discomfort and felt a pang of heartache.

He gently helped Qiu Ziyue up and said tenderly:

"You can't keep pushing yourself like this. Let me take you back to your tent to rest."

Qiu Ziyue did not refuse; her body was already exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Li Cunxu carefully picked her up and walked steadily toward the camp.

Qiu Ziyue leaned against him, feeling his warm embrace.

After entering the tent, Li Cunxu gently placed Qiu Ziyue on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Qiu Ziyue was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep almost the instant she touched the bed.

Looking at her calm face, Li Cunxu felt a surge of tenderness and pity.

He gently sat down on the edge of the bed and tenderly stroked her hair with his hand, his movements gentle and meticulous.

Qiu Ziyue's brows gradually relaxed, and her breathing became even and steady.

Li Cunxu leaned down, gently kissed her forehead, and whispered:

"Get some rest, I'll stay here and watch over you."

As night deepened, the candlelight inside the tent illuminated the tender scene between the two.

Li Cunxu sat to the side, his gaze never leaving Qiu Ziyue, as if he wanted to forever etch this beautiful moment in his heart.

That night, Qiu Ziyue slept soundly under Li Cunxu's watchful eye.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Cunxu hadn't slept a wink all night, silently watching over her.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tent, Qiu Ziyue slowly opened her eyes, feeling an unprecedented sense of peace and tranquility.

Qiu Ziyue got up and looked at Li Cunxu sitting at the table, one hand supporting his head as he gently dozed off.

The handsome young man who looked like he stepped out of a painting had lost the childishness and innocence of Lu Yuan Changming before, and gained more maturity, composure and coldness.

If Qi Yuxuan was an ice cube in the past, Li Cunxu is now a piece of iron.

She didn't disturb Li Cunxu; she knew he was too tired.

He carried the mission entrusted to him by his father, Li Keyong, with three arrows. He trained soldiers during the day and reviewed memorials at night.

She suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Li Cunxu in front of her.

She gently got up and touched Li Cunxu's slightly disheveled hair.

She found a cloak and gently draped it over him, watching him quietly.

She thought that if it weren't for Qi Yuxuan, she might really have chosen him.

After all, Li Cunxu was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and was also gentle and intelligent.

In modern times, both he and Qi Yuxuan would be domineering CEOs, but their styles would be different.

Just then, Li Cunxu subconsciously sensed someone watching him, and flinched, saying:

"Twilight Sparkle, you're awake."

"Yes, Changming, you're awake too."

"Hmm, you must be hungry. I'll have the servants bring you breakfast."

"No need, let's go have breakfast together."

Hearing this, Li Cunxu felt somewhat incredulous, after all, this was the first time Qiu Ziyue had spoken to her so gently.

"Okay, okay, okay, let's go together."

After washing up, the two went to the breakfast hall together for breakfast.

Qiu Ziyue is experiencing morning sickness again.

Li Cunxu then took out a clean silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth, before handing her a cup of warm water.

"Drinking some water will make you feel better."

Qiu Ziyue took the water glass, sipped it slowly, and looked at Li Cunxu gratefully.

"Thank you, Cunxu."

Li Cunxu smiled, his gaze softening:

"You don't need to thank me. You are the person I care about most."

Back at his residence, Li Cunxu was extremely excited.

He suddenly sensed that Qiu Ziyue's attitude towards him had changed.

He immediately turned around to prepare the medication to prevent miscarriage.

He consulted medical books in his study, adjusted the prescriptions according to Qiu Ziyue's symptoms, and carefully brewed a bowl of warm medicinal soup.

"Twilight Sparkle, drink this."

Li Cunxu brought the medicine to the bedside and said gently.

Qiu Ziyue sat up, took the bowl of medicine, and although the bitter smell was overwhelming, she forced herself to drink it down in one gulp.

Li Cunxu watched her quietly from the side, his eyes full of concern.

Just then, news of the princess's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the entire Prince Jin's residence.

When Madam Cao heard the news, she was very happy.

She immediately announced a reward for the entire army in celebration.

Afterwards, she personally visited Qiu Ziyue.

"Twilight Sparkle, is the baby moving?"

Madam Cao asked kindly, sitting by the bed and holding Qiu Ziyue's hand.

Qiu Ziyue blushed with embarrassment.

"Mother, Ziyue is only a little over a month pregnant. She's just experiencing some morning sickness, but it's nothing to worry about."

Madam Cao nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Cunxu:

"I didn't expect you to have a child so soon. Our Li family has an heir! That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue wanted to defend herself.

Qiu Ziyue pulled her aside and said:

"Mother, Ziyue is a lucky star; she will bring good fortune to our Li family."

Madam Cao smiled and said to Qiu Ziyue:

"Don't worry, Cunxu and I are here for you. We will take good care of you and the baby. You just need to rest and recover."

Li Cunxu stood aside, watching this scene, his heart filled with emotion.

After Madam Cao left, Li Cunxu returned to Qiu Ziyue's side, gently tidying her bedding and patting her shoulder softly.

"Get some rest, I'll stay here with you."

Qiu Ziyue said, "Cunxu, why did you lie to your mother? I'm two months pregnant, why did you lie to her that I've only been pregnant for a little over a month?"

Li Cunxu said, "I have said that I will treat the child as my own. If the mother finds out that the child is not mine, the child is very likely to... not be able to be kept. Do you understand?"

Qiu Ziyue paused for a moment, then closed her eyes to rest.

She knew that with the support of Li Cunxu and Madam Cao in this chaotic world, she and her child would be safe and sound.

As night deepened, the Prince of Jin's residence was quiet.

Under Li Cunxu's watchful eye, Qiu Ziyue gradually drifted off to sleep.

Li Cunxu quietly stayed by the bedside.

Meanwhile, in the basement of the Prince of Jin's mansion.

Two guards were busy delivering food to Qi Yuxuan, Zhao Wanqing, Leng Feng, and Qiu Langyu, chatting as they walked.

"Have you heard? The Princess Consort of Jin is pregnant!"

"A guard said excitedly, his face beaming with a smile."

"Yes, that's wonderful! Madam Cao is rewarding the troops; we're truly blessed."

Another guard chimed in, his voice full of joy.

Their conversation struck Qi Yuxuan, who was standing nearby, like a bolt of lightning.

In that instant, it was as if the whole world had stopped turning.

"What... Princess Consort of Jin is pregnant?"
