Chapter 269 Retreat
White House.
Tang Wanru sat on the bed. After Doctor Xu felt her pulse, she stood up. Shang hurried forward and asked, "Doctor Xu, how is she? Is she okay?"
"Is the child safe too?"
Doctor Xu has seen this happen many times. Seeing Shang so serious, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay. It's normal for pregnant women to have occasional abdominal pain in the late stages of pregnancy. The pain doesn't last long, and it's not serious. You can ignore it."
Tang Wanru said that there was no need to find a doctor. She had only felt pain occasionally these days and it was nothing. But this time, Shang Shi noticed it and rushed to find Doctor Xu. She silently exchanged a glance with Bai Yanli who was sitting next to her.
Shang continued to ask: "Is it related to diet?" Tang Wanru went back to the Tang Mansion yesterday, and she didn't know whether she ate the right amount. She said that she had to be careful during this period.
Hearing this, Doctor Xu smiled meaningfully and said, "It doesn't matter, but it's probably related to other reasons." He said casually, then turned and walked out the door.
others?
Shang's heart was in her throat after hearing these words. Seeing that Doctor Xu didn't say anything here, it was obvious that he was avoiding people, so she hurriedly told Tang Wanru to rest and followed him out.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Shang asked anxiously, "Doctor Xu, what is going on?"
What other reasons could there be?
Seeing her so anxious, Doctor Xu realized that he had been too mysterious just now. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam." He glanced at Tang Wanru in the door again, and then lowered his voice and said, "Madam Bai, other people's pregnancies with only one child naturally have plenty of space, but your young lady is pregnant with twins, so the space is a bit crowded. Naturally, when she moves, the mother will feel a little abdominal pain."
"twin?"
After hearing this, Shang was so shocked that she froze there.
"That's right." Doctor Xu said with a smile. As a gynecologist, he felt quite satisfied every time he conveyed such good news to others.
In fact, he had roughly figured out that Tang Wanru was pregnant with twins when he first examined her pulse at the Wu family, but he was not sure at that time. Now that the children have grown up, he confirmed it and told it.
"Is what Doctor Xu said true?" Shang's eyes widened when she reacted. Although she knew that he would never lie, she still couldn't help asking.
Doctor Xu said nothing more, but smiled and said, "Madam, twins will probably feel abdominal pain, it's no big deal, I will also come more often to check the pulse of the Second Young Madam. Madam, don't worry."
Doctor Xu turned to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned his head and looked through the window at Tang Wanru and said, "Madam, pregnancy with twins is still a bit stressful after all. I suggest that if it is not necessary, you don't need to tell the young lady the news for now. Let her stay in her relaxed state and be pregnant. It's not a bad idea to tell her when the baby is born."
After Doctor Xu finished speaking, he bowed to her and left.
Twins?
And the Shang family seemed to be still immersed in this good news.
She clenched her handkerchief and her eyes were red.

Everyone left. Only Tang Wanru and Bai Yanli were left sitting in the room. Tang Wanru had been in pain for a while, and although it didn't hurt anymore, she still felt aggrieved, so she pulled Bai Yanli's hand and acted like a spoiled child.
Bai Yanli understood her too well, and asked seriously, "Did you eat a lot of fruit when you came to the Tang Mansion yesterday?"
The doctor said I could eat normally, but he didn’t say I could eat more.
He knew her too well! She was being watched by Shang at home, so she would definitely break the rules when she arrived at the Tang Mansion.
Tang Wanru didn't expect that he could guess this, so she pulled him aside and refuted without confidence: "I didn't eat much."
He knows it!
But seeing her like this, he couldn't bear to stop talking to her. It was a rare opportunity to satisfy his desire, so a little stomachache was nothing.
If you keep holding back on what you want to eat or what you want, it can easily lead to trouble.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanli reached out his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly, "You, this won't happen again."
Last time, she took advantage of Lin's lack of reaction to grab handfuls of food, but next time she would not have that chance if her mother was watching her.
Tang Wanru nodded obediently.
Bai Yanli withdrew his thoughts of kissing her and stood up to close the window. However, before he could get up, she pulled him back to sit by the hand. Without saying anything, she came up to him and hugged his neck with both hands, buried her head in his neck and pressed her whole body against him.
Bai Yanli, who already had difficulty controlling herself with her, saw her coming so close to him. Her hot breath sprayed on his neck, making him feel hot all over. He took a deep breath, hugged her waist and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Wanru didn't say anything. Her soft lips first kissed his neck, then went along his neck to his angular jaw, and then, as if drawing a winding little snake, she kissed all the way to his lips, and then kissed his lips.
Bai Yanli: ...
If this guy was seen by her mother...
"Wait." He held her round little chin with his slender fingers. She was very angry after being interrupted and curled her lips at him fiercely.
"Window, I'll go close the window." Bai Yanli said seriously.
window?
When Tang Wanru heard this, she remembered the time when she went to Baiting Tower and was bullied by him with the window open, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
He knows to close the window now? Why didn't he do that then?
Thinking of this, she not only did not get off him, but hugged him tighter: "Don't turn it off, it's cool."
Bai Yanli: ...
Is this a cool thing?
"Just like..." Before he could finish his words, that soft and sweet little mouth came up and kissed his lips. With a light flick of her tongue, he had already thrown off his armor and was lying on the bed in her arms.
At night, there is a gentle breeze outside the window.
Tang Wanru was already asleep. Bai Yanli gently tucked the quilt in for her and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead before walking out of the room.
Zhou Zhuoqi was already waiting in the yard. Seeing him coming, Zhou Zhuoqi asked, "Seventh Brother."
He was a little late for the appointed time.
"I was delayed by something." Bai Yanli replied.
He knew that Tang Wanru was in the late stage of pregnancy and Bai Yanli was a bit busy. If the matter was not urgent, he would not meet him so late at night.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Bai Yanli asked.
"Seventh brother, Concubine Chen has fallen out of favor!" Zhou Zhuoqi said bluntly.
Bai Yanli's eyes shook slightly.
"Not only that, the emperor also allowed the prince to enter the palace this morning!" Zhou Zhuoqi paused and said, "The emperor is going to support the prince again!"
A hint of dark light flashed across Bai Yanli's pupils.
But he soon regained his composure.
It is not necessary to support it again.
But it seems obvious that they want to suppress his and Zhou Zhuoqi's power. Making Concubine Chen fall out of favor is a very obvious manifestation.
Bai Yanli knew this day would come, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. This was the specialty of Emperor Zhou, letting the various forces fight and weakening the power of both sides, so that he could reap the benefits. Previously, he wanted to suppress the crown prince, so he favored Concubine Chen. Now that Zhou Zhuoqi and his forces have clearly risen, he has used the same trick again, hoping to suppress them again through the crown prince.
In the eyes of Emperor Zhou, there is no such thing as family affection or love.
But they are just his bargaining chips.
But Emperor Zhou's move came too late.
The prince can no longer be helped up.
"Seventh brother, do we have any way to retreat?" Zhou Zhuoqi thought of avoiding the enemy's attack first. Since Emperor Zhou was determined to suppress them, they might as well retreat first and then plan for the follow-up.
But in Bai Yanli's dictionary.
There is no escape route. The cold wind blew on his cheeks, and the lanterns in the yard flickered in his eyes. He said, "We don't need an escape route."
"The one who needs to find a way out is the prince."
