After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

In August of the following year, Shen Ning was about to give birth in Kunning Palace.

On the day of the delivery, Xie Linyuan, Ye Shi, Huo Tingchuan, and the Shen family members waited anxiously outside Kunning Palace.

Hearing Shen Ning's screams coming from inside, Xie Linyuan tried to rush in several times, but was held back by Ye Shi.

"Your Majesty, Ning'er is very lucky and will be safe."

But only Xie Linyuan knew that Shen Ning almost died in childbirth in her previous life because of giving birth to Jing'er.

"I can't wait any longer, I want to go in and see!"

As Xie Linyuan spoke, he prepared to push open the door to the bedroom, but Shen Li grabbed his arm.

"Your Majesty, women are not allowed to enter during childbirth."

Xie Linyuan's voice tightened: "I'm truly worried!"

"Although the poison Shen Rou gave A Ning has been cleared, it still has some effect on her body."

Shen Li comforted her, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Haven't the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital already treated her?"

Don't worry.

Xie Linyuan didn't say much, but stared intently at the door of Kunning Palace, his heart clenching with anxiety.

For a woman, childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell.

Until the clear cry of a child came from inside the bedchamber.

Xie Linyuan felt a tremor run through his body, finding it hard to believe.

"Jing'er..."

He pushed open the bedroom door and saw Shen Ning lying weakly on the bed, with a thin layer of sweat on her temples and her face as pale as paper.

The midwife brought the baby over and showed it to Xie Linyuan: "Your Majesty, it's a boy."

Xie Linyuan glanced at the child only once before instructing the nanny to take the child away.

He walked to Shen Ning's bedside and saw that Shen Ning was so weak that his heart felt like it was being torn apart.

"A-Ning..."

Shen Ning opened her eyes and looked at him: "Xie Linyuan, I think I'm going to die."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Linyuan sat down beside her bed and reached out to wipe the sweat from her temples.

Shen Ning lay on the couch, very weak, panting heavily, her face pale and bluish.

She weakly reached out and tightly gripped Xie Linyuan's robe, saying feebly:

"I'm so tired, so tired..."

"I feel... I'm going to die."

"Xie Linyuan... I don't want to die."

After the girl finished speaking, the hand that was gripping the man's robe instantly loosened.

"A-Ning..."

Xie Linyuan grasped her hand and saw her slumped on the couch, lifeless.

"Ah Ning... Ah Ning!"

His pupils suddenly contracted, and he gripped her tightly, trembling.

"Ah Ning, Ah Ning, don't scare me!"

"Imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician immediately!"

Xie Linyuan looked at the girl on the bed, whose face was deathly pale, and trembled as he held her in his arms, his whole body shaking violently.

"I was wrong, I was wrong."

"I should have kept the child."

"Shen Ning, please don't die, I beg you!"

"Shen Ning, Shen Ning!"

Those outside who heard the noise began to stir.

Shen Ning, nestled in Xie Linyuan's arms, seemed to sense the man's body trembling uncontrollably, his voice trembling with sobs.

She slowly opened her eyes and met the man's red-rimmed eyes.

Then he chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, how can you be so easily fooled?"

Xie Linyuan was taken aback, and when he looked down, he met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

"you……"

Shen Ning smiled and said, "I was just kidding, I'm fine."

"Shen Ning!" Xie Linyuan was both angry and furious, and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"Do you know how worried I was about you!"

He leaned down and whispered in her ear:

"I'm so scared that you'll be like you were in my past life."

Shen Ning coughed lightly: "I've been taking care of my health for years, and it's long since healed."

Xie Linyuan held the person tightly in his arms, feeling a mix of bittersweet emotions—anger, relief, and joy.

When the imperial physician entered, he saw Shen Ning safely in Xie Linyuan's arms.

He went over and took Shen Ning's pulse.

"Your Majesty has only lost some blood; everything else is normal. She will recover after a period of rest."

Xie Linyuan nodded: "Mm."

Those outside the hall were relieved to hear this.

Shen Li said, "This child dares to deceive His Majesty like this. We almost fell for it too."

Ye walked to his side and comforted him, "General, thankfully, mother and child are safe."

After Shen Ning gave birth, Xie Linyuan named the child Xie Rongjing, exactly the same as the child's name in his previous life.

However, the little guy looks just like Jing'er from her previous life.

Xie Linyuan then granted another general amnesty, celebrating with all the officials.

Inside Kunning Palace, Xie Linyuan looked at Jing'er in the cradle and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his little cheek.

Jing'er was extremely cute, with a chubby face, big ears, and a pair of round eyes that blinked at him.

Xie Linyuan felt his heart melt.

He and Jing'er share a father-son relationship spanning two lifetimes.

In his previous life, he raised Jing'er until she was almost a year old.

He taught me how to roll over and how to crawl, step by step.

Now, when Xie Linyuan sees Jing'er again, he can't describe the feeling in his heart.

The first thing he did every day after court was to hold Jing'er and watch her grow up day by day.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Jing'er is now a year and a half old. Xie Linyuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally be put at ease.

In the depths of winter, a heavy snow fell on Yanjing City, covering the entire city.

Inside Kunning Palace, Shen Ning was warming herself by the fire with Jing'er when Bai Zhi walked in.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing."

"This year's snowfall is heavier than in previous years; the area outside Kunning Palace is completely covered in snow."

Shen Ning quickly stood up and looked at the little guy sitting opposite her, smiling at her.

She quickly picked him up and walked out of the bedroom.

"With such heavy snow, shall we go build a snowman?"

It was the first time Jing'er had ever seen snow. When she saw it, she couldn't help but squat down and start trying to grab it with her little hands.

Shen Ning ignored him, walked to the deepest part of the snow, and reached out to pinch a small snowball.

She turned her head and looked at the little guy dressed in black.

Then, he threw the snowball in his hand at them.

Jing'er staggered from the impact, lay on the snow, and burst into tears with a sob.

"Mother... Mother..."

When Xie Linyuan finished his court session and rushed over, he saw the meatball lying in the snow, refusing to get up.

He was about to walk over when Shen Ning suddenly made another snowball and threw it at Jing'er.

"Jing'er." Xie Linyuan ran over, brushed the snow off him, and picked him up.

He then turned to Shen Ning and said, "Ning, Jing'er is still young. It would be troublesome if she caught a cold."

As Xie Linyuan spoke, he quickly picked up Jing'er and carried her into the bedroom.

A charcoal fire was lit in the bedroom. He dried Jing'er's little hands and then held them in his own hands to warm them.

He looked down at him and asked softly, "Tell Daddy, are you cold?"

Jing'er shook her head, reached out and threw herself into his arms, then mumbled "Daddy."

Xie Linyuan held Jing'er in his arms, took off his outer robe, changed him into a clean set of clothes, and then held him in his arms.

When Shen Ning came in, she saw this scene between the father and son, and smiled:

"Jing'er is clinging to her father now and doesn't want her mother anymore. I'll remember you."
