Xiao Yin stood motionless at the door of the side room, his expression so somber.

When Nangong Zhao caught up and saw this scene, he couldn't help but try to persuade Xiao Yin.

"You and she were never meant to be together years ago. Why bother clinging to each other now?" Nangong Zhao said bluntly.

These words made Xiao Yin even quieter.

Because it cannot be refuted.

"It's been like this ever since she married Pei Shou'an. You knew it in your heart, and you should have let it go long ago, right?"

"Now that the Great Zhou has offered you this opportunity, are you going to let personal feelings interfere with your life? The Emperor may be able to sideline you now, but he will soon take your life."

Nangong Zhao became increasingly serious as he spoke.

"Xiao Yin, even if you want to find Shen Yingshuang, you should wait until the situation stabilizes. That way, it will be perfectly reasonable for you to seek her out. Otherwise, you won't be able to get past the Zhou Dynasty, let alone the Prince of Pingyuan, will you?"

After a long while, as Nangong Zhao finished speaking, Xiao Yin turned and left.

Nangong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xiao Yin had come to his senses.

At least I didn't act impulsively at this time.

Soon, Nangong Zhao caught up with Xiao Yin's pace.

Kaiyuan Temple fell completely silent.

At that time—

Wen Xianli left with Shen Yinshuang.

Shen Yinshuang was still weak and leaned against the carriage, motionless.

Although she was awake, she showed no intention of speaking, and her eyes appeared exceptionally calm.

Under these circumstances, Wen Xianli looked down.

"Eat something, or you won't be able to hold on. Judging from the journey, it will take at least another month," Wen Xianli coaxed softly.

Shen Yinshuang shook her head; she truly had no appetite at all.

Wen Xianlina and Shen Yinshuang had no way to deal with it.

It took a combination of coaxing and cajoling to get her to eat a little.

Seeing that Shen Yinshuang had eaten, Wen Xianli did not force her to continue.

Wen Xianli probably knew what Shen Yinshuang was worried about.

He glanced in the direction of the palace and began to explain to Shen Yinshuang in a low voice.

"This was originally a conspiracy. The Zhou Dynasty emperor wanted to eliminate these stubborn forces, and you were just implicated in it."

"And Xiao Yin's identity is not as simple as you think. You don't need to worry about Xiao Yin; just be careful for yourself."

"Have you forgotten what the doctor said? Even if you really care about Xiao Yin, you still need to take care of yourself."

……

Wen Xianli spoke directly, his gaze growing increasingly calm.

As she spoke, Shen Yinshuang looked at Wen Xianli.

"You want to ask about Xiao Yin? Xiao Yin's identity is much more complicated than you think. If I remember correctly, he was the crown prince of the previous dynasty. You probably already understand the grudges here." Wen Xianli did not hide anything.

Then, Shen Yinshuang's expression changed, showing some surprise.

But on the surface, Shen Yinshuang remained calm.

In the end, she remained silent.

The carriage continued to move forward smoothly.

But the carriage wasn't going to the border region.

Instead, they went to Jiangnan.

Conditions beyond the Great Wall are harsh; Shen Yinshuang will not find rest there, but will only get worse.

Therefore, Wen Xianli weighed the pros and cons before sending Shen Yinshuang to Jiangnan.

Along the way, Wen Xianli probably talked to Shen Yinshuang a lot about Xiao Yin.

These were all things Shen Yinshuang hadn't expected.

"Staying in Jiangnan is not a long-term solution. If he raises an army, Jiangnan will also be affected. The Zhou emperor will not let you off so easily, so once you are stable, we still need to leave Jiangnan," Wen Xianli said succinctly.

Jiangnan was still within the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, so Wen Xianli could not possibly control everything.

But if they went back, the people of Zhou Dynasty would not dare to touch Shen Yinshuang again.

Shen Yinshuang gave a faint "hmm".

She seemed to have become quieter.

The carriage arrived in Jiangnan a month later.

Shen Yinshuang was pale after the bumpy ride.

Upon arriving at the courtyard in Jiangnan, Wen Xianli immediately sought out a doctor.

When the doctor took Shen Yinshuang's pulse, his expression changed.

"What happened?" Wen Xianli asked the doctor, frowning.

"This young lady is pregnant," the doctor said succinctly.

The two had already gone outside.

Shen Yinshuang didn't hear what they were talking about.

It grew increasingly quiet.

"But this young woman's physical condition is not suitable for pregnancy; it would be fatal. However, we can't induce labor now either, as that would also result in death," the doctor said passively.

It seems they are caught in a dilemma.

No matter what I do, it doesn't work.

Under such circumstances, Wen Xianli never expected it.

However, Wen Xianli ultimately did not hide the fact that Shen Yinshuang was pregnant from her.

They'll find out sooner or later anyway.

When Shen Yinshuang heard this, she remained silent.

It was much quieter than Wen Xianli had imagined.

"Let nature take its course; you can't force things, can you?" Shen Yinshuang lowered her eyes.

But her hand was on her lower abdomen.

Anyone with eyes can see how much Shen Yinshuang cares about this child.

In the end, Wen Xianli did not respond.

Shen Yinshuang's pregnancy this time is like a gamble.

Originally, Wen Xianli planned to return to the border region after Shen Yinshuang stabilized, but now he has unexpectedly stayed in Jiangnan.

Shen Yinshuang's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

The physical discomfort also increased.

It seemed as if they were being pressed down and couldn't breathe properly.

Later, they learned that Shen Yinshuang was carrying twins, which made her pregnancy much more difficult than that of a typical pregnant woman.

Given Shen Yinshuang's physical condition, one can imagine the situation.

Wen Xianli carefully watched over Shen Yinshuang every day.

The mothers and grandmothers around were also serving him.

Stay close.

Until the day the Zhou Dynasty fell into turmoil.

Shen Yinshuang is more than seven months pregnant.

News has come from the capital that Xiao Yin has raised an army in rebellion.

They attacked all the way to the imperial palace.

Naturally, every town was affected.

Wen Xianli was on high alert the whole time, fearing that something might go wrong.

Under these circumstances, Shen Yinshuang subconsciously wanted to know the news from the capital.

After a while, and with the long distance involved, it became a real hassle.

Various rumors are circulating wildly.

When it came to Shen Yinshuang, it became that Xiao Yin failed and was thrown into the Heavenly Prison.

The moment Shen Yinshuang realized it, her stomach tightened.

The already unstable fetus resulted in premature birth.

Wen Xianli knew as soon as he saw the large amount of blood gushing out that Shen Yinshuang was agitated by the current rumors.

He didn't say anything, but immediately called for a midwife.

Shen Yinshuang's delivery went relatively smoothly, and she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

The fetus was too small and was carefully cared for by the wet nurse.

Shen Yinshuang fell into a coma after giving birth.

Wen Xianli stayed by his side every step of the way.

Even the doctor didn't know when Shen Yinshuang would wake up.

And the capital city.

Xiao Yin regained control and sat on the throne.

He quelled all the internal strife.

Xiao Yin quickly left the imperial palace, and no one knew where he went.

He was even accompanied only by He Jiu.

Only Nangong Zhao knew that Xiao Yin had gone to Jiangnan to find Shen Yinshuang.

Because Xiao Yin knew about Shen Yinshuang from beginning to end.

When Xiao Yin rode his horse at full speed and arrived in Jiangnan, he learned that Shen Yinshuang was in a coma.

He saw the two children that Shen Yinshuang had given birth to for him.

This time, Wen Xianli surprisingly didn't stop him.

He knew even better that only Song Jian, who was beside Xiao Yin, could save Shen Yinshuang.

Therefore, this news was conveyed to Xiao Yin by Wen Xianli.

Xiao Yin brought the person back to the capital.

Song Jian entered the palace immediately to check on Shen Yinshuang's condition.

After six months of treatment, Shen Yinshuang gradually woke up from her coma.

Both children are growing up healthy.

She saw a familiar yet unfamiliar environment around her.

Shen Yinshuang paused for a moment, then saw Xiao Yin appear before her in a dragon robe.

Shen Yinshuang then realized that she had returned to the capital.

Suddenly facing Xiao Yin, Shen Yinshuang seemed to have lost her initial impulsiveness and enthusiasm.

How can there be true feelings on the throne of an emperor?

She looked at Xiao Yin quietly, and then slowly said, "This humble woman begs Your Majesty to release me from the palace."

Xiao Yin stopped in his tracks.

"As for His Majesty's two children, I know I cannot take them with me, and I will not force them. It is probably better for them to stay with His Majesty than with me. If His Majesty is willing to let me take them, I will be eternally grateful," Shen Yingshuang finished speaking.

Xiao Yin looked at Shen Yinshuang quietly.

After a long silence, he asked in a low voice, "If I let you go, won't you regret it?"

No regrets.

"I will remarry, and you won't mind?"

"I don't care."

"If these two children go with you, they will have nothing."

"Yes."

In the end, the two remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Yin compromised.

He roughly knew that Shen Yinshuang had been pushed to her limit, and if he forced her to stay, she would ultimately suffer a crushing defeat.

He ordered someone to escort Shen Yinshuang out of the palace.

Wen Xianli was waiting outside the palace.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Yin remained silent, growing increasingly quiet.

Later, a new embroiderer emerged in Jiangnan, becoming unparalleled in the world.

The emperor in the imperial palace, however, never established an empress and lived out his life alone.
