The secret guards were agile and moved across the glacier, quickly catching some fish.
Qiu Kui and Dong Qing took the fish and began to process it. They skillfully cut open the fish's belly, took out the internal organs, and cleaned it.
Shangguan Ziling took out the pot and seasoning from the space and gave them to Qiu Kui and Dong Qing.
Okra and Holly were busy on the side, starting to make fish soup.
Add firewood to the pot from time to time to keep the fire burning. Soon, the aroma of the delicious fish soup will spread.
Shangguan Ziling caught some rabbits from the space and gave them to the secret guards to roast.
Although the secret guards followed the princess to protect her, and although they were curious when the princess took out something from time to time, they never asked too many questions.
Qiu Kui came over with two bowls of milky white fish soup and said, "Madam, Master, the weather is cold. Have a bowl of fish soup to warm yourself up."
Shangguan Ziling took the fish soup and just after taking a sip, her stomach felt nauseous and she started vomiting.
Beichen Xue was startled, "Zi Ling?"
Shangguan Ziling waved her hands and said, "Mom, it's okay."
Qiu Kui took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Shangguan Ziling's mouth.
Beichen Xue looked at Shangguan Ziling in confusion and asked, "Ziling, have you had your period this month?"
Shangguan Ziling was shocked when she heard this, and after taking her own pulse, she was stunned.
Beichen Xue looked at Shangguan Ziling's dazed look and almost guessed what she had heard, but she couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"
Shangguan Ziling looked at Beichen Xue blankly and murmured, "Mom, I, I'm pregnant."
Beichen Xue was delighted and said with a smile: "Silly child, you can also practice medicine! No wonder you have been acting abnormally and sleepy recently. How long has it been like this?"
Shangguan Ziling said blankly: "It's been more than a month."
Hearing this news, Beichen Xue's heart was filled with joy.
Beichen Xue held Shangguan Ziling's hand and said, "This is a good thing. You should take good care of your baby and stop traveling so hard. But your grandfather..."
Shangguan Ziling held Beichen Xue's hand with a firm look in her eyes, and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will be careful. I will prepare some medicine later, which will not affect our journey."
After hearing her words, Beichen Xue frowned, her heart still full of worry.
"You've only been pregnant for more than a month. Will it really not affect our journey if we rush like this?" Beichen Xue asked, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Shangguan Ziling shook her head gently and said with a smile, "Mom, trust my daughter's medical skills. I will take good care of myself."
Beichen Xue looked at her determined eyes, and her worries were slightly relieved, but she still couldn't completely let go.
"Okay then, let's get to the next town as soon as possible and buy a carriage. Riding in a carriage is better than riding a horse." Beichen Xue said, with a hint of concern and tenderness in her voice.
Shangguan Ziling nodded in agreement. She knew that Beichen Xue was thinking about her and the baby that was about to be born.
After eating, they warmed up a little and the snow was lighter, so they got on their horses again and continued on their journey.
Shangguan Ziling rode on the horse, feeling the rhythm of the horse's gallop, her heart filled with anticipation and joy.
She had been planning to have a child in two years, but it happened unexpectedly. She didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she felt extremely happy and excited that she was about to welcome a new life.
Shangguan Ziling thought of Mo Shaoxie and wondered if the man would be as happy and excited as she was when he found out she was pregnant.
When Shangguan Ziling thought of this, she suddenly wanted to write a letter to Mo Shaoxie to tell him the news. They were on their way now, so why not wait until they reached the town and write to Mo Shaoxie while they had a rest!
When the secret guards, Qiu Kui and Dong Qing learned the news, they all expressed their blessings.
They slowed down along the way. The snow covered the ground so deeply that every step was like struggling in a quagmire, making it difficult to move forward.
Moreover, Shangguan Ziling was pregnant, and they were even more worried that her body would not be able to withstand such bumps.
Beichen Xue was riding on the horse, keeping an eye on Shangguan Ziling's situation. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but she never complained. Beichen Xue saw it all and felt distressed in her heart.
They crossed the vast snowfields, climbed over steep mountains, and finally arrived at a city on the border of Dongyue - Mobei City after seven days.
Mobei City is located in a valley. The city walls are tall and solid, the streets in the city are wide and clean, and the houses are scattered around.
Although it was winter, the atmosphere in the city was unusually lively, with people coming and going in an endless stream.
After Shangguan Ziling and Beichen Xue entered the city, they found an inn to stay in. The owner of the inn received them warmly and arranged the best room for them.
The room is decorated warmly and elegantly, and the bed is soft and comfortable, making people feel relaxed and happy at first sight.
Shangguan Ziling lay on the bed, relaxing her tired body.
Beichen Xue sat beside her bed, held her hand gently, and said softly: "Zi Ling, let's rest here for a few days before leaving."
Shangguan Ziling heard what he said and frowned, "Mom, one day of rest is enough. We still have to hurry up and get on with our journey."
Beichen Xue looked at her and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
Beichen Xue looked at Shangguan Ziling, feeling very distressed and hesitant to speak.
Shangguan Ziling leaned on Beichen Xue's arms and said coquettishly: "Mom, don't worry about me." Shangguan Ziling stroked her belly and said: "The baby is also very strong. He knows that we are in a hurry to save his great-grandfather. He is very well-behaved in the belly."
Beichen Xue scratched Shangguan Ziling's nose, looked at Shangguan Ziling's still flat belly, and said with a smile: "How old is he, what does he know?"
Shangguan Ziling said: "Mom, the baby is very well behaved. Let's rest here for one night and set off at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon. My daughter knows medical skills and can guarantee that she will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Beichen Xue nodded and said, "Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, tell me and we will stop traveling immediately."
Although she was worried about her father, she was also worried about her daughter's health.
Shangguan Ziling said: "Okay, mother, I know."
Beichen Xue said: "Then you should rest for a while, and mother will call you for dinner."
Shangguan Ziling stood up and walked to the table, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write.
Beichen Xue walked over and asked with a smile, "Are you writing a letter to the Regent?"
Shangguan Ziling immediately covered her mouth with both hands, "Mother~"
Beichen Xue laughed and said, "Oh! Can't you let mother see it?"
Shangguan Ziling said: "Mom, do you want to write a letter to Dad and the others as well? We have been on the road for more than a month. Please let them know that we are safe."
Beichen Xue heard this and said, "Okay, I wonder how Youyou is doing now? Your brother said that he would bring Youyou to the North Country once Youyou recovers! However, it is so snowing heavily that it is so difficult for us to travel, and Youyou is injured, so we'd better ask them not to come."
