If she hadn’t known that the current unification of the Taixuan Demon Realm was Si Mo’s painstaking effort, would she have bothered with this chaotic melee of demons? Let them fight as they wish; it doesn’t concern her!
Agreeing to Gu Ya and Gu Ye’s requests was solely because she didn’t want Si Mo’s hard work to be ruined, and because she wanted to come here to find Si Mo’s whereabouts.
The words of Mu Qingge caused the Four Great Vassals to show shock in their eyes.
"His Majesty actually told you his true name and allows you to call him that?" Ji Fu’s eyes narrowed slightly; even though his voice couldn’t reveal any waves, it couldn’t hide his astonishment.
Mu Qingge lifted an eyebrow, her demeanor indifferent.
She noticed that after she mentioned Si Mo’s name, the attitudes of these four, and even the eight hundred Demon Guards who had been silent, changed somewhat towards her.
This change... contained a hint of respect.
Yet, she clearly felt that this respect did not come from her but because of Si Mo.
Because she is the woman personally chosen by Si Mo!
The Zichen Palace fell silent for a while.
Ji Fu stepped forward and looked at Mu Qingge, performing a gesture of respect and hierarchy, "Ji Fu welcomes the Princess."
He acknowledged Mu Qingge’s status, at least for now.
Once he spoke, the remaining three no longer hesitated.
The three spoke in unison—
"Ling Jiu welcomes the Princess!"
"Qing Yan welcomes the Princess!"
"Qing Ze welcomes the Princess!"
The eight hundred Demon Guards also knelt uniformly and said in chorus, "Subordinates welcome the Princess!"
In the Zichen Palace, a group knelt before Mu Qingge. Her clear gaze lightly skimmed over them, finally landing on Gu Ya, "When shall we meet the others?"
"Princess, we still need the palace Imperial Physician to examine you," Gu Ya softly reminded.
His soft voice wasn’t too subtle either. As soon as his words were uttered, hundreds of eyes stared directly at her flat abdomen.
Even Mu Qingge, thick-skinned as she was, felt somewhat embarrassed under such scrutiny. She quietly withdrew a hand and placed it in front to block her abdomen.
Afterwards, she spoke calmly to Gu Ya, "Mm, you make the arrangements then."
Gu Ye promptly said, "Princess, let me first lead you to the rear hall to await the Imperial Physician."
Mu Qingge nodded and then looked at the kneeling crowd, saying to them, "All of you may rise." Having said that, she followed Gu Ye away.
Gu Ya quickly went to find the Imperial Physician, leaving the eight hundred Demon Guards and Four Great Vassals in the Zichen Palace.
Having met their mistress, the eight hundred Demon Guards dispersed each to their duties, guarding the interior and exterior of the Zichen Palace. The Four Great Vassals, however, did not leave; they remained in the Zichen Palace waiting.
Waiting for what?
Naturally waiting for the Imperial Physician’s examination results.
The four stood in the hall, exchanging glances.
Qing Ze said, "This Princess seems to be more formidable than we imagined."
Qing Yan nodded, "At present, she shows some presence against us, but we’ll see if she can maintain it when facing those tigers, leopards, and wolves later. If she ends up crying out of fear, that would be problematic."
"His Majesty’s personal affections, we have no right to interfere. If she truly is His Majesty’s woman, carrying His Majesty’s heir, whether or not she is a competent Princess, we must fully protect her," Ji Fu slowly said.
Ling Jiu sneered, "If she isn’t His Majesty’s woman, once His Majesty returns, I’ll definitely plead for permission to properly discipline her!"
Ji Fu glanced at him without speaking.
Soon, Gu Ya led a few Imperial Physicians from the Taixuan Ancient Palace inside; these Imperial Physicians were all highly qualified and just-minded individuals.
As soon as the Imperial Physicians entered, they bowed to the Four Great Vassals.
Then, the group proceeded grandly to the rear hall to prepare for Mu Qingge’s examination.
Upon entering the rear hall, Mu Qingge was casually flipping through books laid on the table. Although she couldn’t read the text, she could understand the illustrations on them.
They were diagrams of marching and formation, with hasty scribbles that looked like they were casually sketched by Si Mo when simulating strategies.
Gu Ye quietly attended to her side.
The arrival of the group naturally disrupted the tranquility in the rear hall.
The Four Great Vassals saw the booklet in Mu Qingge’s hand, their eyes gleamed with curiosity. In their knowledge, ordinary women wouldn’t be interested in such military strategy content.
They expected to find her curiously scrutinizing the hall’s decorations in an extravagant manner upon entering.
"Ministers, pay respects to the Princess."
The old Imperial Physicians bowed in unison.
Mu Qingge placed the booklet down and said to them, "Imperial Physicians, no need for formalities." Her demeanor was natural, without a trace of apprehension or panic at arriving in the Taixuan Ancient Palace.
Her composed stance made the old Imperial Physicians dare not underestimate her.
The old Imperial Physicians stood in place, waiting for her instructions.
Mu Qingge glanced at them and placed her wrist on the table, "Go ahead."
The old Imperial Physicians approached one after another to examine her pulse.
Once they had finished, they stepped back and conversed for a while before collectively addressing Mu Qingge, "Congratulations, Princess; the little prince in your womb is perfectly healthy."
