I became the Prime Minister's Adored Wife after Transmigrating

As Emperor Jingyuan’s condition worsened, the situation in the imperial court became more and more complicated.

Many people suspected that the incident with Noble Consort Sun was a trap set by the Empress. Some people wanted to find out the truth, but they were implicated.

His Majesty was seriously ill, and according to the rules, the Crown Prince should supervise the country and govern. However, Elder Sun had nurtured many proud disciples over the years, so the forces of the Crown Prince and Noble Consort Sun were still in a deadlock.

Now, they only lacked a straw that could crush the Sun family.

After understanding the situation in the capital, Shen Yao felt that he should be the straw.

On New Year’s Eve, Shen Yao brought Ji Zhao back to Shanghe Village.

Zhao Lanhua was overjoyed and happily welcomed the couple into the house. “All Tao, it’s good that you’re back. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Come and help Mother taste this sweet and sour fish.”

“Alright, Mother!” Ji Zhao replied with a smile. She quickly walked into the kitchen and took the pair of chopsticks from Zhao Lanhua’s hand. She fiddled with a piece of sweet and sour fish and brought it to her lips.

“The fish is fresh and tender. The sweet and sour taste is also moderate. The taste is very… ugh…”

Before he could say “good”, Ji Zhao couldn’t help but retch twice…

Zhao Lanhua asked worriedly, “Ah Tao, are… are you alright? Don’t scare me. If this sweet and sour fish isn’t delicious, just tell me!”

“Mother, this fish is really delicious. I… Blargh…”

Ji Zhao really couldn’t hold it in anymore. She turned around and rushed out of the kitchen. She hugged the old locust tree in the courtyard and kept retching.

Shen Yao, who was talking to Shen Dashan, looked at her back and rushed forward.

“Zhaozhao? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Ugh…”

An hour later.

Ji Zhao looked nervously at the silent Immortal Crane. Although she already had some guesses in her heart, she had not studied medicine for long after all, so she did not dare to make wild guesses.

“You stupid disciple, you’re not obedient at all!” After Immortal Crane took her pulse, he was angry and full of heartache.

He had clearly reminded her repeatedly not to get pregnant so early.

However, this girl was stupid!

Now, she was actually pregnant at such a young age. It was really worrying.

However, the culprit behind all of this was Shen Yao!

Immortal Crane glared at the worried Shen Yao and sneered.

“Senior, how is Zhaozhao?” Shen Yao asked anxiously.

“It’s nothing serious. She’s just pregnant,” Immortal Crane said slowly.

Shen Yao was stunned when he heard this news.

Zhaozhao was pregnant?

They have a child of their own?

“However, Ah Tao’s body is weak. If you want to protect this child, she has to stay in bed for the first three months to recuperate.” Immortal Crane reminded in a low voice, “If you want the mother and child to be safe, you have to take good care of them.”

“Master?” Ji Zhao, who was originally immersed in surprise, subconsciously looked up to ask Immortal Crane for help. She anxiously said, “Master, please help me?”

As long as her master was willing to help, she would definitely be able to protect this child.

She could definitely do it!

“Every ten days, I’ll take your pulse. In the next three months, you have to take pregnancy stabilizing medicine regularly. You have to be careful with your diet,” Immortal Crane instructed solemnly.

Ji Zhao nodded obediently.

Ever since Ji Zhao got pregnant, she had been lying obediently in the house, recuperating and stabilizing the baby.

“Shen Yao, do you think I’ve gained weight again?” Ji Zhao looked at the man who walked in beside him and frowned aggrievedly. “I’ve been lying at home for half a month. I’m really bored. Isn’t today the Lantern Festival? Can you take me out for a walk?”

“It’s good to be fat.” Shen Yao smiled and pinched her face. “It feels better and better.”

Ji Zhao glared at him shyly.

“I’m leaving for the capital in a few days.” Shen Yao hugged her shoulders and his tone became serious. “Zhaozhao, stay at home and wait for me, okay?”

“I want to go with you.” Ji Zhao looked into his eyes and said firmly, “Can you take me with you?”

“Zhaozhao, the trip to the capital is extremely dangerous. Now that you’re pregnant, I can’t bring you along to take the risk.” Shen Yao looked at her, his usually cold eyes actually tainted with traces of pleading. “Listen to me?”

Ji Zhao lowered her eyes and pursed her lips as she said, “If you go alone, I’ll be on tenterhooks even if I stay at home. Master said that the pregnancy in my stomach is unstable to begin with. 1 know your worries, but why don’t you think about it the other way around? What will happen if I don’t get news related to you in time?”

“Shen Yao.” Ji Zhao suddenly raised her eyes to look at him. Her gaze was firm andheright. “Husband and wife are of the same mind. Moreover, you know my personality. I won’t do anything to make you worry.”

She had opened her Heavenly Eye by chance, which meant that the heavens had already arranged everything.

Therefore, Ji Zhao felt that no matter what, she had to be with Shen Yao.

No matter how difficult the road ahead was, no matter how many storms and setbacks they would encounter, as long as they were husband and wife, they would definitely be able to overcome all difficulties!

“Zhaozhao.” Seeing her determined expression, Shen Yao could not help but laugh.

His Zhaozhao was really cute!

In February, Hongxing Restaurant.

Second Manager You handed the account book to Ji Zhao and said with a smile, “All Tao, congratulations!”

“Thank you, Second Brother You.” Ji Zhao smiled slightly. After she finished reading the account book, she was a little puzzled. “Second Brother You, is there a mistake with the dividends from the oil extraction workshop? The dividends given to me are 500 taels more?”

“This is a token of appreciation from the boss and me.” Second Manager You smiled happily. “Besides, aren’t you and your husband going to the capital? The capital is a place where every inch of land is worth money. You’re pregnant too. You have to rent a small courtyard to stay in temporarily, right?”

“In short, you’re not allowed to refuse. If you dare to refuse, you’ll lose me as a friend!” Second Manager You deliberately said with a straight face.

“Second Brother You, you…” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll reluctantly accept it. Second Brother You, thank you!”

“By the way, I made some snacks at home a few days ago.” Ji Zhao immediately gave Shen Yao a look.

Second Manager You looked at the snacks in front of him and his appetite was whetted. “Is this the sushi you were talking about?”

“Yes.” Ji Zhao immediately nodded. “In addition to sushi, there are also some jerky and sausages I made. The jerky can be eaten directly, and the sausages need to be steamed.” “Alright!” Second Brother You nodded happily and beamed with joy.

After bidding farewell to his family, Shen Yao brought Ji Zhao and rushed towards the capital.

Before he left Dingyuan County, Ji Ting’an had given him two letters.

One was a recommendation letter. With Ji Ting’an’s recommendation letter, Shen Yao could enter the capital unimpeded.

The other letter was related to Ji Zhao’s background.

“Aren’t you going to open it and take a look?” In the carriage, Shen Yao asked softly when he saw Ji Zhao staring at the letter in a daze..
