Even though Qu Tan'er kept finding reasons to comfort herself, she didn't want to think about it.
Yet it would still occasionally pop into her mind...

"Hmm."
"We need to be together every day, is that okay?"
"Okay."
"Wherever you go, you have to take me with you, is that okay?"
"Okay. But we'll have to wait until the child is born."
"..." Hurry up and be born, child.
Time passed slowly.
Mo Liancheng had forbidden outsiders from entering Snow Courtyard, saying he wanted the Princess Consort to rest and protect the fetus.
The events occurring in the palace were yet unknown to Chinu Yama and others, but word had it that several doctors were called to Snow Courtyard, which surely meant something had happened to Qu Tan'er.
As a result, Chinu Yama tried to visit Snow Courtyard several times, only to be stopped by Yu Hao, or Shi Xue, who said the Prince had not permitted it.
Zhao Qingyun was similarly left to face a closed door.
At dusk.
