Chapter 577 - Good From Now On
Bai Yaling came to the lake where she almost lost her life. She looked at her reflection in the water and recalled the words of the Empress.
She moved her right leg back and forth. Tears formed in her eyes.
"What is Princess Bai doing here?" Wang Hao suddenly came from the backside and asked her. "Is she again thinking of jumping in the lake? If it is so, I will not save her this time," Wang Hao affirmed and looked into her eyes. She quickly lowered them and took a step away from him.
Wang Hao found it strange but did not pay much heed to this.
"I will not do that ever again, General Wang," Bai Yaling replied. "It is strange to see General Wang near this lake again. He usually stays in the barracks, so why here?" She asked out of curiosity.
"I was passing through this way and saw Princess Bai near this lake. So, I came to her to converse with her for some time," Wang Hao replied. "So, why did you come to this lake region again?" He asked.
"I was contemplating," Bai Yaling replied. "Since I have turned a widow, I am not allowed to go to some specific places in the Palace. This place soothes me a little," She asserted. Wang Hao found that the Palace had started to impose restrictions on her.
"Why does Princess Bai not learn something?" Wang Hao asked her.
"What can I probably learn? There is nothing that I am capable of learning," Bai Yaling concluded and sighed. "I have learned needlework and other important things which a woman should know. I think I will weave clothes for the upcoming child of the Crown Princess," Bai Yaling told Wang Hao, who was unaware of the news of Ying Lili's pregnancy.
"Is the Crown Princess pregnant?" Wang Hao asked. His lips moved up into a smile when he heard a yes from Bai Yaling.
"This is such great news. I will congratulate them later," Wang Hao stated while smiling.
"Did Princess Bai congratulate them?" Wang Hao asked her.
"Yes, General Wang. But I think I should not have gone near the Crown Princess," she affirmed and regretted her decision of going near the Crown Princess.
Wang Hao instinctively peered at her. "Why?" He wanted to know the reason.
"Because I have lost my husband," Bai Yaling answered.
"So?" Wang Hao arched up against his brow.
"My negative energy can affect the Royal Child," Bai Yaling stated.
Wang Hao chuckled. "Who told this to Princess Bai? She should not believe in such things," he advised her when he realized the reason for her coming near the lake.
"Is this the reason that Princess Bai Yaling came here?" He questioned her. Bai Yaling did not answer him and took her to leave. She turned her left and took a step forward when Wang Hao stopped her.
"Do not think over it. Your presence will not do anything to the Royal Child," Wang Hao told her. Bai Yaling looked into his eyes and nodded her head. She walked away without saying anything.
Wang Hao looked at her back. "Who could have said such a thing to her? It can affect her mental health," Wang Hao muttered. He thought of going to meet the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to give them wishes for this.
He turned to go when he saw the tassel on the ground. Picking it up, he murmured, "I will give it later to Princess Bai." He put it inside the sash and went towards the Eastern Palace.

Lei Wanxi pushed the sweet inside Zhu Lin's mouth, who was shocked.
"Zhu Lin, did you get the good news?" He asked delightedly and brought a sweet near his mouth.
She refused and started to eat the sweet.
"I am going to be Sixth Royal Uncle, soon. Sister Lili is pregnant," Lei Wanxi said and started to laugh. "I cannot believe that my Brother Sheng will become a father soon. My heart is racing because of this," Lei Wanxi said and ate the sweet in this hand.
"Now, the Crown Princess needs to be careful for nine months. The Crown Prince will not let even move the Crown Princess from the bed," Zhu Lin affirmed and smiled.
"Yes. Zhu Lin, we will entertain the Crown Princess. We need to keep Sister Lili happy all the time," Lei Wanxi suggested to her. Zhu Lin agreed with him.
"Prince Wanxi, during this period, some might try to harm the Royal child too. We need to look into that too. The Crown Prince already has so many responsibilities, so we need to keep a check on all that too," Zhu Lin told Lei Wanxi.
"Hmm. We will take care of that too. I will use my brilliant brain to find out about such schemings," Lei Wanxi proclaimed.

Wang Hao asked Xing-Fu if he could inform Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.
"Yes, General Wang." He went in and informed the Crown Prince about the same. Sheng Li allowed him, who came out and informed Wang Hao about it.
Wang Hao walked in and greeted them. He congratulated them when Sheng Li told her to take a seat. He sat on the chaise.
"Now, such a big responsibility has come to the Crown Prince. He needs to take good care of the Crown Princess. I will look into the affairs of the military in this period," General Wang pronounced.
Sheng Li acknowledged that. "I will keep my focus on my Lili and my child. Wang Hao, I would like you to raise the security for the Crown Princess," he stated.
"Do not worry, Crown Prince. I will keep a close check on all this," Wang Hao assured him. He then gazed at the Crown Princess.
"Crown Princess, keep yourself healthy this time. I am happy for you two. Your family has completed fully," Wang Hao asserted. Ying Lili agreed with the words of Wang Hao.
"Yes, General Wang.. I just wish everything goes good from now on," Ying Lili stated and then peered at Sheng Li.
