Chapter 685: Death Tribulation
Countless thrills, and now, months later, are just an understatement in a few words.
"He was injured on my behalf, and I was supposed to be the one who was injured that night. β
Zhou Yubai smiled bitterly.
The guards around him were almost dead and wounded, and even Shan Yun and Guo Xun were injured to varying degrees, if it weren't for Qi Zhaoruo's timely rescue, he would probably run into Xiao Rin and his men, and the chances of winning would be slim.
The relationship between Xiao Rin and Zhou Yubai can also be regarded as a personal vendetta, not to mention that Liu Pu and Chen Lingzhi intended to weaken Xiao Rin's military power before, Xiao Rin listened to Fu Nianjun's words earlier and bowed to the Liao court, although he was courteous in the short term, but in other words, the military power of the entire southern courtyard was slowly infiltrated by the forces from the imperial court, coupled with Chen Lingzhi's troubles, Xiao Rin now has a sense of weakness in Youzhou.
The grudge between Xiao Rin and Zhou Yubai, Fu Nianjun understands that it is partly because of himself.
Since he made such a covenant with Zhou Shaoyong, this result will inevitably be achieved. β
Zhou Yubai seemed to see what Fu Nianjun was thinking, and whispered to her.
Fu Nianjun nodded, "How is Qi Zhaoruo?"
Zhou Yubai was silent for a while, and this silence made Fu Nianjun feel a solemn atmosphere.
Looking at Zhou Yubai's face again, Fu Nianjun knew that he was not the slightest bit happy about winning Zhou Shaoyong.
Her heart trembled suddenly, grabbed his arm, and said, "Shichiro, tell me honestly, did you think that you could, could have an accident, my hunch was not wrong, did you, what do you know?"
Zhou Yubai stabilized Fu Nianjun's shoulders and persuaded her slowly: "Nianjun, don't worry, I will tell you slowly if you want to know anything......"
Fu Nianjun knew that he had worked all the way, so he must have rushed back to see him as quickly as possible, she asked Zhou Yubai to rest, but he refused.
He still has to go back to the outside of the city, and take Qi Zhaoruo into the city again tomorrow, his injuries have been delayed along the road for too long.
The couple were talking, and before they knew it, it was almost dawn, Zhou Yubai touched Fu Nianjun's hair, and got up after repeated delays:
"I'll be back soon, don't be afraid. β
Fu Nianjun nodded, and finally could only watch him push the door and go out.
It's really just like a dream.
Lying back on the bed, Fu Nianjun finally felt that his heart was complete, as long as he returned safely, nothing mattered.
β¦β¦
When the news of Zhou Yubai's return to Beijing reached the Huai Wang's Mansion, almost everyone almost cried with joy, in comparison, only Fu Nianjun was still the most normal one.
She had actually cried enough last night.
Lady Yun came back with Cheng'er in her arms, and she was also happy for Fu Nianjun: "The princess is finally here, and our little emperor and grandson, what a lucky star!"
Fu Nianjun hugged Cheng'er, rubbed his head, and told him: "Daddy is finally back, does Cheng'er miss Daddy?" Of course Cheng'er didn't understand, and she didn't know why everyone was so happy, she just waved her little hands and followed Silly Le, revealing her bare and pink gums.
Zhou Yubai entered the palace directly, Fu Nianjun because he had not yet completely confined, so he naturally had no chance to enter the palace to "reunite with the whole family", but the joy of the emperor and Empress Shu had also been transmitted to the Huaiwang Mansion at the same time.
But in this group of joy, there is still something unsatisfactory, that is, Qi Zhaoruo's injury is much heavier than Fu Nianjun imagined.
He hadn't been awake for half a month.
Even Zhou Shaoyong, the prince of Su Wang, who had been on the run for a long time, did not get as much attention as him, Qi Zhaoruo was immediately sent to the palace, and all the imperial doctors were waiting by his side.
How to explain to the eldest princess of the country, the emperor began to have a headache again.
When Zhou Yubai returned to Huaiwang's Mansion, his face was already tired, as if he hadn't slept for a few days and nights, and he didn't go anywhere else, but after a little washing, he fell asleep next to his wife.
Cheng'er was jubilant for a day, but before his father returned home, he fell asleep, only showing a stubborn back of his head to his father, Fu Nianjun thought it was funny, so he asked him to lie next to Zhou Yubai, waiting for the father and son to wake up and feed together.
When Zhou Yubai woke up again, it was already the third watch, he didn't eat much for lunch, and he didn't eat dinner, and he was hungry in his stomach, but fortunately, Fu Nianjun had already asked someone to prepare light fine noodles for him to eat.
Zhou Yubai just looked at his son beside him in a daze, this kid has strong hands and feet, and he is not honest when he sleeps, he was slapped by him in his sleep just now.
There was tenderness between his eyebrows and eyes, and he said to Fu Nianjun: "It's a naughty one." β
Fu Nianjun's face was a little red, what was Zhou Yubai like when she was a child, she had heard Queen Shu say that Cheng'er's naughty appearance actually followed her.
After eating the fine noodles, Fu Nianjun asked the nurse to take Cheng'er to the side room, and the husband and wife were finally able to snuggle together and say what was not finished last night.
Now, Zhou Yubai doesn't have to hide it from Fu Nianjun, and she also told Fu Nianjun everything Zhang Tianshi said to him before.
Fu Nianjun's current feelings are a little unspeakable, no matter how many "past lives" she has, in fact, now she feels that it is like a scene, the person in the play is playing her, but it is not her, hazy, she no longer cares as much as before.
Perhaps, it's because she's seen it open.
Cherish the people in front of her, she now, as long as Zhou Yubai and Cheng'er are well, she doesn't want to bother to pursue too much.
In what Zhou Yubai said, the only thing she paid attention to was that Zhang Tianshi said that Zhou Yubai in the second life promised to pay a great price in exchange for their continued frontier in this life, so this also means that Zhou Yubai may face an unsolvable death.
Her heart tightened, "Shichiro, youβwhat did you think at the time? Do you really think you're going to ......?"
The word death, she never said.
Zhou Yubai smiled: "I will never die willingly, it is too early to say that I accept my fate." β
Fu Nianjun stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers, leaned on his shoulder, and said slowly:
"Shichiro, I know what it's like to die, that feeling, it's really uncomfortable, I know I'm selfish, but I really don't care about the past life, and I don't care about this life, I just want to be able to grow old with you in peace. β
Her eyes were slightly red, "But actually, it's also very difficult." β
Zhou Yu's diphtheria choked slightly, and he was not sure if Qi Zhaoruo had blocked this death calamity for him, but there was only one thing he could be sure of:
"Nianjun, there is no moment when I don't want to live, even if this trip is risky, but I never planned to fight with Zhou Shaoyong for my life, he is not worth it. You and Cheng'er are everything to me. β
