On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, there was a hazy drizzle in the air, and the thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River were like a painting of ink and smoke, indifferent and ethereal, quiet and far-reaching. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chu Xiuze originally didn't plan to let Su Wanqing go to the Yangtze River alone to worship, but now that it was an eventful season, how many pairs of eyes in the Xia Dynasty were staring at Nan Chu's every move, maybe there would be danger lurking beside her. Second, she is pregnant, so she swaggers out like this, I am afraid that she will fall into the hands of others.

But after thinking about it, if she was not allowed to sacrifice, she would lose the link of telling the gods and ancestors, and marry him directly, which seemed a bit unjustifiable. After weighing it, he decided to send her to the riverside, although the man he was marrying could not be present, he would send more secret guards to protect her.

"Princess, be careful." Tuqin carefully helped her out of the carriage.

In order to facilitate walking, Su Wanqing deliberately did not wear a floor-length robe anymore, and changed into a looser but not dragging skirt, and her skin became more and more moisturized due to the color of garnet red, changing the roughness and dullness of her first pregnancy.

She let out a soft "um", looked at the Qintian Supervisor Yin Guan who was standing by the river, walked towards her, leaned over and saluted, "Weichen see the imperial concubine Niangniang." ”

Su Wanqing felt bitter in his heart, "I haven't done the canonization ceremony yet, so the adults should call me princess." ”

That Yin Guan knew that the person escorting her was the Ouchi secret guard, and a flattering smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Where is this?" After today's sacrificial ceremony, I told the ancestors of heaven and earth, you are the imperial concubine of Southern Chu, how can it be convenient to call the old name again? ”

Su Wanqing couldn't twist him, and walked indifferently in the direction of the altar. For these, she is too lazy to care about it, and now the only thing she is looking forward to is that Yu Wenche can appear on the Yangtze River today.

After a few days of training, she knew very well about the rituals of the sacrifice, and without the guidance of the Qin Heavenly Supervisor Yin Guan, she began one procedure after another. However, her eyes were always fixed on the river bank behind the fog in the distance, but unfortunately, no boat sailed out.

Since he arrived in Yangzhou and heard about the custom of sacrificing by the Nanchu River, why didn't he come?

Seeing that the ceremony was about to be completed, both the Qin Heavenly Supervisor Yin Guan and the secret guards guarding her were relieved in their hearts, but Su Wanqing's heart was pounding. During the last prayer, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the corner of the wooden boat.

"Princess—" Tuqin whispered, making her truly aware that he was coming.

Su Wanqing gradually raised his head and looked at Jiang Xin in the distance. He was dressed in a navy blue brocade robe, with a jade crown on his head, and a sword held in one hand behind his waist. The breeze on the river blew his hair scattered behind his shoulders messily, but it did not affect his upright posture. His expression was indifferent and dark, and his god-like face seemed a little tired.

"What people!"

The secret guard guarding behind Su Wanqing obviously also saw the wooden boat coming from across the river, raised his voice and shouted, and pulled out the saber at his waist.

Su Wanqing didn't know how much effort it took to barely keep himself from crying. Time flies, it's been eight months, and she hasn't nestled in his arms for eight months, but she still clearly remembers the clarity of Jia Nanxiang on him.

"Child, I will hand it over to you, and after a month, you will pick it up." Su Wanqing folded his hands on his bulging abdomen and slowly moved his mouth, trying not to make a sound so that he could see every mouth shape clearly. Seeing the flash of surprise in his eyes, she could finally leave with peace of mind.

Yu Wenche naturally understood her mouth shape, but before he could react, he saw her turn around and leave. In fact, there are not many soldiers guarding her today, and when he saw her just now, he even had the idea of forcibly taking her away. However, after saying that, she resolutely turned away, after all, he was too self-inflicted.

Yu Wenche returned to the Yangzhou camp as if he was rejected from the door. When the local governor and marshal saw the emperor return safely, the big stones in their hearts fell to the ground. However, they soon noticed that this man's face was not very good, and it was gloomy as if a heavy rain was coming, which made people feel cold.

The emperor frowned and pondered the meaning of what Su Wanqing said, she said that she would hand over the child to herself, so why did she run away with the child in the first place? And let him pick it up in a month...

Just as he was thinking about this in a daze, there was a sudden rumor outside, and a black-clothed masked woman was holding a jade pendant and begging to see him.

The emperor took the jade pendant, and was stunned in place, this is his favorite jade pendant, a few months ago, Su Wanqing went out of the palace to Suxi Courtyard to recuperate, and the dead skin took it away. Now, it's been handed over to him again...

"Let the woman in. They all stepped back. ”

The governors and commanders exchanged glances with each other, and the emperor didn't sound like he was in a very good mood, and they didn't dare to lie here and make trouble for themselves. And looking at the emperor's expression, he should have met an old man...

Yu Wenche watched the woman in black slowly walk into the tent, knelt down on one knee and said, "Meet the Great Xia Emperor." ”

Yu Wenche stared at her and said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

The woman in black ripped off the black cloth covering her face, but there was no doubt that it was Chu Qing, but Yu Wenche couldn't help but be a little annoyed the moment she saw her, "You still dare to appear in front of me!" ”

Chu Qing kowtowed and said, "The emperor forgives my father, and the people's daughter is grateful to Dade." The emperor should know that there has always been a relationship between the daughter and the princess, and today it is really entrusted by the princess, and there is something important to explain to the emperor. ”

Yuwen Che rubbed the Hetian jade pendant in his hand and said with an inquiring look, "She abandoned my kindness first, and I have no friendship with her for a long time." She is confident that she will do everything possible to use me again! ”

"If it was an ordinary thing, the princess would definitely not trouble Emperor Xia anymore. But the emperor has forgotten that the princess still has your blood in her belly, and in terms of reason, your prince is in danger, so you can't ignore it! Chu Qing couldn't hear him belittle Su Wanqing like that, so he replied forcefully.

"What if I don't admit the child in her womb?"

Chu Qing raised his head and sneered, and deliberately sighed, "The day before yesterday in the tea shop, His Majesty Emperor Xia looked like he was going to eat people, which is very different from now!" ”

Yu Wenche felt that he had been touched a taboo, and only then did he react, from the time he left Yanjing to Yangzhou, and then to meet on the river today, I am afraid that it was all the handiwork of that woman.

Chu Qing knew that he was annoyed at the moment, and quickly explained, "It's really helpless for the princess to make such a request to Emperor Xia. She was pregnant for ten months, how could she not want to keep the child by her side to grow up, but Chu Xiuze couldn't tolerate that child no matter what, and he made black hands one after another. Princess... Princess, it's not easy! ”

Although Yu Wenche was shocked when he heard this, he still tried his best to control his emotions, but a layer of haze was cast in his eyes, "Chu Xiuze made a black hand to their mother and son? ”
