Shu Heng set out on the expedition, and before leaving, Ning Xi put his hand on his stomach and said softly: "If you come back late, the child will not recognize you as a father." ”

Shu Heng's nose was a little sour, he caressed Ning Xi's belly affectionately, and then put his chin against Ning Xi's neck socket, and said slowly but firmly: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Ning Xi held back the tears in the corners of her eyes, smiled and sent Shu Heng away, after Shu Heng left, Shu's mother often came to accompany her, chatted with her about the child, and occasionally cooked some food for Ning Xi to use, and the days were not as sad as Ning Xi imagined.

It's just that Ning Xi stayed in the deep courtyard, and there was very little news that could reach her ears from Jiangbei, and occasionally Ning Miao would come over to see her, and sometimes tell her about Jiangbei, as for Li Yu, he never came back, and I heard Ning Miao say that he went directly from Jiangnan to Jiangbei.

Although the war did not reach the capital, more and more refugees poured in, and batches of materials were transported to Jiangbei, and the people in Beijing became more and more uneasy, living behind closed doors every day, and the military department was even more busy and did not dare to slack off the war in Jiangbei.

It's already winter in a flash, and there was a heavy snowfall in the capital just after winter, Ning Xi stood by the window with a belly that was more than eight months old, looking at the snowman built by the maids outside the window, and remembered Shu Heng in Jiangbei, she hadn't received Shu Heng's letter in the past few months, but there were only four words on the letter, okay, don't read it.

Every time Ning Xi saw those letters, she couldn't wait to rush to Jiangbei to bite Shu Heng hard, didn't she dare to write a few more words, did she know that she was very worried, but Ning Xi vaguely guessed in her heart that Shu Heng might have been so busy that she didn't even have time to write a few more words.

Ning Xi sighed faintly, and he didn't know how he was now, listening to Ning Miao say that the situation in Jiangbei was basically clear, and the court would not lose this battle, and I didn't know if what Ning Miao said was true, or just to comfort her. Ning Xi touched his stomach, the child was about to be born in more than a month, and he didn't know if Shu Heng could rush back.

In King Zhou's mansion, King Zhou was still discussing things with his staff in the study, when suddenly the door was kicked open, Ouyang Ling hurriedly walked in, and King Zhou's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust when he saw this, but he forced down the disgust and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Ouyang Ling chuckled: "I heard that you are going to make a move, the soldiers and horses that my father gave you have been here for so long, I see that you have been holding your troops still, and you think you really have to wait until Shu Heng returns to Beijing before you dare to make a move?" ”

Ouyang Ling's opening was sarcastic, these days she was locked up in the mansion by King Zhou and was not allowed to go out, but she was holding a lot of breath in her heart.

King Zhou narrowed his eyes, this Ouyang Ling is not only stupid, but also has a long memory, it seems that she has almost forgotten what she said last time: "This king remembers that he told you, you don't care about my affairs, otherwise this king himself is not sure what will happen to you." ”

Ouyang Ling remembered the appearance of King Zhou before, and felt a little worried, but when she turned her head and thought about it, the soldiers and horses that King Zhou was using now were secretly sent into the capital by her father, so why couldn't she take care of it, so she said boldly: "I don't care what you want to do, but you have to leave some people for me?" ”

King Zhou looked at Ouyang Ling with a piercing look in his eyes: "What are you doing with it?" ”

Ouyang Ling sneered: "I have my own usefulness, don't worry, I won't mess around before you make a move, just give me people." ”

King Zhou looked at Ouyang Ling for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

Just when everyone was focusing on the war in Jiangbei, Ning Xi heard an explosive news, King Zhou reversed! And the person who told Ning Xi the news turned out to be Ouyang Ling.

Ning Xi looked coldly at Ouyang Ling, who broke into the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion with more than 20 soldiers late at night, quietly protected his stomach, and said coldly: "What are your intentions?" ”

Ouyang Ling looked at Ning Xi, who was guarded by the guards of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion, the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and they all said that pregnant women would become ugly, it seems that it is true, look at the dark yellow skin, and her face has gained a few circles, I don't know if Shu Heng will treat her as a baby when he sees such a Ning Xi.

"What intentions, what intentions can I have? It's just that my cousin, you're pregnant, and my cousin hasn't given you a gift yet, so I'm just here to give you a gift this time. ”

Hearing this, Ning Xi couldn't help but hide her belly behind Shu Qing, her child was killed by Ouyang Ling in the previous life, and in this life, she would never repeat the mistakes of the past.

Seeing this, Shu Qing whispered in Ning Xi's ear and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Sister Erui has already gone to find the old lady, and the slaves and maids will protect you and the child in your belly even if they are desperate." ”

Ning Xi bit her lip: "Don't worry, I'm not so cowardly, I will be scared by Ouyang Ling's words, I will protect my child, and you are not allowed to die." ”

As soon as the words fell, a loud shout sounded in the courtyard: "Ouyang Ling, what are you doing?" Is it when my aunt dies? ”

Saying that, Shu Mu walked in quickly, first glanced at Ning Xi, saw that she was fine, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned her head and glared at Ouyang Ling fiercely.

The smile on Ouyang Ling's face did not diminish in the slightest, and even when she looked at the anxiety in Shu's mother's eyes and Ning Xi's cautious appearance, she still had the urge to laugh, is this the feeling of controlling the life and death of others? That's great! No wonder King Zhou couldn't wait to overthrow his father and sit in that position.

Thinking like this, Ouyang Ling walked to Shu's mother with a smile, and held Shu's mother's hand as affectionately as before, and said with a clever smile: "Auntie, don't worry, my niece is here to give a gift to my cousin-in-law, isn't this afraid that my cousin-in-law will not see me, so I broke in?" ”

Shu Mu unceremoniously pulled out her arm and looked at Ouyang Ling coldly, the kind of eye that saw through everything seemed to be able to look directly at the bottom of Ouyang Ling's heart, Ouyang Ling hadn't experienced much after all, and when she saw Shu Mu's fierce eyes, she couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing that Ouyang Ling's eyes showed timidity, Shu's mother replied coldly: "The old body has lived for so many years, but it is the first time I have seen such a gift-giving method, the side concubine is really peculiar, and the side concubine Niangniang should stop calling the old body Why aunt, the old body can't afford it, and at this point, you must have already been your true identity." ”

Hearing Shu's mother's words, Ouyang Ling's expression turned cold, it turned out that Shu's mother had already known.

"When did you find out?"

Shu's mother looked at Ouyang Ling, her eyes full of mockery: "I only found out in the last few days, I said how I raised a white-eyed wolf, it turned out that it was not my own." ”

Ning Xi pursed her lips when she heard this, she heard Shu Heng say that Shu's mother already knew Ouyang Ling's identity, why did she lie now, was it to not anger Ouyang Ling, in this case, Shu's mother was not sure to deal with Ouyang Ling, after all, those soldiers were different from the nursing homes in the house, and they had really been on the battlefield.

Ouyang Ling sneered: "Shouldn't you be glad that you raised a noble girl?" ”

When Ning Xi heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, what kind of noble girl is Ouyang Ling, just a clown jumping off the beam, everyone present thought so in their hearts, but no one clearly pointed out that it was not a wise choice to provoke Ouyang Ling now.

"I ask myself if the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion is not bad for you, if you still have a little conscience, let me go back to your Xianwang Mansion." Shu's mother said.

Hearing this, Ouyang Ling laughed wildly, and the more she laughed, the louder she became: "You treat me badly?" You guys take me no bad! How did Shu Heng treat me, and how did you, a good daughter-in-law, treat me. ”

"Shu Heng, he ignored my sincerity, trampled my affection under his feet, trampled on my love, and forced me to marry King Xian to be a child, what did I do wrong, didn't I fall in love with my cousin, but I didn't have the identity of a county lord? Your son deceived me like this, and you still said that you were not bad to me! ”

Ning Xi looked at Ouyang Ling, who was a little crazy, and she was a little scared in her heart, such a crazy Ouyang Ling, she really didn't know what Ouyang Ling would do later.

Seeing this, Shu Mu also frowned, quietly retreated behind the nursing home, and stood in front of Ning Xi to block Ning Xi.

When Ouyang Ling had laughed enough, she looked at Ning Xi, and saw that Ning Xi was being protected by everyone behind her at this time, and she was even more annoyed in her heart, and at the same time, she was even more sure that the child in Ning Xi's belly was very precious to the people of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and she couldn't wait to see Ning Xi fail to protect the fetus in her womb.

Ouyang Ling slowly raised her right hand and raised: "Do it." ”

When the soldiers heard the order, they immediately rushed in the direction of Ning Xi with their swords, and for a while, only the sword light and sword shadow and the strong smell of blood were left in the Evergreen Hall.

Ning Xi couldn't stand it a little and vomited, Shu's mother gently stroked Ning Xi's back, and Shu Qing and Tanqing protected Ning Xi and Shu's mother. (.)
