84. Graceful delivery of the passing year
Wanwan had been a little lethargic lately, so when she woke up, he was gone.
The covers on the south kang were cleaned up, leaving no trace of his overnight stay. She sat blankly on the bed, her heart empty. Brass Ring came in to serve her to wash, and she was a little distraught.
"When did he leave?"
Tonghuan said: "I have been walking for nearly an hour, and it was still dark at that time, probably afraid of arguing with you, so I didn't tell you." The slave saw him standing in front of your bed for a long time through the Linghua Gate, thinking that he was reluctant to let you ...... In fact, the prince really feels sorry for you, but he has a heavy burden on his shoulders and has to bear you. ”
She listened silently and did not speak for a long time. got out of bed and walked to the kang, reached out to touch the cushion of the Fushou pattern, and said gloomily: "I have to bear me...... If we were not separated by our families and countries, we would be more fulfilled than many couples......"
Anyway, you don't have to face it, and you can relieve her siege. He probably knew that he was going to attack her mother's house, and it was inevitable that they would be embarrassed to say goodbye to each other, so it was better not to say goodbye than to be silent.
Since the general trend could not be reversed, she was more concerned about Jinshi's situation, "Do you say that Qianhu can reach the capital smoothly?" There won't be any ambush on the road, right? ”
Tonghuan said no, "Yu Chengfeng watched him go away, as long as no one around the mansion noticed, he would be able to leave the Jinling realm safely." There was an interval of three hours between his departure and the prince's departure, and if anything happened to him, someone would have reported to the prince a long time ago. She let out a long sigh, "I really didn't expect that Lord Jin is such an iron-clad man." How painful it is to cut meat with a knife! When you enter the capital, you will spread the meat and take out the things...... There are a few people in the world who can endure it. ”
Wanwan didn't know why, and asked her what she had done, how she hurt Jin Shi and what words she left behind, and explained to her: "The most test of a person at the critical juncture is whether it is a white-faced traitor or a red-faced Guan Gong, try a quasi-child." In the past, I didn't look like a good person, but I didn't expect them to have such loyal and courageous knights. All of them left in our house are good, with them guarding you, don't be afraid of anything. ”
She knew the meaning of the copper ring, and when she left, there was no one who really sheltered her from the wind and rain. The princess who is in danger of the country, if she keeps it, maybe she will drag him back, if there is someone who can make up her mind now to stand up and order her to be dealt with, then her life will not be saved. So she has to rely on the rest of these people, they rely on their righteousness to support the entire Eldest Princess's Mansion, even if she encounters danger, she has a chance to live. The building is about to fall, and the husband and wife still take care of each other, these people who hold meager money will not give up, and they really respond to that sentence.
She sat in the circle chair, her body was soft and crooked, and said with a little luck: "Fortunately, the soldier map has been sent out, and there is only so much I can do for Daye." If the sky does not die, I am Daye, may the emperor work hard to create a prosperous world, so as to live up to my hard work today. ”
But if Nanyuan is defeated, the good time will not be there, who will accompany her to sing the wind and the moon, and enjoy the lotus and play the flute? So her life is destined to be lonely, the closest people leave one by one, leaving her alone to live, and in the end it is boring. Thinking like this, I became a little disgusted with the world.
Tonghuan naturally relieved her: "Your Highness has done your best, no matter what the result is, you are worthy of your ancestors and the people of Li." If Daye can last forever, your exploits will go down in history and will be remembered for eternity. ”
She smiled and shook her head, "I don't care about those false names, no matter how good they are, I'm just a hard-working woman." Throughout the ages, no family in the world can last forever, I just think that Daye can still be saved. The second brother has a very smart brain, as long as he uses it in the right place, he is no worse than the good time. ”
In any case, the map of the soldiers sent out gave her great comfort, and she believed that the emperor should be able to resolve this crisis if he controlled it properly. But for the Yuwen family, she is really not a good daughter-in-law, if she knows what she has done, she doesn't know how to hate her in the end.
A cry of knowing came faintly, at first it was a gossamer-like line, and gradually expanded into a piece, and before you knew it, midsummer had come.
Wanwan moved to the octagonal pavilion in the east to enjoy the coolness, that place is the highest place in the mansion, and the eight sides are equipped with carved doors that integrate the upper and lower ones, which can be flexibly rotated with the wind. She took the east fence and pressed a large bamboo couch against the wall. Dongli has already learned to climb, and the place is wide, so it is convenient for him to climb and roll as he likes.
It's just that somehow, Dong Li has been a little listless for the past two days. Later, I started to have diarrhea, which lasted for several days, and there was no intention of stopping. invited the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat, and prescribed a prescription to eat the treasure ingot, which was useless. Wanwan was anxious and asked what to do, but Li Ma'er on the second door said: "Don't you collide, right?" The goblers are all vegetable leaves, and there is a person in our hometown who says that the pregnant person holds the child, and the child will have a stomach upset. Go back and cut some clothes and make diapers for him, and the next day will be fine. ”
Everyone looked at each other, pregnant? Who?
Who else can there be, either an unmarried girl or an elderly grandmother. The nurse entered the house and cut off contact with the family, let alone get pregnant. It seemed that there was only Wanwan, and everyone stopped their eyes on her, and her face turned white, "How can there be such a thing!" ”
Passed on the imperial doctor's pulse, and the result was really there, she sat on the couch, not knowing whether to be happy or worried. This child came at such an inopportune time, could God not see that she had suffered enough sins, and that she would continue to make things worse? When she was married, it had reached the point where water and fire were incompatible, who was this child trying to keep? Because of the previous things, I am afraid that the old ones will never be able to be rebuilt. A vase is broken, it is broken, even if it is curled, the patches are dense and so eye-catching, is it still good?
She said, "Stay quiet, and we'll see." ”
After calculating the time, it should have just been three months. She is the kind of flat body, even if she is pregnant, she is not conspicuous for less than five months. She had to think about what the next road was going to take.
Xiao You said: "We just lied before, but I didn't expect it to happen, which is also a coincidence." ”
Wanwan shook her head, "Why is this time!" ”
The copper ring was encouraged: "This is your blessing, give you a child, cheer you up, there is still a long way to go." ”
She stared blankly at the clump of flowers at the top of the tree, and her heart jumped in her cavity, causing a wave of blood to rush in her ears. Weakness in the hands and feet, this symptom has been going on for a long time, and I don't know if it's because of pregnancy. She lay down, closed her eyes, remembered the battle ahead, and could not sleep well, and the child would probably be difficult to raise.
It's been about twenty days since the good time left, and the guards outside the mansion are a little more relaxed than before. Yu Qiwei thought of a way to buy off the porter who came in every day to deliver food, and asked him to help find out the current situation outside. The porter was quite dutiful, and he sent some news in. But because he was born in a peasant family, he couldn't distinguish between priorities and priorities, so Yu Qiyao taught him to go to a teahouse and a bird market. It is a place where all kinds of current affairs gather, and when there are more idlers, there will be more gossip, and you can find out some valuable news.
Wanwan looked forward to hearing the news of the victory of the Ye army, even if it was one, it would boost morale. But Yu Qiyao came in and shook his head dejectedly, "Defeat, the first battle of Shucheng was lost." ”
After two days, he came in again and hesitated: "Strange...... The line from Pingshu to Wen'an was unguarded, and it was taken lightly by the Qi people. Now that the army is encamped in Waqiao, the next step should be to return to righteousness. ”
Wanwan has been a scholar since she was a child, and she has the ability to never forget what she has seen, and she can basically copy a copy of the map she has drawn down by hand. Hearing Yu Qiyao say this, he hurriedly looked through it, and his fingers slid down the red arrow, and found that Ping Shu and Wen An were not within the scope of the attack, and he was a little stunned for a while.
The bad premonition was coiling, Yu Qiwei was afraid that she would panic, and reassured: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the general will temporarily adjust the route." This is just the beginning, Your Highness should be calm and look at the future. ”
She nodded fixedly, "Yes, wait a minute, maybe it's because the Nanyuan army saw that there were defenses elsewhere, so they changed this line." You keep an eye on it, if there is any new development, come in and come back to me immediately. ”
While caring about the situation, we must not forget to warm up our bodies. After all, the child is innocent, and no matter what he does Amado, it is also his own flesh and blood. The previous child unfortunately died, and this child must be born well, and the child is shallow, so why not.
Waiting for the messenger from outside to come in, I was very nervous during this period, and I couldn't stand the slightest wind and grass. Tonghuan persuaded her, "I think you should stop asking, now that you are a double body, can you worry about it?" Take good care of my brother, I will talk to Yu Chengfeng and ask him not to report to you again. What if you just know the winner or loser? The whip is out of reach, and I can't feel comfortable with myself. ”
That being said, how could she not care. She thought she was noisy, and told her to leave it alone, and sat at her desk with a sweet bowl in her hand, eating while studying the map of the soldiers.
Since it is located in Waqiao, which is the closest to Guiyi, it is natural to attack there next. However, the truth is always depressing, Yu Qiyao has a war report, and the Nanyuan army did not go to righteousness, and directly attacked Ba County. The soldiers defending the city were defenseless, and they were beaten to abandon the city and flee, and Baxian County is now all in the hands of the Southern Army.
Wanwan was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and the scarlet front on her fingertips burned as if it were about to burn her flesh and skin. is obviously drawing Guiyi, how could he turn a big corner and go to Ba County? Could it be that they are stationed at Waqiao to make a noise? In this way, if the route of the march was changed at a good time, there was a problem with the deployment plan that day......
She was drenched in cold sweat on her back, her heart was hot and cold, and she couldn't hold it anymore. Could it be fake? Intentionally let her go, in order to disturb the sight of the imperial court? She only felt a mouthful of blood in her throat, which made her face change, and it took a long time before she laughed miserably: "The devil is one foot high, the road is one foot high, where am I his opponent!" ”
It's not that she is pessimistic, the next few battles are as she expected, it is time to take Xincheng and take Xuanxian, and it is time to attack Laishui and Xuanzhou. By the end of the day, she was so desperate that she couldn't get up from her bed. Tonghuan scolded Yu Qiyao, "Do you want to be angry with His Highness?" ”
It's really going to be angry, she was fooled so thoroughly, this is the person next to the pillow, who said that she would love her husband for the rest of her life! If you want to complain, how can you complain? Originally, they had their own ghosts, and they could only blame themselves for their inferior skills.
She lay on her back to the sky, her tears dried up, and she couldn't cry anymore. The embroidery on the top of the tent turned into a sky full of stars, and her eyesight became worse and worse, sometimes she couldn't see clearly, black and blurry, sometimes mixed with mottled white, and her head became more and more dizzy.
Yu Qiyao no longer informed her of the results of the battle, and presumably the news was not much better. She lost the desire/desire to ask, and at this time she subconsciously began to escape, afraid of hearing the movement outside. I wish I would lie down like this, lie down until I die, and never ask about the world again.
Her eye disease was also reported to the imperial doctor, and the result of the break was nothing more than qi in the chest and excessive injuries. Mingmu took several doses of medicine, and even the pillow was filled with dried chrysanthemums and buckwheat husks, except that there was still a turbulent sea in his sleep, and there was no other effect.
Her heart had sunk into the earth, and she was so sad that nothing mattered. "I seem to be getting old," she said...... Come and see, do I have gray hair? ”
Copper Ring watched her wither, helpless. People have been through so much, where is it okay. The general of the king of Nanyuan gave her the most fatal blow, and she misled the emperor by her rubbing, but I am afraid that now the court is scolding, and her evaluation may not be much better than the scolding of the people outside the courtyard wall.
She didn't dare to say that, just let her look at the child in her belly. She smiled, "Our mothers are the same, and our lives are too thin." ”
She said very frustrating words, and Tonghuan and Xiaoyou were terrified.
"It's a shame to go on like this." Xiao You wiped his tears, "Think about it, save our master." ”
Tonghuan looked at her miserably, "What do you think?" The bell must be tied to the bell, can you tell the king of Nanyuan to stop the army? Can you restore peace to this mountain and river? The knives are all on his neck, and if he doesn't go forward, he can only die, he doesn't care about himself, and he still cares about the life and death of His Highness? ”
If there is really no husband and wife in front of the hegemony, if you calculate me, I will definitely calculate you by higher means. The prince was deeply hidden, and he didn't show any horse's feet until he left. Thanks to the eldest princess, she thought she had succeeded, and she was so tormented by Jin Shi that it turned out to be someone's pastime. The proud princess has not been so fooled, she can't get back her lost face, the society that is bent on preserving her is withering at an accelerated pace, she is in pain, she has plunged into a dead end and can't get out, what other way can she continue her life?
The copper ring looked out through the wall, "I only pointed to the gold and stone, and he said that he would lead people out of the encirclement and save us from the ......"
But Jin Shi came back and couldn't bring back the brocade guard. He knelt down in front of Wanwan, hanging his head, and had no face to see her.
Wanwan stood up and asked him, "Have you seen the emperor?" ”
Not only did he see it, but he was almost arrested and imprisoned. The map of the soldiers he swore to deliver was fake, and he knew that it was impossible for the eldest princess to be in cahoots with the king of Nanyuan, she must have fallen in love with the king of Nanyuan. But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not see it this way, from the emperor to the hundred officials, all of them pointed out that the eldest princess had no way to betray her kindness and steal the country. In such a situation, it is absolutely impossible to summon people to rescue him, but fortunately he has to report to his brother secretly, otherwise he should have been detained by this time.
How do you talk to the eldest princess? Her voice was weak, and her voice trembled, so he could only grit his teeth and bow upwards: "The people who can be used by the imperial court have rushed to the barracks, and there is really no manpower...... Your Highness, don't worry, as long as the ministers are still alive, they will definitely take Your Highness out of here. ”
She fell back on the pillow and couldn't leave, but she didn't really care. The only thing she tasted from his words was the court's abandonment of her. I didn't expect that after all my efforts, it ended up like this. She is not a person inside and out now, who to talk to about her grievances and resentment?
She waved her hand, her posture was still elegant, "It's been the road of thousands of households, and the injuries are all healed?" Go back and rest. ”
Jin Shi hesitated, saw the copper ring give him a look, got up and retreated.
"So far, we have to fight hard." Yu Qiyao sent him out, stood at the bottom of the stairs and said, "Please Lord Jin gather all the people who can be used, I used to hide gunpowder, and when necessary, I will fight to ......break the net."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiao You shouting, and the two of them were shocked and hurriedly rushed into the room to check. The figure on the bed was as faint as a wisp of smoke, but the strong blood snaked out from the corners of his mouth, gradually dyeing the white collar and the plain veil on the pillow.
