It's just that it's still too far from the end of winter, and the coldest number nine cold days have not yet arrived. If it continues to develop as it is now, I am afraid that he will not survive this winter. It's better to take advantage of the current recovery, when Zhou Sinian's body is also improving, go all the way to the south slowly, anyway, if you take a step south, the situation will be one step better.

Because Zhou Sinian really needed to recuperate this time, Li Chaozong saw it with his own eyes, and he was also very worried about the development of Zhou Sinian's illness. There was no forced stay, and half a year's vacation was granted, and it was also from that time that our life developed the habit of migrating from the north to the south for half a year.

Entering the palace to say goodbye to the emperor and Zhou Jieyu, we only brought Zhou Nan and Qiu Zege and his wife, Hui'er and Zhen'er, the two big girls, Ruyi and Xue'er's nurse, Ruyun and Luzhu, two female guards, the two of them lived with the nurse and the child, and were responsible for the safety of the two children. There are also two guards, Zhou Yang and Zhou Tong, these two guards are not inferior to Zhou Nan in martial arts and thoughtfulness, and they are the best masters in the Zhou Mansion.

The boat was a Sun City's own boat, unflagged, plain in appearance, and identical to any of the big boats on the canal. Only the inner room is covered with fur to keep the floor and the surroundings warm, there is no extra equipment, simple and comfortable. Boatmen, cooks, handymen, etc., are all carefully selected domestic slaves with martial arts.

Whenever there is an interrogation on the road, the road pass is a special pass issued by Ouchi, this special pass does not indicate the identity, and everyone, including the highest local governor, does not need to ask when they see it.

The boat has a deep draft, and if it weren't for the river view flashing outside the window, it would be like sitting on flat ground.

Since Zhou Sinian left the capital, he has been frowning, and the samurai on board will closely monitor any ship that tries to get close. "Brother Nian, why are you so nervous?" When I saw Ruyun and Luzhu walking inseparatingly from Ruyi and Xue'er, as if danger would happen anytime and anywhere, my nervous voice trembled a little. Zhou Sinian said: "I have offended the rest of the Zhu family, they are everywhere, we are either children, or pregnant women and sick husbands, be cautious, there is nothing wrong with it." Then he smiled: "I am greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

I rubbed his head and comforted him, saying, "Ignore her, I know you're not, you just don't want the people of Li to fall into turmoil again." He smiled and said, "Where am I so good, if I were someone else, I might be tempted, and I can't betray him to the Holy One today." He laughed to himself: "Besides, even if I want to betray him, I am not his opponent." This time, they all said that I betrayed the jade mystery, in fact, the emperor already knew his identity, and he didn't say it, he was waiting for me and my loyalty. ”

I shuddered and said, "Did the Dragon Guards also hear the flaws in my confession?" Zhou Sinian said: "Who knows? The emperor was by my side that day, and I could hear it, and he should be able to do it too. He smiled bitterly, "I am raised by the emperor, I think he knows everything clearly, but I can never guess him." ”

At night, the surrounding area was quiet, and the samurai were hidden in shifts on various dark posts, and the sound of oars outside could be faintly heard across the water. At this time, there was a child's cry outside, going around and around, "Cher! I was shocked and sat up at once. Zhou Sinian held me down: "It's not Xue'er, it's an adult who learns." ”

Seeing that he was so sure, I hesitated to lie down again. The crying faded away, but it became more and more poignant. There is a momentum that will never be seen again. My heart was about to break, but Zhou Sinian held me down, just wouldn't let me get up to look at it. The crying faded away, and finally it was no longer heard. "Are you sure it's not Cher?" My voice trembled, "I want to go see it." "It's really not, my daughter cries to me every day, can I hear it wrong?" Zhou Sinian said dissatisfied.

When the day finally dawned, I rushed into the children's room for the first time, and saw Ruyi and Xue'er grabbing toys, their legs were weak, and they fell to the ground. Fortunately, the ground was covered with thick fur, so it was not broken. Ruyun came over to help me up and said, "I also heard the cry last night, no matter what tricks the thieves play, Luzhu and I will definitely protect the son and the young lady, please take care of the city lord and lady." I nodded gratefully.

Over there, Zhou Sinian got dressed and walked over, and I asked him, "Why do they want to learn from Xue'er to cry?" Is there any purpose? "I'm scared of you." Zhou Sinian said slowly, "Listen to me, don't be so nervous, the one in the belly is also a child." As he spoke, he helped me and walked slowly back to his room, saying as he went, "Why aren't you nervous about this in your belly at all, there are so many people guarding, they don't dare to get on the boat at all, and they will be found if they get on the boat." ”

I lay in bed for a while before my heart beat calmed down. asked: "Xue'er has never left the palace except for a trip to the palace during the full moon, who can learn her voice so similarly?" Zhou Sinian sighed and smiled bitterly: "Wronged." "What?" I asked, puzzled. "Didn't you just go out of the house?"

I know who he was talking about: "Mu Yanfei? "In addition to singing, Mu Yanfei can also do ventriloquism." Zhou Sinian said, "She's scaring you, you have to be careful, follow me from now on, she's retaliating." Don't say that she can't hurt Ruyi and Xue'er, even if she is injured, you can't help. "I," I cried, "I didn't hurt her, why would she hurt me and the child." ”

Zhou Sinian sighed, "It's not you, it's me, have you forgotten about the cold medicine?" I was speechless for a while, and after a while, I said, "She drank the medicine herself, and no one poured it on her, right?" It was she who desperately wanted to enter the mansion, and later, she also wanted to leave, she entered the Zhou family with ill intentions, but she hated me here. ”

After a while, I felt in my heart that what I said was wrong: "Mu Yanfei is also quite pitiful, blame me, if only I didn't mention such harsh conditions, I didn't expect her to be involuntarily." I whispered, "I'm avoiding her." "But she can't harm my child, and the child doesn't harm her." I cried. I was so sad that I subconsciously hugged my belly, as if I could protect the child in this way.

Zhou Sinian patted me on the back: "Don't cry, the child is in your belly, you are good, she can be good." "After two days of crossing the Northland, I will be much better, and now my body is not so painful, and I alone will be enough to protect the family, not to mention that there are so many good hands." Zhou Sinian said, "You take good care of yourself, just don't break yourself down." ”

"Brother Nian, are you better?" When I heard what he said, I was relieved. "Much better." He laughed, "I thought I wouldn't be able to survive this winter." ”
