Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Snub of the Siguan River (1)
On the day of the New Year's Day, Gu Mingxuan went to the barracks to celebrate with the soldiers, and did not return until late at night when the snow was thick. The wide open-top carriage www.biquge.info the Pavilion stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and a woman's warm eyebrows were reflected in the dim light.
The man bowed down and got out of the car, but saw a woman standing in front of the door, wrapped in a pure white coat, standing quietly, and I don't know how long I had been standing.
He hurried to her side and said worriedly, "Have you been waiting for me?" It's so cold, if it's frozen, what is good? ”
Yan Ning shook her head and smiled widely, soaking in the mist she spitted out. "Today's New Year, I naturally have to wait for you to come back, and the baby is also waiting for you. We're going to keep the New Year together. ”
Gu Mingxuan wrapped her robe tightly in distress, then bent down and hugged her horizontally, and strode forward.
Yan Ning panicked: "Ah Xuan...... Your legs! ”
"Shh......h Don't talk. "In the darkness of the night, his eyes were as bright as the stars. The little servants retreated far away, and in the huge garden, only the squeaking sound of stepping in the snow could be heard.
"Is it cold or not?"
"It's not cold." Yan Ning smiled lightly and hugged his neck, leaned her head lightly on his broad chest, and listened to his steady breathing. For a while, the heart was very peaceful. In this life, it seems that I have never been so happy. Before I knew it, there were already tears in my eyes.
Baby, your father is the most magnificent person in this world, and the person who is most relied on by his mother, he is our pride.
Gu Mingxuan asked her softly, "Have you had dinner?" ”
Yan Ning shook her head: "I'm not very hungry." ”
"Well, if you're not hungry, you'll have to eat something." He walked quickly to the house and slowly placed her on the bed, "I'll go and ask someone to make you something to eat, and wait for me." ”
When he turned around, Yan Ning took his hand and said coquettishly: "Ah Xuan...... I'm really not hungry. In the evening, I drank some lotus seed porridge. Can you sit down and talk to me? It's so boring for me to be here alone. ”
Since Yan Ning had a child, she basically hasn't stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion. Gu Mingxuan really took a fancy to this child and didn't want their mother and son to be harmed in any way. For the first time, many guards were added to the mansion, which was not guarded. She was also asked not to move around at will.
But who is Yan Ning? No matter how many years she has been in Donghe, she has never been idle in her five years in Changping Village. Now when I have my free time, I decide to do nothing.
"I want to go to see Chengning today, why did you let people stop me?" She asked him with an eyebrow.
Gu Mingxuan smiled: "Chengning is a child after all, I don't know how heavy it is, and your body is weak, what if you have a fetal gas." Ah Ning is good, are you obedient? It's also cold during this time, so why don't you just rest at home? I'll take care of the rest. ”
Yan Ning nodded, what he said was not unreasonable, this child was really hard-won. Because Doctor Luo said many years ago that her body was invaded by cold, and it would be difficult for her to conceive a child again in this life. But now, after all, it is God's mercy.
"What are your wishes for the new year?" He took her in his arms.
"Hope...... Ah Xuan is healthy and healthy, and the baby was born safely, I hope that our family can be together forever and never be separated again. A smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
Gu Mingxuan didn't say anything anymore, just slowly stroked her long silky hair one by one. The lights not far away exploded slightly. You can faintly hear the sound of fireworks blooming outside the house.
The old year is coming to an end, and the new year is ...... It's finally here.

The moment he got out of the carriage, a mountain of calls resounded across the earth: "Eldest princess! Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess! ”
Yan Ning couldn't help but burst into tears, and under the carriage, Gu Mingxuan opened his arms to her: "Come down, my princess." ”
Yan Ning never thought that one day she would be able to see these former subordinates. Everyone's face was full of excitement, and some people silently wiped away tears.
She smiled with tears in her eyes and said aloud: "Ning Yan is back, everyone...... Are you okay? ”
"Good! Good! Good! They shouted in unison, waving their soldiers.
The former general of the Shen Yu Army stepped forward and knelt on one knee, choked up and said, "The last general will meet the eldest princess." ”
"General, please." Yan Ning hurriedly helped him up, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the general is still extraordinary." ”
"The last general is incompetent and failed to protect General Meng, please forgive the eldest princess!" He insisted on refusing to get up.
Yan Ning couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and said with a smile in her tears: "I heard that you made a well-dressed mound for Meng Jue, can you take me to see it?" ”
One side is covered with a green mound covered with snow, and the heroic general of the past still sleeps in the ground.
Yan Ning buried her head in Gu Mingxuan's arms and cried secretly. Meng Jue ended up like this, and she was the culprit. If she hadn't taken the lead in rebelling against the imperial capital, if it weren't for her insistence on coming to the city regardless of the lives of the 300,000 soldiers of Shen Yu's army, how could this good boy have died young?
He is too young, and he still has a good age, and he has not even married his relatives. He dedicated his life to Shen Yujun, but in the end, it was not the horse leather shroud that died on the battlefield, but in the conspiracy and calculation of the court.
I heard that after his death, his body was hung at the gate of the imperial capital and exposed to the wind and sun for seven days.
I heard that only his father was left in his family, and he came thousands of miles to collect the body of his only child.
Yan Ning smiled bitterly, there are still so many brothers who have been displaced and died in the world......
Gu Mingxuan comforted her and said, "Don't blame yourself, they are all willing." Now it's almost over, and we're waiting for us to unify Donghe. ”
Yan Ning raised her hazy teary eyes and asked him, "Will it really end?" ”
With a long sigh, he smiled, "Yes." ”
In the spring of the sixteenth year of Donghe Shi Youqing, King Da Ruixuan, who was also the lord of Lanqing City, led an army of 600,000 to cross the Qinglan River and once again came to the imperial capital.
Just like twelve years ago, Ning Yan, the eldest princess of Donghe, confronted Yu Jin's subordinates from Anhua, just like six years ago when Ning Yan led an army of 300,000 Shen Yu against the supreme authority in Donghe. History always seems strikingly similar.
In this battle, Yan Ning insisted on following. Because she couldn't do nothing, she watched Donghe end it completely. At least, she wanted to see Zheng Yu again, to see this once so close teenager.
There are many ways to go back, and many things are difficult to turn back. Looking back, how many old people have been extinct.
Zheng Yu, Sister Huang hopes that you can let go of all this, be the young man who didn't know the world at the beginning, and keep the last trace of clarity and cleanliness on your body. I don't want to see you sink into the quagmire, and you can't extricate yourself more and more.
Hope...... It's still too late.
