CHAPTER XLII

The commander of the Southern Tang Dynasty returned to the dynasty inexplicably, and the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army only defended but did not attack, although there was occasional friction between the two armies, but neither of them caused heavy casualties, and the battle of Xiyuan entered a stalemate.

Zhou Xiao took 5,000 cavalry to transport Mo Xuanran's remains back to Kyoto, accompanied by An Qingchen. And An Mingxia and his wife still guarded Xiyun Town to prevent harassment from time to time by the Southern Tang army. Walking to the foot of Bishan Mountain, the sky began to drift snow, the cold wind, wrapped in large snowflakes, and it didn't take long for the coffin to be covered with snow.

Qingchen stretched out her hand and wanted to dust off the snow on it, but the snowflakes were accumulating more and more, and no matter how hard she tried, her tentacles were cold......

Seeing this, Zhou Xiao frowned, pulled Qingchen to his horse, wrapped her tightly in his arms with his black cloak, and said, "Qingchen, don't torture yourself." Then he turned his head and instructed the lieutenant general: "You first find a place and go and prepare a carriage." ”

Qingchen hid in Zhou Xiao's arms, only to feel groggy, after a while, he fell asleep and ......, Zhou Xiao did not see Qingchen for a long time, the probe looked, found her face flushed, and then reached out to touch her forehead, suddenly shocked, the military doctor did not accompany him, left Bishan, did not go to the village, did not go to the store, if there is a fever at this time, the consequences are unimaginable.

He marched on horseback, ordered the army to march quickly, and finally reached a small town before nightfall, which was called: Luoxia. Luoxia Town is the closest town to Bishan, out of Luoxia is Bishan, this town is named after the beautiful scenery when the sunset reflects Bishan. As soon as he arrived in this town, Zhou Xiao immediately ordered the army to set up camp, and he picked up An Qingchen and walked to the big tent that had already been set up......

Huang Shiren was writing a prescription at home, when suddenly two black-clothed people appeared inexplicably, and they tied him here unconsciously. At this time, his hands are tied, his mouth is gagged, and he only has a pair of eyes, and he can still move. He glanced up at the man in black sitting on it, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This person is handsome, but his face is so cold that he can freeze to death.

He was untied, removed from his mouth, and brought him to a hospital bed. I saw a delicate woman lying on this bed, her face flushed, her eyes closed, obviously suffering from wind cold.

Huang Shiren stretched out his hand and was about to check his pulse, when suddenly, a stone flew in and knocked his hand away. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately: "The eldest lord spares his life, the eldest lord spares his life!" ”

Seeing this scene, Vice General Liu next to him knew that the prince of his family did not want anyone to touch Miss An's family, but how could he diagnose the pulse if he didn't touch it? He had to speak: "Lord Wang, the doctor is benevolent. ”

Zhou Xiao also knew that he had overreacted, so he had to wave his hand and let Huang Shiren continue to diagnose the pulse.

Huang Shiren stretched out his hand trembling slightly, put on Qingchen's wrist, sometimes frowning, and sometimes chanting words in his mouth. Zhou Xiao waited sullenly and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Huang Shiren was startled and kowtowed again. Zhou Xiao said angrily: "Don't say anything more, cut off your head." ”

Huang Shiren stammered: "This girl, oh no, this ...... This young lady, she, she is cold in the body, cold; From...... Judging from this pulse, the breath in the young lady's body is congested, and it seems, it seems to be ......"

Zhou Xiao slapped the table and said, "Don't talk nonsense, sue the king, can it be cured?" ”

Huang Shiren wiped a cold sweat and said: "It can be cured, it can be cured, and the villain will make a prescription." ”

……

Qingchen woke up in the bumps of the carriage, the afterglow of the sunset shone in from the hanging tassel gap, Qingchen got up, lifted the tassel curtain, and looked at the sunset in Luoxia Town, the snow had already stopped, the sunset, against the vast snowfield, on the snowfield, was the bloody Luoxia Town. Looking closer, she saw Mo Xuanran's coffin, the snow had not melted, and Qingchen couldn't help but feel a tingle in her heart.

Putting down the tassel curtain, she remembered a poem by Li Shangyin: The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk.

Halfway through, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the curtain was lifted, revealing Zhou Xiao's handsome face, which was still exquisite, but haggard. Seeing that Qingchen had woken up, it was difficult to hide the joy in his eyes, he jumped into the carriage in one step, and the medicine in his hand was not spilled: "Wake up, come, drink the medicine." ”

"On the march, where did you get the potion?" Qingchen asked.

"In Luoxia Town, I tied up a Langzhong, at this time. He was boiling medicine in another carriage. ”

Qingchen couldn't laugh when he heard it: "You are the dignified Nine Emperors of Zhou, how can you tie up Langzhong?" And let him boil medicine in the carriage? You're not afraid to burn the wagon! ”

"One has been burned, and another has been replaced." Zhou Xiao said lightly, and handed over the black decoction.

Qingchen drank it all, letting the bitterness spread in her mouth, she hoped that the bitterness in her mouth could dilute the bitterness in her heart, which was the decoction that Zhou Xiao had exchanged for burning a carriage.

Under the care of Huang Shiren, who accompanied Tulang, Qingchen's body slowly recovered, and the army dragged down by Qingchen's illness gradually accelerated its march, and five days later, it arrived in Kyoto, Great Zhou.

At the gate of the city, the army of the Great Zhou changed into plain clothes, raised the white sails, An Qingchen got out of the carriage, also dressed in plain clothes, holding Mo Xuanran's coffin, and walked slowly.

At the door of the Mo Wangfu, the white sail was also hung, and the Mo housekeeper was dressed in plain clothes, standing in front of the door, and when he saw the master's coffin, he couldn't help but cry: "Lord Wang, the old slave has the entrustment of the old prince, the prince is leaving, let the old slave explain to the old prince under the spring......"

When Qingchen saw this scene, he couldn't help crying, looking at the depressed courtyard of Mowang's Mansion, his heart was even more desolate, Mo Xuanran was the only son in the family, and now that he died, the Mo family was extinct, in the future, who would this family rely on......

Zhou Xiao ordered someone to carry Mo Xuanran's coffin into the hall, and after it was properly placed, he said to An Qingchen: "I will go back to the palace first to report to my father, and I will return soon." ”

Qingchen Muran nodded, she is Mo Xuanran's wife who has not passed the door, and now there are neither women nor men in the Mo Palace, and she is the only one who can preside over the overall situation

Qingchen beat his spirits and arranged this qiē matter, and the maid would report it later, and said: "Steward Mo was too sad and fainted next to the prince's coffin. ”

Qingchen lamented in his heart, this housekeeper is also loyal: "Find a few housekeepers, carry him back to the house, and find a doctor to show the old housekeeper." ”

The maid took the order and left.

Qingchen stood up, suddenly felt dizzy, she hurriedly ordered someone to bring a bowl of porridge, she hasn't eaten anything today, she has to eat some, so that she can support it, at this time, she can't fall.

As soon as he finished eating, someone hurriedly came to report that someone from the palace had come to announce the decree. Qingchen had to get up and go out to greet him.

The person who came was Zhou Xiao, and when he saw Qingchen coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mowangfu...... The crowd took the order. ”

Qingchen knelt down to receive the order.

"Mo Wangfu Mo Xuanran, the first soldier, sacrificed his life for the country, specially named Yi Yonghou, buried with the courtesy of the prince, admire this!" Zhou Xiao handed the holy decree into Qingchen's hands, helped her up, and said, "Because I am in a hurry, my father also made a temporary decree, and it is a little simpler, don't blame you." ”

Qingchen said: "It's okay. ”

As soon as Zhou Xiao arrived, Qingchen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't understand the ancient etiquette system, and she was not familiar with the usual operation of the Mowang Mansion, she was feeling that it was difficult to start, with Zhou Xiao, she only needed to kneel in front of the spirit to receive the guests who came to mourn.

It's just that what An Qingchen didn't expect was that the first person to come to mourn was Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang took his wife and two daughters and bowed down in front of Mo Xuanranling.

said a lot, it is nothing more than a praise of the deeds of the deceased. After worshipping the deceased, he comforted An Qingchen again.

Liu Sisi deliberately wiped a handful of tears and said to Qingchen: "Miss An is really hard, she has not married into the door, she has become a surviving person, and the days to come, ...... Alas. ”

Liu Qianqian also pretended to be pitiful and said: "Yes, I'm afraid I'm going to be lonely and old in the future." ”

Qingchen watched these two people sing and harmonize in front of her, and felt very bored, and said coldly: "Qingchen will not bother the two of you for the rest of her life." ”

"You ......" Liu Sisi wanted to say more, but Liu Xiang shouted: "Don't be rude!" Liu Sisi and Liu Qianqian had to endure the sarcastic words and walked away.

As soon as this group of people left, a small servant came to report, saying that a woman at the door came to mourn the prince and called herself Xiaocui.

Emily? Isn't it the woman she saw when she first came to this other world, Qingchen said, "Let her in." "Being able to come at this time means that he is also an infatuated person.

The little guy was spitting and spitting, and he stopped talking.

Qingchen frowned and said, "What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The woman...... It seems that she is pregnant. ”
