Chapter 152: Prevention (Pink 330+)
In the last life, Liu Heida in Chenzhou in the east was originally taken by the prince with soldiers and horses.
Where Liu Heidatun's soldiers were, where the weapons and horses came from, the prince knew very well.
That battle was also the most important battle for him to establish his status as the crown prince in the eyes of His Majesty.
In this life, he deliberately gave up this opportunity. β because he was going to subdue his first general.
"Go to the study." The prince turned around and went to the study in the side hall.
It's all his henchmen.
In the reincarnation of a human being, he uses all the dead soldiers of the previous life, and there is no need to worry about his secrets being leaked.
"Send someone to Chenzhou to deliver the letter. Let's just say that we should act according to the original plan. The prince commanded lightly.
Needless to say, his men knew what he meant.
The next day, seven or eight fast horses ran out of the four gates of Chang'an City, and went away in four directions, southeast, northwest, and north.
Even if someone were following them, they wouldn't know exactly what their target was.
β¦β¦
After Aunt Jin and Chen Yuejiao moved away, the Xiao family was a lot quieter.
Guan Yunlian was returned to the second room and can no longer be in the big room.
Every day, except for coming in from the corner door across the courtyard wall to ask Long Xiangye for peace, she has nothing to do, so she often takes a small car and goes to Chen Yuejiao's new house.
Xiao Taiji was busy with the shop outside, and he remembered Long Shuzhi, and Guan Yunlian talked less and less.
Long Xiangye is gone, Aunt Jin is playing on the side every day, and she has wilted for a few days. Later, Du Hengshuang reminded her that it was time to find Xiao Yanran's mother-in-law's house, and Long Xiangye cheered up, discussed with the matchmaker every day, looked for a suitable person, and then looked for an opportunity to visit the door to see how the other party's family was doing.
Du Hengshuang is also much more relaxed, and he can recuperate quietly.
Every day, in addition to counting the days when Xiao Shi and his return, he prepared small clothes and swaddling clothes, as well as diapers for the children in his belly.
These things. She doesn't fake the hands of others. Let a few of her cronies do it herself, and she has to do it under her nose, and when she is done, she will wash and dry it by Zhihua.
The years are quiet, and time flies. Soon it was early April. Du Hengshuang is seven months pregnant. The belly is even bigger. She stood there, looking down and unable to see her toes. The calves and ankles were swollen severely, and Zhu Susu began to be six months old. I live with Du Hengshuang, so it's convenient to take care of it at any time.
She knew that she was pregnant with twins and was prone to premature birth. Seven months is probably the limit.
On this morning, Du Hengshuang woke up from his sleep.
Stretching out the fine-edged begonia pattern open-carved fan on the south wall, Du Hengshuang looked at the flowers in the courtyard and smiled slightly.
Zhu Susu opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Du Hengshuang wearing a grass-green robe, leaning on the windowsill and looking out, and said busily: "There is still some cool breeze in the morning, you be careful, don't catch a cold." β
Du Hengshuang looked back and smiled: "The weather outside is very good." Then he asked Zhu Susu, "Have you gone to the outer courtyard?" See Xiao Yi? Is there any news from the uncle? β
Zhu Su knew that Du Hengshuang was asking Xiao Shiji's news, and his heart sank. They hadn't heard from Xiao Shiji for almost a month and a half.
In the past, every four or five days, news from Xiao Shiji was delivered.
This time, I waited for a month and a half, and there was no news.
Zhu Susu walked around, and vaguely heard rumors that the war in Chenzhou in the east had been repeated.
Originally, I thought that Liu Heida's soldiers were old, their weapons were outdated, and there were not many qualified war horses, so they must not be the opponents of the Great Qi army led by King Yijun.
At the beginning of the battle, Xiao Shihe, the pioneer under King Yijun, was even more brave, not only able to take the lead, but also to arrange troops, all the way like a devastating one, almost attacked Liu Heida's lair.
But that's the difference.
It is rumored that a month and a half ago, Xiao Shiji and his 5,000 soldiers and horses were ambushed by Liu Heida, and they have been fighting hard, and there is no news so far.
Both Zhu Susu and Xiao Yi heard this rumor, but they didn't dare to tell Du Hengshuang that they knew.
And Zhu Susu didn't believe it. She knows what is going on without wind and waves.
So early this morning, she deliberately went to Yijun Wangfu.
Before King Yijun set out on the expedition, he had already taken his fiancΓ©e Murong Lanzhou to his palace for a while.
They were supposed to get married in March this year.
Because in the first month, Emperor Yongchang suddenly ordered the king of Yijun to go to Chenzhou Liu Heida, so their marriage was postponed again.
But Murong Lanzhou's position as Princess Yijun is a certainty, and no one can shake it.
Zhu Susu cured Murong Lanzhou's asthma. But because she once thought about King Yijun, Murong Lanzhou didn't treat Su Su very much.
The relationship between the two is not the same, but also very ordinary.
However, for the sake of Du Hengshuang, Zhu Susu went to the Yijun Mansion and asked to see Murong Lanzhou.
This time, Murong Lanzhou was quite polite to her. When she knew that she was here for Du Hengshuang, Murong Lanzhou also had a smile on her face.
"You live in the Xiao family?"
Zhu Susu nodded, "Hengshuang is about to give birth, and I'm worried that she will have a mistake, so I simply live in her house and take care of it at any time." β
Murong Lanzhou thought of the child, his face was a little yearning, and he said leisurely: "Susu, take good care of Hengshuang, especially her child." It's not easy for her. β
Zhu Susu thought so, and hurriedly said: "Miss Murong also knows the situation of the Xiao family? β
Murong Lanzhou smiled, changed the topic and asked, "You came today, but is there something?" β
Zhu Susu asked about Xiao Shiji's recent situation.
Murong Lanzhou hesitated for a long time before telling her that Xiao Shiji had indeed been ambushed, whether he was dead or alive, and there might be news in the next two days.
Zhu Susu froze suddenly. She had imagined many scenarios, but she didn't think that Xiao Shihe would die young.
If Xiao Shiji really died, Du Hengshuang's belly would be two posthumous children.
Zhu Susu's face was miserable, and he felt that his heart was so blocked that he couldn't speak.
Murong Lanzhou's impression of Zhu Susu couldn't help but change greatly, and comforted her: "What I said is also the worst-case scenario. In fact, it doesn't have to be so bad. β
Zhu Susu nodded distraughtly. asked Murong Lanzhou, "Miss Murong, who knows about this matter?" I've heard some rumors outside......"
Murong Lanzhou sighed, walked to the window, looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and said softly: "There is nothing to come about, it is all for a reason. Turning his head and staring at Zhu Susu, "Hengshuang's side, you must pay attention." I can't let her know. You said it. She was pregnant with twin babies and couldn't withstand such a big shock. β
"I know." Zhu Susu said goodbye and returned to the Xiao family.
β¦β¦
Now Du Hengshuang asked about Xiao Shiji's situation again, and Zhu Susu had no choice but to hide it from her. said with a smile: "There is no news from Brother Xiao yet." But. No news is good news. You can wait with peace of mind. Give birth to the child smoothly, and wait for Brother Xiao to come back and hug the big fat boy silly. β
Du Hengshuang touched her stomach and felt the child in her belly kick her again. couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Little stinky boy, when you hear about your father, you can't help it, right?" When he comes back, I'll teach you two a good lesson. β
Zhu Susu's heart was sour when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go out to see how the delivery room is prepared." When you're tired, sleep for a while. After speaking, he left Du Hengshuang's inner room as if he was fleeing.
Du Hengshuang's mind was on the child, and he didn't notice the strangeness of Zhu Susu.
Zhu Susu came to the outer courtyard and explained to Xiao Yi again that in the past month, the people of the Xiao family were not allowed to go out. The food had to be sent directly to the outer courtyard by the merchants outside, and sent to the inner courtyard by Xiao Yi himself.
The fence between the second room and the large house also played a role this time.
Zhu Su ordered the people to lock the small corner door on the wall, and did not allow people in the second room to enter or leave.
Long Xiangye and Xiao Yanran couldn't go out, so they could only stay in their own yard.
But they all knew that Du Hengshuang was going to give birth, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.
Because Zhu Susu told them about the dangers of many secondary twins, if they are not careful, both mother and child will die, so any precautions cannot be exaggerated.
Xiao Yanran was just a thirteen-year-old girl, so she was naturally frightened.
Long Xiangye even understood that what Zhu Susu said was true, and she also knew how important Du Hengshuang's position was in her eldest son's heart. If Du Hengshuang was to be good at this juncture, she didn't dare to imagine what her eldest son would do.
So these two people are honest and don't make a fuss.
Long Shuzhi happened to go back to her home for a while, and she was not in the Xiao family, but she had a lot less trouble.
And the news that Xiao Shihe was in an ambush and his life and death was uncertain, but under the joint efforts of Zhu Susu and Xiao Yi, it was strictly concealed.
Guan Yunlian couldn't go to the big room to ask Long Xiangye for a while, and when she was bored, she ran to Chen Yuejiao's side even more diligently.
At noon on this day, she came to Chen Yuejiao's house in Xinchangfang again, and said very unhappily: "Sister-in-law is too much, to prevent us from being like a thief, now the small door on the wall is locked, and we are not allowed to enter or exit." β
Chen Yuejiao was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" β
Guan Yunlian spread her hands and said angrily: "How do I know Lu Dao?" I'm crazy. Our second master wanted to go to see his mother, but she didn't allow it. Such a daughter-in-law should really be divorced. β
Chen Yuejiao pursed her lips and smiled, peeled a plate of snow-white pears for Guan Yunlian, and put it in front of her.
Guan Yunlian picked up a piece of pear and ate it, and asked in a low voice, "Prince...... Have you been here lately? β
Chen Yuejiao shook her head calmly, "I told you a long time ago, the prince has nothing to do with me." It's been more than two months since we moved here, and the prince hasn't even sent any of us. - Cousin, I've let you down. The prince looked at me differently at that time, and it was also for the sake of the Xiao family. β
Guan Yunlian was very puzzled, tilted her head and took another bite of the pear, and said, "If it's for the sake of the Xiao family, why should I show my sister-in-law?" β
Chen Yuejiao shook her head, "The crown prince is a person of high power, and his mind is not something that people like us can figure out." β
Guan Yunlian sat for a while, it was really boring, so she went back.
Chen Yuejiao told Aunt Jin about the Xiao family's big house, "I don't know what Lu Dao is doing, but I actually sealed the door, and my cousin and cousin-in-law are not allowed to go to the old lady to say goodbye." β
Aunt Jin pinched her fingers and counted for a while, and said, "Grandma Da Young has been seven months, and I think she is about to give birth." "So lock the door tightly in case something goes wrong.
Chen Yuejiao was doing needlework, and when she heard this, her hand shook, and the sharp embroidery needle scraped on her fingers, and a drop of blood rolled down from her fingers and dripped on the embroidery in front of her, red and dazzling.
"It's only been seven months, and you're about to give birth?" Chen Yuejiao wrapped one hand around the thread and muttered to herself.
Aunt Jin explained to her with a smile: "When I was in the Xiao family, I heard that Zhu Langzhong mentioned to the old lady in a trance, saying that the eldest and young grandmothers might be pregnant with twins. - Twins are usually born in seven months, and few are pregnant to term. β
Chen Yuejiao suddenly said, "So that's the case." But I couldn't help but think of some rumors in the market recently. She had also heard that the army led by King Yijun was happy and then worried in Chenzhou, and now it is in a stalemate war, and you are going back and forth with Liu Heida's army, and the fight is inextricable.
Although the prince never came again on the surface, the princess's dowry mother-in-law often came to her.
Chen Yuejiao thought about waiting for the crown princess to bring her mother-in-law over again, and asked her well.
Sure enough, the next day, the princess's mother-in-law came again and sent Chen Yuejiao a few new snacks.
Chen Yuejiao quietly asked about the war in Chenzhou, especially Xiao Shiji's safety.
The mother-in-law had already been advised, and pretended to tell her mysteriously, saying that Xiao Shiji was in danger, but in fact there was no danger, so she could rest assured......
Chen Yuejiao mentioned it casually, saying that Du Hengshuang, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Xiao family, was about to give birth, she was very worried, and always wanted to come to visit, but the other party closed the door and no one was allowed to enter. He also said that if the young grandmother knew that Xiao Shi was in distress, she would definitely be sad, should she come to the door to say it......
