Chapter 247: The Storm is Coming
The news that Dayu had come to invade the border of the Great Sage soon came, and such news was circulating everywhere in the capital, and some people who thought they had a little knowledge discussed that the imperial court should not dispose of the Marquis of Pingshun, and should not have taken back the military power, and the people were panicked.
On this day, Xie Yao finished checking Chu Yan's pulse as usual, and went straight to Mu Zexi's study.
Since Chu Chang became pregnant, the morning sickness was a little bad, and he prescribed some medicine, which eased it a little. Not only him, but even Mu Zexi has lost a lot of weight these days.
Mu Zexi was already waiting for Xie Yao in his private library, and the table was full of letters from the border, all of which were about what Da Yu had come to commit. Mu Zexi, who is a pillar of the imperial court, is so busy that he can't even take care of eating every day, but he still gets up first thing every morning to prepare medicinal food for Chu Yan, and then goes to busy himself with his own affairs.
Seeing that Mu Zexi was looking seriously, Xie Yao sneered and said, "Are you nervous, or are you nervous?" β
It's a joke, but it's also true. Chu Yan just said that she didn't want the child to make a fuss, but now she is still very cooperative. Is it because of Mama Fang? Maybe it's because Mu Zexi threatened with fish, right?
Hearing this, Mu Zexi slowly raised his head, put the letter aside with a stiff arm, and his brows were unconsciously twisted together, with a chill on his beautiful face.
"What's wrong with you? Nervous in your arms? β
As he spoke, Xie Yao walked over and put his hand on Mu Zexi's arm, and when he touched it, Mu Zexi's eyebrows jumped. Then, Xie Yao's exaggerated laughter echoed in the library: "I guess, this must be Chang'er's masterpiece?" Presumably it was pressed while sleeping, and you didn't move, which caused your arm to be numb? Yes and no? β
Mu Zexi rolled his eyes angrily, and said to Xie Yao: "Don't talk nonsense, how is she doing?" β
Naturally, it was Chu Yan who asked. Although Chu Yan still looks normal every day, she never talks to him too much, and she behaves very indifferently, which makes him even more uncomfortable.
"Ben Gongzi's medical skills, you can rest assured. It's just that when she was pregnant, it wasn't quite right. β
Da Yu came to attack, if the Later Song Dynasty came to intervene again, then Mu Zexi would have to be recruited in person. At that time, if Chu Yan stayed in the capital, she naturally couldn't rest assured.
Mu Zexi obviously thought of this, and said lightly: "No matter what the time is, I will protect her thoroughly." β
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, it's a matter of Dayu's side, let's say, what are your plans?"
Xie Yao didn't know about Chu Yan and Mu Zexi, but Mu Zexi was worried that Chu Yan was pregnant, and he slandered Mu Zexi in his heart: Sure enough, he was a new father! Really inexperienced! Blind nervousness.
Of course, as a person who has not yet become a father, although his words are a little inappropriate, he is a miracle doctor, and it is very strange to see Mu Zexi nervous like this.
There was a faint fragrance of old ink in the library, and it was very pleasant to smell.
Mu Zexi turned a deaf ear to Xie Yao's words, suddenly curled his lips, and asked with a smile: "Do you think the books here are enough for him to read?" β
He?
Who is it?
Xie Yao raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "She? Sister-in-law? Eighty percent of my children don't know how to read. β
As he spoke, he felt that Mu Zexi was too naΓ―ve, and laughed very ill-willedly. If you want to say that Mu Zexi has been a bookworm since he was a child, I'm afraid that few people will believe it. Because when you see Mu Zexi, he is not doing his job. When you didn't see him, he was still not doing his job. But when you're not doing your job, he's already ahead of you. This is probably the pervert in Chu Yan's mouth.
However, Chu Yan really doesn't like to read. It is said that when I was a child, I memorized a poem for a month and didn't finish it. Therefore, this book pavilion, I am afraid that it can only be used by Mu Zexi.
However, Xie Yao really guessed wrong.
Mu Zexi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Yao, "It's a child." β
Child?
What child?
Xie Yaogongzi's head was confused, and he suddenly reacted, what Mu Zexi said turned out to be an unborn child. But, Lord Mu, at this time, the war in Dayu is imminent, and the first child to be born will be born nine months later, what kind of heart are you doing???
Xie Gongzi, who was almost choked to death by his own saliva, helplessly wiped the non-existent sweat on his head, and said helplessly: "If that child is like you, maybe you can use your library." If it's like a sister-in-law, it's not a good thing. β
"From now on, it should be like me."
Mu Zexi thought about it seriously and invented prenatal education in the 21st century.
Suddenly, Xie Yao stood aside silently as if he had been struck by lightning, looked at Mu Zexi with twitching at the corners of his mouth for a long time, and reminded helplessly again: "Mu Zexi, now, shouldn't we think about the matter of Dayu first?" β
Mu Zexi is not the kind of person who can't distinguish priorities, even if Chu Yan is pregnant, but this heart is too early. Suddenly, Mu Zexi smiled and said indifferently: "That's it, I will teach it myself in the future, and I think even if I am like a sister-in-law, it will not be bad." β
Raising his head, he looked at Xie Yao, and asked again, "What did you just say?" β
What to say β
Xie Yao almost didn't slow down, took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed the helplessness in his heart, and repeated for the third time: "I asked, what are you going to do about Dayu?" β
If you didn't care about this matter, do you think that Gongzi Xie would still be able to run to this kind of place full of books but only without medical books in his busy schedule?
Of course, in the early years, there were medical books here, and later because Gongzi Xie always came here to read medical books, Prince Mu directly asked people to move all the medical books to Xie's Mansion, and then since then, this book pavilion, Gongzi Xie has rarely come.
Hearing Xie Yao ask him about Da Yu, Mu Zexi suddenly retracted the gentleness on his face and replaced it with a cold expression, "Da Yu has been planning for a long time, but I'm afraid that it's not just them, and most of the Later Song Dynasty won't settle down." Today, there is no one available among the military generals of the DPRK and China. β
There are a lot of military generals in the DPRK, but most of them are the kind of people who live by the budding shade of their ancestors, as soon as they hear that they are going to fight, one by one, my legs are not good today, what is wrong with the old lady in the family tomorrow, I have to be filial. Therefore, in a stable dynasty, most of the people raised were moths.
Although Xie Yao didn't like the situation, but after all, he was the head of the Xie family, and he still paid some attention to it, after listening to Mu Zexi's words, his face immediately changed a little, and his face was calm, "One by one, when it comes to the critical moment, the chain will be dropped, it is really a waste." β
Thinking about it, I can force the always gentle and elegant Xie Gongzi to swear, but I can imagine how bad the current situation is.
"As long as Qi Yangcheng doesn't have an accident, Dayu is not a difficult thing. You forgot, General Xiao, there is more than one son. β
Xie Yao's words just reminded Mu Zexi, but, Xiao Xiaoxiao, is it reliable?
Jiangmen Tiger Girl, although it is easy to convince people in terms of identity, but those old stubborn people in the court are not so easy to accept.
Mu Zexi suddenly chuckled and asked, "If she goes to the battlefield, are you willing to do it?" β
"What am I reluctant to give? Her heart has long been on the battlefield, and even if I stop it, it will only make her unhappy. β
Although Xie Yao didn't say anything about Xiao Xiaoxiao, everyone knew it. These two people are now separated by a layer of window paper, and they will break when they poke. But these two people are holding it again, and no one wants to find out.
After lowering his head and thinking about it, Mu Zexi finally shook his head and said, "General Xiao has been fighting all his life, and now he can't even have to work so hard for his only daughter under his knees. Xie Yao, this matter is not only for you, but also for General Xiao. The battlefield is dangerous, and Xiao Xiaoxiao has no experience. If it really comes to the time, I will ask for it myself. β
This is also the reason why he is anxious to worry about the child in Chu Yan's womb. Because he is afraid, there will be no chance in the future.
As soon as his words came out, Xie Yao coldly refused: "No! If you recruit in person, who will be in charge of the capital? β
The old emperor is weak, he is already a person who has stepped into the coffin with half a foot, among the princes and princes, Mu Zexi is the most outstanding, if Mu Zexi leaves Beijing, I am afraid that many things will be messed up.
"You forgot, father, I am not the only son. I believe that Yuan Qi will also grow up slowly, and he will become a son who makes his father proud. β
In a word, Mu Zexi said it very lightly, but it smashed into Xie Yao's heart for no reason, and suddenly, there was any emotion in his eyes, and he couldn't catch it quickly.
After a moment, he whispered, "Yes." You do things, always have your ideas. β
How could he have forgotten that Mu Zexi has always been an assertive person.
"If I personally enlist in the future, I will entrust my sister-in-law to you, everything in the capital is complicated, and I ask you to take care of it on your behalf to ensure that she is well-treated."
For some reason, Xie Yao always had the feeling that Mu Zexi was explaining what was behind him, so he immediately put on a straight face and said very angrily: "My daughter-in-law and children, I will protect them well." My son is very busy, so I won't waste this time on you. β
Knowing that Xie Yao was joking, Mu Zexi didn't say much, just shook his head and smiled, with a touch of helplessness and loneliness on his face.
"Wei'er has already sent it away, if you provoke other peach blossoms, it will be none of my son's business. However, I advise you to stay in the capital in peace, if Du Ze'er really climbs the wall one day, it may be more troublesome than you provoke the peach blossoms. β
Xie Wei was sent out of the capital, and Xie Yao treated him as a sister, which really didn't look like a sister-in-law.
In fact, everyone thinks that Xie Yao and Xie Gongzi are gentle and friendly, but in fact, he is the one who is not easy to get close to.
Mu Zexi nodded, and suddenly said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, she should be annoyed with me." I thought about it for a few days, and finally understood what she minded. It's not a child-avoiding medicine, nor other women, but the title of the sixth princess. β
Because of this title, even if Mu Zexi's love for her is complete, it can't give her pure love. Because behind Chu Yan is the entire Chu family.
From that day when she began to ask which one to choose between the world and women, he began to gradually understand.
Xie Yao was a little baffled by Mu Zexi's words, touched his nose in a sneer, and said, "Women are pregnant and have a big temper, you don't want to think about it, just endure it." β
Mu Zexi lowered his head and said helplessly: "I hope that she can directly get angry with me and lose her temper." "It's like this, everything is as usual, but there is something between the hearts, and this feeling is really uncomfortable."
After saying that, Mu Zexi picked up another letter on the table and looked at it, and the knot between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
