When she got up early the next morning, Mama Hua brought Xu Jiayi a bowl of fetal medicine, and Xu Jiayi took it and took a small sip. Before the fetal pill was drunk, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by Mama Yao's voice.

"Old lady, go slowly. It rained last night, and the ground was slipping. ”

"It's okay." Old Lady Chu walked in from the door as she spoke, looking at the dark green under Xu Jiayi's eyes, Old Lady Chu sat beside her distressedly, "How do you feel today?" ”

Xu Jiayi looked at Mrs. Chu with some surprise, I heard that Mrs. Chu almost fainted yesterday, and her body has not been very good, why did she come to her so early today. He was about to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Mrs. Chu, so she could only half-lean on the bed and nodded, "It's good." ”

Old Mrs. Chu looked at Xu Jiayi's expression, and saw that although her face was not very good-looking, she heard that she didn't go on a hunger strike anymore, she ate everything she should eat, and she moved around when she should have moved, so she nodded immediately, "It's best if you can figure it out, you must remember that you are not alone now, and there is still a child in your belly, if Changfeng is really ......."

Old Lady Chu paused when she said this, her eyes flashed before she continued, "This is Changfeng...... children. ”

Xu Jiayi knew what the words that Mrs. Chu didn't say vaguely, and at the moment she hooked her lips and showed a shallow smile, and her palm unconsciously covered her lower abdomen, "I understand......"

Time passed day by day, and Chu Changfeng still had no news.

Xu Yao is crying every day these days, crying so much that her eyes are swollen. When Xu Jiayi heard that Mama Hua cautiously talked about this with herself, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's already happened, what's the use of crying other than making yourself sad?

Xu Jiayi thought about it, and asked Mama Hua to boil some swelling decoction and send it to Xu Yao, and untie her by the way. In the end, it was Chu Changfeng's cousin, and he couldn't really look at her and cry blindly.

After Mama Hua sent the decoction over, Xu Jiayi didn't care about it anymore, but she didn't expect that Xu Yao came to Fengyuan the next day.

At that time, Xiangqiao and Mama Hua were sitting in the yard, taking advantage of the fact that the sun was just right for their son, and the light was not bad to make some small things, and at a glance, they knew that it was made for the child in Xu Jiayi's belly. Xiangqiao is a good hand at needlework, even the embroidery girl in the palace is not bad, but now that he is older, he is afraid of tired eyes, so he rarely uses needlework anymore. is to occasionally use needlework, and that must be to make clothes for Xu Jiayi.

Although Mama Hua can also do some needlework, she really can't handle it compared to Xiangqiao, so this son only does some chores for Xiangqiao.

When Xu Yao entered the courtyard, she saw this scene, and her eyes flashed.

"Why is my cousin here?" Mama Hua stood up and blessed Xu Yao, and asked loudly.

Xu Yao tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I'll come to see my cousin-in-law, is my cousin-in-law there?" ”

"Here, cousin, wait a minute, the slave and maid will go in." Mama Hua said and glanced at the little maid on the side, and the little maid immediately ran into the inner room, and saluted Xu Jiayi before whispering, "Madam, the cousin is here." ”

What did she come to do?

Cuiyun and Yuanxiang glanced at each other and lowered their eyes silently. Xiangqiao glanced at Xu Jiayi, who was silent, thinking that Xu Jiayi's son didn't want to see anyone, and was about to go out to go back to Xu Yao, but she heard Xu Jiayi's hoarse voice ringing in her ears, "Invite someone in." ”

"Yes." The little maid answered, turned her head and went out of the room to pass the word.

After a while, Xu Yao walked in from the outside and stopped at the door of the room.

Her face was very haggard, Cuiyun moved an embroidery pier for her and asked her to sit, but she didn't sit down, just stood there staring at Xu Jiayi with burning eyes.

To be precise, it was staring at Xu Jiayi's stomach.

Xu Jiayi was a little furious by her eyes, looked down at her stomach, and then fell on Xu Yao, "Did you come to me for something?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Yao shook her head slightly, hiding the obscurity in the depths of her eyes, "Cousin-in-law, pay attention to your body, I was infected with some wind and cold yesterday, and I was afraid that I would give my cousin-in-law a bad illness, so I will stay soon." ”

After speaking, he bowed slightly towards Xu Jiayi, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Looking at Xu Yao's back as she walked away, Xu Jiayi was a little confused, glanced at the expressions of Cuiyun and Yuanxiang next to her, and saw that they didn't react, so she was even more puzzled.

Didn't you come to her?

Why didn't you say anything, and people left again?

Don't say it's Xu Jiayi, it's Xu Yao herself, and she doesn't know why she came to go through this.

Xu Jiayi practiced according to Dr. Shen's instructions, and under the tonic like flowing water, her belly became bigger and bigger, so that she had to hold her belly with her hands when she walked.

She firmly believed that Chu Changfeng would definitely come back safely, but what no one expected was that it was the barbarians of neighboring countries who arrived earlier than Chu Changfeng.

Changzhou is in complete chaos.

Although Chu Minglei and Chu Changfeng left, they also left people to guard Changzhou. Originally, even if the barbarians raided, there would be no big problem, but I didn't expect that this time the barbarians were menacing, and the army was overwhelming. According to the guess of Deputy General Cheng, who was defending the city, there were about 200,000 enemy troops.

What is the concept of 200,000?!

Now there are many guards left in Changzhou, but there are only about 20,000 people. Even if these soldiers in Changzhou are brave and good men, they can't be one against ten!

Xu Jiayi's scalp was numb when she heard the news, but Steward Chang said that the chances of winning this battlefield were not great, but they were not trying to win now, but delaying time. They have already sent someone to report the news to Hou Ye, and it will be safe when the prince or Hou Ye returns.

However, in fact, Deputy General Zai Cheng led the troops to resist with difficulty for almost a month, and Chu Minglei still did not come back. He disappeared as if he was like Chu Changfeng, and there was no news.

Xu Jiayi has rarely seen Steward Chang again in the past few days, and I heard Cuiyun and them say that Steward Chang went to Vice General Shen to assist him in handling things. The maids and maids in the house were also transferred to the camp to help treat the wounded or cook and wash clothes, and there were only a few people left in the house.

Because she is pregnant, there are more maids left around, Xiangqiao, Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, as well as Mama Hua. And on Mrs. Chu's side and Xu Yao's side, only one Mama Yao and Mama Wang were left.

Xu Jiayi touched it, and Changzhou was afraid that it wouldn't last long.

After dinner, after walking around the courtyard of Fengyuan for half an hour, Xu Jiayi went back to bed and lay down. Xu is due to too much pressure recently, and he has fallen asleep after a while.

In the dream, Xu Jiayi found that she was not in the Anping Marquis's Mansion, but on the street.

All around were the cries of children in despair, the screams of men trying their best to die with the barbarians entering the city, the screeching sound of all kinds of weapons coming together, the people rushing to flee for their lives, the corpses of broken limbs lying on the streets, and the smell of blood in the air......

Xu Jiayi exclaimed in fright, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the bed curtain above her head with palpitations to know that she was having a nightmare. Raising her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, Xu Jiayi lay on the bed weakly, still thinking about the scene that happened in the dream just now, and her face turned a little paler.

The scene in the dream was so real, as if it had really happened to her. Thinking about it day and dreaming at night, Xu Jiayi wasn't sure if it was because she was too worried about the battle in Changzhou these days that she would have such a dream at night.

Cuiyun, who was staying vigil outside, also heard the sound, lit the lamp and walked in to see Xu Jiayi's sweaty appearance, she couldn't help frowning, took a handkerchief, and carefully wiped the sweat off for her, "Madam, what's wrong with you, is it a nightmare?" Otherwise, the slave and maid will go and get a doctor......"

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare, I don't need to ask a doctor." Xu Jiayi shook her head, feeling that her clothes were wet and sticking to her body a little uncomfortable, and frowned slightly.

Cuiyun nodded, went outside to get a basin of hot water and came in to wipe Xu Jiayi's body, and after waiting for her to change into dry clothes, she didn't retreat, but stayed aside, "It's still early, madam, you can sleep for a while, and the slave will stay here with you." ”

"Don't be afraid, the dreams are all fake, don't be afraid." Cuiyun knew that his wife was timid, so he didn't even blow out the light, but still let it burn to make the room look brighter. He knelt on the edge of the bed and reached out to shake Xu Jiayi's palm, comforting her silently.

Xu Jiayi was scared and felt palpitations, lying on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, pulling Cuiyun to talk all night, until it was almost dawn, and she closed her eyes for a while. Seeing that Xu Jiayi was asleep, Cuiyun blew out the lights and retreated lightly.

It's just that when the sky was bright, the courtyard door of the maple garden outside was knocked on with a "knock" sound, which made Xu Jiayi wake up in an instant. Listening to the movement outside, I vaguely heard Tsunata's voice. Shouldn't he be on Vice Admiral Cheng's side at this time, why did he come here?

couldn't sleep anymore, Xu Jiayi simply got up.

Hearing the sound of rustling in the house, Cuiyun lightly pushed the door and took a look, only to find that Xu Jiayi had woken up, and was sitting up with difficulty on her stomach, busy with Yuanxiang and the two of them coming in to serve, and muttered, "Madame didn't sleep well last night, why did Steward Chang come to knock on the courtyard door at this time, and didn't let Madame sleep a little longer." ”

Sure enough, it's Tsunata.

"Steward Chang must have something important coming now, you can say a few words with this mouth." Xu Jiayi's eyes were full of exhaustion, half leaning on the bed, raising her hand to rub her temples, and said faintly.
