Li Si fell ill suddenly, and the plot of the illness was bizarre, but he and his wife and concubine were having fun at night and suddenly fell ill and vomited blood and fell into a coma.

As a result, there were two very different reactions in the court and among the people.

The princes and princes, civil and military officials, and even the emperor were a little flustered because of Li Si's sudden illness, and the Zhongshu Province was responsible for the review and review of all the chapters, Li Si was the most important person, and no one could replace him except the emperor, so the entire Zhongshu Province had become a mess, and I didn't know what to do, and the Legalist disciples who had always been led by Li Si were even more six gods and no masters, once Li Si took the lead, many things did not know how to carry out the work.

Other ministers, such as Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others, hibernate and did not say anything except for doubts, but arranged for their servants to visit Li Xiang's mansion, and then began to plan plans for Li Si's death.

Now is the most intense time of the Great Qin reform, disarmament, the construction of the Eastern Road, the currency reform, and many important official affairs of the court and the counties of the world, after Li Si suddenly fell seriously ill, all government affairs were almost in a semi-suspended state, and a large number of books in the three provinces and six books were piled up again in the emperor's Zichen Palace, and after enjoying more than a year of leisure, the review of the recitals once again made the emperor begin to be anxious.

Among the people, Li Si's violent illness has become gossip news after tea and dinner.

What they are most interested in is the history of Li Si's violent illness, because there have been countless versions of gossip that have begun to circulate in Xianyang, and even spread quickly to other counties with the business travel.

Li Si, who is more than a year old, has been counting women for half a month in a row, and has been happily intermingling with more than a dozen wives and concubines night and night, and I heard that the dragon spirit and tiger have collapsed several beds, and every night I hear the heart-rending howl of a woman coming from the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion......

And news slowly spread that Li Si may have drunk a very mysterious potion, but this news came from no reason and was ridiculed by many people, but many people were emotional and asked around about the source of this mysterious potion.

But after all, it was a rumor, the matter of the mysterious potion was denied by Mrs. Li Si and the concubine in the house, Li Xiang had never drunk any mysterious potion, and the officials of the Imperial Physician Cheng and the Imperial Medical Department also spread the news, the matter of the mysterious potion was nothing, and after a few days of noisy and shouting, the news slowly stopped.

Li Si was still seriously ill and unconscious, the court was still depressed, the emperor continued to be anxious every day, and the officials of the three provinces and six ministries were all secretive and unwilling to discuss this topic.

In view of Li Si's illness, the emperor arranged for the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor to come to Li Si for diagnosis and treatment almost every day, and all kinds of precious medicines were sent into Li Xiang's mansion in large carts, and at the same time, he constantly convened the princes and princes and ministers to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures, and urgently needed to solve the various problems left by Li Si's serious illness.

Gradually, a gossip from an unknown source began to circulate among the people, or the people's ardent expectation that the Marquis of Qinghe would replace Li Si as the left minister.

This news suddenly made the mood of the businessmen and the people soar, and the voice of the discussion gradually expanded, and even officials above the court participated in it.

In the past few days, Chen Xu still did not go to the court, and after personally going to Li Si's mansion to visit the seriously ill Li Si, he began to prepare manpower and tools.

On July 9, the autumn weather was crisp and the weather was fine.

Chen Xu prepared everything properly.

A total of twenty tall and well-armed guards, Yingbu was also invited to the palace as the most powerful assistant, and he also brought more than a dozen equally strong guards, rope hooks, swords, bows, crossbows, food and dry food, etc., and dozens of horses were also neatly packed, everything was tied to the horse's back and ready to set off.

In the bedroom, Chen Xu also dressed under the personal service of Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan, tied his belt, hung grenades and muskets, and put on his coat.

"Husband must be careful when you go, the situation in the mountains is treacherous, jackals, tigers and leopards are infested from time to time, if you encounter danger, you must protect yourself......"

Ying Shiyan's eyes were red and she kept admonishing.

The last time I went to Taiyi Mountain in April, the original plan was two days, but it took five days, and when I came back, they were all wounded, and several guards died, looking at Chen Xu and Yingbu and others who were scarred and unkempt like savages, the entire Hou Mansion was panicked to the point of almost collapsing collectively, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan hugged Chen Xu and cried for a night and were unwilling to let go, so for Chen Xu to enter the mountain again, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan did not dare to stop it, but they were even more worried.

"Don't worry, lady, this time I am well prepared, there is no risk of flash floods in the mountains in autumn, there will be no more danger, you will wait at home for two or three days, we will return safely!" After Chen Xu was dressed neatly, he hugged his two wives and comforted him softly.

"Husband, you must take care!" Meng Wan's tears rolled down her smooth little face.

"Well, don't worry......"

"Gott~"

Just as Chen Xu was speaking, Ying Shiyan, who was holding Chen Xu's arm, suddenly bent down and retched, and then bent down with an ugly face.

"My sister is sick?" Meng Wan hurriedly stepped forward to help Ying Shiyan.

"The lady is unwell, sit down and rest for the time being!" Chen Xu also helped Ying Shiyan to sit on the couch, and then instructed Chunxiang Qiuxiang to prepare hot water.

"Don't be nervous, husband, Shi Yan has been feeling nauseous in recent days, and sometimes she will retch, I think I have eaten too much...... Eating too much ice powder and popsicles chills your stomach! Ying Shiyan lowered her head with slightly red cheeks and said.

"It's been like this for the last few days?" Chen Xu frowned and turned around and ordered: "Quickly arrange for someone to go to the health center to summon Imperial Doctor Xu to come and treat Mrs. Xu!" ”

"There is no need to ask Imperial Doctor Xu, Shi Yan is only slightly tired and retching on weekdays, and there are no other symptoms, just rest a little, and the husband should set off as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time!" Ying Shiyan hurriedly said.

"Hehe, the lady has to be ready, I'm afraid I'm going to add more words to the Chen family!" Chen Xu smiled and held Ying Shiyan's hand and said.

"Huh!?" Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan covered their mouths almost at the same time, and after staying for a long time, Meng Wan came back to her senses, hugged Ying Shiyan's arm and said excitedly: "It turns out ...... It turns out that my sister is pregnant! ”

Ying Shiyan only felt that her mind was blank, and then her hand touched her lower abdomen from her chest and cried with joy, "Husband didn't lie to me, I am really pregnant?" ”

"Lady, don't be sad, happy and sad, according to the lady, there is a chance that this matter will be nine times out of ten, you lie down and rest first, and when Imperial Doctor Xu arrives, everything will be clear, come on, serve Mrs. well!"

In the room, the four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter suddenly rushed up excitedly, helping Ying Shiyan to lie down slowly, covering the quilt, taking off the shoes, and serving hot water, the room was suddenly busy.

After arranging for Ying Shiyan to lie down, Chen Xu asked people to inform the people in the outer courtyard who were ready to leave for the mountain to dissolve first, Ying Shiyan may be pregnant, so the matter of entering the mountain will have to be delayed for a few more days.

Half an hour later, Xu Fu hurried over in the carriage of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, entered Chen Xu's bedroom in the backyard, and personally observed and inquired about the situation for Ying Shiyan's pulse, and then stood up with a happy face to congratulate Chen Xu: "As expected by the Hou Ye, the fifth princess is really pregnant, congratulations!" ”

"Hahahaha~" Chen Xu was overjoyed with excitement, and shook Xu Fu's hand happily, "Okay, okay, come on, go and get a consultation fee of 10,000 yuan for Dr. Xu!" ”

Xu Fu's back molars were suddenly exposed, and he said excitedly: "Do you want Fu to diagnose the third lady, maybe she is also pregnant!" ”

Meng Wan's little face blushed and stretched out her right hand expectantly.

Chen Xu hurriedly sent Xu Fu out of the room with black lines on his head.

The fifth princess is pregnant, which is a great event.

Not only did the Hou Mansion celebrate in an instant, but the First Emperor who got the news was also very happy, and finally got a piece of news that made him feel comfortable from the busy government affairs after Li Si became seriously ill, and specially took Concubine Yun to visit his daughter in the Qinghe Courtyard under the protection of thousands of forbidden troops and Xuanwu Wei.

And the pregnancy of the fifth princess has immediately become a matter of heated discussion among the people of Xianyang, and they are speculating whether the fifth princess will give birth to a daughter or a son in the future, if it is a son, he will be born as a marquis, and he will inherit the title of Marquis of Jingyang, becoming the youngest marquis in history.

And if it is a daughter, who will this daughter marry in the future, once she marries the daughter of the Marquis of Qinghe, this relationship is enough to ensure that a family will be glorified for all generations, inherit the bloodline of the disciples of the immortal family, and even be more enviable and noble than the royal family.

Perhaps, the daughter of the Marquis of Qinghe will only marry a certain emperor in the future, and this emperor grandson will definitely inherit the future throne of Great Qin and become the emperor.

Therefore, in this kind of folk gossip speculation, the seriously ill Li Si began to slowly fade into oblivion, and there was a lot less to talk about.

Ying Shiyan's pregnancy disrupted Chen Xu's arrangement, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to the house to congratulate him every day, and Chen Xu also arranged for someone to go back to Xiaohe Village to report the good news to his parents.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the time flickered to the end of July.

Chen Xu finally calmed down and gathered people to prepare to enter the mountain again.

Yingbu also came to help with more than a dozen guards, plus twenty guards in the house, dozens of horses were tied up neatly again, and Chen Xu also got dressed in the backyard and brought grenades and handcuffs to check ammunition.

But just as Chen Xu was sorting out his equipment, he suddenly heard a commotion from the outer courtyard, and at the same time, there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting, Chen Xu didn't care, thinking that it was a group of guards from Yingbu and the guards in the mansion who were fighting swords and fists.

"Bang dang~~"

The door was suddenly knocked open, and a steward ran in in a panic and shouted: "Master Hou is not good, a female bandit suddenly broke into the courtyard and injured many guards!" ”
