On the afternoon of March 9, Yu Qiuhei returned to his home in Kuroda Castle. Many of the children were playing in the courtyard, and Yu Qiucen and a few little girls seemed to run to Sanada Masayuki's house to play with his little child who was just a few months old - Yu Qiuping knew that it was Sanada Nobuyuki in the future.

He sat on a stone bench and smiled as a dozen children played among the flowers not far away. Before I knew it, it was getting darker. An inexplicable sadness suddenly surged in his heart, and this sadness came so violently that he was almost out of breath, only to feel that his heart was empty, and his head was a little disobedient, and he couldn't lift his spirits at all.

He settled down and tried to trace the source of this sadness, only to find that the children had been called back to dinner by Jing Yi Naoto, and the courtyard that was still lively just now was empty. Ryuko and Honda Tadakatsu, who had followed him back, had already been sent to the castle tower by Yu Akihei, and no one noticed that their Royal Highness Momiji had been sitting here alone for so long.

If I die right here... What will happen?

Yu Qiuping suddenly had such a thought in his heart - an impulse to commit suicide. He suddenly wanted to die here, not have to think about anything, and leave this world forever. He didn't know why he suddenly had such thoughts, he had been fine before, how could he want to kill himself when he saw the children playing for a while? But the impulse came so violently that his right hand completely ignored the control of his brain, and trembled and touched the rib in his arms.

"No..."Yu Qiuping kept roaring in his heart, but his right hand still kept trembling and holding the ribs. The next moment, it was as if he was about to pull out his ribs, and then wipe his neck or stab himself in the stomach.

However, this rib is unusually stubborn. Yu Qiuping's right hand was pulled out for a long time, but he didn't pull it out. It seems that Sena Shijun has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't want to see Yu Qiuping leave like this. It was also during this time that Yu Qiuping felt that reason was gradually returning to his body, and the resistance of his right hand gradually slowed down. Gradually, he regained his composure, and indifferently pulled out his ribs from his bosom, and looked at its whiteness by the moonlight.

Speaking of which, he really has never pulled out this rib. When he first arrived at Oda's house, he wanted to pull out the rib gap in the secret room and stab Oda Nobunaga directly, but he couldn't pull it out - the rib gap was too tight. For so many years, he has never had a good time appreciating this rib, but he has always kept him close to him, and whenever his belief in revenge is shaken, he relies on its coldness to strengthen his will.

I haven't pulled it out and wiped it for so long, and the ribs may have rusted.

Yu Qiuping held this thought, and held the handle of the rib with his left hand, trying to pull it out with all his might. However, just a second before he exerted his strength, the voice of Kaede Imagawa suddenly came from behind him.

"Ping? What are you doing here? ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, and looked back. Kaede Imagawa is wearing a light blue kimono, and the graceful curves of her body are vividly outlined. Her face was a little strange, and she was looking at Yu Qiuping with some surprise.

Yu Qiuping quickly put the ribs back into his arms, barely squeezed out a smile on his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I'm thinking about things." ”

The suspicion on Imagawa Kaede's face has not faded, and his clear eyes seem to have the ability to penetrate Yu Qiuping's heart. Yu Qiuping didn't dare to look directly at her world-shattering face, and lowered her head a little weakly, staggering her gaze.

I haven't told her about that thing — the fact that I wanted to blow up Sumamata Castle and kill Oda Nobunaga, and then involve Mino Owari in the war, and that great rebellion that would kill countless people. Where do I have the face to talk to her?

In the next second, a burst of warmth suddenly came from the cold palm. Yu Qiuping raised his head in surprise and found that Kaede Imagawa was smiling warmly and took his hand.

"I'm back for dinner," Kaede Imagawa whispered, "The rice is going to be cold." ”

·

Throughout the dinner, Yu Qiuping ate very awkwardly. He knew that Kaede Imagawa had sensed his abnormality, so he tried to behave normally to reassure her. But the more he tried to behave normally, the more abnormal he became. He has always been humorous on weekdays, and he tries his best to tell a few jokes to make everyone happy, but the jokes he tells are colder than the other. The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became awkward, Yu Qiuyou and Yu Qiucen both looked ignorant, whispering that their father's jokes were not funny at all. Yu Qiuping tried to enjoy Yu Qiuping a few times after he finished telling each joke, but this action looked particularly distressing in Yu Qiuping's eyes.

"Daddy feels so weird today!" Yu Qiucen held a small bowl and muttered in a low voice, "It just feels weird." ”

"Cen Er, Dad is tired today." Imagawa Kaede whispered quickly before Yu Qiuping opened his mouth to explain, and then rubbed Yu Qiucen's little head and helped her cut her hair, "Cen Er obediently finishes eating, don't be picky." ”

After eating, Ryuko came in to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Yu Qiuping got up silently and walked to the corridor on the third floor of the castle tower, put up a fence, and looked out. However, when he looked down at the ground six or seven meters away from him, his whole body suddenly began to twitch violently again, and the urge to jump from the third floor immediately made it difficult for him to resist again. It wasn't that he hadn't had such an impulse before, but it wasn't strong, and he didn't take it to heart. However, after the incident where he tried to pull out the rib difference, he suddenly began to get nervous at this moment.

What was left of his body sanity caused him to squat down in a hurry, and sat on the ground with his back against the wooden guardrail, gasping for air. He suppressed the terrible urge by holding his ankles with both hands, making it less easy for him to stand up.

However, at this moment, Imagawa Kaede suddenly opened the door of the room and walked out—just in time to see Yu Qiuping leaning against the fence with a hideous face. She was taken aback, hurriedly ran towards him, and then squatted down in front of him, looking at Yu Qiuping very nervously.

"Ping? What happened to you? What is this doing! Kaede Imagawa asked in a low voice with some horror.

"I..." Yu Qiuping laughed awkwardly twice, glanced at his posture, and teased in a somewhat strange tone: "I'm sitting on the breaststroke legs." ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kaede Imagawa muttered because of Yu Qiuping's strange pronunciation, "Have you been under too much pressure lately, I think you've been very strange for the past few months." ”

"Huh? Have it? Yu Qiuping panicked and asked tentatively.

"Yes..."Kaede Imagawa pursed his lips and blinked slightly, as if he wanted to recall something. After a moment, she muttered with some uncertainty, "It seems that after the construction of the castle by Sumama... You've been getting weird. ”

"Clams?" Yu Qiuping chuckled again in his heart, and sweat was slightly dripping from his forehead.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Imagawa Kaede seemed to suddenly feel something, and as soon as his little head tilted, he pressed his body against Yu Qiuping's body, and looked at Yu Qiuping's expression from a close distance. Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and staggered his gaze again in some embarrassment, not daring to look directly into Imagawa Kaede's eyes.

I promised her... There is something that will not be hidden from her anymore. You must no longer lock yourself up and suffer alone, leaving her at a loss. I've always done what I said, haven't I? Back then, at the Imagawa family, I broke up with her for the sake of being alone to bear the pain, and how much sadness and distress it brought her, don't you remember?

Isn't it time to tell her about her plans.

Because the plan will be executed sooner or later, Feng'er will know sooner or later. There is no point in hiding it from her like this, it is just the cowardice of the turtle with a shrunken head, and when it comes to rebellion, it will only make things worse and make Feng'er even more sad.

There's no need to hide it from her.

Tell her that even if she scolds me or beats me, she has to talk about it anyway.

Yu Qiuping gritted his teeth, turned around, and was about to speak, but a flush suddenly appeared on Imagawa Kaede's face.

She used her soft little hand to take Yu Qiuping's hand and quietly pressed it on her stomach.

"Isn't it that I haven't been with you lately... You're so weird. Imagawa Kaede's face was slightly drunk, and he said softly: "Have you been hiding from me to find other women outside recently, but I heard the rumors that you are hiding Jiaojiao in the golden house of Sumamata Castle." ”

"Just... Not really! Yu Qiuping's face was also red, but he didn't expect Imagawa Kaede to suddenly say this, interrupting his original thoughts. How could I be out looking for a woman! He protested loudly with some resentment, and at the same time came back to his senses - he had indeed not had sex with Kaede Imagawa for more than ten days.

"Well, I've got good news for you." Imagawa Kaede straightened up slightly, and his waist-length hair swayed slightly in the evening breeze. She stretched out a finger and scratched the tip of Yu Qiuping's nose slightly, her eyes lowered, and she whispered a little shyly: "The reason why I haven't been with you for more than ten days..."

"It's because I seem to be pregnant." She spit out this sentence quickly, and then she bent down all of a sudden, got into Yu Qiuping's arms, wrapped her hands around Yu Qiuping's neck, and kept rubbing around his neck like a child. "We're going to have a new member in our family!"

"Really?" Yu Qiuping was also stunned, and then smiled with some joy: "Are you sure?" ”

"That's right." Imagawa Kaede whispered in Yu Qiuping's ear, "I haven't been here for more than a month, and I've also been to see Langzhong today... Lang Zhong said that it was very likely that there was. ”

"Really! That's great! Yu Qiuping was excited all of a sudden, and hugged Imagawa Kaede in his arms tightly, "This time I plan to give birth to a little girl or a stinky boy!" ”

"You deceitful liar." Imagawa Kaede muttered, but also laughed happily in Yu Qiuping's arms, feeling Yu Qiuping's powerful heartbeat. However, she couldn't see it when she was shrunk in Yu Qiuping's arms, and although Yu Qiuping's laughter did not stop, the expression on her face suddenly became more sad and hesitant.

Kaede is pregnant...

There's going to be a new member in the family again.

It's a little baby who hasn't been born yet.

Is it necessary for him to live in the flames of war the moment he is born? Is it going to tell her that her husband is going to rebel when Kaede is pregnant, when she needs someone to accompany her the most, and when she needs to be taken care of the most, and she will immediately involve Owari Mino in the war, displacing hundreds of people and dying.

Tell her that her husband is about to let the child play freely in the courtyard with his own hands, and the peaceful time is gone?

What the hell am I going to do.

Things were too annoying, Yu Qiuping didn't want to think about it, but just hugged Imagawa Kaede into his arms.

"Ping! What are you doing! Kaede Imagawa snorted in surprise, "This is in the corridor!" ”
