Fan Shenxi sensed Qiu Xiaobei's gaze, looked at her, and smiled at her quite comfortably, she seemed to helplessly reach out and grab the back of the wheelchair, lowered her head and whispered: "I have never seen your husband so clingy to his wife." ”

Yo he, I was finally able to fight back this sentence.

Fan Shen smiled, looking harmless, but his hand pressed the back of her neck very quickly, so that she couldn't continue to maintain the posture of bending over against him: "My wife has a sweet voice and a delicate body, and she is pregnant with my child, I don't stick to you, who do I stick?" ”

What kind of voice is sweet, he said such sexy words into her ear like this, it's the most terrible, right?

And why is this girl so thick-skinned?

Eleven soon brought a pair of crutches, not just two wooden sticks, but two with sharp edges and very delicate corners, and it seemed that they were probably more than just crutches.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible to make such two crutches, unless they have been prepared in advance for a rainy day.

Fan Shenxi put the crutches under his armpits and stood up with the strength of his arms, his feet hung weakly, and he stood with two crutches, but the robe hung down to the ground, and he couldn't see his legs.

And this is the first time Qiu Xiaobei has seen him stand up, and he actually ...... More than a head taller than her, she was only up to his shoulders and maybe even a little closer.

No wonder when he usually sits at the same height, he can be half a head taller than her.

But Qiu Xiaobei was not surprised by this situation at all, but stood close to him for the first time, she believed in his ability, but she still couldn't help but want to protect him by his side, there was really a case that she would be the first to support him.

Everything was ready, and when it was about to be eleven first, the fruit farmers who were blocked rushed over and stopped them, and at the same time, Gonggong Ke actually rushed over, and it is estimated that when Qiu Xiaobei chose to take the path that led to this side, someone had already secretly informed Gonggong Ke.

"Your Highness, you can't go up."

Fan Shenxi smiled: "Why is this? ”

Even if he is on crutches, it does not affect his demeanor.

Gonggong Ke gritted his teeth, and finally said: "This is the order personally given by Marshal Ling, that is, your mother. ”

"The Queen Mother?" Fan Shenxi raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Yes, Your Highness, the old slave can agree to any of your requests, but this is the only thing that the old slave resolutely cannot agree, if you really want to go up, unless you step on the old slave."

"Is it only the main palace that can't do it, or is it not possible for anyone?"

"Anyone."

Fan Shenxi looked at the stone slabs one by one, and said almost with certainty: "If the queen mother really doesn't want anyone to go up, this organ should be destroyed, but if she stays and has people guard here, it means that under certain conditions, it can go up, right?" ”

Gonggong Ke nodded: "Yes, in fact, the queen still hopes that Your Highness will go up, but you must meet one condition." ”

"What conditions?" Qiu Xiaobei asked.

"It must be you, Your Highness, when you have an heir."

Fan Shenxi: "......"

Qiu Xiaobei: "......"

Two Shadow Guards: "......"

The henchman who knows some inside information: "......"

Qiu Xiaobei tilted his head towards Fan Shenxi: "We, didn't we talk to him, about pregnancy?" ”

Fan Shenxi said calmly: "I didn't say it." ”

On the first day he came, Qiu Xiaobei was dressed in a eunuch suit, who would have thought that a man would get pregnant? Although she wore women's clothes one night, they didn't think that he, His Highness, or this eunuch, had any strange habits, even if she really regarded her as a woman, she would not think of being pregnant for no reason.

"Ahem," Qiu Xiaobei asked Gonggong Ke a little embarrassed, "Is there a rule on how old His Highness's heir should be?" ”

Gonggong Ke was stunned, and probably didn't think about this question: "The marshal didn't say it at the time. ”

"That is, as long as you have it, it will be okay?"

Gonggong Ke hesitated: "It should be, right?" ”

Qiu Xiaobei relaxed, smiled and patted her chest: "That's good, that's good," otherwise she really wouldn't be able to give birth for a while.

Gonggong Ke didn't know why, so Eleven, who pretended to be a guard, asked, "Do you have anyone who understands medical skills?" ”

Gonggong Ke bent down to give a blessing: "The old slave is a little better." ”

If you want to be a chief eunuch, you really can't do it without any skills, Qiu Xiaobei thought, Gonggong Li is also a little skilled in medicine, and it was Gonggong Li who first thought that she was interested in appearance, so he invited Lin Ziyi to be diagnosed.

Or, this is what Queen Ling deliberately cultivated, Fan Shenxi was young and worried, if it weren't for Gonggong Li who understood so much medical theory and stopped a lot of problematic things, I was afraid that Fan Shenxi's situation would be even worse.

But Queen Ling can't have the art of divination, can she predict what will happen to her son after her death, right?

Qiu Xiaobei took a step forward and consciously put a handkerchief on his wrist: "Gonggong Ke, can you diagnose my pulse?" ”

Gonggong Ke stepped forward for some reason, and with Fan Shenxi's obvious permission, he put his finger on Qiu Xiaobei's wrist, and after a while, his old eyes that were squinted in surprise opened: "This, this seems to be joy, joy?" ”

Ximai is still very recognizable, not to mention that Qiu Xiaobei has been around for four months, it is already obvious, I have seen her women's clothes, it is not so unacceptable, the question is: "This, this is Your Highness, your ......"

He was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

"Presumptuous," Fan Shenxi hit the ground with a cane, "The child conceived by the woman of this palace is not from this palace, can it still be yours?" ”

Fan Shenxi has always been polite to Gonggong Ke and others, and rarely shows his authority like this, Gonggong Ke hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the old slave doesn't mean this, the old slave is just too ......."

Gonggong Ke paused, and finally realized what had happened, he looked at Qiu Xiaobei in shock and joy, and his old eyes were moist: "Your Highness, you, do you have a queen?" Do you finally have a queen? Eh, why didn't you tell the old slave about such a big thing earlier? Thinking of this, he was also a little confused, "Why hasn't the old slave heard of it?" ”

Fan Shenxi smiled lightly: "What do you think would happen to the children of this palace if you let those people know that this palace has children?" Naturally, I waited for the child to be born. ”

"Yes, yes, you did the right thing, the old slave was so surprised, I forgot about it." Gonggong Ke looked at Qiu Xiaobei with tears and a smile as he spoke, and his eyes were like Qiu Xiaobei's rare treasures, and Qiu Xiaobei was shocked.

This, how can this Gonggong Ke be like a grandfather who finally hugged his grandson?

Fan Shen coughed heavily, and Gonggong Ke reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"Now, can you go up to the palace and have a look?" He glanced at the towering mountain wall.

"Naturally, it's okay, if I had known that you already had an heir, don't talk about going up, the old slave would have brought you here a long time ago."

In fact, Fan Shenxi was also puzzled: "Why do you have to wait until the palace has an heir before you can come here?" ”

Before that, there was no rumor at all, if it weren't for the fact that what happened recently was really weird, Qiu Xiaobei seemed to have been told what to find here, and even he didn't notice it, which shows how well he hid.

"This ......," Gonggong Ke hesitated, "what the queen said back then, the old slave didn't dare to state. ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say, this palace forgives you for your innocence."

Gonggong Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The queen said, Your Royal Highness, you are naturally angry than ordinary people, lack of empathy, if she leaves, you will definitely be devastated by all forces, I am afraid that this anger will make you don't know how much innocent blood you will be contaminated, she is afraid that you will get these things she left behind, will, will ......"

"Say."

Gonggong Ke lowered his head: "There will be a lot of life, and blood will flow like a river." ”

After a pause, Gonggong Ke endured the fear of His Royal Highness and said: "The old slave doesn't fully understand what the queen means, and if you know what she says, the old slave will do it." ”

"What does this have to do with the fact that this palace has an heir?"

"The queen mother said, with your temperament, I am afraid that you will not marry a wife easily, even if you are forced to marry by the Queen Mother, the woman is better like a decoration, if you accidentally commit it in your hands, I don't know what it is, if one day, there is a woman who can give birth to you, you have to take care of her everywhere, then, you must have feelings for her, the queen mother said, once people have someone they want to protect and cherish, they must know love in their hearts, then they will have more nostalgia for this world, and they will not easily want to destroy, and they will definitely have scruples. Even if it is not for yourself, for the sake of your children, there will be less blood to protect it, because you are a father and a husband. ”

After Gonggong Ke finished speaking, he knelt down: "Your Highness, what the old slave said was all what the queen said back then, and every sentence came from the mouth of the queen's mother, and the old slave didn't add a word." ”

Fan Shenxi's heart shook slightly.

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu.

It is not unreasonable for a person like Fan Shenxi to be able to keep thinking about Ling Jinge, who died early, and to have feelings for this queen mother.

Qiu Xiaobei even sighed, from a person's temperament when he was a child to the long-term future, and make arrangements, her mother-in-law is really a strange woman in the key texts, no wonder she can command the three armies as a woman.

But in this way, Qiu Xiaobei is even more puzzled, how could such a woman go at a young age, jealous of talent?

She looked at Fan Shenxi, thinking that if her mother-in-law lived a few more years, would Fan Shenxi's childhood life be much better?

Feeling her gaze, Fan Shenxi looked at her, although his face was pale and he didn't have much expression, but the concentration in his eyes confirmed Ling Jinge's words.

He retracted his gaze and said to Ke Gong: "You get up, I've been guarding you all these years, I've worked hard for you." ”

"How hard will it be, the queen mother has prepared everything, even if someone has indeed sneaked into the courtyard, but what can she find, but Her Royal Highness is in the palace...... It's hard work. ”

Fan Shenxi didn't say anything about this matter, he turned to the mountain wall with his crutches: "What's up there?"

"This ...... The old slave didn't know, the queen said that you need to find it yourself, which is a test for you. ”

Fan Shenxi didn't ask any more: "Go up." ”

Gonggong Ke looked at Qiu Xiaobei: "You naturally want to go up, but Master Bei is pregnant, isn't it good?" ”

"I've got to go up." Qiu Xiaobei was afraid of being left behind, so he grabbed Fan Shenxi's arm.

It's not that she insists on following regardless of her physical condition, but if the armor general is on top, then she is the only one who can see these souls, how can she, the "translator", not follow.

Fan Shen thought for a while, and said, "She is more reassuring to the palace by her side. ”

Gonggong Ke couldn't say anything more, and Qiu Xiaobei raised his eyebrows in victory.

However, when she was about to set off, she found that the width of the stone slab was not enough for two people to go up together, especially if one of them was still on crutches.

Eleven first boarded the slate, Qiu Xiaobei wanted Fan Shenxi to go first, but even if he had already married in the church, when Fan Shenxi's eyes sank, she still went up the second one in fear, Fan Shenxi was behind her, holding a cane to board Qiu Xiaobei had just stepped on the vacant slate, behind Fan Shenxi, followed by another shadow guard, Qiu Xiaobei who went first looked back and was a little relieved.

The first few slabs are quite smooth, the difficulty is difficult, as the higher and higher the climb, the size of the slate is the same, but you will feel that the slate has become smaller, always feel that you will fall down if you are a little crooked, the wind is a little stronger, so you nervously break the stone wall, stop and dare not take another step.

The shadow guards have light skills, even if Fan Shenxi's feet are inconvenient, she also has an extraordinary internal force to support her, but her soul is out of the world, and she is also a physical body, there is no gorgeous light work, there is no thick-walled internal force, she found that she was afraid of heights, her eyes blinked, and she didn't dare to look down, but the more she didn't dare to look, the more itchy her heart seemed to be urging her to look down.

This is probably the root of human inferiority, the more you shout not to do anything, the more you can't help it.

"Why did you think of this?"

Fan Shen's voice came from behind him.

Qiu Xiaobei's heart suddenly sudden, and he didn't care about whether to look down or not, and thought of the reason: "I, I'm curious, this mechanism is so exquisite, it can't be just to hide so many stone slabs, right?" ”

"I'm asking you why you came to this place."

Qiu Xiaobei's brain turned quickly, and he continued to look sloppy: "It's, it's just curious, haha, maybe it's fate, my mother-in-law likes me as a daughter-in-law, and she is calling me to bring you here." ”

Fan Shenxi sneered: "I haven't seen this, you know that the queen mother will like you?" ”

"That's necessary, where can she find a good daughter-in-law like me, don't worry about me."

"I'm not ashamed."

"Hmph, do you still hope that your mother-in-law doesn't like me and finds you another wife?"

Fan Shenxi said: "That's not it, the queen mother hates men to abandon their wives the most, or they have three wives and four concubines." ”

"Who did you say was the wife of the chaff?"

Fan Shen sighed twice, so angry that Qiu Xiaobei went up several stone steps in one go, and when the top eleven stopped, she realized where she was at the moment, and the fear of standing on the edge of the high place hit again.

Therefore, Fan Shenxi talked to her in order to divert her attention and asked questions that would make her weak heart and require her to use her brain quickly?

It can be seen from here that he didn't see her problem with many things, but he never said it, and rarely really asked.

Qiu Xiaobei sighed in her heart, if she could, she didn't want to hide anything from him.

"What's the situation?" Fan Shenxi asked the eleventh who took the lead,

Eleven said: "Your Highness, there is no stone slab to go up, and there is no platform to stand on here." ”

To be precise, the stone slab is up, the stone wall is still a stone wall, except that it is so steep that it is almost upright, there is no other find, stepping on so many stone slabs into this mid-air, as if just to come up to see the scenery.

"Take a good look, there must be some other mechanism." Fan analyzed calmly.

Among the four people, he should have "walked" the hardest, and it could not be heard from his voice: "The previous vines were arranged according to the formation of the Suzaku Tail, you can see if there is anything in common." ”

Qiu Xiaobei grabbed the raised stones on the stone wall, her face was a little pale, and her neck was so stiff that she didn't dare to move at all, but she was very worried about Fan Shenxi's situation, so she slowly turned her head little by little to look back, and saw him standing firmly on the stone slab behind her with two crutches, except for a little sweat on his forehead because of the force, as if he was standing on flat ground.

When he saw Qiu Xiaobei turn around, he smiled slightly: "Madam? ”

Qiu Xiaobei pursed his lips, turned his head, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and began to move his neck up and left to right, and even had to go down slightly to observe the stone wall.

How to say...... I can't let my mother-in-law disappoint herself, the armor general is here, maybe she is also there?

She tried to remember the last place in her dream where the ghost soldiers had last disappeared, as if it were—"There, Eleven, do you see if there's a problem there?" ”

She pointed to a place, which was not very far from the stone slab where Eleven was, so he reached out and touched it, and took out a knife and knocked it, but the stones on it were all real, and some cracks looked fine.

"Dig up that stone." Fan Shen let out a loud voice, and raised his chin to a certain place, which was the edge of the area that Qiu Xiaobei was referring to, and he had to squat down and stretch his hand down as much as possible to get it.

The eleventh art master was bold, and this matter did not seem difficult for him, and he easily picked the stone.

"And that piece."

This time the ground was stretched horizontally, Eleven stepped on the stone slab, and the other foot stepped out as far as possible to step on a protruding stone, and then stretched out his arm, the whole person leaned outward, seeing Qiu Xiaobei trembling, but Eleven feet were steady, and the task was completed quickly.

The next goal is on Qiu Xiaobei's side, it will be easier for her to come, if it is eleven, he can't reach it no matter how long his hands and feet are, in fact, it is between her and Fan Shenxi, just in case, Fan Shenxi has two empty stone slabs between him and Qiu Xiaobei, so that Qiu Xiaobei can still step back when he is really unstable, so that the two of them will not collide together.

But accidentally fall back a stone slab, and step back with yourself, for people who are afraid of heights, the feeling is different, the former accidentally shook it, and the latter is mainly a psychological problem.

"I'll do it." Fan Shen said.

"No, you can't move." Qiu Xiaobei shouted anxiously, for fear that Fan Shenxi would really do it himself, his feet were weak, the two crutches could lift any of them, and the other could not be stable, climb the stone slab up and down, and move it faster, it was okay to make one of them high, the difficulty was not one or two points, Fan Shenxi had the ability to do it, Qiu Xiaobei was not at ease.

"You ......"

"I'm nothing, don't move if you don't move." Qiu Xiaobei was rarely stiff once, shouting so that Fan Shenxi couldn't make a sound, she made a lot of psychological preparations for herself, took a few breaths, and then faced the stone wall, broke the stone crack with both hands, did not look back, stretched out her right foot and leaned back.

Fan Shenxi was a little speechless, the distance behind her foot was sliding on the edge of the stone where she was, far from the stone slab behind her, but when she thought of the fear in her heart at this time, she felt distressed: "Further back, backward...... Further back. ”

Qiu Xiaobei felt that she had stretched out enough, why hadn't she reached the slate, but she believed that Fan Shenxi continued to go back little by little, and finally her toes touched something hard, it should be a slate, and sure enough, she immediately heard Fan Shenxi say: "You go back a little further, otherwise half of your foot will be outside, yes, okay, it's okay." ”

One foot landed, and the other foot was much easier, so, after falling two stone steps, Qiu Xiaobei felt that his hands and feet were weak, and he really wanted to sit down and rest.

Of course, this was impossible, so she just slowed down, and then planned to make persistent efforts in one go, and saw that Eleven had easily completed the task, and she had done most of the day, and she went down two steps.

She stood against the stone wall again, slowly rubbed up, her toes were padded, and her raised hand barely reached the stone that Fan Shenxi said.

"This kid must be like me." Fan Shenxi said.

Qiu Xiaobei was gone, and his attention was shifted again: "It's only been four months now, how do you know that it's like you, maybe like me." ”

"Look at him, after so many hardships and dangers in your stomach, he is still good, such a tenacious vitality, isn't he like me?"

Hearing him say this, it seems that Fan Shenxi has experienced many assassinations and poisons, but he can still live well, and his vitality is not ordinarily strong.

As she spoke, she finally broke off the stone that was embedded in the stone wall and had weeds growing around it.

"Boom—"

The sound like an earthquake sounded again, and the whole mountain also shook, Qiu Xiaobei was so frightened that he clung to the stone wall with both hands, bent his body, closed his eyes and held his breath waiting for the shaking to pass.

But this time the vibration was farther away than the last time, and some stones fell in the vibration, Qiu Xiaobei was so anxious that he shouted: "Shenxi, Shenxi? ”

"I'm fine." The tacit understanding is that as soon as she calls her name, he knows what she is afraid of, not for fear of being hit by a stone, but for fear that he will not even be able to cover himself with a hand.

Qiu Xiaobei was a little relieved to hear that his voice was quite stable, and she herself found that she only felt a stone rubbing her head at the beginning, and then it was gone, she could only feel the wind blowing, even if she didn't open her eyes, she knew that it was Eleven who was protecting her.

After a while, the shaking finally stopped, and even after the aftermath had passed, Qiu Xiaobei was able to open his eyes, and then saw that a large piece of space had been vacated in the area she had pointed out to Eleven just now, and an additional cave had come out.
