Chapter 379: Lost Soul

(a)

After the painful failure of my first pregnancy after marriage, I fell into a state of total collapse. Not only is his body deteriorating, but his mind is getting more and more trance-like.

I didn't want to say anything, I didn't want to see anyone, I didn't want to participate in any activities, I wasn't interested in anything, I didn't react, even Concubine Wang and the maids around me couldn't recognize me.

I am like a flower whose branches and stems have been cut off by the waist, withering day by day, and the desire to live is also fading day by day.

After this situation lasted for half a month, my mother-in-law was very worried. She finally lost her composure. She wrote letters to Liu Shen and you respectively, and she said in the letters, "You must have someone come back to take care of this matter." If you all continue to fight outside and ignore this, then you will not see me alive when you return.

After she sent the letter, she waited anxiously for news.

One day, two days, three days, the time kept passing, my state was getting worse and worse, I could barely eat anymore, I couldn't understand what others were saying, I was afraid to leave the room, I refused to take even half a step out of the palace gate, I just wanted to stay in the room alone and close all the curtains. I don't light the lamp at night. I just stayed in the dark, doing nothing, saying nothing.

The doctor diagnosed that the physical damage caused by the miscarriage was secondary, mainly due to strong stimulation and excessive grief, resulting in depression that could not be resolved. If you can't untie the knot, if you go on like this, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky.

12 days after my mother-in-law's letter was sent, Liu Shen's people did not come back, but the reply was delivered. He apologized for saying that the Courier had no way to find him because of the fierce battle with the enemy, and the battlefield was tragic and chaotic. When he had read the letter a few days earlier, he was very sad and wanted to come back immediately, but as soon as the war on the southern front was at a critical juncture, if he left the front, the soldiers would think that he was afraid of danger and fled from the battlefield. If the morale of the army is shaken and the morale is lost, I am afraid that this battle will be lost, and he will not be able to leave; Second, because he was tired for days, he was also sick, with a high fever and couldn't get out of bed, so he couldn't travel long distances to come back to see me.

He wrote me another letter, and comforted me in many ways, saying that after he had finished the battle and had a fever, he would come back to see me immediately, and that although the miscarriage was painful, it did not affect fertility, and we would definitely have children. In the letter, Liu Shen asked me to cheer up and be strong, recuperate and wait for him to come back.

After reading her son's letter, Concubine Wang was anxious and disappointed. I was anxious that the war was tight, and my son was so sick, and I was disappointed that I didn't even respond to speaking to my face now, and how could I understand the meaning of his letter.

And you, on the other hand, didn't even reply.

What my mother-in-law didn't know was this: I wasn't deeply depressed because of a miscarriage, but because of a miscarriage.

In a panic, my mother-in-law took our aunt to Yunjing, hoping that I would be relieved to see my mother's relatives.

However, I didn't even recognize my aunt, and I refused to see her again.

The two old men and the group of imperial doctors were helpless, and they were so anxious that they couldn't do anything.

It was at this time that you suddenly returned from the northern front covered in dust.

You took a team of 200 horses and rushed back from thousands of miles away.

(b)

You rushed back from the Yellow Dragon Fortress in less than half of your normal schedule.

You must be in a hurry on the road, running day and night.

You swept into Yunjing like a gust of wind, raising yellow dust all the way through the streets of Yunjing, and heading straight for the palace.

When you entered the city, you didn't even drink a sip of water, so you went straight to see my mother-in-law.

This is the first time in your life that you will enter the capital, and it will also be the last time in your life.

Liu Shen's mother met you for the first time, who was rumored to be a god. When she saw your appearance, she suddenly had a backbone. With tears in her eyes, she told you about my situation these days.

You stand there, listening to her weeping voice, your heart shattered into countless powders.

After Concubine Wang finished speaking, she asked if you have any way.

You take a deep breath. You say, "Please don't worry, Concubine Tai. The minister will go to see Mrs. Jun, and will comfort her for King Han and persuade her, she just values this child too much, and she can't accept it for a while. She's going to be fine, she's going to be strong, and I'll be here for a few days until she wants to go. Concubine Tai, please relax. With the ministers here, Mrs. Jun will not have an accident. The ministers will help the king of Han to protect the good lady. ”

There is a firm confidence in your tone and in your expression.

Concubine Wang involuntarily calmed down. After she settled down, she noticed that your complexion didn't seem to be very good. So, she said, "The general must have been very hard to come back from a long journey." Don't stand here hard, go and take a rest, and then enter the palace to see Qin'er. ”

Say, "You don't need to rest." The minister should go and meet Mrs. Jun first. ”

In the middle of the fierce battle, the messenger finally found Liu Shen on the chaotic and dangerous battlefield.

As a result, Liu Shen saw the report from Yunzhou and the northern line almost at the same time. My mother told him that I had a miscarriage and that I had fallen into a deep depression and a trance because of the miscarriage, and hoped that he would go back to save me immediately; And the military report on the northern front said that you are dying in the Yellow Dragon Fortress, and you hope to see him one last time.

Liu Shen, who was already exhausted and exhausted from state affairs and the war on the southern front, was knocked down by these two bad news at once. He developed a high fever that night. But he is still conscious, and he can't decide whether it's better to stay on the battlefield to boost morale, or to go back to Yunjing to save me, or to go to the northern front to face your death and funeral. He was really anxious when he thought of the drastic turn and all kinds of variables that might happen to the whole battle situation if you died.

The imperial physician accompanying the army tried his best to prevent Liu Shen from going anywhere, and persuaded him to stay in the barracks to recuperate.

Wu Renming also desperately stopped Liu Shen.

Wu Renming kowtowed and advised that now that the outcome of the war was uncertain, if the king of Han left the battlefield for the sake of his wife, it would be difficult for the soldiers of the world to return to their hearts, and it might be considered that they had fled from the battle, resulting in a mountain of defeat.

Wu Renming also advised that if the northern route is far away, and the weather is snowy and the roads are icy, if the general is critically ill, the king of Han may not be able to meet him in time to meet in Huanglong, and if the king of Han goes halfway and stays away from the army of the north and south, it will not be conducive to the king of Han to deal with the emergency situation, it is better for the king of Han to stay in the army of the southern line, at least he can control the overall situation of the territory of the Han land without change.

Wu Renming said that if the king of Han went to the northern front with illness and fell ill halfway, the war situation on both the northern and southern fronts might be chaotic because of the sudden loss of the commander, and the country would be in danger.

When Liu Shen heard this, he felt that he was reasonable, and because of the fever, he was indeed weak and unable to move, so he delayed for a night.

As a result, at dawn the next day, a new urgent military report came from the northern front again, and Liu Shen learned the news that the new subject country had returned to Shun and that you had turned the corner. A big stone on Liu Shen's heart suddenly fell to the ground. The whole person was in good spirits, and the burn subsided.

After another day, he was able to move freely, and he was worried about my situation again, thinking about whether to go back to Yunjing and when it was better to go.

He carefully read his mother's letter again, and found a new detail: Mother had written to you at the same time.

His heart chuckled. He sat there with his mother's letter.

He sat there for a long time. Then, he finally decided not to return to Yunjing.

He wrote letters to my mother and me, and sent a messenger to send them back. Watching the messenger Pegasus leave the barracks, he took up the pen and wrote to you on the northern front. He said that he had planned to leave the southern front immediately to see you, but before he left, he received a new military report, and he was very relieved to know that you were out of danger. But he still doesn't feel at ease, and when the war here is over, he will go to Huanglong to see you. He told you everything about my illness.

He said, "After the wedding, you and I have never met, and we haven't heard much from each other. Qin'er's stagnation is far from the beginning of the day of small production, but the accumulation of a long time from this one outlet.

He said that to untie the knot in her heart, there is no one more suitable than you. If your body is able to support it, you must be able to solve the problem more than if he goes back. After all, you and I have lived under the same roof for so long and know me better. Therefore, he entrusted you with a trip back to Yunjing to comfort me and help me recover physically and mentally.
