Nie Yin sat on the edge of Nie Qingwan's bed, looking at her all the time, as soon as she opened her eyes, Nie Yin cried with joy, immediately sat upright, took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, then lowered her head and shouted softly: "Wanwan." “

Nie Qingwan responded: "Auntie." “

After opening his mouth, he found that his voice was very hoarse, and when he opened his mouth, his throat and eyes were like a burning pain, and as the pain in his throat came out of the nerve endings, the pain in other parts of his body also began to wake up, his scalp hurt, his head hurt, and his whole body seemed to be faintly filled with pain.

She opened her eyes, and then remembered what had happened before.

Qi Yu shot the oil rocket, and the man threw her at the oil rocket, and then it seemed that Yin Xuan pounced.

Yin Xuan......

Nie Qingwan frowned, endured the pain in her neck, tilted her head slightly, and asked Nie Yin, "How is Yin Xuan?" “

Nie Yin paused, his expression was very solemn, and he sighed: "It's not good, but it's not life-threatening, I'm recuperating for the time being, and I haven't woken up yet." “

After Nie Qingwan heard that Yin Xuan's life was not in danger, she didn't care whether he was awake or not, and there was no more follow-up after a sigh.

Nie Yin glanced at her cautiously and said, "Don't blame him. I asked Xifeng afterwards, Xifeng said that the situation at that time was indeed not optimistic, you were in danger, if Yin Xuan didn't take out the Son of Heaven Sword at that time, you might really die on the spot, or it was possible that Yin Xuan promised to exchange the Son of Heaven Sword for you, and he would still be able to keep the Son of Heaven Sword afterwards, he didn't even care about himself in order to save you, this filial piety is very valuable. “

Nie Qingwan said: "I know, auntie, I'm a little thirsty, help me pour a glass of water." “

Nie Yin immediately got up, went to pour a glass of water, carefully helped her up, and fed her to drink.

Nie Qingwan didn't hurt her arms or hands, she could move anywhere, but there was a faint pain everywhere, maybe it was really that this body was too delicate, after experiencing last night's catastrophe, she couldn't bear it, she drank water and lay down again.

Nie Qingwan's neck was pinched out by Qu Shang with deep finger prints, and a large bruise accumulated, but it was not injured, so Nie Zong did not bandage her, because it was inconvenient to talk and eat or even raise her head and bow her head after this place was covered with gauze, Nie Zong prescribed the best and most effective medicine for bruising to Nie Yin, and asked Nie Yin to apply it to Nie Qingwan every two hours. I've already applied it once just now, and Nie Yin won't apply it to her at this time.

Nie Qingwan's scalp was also injured, fortunately, it was not seriously injured, Nie Yin checked Nie Qingwan's hair, it was somewhat damaged, and it was scratched off a lot by that man, fortunately, Nie Qingwan's hair was thick, and it was not a big deal to scratch off a few, but the Empress Dowager Dayin was so insulted and trampled by a man, which made people angry.

Nie Zong scolded the man when he was showing Nie Qingwan's injuries.

Nie Qingwan slowed down after lying down, and then asked again: "How about the casualties of the Da Yin soldiers?" “

Nie Yin said: "It's quite miserable, 120,000 elite soldiers, and now there are only 30,000." “

After Nie Qingwan heard this, she was silent for a while. And then he asked, "Was that man dead or alive last night?" “

Nie Yin said, "I escaped." “

Nie Qingwan asked, "Where are we now?" “

Nie Yin said: "It's still in Fengqiu, but it's better to move the place as soon as possible, Fengqiu country is ruined, and there are not many people left, and the food can last for half a month at most, and there are no more people living here." “

Nie Qingwan asked, "How are Feng Chang and the others injured?" What about Ren Ji? He looked at Nie Yin again: "Where is my aunt injured, is it serious?" “

Nie Yin said: "You don't have to worry about us people, even if we are injured, it doesn't matter, everyone is fine, we just want to recuperate, if there is another group of enemy troops at this time, we really have to bury them all." “

Nie Qingwan said: "There will be no enemy army coming for the time being, we have suffered heavy casualties, and the other party has also suffered heavy casualties, but it is better to be prepared, you go and pass on my order, let Yin De lead 50,000 elite soldiers to come to guard, and let Xia Qian come here to take his life." “

Nie Yin raised his eyebrows: "We're not going back?" “

Nie Qingwan said: "I want to go back, I will come back when I recover from my injury, I still want to walk around and ask about some things." “

Nie Yin asked, "About the man who can use oil rockets?" “

Nie Qingwan nodded: "Well, if my guess is correct, he is related to the Great Yin Imperial Family, this has to wait for Yin De to come, I can only judge after asking." “

Nie Yin said, "I know. “

Nie Qingwan thought about it again, and felt that there was nothing to explain, so she fell asleep, she had no intention of hurting anyone in Fengqiu, but the people of Fengqiu died by themselves, and she couldn't help it.

Since Yin Xuan and the others have led the troops back, it means that those small countries have been taken, and they should have sent a small number of soldiers to garrison there, and Nie Qingwan is not worried that there will be small countries coming from behind to catch up, snatching the credit of the Great Yin soldiers, and then taking these five small countries as their own.

If they don't want to be trampled on by the millions of lions of Da Yin, they will be safe, so no one in those small countries dares to move, as for how to plan, wait for Xia Qian to come and discuss it.

Nie Qingwan let go of her heart, turned her head upside down and fell asleep.

After a sleepless night, full of horror of war and the danger of his life, he relaxed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

It's already night when I wake up again.

I haven't eaten for a day and I'm hungry again.

Nie Yin was still in the room and didn't leave, so she stayed at the head of her bed, and when she saw that she was awake, she immediately went to pour another glass of water and fed her to drink.

After a good night's sleep, Nie Qingwan's spirit was much better, and she felt that her body didn't hurt anymore, but her scalp and neck still hurt.

Nie Qingwan reached out to touch her neck, and Nie Yin immediately grabbed her hand: "Don't touch it, it's medicated." “

Nie Qingwan pouted and said, "I'm hungry." “

Nie Yin smiled and said: "I know that you must be hungry when you wake up, so let the kitchen be prepared early, I'll go and bring it over, my aunt didn't eat it, my aunt will eat with you." “

Nie Qingwan smiled and said okay, Nie Yin went to serve the meal, and then the aunt and nephew sat in the house to eat together, and when the meal Nie Qingwan asked where Ren Ji was, Nie Yin said that he was helping Nie Zong, saying that the military doctor was not enough, Nie Xifeng and Nie Buwei, as well as Chen Wenqi and Yin Tianye, they also went to help in good health.

When Nie Qingwan heard this, she said, "After eating, my aunt also took me to see those soldiers. “

Nie Yin said yes, grabbed some dishes at her, and asked her to eat more, Nie Qingwan ate it, and asked if she had sent someone back to the imperial capital to deliver the decree, and Nie Yin said that she had sent two soldiers back. Nie Qingwan was silent, eating quietly, and after eating, she went to see the wounded soldiers, and by the way, she saw Ren Ji and Nie Xifeng, Nie Buwei and Chen Wen, Yin Tianye and Qi Yu.

After last night, except for Yin Xuan, who didn't know that Qi Yu had received the Queen Mother's holy decree before, and killed her with an oil rocket after she was threatened by that man, everyone else knew.

So no one blames Qi Yu, no one can disobey the Queen Mother's order, and the Queen Mother can have such an order, which shows that the Queen Mother would rather die than let the Son of Heaven Sword fall into the hands of others, which also reflects the Queen Mother's determination to resolutely maintain the Da Yin royal family from the side.

When Yin De led 50,000 elite soldiers to Fengqiu with Xia Qian, and figured out the details and ins and outs of everything, he didn't say a word for a long time, and after seeing the faint bruises on Nie Qingwan's neck that could still be seen clearly after recuperating for many days, he was even more like a fish in his throat, not knowing how to put the emotions in his chest at the moment.

It seems that all his previous speculations about the little queen mother were misunderstandings, a kind of rejection imposed by his personal feelings, in the eyes of the little queen mother, there is no family and interests, only the people and the king.

She knows who she is.

She is not Nie Qingwan, she is not a child of the Nie family, she is the Empress Dowager Dayin.

She represents not a name, but an identity.

Yin De sighed, at this moment, standing in the dilapidated and decadent Fengqiu wasteland where he could still smell the bloody smell in the air, he willingly let go of all his precautions and vigilance against the little queen mother, suspicion and disobedience, and was willing to serve her as the real queen mother.

Two days later, Nie Qingwan consulted with Xia Qian and Yin De, as well as Feng Chang, Nie Xifeng, Nie Buwei, Yin Tianye, Chen Wenqi, Ren Ji and Nie Yin, and moved her temporary address to Nanfengguo.

Then change the Nanfeng Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom and the Jinzhi Kingdom, Yang Kingdom, and Xianguo including Fengqiu to Ding'an County, let Xia Qian draft a new regional map, and plan to settle the people of the six countries, and send the Empress Dowager to the imperial capital, let the Prime Minister Nie Zhuyou select civil officials to come to govern, let the Prime Minister Nie Wujing select military attaches to guard the city, when the Empress Dowager's edict was conveyed to the Jinluan Palace in the imperial capital, the Prime Minister of Civil and Military Affairs immediately acted, at this time, Nie Qingwan and his party had arrived in Nanfeng and lived in the palace of Nanfeng.

Yin Xuan woke up on the third day.

He had been lying down for more than half a month, and it was late July when he woke up.

Nie Zong has been taking care of him day and night, and he also sleeps in his room at night, for fear that he will get up at some point in the middle of the night or have a fever or an emergency at some point, so he doesn't dare to be sloppy at all.

Seeing that he was awake, Nie Zong immediately walked to the head of the bed and asked him, "Are you thirsty, do you want to drink some water?" “

Obviously he was asking, but without waiting for Yin Xuan to answer, he had already started to pour water, and then came over to carefully pick him up and feed him.

Yin Xuan shook his head and asked him, "Wan...... How is the Queen Mother? “

Nie Zong said: "You have recuperated, you have been in a coma for more than half a month, and everyone else has also recovered from your body, but you are still in a coma." “

Yin Xuan didn't seem to care about his body, he lifted the quilt and said as he got out of bed, "I'll go see her." “

He still remembered how she was choked by the man's hair, and his heart ached infinitely when he thought of that scene, he didn't see her intact, he couldn't recuperate at ease, and he was not in the mood to drink water and eat.

Seeing that he was about to get out of bed, Nie Zong hurriedly put the water cup back on the table and came over to stop him: "You just woke up, your body is still very weak, you don't have to rush to see it, you drink some water and eat some food." Grab some strength and look again. “

Yin Xuan didn't do it, his face was pale, he got up staggeringly, ignoring Nie Zong's dissuasion, and insisted on going to Nie Qingwan.

Nie Zong couldn't persuade him, so he had to take him there.

However, I went but didn't see anyone, Nie Qingwan met Xia Qian and the civil and military ministers sent from the imperial capital in the study, there are many things, planning the six countries into a county, how to govern how to settle these people, how to co-ordinate the currency, etc., and in a short period of time, it is also a headache to let these people return to Dayin with peace of mind, and live and work in peace and contentment, so since the temporary relocation of the recuperation place to the palace of Nanfeng Kingdom, Nie Qingwan has not been idle.

Nie Yin and Ren Ji were both serving in the house, Yin De brought five thousand elite soldiers, and also brought more than a dozen imperial doctors, Ren Ji didn't have to go over to help, and after more than half a month of recuperation, his injuries were completely healed, so he returned to Nie Qingwan's side to serve.

Nie Zong said outside the door that Yin Xuan had woken up, and when he wanted to see her, Nie Qingwan was talking to Xia Qian about planning, and when he heard Nie Zong's words, Nie Qingwan stopped and looked towards the door.

Nie Yin said, "I'll go and bring him in." “

Nie Qingwan said, "Let him kneel." “

Nie Yin was stunned, Ren Ji also looked at her in a daze, Xia Qian was also stunned, including several other civil and military officials in the study, they all looked at her with puzzled expressions, they have been here for a few days, of course they know how badly the prince is injured, and they have not woken up, this wake-up, the first thing is to come to see her, the queen mother, even if she is gone, why do you still let the prince kneel?

The officials didn't understand, but they didn't dare to ask more.

Xia Qian frowned, glanced at the Queen Mother's face, swept to the door, and didn't dare to say more.

Nie Yin quickly came back to his senses and looked at Nie Qingwan with a scornful gaze: "He just woke up, his body is still very weak, what should I do if I kneel down again?" “

Ren Ji also said: "The Queen Mother's punishment of kneeling is indeed inappropriate. “

Nie Qingwan stood up, walked to the door, and opened the door herself, Yin Xuan was standing at the door, as soon as the door opened, he raised his head, when he saw her standing at the door, his face was happy, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to open his mouth to say something to her, but she said coldly: "Kneel." “

The light in Yin Xuan's eyes disappeared in an instant. The joy on his face slowly faded, he looked at her with a pale face, looked at her for a long time, and then silently lowered his head, slowly bent his knees, and knelt down at her, kneeling in the middle of the door of the study.

Nie Qingwan looked at him: "Do you know why I asked you to kneel?" “

Yin Xuan paused for a long time, and then said softly: "I shouldn't give the Son of Heaven Sword to others." “

Nie Qingwan said: "If you can't protect the Sword of the Son of Heaven, you are a waste." “

Yin Xuan's head lowered a few more points.

Nie Qingwan said: "You must remember your identity at all times, you are the crown prince of the Great Yin Empire, and your mission is to protect the sword of the Son of Heaven, protect the royal power, and protect the land, once you turn your back on this belief." You are not qualified to be the heir to the throne, you must know that the prince is not the only one, there are many people in the Yin royal family who can be the prince. “

Yin Xuan clasped his hands lightly, his eyes were red, and he said dullly, "I know." “

Nie Qingwan asked, "What are you going to do if the same situation happens next time?" “

Yin Xuan said: "Protecting the Son of Heaven Sword." “

Nie Qingwan said: "I am not raising a child, but an emperor. Your filial piety is commendable, as a mother, you are gratified, but as the queen mother, you are disappointed, do you understand? “

Yin Xuan said in a muffled voice: "Understood." “

Nie Qingwan looked at him again and said, "Kneel, don't get up until night, you will be punished if you do something wrong." “

Nie Yin frowned, Ren Ji frowned, and Nie Zong, who was standing next to Yin Xuan, also frowned, kneeling like this for a day, how could this body stand it, Nie Zong and Nie Yin spoke out at the same time, calling her, but Nie Qingwan swept their eyes coldly, they didn't dare to say anything even if they had a belly, Ren Ji sighed lightly and wanted to persuade, but looking at the posture of the Queen Mother, it was useless to persuade her. Yin Xuan knelt there, his mind was dizzy, weak, thirsty and hungry, but he was neither angry nor resentful, knowing that Nie Yin, Nie Zong and Ren Ji interceding for him would make the Queen Mother unhappy, he said out loud: "I'm fine, I did something wrong." “

But if there was a next time, he would still do it.

He would promise her, it was because he would not allow last night's incident to happen again, he was still young and not strong enough, if he could end his crusade against Nan Linfeng earlier and come back sooner, she would not have suffered last night's suffering.

She is the daughter of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager Dayin, and the most cherished person in his heart, how noble her identity is, but she was so humiliated last night, it is his fault.

What he admitted was not his fault for giving up the Sword of the Son of Heaven, but the fault of being too confident in himself.

He does need to kneel.

Nie Yin, Ren Ji and Nie Zong saw him like this, except for sighing, they really didn't know what to say, Nie Qingwan returned to the study after saying that, she still had something to do, and she didn't have time to spend at the door, Nie Yin and Ren Ji saw that Nie Qingwan went in, and the two of them had to go in too. Nie Zong was by Yin Xuan's side, and he would accompany him as long as he knelt.

Nie Qingwan finished discussing things in the study, let the officials leave, the officials were also busy, this mess had to be done, when she went out of the door of the study, she saw Yin Xuan, even though he was kneeling, everyone still saluted him one by one, slowly retreated from both sides, and went down.

Nie Qingwan didn't care about Yin Xuan, left the study, and went to do something else.

After eating at night and going to bed, Nie Zong came over and said with a heavy face: "The prince fainted again, it's not that I want to say you, he just woke up today, his body is weak enough, he didn't drink a sip of water, he didn't eat a grain of rice, he had to get up to see you, he didn't feel at ease if he didn't see you safe and sound, you were good, I didn't care about his body, just let him kneel for a day, he was only ten years old, if this body can't be raised well, let alone practice martial arts in the future, whether he can live until he grows up is a problem." “

Nie Qingwan was about to go to bed, but she hadn't slept yet, she hadn't taken off her clothes yet, and was about to take a bath, when she heard Nie Zong's words, she paused and said, "I'll go see him." “

Nie Zong said: "He is unconscious, so he has to be fed medicine." “

Nie Qingwan said, "I'll feed it." “

Nie Zong smiled, and immediately led her to Yin Xuan's room where she was recuperating, and when she sat on the edge of Yin Xuan's bed, Nie Zong handed her the medicine bowl that he had prepared a long time ago.

Nie Qingwan raised her eyelids to look at him.

Nie Zong said: "This person's heart is flesh and blood, and he needs to be enveloped by family affection, you are too cold to him today, I see it cold, not to mention him himself, although what you said is right, but the timing is not right, you just want to punish him, and wait for him to recover before punishing, he was enthusiastic and was poured a bucket of cold water by you, or in front of so many ministers, you let him face those ministers behind?" You also said that you raised an emperor, but if you lose face with him like this, will he not hate you when he grows up in the future? “

Seeing Nie Qingwan open her mouth to speak, Nie Zong stopped her: "Don't reason with me, I can't reason with you, I just just think what you did today is wrong." It's true that you are the Empress Dowager of Dayin, but your surname is Nie. “

The last four words made Nie Qingwan want to say something that didn't come out in the end, she understood Nie Zong's worries, and also understood the worries of the Nie family, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger, Yin Xuan is still young, she can hold him, but when he grows up, it is difficult to say whether she can handle it, even if she has the grace of nurturing and supporting him, he can be called the queen He still remembers her kindness, no one knows, so now she has every drop of kindness and care for him. are all bargaining chips for her future life.

Nie Qingwan said, "I know, second uncle." “

Nie Zong said: "It's good to know, you can take care of him tonight, anyway, your body is recovering well, you will act in front of him, if you are tired, the second uncle will treat you again." “

Nie Qingwan was stunned for a moment when she heard him say this, and then she shook her head and smiled, and waved her hand to let Nie Yin leave.

Nie Qingwan took care of him in Yin Xuan's room that night, and when he was sleepy, he went directly to his bed and slept with him, and the next night Yin Xuan had a fever, and Nie Qingwan was busy all night. On the third night, Yin Xuan's fever subsided, but Nie Qingwan tossed for most of the night, exhausted and exhausted, and fell asleep directly next to him.

In the second half of the night, Yin Xuan woke up slowly, at first he felt very hot, kicked the quilt on his body, and was about to turn over, but suddenly touched a person, he was startled, opened his eyes and looked to the side, probably because he was sick and afraid that he would not be able to wake up at night, there was a candle burning at his bedside, and the fire was not big. But it's enough to make sure this person looks like him.

Seeing that the person lying next to him was Nie Qingwan, Yin Xuan was stunned.

He blinked, and blinked, and the man was still there.

He turned his head again and looked at the room, as if it was right, it was the room he saw when he woke up, it should be his room, but why is the Queen Mother here?

Glancing at her blue undershirt, then at her tunic, and then at her shoes on the bed, his eyelids jumped several times, and he looked at her for a long time with his arms half-propped up, and then he smiled at once, after confirming and affirming that she was with him.

He lay back down.

Then he got up with his arms propped up, approached her hair and looked at it, quietly reached out and touched it, and very carefully penetrated her hair, and touched her scalp, and found no scabs, and after not seeing her show an uncomfortable expression, he thought, the hair is good, and the scalp should not hurt anymore.

He lay down again, lifted her chin slightly, and looked at her neck.

Her skin is extremely white, and the slightest trace can be seen, so after more than half a month, those heavy bruises have been cured, but there are still some superficial floating on the snow-white neck, and it will take a few days before there is no trace of lightness.

Yin Xuan has been unconscious since that day, he didn't know what kind of miserable condition her neck was at that time, but thinking of the ruthlessness of the man pinching her neck, it must be very serious.

Yin Xuan's dark eyes sank, he reached out and gently rubbed the shallow marks on her neck with his fingertips, then covered his lips, kissed it, and then reached out to hug her, gently moving her head to his shoulder, he lowered his eyes like that, watching her sleep delicately.

After looking at it for a moment, he leaned down and kissed hers in the face, and slowly, he stared at her lips, almost in fascination.

Wanwan, it turns out that I like you so much.

That night, Yin Xuan finally saw his heart clearly.

When fate comes, no one can escape this catastrophe.
