Walking to the bottom of the city tower of Fengxiang County, the city tower guard will see the token of the king of Guangping and open the door to let him go.

Shen Pearl lifted the curtain from the carriage and looked at it, and saw that the scale of this county seemed to be small, as far as the eye could see, there were very few people on the street, and there were soldiers and soldiers in heavy armor everywhere walking in formation, pretending to be majestic. The colors and styles of the armor are mixed, and some of the soldiers have strange appearances, obviously not from the Central Plains, the little Fengxiang, and it seems to have become a place where heavy troops are gathered. The most eye-catching thing is that among them, the Hui soldiers, all of them are burly, with a majestic face and nose, eagle hook and tiger eyes,—— 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Ye Husuo have arrived in Fengxiang.

Yan Ming rushed to greet him when he heard the news, and when he saw Shen Pearl in the curtain, his expression was excited, and he fell to the ground, his voice trembled a little: "Yan Mou will finally see the princess again, God bless, God bless——"

Li Li smiled, Yan Ming stepped forward, pulled down the guards who were riding the horse for Shen Zhu, and said, "Let Yan ride the horse for the princess." ”

Shen Pearl couldn't help but be embarrassed, let Yan Ming lead the way, and drove towards the place where Su Zong's line was.

Su Zong Xingyuan guarded the palace in Fengxiang County, because Su Zong's royal drive came in person, the county guard Wu Tairu could only vacate the palace in a hurry, so that Su Zong, the harem concubines and the sons and grandsons of the emperor could live in.

Li Jiao helped Shen Pearl to dismount, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go to your majesty to see my father and concubine." "The so-called concubine is the former crown princess Zhang.

As he was talking, he saw a person hurrying to the front, but it was Cheng Yuanzhen, the envoy of the Inner Flying Dragon, who whispered to Li Jiaoyu: "Your Majesty heard that His Highness has returned, Long Yan was furious, and His Highness should go over a little later." Li Lianai took Shen Zhu's hand and said, "That's okay, is the son of the world good?" Cheng Yuanzhen replied with a smile: "Xia Guan was very happy to see His Majesty holding Xiao Shizi with his own hands yesterday and making him laugh. ”

Li Li and Shen Pearl entered the palace under the guidance of Yan Ming, with seven bends and eight turns, and there were few palace maids along the way. Coming to a small courtyard, the palace guards increased significantly. Yan Ming said: "This is a place specially kept by His Majesty for His Royal Highness. Li Jiao saw that although this courtyard was small, it was clean and refreshing, so he placed Shen Pearl to live and said, "I will bring Shi'er to you, you rest first, and I will go to see my father." When Shen Pearl heard about Shi'er, she nodded vigorously again and again, and Li Jiao stroked her sideburns and broken hair slightly dotingly, and walked out.

Because of its simplicity, there are only two palace maids in this room, both of whom are local girls temporarily recruited by the imperial court after Suzong to Fengxiang. The two palace maids were quick with their hands and feet, seeing that Shen Zhuzhu's face was dusty, they were busy serving water and waiting to wash up, helping to sort out their clothes, they had been in the township for a long time, and after being recruited into the palace, there was no full-time education of female officials of the Shangli Bureau, and they were only slightly passed on to the basic etiquette, so they were a little restrained and shy, and they were few words, for fear that one would accidentally say the wrong thing.

As soon as I settled down, I heard the door ring, the breeze was blowing, and a palace beauty walked in with a child in her arms.

Shen Pearl was overjoyed, took three steps and made two steps, and greeted him.

The palace beauty bowed down with tears in her eyes and called, "Miss! "It's plain porcelain.

Shen Pearl hugged her and Li Shi into her arms, and Su Ci cried: "Miss, you are finally back, Su Ci thinks you are so hard!" As he spoke, he handed Li Shi to her, wiped his tears, and teased Li Shi's face with his fingers with a smile, "Shi'er, Shi'er, look who is back." "Shen Pearl took her son into her arms. On the day of parting, he was less than a month, only like a little cat in her arms, now he is over half a year old, his body is much larger, his face and legs are fat and strong, and the eyes of Shen Pearl are even more expressive, and he does not cry when he sees Shen Pearl, and babbles in his mouth. Shen Pearl was overjoyed in her heart, and only hugged him to look and kiss, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Su Ci said on the side: "Xiao Shizi is well-behaved and cute, and His Majesty and Concubine Shu love him very much." When Shen Pearl heard the latter, her heart tightened inexplicably, and Su Ci said again: "I have to be instructed by His Royal Highness, I dare not leave Xiao Shizi an inch, Miss can rest assured." ”

Shen Pearl was very relieved, she had been away for so long, and Shi'er probably relied on Su Porcelain's care, and it was indeed difficult for her to ask a girl to be married to take care of the child in the chaos, and this friendship should be remembered forever. Looking at the plain porcelain, the current palace is different, dressed in a plain brocade palace costume, and the appearance is better than before, but the complexion is a little green and yellow, and it is a little haggard. It's hard to take care of a child.

Suddenly, I remembered someone and asked, "What about Cui Caiping, why don't you see her figure?" ”

Su Ci showed some pity, "She also lives in this courtyard, but His Highness never pays attention to her, and she is some-"

It turned out that when Ma Wei changed, although the mutinous soldiers did not embarrass Cui Caiping, she witnessed the tragic end of the concubine, her mother and a group of blood relatives, and was greatly stimulated, and fainted at that time. When I woke up, I was unconscious, and I was alone in one place all day, or I was in a state of speech, or hysterical. Li Li has sought treatment from several husbands, but he only said that he had a "heart loss disease" and took a decoction, but he seemed to have a worse seizure. came and went, and even Li Jiao didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, and only ordered the maids below to take care of her.

Shen Pearl didn't expect this to be the case, she felt hateful and disgusting at the beginning, and she couldn't help but feel pitiful and sighing at this time. said, "We'll go see her in a moment." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his arms and placket were hot, and he was surprised to himself, and he listened to Su Ci eat and laughed: "It's not good, Shi'er will give her mother a gift as soon as she comes." The two of them talked for a long time, but they didn't care, Li Shi soaked in the dragon spring and sprinkled it on Shen Zhuzhu's body.

Seeing that Shen Pearl was in a hurry, Su Ci stretched out his hand to take Li Shi and said, "It's up to me, look at you as a mother, you don't have any skills-"

Li Shi kicked up and down with his little hands and feet, obviously wet and uncomfortable, Su Ci coaxed him and hugged him, walked inward, and followed her all the time, and the nurse who did not speak hurriedly followed.

Su Ci put Li Shi on the bed, turned his head to Shen Pearl and smiled: "Miss, you have to come to learn-" The next word "learning" has not yet been spit out, his head tilted to the side, and he fell down staggeringly.

The imperial doctor immediately arrived, and he was also a famous local doctor in Fengxiang, who was the imperial doctor, and carefully helped Su porcelain take the pulse, and said: "Princess, the lady in the tent is a happy pulse." ”

"What?" Shen Pearl roared in his head and asked again.

The imperial doctor said slowly: "Judging from the pulse, Madame has been pregnant for more than three months. Although the old man is a man from the mountains and wilderness, he will never be wrong about this kind of pulse. ”

"Miss-" Su Ci called softly in the tent, Shen Pearl waved weakly, the imperial doctor didn't dare to stay longer, packed up and let the palace maid lead the way out.

Lifting the tent, the plain porcelain was crying.

Shen Pearl's heart jumped suddenly. Why was Su Porcelain conceived and how could she be conceived? Suddenly remembered that she said that she had not left Li Shi for a few months, how many men could be close to her? With the status of plain porcelain, how dare other men covet it?

Could it be him?

There was a faint fear in her heart, and if it was any woman, if she was with him, she would not be so afraid and frightened.

She took Su Porcelain's hand and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Su Porcelain didn't turn her head, as if she was crying secretly, Shen Zhu's heart was tight and loose, loose and tight, and her palms were full of cold sweat. But he didn't dare to ask again.

After a long time, Su Ci finally turned his face, stared straight at Shen Pearl a few times, turned his gaze to look at the tent curtain, and slowly spit out the words from between his teeth: "Yes-wind-"

The stone in Shen Pearl's heart fell to the ground suddenly, and he secretly laughed at himself for being too nervous. In the process of escaping that day, Su Porcelain had slightly revealed his feelings for Feng Shengyi, and then both of them were injured and rushed to Lingwu together, helping each other along the way, and it is not surprising that they have been in love for a long time. It's just that Feng Shengyi and Su Ci already have skin to skin, so they can't let Su Porcelain compromise, but said: "I see, Su Porcelain, you don't have to worry, wait for me to tell His Royal Highness, he will personally preside over the ceremony between the two of you, I will give you the name of the main room, and marry you in a beautiful way!" ”

"No, don't!" Su Ci suddenly got up, grabbed Shen Zhu's cuffs, and tears rolled down.

Shen Pearl was surprised.

Su Ci shook his head and cried: "That day, he was drunk and woke up and didn't know anything...... He has no mercy on me, I don't want him to pity me, miss, please don't show up, I don't want to coerce him with a child......"

Shen Pearl was sad, "But you are pregnant, how long can you hide this body?" ”

"I will give birth to this child," Su Ci cried to Shen Pearl mournfully, "Miss, I beg you to help me, help me find a house, let me hide for a while, and when I give birth, I will serve you again." ”

Shen Pearl said uncomfortably: "Su porcelain, it's me who can't live with you." I think that at the beginning, you, me, and Hongrui were like biological sisters, who knew that Hongrui died because of me, and now you are like this, your life is ruined, after all, I didn't take good care of you. ”

Su Ci whimpered: "Miss, this is all Su Porcelain's stupidity, as long as Miss doesn't look down on Su Porcelain, don't blame Su Porcelain......
