Liu Nan held his round belly and slowly walked forward to salute step by step.

Meng Xilan said with a smile: "Sister, let's be flat, don't disturb the child in the womb." ”

Jiao Changqing said that there is a chance that her baby will have a difficult birth. The fetus is too large, and even if the fetus is in a correct position, it is difficult to give birth naturally.

Meng Xilan remembered the pain she suffered every day in order to give birth to an immortal life, and her heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

If it is a last resort, Liu Nan is afraid that he will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Because she is pregnant, Liu Nan's body has gained a lot of weight, her face is swollen, and her appearance has changed a lot.

She knew that her appearance was not as beautiful as before, so she had the heart to avoid it, kept her head down, and did not like to talk.

Meng Xilan has never liked to be very lively, and the concubines came to say goodbye, but after just saying a few words, they left with interest, so as not to disturb her purity and accidentally cause trouble.

Liu Nan deliberately left it until the end, as if he had something to say.

Meng Xilan was also gentle, and only asked Baozhu to change her into a more comfortable chair, so as not to make her hard.

Liu Nan lowered his eyes slightly, leaned back in the chair behind him a little tiredly, stretched out his hand to support his round belly and said: "Ladies in the palace, the concubine is a prince in this child...... Because the stomach is swollen unsightly. ”

Meng Xilan smiled lightly when she heard this: "Of course the prince is good, my sister has to take care of herself." ”

Liu Nan hooked the corners of her lips and showed a helpless wry smile: "Niangniang, it is already the greatest blessing in this life for the concubine to be blessed to conceive the imperial heir." However, the concubines are afraid that they will no longer have the blessing to watch the prince grow up with their own eyes. ”

Although her fetal gas is stable, the fetus in her womb is unusually large, and it is impossible to give birth smoothly.

When Meng Xilan heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she looked at her and said, "Good and dignified, why did my sister say such discouraged words." ”

Liu Nan had tears in his eyes, but he endured it stubbornly.

"Niangniang, the concubine is not discouraged, she is just worried about ......"

The imperial doctors reported good news but not bad news, and the palace maids and grandmothers around them tightened their mouths. She wants to hear the truth, it's harder than climbing to the sky.

But whether this body is her own or not, she knows in her own heart.

"Niangniang, the concubine is about to give birth in a few months. When the time comes, it will be evil or auspicious, it will all depend on the will of heaven. In case of...... The concubine said that in case something happens to the concubine, she will also ask the mother to be able to raise the prince herself......"

Zhou Tianyou is a concubine, but Meng Xilan still keeps him by his side.

Liu Nan thought of the worst, if something happened to him, what should this kid do?

Meng Xilan has been in charge of the harem for many years, and she can't hold sand in her eyes, this child can only be handed over to her, grow up under her nose, and be under her control.

Meng Xilan's expression froze, looked at her and said, "You are pregnant with a child, don't think nonsense if you have nothing to do." ”

It was indeed not easy for her to think of this step, but unfortunately it was useless. If she really wants the child in her womb to grow up safely, she can only rely on herself.

When Liu Nan saw her say this, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and it was difficult to figure out a clue for a while.

Whether it is good or bad, good or bad, it depends on God's will.

…

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, heavy snow fell.

Tu Du led his elite soldiers to the outskirts of Beijing and set up camp.

The imperial court obviously arranged for him to live in an annex, but they did not appreciate it.

Compared with the bitter cold on the grassland, the winter in the capital is not difficult.

The people outside the city were eyeing each other, and the people inside the city were terrified.

The military defense in Beijing has been greatly strengthened, martial law is imposed every night, and the censorship of entering and leaving the city is even more severe.

Anyone with a foreign accent, whether a woman or a child or an elderly person, was not allowed to enter the city. Unless there are people in the city with a household register as a guarantee, they can be released.

Such layers of screening are just to prevent people of unknown origin from entering the city, especially people of different races.

When the people in Beijing heard that the Turks had come outside the city, they were anxious and afraid.

Those who do business dare not open shops, those who do business do not dare to go out, and the streets and alleys are deserted, except for a few pedestrians who can occasionally be seen.

The forbidden army, who was in charge of patrolling the city, patrolled the streets every half an hour, and anyone who saw a suspicious person had to be carefully interrogated.

Now it is still in the middle of the year, and the capital is the most prosperous and lively, but because of the arrival of Tudu, everyone's hearts are tense.

The ministers of the court and the central government discussed this one after another, and those who were originally in favor of the peace negotiations changed their positions one by one and began to oppose them.

"Your Majesty, if this Tudu has the heart to negotiate peace, then it should send an envoy according to the rules. He is now so blatantly stationed outside the capital, it is clear that he has other plans! Your Majesty, you can't let them stay anymore, so as not to cause endless trouble! ”

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wu said is extremely true. As the saying goes, those who come are not good and those who are good do not come. Tu Du deliberately wants to provoke our Beiyan and provoke the emperor, the power of your Son of Heaven! ”

"Yes, yes, once the city gate is opened, it is equivalent to luring wolves into the house!"

Zhou Youchen sat on the throne and listened to them with a blank face, talking useless nonsense.

The ministers talked lively, but when they saw that the emperor's face remained unchanged, and they were afraid of talking too much, they stopped talking one after another.

Meng Zhenglu, as the lord of the country, naturally wanted to speak for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say."

Zhou Youchen glanced at him and gave him a tacit look.

Meng Zhenglu took a step forward and said lightly: "Ministers, don't be impatient. Na Tu is not a brainless person, he came to the capital, if he was fighting, it would not be so blatant. This is a heavily guarded capital, not a frontier thousands of miles away, he has no backup, how can he start a war? ”

It is rumored that Tudu won all battles in the grassland, and his position as Khan was also fought all the way.

How can a person who is good at war be so easily stupid?

Tu Du is ambitious, and what he wants is the entire Northern Yan, not just an imperial city.

What Meng Zhenglu said was reasonable and to the point, so that the ministers had nothing to say.

Zhou Youchen raised his eyes slightly, his gaze swept over everyone one by one, and said coldly: "It's a shame that you are all the pillars of the country, and you will only panic and mess up when you encounter something!" ”

If Tudu really has the heart and soul to wash the capital, then, with these timid and fearful people alone, this capital will definitely not be able to hold it.

…

Bai'an Town on the outskirts of Beijing.

The camp of Tudu was here, and the people of the town were so frightened by the Turks that they could not escape, and they could not escape, so they could only obey their orders and dispatches.

Because it is now in the middle of the New Year's Festival, almost all the New Year's goods purchased by the people in the town have been robbed by the Turks.

They drank wine and ate meat all day long, and they robbed a lot of women.

Just when his subordinates were having fun, Tu Du lived a pure life, he didn't drink alcohol or women, but often went outside the hillside to look at the tall moat not far away.

Tu Du was surrounded not only by good generals and martial artists, but also strategists and ministers.

Half a year ago, Tu Du's men captured a man from the Central Plains. This man is unknown, but he is very intelligent.

Tu Du spared his life, originally just to ask him about the people of the Central Plains, but he didn't expect him to have many ideas.

After coming and going, this man became his advisor.

Because he didn't even have a name, Tu Du gave him a nickname, called Anonymous.

Anonymous, anonymous, and gradually his name became Wu Mingshi.

At the beginning, Tu Du agreed to the peace of the imperial court, also because of Wu Mingshi's advice.

"Great Khan, Emperor Beiyan will soon send someone to invite the Great Khan into Beijing."

Hearing this, Tu Du raised his eyes and glanced at him: "He doesn't count, I can enter Beijing whenever I want." ”

Wu Mingshi's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this: "Great Khan, you still want to stay in the suburbs of Beijing for a few more days." ”

His purpose was to go to the capital and see the hundred-year-old capital with his own eyes.

Tu Du groaned slightly: "Look at that high city wall, it's like a cage surrounded by stones!" On the contrary, it is more pleasing to the eye outside the city. ”

Wu Mingshi lowered his head and smiled when he heard this, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Great Khan, I really can see it thoroughly." Indeed, the prosperity of the capital is not something that everyone can experience. Separated by a wall, the world outside the wall may be better. ”

When Tu Du heard him say this, he raised his thick eyebrows lightly and said, "What, you are from here?" ”

Wu Mingshi shook his head slightly: "No, I'm just a duckweed-like person, wandering with the wind." ”

Seeing him say this, Tu Du curled the corners of his lips.

"Tell me about Emperor Beiyan again, no, you should talk about his woman. Isn't that woman amazing? ”

Wu Mingshi nodded, knelt on his knees, and said: "The queen of Beiyan, named Meng Xilan, was born in the Meng family in the capital, and she is a famous family. I heard that she was a very beautiful woman, but her heart was also very vicious. Meng Xilan was originally the woman of the first emperor, but unfortunately, because of this bad relationship with the Emperor of Beiyan...... became the mother of a nation. ”

Tu Du seemed to listen casually, but he secretly cared in his heart.

"The people of the Central Plains open their mouths and shut up all day long, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom, and the result is not the same as us barbarians. Once the Khan is killed, his woman becomes the trophy of the next Khan! Then Meng Xilan is the spoils of the Northern Yan Emperor. ”

Wu Mingshi chuckled when he heard this: "You can also say the same...... That woman is really smart, though. ”

"A wise woman is the most useless thing to me." Tu Du suddenly replied, which made Wu Mingshi slightly surprised.

"Great Khan, you won't be interested in Empress Beiyan, will you?"

Tu Du stood up suddenly and took a few steps in the tent: "She is the queen, the most noble woman in the Northern Yan Kingdom, of course I am interested." ”

He doesn't care about anything, just the best and most valuable.

It seems to be a very interesting thing to snatch the woman of the Northern Yan Emperor.

Wu Mingshi shook his head with a smile: "Great Khan, Meng Xilan is almost forty years old. The Great Khan wants her to be useless! The Great Khan is in his prime, and he should not be accompanied by an old woman. ”

Tu Du just smiled faintly when he heard this.

He doesn't care about women at all...... In his eyes, women are the same as slaves, they are as many as they want!

"Anonymous, what I want to take away is the most noble woman in Beiyan. Whether she's beautiful or ugly, I just want them to taste the taste of being ripped off by people's hearts. ”

Wu Mingshi nodded: "Great Khan, subordinates understand. You want to take away the most cherished woman in the hearts of the Emperor and Empress of Northern Yan. Then, the most suitable candidate for this kind of relationship is the county lord of Yuxiu. ”
