Qingyun rewarded him with an auspicious red envelope, and the kid ran out to show Da Hei, and the two of them smirked like a pair of fools.

Towards the end of the dinner, Jiang Jue hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Mu Qingao's ear.

Mu Qingao nodded, turned sideways and said to Qingyun, "I'll send you back to rest." ”

"Did something happen?"

"It's nothing, I found a few suspicious people on the mountain outside the city, I'm afraid it's a spy sent by Beihu, I'll take a look and come back."

"It looks like it's going to rain, the mountain roads are slippery, you have to be more careful."

Song Qingyun never interfered with what he had to do, went back to the room with him, and asked Guo's mother to take out a big hat that she had done a few days ago and put it on for him.

"Bring more people over, it's pitch black outside, beware of an ambush!"

Mu Qingao attached himself to her forehead and kissed her, and couldn't help pinching her face and said, "My little lady really loves to nag, I will take more precautions, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tonight, don't wait for me, you and your son go to bed early." ”

Somehow, after leaving Mu Qingao, Song Qingyun became restless. Guo's mother comforted her, saying that in the late stage of pregnancy, her belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, which will affect the mood of pregnant women to some extent.

At night, Guo's mother wanted to give her some incense that could calm her nerves, but was stopped by Qingyun.

"Leave a lamp for the prince, let the vigil be vigilant, and the prince will come and talk to me when he comes back."

Song Qingyun didn't sleep well all night, the child in the womb was very naughty, constantly kicking his stomach and moving, Qingyun knew that the mother and son were connected because she couldn't sleep quietly, so the child would also worry.

By daybreak, she had finally fallen asleep.

Mr. Sun was going back to Beijing, and he was going to quit with her, but he didn't want to bother when he heard that he was asleep, so Doubao sent him to the gate on behalf of his parents.

"Mother Guo, didn't my mother rest last night, okay?"

"Yes, Madame keeps turning over, probably because the child in her belly keeps kicking her."

"I'll go to the study and wait for my father, if my mother wakes up, please send someone to tell me."

"Yes, young master."

As Mu Qingao expected, if he was not at home, Doubao consciously took the responsibility of protecting her mother on his shoulders.

In ten days it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were many things to be done in the mansion, and the stewards from all over the country came to the study room one by one to check it, attracting Doubao's attention.

After inquiring clearly, he asked someone to invite Guo's mother to the outer courtyard and asked the stewards to explain what they wanted to buy.

"What would she do if my mother was here?"

Every time he listened to a person's report, Doubao would ask Guo's mother for her opinion, and Guo's mother couldn't cry or laugh, "Little master, otherwise when Mrs. wakes up, we will discuss what to do, okay?" ”

"It's good, but I want to reduce my mother's burden, Guo's mother is the most trusted person in my mother's life, I don't understand these things, it's better for Guo's mother to get a charter, and tell them to do what to do."

"Little master, is this good?" Guo's mother asked with sincere fear.

"What's so bad? My dad hasn't come back yet, and when my mother wakes up, she will inevitably ask her about it, even if Guo's mother tells her all the housework, I guess my mother will let you make up her mind. ”

Guo's mother thought about it carefully and felt that it was like that, so she considered arranging the affairs of the steward of the outer courtyard.

The strange thing is that Song Qingyun slept for a long time, and it wasn't until the afternoon when she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Mother Guo?"

Guo's mother, who was guarding the side, hurriedly helped her up, "Madam, you don't feel uncomfortable, do you?" ”

An hour ago, she asked Lord Liu to come over and touch Qingyun's pulse, Liu Yanping said that she was overworked and fell into a deep sleep, adults and children were fine, and Guo's mother was relieved.

"What time is it?"

Seeing that the light in the house was dim, Qingyun thought it was still night, but he didn't know that it was raining coldly outside, and the charcoal fire in the house made a crackling and popping sound.

"Madam, it's the second hour of Shen, are you hungry? I'll call the kitchen fire, Ah Fu, you go and prepare hot water for Mrs. to wash. ”

"I've slept for so long?"

Song Qingluo rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Is the prince back?" ”

Guo's mother said, "Not yet, madam, you should eat first, otherwise the child in the belly will be hungry." ”

Song Qingyun didn't say anything else, obediently got up and washed, and then sat at the table without saying a word and slowly drank the thick chicken soup.

"Mother, are you awake?" Doubao came in with a cloak on his body, followed by Ah Yun and Da Hei.

Da Hei is very human, he seems to know that Qingyun is pregnant, and when he came in, he lay on the side of the door, with a sigh in his mouth, and looked up at Doubao from time to time.

"Why are your little hands so cold? Didn't you sleep in the afternoon? ”

"No, I was reviewing my homework with Ah Yun in the study, and I promised Mr. Sun that when he came back in the future, he would memorize ten articles he left."

"That's good!" Qingyun touched his little head with relief.

"When your father comes back in the evening, you can recite to him the lesson you reviewed today."

"Well, okay!"

Neither mother nor son mentioned their own anxieties, if it was an ordinary thief, Jiang Jue could solve it himself.

In that atmosphere yesterday, Jiang Jue came to Mu Qingao, and he knew that the situation was critical without explanation. It's just that Song Qingyun didn't expose Mu Qingao's lies, and now it seems that there must be more than one bad luck.

Song Qingyun barely drank a bowl of chicken soup and couldn't eat anything anymore.

"Mother, for the sake of my little brother or little sister, you can eat a little more!" Doubao said worriedly.

Qingyun had no choice but to pick up a piece of osmanthus red bean cake and bite it slowly in his mouth, and he didn't know the taste at first glance.

"Mother, are you worried about Dad?" Doubao plucked up the courage to ask.

"Yes, Doubao, please come to my uncle, my mother has something to tell him."

"Mother, I have asked my little uncle and little aunt to go to the mountains outside the city to find my father."

Song Qingyun was stunned, and said for a while, "You did a good job, I want to be in front for my mother." ”

Waiting is a kind of torment, seeing the endless winter rain, when it was time to hold the lamp, Song Yu and Song Batian came back in muddy water, the two of them looked serious, and there was no need to ask what they brought back was definitely bad news.

When the two of them changed out of wet clothes and came to Qingyun's room, Qingyun had already sat there calmly and calmly drinking tea.

"Song Yu, do you know how to contact the secret guard beside the prince?"

"Sister, these are confidential matters, and only Jiang Jue knows about them." Song Yu said gloomily.

"It's going to be fine, let's wait another night, wait for the rain to stop and then go up the mountain to look for it, the cave is very long, maybe they found some fork in the road and entered a place we don't know."

Song Yu couldn't bear to poke her, he and Song Batian went down to inspect every corner of the cave, the bottom of the stone paint that had dried up, and found no human footprints, indicating that there was no fight inside.

The traces on the mountain were washed clean by the light rain, and occasionally a muddy footprint could be found, but they were all intermittent and could not be traced, and it was impossible to deduce what had happened at that time.
