217 I am reluctant to leave you
Xia Muyao saw Yan Ling's sincere and frightened look, and she didn't say anything anymore, her mind is also very complicated now, during this time in the barracks, she has not used child avoidance medicine for a long time, and now she is pregnant, she is happy and worried.
Happily, she and Huerhe have another child, but they are worried that in the barracks, the conditions are difficult, and they don't know if it will damage the child?
At night, Huerhe returned to the big tent, Xia Muyao was sitting on her stepson's small bed, gently grinding her nails for her stepson, and when she saw Huerhe coming back, she looked up and smiled at him.
Huerhe walked to Xia Muyao's side and looked down at his sleeping stepson, "This little guy is getting more and more pestering these days." ”
"That means he likes you more and more, and he hasn't mentioned Zhao Yuanting much recently." Xia Muyao helped her stepson repair her nails and smiled.
"Three-year-olds are easy to forget." Huerhe whispered again.
Xia Muyao was still smiling, and asked again: "I heard that Zhao Yuanting's army has been dispatched, and it is attacked from front to back, does the Beihu army have a chance of winning?"
"Dakang's new army is just a rabble, although Zhao Yuanting's army is difficult, but the Beihu reinforcements are also coming, so it is not a problem." Huerhe said, his tone very light.
"That's good," Xia Muyao breathed a sigh of relief, "I still have something to tell you." ”
"What?" Huerhe looked down at Xia Muyao.
"Well," Xia Muyao continued to help her stepson repair her nails, "I was a little unwell today, and the military doctor came to help me check my pulse, saying that I was pregnant again." ”
Huerhe was stunned for a moment.
"Yao'er, you didn't notify me of such a big matter at the first time," Huerhe squatted down and looked up at Xia Muyao, "How do you feel?" ”
"Except for a little vertigo, everything else is fine." Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe and smiled.
When Huerhe heard this, he pulled Xia Muyao's little hand over, "You rest, I'll fix my stepson's nails." ”
Xia Muyao got up and gave up her position to Huerhe.
Huerhe took the file, and began to sharpen his stepson's nails while letting Xia Muyao go to bed to rest. Xia Muyao responded with a smile, turned around and returned to her big bed, lay down on her side, and then looked at Huerhe quietly.
Huerhe lowered his head and trimmed his stepson's nails seriously, occasionally raised his head, and smiled gently at Xia Muyao's gaze.

"I thought about it again and again, and I think it would be better for you to go back to Yancheng first." After Huerhe finished cleaning, he got into bed, hugged Xia Muyao in his arms, and said softly.
Xia Muyao found a comfortable position in Huerhe's arms and waited for him to continue.
"The conditions in the barracks are simple, and you often move, you are now pregnant, and you have stepchildren, and a handmaid takes care of you, I don't worry, not to mention, the food in the barracks is not enough for you to replenish enough nutrition." Huerhe said slowly.
Xia Muyao didn't speak, and listened quietly.
"What do you think?" Seeing that Xia Muyao didn't speak, Huerhe lowered his head and asked.
"I can't bear to leave you." Xia Muyao said softly.
"When the battle is over, I'll go back." Huerhe said, but he didn't know when this battle would be over.
Xia Muyao naturally knew that what Huerhe said was just words to comfort her, but after thinking about it, what Huerhe said was also reasonable, in two months, she was big, and if she wanted to go back to Yancheng, it would be inconvenient all the way, so it was better to leave as soon as possible, or you could take your stepchild to a place far away from Zhao Yuanting.
"Then I'll go back, I'll wait for you in Yancheng." Xia Muyao agreed to Huerhe's proposal.
"Okay." Huerhe hugged Xia Muyao full, as if sighing and saying something.
The next day, Xia Muyao began to ask Yan Ling to pack her bags.
"It seems that there is nothing to clean up, I can't believe it, Princess, you have lived such a humble life these days." Yan Ling sighed as she packed her things.
When Xia Muyao heard this, she only smiled faintly, and then bent over and said to her stepson: "Mother wants to take you home, there is a brother waiting for you there."
"So is there a father there?" Stepson asked seriously.
Xia Muyao was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "My father has gone to a far away place, and it will take a long time to come back, but you still have Abba, mother, brother, and," Xia Muyao said, reached out and touched her belly, and continued to her stepson: "Mother is pregnant again, do you want to have a brother or sister?"
Well...... The stepson thought seriously, "I want a sister." ”
"But my mother still doesn't know if she can give her stepson a younger brother or sister, so if it's a younger brother, do you like it?" Xia Muyao asked again.
"I like it." The stepchild nodded.
"That's good." Xia Muyao smiled with relief and kissed her stepson's little face gently.
Xia Muyao's trip back to Yancheng was scheduled for three days later, and Huerhe personally counted three hundred elite soldiers to ensure that Xia Muyao could be escorted back to Yancheng safely.
Three days will pass in a flash, so the final gathering is particularly precious.
Xia Muyao snuggled in Huerhe's arms at night, carefully telling her the precautions after leaving, but no matter how she told her, it was difficult to make Xia Muyao feel at ease.
When he noticed that Xia Muyao was in tears, Huerhe hugged her tightly, sighed and said, "Fool, it's not like you're seeing you again, what are you crying about?"
"But the thought of you alone in the barracks makes me sad." Xia Muyao said aggrievedly.
"I know I know, but I'm used to it, as long as you return to Yancheng, it's okay, and I'll be at ease." Huerhe kissed Xia Muyao on the hair.
Xia Muyao hugged Huerhe tightly, not knowing what to say, only the sadness in her heart lingered.
**
On the night three days later, Xia Muyao was escorted by three hundred elite soldiers and set foot on the road back to Yancheng.
The path chosen by the elite soldiers was to bypass Zhao Yuanting's army, and the reason why they chose to set off at night was to avoid all kinds of eyes and ears.
Suddenly about to leave Huerhe, the step-son was a little reluctant, he put his arms around Huerhe's neck, and asked puzzledly, "Why doesn't Abba go with us?"
"Abba wants to stay here to fight, and my stepson is obedient, waiting for Abba to go back in Yancheng." Huerhe kissed and kissed his stepson's little face.
Well. The stepsister nodded vigorously.
"Along the way, the step-son should be well-behaved, like a man, and take care of his grandmother." Huerhe admonished again.
Well. Ji'er nodded vigorously again.
Then Huerhe hugged Xia Muyao into his arms again, and said softly: "Let's go, take care of yourself on the road."
"You have to take care of yourself, I'll wait for you in the house." Xia Muyao said, regardless of whether anyone around was watching, stood on tiptoe and kissed Huerhe's lips.
Huerhe smiled and said softly, "Let's go."
Xia Muyao took a deep look at Huerhe, then turned around and got into the carriage, Huerhe followed, put his stepson in the carriage, and then smiled at the mother and son, and lowered the curtain.
The team set off.
After a night, the team has been far away from the war zone, the sky is getting brighter, and the elite soldiers have no intention of stopping, the farther away they are, the better, escorting Xia Muyao and her stepson is not an ordinary task, and there is no room for half a point difference.
It was not until noon that the elite soldiers stopped, had a brief lunch, fed the horses, rested for a short time, and then continued on the road.
From the war zone to Yancheng, there was a journey of more than ten days, but the elite soldiers could catch up all the way, and it only took eight days to arrive.
In these eight days, Huerhe led his army to fight two battles with Dakang, because the troops were scattered, Zhao Yuanting's army had the upper hand, and Huerhe retreated to the west eight miles away, waiting for reinforcements.
The reinforcements finally arrived a day later, Huerhe's army, Zhao Yuanting's army, and Dakang's new army, the three sides engaged in a melee, and Dakang's new army was overwhelmed and unable to fight back.
Zhao Yuanting took the opportunity to pursue the new army of Dakang, occupied the city, and confronted Huerhe across the city.
**
Xia Muyao suddenly returned to the vassal palace, which made Hu Hao a little surprised, and learned that Xia Muyao was pregnant again, so he nodded suddenly, and then Hu Hao looked at his stepson, he had learned that his stepchild was back in his correspondence with Huerhe, so he stretched out his hand to his stepson, "Come, good son, let the stepfather hug." ”
Xia Muyao raised her eyes and glanced at Hu Hao.
"What's wrong?" Hu Mao smiled uninhibitedly, "You and all the children of Huerhe, I have to think of the righteous son, including the one in your womb that has not yet been born." ”
If this is said from someone else's mouth, it is undoubtedly unorthodox, but it is natural to say it.
Xia Muyao didn't want to talk to him about these clueless things, so she walked up to Duoya, who came later, "How is my sister doing this time?" ”
"I'm naturally good in the house, but I've suffered you," Duoya looked at Xia Muyao, her eyes full of reluctance, "Sister, you have lost a lot of weight." ”
"I don't feel bitter when I get used to it." Xia Muyao smiled lightly, then took Duoya's hand and walked towards the palace.
The subordinates of the vassal king's mansion knelt on the ground together to welcome Xia Muyao back to the mansion.
Ji'er was very curious, looked at Huhao, and then looked at the people all over the ground, and then shouted at Xia Muyao's back, "Mother." ”
Xia Muyao heard the voice, stopped, and beckoned to her stepson, who broke free from Huhao's arms and ran all the way to Xia Muyao's side.
Xia Muyao took her stepson's little hand and entered the vassal palace.
After walking a short distance, I saw Huan'er flying out of it, I hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and he had grown taller and stronger, and he shouted loudly from a distance: "Grandma, grandma."
Xia Muyao's tears fell, squatted down, and opened her arms to Huan'er, and like a deer, she bumped into Xia Muyao's arms.
"Stinky boy, you light, don't bump into Grandma." Hu Hao hurriedly shouted from the side.
How could he take care of so much, he was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his grandmother, hugged Xia Muyao's neck tightly, and refused to let go.
The step-child looked at the grandma and brother who were hugging each other, and finally couldn't help but step forward and tried to pull them away, grandma was his, and he couldn't allow other children to rob him.
