All day, Xia Muyao has been in a trance, her stepson's words stirred up an uproar in her heart, she carefully recalled the events of the year before last, about her in Siyao Palace, about her return to Huerhe, and then she became pregnant, on the eve of her labor, Zhao Yuanting suddenly appeared, and then snatched the child......

The more she thought about it, Xia Muyao's heart was like falling into an ice cave, and a cruel truth was about to come out.

It wasn't until Huerhe returned to his temporary residence in the city at night that Xia Muyao felt that she had something to rely on and pounced.

"What's wrong?" Huerhe hugged Xia Muyao, looked at his stepson who was already asleep on his small bed, and asked softly.

Xia Muyao just didn't say anything, all day, she was frightened by her own conjectures, and at this moment the whole person was on the verge of collapse, and her body trembled slightly.

"Yao'er, are you feeling unwell?" Huerhe felt Xia Muyao's body trembling, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

Xia Muyao shook her head, just arched her head into Huerhe's arms, hugged him tightly, and said softly: "I think I'm so cold." ”

Huerhe hugged Xia Muyao tighter, reached out and rubbed her, and then simply picked up Xia Muyao, sent her to the bed, and wrapped her in a quilt.

Xia Muyao broke away from the quilt and still hugged Huerhe, only by sticking to Huerhe at the moment did she feel stable.

Huerhe was amused by Xia Muyao's actions, "Let me take off my armor first and change into my bedclothes." ”

Xia Muyao let go of her hand, watched Huerhe change into his bedclothes, and hurriedly stretched out her hand again, signaling him to come and hug him.

Huerhe got on the bed, opened his arms and hugged Xia Muyao, "Are you coquettish?" ”

"I just feel so cold, Huerhe, hold me well." Xia Muyao hugged Huerhe tightly and said in a low voice, her tone was unconcealable.

"What's wrong with you, Yao'er? What happened when I was away today? Only then did Huerhe feel Xia Muyao's abnormality, plain, and she was not so lost when she was coquettish.

"Huerhe, why did you say that Zhao Yuanting wanted to snatch his stepson?" After a long time, Xia Muyao finally asked such a sentence.

Huerhe's heart tightened, and he pretended to be casual and said: "It's just to take revenge on me, since my stepchild has returned, don't think about those unhappy things anymore." ”

"But Ji'er told me today that Zhao Yuanting said that he would pass the throne to him, and Zhao Yuanting also said that Ji'er had his blood flowing on his body," Xia Muyao raised her head and stared at Huerhe's eyes, "What do you mean by him saying this?" ”

Huerhe's expression froze, and he replied quietly: "My stepchild is only three years old, do you believe his words?" ”

"Precisely because he is only three years old, he will only say what he hears, and not nonsense himself." Xia Muyao stared at Huerhe, "You tell me frankly, did you know anything when you wanted to put Zhao Yuanting to death so much that day?" ”

"Zhao Yuanting snatched my child, I naturally want to put him to death." Huerkh remained silent.

Xia Muyao's gaze searched for unusual traces on Huerhe's face, but Huerhe hid it too well, and she couldn't see anything unusual about his expression.

Xia Muyao eased up at this time, and secretly asked herself in her heart, could it be that she was thinking too much about herself?

"Why would he say that his stepson had his blood on him?" But Xia Muyao was still not at ease.

"Zhao Yuanting is a madman, don't pay attention to his words." Huerhe's expression remained unchanged and explained calmly.

Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe, her eyes were wet, and then she buried her head in Huerhe's chest, she felt that she was really getting colder and colder.

Huerhe's performance, if it was said that Xia Muyao was relieved at the beginning, but then it was already abnormal, Huerhe was too calm, it seemed that he had expected Xia Muyao to ask such a question, and he was ready to deal with it.

The calmer Huerhe became, the more sure Xia Muyao was that what she suspected was indeed true.

Xia Muyao felt that the blood around her body had coagulated, what did Zhao Yuanting do to her when she was in Siyao Palace? She tried to think about it, and it seemed that there was something wrong, but what was wrong, she really didn't have half of it.

Without memory, that's the scariest part.

Thinking of this, Xia Muyao couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Huerhe hugged Xia Muyao in his arms, gritted his teeth, his heart was simply rubbed into shape, his most beloved woman, he didn't protect her well, let her suffer such humiliation, if possible, he was even willing to exchange his life for a time lapse.

***

Since that day, Xia Muyao has not been as happy as usual, she is often in a daze, falling into the mire of boundless speculation.

Even when she took her stepson, she often wandered, facing Huerhe, she always had a subtle sense of alienation in her heart, since she heard what her stepson said that he had Zhao Yuanting's blood on his body, she felt that she was not worthy of Huerhe.

She had the idea of leaving the barracks, anyway, her stepson came back, and she didn't want to distract Huerhe all day in the barracks.

Xia Muyao finally told Huerhe what she thought.

During this period of time, Xia Muyao's expression was lonely and very unhappy, Huerhe saw it in his eyes, and at this moment, he heard Xia Muyao say that he wanted to go back to Yancheng, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

To be honest, Huerhe didn't want Xia Muyao to leave him, he couldn't rest assured, he was afraid that Zhao Yuanting would take advantage of his absence and send a master to kidnap Xia Muyao again.

"Why are you leaving? Aren't you distressed that I'm left alone? Huerhe could only use this trick to make Xia Muyao's heart soft.

"I'm going to distract you here, and besides, I've been away for too long, and I want to go back to see him, so that my stepson can go back and get familiar with the environment." Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe and said.

And how could she be willing to leave Huerhe in her heart, the days of the expedition were hard and dangerous, and she wanted to be by his side all the time and comfort him.

"Cousin in the house will naturally take care of it, Yao'er, stay with me." Huerkh still insisted.

Xia Muyao didn't say anything, lowered her eyes, and looked tired.

Huerkh stepped forward and hugged her, lifted her chin, and lowered his head to give her a kiss.

Xia Muyao twisted her head and avoided Huerhe.

This has been the case for the past few days, Xia Muyao avoided Huerhe's kiss, and the cheering signal he sent at night, she felt that she was not innocent enough and was not worthy of Huerhe.

The fact that her stepson may be her and Zhao Yuanting's child made her almost unbearable.

Huerhe looked at Xia Muyao, she had always been thoughtful, and this time she listened to her stepson's words, it was reasonable for her to think more, but she was always stunned, he really didn't know how to dispel these speculations, and he was afraid that he would say too many mistakes and omissions, which made her even more confounded.

He held Yao'er in his arms, and he had never felt so strange between them.

**

Seven days later, Dakang's army finally reached the point of battle with Beihu.

The two armies faced each other, and on the first day, they were killed in the dark.

Although the overall quality of the Dakang soldiers is unsatisfactory, there are many capable people under Juyizhuang, so after they went to the battlefield, they also resisted for a while.

In the first battle, both sides were damaged, Beihu did not take advantage, and Dakang naturally couldn't do anything to Beihu.

Mingjin withdrew his troops and fought again in the coming day.

In this way, the fight stopped, stopped, and the seven days passed, the Dakang army withdrew to the city, and Beihu attacked the city for three days in a row, all of which ended in failure.

Dakang decided to wait for work, defend the city, and let the Beihu people attack the city, consuming military strength and grain and grass.

Huerhe naturally understood what Dakang meant, and after three days, he stopped besieging the city and instead implemented siege tactics, intending to trap Dakang's army in the city and become a dead city.

However, although the North Gate, the East Gate, and the West Gate were controlled by Beihu, there was still the South Gate, and the Dakang army was still in close communication with the Dakang Imperial Court, and all supplies were also transported from the South Gate.

How to siege the city became a matter of urgency.

Huerhe and his lieutenants discussed methods, and often returned late at night.

When Huerhe returned to the big tent, Xia Muyao was mostly asleep, she looked sad and didn't sleep very well. Huerhe looked at her by the bedside, not knowing what to do.

Due to many days of depression, coupled with a long time in the military camp and lack of nutrition, Xia Muyao finally fell ill.

She was lying on the bed, sleeping all day long, always feeling cold, Yan Ling covered her with two quilts, and she still felt cold.

Yan Ling had no choice but to go to the military tent to find Huerhe.

Huerhe, who was discussing military affairs, listened to Yan Ling's report, hurriedly terminated the discussion, got up and went back to the big tent, at that time, Xia Muyao was still lying in the big tent for a whole day.

The step-child stayed quietly and looked at Xia Muyao, during these days of getting along, the step-child has become more and more inseparable from Xia Muyao, and Xia Muyao also takes him around to play every day, but today, Xia Muyao has been sleeping in bed, which makes him a little uneasy.

"When did the princess start falling asleep?" Huerhe sat on the edge of the bed and asked Yan Ling in a cold voice.

"It started before lunch, at first the slave maid thought that the princess was just too sleepy, and then she realized that something was wrong, but the princess was afraid that you would be distracted, and the slave maid was not allowed to report it." Yan Ling lowered her head and replied uneasily.

Huerhe's gaze swept coldly over Yan Ling, but he also knew that this was not the time to punish her, "Go and send the military doctor quickly." ”

Yan Ling answered, and hurriedly left the big tent,

"Yao'er." Huerhe leaned over and shouted Xia Muyao.

Xia Muyao turned her head sideways, she was still sleeping deeply, she was sweating a lot, and the nightmares in her dreams were one after another, she felt as if she was a drowning person, fluttering and trying to grab some support, but she couldn't catch anything, she only felt that her chest was getting tighter and tighter, and she was gradually suffocating.

After the military doctor came, he checked Xia Muyao's pulse, but he couldn't see anything wrong with the pulse, but he was just a little flustered, and he really couldn't see what the specific symptoms were.

"The princess's body can't see anything wrong, it seems that there are some signs of restlessness, and her subordinates prescribe a few calming prescriptions for the princess to eat first." The military doctor bent over Huerhe.
