Chapter Seventy-Three: The Celestial Evil Star
She hadn't seen him all day, and she had to look at him first to feel at ease.
After Concubine Yi left the imperial study, the words she said lingered in Nangong Yan's ears. Yu Qiqi walked in from the outside and saw him sitting on the dragon chair gloomily, the candlelight on the table shrouded his lowered face, dyeing a halo of light.
"Your Majesty."
She walked up to him and called out cautiously.
"You're still with a big belly, why did you come here?" Hearing her delicate voice, Nangong Yan raised her head, her face was gloomy, her eyes were dim, and she couldn't find a trace of light.
Yu Qiqi stretched out his hand, wanting to help him straighten the broken hair scattered on his head, but he blinked his eyelids and opened it.
"It's been so long since you've been back, and you haven't come to see me and the child, so I thought I'd come and see you." Yu Qiqi was stunned and withdrew his soft hand.
"I just came back from the western border today, and there are too many things to be busy in the court, and I will go to see you again after the morning court tomorrow."
He tried to curl the corners of his lips and squeeze out a smile.
"What's going on?" Yu Qiqi twisted his fingers that he didn't know how to place, but he couldn't help but ask him.
Nangong Yan's eyes moved, and he replied softly: "It's okay, Yanjing City is out of danger, and the soldiers in the hands of the King of Xichu County have also surrendered, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." ”
"Then, you rested earlier tonight, and you must be tired from fighting for so many days in the western border." Yu Qiqi swallowed back the question he wanted to ask again.
He's tonight, there's something weird.
"Well, you can go back and sleep, don't think about it." Nangong Yan raised her eyebrows, her eyes still did not have a trace of light, and she had not touched her.
Yu Qiqi turned around and followed Ah Jian back.
The moonlight was cold, and she did what he said, and didn't think much about it anymore.
On the second day, in the early morning, Gu Xia walked out of the ranks of ministers, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Xichu sent someone to send a message yesterday, ordering us to return the body of the king of Xichu County. ”
Nangong Yan narrowed his eyes, and a hint of cunning flashed between his eyes, "Tell him that I will personally send it to him." ”
The faces of the courtiers below have changed.
Is the emperor going to lead troops again?
"Your Majesty, you have just returned from the western border, how can you lead the troops to the expedition again?" Liu Monian took the lead in standing up and wanted to dissuade him.
If Xiang took the opportunity to capture Western Chu, he could send Gu Xia there, he didn't need to go in person.
"Although the king of Western Chu is dead, but the emperor of Western Chu is not to be underestimated, when he fought in the Quartet, it can be said that he was famous, but now that he is old, if I only send a young general to deal with him, it will inevitably make him laugh, and the world will laugh at my victory."
Nangong Yan's expression was focused, and his eyes were slightly dull.
The civil and military officials bowed their heads and thought for a moment, and then they had no objections, and what he said was all reasonable. He had just ascended to the throne, and it was important to accumulate fame among the people.
After going down, Liu Monian walked in front of Nangong Yan, hesitated again and again, but still didn't speak.
"If you have something to say, say it."
Nangong Yan gave him a cold look.
"Did the emperor have any trouble with the queen?" Liu Monian thought about it for a long time, and could only come up with such a reason.
"You didn't listen to what I said in the court?" Nangong Yan's brows immediately furrowed, and his face showed unhappiness, obviously not wanting to hear him mention Yu Qiqi.
"Yes."
Liu Monian's expression was grim, and he didn't dare to ask any more.
It stands to reason that he just came back for a day, and the queen mother has a big belly, what can the two of them make unhappy?
Seeing him like this, Liu Mo Nian didn't dare to guess Jun Yi anymore, so he had to leave with his tail between his legs.
When Yu Qiqi learned the news, Nangong Yan had already led the troops to set off to Western Chu with the corpse of the king of Western Chu, and she sat on the bench with a stunned face, "Why didn't he leave without telling me?" ”
He told her in person last night that he was going to come to see her after the morning today.
"Maybe it happened suddenly."
Ah Jian squatted in front of her, also puzzled, but she wanted to comfort Yu Qiqi.
"No, he must have been avoiding me on purpose." Recalling Nangong Yan's attitude towards her last night, Yu Qiqi felt that something was wrong.
"But the princess has been raising her baby in the palace for many days, looking forward to his return every day, and she hasn't done anything to be sorry for him, why should he avoid the princess?"
Ajian said indignantly.
Her words made Yu Qiqi stunned for a moment, "Maybe it's because of Brother Qing." During the time when he was not in Yanjing City, Yan Shiqing was by her side, and when Nangong Yan came back yesterday, he must have heard the news, so he avoided her.
There was a surprise between her eyebrows, and Nangong Yan directly led the troops to Xichu before she heard her explanation. Suddenly, she screamed, and the fetus in her womb kicked her, and Ah Jian hurriedly held her up.
"Could it be that even you blame your mother?"
Yu Qiqi lowered his head in amazement and muttered to himself.
Ah Jian wanted to say something more, but after being booed by Zhao Niang, he obediently stopped. After waiting for her to sleep, she walked out of the dormitory.
Seeing that Chu Peiyu was still guarding outside the palace, she stepped forward and asked him, "Did the emperor lead his troops to Western Chu because the prince came to Yanjing to see the princess?" ”
Chu Peiyu turned around and looked at her inexplicably, "The emperor naturally has his considerations when he goes to Western Chu, where is it because of these crooked heresies of yours?" ”
"Then he came back and didn't come to see our princess." There was a hint of complaint in her words.
"He has every opportunity, and the matter of Xichu has to be solved as soon as possible, so naturally he can't be free, and when the matter of Xichu is solved this time, he will definitely be by his mother's side."
Chu Peiyu helped Nangong Yan speak, after all, he really couldn't get out of this time.
Ah Jian twisted his eyebrows, and felt that what he said was right. Nangong Yan is the lord of a country, so he naturally has to think about the people of Yanjing in advance.
She stood behind him for a moment before she moved away.
Not long after Nangong Yan left Yanjing City, Wu Lian also woke up, Concubine Yi leaned on the edge of her bed and fell asleep, Yan Shiqing was still standing outside the house, and the cup of tea in front of her was already cold.
Wu Lian got off the bed and walked in front of him, "Qing'er, I thought about it for a while, your mother is not suitable to stay in Yanjing City, you can take her back to Nanzhao." ”
"Grandmother." Yan Shiqing hurriedly stood up and helped her sit down.
"Qing'er has already thought about it, when you wake up, I will take you and your mother back to Nanzhao, now that you have woken up, we can leave together to return to Nanzhao in the near future."
Yan Shiqing told her what was in his heart.
"I'll go back with you? But I'm like this..."Wu Lian looked embarrassed, she looked so terrible, she was afraid not to scare his father and mother.
"Don't worry, my father and mother will understand my grandson." Yan Shiqing rested his hand on her wrist and comforted her.
"I never thought that your mother and I would rely on you in the end, and blame us for helping your grandfather do all the bad things."
She sighed happily, and her heart was not happy.
"Now that I see that you and my mother are all right, I am relieved, and we will not pursue the previous incident."
Yan Shiqing stood up, sat down in front of her, and asked her to take a good look at her face.
"You're a good boy." Mai Lian clenched his hand. Her hands, which she had held the hilt of the sword all her life, were full of calluses.
Afraid of Yan Shiqing, she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
......
After recuperating for so many days, Shen Feihong's injuries had healed for the most part, and he was about to enter the palace to find Nangong Yan, but Liu Mo Nian took the lead in walking in from outside, walked in front of him, and pulled him into the house.
"Hey, what are you doing here, I'm going to go to the palace to find the emperor." Shen Feihong was pulled by him and said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't go, the emperor is not in the palace."
After pulling him back into the courtyard, Liu Mo Nian hurriedly replied to him.
"Not in the palace? Where did he go again? Shen Feihong was puzzled, he had just come back not long ago, where was he going to go?
"I personally escorted the corpse of the king of Xichu to Xichu, and took away 100,000 troops." Liu Monian sat on the stone bench and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Suddenly, Shen Feihong's eyes widened, "He wants to attack Xichu?" ”
"Yes, if he doesn't lead the troops in person, the world will say that our Yanjing is not martial." Liu Monian said in a weird manner, and said tightly: "I don't know what those ministers think, he just messes around like that, and they believe it." ”
"Then why don't you stop it?!" Shen Feihong angrily reprimanded him.
"If I stop it, if it works, do I need to run here to spit out my bitterness with you?" Liu Monian's face was unconvinced.
"Then you can't just let him rush alone, although the Emperor of Western Chu is already old, but he was in the limelight back then, and the king of Western Chu County was defeated, he will definitely have some defense." Shen Feihong clenched his fists, his face full of worry.
Liu Mo Nian glanced at him disappreciatively, "What you think, can the emperor not think of it?" ”
Shen Feihong glanced at him, agreeing with his words in his heart, but a look of disdain appeared on his face, "In your opinion, then why did he personally lead the troops to attack Xichu?" ”
When this kind of guess is Junyi, he still has to rely on Liu Monian.
He finally got to the point, Liu Monian lowered his voice, and the person moved closer, "I think, is it related to the queen's mother?" ”
"What does it have to do with the Queen's Mother? She's still pregnant with a dragon vein! Shen Feihong unconsciously raised his volume, and was slapped a few times by Liu Mo Nian before he reacted.
"I heard from the palace people that when the emperor returned to Yanjing the day before yesterday, he didn't go to see the emperor's mother, or the queen's mother went to the imperial study to find him by herself." He frowned, and lowered his voice again, "Could it be that the people of Qin Tianjian slapped him again, so that he didn't want to see the queen mother and the child in her womb?" The emperor's mother is about to give birth, but it's only a matter of one or two months. ”
After speaking, Liu Monian's face changed.
"Qin Tianjian these bastards!" Shen Feihong even pounded the stone table hard, and as soon as he finished beating it, a burst of pain came from the back of his hand, and he endured it without screaming.
"Still, that's all my guess." Liu Monian leaned back and sat up straight.
Shen Feihong glanced at him, remembered Yan Shiqing, who saved him that day, and suddenly realized: "By the way, could it also be related to Yan Shiqing in the palace?" ”
This point was missed by Liu in the last years, his eyebrows flashed, and he slowly spoke, "Maybe it's because of Qin Tianjian and Yan Shiqing." ”
If that's the case, they'll figure it out.
"Anyway, people have gone to Xichu now, I just hope that the emperor can return safely, and the queen mother can give birth to a dragon son safely."
Liu Monian sighed.
......
Nangong Yan sat on horseback, followed by thousands of troops.
After Yu Qiqi left last night, Lu Yusheng entered his imperial study, Nangong Yan thought that he was going to take the child in Yu Qiqi's womb again, so he wanted to drive him away, who knew that he bowed to him and said: "The emperor will listen to the ministers first." If the emperor really wants the queen to give birth to a dragon son safely, he needs to leave Yanjing during the time when the queen mother is about to give birth, so as to keep the mother safe.
The emperor is a dragon, and if the two dragons fight, there will be a loss. The minister is afraid that when the time comes, not only will the child in the queen's womb not be saved, but even the queen's mother will be in danger. ”
At that time, he was still immersed in the words that Concubine Yi said, and he was still bored about Yan Shiqing's entry into the palace to protect Yu Qiqi, and Lu Yusheng's words made him even more upset.
He didn't believe all the words he said before, but now that Yu Qiqi is about to give birth, he can't take this risk, if he really responds to what Lu Yusheng said, then she and the child will be in danger, and he will really regret it.
After thinking about it, he still decided to believe Lu Yusheng and leave Yanjing.
It just so happened that Emperor Xichu wanted to return the corpse of the king of Xichu, so he directly led his troops to attack Western Chu and avoid the days when Yu Qiqi was in the pen.
"Your Majesty, do you want to stop and rest?"
Vice General Liu, who was beside him, reminded him, and he realized that it was dark. He narrowed his eyes and replied, "Set up camp on the spot." ”
When he went back to Xichu this time, he didn't need to be in a hurry like he went back to the western border, so he followed Vice General Liu's wishes.
At night, when he leaned on the back of his hand and supported his forehead with one hand to pretend to sleep, there was a noise outside, and then Vice General Liu ran in from outside and bent down to report to him, "Your Majesty, there is a woman mixed in the barracks!" People have been caught! ”
Nangong Yan's eyes fell on the camp tent, and the shadow of a woman being escorted by several small soldiers was reflected in the camp tent, and the woman was still struggling desperately.
"Bring it in and have a look."
Afraid that it was a spy sent by Xichu, Nangong Yan opened his mouth and said.
Vice General Liu nodded slightly, and then shouted back: "Bring it in!" ”
Suddenly, a few small soldiers walked in outside, holding this woman in their hands, the woman lowered her head, her hair was messy, and she seemed to be holding something in her hands.
Nangong Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked her, "Who are you?" ”
"The general spares his life, the folk girl is from Xichu, and she will come to this mountain to pick herbs on weekdays, but today she accidentally broke the jade lock on her body, so she ran back to find it!"
The woman's body trembled slightly, and she buried her head low.
Her voice was soft, but panicked.
Nangong Yan took a closer look at what she had spread out her hands and put on her palms, it was really a jade lock. Besides, if she is really a spy sent by Western Chu, she will not say that she is from Western Chu.
However, he was still not at ease.
"Look up." His eyes tightened, and there was a bit of majesty in his voice.
The woman's body trembled violently, and then slowly raised her head, and in an instant, Nangong Yan froze as if she had been struck by lightning, and the woman in front of her looked very similar to Lu Yin, her cheeks were clear and lovely, especially those watery eyes, and even her eyebrows and eyes were full of pity.
"You, what's your name?"
Nangong Yan's hand unconsciously clenched the edge of the table.
The woman pursed her lips, obviously staring at him in astonishment, "The maid's name is Lan'er." ”
"Lan'er..."
Nangong Yan's eyes were slightly dark, and a burst of bitterness welled up in his eyes. Seeing her, it's like seeing Midori, if she is given another chance, will she still do those things that betray him?
Vice General Liu didn't look right, along the way, Nangong Yan's face had always been cold, and when was it as weird as it is now.
He took the courage and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how long it will take to attack Xichu this time before I can capture Xichu, and there is no one around you to take care of you, so it is better to leave this Lan'er girl by your side to take care of you." "He blames himself for being able to look at his master's face, and this time, he also wants to behave well in front of Nangong Yan and strive to be promoted to another official and a half-position.
Nangong Yan stared at Lan'er tightly, as if he didn't hear what he said.
"It's your blessing to stay by the emperor's side and serve, thank you soon!" Vice General Liu hurriedly scolded Lan'er, who was kneeling on the ground.
"You, you want to attack Xichu? I can't stay with you! As soon as Lan'er heard the news that they were going to attack Xichu, her face immediately changed, and Fang Cai's panic faded a little.
"I didn't expect it, it's still a backbone."
Her reaction aroused Nangong Yan's interest.
The green chant back then was also like this. Therefore, when he learned the news that Yu Qiqi was going to marry into the East Palace, he had a bad temper with him and left the East Palace.
"You are Yanjing people, I don't do things for the people who attack my own people!" She twisted a pair of watery eyes, and the light in them was full of unyielding.
"It's up to you." After that, he raised his eyes and looked at Vice General Liu, "People, I stayed." ”
A smile immediately appeared on Vice General Liu's face, he had made a mistake, Nangong Yan could take a fancy to the person he brought back, and he simply made him pick up a big bargain.
Soon, he retreated with the few soldiers in the tent.
Nangong Yan got up from the bench and walked behind the screen, "Come here, change my clothes." ”
Lan'er was still kneeling on the ground, looking at the soldiers guarding outside the camp, she gritted her teeth, and had to slowly walk behind the screen, reaching out to help Nangong Yan untie her clothes.
Staring at the face in front of him, several times, Nangong Yan felt that she was Lu Yin, but those eyes were full of strangeness, when he walked his legs into the bath tub, he grabbed Lan'er's hand and pulled her into the bath tub, she screamed, Nangong Yan ignored her struggle, and pulled off her clothes hard, her back was smooth, there was no trace at all!
He frowned, his eyes darkened for a moment, and in an instant he returned to normal.
Vice General Liu, who was guarding outside the camp tent, heard the sound of movement inside, and the whole person jumped up, the emperor's progress is really fast enough, it seems that there is hope for this promotion!
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
Lan'er was suddenly pulled into the bath bucket by him, accidentally drank a few sips of water, and choked several times.
Raising her eyes, facing Nangong Yan's cold eyes, she hurriedly pulled her clothes and walked out of the bathtub.
She stood on the edge of the tub, and at first she didn't feel cold, but after standing for a while, her body was still wet, and her body couldn't help but shiver.
After Nangong Yan asked her to serve her after bathing, she didn't care about her anymore and let her tremble.
She glanced at the sweat towel he had used, gritted her teeth, but still couldn't help but use it to wipe her body, until the second half of the night, when her eyelids closed and she fainted to the ground.
Nangong Yan opened his eyes and looked at Lan'er, who hugged his arms with his hands, even if he endured the wet cold, he didn't open his mouth to beg him, he hooked the corners of his lips, called in a small soldier, took Lan'er down, and asked him to take the military doctor to see her.
At noon on the second day, when Lan'er woke up, she found herself lying in a carriage, the carriage was moving forward, she lifted the curtain and saw Nangong Yan sitting on horseback in front of her, she frowned, reached out and touched her forehead, it was no longer hot.
She sighed slightly, holding the jade lock tightly in her hand, and followed the Yanjing army towards Western Chu.
After a two-day schedule, the army arrived in Xichu, and in the past two days, Lan'er has been guarding peacefully, and has not found a way to escape.
After they arrived in Xichu, she couldn't help but plead with Nangong Yan, "Please let me go back." ”
Nangong Yan was reviewing the folds in his hand, and after he left, all the court affairs in Yanjing still had to be dealt with. He didn't raise his eyes, but said slowly, "You've followed us all the way, do you think I'll let you go back?" ”
"I promise not to report you to the Western Chu Army!" She raised her palm, wanting to swear to God.
Looking at her innocent appearance, Nangong Yan couldn't help but raise her head, "I can't trust you." ”
"I've never repented of what I've said, and I really won't denounce you." There was anxiety on her face, but she didn't seem to be afraid of him at all, and she didn't have the fear she had before.
"Is there anyone else in your family?"
Glancing at the jade lock she had been wearing around her neck, Nangong Yan opened her mouth to ask her. His eyes fell on her white and tender neck, and he was slightly stunned and looked away.
Perhaps sensing his slightly hot eyes, Lan'er tightened her clothes with her hand before replying, "There is also a mother, her health is not very good, so I go to the mountains every day to pick herbs..."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Nangong Yan's hand had already grabbed her wrist and pulled it forward, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Lan'er struggled in front of him.
He lowered his head and looked carefully at the hands in the palms of his hands, which were indeed covered with calluses, and they were not at all as tender as those among the women in the boudoir.
"Don't worry, your mother will send someone to take care of her." The exploration in Nangong Yan's eyes dissipated, let go of his hand, and returned to her faintly.
"But..."
Lan'er still wanted to refuse, but was scolded by Vice General Liu, "It's your blessing to stay by the emperor's side and serve!" ”
She gritted her teeth, and her face was unconvinced, but she didn't talk back after all.
Nangong Yan's corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of her appearance, but he felt funny, and unconsciously hooked the corners of his lips. Vice General Liu saw the joy at the corner of Nangong Yan's lips, and immediately made up his mind about this Lan'er.
When Emperor Xichu learned of Nangong Yan's arrival in Western Chu, he immediately ordered him to return the body of the king of Western Chu to him.
Nangong Yan told the messenger who came to report the news and asked the Emperor of Western Chu to cede two cities for him to rest, otherwise the corpse of the king of Western Chu would be hung on the gate of Western Chu.
As soon as the envoy of Xi Chu heard him say this, his face immediately darkened, he humiliated them Xi Chu with medicine!
But now that he saw his 100,000 army, he could only go back and return his original words to Emperor Xichu.
Emperor Xichu slapped the dragon table, and Long Yan was furious, "You go back and tell him that I am willing to cede two cities to him, and ask him to return the body of the prince of the county at noon tomorrow!" ”
"Yes!"
The envoy listened to the order, immediately retreated, and ran to Nangong Yan again.
Emperor Xichu sat on the dragon chair, letting the attendants around him help him rub his back shoulders, is the huge loess of Xichu going to be destroyed in his hands?
Nangong Yan took advantage of his weakness in Western Chu and led his troops to attack, he already knew it in his heart, but now he had to take the body of the king of Western Chu back and bury it well.
Two cities, nothing to him. It's just that I'm afraid that when he captures Xichu, he will get not just two cities, but the entire Xichu!
Although Western Chu has made deployments, it is not the 100,000 army brought by him Nangong Yan, and now that the court is weak, all the people who can lead the troops to fight are in the king of Western Chu, and once he collapses, most of Western Chu will follow.
"Father! Erchen can lead the troops to deal with Nangong Yan! ”
Suddenly, Tang Yizheng, who had just turned fifteen, walked in from outside the hall and stood in front of Emperor Xichu with a straight body. He ascended to the throne when he was over thirty years old, and under this knee, there was only a pair of children, the son was born of the queen, and the woman was born of the concubine, and now standing in front of him was his only prince.
Emperor Xichu's eyes were covered with a layer of light by the emperor who suddenly appeared, he was stunned, and then made up his mind, "Okay!" Zheng'er, the father and emperor of Western Chu will always be handed over to you, if you can calm the war this time, it can be regarded as a contribution to the people of Western Chu! ”
"Father, the son hopes to repel the talented wolves, tigers and leopards in Yanjing, and return Xichu to a stable place!" As for this country, he doesn't value it so much in his eyes.
"When your imperial uncle's corpse is brought back, you will lead the troops to protect the safety of Xichu!" Seeing that Tang Yizheng could stand up at this juncture, Emperor Xichu's heart was very gratified.
"Father, my son-in-law will send someone to observe their movements!" After he finished speaking, he hurried out, not wanting to delay for a moment.
Emperor Xichu looked at his body that was slowly covered by the light, and his eyes were a little more azure.
Nangong Yan didn't expect that Emperor Xichu would be so simple, he said that he wanted two cities, so he really asked him to exchange the corpse of the king of Xichu.
Squinting his eyes, after he got the title deed of the city land in the hands of the envoy, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to carry the coffin containing the king of Xichu County and put it in front of him.
The envoy called the Western Chu army behind him and asked them to bring back the body of the king of Western Chu.
Lan'er watched the Western Chu Army carry the corpse away ignorantly, and her eyes were blank.
"What? Are you reluctant? ”
Nangong Yan turned around and was about to walk towards the tent, when he glanced at her who was still standing still, and choked her.
"No, I just think that our emperor of Western Chu treats the king of Western Chu very well, and would rather divide the two cities than exchange his body back. Is the life of those people worse than a corpse in his eyes? ”
Suddenly, the tip of her nose was sour, and her eyelashes were wet.
Nangong Yan was stunned, he didn't expect that the woman in front of him, who was not yet fifteen years old, would actually have such feelings.
He still smiled bitterly, he cared about what she did, she was just a person who stayed by his side for the time being, and then withdrew his eyes, and left her alone.
......
Before leaving, Yan Shiqing went to meet Yu Qiqi, her mood didn't seem very good, maybe it was related to Nangong Yan's departure from Yanjing City.
"Seventh sister, I want to go back and leave with my mother and grandmother." Yan Shiqing sat in front of her and said softly.
"Well, be careful on your way."
Although Concubine Yi is his biological mother, she can't forget what she did to Yu Qiqi at the beginning, if it weren't for her, the Empress Dowager would not have died so tragically.
"Don't work too hard, it's almost time to give birth." Yan Shiqing's face was worried, and his eyes were slightly sick.
"The doctor said that the day of delivery was at the end of December, and now it is less than two months." There was a bit of amazement in her words.
"If there is a need for me, you can send me a letter." Nangong Yan was not in the palace, and he didn't know if she could survive it.
"Don't worry, I'll survive for him." Thinking of the child in her belly, Yu Qiqi's face was covered with a layer of tenderness.
"Okay."
Yan Shiqing nodded, and sat with her for a while before leaving for the road.
Concubine Yi originally wanted to go to Fengluan Palace to say a few words to Yu Qiqi, but was stopped by Yan Shiqing, he didn't want her to be stimulated in any way.
After the three of them had left the palace, Ah Jian walked in from outside and told her, "Princess, the prince and the two ladies have left the palace." ”
"Did you tell him?" She asked, looking at Aji.
"The slave and maid have already said that the prince knows in his heart that he will bypass the emperor's army." Ah Jian added her a glass of water before slowly returning to her.
"Hmm."
Yu Qiqi nodded.
She didn't dare to tell Yan Shiqing in person, for fear that he would be suspicious in his heart and would think that Nangong Yan left Yanjing City because of him.
But in fact, when Ah Jian told him, he thought of this, but if he ran to Nangong Yan again, he would only cause trouble for Yu Qiqi, so he gave up this idea, and only took Concubine Yi and Wu Lian back to Nanzhao with peace of mind.
A month later, it was the beginning of December, and the last month was the most critical month for Yu Qiqi. In Fengluan Palace, charcoal fire was burning, but she dared to burn too strongly, for fear that the charcoal fire would hurt the dragon in her belly.
Zhao Niang asked the Inner Court Division to make a few mink blankets, and after the winter, she covered Yu Qiqi every day to keep her warm.
However, she was more sleepy in winter than in summer, and she didn't go out of Fengluan Palace much.
Chu Peiyu was guarding outside the Fengluan Palace day and night, looking at the red walls and green tiles in the palace, he didn't feel that the days passed quickly.
It wasn't until Ah Jian brought a cup of hot tea to him that he suddenly realized that it was already winter, and Nangong Yan had also left Yanjing City for a whole month.
