It was only in the evening that the fire gradually stopped.

The place where the Nanliang army was stationed was devastated everywhere.

Sun Wen was the first to rush to the camp of the big tent, and the soldiers also searched separately, without missing the slightest clue, but the results were all one: "Your Majesty, I have searched all over the place, and there is no whereabouts of my wife." ”

"All those who remained escaped, except for Madame. They suspected that the arsonist was the Turkic prince Chahar. ”

She's the only one missing?

Was it because she slept too soundly or was the fire too strong? If I hadn't told her for almost the night last night, wouldn't she have slept so deeply?

Thinking of this, Sun Wen couldn't help but clench his fists: "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death." ”

After searching for a day and a night, the burned camp was re-opened, but there was still no clue.

Sun Wen was still unwilling, and his subordinates said: "Your Majesty, we have little grain and grass left, and we don't have a place to live, if we delay the time to return to Beijing, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Let me think about it."

Sun Wen walked in the camp in a gray coat, he looked all the way, hoping that the calamus would suddenly appear to surprise him, but he walked a few laps, but it was still fruitless.

It was getting darker and darker, and he had a sense of despair.

He returned to the soldiers, rode on the good horse, looked back behind him again, and said heavily: "The soldiers of Nanliang, return to Beijing immediately." ”

The new emperor drove the expedition in person, defeated the Turkic army of 100,000 with more than 30,000 troops and returned triumphantly, and the officials and people along the way cheered, and Sun Wen's prestige suddenly rose.

Queen Su Ruyuan joined hands with the harem concubines and personally greeted the emperor at the city gate.

It's even more beautiful.

It's just that Sun Wen has been gloomy all the time, which makes people faintly uneasy.

At first, everyone didn't know it, but later they learned that the calamus had been lost in the fire, and they all knew that they were silent.

The soldiers described it very realistically, it was early in the morning, and no one forgot that she was still in the big tent, and the fire was so big, the possibility of surviving was almost zero.

Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River, the smoke and rain are hazy, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful.

As soon as the iris entered the city, she felt the moist air rushing towards her, strange and familiar.

She's been away for eight years.

Eight years have polished away her former ignorance and youthfulness, and replaced it with sophistication and calmness.

Fortunately, in the future, she will no longer have to work hard, and she can live a leisurely life of sitting and watching the clouds roll up and the flowers bloom and fall.

In the secret place of Taihu Lake, one of them is the mansion of calamus.

She knocked softly, and before long someone came to open it for her.

The door opened, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

The woman's appearance obviously did not change much, and Calamus recognized it at a glance and cried, "Mother." ”

Mrs. Tang was a little excited, and grabbed Calamus's hand: "Is that you?" Calamus? ”

Calamus smiled tiredly: "It's me." ”

After running around for several days in a row, she vomited several times a day because of the bumps, and her whole face was yellow and thin. When he entered the city, he didn't even have the strength to pull the reins, and let the horse run away.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Mrs. Tang asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Is it unwell? Come in and rest. ”

"It's probably going to be so tiring to run around for days on end." Calamus didn't have time to appreciate the elegance and tranquility of the mansion, so she was helped back to her room by Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang said: "I didn't dare to recruit a maid for fear of trouble." ”

Calamus nodded: "We have our own hands and feet, and we can't afford to invite someone." ”

"You're in the dust, take a shower and go to sleep, right?"

"Mother, I'm sleepy and hungry."

Mrs. Tang was distressed and happy: "You wait, I'll prepare it for you." ”

Calamus looked around at the simple furnishings in the house, and was secretly satisfied, after eight years, it could be regarded as a small success, but he was also content.

Mrs. Tang brought hot water and asked the calamus to take a bath first, and when she finished washing, she sent glutinous eight-treasure rice.

When the iris smelled it, she felt uncomfortable and leaned down and retched.

"What's wrong with you, Calamus?"

Calamus covered her mouth: "Take this away." ”

"But this is your favorite glutinous eight-treasure rice before?"

Calamus waved her hand again and again: "I don't know why I want to vomit when I smell it, it's always like this these days, and I still vomit a lot after eating." ”

"How many days has this been the case?"

"It's been four or five days."

Mrs. Tang looked at her suspiciously, and said coldly: "Do you have it?" ”

Calamus suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Got it?" Impossible, right? ”

She just had a miscarriage two months ago, how could she get pregnant so quickly?

Seeing her frightened face, Mrs. Tang already knew a little in her heart: "Looking at your appearance, it is not an overnight thing with that person, so it is very possible to get pregnant." ”

"It shouldn't be that coincidental."

"Who is he?" Mrs. Tang asked, "Since you have a crush, why do you want to travel all the way back to Gusu?" Calamus, have you forgotten that your mother said that she hopes you will live a stable life? Finding a good family is better than anything else. ”

From beginning to end, Calamus didn't tell Mrs. Tang about her and Sun Wen.

"Mother, things are not what you think."

Mrs. Tang was speechless for a while: "He...... Could it be a married woman? There is no man in the palace, and you are a small palace maid...... If I'm going to be with you...... That man must be a minister of the court! Calamus, do you know that he can't be with you, so you insist on coming back? ”

"Mother, it's my own decision to come back. You don't have to be cranky. Seeing that she was suspicious, Calamus was more and more reluctant to tell her about herself and Sun Wen, "Find a doctor tomorrow to take a look, maybe we are thinking too much?" ”

"Hmm......" The young doctor squinted slightly, "Madame has been running around and tired lately?" ”

Calamus was used to seeing the behavior of the imperial doctor in the palace, and she felt very unaccustomed to the folk doctor: "Yes, I just came back from a long trip." ”

The doctor let go of her hand: "Since ancient Gusu, the scenery is good, and the lady came back just to raise the baby." ”

Calamus asked quietly, "Do I really have it?" ”

The doctor said while packing up his things: "Madame's pregnancy didn't take long after the miscarriage to get pregnant, and she has been running around and working hard, so the fetal gas is very weak. Mrs. must be cautious about the pregnancy, if it is gone this time, it will not be good for the child or Mrs. herself. ”

This young doctor is well versed in medicine, and Calamus can't help but secretly admire.

"I don't know what the doctor is called?"

"In the next surname Cheng, a single name is a Jun character."

Mrs. Tang said on the side: "You don't know, in Gusu, Dr. Cheng is a very famous doctor. "It took a lot of effort for me to bring him here." ”

"Really?" Calamus smiled slightly, "There may be many things to trouble Dr. Cheng in the future." ”

"Madame's words are serious." Cheng Jun shook his head, "Those who are doctors should do their best." ”

Calamus gestured: "Mother, send Dr. Cheng for me." ”

Mrs. Tang sent Cheng Jun out.

Calamus stroked her stomach and bit her lip gently.

Mrs. Tang turned back and said as she walked, "Calamus, I heard that Dr. Cheng just said that you had a miscarriage before?" ”

"Hmm."

"Why are you so careless?" Mrs. Tang complained very much, "Who is that man?" You've been pregnant twice and still can't be together? ”

"Mother, don't ask more."

"Did he give you ecstasy soup? You're going to hide it and keep it from people? ”

"I don't love him." Calamus said softly to Mrs. Tang, "I was forced to be with him out of desperation. ”

Seeing her say this, Mrs. Tang became sad: "Calamus, you are twenty-two years old, don't you have a favorite person?" ”

"There were, and then there weren't." Calamus comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"Calamus." Mrs. Tang took her hand, "Tell my mother, the man who made you pregnant, do you really have no feelings for him?" If you like him, your mother will make the decision for you and go to Beijing in person, even at the expense of entering the palace, and force him to marry you. ”

"Mother......" Calamus didn't know how to answer for a while, "I finally came out of the palace, why do you want to push me back?" ”

"Mother wants to see you live well."

"Aren't I living well now?" "Our money is enough to feed and clothe for the rest of our lives." ”

"What about this kid? Do you stay or not? ”

Calamus frowned slightly: "I haven't figured out what to do yet." ”

Mrs. Tang said bluntly: "To be honest, this is also a life." But if he stays, he will be a bitter child without a father. The choice is yours. ”

Seeing her mother so magnanimous, Calamus was very emotional: "Thank you, mother." ”

East Palace.

Since returning to the palace after winning the battle, Sun Wen has come to the East Palace for the third time.

It is the beautiful time of early spring, and the large sea of gladiolia flowers behind the house is waiting to bloom.

He stood at the window with his hands in his hands, silent for a long time.

Outside, Fu Rongbao led a person in: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is here." ”

Liu Xun had already walked in and knelt down to Sun Wen and saluted: "Weichen see the emperor." ”

Sun Wen turned around and asked, "How is it?" Is there a situation? ”

"The maid seems to have been prepared, and she packed all her belongings and sent them out of the palace."

"Where?"

"Gusu."

The drizzle is like a silver thread with a broken thread, and it continues to fall on the dazed Taihu Lake.

Cheng's pharmacy is like a market.

It wasn't until noon that Cheng Jun was done, and when he looked up, he saw Calamus wearing a cloak and standing alone on the side.

He stood up: "When did Madame come?" ”

Calamus approached: "I see that you have been busy, I am not embarrassed to bother you." ”

"I wonder what Madame is doing when she comes to our house?"

"Dr. Cheng, can you take a step to speak?"

Cheng Jun led her to the back room: "If you have anything to say, Madame, it's okay to say it." ”

Calamus casually looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, she said reassuringly, "I want to transfer the mansion under my name to you." ”

After thinking about it for a few days, she still couldn't make up her mind how to place the mansion, and she didn't make up her mind until this morning.

"Oh?" Cheng Jun was a little surprised, "What did Madame say?" Transfer the mansion to me? ”

"Yes." Calamus bit the word, "I can't hide it, because of some reasons, it is inconvenient for us to settle the family business, so I want to ask you for help." ”

"This ......"

Calamus laughed: "I only have a one-sided relationship with Dr. Cheng, and it is still the relationship between the patient and the doctor, and it is very presumptuous and abrupt to make such a request as soon as I open my mouth." But in Gusu, we have no relatives, and I hope that Dr. Cheng can understand my situation. ”

Cheng Jun frowned slightly: "Madame's request, I can't agree to it." ”

"I implore Dr. Cheng to think about it carefully, and if you are willing to agree, we can give you a corresponding reward."

Cheng Jun: "Madam, this is not a matter of remuneration. ”

Calamus shook her head: "In any case, I hope Dr. Cheng can help with this." ”

Cheng Junmian was embarrassed: "Let me think about it carefully and then give Mrs. an answer." ”

"Thank you, Dr. Cheng."

Walking out of Cheng's pharmacy, Calamus immediately got into a small sedan chair and went back to the mansion.

Mrs. Tang waited for a long time for her to come back, and when she heard the sound, she hurriedly came out to greet her: "Calamus, why did you go for so long?" ”

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house."

When she arrived at the house, Calamus took off her damp cloak, afraid that she would be cold, so Mrs. Tang gave her a stove in her hand: "You are pregnant, you can't bear the slightest bit of wind and cold." She sat down next to the calamus, "What do you say when you go to Cheng's pharmacy?" ”

"I don't remember where I heard or heard the name Cheng Jun, but I'm sure he has something to do with someone in the palace. ”

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"From his habit of prescribing prescriptions, the varieties of medicinal materials in the pharmacy...... If it weren't for the relationship with the people in the palace, a young person would not have done so much. ”

Mrs. Tang nodded: "Your analysis is reasonable, but whether he is a person in the palace or not has anything to do with us?" ”

Calamus stared at the curtain-like drizzle outside: "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if." ”

As long as it has something to do with the palace, her situation is in danger.

"So what do we do now?"

"Give it a try and he'll know." Calamus sighed softly, "But no matter what, I'm afraid we'll have to leave Gusu." ”

She has already left the palace and must not go back.

"Leaving Gusu? You've just returned. Mrs. Tang was a little apprehensive, "Didn't you say that you want to live in Gusu for the rest of your life?" Why do you have to leave in just a few days? ”

"Mother, I do like Gusu, but something will happen if I stay."

"Calamus, no, you're thinking too much."

"Mother, trust me. I can't go wrong. ”

Sun Wen wanted to bring the calamus back immediately, but happened to meet Su Ruyuan who was born prematurely, and he came and went and delayed for half a month before going to Gusu.

When he hurried to Gusu, he found that the building was empty.

The prefect of Gusu was sincerely afraid: "Weichen didn't know that the emperor was coming in person, and he missed the welcome, and he hoped that the emperor would forgive his sins." ”

Sun Wen almost popped out a few words from between his teeth: "What about her?" ”

Liu Xun has reminded the Gusu prefect: "What about the owner of this mansion? ”

The second prefect was puzzled: "The owner of this mansion? Seeing that Liu Xun had already come over with a look, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to inquire: "Why don't you go and inquire quickly?" ”

Liu Xun had already seen Sun Wen's depressed face, and knew that he was on fire, so he cautiously tested: "For this matter, the news is blocked from top to bottom, and Niangniang shouldn't know that the emperor will come." ”

Sun Wen looked around at the quiet and elegant environment, and looked like he knew it in his heart: "Don't you know that this is the ability of gladiolus?" She could smell the danger that was far away. ”

"This ......" Liu Xun has secretly wondered, "Weichen's understanding of Niangniang is really not as good as that of the emperor." ”

Sun Wen turned around: "What she owes me, I will let her pay back double." ”

After standing in the patio for a long time, Sun Wen didn't want to sit down and rest, so a group of people waited for the person sent to inquire to bring back the news.
