566 Never give up in your life
In this way, Nangong Shuyun went all the way unimpeded.
The terrain of the Li family's sphere of influence in the southwest is long and narrow, and it flows down the river, which is like a fish in water, and it is getting closer and closer to the Nanshu Kingdom day by day.
In the last hundred miles from the border of Nanshu, it no longer belongs to the Li family's sphere of influence.
But Nangong Shuyun didn't care, abandoned the ship, changed the land, and made a detour into Xiliang Kingdom, and the group pretended to be a caravan calmly, without the slightest obstacle.
Continuing to move forward, he entered the territory of Nanshu Kingdom in a few days.
Because he no longer had to worry about being pursued by Xiao Shaoxuan, Nangong Shuyun ordered and decided to temporarily enter the city to rest for the night.
When he arrived at the inn, Nangong Shuyun asked with a smile, "How is it?" The scenery of Nanshu is not bad, right? Isn't it very different from the scenery in the Central Plains? ”
Lu Ruoqing didn't answer, and she was not in the mood to enjoy any scenery.
Nangong Shuyun continued to talk to himself, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, if you are not in a hurry to send you back to the capital, you should settle down in this border town and let you give birth to the child peacefully." ”
Lu Ruoqing still didn't speak.
She now understands that Xiao Shaoxuan can't find her for the time being.
Moreover, her due date is approaching, and the child will be born soon, and she doesn't know if she will be safe and smooth.
But what about after giving birth successfully?
Nangong Shuyun will definitely take the child as a threat, and then coerce her to do something against her will, she has no way to refuse, it really hurts her head when she thinks about it.
Wait, well, ......, my stomach seems to hurt a little.
Lu Ruoqing bent down slightly, held her stomach, and kept inhaling heavily, "Ah, ......"
Nangong Shuyun stared at her carefully and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?" You really want to have a baby here. ”
"Mint ......" Lu Ruoqing's stomach hurt so much that she reached out and grabbed it, almost pulling the mint down.
Nangong Shuyun hurriedly helped her.
This time, Lu Ruoqing was actually different from usual, without any resistance.
Nangong Shuyun was stunned for a moment.
Hey? Does it really hurt a lot?
Lu Ruoqing looked down and gasped: "No! My amniotic water is broken, hurry up and ......, hurry up and call the midwife! ”
Nangong Shuyun followed her line of sight.
Sure enough, there was a puddle of wet liquid under her skirt, soaking through the bluestone slabs on the ground.
Nangong Shuyun probably also knew that a woman's delivery date was uncertain, and Lu Ruoqing could indeed give birth at any time this month, but now the amniotic water is broken.
Then ...... is really going to be produced!
Although it is not the time, it is now in the territory of Nanshu, not in the Central Plains, but in the sphere of influence, it is no problem to delay giving birth.
Nangong Shuyun immediately helped Lu Ruoqing to sit down, and then went out and instructed, "Go find two safe midwives to come over!" Now now, right away, hurry up! ”
"Yes." The guards hurried away.
In the room, Lu Ruoqing's stomach pain intensified again and again, and the interval was shortened again and again, so painful that she couldn't speak at all.
Mint has been panicking for a long time.
She is an unmarried little girl, where does she know how to give birth? Anxiously asked, "Princess, do you want to drink water?" I'll wipe your sweat ......"
Nangong Shuyun came in again and said, "If you bear with it, the midwife will be here soon." ”
Lu Ruoqing eased up, waited for a gap in the labor pain, and gasped: "I'm a doctor, and I know it in my heart." You just ask the midwife to come over and help, you go out first. ”
Nangong Shuyun thought about it, too, it is inconvenient to wait for a woman to give birth.
He looked at Lu Ruoqing, thought for a while, and said, "Don't play any tricks!" Give birth to a child well, and you will naturally be well fed. Don't think that I can't handle you without children, I have a way here......"
Lu Ruoqing was angry and painful, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”
Nangong Shuyun smiled angrily, "Okay, I'll get out, you have a good baby." ”
He didn't bother with Lu Ruoqing about this little temper.
After all, along the way, Lu Ruoqing was already very quiet and calm, but now the pain is terrible, and a little temper is nothing.
Besides, Nangong Shuyun desperately hopes that she will give birth safely.
With this child as a bargaining chip, not only can Lu Ruoqing, who can be coerced, be obedient, but in the future, he will face Xiao Shaoxuan, and he will have to take care of it.
---- the biological flesh and blood of the king of Zhenbei.
Nangong Shuyun hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his mind was racing, and he quickly sketched out a plan to steal the beam and change the pillar.
He went to find his henchman and instructed: "Go to the city immediately to buy a newborn baby boy, and buy it at a high price, I will be of great use in hurry!" ”
"Yes." The henchman immediately left.
Nangong Shuyun's eyes flashed with a dim and unknown light.
Wait a ......, no matter whether Lu Ruoqing gave birth to a man or a woman, tell her that she gave birth to a son! Then replace it with the baby boy she bought, and place her biological flesh and blood elsewhere.
In this way, you can really grasp this chip.
Nangong Shuyun couldn't help laughing.
Originally, he had prepared a lot of ways to make Lu Ruoqing obedient when he arrived in Nanshu Kingdom, but he didn't expect that he accidentally had a child as a bargaining chip, which worked better than other methods.
"The midwife is here! The midwife is here! There was a sound of rustling footsteps going upstairs.
Nangong Shuyun walked down head-on.
He stopped the two midwives, explained the plan in detail, and then said with a smile: "As long as you do this for me, one person will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver afterwards, are you willing?" ”
The two midwives were all bright-eyed when they heard this, and nodded again and again, "Yes, willing!" ”
Anyway, what the mother gives birth to has nothing to do with them, but two hundred taels of silver is real money!
You know, the usual delivery fee is not even two taels of silver.
Nangong Shuyun said again: "Be cautious, don't let the mother in bed know." If the news leaks, then not only will you not get the two hundred taels of silver, but you will also be beaten! ”
The two midwives were frightened, and hurriedly said: "Promise to do it, promise to do it!" ”
Nangong Shuyun waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”
After the two midwives entered the room, he glanced at his henchmen and made a motion to wipe his neck, "After the matter is over, clean it up for me!" ”
The henchman replied: "Understood." ”
These two midwives learned such a big secret, so naturally they couldn't keep it.
The bounty of two hundred taels of silver is just to coax them, so that they can be attentive when they deliver the babies.
A moment later, there was a baby's cry in the room, "Wow, wow, wow......"
A midwife was pleasantly surprised: "Born, born!" Congratulations to Madame, giving birth to a big fat boy. ”
Another midwife hurriedly answered, "Madam, rest in peace, let's go clean the little boy and bring it to you again." ”
The two of them moved quickly, hurriedly wrapped the child in swaddling clothes, and carried them to the side room.
Mint has always been worried about Lu Ruoqing, staring at the master, not even paying attention to whether the child is male or female, and he didn't expect that when the child was washed and sent back, it had already been dropped.
Anyway, the baby's appearance is ugly when it is born, and she doesn't look closely, so naturally she won't find anything strange.
And Lu Ruoqing was lying on the bed, sweating profusely, and she didn't know what the child looked like.
She looked sideways at the baby in the big red swaddling clothes, just as her own flesh and blood, red and wrinkled, and full of cuteness.
Mint also said happily: "Princess......, oh no, Miss, look, how cute the little boy looks." ”
Lu Ruoqing was extremely weak at the moment.
But she still reached out and touched the baby's face gently, which was slippery and tender, filling her heart.
Lu Ruoqing burst into tears, "Yes, you see how well he sleeps." ”
Nangong Shuyun came in from outside the door and said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”
The gentle look on Lu Ruoqing's face changed suddenly, her eyes were vigilant, and she projected it aggressively.
Nangong Shuyun smiled when he saw this, "Don't get excited! I didn't come to pick up the child and go, if I wanted to hug it, I would have asked someone to take it away. ”
Lu Ruoqing's face softened slightly.
She let Mint take a sip of tea to moisten her throat before she eased up and said, "I know, you want to use this child as a bargaining chip to blackmail me into doing things for you." ”
Nangong Shuyun sat quietly next to him, smiling silently.
Lu Ruoqing endured the sadness in her heart, and tried to smile and said, "I have a small request, I hope you can agree." ”
"You say." Nangong Shuyun looked like he was listening.
The tears in Lu Ruoqing's eyes continued to rise.
She endured and endured before she could continue, "Let me finish the confinement in this town, take care of my body, and let me watch the child safely full moon, so that I can rest assured." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Shuyun's eyes, "Huh? This is not a small request, but a big one. ”
Lu Ruoqing's hand hidden in the quilt clenched into a fist.
She pinched her palm hard, gritted her teeth and said, "You want me to help you with your errands, don't you give me a little benefit, a little sweetness?" It's really pushing me to be anxious, and I'm definitely going to mess up what you want to do. ”
"Yo, you're threatening me." Nangong Shuyun said with a smile.
"I'm tired." After Lu Ruoqing finished what she was going to say, she didn't want to talk nonsense, closed her eyes and said, "You go out and weigh it yourself, do you want to agree." ”
Nangong Shuyun's eyes flickered, and he suddenly got up and said, "You don't have to go out to weigh it, I promise you." ”
If other women dare to threaten him like this, let alone agree to the conditions, it's good not to give a hard meal.
But......
Lu Ruoqing is too scheming and has a city government, so she doesn't want to fight against her, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Nangong Shuyun turned around and went out.
Lu Ruoqing opened her eyes, and a large tear slid down her smooth cheeks.
She choked up sadly: "Shaoxuan, save my ......, save me and the child!" ”
The night was dark, and the stars were like a handful of rhinestones scattered in their hands, and the light flickered erratically.
On the far other side of the firmament......
Xiao Shaoxuan sat by the fire with a haggard face, holding a fine iron sword, looking at the dancing flames with a solemn face, and saw her voice and smile in a trance, which tugged at his heartstrings.
In his past and present lives, there was only one woman in his heart,...... Lu Ruoqing.
Ruoqing, where are you?
----Even if I want to go up to heaven and go into the Yellow Spring underground, I will find you."
