Chapter 196: Xiu Ying

Since it is said to be a "rush performance", Pillow Spring does not dare to delay. Thinking that there were relatives of the emperor on the left and right, there was nothing to avoid, so he hurriedly announced that he would meet the eldest prince.

The eldest prince braved the drizzle and hurried in, and his whole body was moistened by the rain. When he entered the door and opened the curtain, he saw the crowd inside, and he was a little unsure whether to speak or not. Seeing his hesitation, Pillow Chun realized in his heart, and said with his head bowed: "This wife and daughter of Lord An, although they are not related by blood, it stands to reason that you should call your aunt and cousin." ”

The eldest prince understood the meaning of Pillow Spring, and greeted each other with the Li family and Xiuying. Only then did he take out a warm feather letter from his sleeve and hand it to Pillow Chun: "Queen Mother, the war in front of the Privy Council is urgent. ”

When Zhu Chun heard it, he also knew that it was an important matter, so he hurriedly stood up, took the letter and looked at it at a glance.

The letter came from the Duke of Longguo, and the second battle of the Battle of the Southern Xinjiang Plain had begun. The complex topography of the border between Funan and Great Wei, and the continuous rain during the rainy season led to flash floods. The flood broke through the embankment and rushed through the camp, and the Wei army was unexpected, and was surrounded and annihilated by the Funan army guerrillas overnight.

Mu Beiyi saw the decline of the military situation, broke the cauldron and sank the boat, and drove the horse forward in order to boost morale. One day he received arrows in his abdomen and back, but he still refused to remove his armor.

Pillow Chun's heart sank when he read it, and he shook his body slightly while holding on to the table, only to feel a faint throbbing pain in his lower abdomen.

The eldest prince saw that Zhuchun's lips turned pale in a flash, so he hurriedly went to help her, and blamed himself: "It's all because the sons are not good!" Only the queen mother was frightened, and she was ...... Quick Transfer......"

Xiu Ying hurriedly stepped forward, only lightly pinched Zhu Chun's wrist, and then said: "It's okay, Your Highness doesn't have to worry, it's just that I was suddenly frightened, and I had a slight fetal pain." This is due to the heat, and it can't be healed quickly for a while, and the queen's aunt needs to rest in bed for two days. Now, you should boil the gardenia, skullcap, angelica, scrophularia, and eucommia ulmoides in boiling water to take it, and it will eliminate the disease in a few days. ”

The eldest prince turned his head to look at Xiu Ying, half convinced, and hurriedly helped Zhu Chun to the couch.

The pillow spring is moving, and it is even more difficult to breathe in the heart. Fortunately, Xiu Ying knows some medical skills, and she has nothing to diagnose with the imperial doctor, so she takes care of the pillow spring back and forth, which is better.

Although An Zhengze can't stay for a long time, Li, as the eldest sister-in-law of Pillow Chun, is also a close companion. With the care of his relatives, his heart was slightly open, and he stopped the painful fetal disease after most of the day.

Before dawn the next day, the eldest prince sent another urgent message from the Privy Council. Because of the experience of the previous car, he waited for Pillow Spring to wake up, and then slowly said it to Pillow Spring.

Due to a rainy season, the terrain of the Khmer country is steep, with barren mountains and cliffs everywhere, and mud and rocks flowing with the rain. The two sides were beaten to each other, Mu Beiyi took over the third battle with injuries and armor, and the battlefield was full of corpses, and the smell of rancid was everywhere.

Side by side, Wang Mu Yongyue proposed to set fire to the mountain, but it could not be implemented due to continuous rain. After several days, the battle situation was not optimistic, and even God did not favor Dawei. Funan and Great Wei have a grudge to destroy the country, and it is said that they only die but do not live when they start a war, and they are extremely brave. In the letter, the Duke of Long Guo said that the new king of Funan must be the vanguard, so Mu Beiyi was also stubborn and refused to give in.

The monarchs of both countries personally lead their troops, and they must be at the forefront of the army, fighting at the tip of the sword.

Pillow Chun lay on the couch, looking at the unpolished sky, frowned and thought about it, and said worriedly: "At such a season, the spring rain is abundant, and the corpses piled up on the battlefield are the most susceptible to the plague. Your Majesty is more likely to get sick if he is pierced by a sharp weapon but does not remove his armor. "I'm anxious to think about this," the palace thought, it was better to ask His Majesty to return to Beijing first, and then make a decision on the rest of the matter. ”

The eldest prince was also full of worries, and said: "The king side by side is also the same intention, and he persuaded his father three times before the front line. Father said that now that the war is a little sluggish, my Great Wei retreat is to admit defeat. The soldiers couldn't retreat, so his father refused to retreat, saying that if he retreated, he would lose the face of the son of the Mu family. Long Guogong also repeatedly advised, but it still didn't work. ”

Pillow Chun gritted his teeth: "He is not confused when he is an old bone, and he still learns what to do with the backbone of the young man." Confused! Smart one, do you want to be stupid for a while?! ”

The eldest prince did not dare to answer.

Pillow Spring is afraid of war, and her second brother died on the battlefield. In fact, in her heart, the national feelings are not so strong, but she has to protect her siblings and relatives. If Mu Bei is easy to die, the hard-won peace of the Great Wei Kingdom may be overturned. She can not love this man, but the people of the Great Wei Kingdom cannot live without a Ming Jun.

After thinking about it again and again, he still stood up, asked the eldest prince to serve the pen and ink, and wrote a sincere letter of personal request. After thinking about it again, he reluctantly got up and changed his clothes, and walked out with his stomach in his hands.

Seeing this, Su Bai was horrified, and hurriedly stopped: "Niangniang's fetal qi is moving, you must not work, what is this going to do!" ”

Pillow Chun's eyes were resolute, he held the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the court." ”

When the ministers heard that Pillow Spring received a military plane and was sick in bed, they were already preparing to go to court. The sound of the chamberlain singing and saluting interrupted everyone's pace. I saw Pillow Chunsu turn out from behind the bead curtain with his face facing the sky, and with a touch of the phoenix robe, he sat on the dragon chair.

The noisy voices of criticism from everyone reached the ears of Pillow Chun.

The king of Linzi turned pale, took a step forward, and said: "A woman's appearance is a woman's virtue, how can the queen's mother show your foreign ministers without embellishment......

"Shut up." Pillow Chun's face was gloomy, enduring the discomfort of pregnancy, and his hand tightly grasped the armrest of the beast's head on the dragon chair.

The king of Linzi suddenly received a scolding, it was the first time he saw such a pungent among the aristocratic women, and he was caught off guard and stunned in place.

Kawasaki Hou said: "Even if the queen mother is unwell, she can't sit on His Majesty's dragon chair. The dragon chair is the symbol of the Son of Heaven, and the pattern on it is the ...... of the Ninety-Five"

"Then you will kneel and bow to this dragon chair, praise me for the longevity of Great Wei Fuze, and hand over your wives and daughters to the short axes and big knives of the Funan people!" Pillow Chun pressed his hand on his lower abdomen, his voice was hoarse, and he scolded fiercely.

The ministers were suddenly silent.

Pillow Chun raised his eyebrows lightly and said slowly: "What time is it now?" Should he order the chamberlain to move a small couch, come over to cover the curtain, put on soft pillows, and flowers, and then hang the beaded curtain, and sing a salute to the ministers? She sneered sarcastically, "Every moment, every moment, there are soldiers in southern Xinjiang who are killed. Your majesty, with a long arrow wounded in the abdomen and back, slashed in the mud full of corpses. But you tell Hongu about the makeup on your face and the pattern of your chairs. At the moment of national crisis, who is the cowardly and incompetent one now?! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down in response, and the court was as quiet as if dead.

After a while, An Qingshan arched his hand: "The queen mother, please command." ”

Pillow Chun glanced at the eldest prince: "King Qin said." ”

The eldest prince gently wiped away the cold sweat on his head, stepped forward to take off his robe and played: "The Privy Council is here, and the battle ahead is urgent." In the second and third battles on the plains, our Wei army was defeated by Funan. Now my father is injured and in danger. Side by side, the king had a plan to set fire to the mountain and force out the forest to support the southern army, but it could not be implemented in the rainy season for months, and it was the time to be anxious. ”

Pillow Chun threw the letter in his hand on the ground: "Your Majesty is seriously injured and refuses to remove your armor, who dares to take the handwritten letter from the palace and go to the front line to persuade Your Majesty to return to Beijing?" ”

The courtiers looked at each other, all of them having some doubts. It's simple to be a lobbyist, and to persuade the emperor with the queen's handwritten letter, which has some of the following implications. The Son of Heaven has always been suspicious, taboo to form a party, and he has a big temper when he wants to fight outside, if he doesn't say it clearly, I'm afraid ......

There was some silence in the Golden Luang Palace.

"The minister is invited to go." A voice came.

"Brother......" Pillow Chun muttered, shaking his head slightly.

An Zhengze lifted his robe and knelt down to the pillow spring: "The queen mother Mingjian, the minister is the secretary of the Chinese book, and he should draft documents to issue edicts, and it is also suitable to go to deliver letters." ”

Pillow Chun raised his eyebrows: "The front line is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes." ”

"The minister's own brother, who was martyred for the country, died in Yanbei." An Zhengze suddenly raised his head, and his voice was clear, "The son of the An family dares to take the lead for the country, so the minister dares to take over this position." ”

"But ......"

This is morality. The younger sister of the minister. An Zhengze gave up his hand, "Chen's sister is the queen of the Great Wei Kingdom, and her husband is fighting for the country. Since childhood, the minister is not good at riding horses and archery, he can only read, and he can't kill the enemy army for the country! Now that the husband of the minister's sister-in-law is in danger of falling to the court, the minister should advise. The queen's handwritten letter, the minister is a brother and a relative, and it is most suitable to go and persuade His Majesty. This is the truth. ”

"......" Pillow Spring still refused, so he felt a little guilty. She frowned and said in a deep voice, "It's because you can't ride a horse and shoot arrows because of the Zhongshu Shilang......"

Therefore, read more books in order to speak and be a lobbyist. Ten years of hard study in the cold window is a day of preaching, which is the backbone of the reader. An Qingshan suddenly stepped forward," the old minister seconded. ”

Pillow Chun looked at her father and brother who almost cut open her chest and bladder in the court, her eyes were sour, and she cried and said, "...... Quasi-play. ”

The days when An Zhengze went to the Funan battlefield were very difficult, and he could hardly sleep at night.

On the Cold Food Festival, the rain stopped, and the sky was still overcast. The Privy Council came to the military report, and Mu Beiyi received the letter from Pillow Chun, but after all, he listened to the persuasion, was seriously injured and went into battle, and immediately fell unconscious. The commander of the forbidden army escorted the Son of Heaven to the north, and succeeded Wang Yongyue as the commander side by side, and prepared to start the fourth fierce battle with the Funan army on the edge of the border.

At this moment, the Wei army was unfamiliar with the terrain, and it was defeated and retreated, and nearly half of them were killed and wounded. And in Funan, there are still 100,000 troops left.

Pillow Chun heard that the eldest brother was fine, and although Mu Beiyi was seriously injured, he had already walked on the way back to Lejing under the escort of the commander of the forbidden army. The heart hanging in her throat was finally back in her stomach. I have only been asleep for a few days, and my whole body and complexion have gradually improved.

At least when you see Mu Beiyi, don't lose a face. It's very hard to listen to the government, it's too hard, it's better to leave such a thing to him. He did it with ease, and he was the material of a king who was sent down from heaven. The regent country is so complicated, and she has to deal with a group of old men with great effort, so she doesn't want to do such a drudgery.

In this way, he felt a trace of family affection for each other, and Pillow Chun felt a little self-deprecating. She used to be like a shoe, but in the year of war, she was precious. The two walked alone in the world, and the past of each other's company was vivid.

On the twentieth day of April, Pillow Spring received a secret letter. This letter was encrypted several times, and it was uploaded to Zhuchun from the hands of the forbidden guards of the court without passing through the previous court, or even through the Privy Council, or through the hands of any courtiers.

This is a handwritten letter from Mu Yongyue, and Pillow Chun recognizes his handwriting. There are only these few words in the whole letter - the queen respects: The Son of Heaven is infected with tetanus, and he is waking up less and less.

After reading the pillow spring, it was like being thundered in an instant.

At this time, there are still three days before Mu Beiyi returns to Beijing.

There is no medicine for tetanus, and Pillow Chun does not understand medical science, but he knows that it is a lifelong disease. Either because he was injured by a sharp weapon and refused to remove his armor, or because the south was full of corpses, and the rain on the battlefield was the most susceptible to diseases.

This letter was quietly passed on to Pillow Chun by Mu Yongyue through the commander of the forbidden army, three days before Mu Beiyi returned to Beijing. The Son of Heaven is waking up less and less, and the world will be in chaos. Did he remind the royal family that they should be vigilant as soon as possible, or did he want to be prepared in his heart? Such a cold, so sensible and indifferent letter.

Therefore, Pillow Spring is a person who is afraid of war and greedy for peace. At this moment, An Lingjun's helplessness and horror when he entered the Xuanwu Gate entrenched in Zhuchun's heart. She looked at the four words "waking up less and less" in the letter in her hand, and her fingertips were terribly cold.

There is no medicine for tetanus.

Pillow Chun muttered again, his spirit was a little trance, and he held the pillar of Huangyuan Palace that carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and walked outside the courtyard.

Under the hazy sky, the shallow light of the sky sprinkled on her face, which made her feel a little more sleepy. In the courtyard with a lazy atmosphere in late spring, Li and Xiuying were turning flower ropes in the courtyard, and their laughter was like silver bells.

When Xiuying saw Zhuchun coming out, she shouted with a smile: "Aunt Queen is here, why don't you look good." ”

Pillow Chun looked at Xiuying, she was young and full of vitality, and suddenly seemed to have peeked through the mysteries of the world.

"Xiuying......" Pillow Chun called her.

Xiu Ying hurriedly threw the flower rope to help the pillow spring: "Aunt Queen, but you feel abdominal pain again?" These days of hard work are also resting. ”

"Xiu Ying, good girl, you are familiar with medical skills, do you know that tetanus can still return to heaven?"

Xiu Ying smiled: "Aunt Queen is really good at laughing, this is a dead disease, how can there be a way to return to heaven." Therefore, the blade that cut the umbilical cord of this baby must be carefully prepared, for fear that the rust will defile the blood and it will fail and die. As she spoke, she looked at Pillow Chun vigilantly, "Aunt Queen...... But what news disturbed the spirits? ”

Seeing that she was young but thinking so much, Pillow Chun calmed down a little, and laughed hard: "No ......" said but shed tears for some reason.

Li Shi came over with her skirt, took Zhuchun's hand, pressed her under the flower tree, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the queen mother is pregnant and thoughtful, and the same is true when the concubine is pregnant with Xiuying." ”

Pillow Chun nodded, gently brushed off the petals on the upper, and took a breath of turbidity. The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and the gods and Buddhas will look at it, and the fortune of the Great Wei State should not be like this. only said: "Yes, maybe I am pregnant and thinking a lot." ”
