Chapter 70: You and Me
The woman on the soft couch had been asleep for three days, and her brows were furrowed on her white and haggard little face.
"Save my child" The woman muttered in her sleep, her voice was extremely low, but this faint sentence went straight into Mu Chun's determined mouth. He said he wanted to protect her, but now he can't even protect the child in her womb.
Mu Chun stepped forward and tucked the corners of the quilt for her, his eyes were full of pity.
"Lord" General Zhou came from outside, glanced at the sleep, and quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Princess, ...... she?"
Mu Chun resolutely stretched out his hand to signal him to silence, got up and walked out of the tent. When he left the palace, he sent a team of wolf troops with General Zhou to track the whereabouts of Ye Qiuji and others, and he took his soldiers and 3,000 wolf troops to the border to quell the chaos. Now looking at General Zhou's face, he already has a judgment in his heart.
"Didn't you catch anyone?"
"The subordinates were incompetent, although they found the hiding place of Ye Qiu Ji and the others, they still let them escape. However, there was a major discovery under the subordinates. ”
"Huh?" Mu Chun's eyes lit up and he turned around.
"The one who rescued Ye Qiu Halberd is like an old thief of Gu Yan who disappeared ten years ago."
General Zhou's words made Mu Chun stunned, his fists tightened unconsciously, and he never let go until his knuckles turned white.
"Gu Yan!?"
"Yes! The wolf soldiers found the paper scroll that Gu Yan had smoked in the post house where they were hiding. General Zhou said as he handed the half-burned paper scroll in his hand to Mu Chun.
"The master said this thing is called a cigarette! In the whole world, except for the old thief of Gu Yan, who would like to smoke! It seems that it can't be wrong, the old thief can't hide it and comes out again. Mu Chun's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he threw half of the cigarette butt in his hand into the wind, clenching his teeth: "Since he dares to come out, I will settle the old accounts with him." ”
"Lord, the princess is awake!"
The military doctor's words swept Mu Chun away, turned around and walked straight back to the tent.
"Qin'er, are you awake?" Mu Chun looked at Ai Qing, who was lying on the bed without saying a word, and stroked her pale little face in distress.
Ai Qing still didn't speak, and the two little hands under the quilt covered the flat lower abdomen, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out and cut into the bun. The gaze was empty and there was no look.
"Qin'er, we still have children." Mu Chun leaned over and kissed her in the corner of her eyes to comfort him, in fact, his heart was not painful!
Ai Qing looked at Mu Chun and sat up from the bed with a lonely expression, leaned on his arms and cried bitterly: "Our child is gone, he is obviously in my belly, I can feel his heart beating, but he is gone~~"
"Well, lie down." Mu Chunju's eyes were bloodshot when he heard her cry, and he wanted to help her lie back on the bed, but Ai Qing shook his head vigorously, and he could only let her lean on his arms, and his heart was as painful as burning.
In the middle of the night, Ai Qing finally closed her eyes, but she didn't sleep peacefully, and she said a lot of nonsense half-asleep. Mu Chun stayed by the bedside, for fear that she would be afraid if she woke up and couldn't see him.
Gu Sichen left silently, and General Zhou was also sent to continue tracking the whereabouts of Gu Yan and Ye Qiu Ji and others, and the military doctor was ordered to distribute the prepared medicinal materials for treating the plague to the people in the nearby cities, and the epidemic was finally controlled.
Since waking up, Ai Qing has been sitting on the bed with her knees crossed and calling Xu Feifei's name over and over again, but she can't hear any sound at all in her heart, and the sense of restraint and restraint that existed before because of having three souls has also disappeared. In addition to the stuffy discomfort in the lower body due to the miscarriage, this body seems to be reborn as if it has been reborn. But this feeling is more like a plunder for Ai Qing, and the soul has become empty and empty, as if it is going to disperse with the wind and sand of the desert.
When Mu Chunju came from outside the account, he saw Ai Qing leaning helplessly on the corner, and strode forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
After a while, Ai Qing raised the head buried in his lap and whimpered: "I have nothing." ”
"Good, you still have me, when you are well, this king will take you home." Mu Chun sighed deeply and hugged her into his arms, he wanted to protect the health of the world, but he couldn't even protect the most beloved woman in his arms.

For a month and a half, the wolf army continued to receive good news, and Lou Qi's cities were captured one after another. It wasn't until the black halberd took the bitten head of the old thief in Ye Yingcheng and put it in front of him that he ordered the wolf army to collect it.
Ai Qing already had some energy, and suddenly remembered that the emperor and queen who stayed in the palace ran out of the account without even having time to put on shoes.
"Lord Wang, my father and queen mother may be in danger."
Mu Chun turned around after listening to her words, looked down and saw her stepping on the yellow sand with her bare feet, picked her up horizontally and sent her back to the account, and gently patted the yellow sand on the soles of her feet before he said with relief: "Don't worry, I received the news half a month ago that I have sent the wolf army and the guards in the palace to rescue my father and queen mother back to the palace and place them in the cellar." Mu Tianji only thought that I had died in battle and had been the emperor in the palace for several days. ”
"That ......"
Ai Qing wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Mu Chundu.
"It's okay, let him have a few days of pleasure first, and when you are healed, we will go back and get back everything that belongs to us."
"I'm all right! Let's go back quickly, I'm always uneasy after not seeing my father and mother! Ai Qing still had palpitations when she thought of what happened last time.
"Is it really good?" Mu Chun Jue looked at her much thinner face, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and he saw her nod firmly, sighed and said, "It's okay!" Then we'll leave tomorrow, but if you feel unwell on the way, you must let me know. ”
"Good!" Ai Qing looked at Mu Chun with a tired face in front of her, and reached out to touch his eyebrows, she slept for half a month, and he stayed in front of her bed for half a month. During the day, he still has to command the wolf army to fight, and even if it is a steel and iron body, he is afraid that it will collapse.
"Can you sleep with me tonight?"
"Huh?" Mu Chun looked at her with an attached look on his face, forced a smile and replied: "Okay"
As soon as he lay down for a while, Ai Qing heard the even breathing beside him, he was so tired that he could fall asleep with a pillow. Through the moonlight, Ai Qing looked at his bleak face, and a sour tip of his nose slid down with a crystal liquid. She lost her child, Yang Xue and Xu Feifei also disappeared from this body, and now she is really the only one in this strange world.

Mu Chun left thousands of wolf soldiers to escort the Chiyun soldiers to Louqi to collect the evil poison, and ordered it to be burned on the spot after it was confiscated. After arranging many matters, he finally led the remaining more than 90,000 wolf troops to set off towards the capital.
After three days, the wolf army came with the news, Mu Tianji heard the news that he was still alive and rolled down from the dragon chair in fright, and hurriedly ordered the rebels to strengthen the defense inside and outside the city, but those rebels heard the news of Mu Chundu's return with the wolf army, and they lost their armor and fled without a fight.
Mu Tianji was desperate and could only ride a war horse to escape, but he was caught by the wolf army placed in the palace, and he was immediately so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and was thrown into prison by the guards who were driven away like a lost dog. Seeing that he would win without a fight, Mu Chun decided to send the accompanying wolf army to the cities where they were stationed, leaving only the three thousand wolf troops in the capital to return to the city together.
Lou Qi has existed in name only, and Ye Qiu Halberd and Gu Yan Lao Thief can't make any waves in the short term, so Mu Chun decided to call General Zhou back, and now the dynasty and the army need to be reorganized, and the old prince's party has been completely cleaned up, and many vacancies need to be filled, and General Zhou's civil and military skills are naturally the best candidates for the position of general.
When they arrived in the capital, the emperor and queen had been welcomed back to the palace, and Mu Chun decided to place the wolf army all over the capital and took Ai Qing straight into the palace gate.
Although she has been miscarryed for a month, Ai Qing still habitually reaches out to touch her lower abdomen, but every stroke reminds her that she has just lost a little life there. At this moment, she was about to enter the main hall, but she was a little hesitant, he would not know how much the emperor and queen attached importance to this child, how could she have the courage to tell them that the child was gone!
"Pure decision~~" Ai Qing turned his head to look at Mu Chun decision beside him, wanting to speak but not knowing how to say it.
Mu Chunjue already understood what she meant, and hugged her in his arms and said, "It's okay, my father and queen mother already know." ”
Looking down at her flat lower abdomen, she hesitated for a long time before she finally entered the palace.
