Chapter 67: I'm going to find him
Wave after wave of unsettled waves, the border city close to Lou Qi began to break out of the plague, all the way to the east, it is clear that Lou Qi has taken revenge to the surface. Above the court, the ministers put the blame on Mu Chundu, all saying that it was his previous battle that caused trouble for Chiyun, and the old prince's party seemed to have resurrected, spreading rumors among the people, stirring up chaos in the border city.
"Qin'er, in today's situation, the king is only afraid that he will go to the border pass to quell the rebellion, you and the child are waiting for my return in the palace." Mu Chun's eyes burned bright red, and he put the armor he took out of the dungeon on his body, his eyebrows furrowed.
"But now the plague is rampant, and the imperial doctor sent can't solve it, I'm afraid~~" Ai Qing looked at the man in front of her, and thought about the child in her womb, if this child came later, she would definitely go with him.
"Don't be afraid! This trip will not be more than three months, and I will return safely. Mu Chun said this and hugged Ai Qing into his arms, although the previous war was also dangerous, but he had never been afraid, at this moment he was a little more worried in his heart, but he was a little dignified and uneasy.
When leaving the palace, Ai Qing took out the remaining pills and pills and asked Mu Chun to take them, standing on the palace wall, looking at the army in the distance, his heart trembled inexplicably, and a panicked emotion swept through his body, stirring his heart to ache.
"Qin'er, go back to the palace! The palace walls are windy. The queen stretched out her hand and tucked her cloak, sighed and said, "When Jie'er went to the battlefield for the first time, the queen mother was just like you, her eyes were full of concern. Now! I've seen a lot of scenes of him wearing armor and going away, but I'm used to it. Born in the emperor's family, he already carries the helplessness and responsibility that ordinary people can't imagine, and Jie'er is a very affectionate and responsible child, there will be many such things in the future, and all we can do is hope that he will return safely. ”
After listening to the queen's words and thinking about the child in her womb, Ai Qing stabilized her mind, returned to the dormitory, and waited in the palace every day. Except for Gu Sichen, who died in the palace and didn't leave, he found an excuse to come to her, and everything was fine. Fortunately, when Mu Chun decided to leave, he left the black halberd and the night peep, although Gu Sichen spoke lightly, he didn't dare to approach.
With nothing to do, she began to study modern objects again, first simple objects such as pens and mirrors, and later even bicycles. Because she was pregnant, the queen said that she would not let her ride anything, and it was Gu Sichen who learned a lot of things, and she could ride for a long time.
Later, Ai Qing learned that this Gu Sichen was just a puppet emperor with a name for Pi Lan, and it was his mother Empress Dowager Hexuan who really presided over the overall situation. The Empress Dowager Hexuan's ability to govern the country is far better than that of men, and her obsession with the court is even more incomprehensible.
Time passed day by day, Ai Qing could feel that her lower abdomen had a significant bulge, and she often felt nauseous when eating, but fortunately, the queen sent people to take care of her every day, seeing that she was fat in the mirror for a whole circle, Xu Feifei complained in her heart every day that her good figure was ruined, but she often woke up halfway through sleep and looked at her stomach and smirked.
General Zhou went out with the army, and no one in the palace could understand the wolf language for a while, so the news of the border could only be transmitted by the soldiers of the post station, seeing that March had passed, but there was still no news of Mu Chun's victory, Ai Qing and Xu Feifei gradually began to panic in their hearts.
Thinking about them day and night, nightmares for several days disturbed their hearts, but they couldn't understand the roar of the black halberd and the night peep. This night, Ai Qing woke up from the winter thunderstorm, looked at the black halberd and night peep standing in front of the bed, and sat up from the bed.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to the prince? Ai Qing knelt on the floor in front of the bed in a panic, but she still couldn't understand their response. I saw only two pairs of crystal eyes twinkling in the darkness.
Since Mu Chun left, Ah Qi moved to the cubicle to live, so as to take care of her young lady from time to time. Perhaps hearing the movement, Ah Qi hurriedly ran from the cubicle, looked at Ai Qing who was sitting on the ground, and quickly turned on the newly made generator switch, and the whole room was instantly illuminated.
"Miss, what's wrong? But another nightmare? Ah Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help Ai Qing get up, but Ai Qing sat on the ground and looked at the black halberd and night peep in front of him and didn't want to stand up.
"Black halberd, if something happens to the prince, you can lift your front feet." Ai Qing had just woken up from a nightmare, and looked at the black halberd with the same look as the night peep, panicked for a while, and asked tentatively with rain.
The black halberd seemed to hesitate for a moment before gently raising its front hooves.
Looking at its movements, Ai Qing was even more flustered in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "He's still alive, right?" Just a little bit injured, wasn't it? ”
The black halberd didn't make any movement, and the night peep was also calm, and the crystal in his eyes slid down the gray hair, poking straight into Ai Qing's heart.
"Ahh It hurts~~" Ai Qing suddenly felt a cramp in her abdomen, and she lay on the ground holding her stomach, Ah Qi panicked and hurriedly ran out to call someone. Seeing the heroine fall, the black halberd and the night peep also panicked around the room, trying to wake up the people in the palace with a wolf howl.
------
When she woke up again, it was already dawn, looking at the queen sitting in front of the bed, Ai Qing subconsciously reached out and touched her belly, making sure that the bulge was still there, and then she settled down and asked, "Queen Mother, is the child okay?" ”
The queen stretched out her hand to wipe the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, sighed softly and said, "It's okay! Fortunately, the imperial doctor came in time, but it startled the queen mother. Qin'er usually has a stable fetal image, why did she almost have a miscarriage last night? If you do, I don't know how sad you will be when you come back. ”
Hearing the word "Jie'er", Ai Qing remembered the actions of the black halberd and the night peep last night, and hurriedly sat up and pulled the queen to cry: "Queen Mother, something happened to the prince~~"
The queen was stunned, and asked anxiously: "There is no new news in the army, isn't Qin'er having a nightmare?" ”
Ai Qing shook her head, looked up at the black halberd that was still misty in her eyes on the beam, and said, "It's true, Queen Mother, Qin'er wants to go to the prince, something must have happened to him!" ”
"Silly child, don't say that you are pregnant now, even if you are not pregnant, this battlefield is not something you can go to, you can rest assured, you are brave and good at fighting, and you are accompanied by the wolf army, it will be fine." The queen comforted Ai Qing, but she was also uneasy because she had not received the battle report for a long time.
Thinking of the child in her womb, Ai Qing calmed down, and the tears still flowed down her cheeks, she didn't know what the black halberd and the night peep last night's tears represented, but obviously Mu Chun decided that something was wrong.
After another five or six days, the new battle report came to the palace, and Ai Qing could clearly feel the panicked atmosphere, but after asking many people in a row, no one dared to tell her about the battle report.
She could only go to Xihua Hall to find the queen with her stomach up, and the queen only told her that it was okay, and I was afraid that this battle would have to be fought for a while, so that she could raise the fetus with peace of mind. But she could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the palace was getting more and more tense, and it seemed that something big was about to happen.
Later, the queen ordered someone to send her back to the prince's mansion overnight, and sent three imperial doctors to stay in the palace to give her a baby. But every time she wanted to go into the palace to find out, the grandmother sent by the queen wouldn't even let her out of the gate of the palace. She knew that something must have happened in the palace, and the queen secretly sent her outside the palace in order to protect her. Thinking of this, I was even more panicked, but her growing belly made her unable to go anywhere.
Since that day, the night peep seems to have disappeared, only the black halberd still guards the beam, probably because she almost had a miscarriage that night, and when she wanted to ask again, the black halberd turned away without a sound, and there was no response.
It wasn't until Gu Sichen appeared in front of her again that Xu Feifei begged him to take her to Mu Chunduan as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
Gu Sichen looked at Xu Feifei, who was already five months pregnant, and said that he didn't want to take her out of the mansion, only telling her that Mu Chun might not be dead, and he would also send secret guards to find her and reassure her. But how could she be at ease, and she tried her best to run out of the palace all day long. I was helplessly pregnant, and I couldn't move, but I couldn't get out anyway.
At night, Ai Qing suddenly remembered that the doors of the four walls in the cellar were open on three sides, and the ghost took advantage of the night to find the mechanism of the stone gate from the fourth wall, so he walked along the tunnel alone and really walked out of the palace.
