I was restless for several days. After the turmoil that night, Mu Ze didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so he asked Qingge to sort out the mess. On the second day, when it was morning morning, he habitually looked at a certain position, but he did not see anyone, and after a moment of astonishment, he remembered that after lunch yesterday, he had mentioned that she should temporarily take a leave of absence from the position of shaman.

For some reason, I always feel empty in my heart. In fact, that night he suddenly remembered to eat boiled cabbage, it was the whole afternoon that his thoughts could not be condensed on official business, sometimes he would think of other things, and his heart felt even more empty, so he wanted to miss the years spent with his brother by nostalgic for that dish, so as to clear the distracting thoughts that arose for no reason.

But he didn't think about it, and he was provoked by the left-leaning city and dissipated into invisibility, and he couldn't settle down even after a few days. The quiet and waveless heart rippled unconsciously. In the evening, seeing Qingge talking a few times, he frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, what are you doing?" ”

Qingge lowered his head and his gaze settled, "Back to the king, the queen mother just sent someone to pass the word and ask the king to go to the Shadow Dust Palace, the shadow concubine Niangniang has been infected with the wind and cold for a few days, and it seems that she is not lightly ill." There was an uproar that day, and he was on the scene, even if the queen mother passed the word, he didn't dare to mention the matter of the shadow concubine in front of the king.

Mu Ze was stunned and turned his head, "How many days?" ”

Qingge's reaction was half a beat slower, his eyes were confused, and after hearing the king repeat again, he came to his senses and immediately replied: "It's the wind and cold that started that night, and the imperial doctor has been to consult a few times, and I'm not very optimistic." ”

As for the night, I don't need him to explain more, the king will be able to understand it.

Hall of Shadow Dust.

The maid Xiaobi stepped forward and brought the medicine to the side of the bed, and said softly: "Niangniang, it's time to drink the medicine." ”

Zuo Leaning City didn't raise his eyelids, "Let it go." She held a book related to witchcraft in her hand, and seemed to read it seriously, but in fact, she hadn't turned a page for a long time, and her mind was always settled. She didn't know if she was disheartened at this time, she just felt that her heart was full of loneliness, and no matter how much medicine she drank, it couldn't warm her heart.

Xiaobi looked at the medicine bowl in her hand, the heat was not as much as before, and she couldn't help but persuade: "Niangniang, the imperial doctor said that the medicine must be drunk while it is hot, and it will have no effect if it is cold. "Usually, as long as the fetus is mentioned, the mother will do it without hesitation, but tonight it is invalid, and she is still staring down.

"Why don't you drink medicine?" A warm voice suddenly appeared by the door, Xiaobi looked back, and immediately knelt on the ground and saluted: "Slave and maid see the king." Mu Ze walked over, picked up his white robe and sat down, and said lightly, "You go down first." ”

After Xiaobi withdrew from the inner hall, she glanced at the pills on the table next to the bed, the medicinal juice in it was black and thick, and the fragrance of medicine came to her nose. But the woman in the bed remained the same, did not move, her eyes fell on the page in her hand, and saw that it was a sacrificial picture, and the words below were all related matters. couldn't help frowning and said, "Didn't you let the priest affairs be put aside for the time being?" How can I still read this book? ”

Seeing that the other party was silent, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and took the medicine bowl.

In fact, from the moment he walked in, his heart began to beat unconsciously in a stall, sometimes he really felt hopeless and chilled one moment, and the next moment he appeared and ignited hope. I heard him say, "Even if you don't care about your body, you also think about the child in your belly." The beating heart sank again, and he raised his eyes to look at the handsome and picturesque face, it turned out that it was just for the child. snatched the porcelain bowl from his hand, drank the medicine in one go, and then said coldly: "The concubine has finished drinking, the king please go back." ”

Silence spread in the hall, and finally Mu Ze slowly got up and walked out. Zuo Chengcheng wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, held back the sourness in his nose, and listened to his footsteps gradually disappearing, as if the warmth on her heart gradually withdrew.

I thought that I would not appear again, but I didn't expect it to come again on the second day, and it should have come down early in the morning. Mu Ze's expression couldn't distinguish anything, but it was as light as usual, and he happened to meet the imperial doctor diagnosing him, he waited for a while, and asked for the general details after the imperial doctor finished diagnosing the pulse.

Before leaving, the imperial doctor said one more sentence, "Heart disease also requires heart medicine", and he thought about it carefully and knew the meaning. Knowing that the wind and cold of Zuo Leaning City was caused by the conflict with him in the Hall of Eternal Life that day, it has been delayed for a long time, and it is precisely because of the depression in his heart. But although he knew where the illness came from, he didn't know how to find this medicine to get a doctor. I just want to supervise her to drink medicine after the next day every day, at least to watch her wind and cold heal.

The relationship became a little delicate, and every day he came over, the left-leaning city reversed his previous attitude, did not say much to him, did not make any curry favor, and his attitude was neither enthusiastic nor cold. Because it is often noon in the morning, there is an example of having lunch there, and gradually every day as soon as he arrives at the Shadow Dust Palace, the meal will be passed up, and the dishes and chopsticks will naturally be put in two.

Seeing that her cold was slowly getting rid of and her face was ruddy, he should not have to supervise her to drink medicine at this time, but seeing that her body had passed seven months, it was getting heavier and heavier, so after her cold was completely cured, he still went to visit her every day. Occasionally, he saw her talking to the baby alone, and her expression was gentle, and he thought she loved this child very much.

On a peaceful day, without those restless worries, his mind was calm and peaceful. On this day, I was listening to her reading the story on the book, which was suggested by the imperial doctor, saying that in the last two months, the baby had a sense of hearing, could hear the sound of talking outside, and read some poems and songs, which would help him. Suddenly, he saw Qingge coming in from outside the door in a hurry, and after entering the door, he saluted him and Zuo Chengcheng without saying anything, and after thinking about it, he called him to the courtyard to ask what was the matter.

Qingge took out the letterhead from his arms, and Mu Ze was immediately overjoyed, is there news from Nan Shao again? Hurriedly opened it to inspect, but his face sank, "How can this be true, Brother Ran is pregnant with Liujia at this time, and he Qin Tiance is not by his side to accompany him, so he actually went back to Dongyun to deal with some kind of flood!" "I feel angry when I think about it, but my brother's health is not good, if I don't take good care of it at this time, what can I do if something happens? No, he had to take a leave of absence immediately and go to Shinonome. didn't bother to go in again to say hello, so he called Qingge and left quickly.

Zuo Chengcheng stood in front of the temple gate, quietly staring at the distant figure, his eyes stained with sadness. In the past month or so, she saw the changes in Mu Ze's eyes, thinking that the story that belonged to them was finally beginning, every day she sat there and talked to the baby, but she always looked at him in the afterglow, at that time the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his eyes were also gentle and suspiciously tender. She was almost drowning in that pool of tenderness, just thinking about it, he came over every day, she looked at him, and it was good.

But she didn't have time to react when she was happy, a letter from Nan Shao, a message about his brother Ran, he completely forgot about her behind him, and only thought about his brother Ran who was far away in Nanshao.

"Niangniang, the king is gone, it's windy here, you have just the cold, you can't blow the wind." Xiaobi persuaded in her ear.

She turned her head sideways and asked faintly, "Xiaobi, am I good-looking?" ”

Xiaobi nodded: "Niangniang is the most beautiful woman in the world that the slave has ever seen." She thinks that Niangniang's name is really good, and the person is as good as her name, comparable to Allure. But I heard Niangniang asking: "But why can't I ever enter his heart?" ”

Why is that? The left-leaning city asked himself. The hand stroked the bulging belly, and suddenly raised her head, she was going to ask him for an answer, not for herself, for the child in the womb, she also had to fight this time.

After Mu Ze returned to the Hall of Eternal Life, his fluctuating mood had calmed down a bit, and he read the letter carefully. I thought to myself that Qin Tiance loved dyeing blue so much, how could he leave her at this time? One is that the flood in Dongyun has reached a very serious level, and he has to go back to deal with it, and the other is that Brother Ran forced him to go back, and Brother Ran's temperament is very likely to do this kind of thing, she always puts the overall situation first and puts herself in the back position. Fortunately, now that Nanshao's government is stable, there should be no major problems, so he sent people to keep an eye on them, or not to interfere in their lives.

Zhao Qingge brought the box and read the letter again, without missing a word, and after making sure that there were no other problems, he carefully put the letter into the folder. Suddenly, a soft voice from the front asked, "Is it all her message?" When he raised his head, he saw that it was Zuo Leaning City, and he was slightly shocked, put down the clip and stepped forward to help her, complaining in his mouth: "How did you come here?" With such a big belly, it's not appropriate to walk such a long way. ”

Zuo Leaning City subconsciously dodged to the side, so that Mu Ze's hand that Mu Ze helped over was empty, he was stunned, and looked at her suspiciously, she was fine in the Shadow Dust Hall just now, why did she suddenly turn around and she was not in a good mood? Could it be that, as the imperial doctor said, pregnant women are usually emotional?

Zuo Chengshen glanced at him, slowly walked to the table, his eyes fell on the clip, a thick dozen, neatly collected, the top one had the word "Nan" written on it, needless to say that they were all letters from Nanshao, which were all related matters related to Ning Ranqing. She was almost sure that Ning Ranqing didn't know anything about these reports, he only secretly followed all the news about her behind his back, but as long as she was a little bad, he would do his best to help, even at the expense of this northern world. Wasn't it before that he raised troops to confront his master outside Youzhou City, in order to relieve her of the siege?

The corners of his mouth hooked a desolate sarcastic smile, and as soon as he reached out his hand to touch the letter, he heard a deep cry from behind him: "Don't touch it!" Her hand trembled, and when she heard the rapid stride, she suddenly gritted her teeth and pushed the small box directly to the ground, and the boxes of letters were scattered on the ground, one by one all snow-white envelopes, each with words written on them, some were "South", some were "Youzhou", and for a while, these letters ...... It's not all the information after Ning Ranqing left Beiding, but also the battle of Youzhou that she hadn't participated in before! After nearly three years, he still keeps it so intact!
