In the small and slightly dark room, Jiang Yi sat at the table embroidering, and since she knew that she was pregnant, she begged Aunt Jinxiu to find her some needlework and cloth to make clothes for the child in her womb.

Even though it is only more than two months now, and the flat lower abdomen does not even look like she is pregnant, it can't stop Jiang Yi from being a mother.

When she was first detained here, she was also lost and desperate, this small space was not even comparable to her in a side hall in Yiguo Yijing Palace, but as a hostage in the hands of the Empress Dowager Qin, it was not easy for her to live until now.

With a creak, the door of the room was pushed open, and the Empress Dowager Qin came in under the service of the two palace maids.

"As a hostage of the mourning family, you are very leisurely, and it seems that you are doing well. Empress Dowager Qin looked at the embroidery in Jiang Yi's hand and said so.

It can be seen that Jiang Yi embroidered a tiger head hat, and the tiger head is vivid, especially the eyes, which are very cute.

"Even if I am in pain and despair, crying and crying, the Queen Mother will not let me go, so why should I practice myself?" Jiang Yi saw this, put down the things in his hand, got up and saluted, "I don't know if the Queen Mother is here today, what advice do you have?"

"I don't have any advice, but I received a battle report from the border today, and there is some news about Yiwang, I want to hear it with you, I think you will want to know. Empress Dowager Qin spoke, the smile in her eyes mysterious.

Sure enough, when she said the word "Yiwang", the indifferent look on Jiang Yi's face gradually disappeared, and there was a crack on the originally well-disguised face.

No matter how indifferent Jiang Yi is, for her, Yiwang's news is a sharp sword that can break her disguise.

But she also deeply understands that the Empress Dowager Qin came to tell her these words today for no reason, there must be a different purpose, if she doesn't want to be led by the nose by the Empress Dowager Qin, she can only be silent and see what the Empress Dowager Qin wants to do.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Qin was not in a hurry, she sat down directly on the stool next to the table, and said with a smile: "Jiang Yi, the mourning family has to admit that King Yi is indeed a clever person, he has been in obscurity for so many years, and once he tore his face with the mourning family, he caught the mourning family off guard. The border war is scorching, and the mourning family has no way to take him, but he can't break through the capital either. ”

"Your Highness is naturally the best. Jiang Yi only said this sentence in the end.

"It seems that you really miss him in your heart, but do you know that you are suffering here in the mourning family, and you are pregnant, and you are snorting, but he is thousands of miles away to pamper other women. Perhaps, he has forgotten about your existence, and even so, are you still willing to wait for him?" asked the Empress Dowager Qin.

"He is the monarch of Yiguo, there are many beauties in the harem, and he has never belonged to me alone. Jiang Yi said, "Queen Mother, if you want to use such a method to provoke my relationship with His Highness, and make me die for His Highness and betray him, you might as well give up." ”

When the words fell, Empress Dowager Qin's face changed, and her sharp eyes stared at Jiang Yi, as if she wanted to burn a few holes in her body.

This Jiang Yi is even smarter than the Empress Dowager Qin imagined, it is simply not oil and salt, no matter what the Empress Dowager Qin says, Jiang Yi bites to death and doesn't say anything, choosing to believe Shen Che.

Even in the Ning Palace, her life was very difficult, but she never wavered from the belief in her heart.

Jiang Yi thought that she was not a good person, when she was in the Yi Palace, she relied on the favor of the Empress Dowager Jiang and did a lot of hurtful things, her hands were stained with blood, just to become Shen Che's queen and become his rightful wife.

She may hate those women, hate them for taking away Shen Che's favor, hate them for taking away what belongs to her, but she is not swallowed up by these jealous emotions. She knew where she was and what she should and shouldn't say.

Empress Dowager Qin was here with Jiang Yi, and she couldn't get the news she wanted, so she didn't stay longer. She always thought about it, just let Jiang Yi be her mouth for a while, and when her Ning Palace's army defeated Shen Che, these people would still prostrate under her feet and bow down.

Jiang Yi watched the figure of the Empress Dowager Qin disappear outside, and suddenly her body went limp, and she sat down on the chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

She hoped that this war would end soon, and that Shen Che would win, because she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to hold on to this place. After all, she still has a child in her belly, and she is not for herself, but for the child.

In this boundless waiting, the only thing she can do is these embroideries for completion, which is all her sustenance for life.

Empress Dowager Qin returned to the main hall, and as soon as she rested, Jinxiu came back, saying that the people and horses going to Rui and Jade had been sent out, and I believe that news should be available soon.

At the same time, in the Dusk City in the Jade Kingdom, Yun Yao held the medicine jar in his hand and walked towards Lu Yingquan's room.

They had been stranded in Dusk City for five days, and this time they did not stay at the inn, but found a remote place to rent an empty house, just like in Haoguo, so that they could avoid people's eyes.

Lu Yingquan began to feel uncomfortable since he entered the territory of the Jade Kingdom, and after coming to Dusk City, the symptoms were even more obvious, he actually vomited what he ate, and there were no symptoms of morning sickness before, but after entering the Jade Kingdom, it was very serious.

Such a situation is not suitable for rushing, but what they didn't expect was that they would stay in Dusk City for so long.

From Jingguo to Yuguo, I had already walked for more than half a month, and I stayed in Dusk City for a long time, and now it was late October. Jingguo, located in the northwest, began to cool down significantly, which was not much worse than the cold winter of Yiguo.

"Miss Yun, you are here, Niangniang vomited again just now, how is this good?" Sisi saw Yun Yao coming in from outside, and hurriedly greeted her, helping her carry the medicine jar, and said so.

"Her body is getting heavier and heavier, and she is not adapted to the climate of the Jade Country, which causes unaccustomed water and soil, and it is inevitable that this will happen. Yun Yao sighed, looking at Lu Yingquan's pale face, but there was nothing she could do, "Now we can only let her rest here more first, and when she improves, we will continue to move forward." ”

"Yun Yao......" Lu Yingquan seemed to hear Yun Yao's words, and lay on the bed and called in a low voice.

Yun Yao walked over in two steps, came to the side of the bed, and held Yingquan's hand: "I'm here, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, I'm afraid that if I stay here for too long, it will affect His Highness's side. Lu Yingquan shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to Yiguo, I think His Highness is busy fighting now, and he doesn't have the extra time to write a letter." ”

"I was about to tell you, in the morning Qingming had already received a letter from His Highness, saying that with the help of King Jing, the tide of the battle had been reversed, and the battle line was advancing north. Yun Yao said, "You can keep it here with peace of mind, Qing Ming said, according to the current situation, there is no problem on His Highness's side, so we are not in a hurry." ”

Yun Yao's words made Lu Yingquan feel at ease, knowing that Shen Che was okay there, she was much more relieved.

"I didn't expect that I was fine before, but when I arrived in the Jade Country, I was so uncomfortable. Lu Yingquan's tone was quite helpless, "Yun Yao, I've worked hard for you, I have to regulate my body for me, and I have to collect information about the Jade Kingdom." ”

"What are you doing with me so politely?" Yun Yao comforted Lu Yingquan, "Okay, don't think too much, just drink the medicine and rest well, only when you are well, can we continue to move forward and go to the capital of the Jade Kingdom to see His Royal Highness the Jade King." ”

While speaking, Yun Yao asked Sisi to pour the medicine from the medicine jar into the bowl and serve Lu Yingquan to drink it.

The bitter taste filled Lu Yingquan's mouth, making her very uncomfortable, but even so, she gritted her teeth and swallowed all those unpalatable decoctions, because only in this way could she get better quickly.

After taking the medicine, Lu Yingquan felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and soon fell asleep again.

Yun Yao left a trace here to take care of, left with the medicine jar and bowl, and went to the kitchen to clean up everything before going to find Gu Qingming.

In fact, when she mentioned Shen Che's letter to Lu Yingquan just now, she also concealed some of the facts.

Although the war between Ninggong and Yiguo has been reversed, there is bad news on the northern border of Jade Kingdom. In order to suppress Shen Che's soldiers and horses, the Empress Dowager Qin asked Qin Yuankai to transfer the garrison in the north and gave Beidi an opportunity.

This matter was something that Yun Yao and Gu Qingming had expected a long time ago, but they didn't expect this battle to come so quickly.

Yun Yao remembered that when she was in Ning Palace in the past, not long after she and Gu Qingming met, Gu Qingming went to the north to build a city wall to resist the attack of Beidi, but now that several years have passed, the Beidi people must have also thought of a way to bypass the city wall and invade the land of Daning.

Now, the defenders of the northern border are weak, and the Beidi people are fierce, if they can't defend well, the Jade Kingdom will definitely open its door. In case the Jade Kingdom falls, then the Beidi soldiers and horses will drive straight in, causing irreparable losses to Daning.

"Still worried about the north?" Yun Yao came to the door of Gu Qingming's room, looking at his slightly desolate back, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

"The Queen Mother dispatched the northern army to leave, which is equivalent to giving the north to Beidi. Gu Qingming said, "I have already written to the old department of General Wu of Southwest County, asking him to lead his troops north to fill the vacancy in the Northern Army, this is the only way." ”

In addition to the defenders of the Jade Fiefdom, the soldiers and horses in the southwest border are the closest to the north, and they only need to let them in as long as the Jade Kingdom lets them in, and they will soon be able to reach the northern border. But the problem now is that even if that army arrives in the Jade Country, if it is stopped outside, it will not help.

"Yingquan's body is not suitable for traveling far, so he can only stay in Dusk City to recuperate. Yun Yao thought for a moment and said, "The Gu family is a loyal martyr, and the two old generals have died in the war with Beidi, I know that Beidi is your heart disease, and you can't sit idly by." I thought, is it possible to act separately?"

Gu Qingming listened to Yun Yao's words, raised his eyes to look at her, and his calm gaze seemed to express that he had already planned to do so.
