In the middle of December of the 11th year of Dehua, heavy snow fell in the sky, and the north of Rongguo was white.

The first prince Zong Zhengche fled to the Yong State and survived under the protection of the Yong State. Emperor Zongzhenglu sent people to persuade Dingyuan Wang Huanyuan many times, but he failed several times. Although Huan Yuan has never sent troops to deal with Zong Zhenglu, no emperor in history can tolerate such a thorn in the flesh.

Finally, after a few months of stalemate, Zongzhenglu sent troops to attack Daizhou, and now the army is already under the city.

Huan Ci stood in his father's courtyard, a little apprehensive in his heart.

After signing the marriage certificate, Fu Shen disappeared, and it was not until the news from the front came a few days ago that Huan Ci knew that he had returned to Yingdu.

Although she had known for a long time that her father and the court would have a battle, she was afraid when she really wanted to fight. Especially now that something happened to her, she was pregnant at this time.

It should be almost two months since the reckoning. The doctor who took her pulse didn't know her, and she was masked at the time, so she and Ah Yao were the only ones who knew about it.

Forced by her obscenity, A-Yao didn't dare to tell Huan Yuan about it, but she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot every day, and always secretly stewed some medicine for her to stabilize the fetus.

This kid didn't come at the right time, but he came at this time.

Huan Ci took a deep breath and touched his still flat lower abdomen. At this time, her father must be busy, how dare she tell him the news. Besides, she doesn't want her father to be shackled because of this child, and she doesn't want to be her father's weakness.

After pulling out a smile, Huan Ci slowly entered the room. Her father was taking his medicine, and when he saw her, he had a smile on his face.

Huan Ci walked to his father and sat down, and said coquettishly: "Why does Daddy take medicine again, but where is it uncomfortable?" ”

"It's just an old mistake, you don't have to worry." Huan Yuan threw the medicine bottle in his hand to the maid, and looked her up and down with a frown.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Huan Ci squeezed his palms weakly.

"Girl, you seem to have lost weight, why are your lips so white?" Huan Yuan looked at her worriedly.

Huan Ci breathed a sigh of relief, ignored Ah Yao's wrinkled face on the side, and said with a smile: "No, I'm in good health, but Daddy needs to take more care." ”

"I'm still not worried, why do you look a little tired, why don't you ask a doctor to take a look." Huan Yuan raised his hand and was about to shout.

Huan Ci hurriedly tugged at his sleeve: "Daddy, don't worry about me, I know this kind of thing." ”

"What does the girl know, let's ask a doctor to take a look." Yao muttered beside her.

Huan Ci turned around and gave her a warning look, although it failed to deter Zhong A-Yao, but it also made her pouting and look away, ignoring Huan Ci's matter.

Huan Ci sighed almost inaudibly, and then asked Huan Yuan: "Daddy, do you think this battle can be fought?" ”

"It's hard to say." Huan Yuan shook his head, "Zong Zhenglu shouldn't want to fight, but he had to fight under the pressure of the courtiers." Now that the imperial army's army has arrived in Daizhou City, I don't know when they will choose to do it. It's just, I'm a little worried—"

"What?" Huan Ci looked at his father who wanted to speak and stopped.

Huan Yuan's face was full of sorrow, and he looked at Huan Ci with a worried face: "If Yong Guo chooses to do it at this time, girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you." ”

"Daddy!" Huan Ci muttered, and put his hand on his father's hand, "Daddy, my daughter can accompany you, if they catch me, I will never be a drag on you, don't worry." ”

"Huan Ci!" Huan Yuan's voice was already a little angry, "You are not allowed to come nonsense." ”

After pondering for a moment, he looked out the window at the mountain peaks and whispered, "Why don't you sneak to Bingzhou first." A few days ago, your cousin went there to do business, so you went to Bingzhou to find him, so that I could rest assured. You're here, how can Daddy rest assured? ”

"No, I'm not leaving." Huan Ci shook his head firmly, "I'm not afraid of people from the court or people from Yongguo, I won't leave you here alone." ”

"You kid, why are you so tough?" Huan Yuan shouted unhappily.

Huan Ci snorted lightly, raised his head and said, "I just won't leave, can you leave me behind?" A-Yao, let's go back to our room. ”

Ah Yao pursed her lips and reluctantly followed her out.

After there was no one around, Ah Yao leaned over to her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Girl, don't you really plan to tell the prince about this?" ”

"You can also see that saying it at this time will only increase your troubles."

"But," Ah Yao hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then do you also want to hide it from Fu Sanye?" ”

"Of course hide it from him, if you want him to know, what should he do if he uses this child to calculate his father?"

"Is he such a person?" A-Yao scratched her head, "I don't think he's that bad, right?" ”

Huan Ci lowered his head and looked at his toes. She doesn't want to think of a man as such a person, but her father's life is at stake, how dare she be sloppy in this kind of thing?

"A-Yao, or I will find a way to beat this child down. He didn't come at the right time, so I should be ruthless. ”

"Girl, are you crazy?" A-Yao grabbed her arm and dragged her to her side, "Do you know how dangerous this is?" And we are in Dingyuan Palace, can't we afford to raise a child. As long as we don't say it, who can know whose child it is? Even if he wanted to admit it, would he be able to prove that it was his child? ”

"Flutter-"

Huan Ci was amused by Ah Yao's indignant appearance, she pinched Ah Yao's face, and pondered her words.

It is true that if she doesn't say it, it will be difficult for others to guess the child's father, at most it is just some rumors. But if the news spreads, it will not be easy to hide Fu Shen, especially since the man still has the marriage letter they signed in his hand.

If he really knew about it, what would he do with the child?

Why didn't Huan Ci want to tell Fu Shen the news? But she didn't dare to bet, and she didn't want to bet. She was afraid that the court would make a fuss about this matter and force her father to surrender in the face of her children.

If my father had already descended, how could he have delayed it until now?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt a headache, and suddenly I held on to the stone next to me and spit out sour water.

Ah Yao hurriedly came up to help her smooth her back and muttered, "Girl, you will show your stuffing sooner or later." ”

Huan Ci was so uncomfortable that he couldn't care about talking back, glared at her resentfully, and then then held on to the stone and vomited.

"You deserve it, who made you not be polite. Especially Fu Sanye, I really misjudged him, I didn't expect her to be this kind of person, hooking up with a girl who didn't get married. Ah Yao sneered on the side, but the movements of her hands did not stop.

Huan Ci wiped away the overflowing tears, and sighed a little in his heart. At first, she did take the initiative, but the two of them have been out of control since then.

"Who said the child was his? This kid doesn't have a father, so don't talk nonsense. Huan Ci said in a low voice.

Ah Yao smiled and nodded: "Yes, I remember." ”

Looking at Huan Ci's pale face, her smile gradually disappeared again. The doctor said that Huan Ci's physical foundation is poor, and he should take good care of it at this time. But now that the war is about to start, the prince is so busy that his feet can't leave the ground, and he is even busy with Huan Ci, and there is not much time to rest in a day.

"Girl, let's go back quickly, and I'll decoct you when we get back." She stepped forward to support Huan Ci.

Huan Ci looked at her gratefully: "I've been drinking this medicine for half a month, it's better to stop after drinking this dose." You excused yourself that you were sick, so you decocted the medicine every day, and after a long time, I was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of other people in the yard, especially Zhao Qing's girl. ”

There's no way, Zhao Qing knows too much, he always asks her for help when he has something before Huan Ci, but recently he often avoids her because of pregnancy.

Anyway, she made up her mind, how long she could hide it. As long as there is no accident, it should still be possible to hide it for more than a month, maybe the war is over at that time, I am afraid that she will have lost her life at that time.

If her father was really defeated, what would Fu Shen do to her? Huan Ci didn't dare to think about it anymore, and even began to get nervous.

Since she became pregnant, she has found that she is really more and more cranky.

"Let's go, let's go back." She took A-Yao's arm and walked forward.

*

In the imperial city, Fu Shen sat in front of the chessboard very casually, holding the flag calmly. Sitting opposite him was a man in Xuanyi, who was the ruthless Zongzheng law in Huan Ci's heart.

Zong Zhenglu smiled and put down a chess piece: "Xuan Mo, you lost." ”

"Yes." Fu Shen shook his head and threw the black pieces in his hand back into the box.

"What? Are you thinking about her? Zong Zhenglu raised his eyes to look at him, and his mouth was teasing.

Fu Shen smiled at the corners of his mouth, noncommittal to his words.

"I really didn't expect you to be an infatuated person, which really surprised me." Zong Zhenglu said with a smile.

Fu Shen glanced at him lightly: "I want to learn from Your Majesty, but unfortunately I can't do it." ”

After hearing this, Zong Zhenglu suddenly lost a smile on his face, and looked at the chessboard distractedly. He just remembered Liu Rao, who was sent to the cold palace by him not long after the miscarriage. Such a jealous woman, let alone being a queen, even if she is a palace concubine, it is reluctant, and it is ridiculous that she is used to her again and again.

"No, I'm going to review the recital, and Master Fu should go and get down to business."

Seeing him as if he had been stepped on by his tail, Fu Shen secretly laughed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He really didn't expect that Liu Rao, who looked soft and weak at the time, would now torture Zongzheng Law like this. The man who used to treat women only as a pastime will now have such a time.

Thinking about it, Fu Shen missed Huan Ci more and more in his heart. I didn't say goodbye that day, and I don't know if she was angry?

As soon as he stepped out of the palace with his front feet, the flying snow arrived as promised, and the entire imperial city was instantly hazy.

Fu Shen looked up in the northeast direction, his eyes becoming more and more determined. Count the days, at most ten days, he can go to Daizhou to find her.

Hopefully, she'll be willing to see him then.

Fu Shen smiled bitterly, shook his head and rejected the umbrella handed by the palace people, and gradually disappeared into the palace city in the wind and snow.
