Chapter 146
Isn't that the woman pregnant? What's so uncomfortable? Princess Mi Sichen of Chu State stood by the screen and looked sideways at Wei Nanxu, who was sitting on the bed blankly, with a somewhat disdainful expression.
Now they don't need to bother to inquire, there are rumors in the streets that the queen is pregnant.
Not married yet, now she is the queen.
She is pregnant even before she is married.
Wei Nanxu found these northern barbarians' unrestrained behavior simply unbelievable.
Look at the people who are happily running around to tell the queen that she is pregnant, as if they have been promoted and made a fortune.
Are Zhao Zheng and Jiang He so popular? But others are happy, Wei Nanxu is not happy.
Ever since she learned that Jiang He was pregnant, she had been sitting on the bed and stayed up all night like a loser.
Mi Sichen felt it was time to persuade him.
Brother Wang asked Wei Nanxu to come here to shake the foundation of Yong Kingdom, not for Sichun.
"Nowadays, there is turmoil everywhere," she said with a sneer, Shi Shiran, sitting in the dormitory. "Seven out of ten babies can be born after pregnancy. Of these seven babies, only three or four are lucky enough to live to full age. When you reach adulthood, it will be good if you can keep one. Jiang He is not pregnant with two or three, so why should Miss Wei worry? "
Wei Nanxu seemed not to have heard anything.
Her mind was filled with the scene of meeting Zhao Zheng for the first time.
My father was extremely excited that day, saying that the young master who had been held hostage was finally coming was asked to put on the most beautiful clothes and stand on the royal street at the entrance of the palace, waiting for Zhao Zheng with everyone.
Wei Nanxu was a little the crowd, Chang'an Lord Zhao Jiao looked at her and smiled from time to time, and she lowered her head slightly, arrogantly pretending not to notice.
She always felt that she was destined to win Chang'an Jun.
And no one will cherish things that are easy to get.
She was thinking that the spices from the South China Sea would arrive today. If this young man was going to die, why would he come back at this time? Would it delay her in making the fragrance? With this thought in mind, he saw a carriage approaching in the distance.
The carriage was extremely dilapidated, and there were even traces of being burned by the fire on the shaft. It had neither the standards of a prince of a country nor the splendor of a wealthy businessman.
Even the lieutenant troops who came out from Kyoto in advance to escort the carriage looked more majestic and dazzling than Zhao Zheng's entourage.
Then the carriage stopped, Li Wenzhou lifted the curtain, Zhao Zheng bowed his head and came out, stood on the carriage and looked towards them.
At that moment, Wei Nanxu's heart was like a bush of flowers trampled by horses, leaving indelible traces of shock.
The man in front of him does not need to ride in a gorgeous carriage, because he himself is the most dazzling existence.
Zhao Zheng, the young master of the Yong Kingdom, has handsome features and scorching eyes. He is as calm as a solitary rock beside the cliff, but with a hint of coldness, he looks over with a scornful look on the world.
His eyes swept over everyone, and finally looked at the auspicious beast sitting high on the palace gate.
That is the Aiyu, a mythical beast that is said to be able to stir up clouds and make rain, extinguish fires and prevent disasters.
The Yong Kingdom respected water, so they placed fish on the palace gate.
Wei Nanxu knew that Zhao Zheng must have seen many palace gates when he was a hostage in the Six , only when you see the fish can you feel that you have returned to your homeland.
In an instant, she had a different kind of feeling for this man.
I want comfort, I want to rely on, and I want to get it.
From then to now, his eyes have never lingered on her, but her heart has never changed.
Now, he actually has an heir.
"No matter how many babies she has," Wei Nanxu said, "those are Zhao Zheng's flesh and blood."
"So what? Will you let his flesh and blood live?"
Mi Sichen was very happy that Wei Nanxu was finally willing to speak.
Fortunately, this woman is not stupid enough to lose her mind over a man.
"Why not?" Wei Nanxu turned his head, his dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and showed an unpredictable smile, "If the flesh and blood is mine, of course I can live."
Mi Sichen was speechless for a moment.
"Zhao Zheng is ill. Jiang He should be in charge in the palace. This is best, because no one will dare to doubt the elixir she sent to His Majesty."
There was a thunder outside the window, and the last rain of this summer fell unexpectedly.
"All right."
Chen Nanxing sat upright with his body slightly bent at the desk, looking at the pills condensed in the clay pot. His mood fluctuated for a moment, then slowly calmed down.
Smell, burn, soak in water, steam and dry... In order to identify what was in the pill, she used almost all the methods taught at home.
It would be a relief if my father and brothers were here.
"Miss Chen, are you okay?"
Jiang Ben's voice came from outside the door.
He has been pacing outside for a long time.
Although he knew that he was guarding the pills, Chen Nanxing couldn't help but imagine that he was guarding could feel Jiang Ben's impatience.
Although Chen Nanxing didn't know who the sick person was, she knew that it must be of great importance.
"Okay," she said with a smile, "Master, do you want to send it in person?"
"Yes." Jiang Ben nodded, "Sister, I'm waiting for you."
Chen Nanxing lowered his head slightly.
But she hasn't stated her conditions yet.
Later, if the pill works, they will do what they say.
In the heavy rain, Jiang Ben took the pills, opened the brown oilcloth umbrella, and walked into the rain.
The whistle passed through the rain curtain and spread in the capital of Yong Kingdom.
From the Qi embassy where Jiang Ben was located, a sentry post spread the news to the Chu embassy, which was only a few streets away.
"The medicine is ready!"
Wei Nanxu stood up suddenly. The pain in her right leg made her sweat profusely, but she seemed to have lost consciousness of the pain and waved her hand to order those who came to report.
"Follow the original plan, hurry!"
They have been waiting for Chen Nanxing to prepare the medicine for a long time.
The palace has heard about the progress of making the medicine, and almost all the imperial doctors know that it can be done in two days.
Jiang He got the antidote and went to imitate it. Zhao Zheng was seriously ill and lost his judgment. Everything progressed exactly as planned by Wei Nanxu.
Wei Nanxu had already obtained the badge to enter and exit the palace from the traitorous doctor before, and had also taught Xiao Qiang the route to Zhiyang Palace. He had also taught her to learn Jiang He's accent and voice, which would definitely be the same as Jiang He's.
Next, they want to trick Jiang He out of the palace and let Xiao Qiang go back.
But if Jiang Bi is asked to deliver the medicine, the plan will be completely blocked.
But fortunately, they have a way to stop Jiang Ben.
"Step aside!"
Under the curtain of rain, Jiang Ben in the carriage waved to the front: "I am Jiang Ben, the young master of Qi State, and I am going to the palace to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I'm afraid the young master can't go," the heavy rain soaked the clothes of the officers on the street, making their armor even brighter. The leader pointed his sword at Jiang Ben and said, "The young master is suspected of leaking the secrets of the Yong Kingdom to Wei Zipei, the princess of the Wei Kingdom. Now Wei Zipei has returned Luoyang, His Majesty has ordered us to capture you!"
"You are slanderous!" Jiang Ben said, "Which yamen are you from? Are you a doctor or a lieutenant? Who is your superior? Why don't you report to your family?"
However, the other party did not explain.
The leader didn't wait for Jiang Ben to speak again, and shouted loudly: "Thieves who resist arrest will be shot without mercy!"
The streets that were originally empty of pedestrians due to the heavy rain suddenly became emptier.
Jiang Ben quickly retracted his head, and at that moment, several powerful crossbows struck, penetrating the carriage and sinking into the carriage for more than a foot.
"Sister..." Jiang Ben lay back and held the sword, holding his breath for a moment and said, "What's going on? Are you okay?"
If they were soldiers of the Yong Kingdom, they would never do this to their sister when she was well.
And if the capital of the Yong Kingdom hides so many soldiers and horses from the enemy, it means that my sister is already in danger.
Jiang Ben clung to the bottom of the carriage until the carriage was pierced by crossbow arrows from all directions like a hedgehog, until rainwater fell from the damaged compartment panels.
He was motionless and dormant.
He is no longer the young man who was hesitant in Yong State.
He is a man who has been on the battlefield, killed enemy soldiers, and discussed the art of war with his sister.
He waited until someone opened the curtain to see if he was dead, then he quickly stood up and wiped the other person's neck with a knife.
Blood splattered, and Jiang Ben counted the other party's people in the rain.
One...five...ten...twenty...
One person versus dozens of people, is there any chance of winning?
My sister said: "The way to use troops is to surround them by ten, attack them by five, divide them by times. If the enemy is small, you can fight it. If you are small, you can escape from it. If you are weak, you can avoid it."
Now, should he "escape if possible and avoid if necessary"?
No, he had to go to King Yong's Palace.
Go see how my sister is doing.
If they were to die, their siblings would also have to die together.
There is no coward in Qi State who would run away without a fight.
Jiang Ben stood in the rain, like a steel knife that pierced the ground and never fell.
