Otherwise, in Shen Yijia’s current situation, Song Jingchen had no doubt that even if he temporarily coaxed her into agreeing to return to Nanling Pass first, this girl would probably return to the front line to look for him because of a nightmare or other reasons. In that case, it was better to keep her by his side.
“Don’t I look like a ball? Why do I feel that way?” Shen Yijia lowered her head and walked around in a circle.
Her cloak was lifted up by her big stomach. Her head was small, and her body was biz. She looked exactlv like a tumbler.
Song Jingchen’s eyelids twitched and he quickly helped her sit down.
Seeing how nervous he was, Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. “I’m not that weak.” Why did everyone treat her like a porcelain doll?
Song Jingchen said without thinking, “Jiajia is the most powerful. You’re not weak at all. It’s the two little fellows in your stomach who are weak.”
If he hadn’t said that, this girl would have done something to prove herself.
Shen Yijia pouted. It was all because the two little fellows in her stomach were a burden to her.
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, something hit her stomach, and Shen Yijia froze.
“What’s wrong?” Song Jingchen asked nervously.
Shen Yijia said uncertainly, “He… he seems to have moved.”
She held her breath and lifted her cloak to touch her stomach, but after waiting for a long time, her stomach did not move again, as if what she felt just now was just her imagination.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Song Jingchen resisted the urge to try. He rubbed her head and comforted her. “They’re still young. They don’t have the strength to move.”
“They’re indeed weaklings.” Shen Yijia said disdainfully, but she hoped that they would grow faster.
After confirming that Song Jingchen wasn’t going anywhere today, she went back to sleep.
When she fell asleep, a hand quietly reached under the blanket. He thought that he wouldn’t get a response, but just as he touched her stomach, a small bump appeared under his palm.
Song Jingchen felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He retracted his hand and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to try again, but he thought of something and held it in. He leaned over and whispered, “Your mother is sleeping. Be good and don’t disturb her.”
Shen Yijia did not know that the two little ones had already secretly greeted their biological father behind her back. When she woke up, she saw MO Yuan standing quietly at the side.
“Where’s my husband?”
“If the Duke doesn’t want anything to happen to the Empress Dowager of Great Xia, he’ll bring you and these people back to where you came from.”
“In your dreams.” A deputy general’s eyes turned red with anger. He drew his sword and slashed at the envoy.
The envoy was so frightened that he hurriedly dodged and said in a panic, “The two countries are at war. Why didn’t you kill the envoy? Why didn’t you follow the rules?”
“Heh, rules?” The deputy general sneered. “What right do you have to talk about rules here?”
With that, he stabbed out again and cut off the envoy’s hair crown.
Her hair fluttered and fell to the ground. The envoy’s pupils constricted. He covered his head and looked at the silent youth in panic. “Bulwark Duke, you have to think carefully. Can you really disregard the life and death of your Empress Dowager?”
Song Jingchen’s eyes turned cold as he looked at the deputy general who attacked. The latter immediately put away his sword and knelt down. “I know my mistake. General, please punish me.”
“You’re not allowed to eat tonight, ” Song Jingchen said.
‘Yes.”
He almost cut off his head. Was it over after a night of hunger? The envoy was so angry that his face turned the color of pig liver. He opened his mouth to say something.
Song Jingchen waved his hand. “See the guest out.”
The envoy said, “Duke…”
“You said that the empress dowager of Great Xia is in your hands, but I didn’t
receive any news from Chang’an. Do you think I’ll believe you just because of your words?” Song Jingchen sneered. “You’re already old. You should cherish your life.”
In other words, if you say another word of nonsense, he would get someone to kill the envoy.
His face turned pale. In the end, he still felt that his life was more important.
After he left, the tent fell into a dead silence. Although they had pretended not to believe it just now, everyone knew in their hearts that it was impossible for the people of the Wu Kingdom to speak without thinking.
It was very likely that the Empress Dowager was really in their hands.
As for why there was no news from Chang’an, firstly, it was because the journey was long. Secondly, it was probably because someone had stopped them on the way.
A general wanted to ask Song Jingchen for his opinion, but Sikong Yi shook his head. He looked at the cold-faced young man in front of him and stood up to signal for everyone to leave first.
The tent curtain lifted and closed. The teacup in Song Jingchen’s hand shattered, and the shattered porcelain pierced his palm. Blood instantly gushed out.
“Hubby.” When Shen Yijia entered, she happened to see this scene. She quickly ran over and pried his hand away. Looking at his badly mangled palm, she was angry and her heart ached. “What are you doing?”
She had been standing outside for a while just now and roughly knew what had happened.
“I’m indignant.” Song Jingchen’s eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and said, “So many soldiers died, and Brother Xiao… I’m really indignant.”
However, he also knew that Shangguan Han wouldn’t agree. He couldn’t ignore his aunt’s life.
Shen Yijia pursed her lips. “MO Yuan, bring the first aid kit over.”
In the royal palace of the Wu Kingdom.
As soon as Song Li opened her eyes, she realized that she was in an unfamiliar environment. She didn’t even bother to put on her shoes. She quickly ran to the door. Just as she placed her hand on it, the door was pushed open from the outside.
She was shocked when she saw the young man standing outside the door.
“You…’
“Mother, long time no see.” Shangguan Yu was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and still had a smile on his face, but that smile did not reach his eyes. He looked much thinner than before.
Song Li had already regained his composure and said coldly, “Is this the Wu Kingdom’s palace?”
During the time she was abducted, someone kept feeding her medicine. Although she woke up a few times along the way, she only knew that she seemed to be in the carriage and did not know the direction she was going.
“Mother is still as smart as ever.” Shangguan Yu smiled and walked into the room. Song Li retreated step by step.
Shangguan Yu walked to the table in the middle and sat down. The eunuch behind him placed a food box on the table and was about to open it.
Shangguan Yu waved his hand to signal him to leave. He opened the food box and took out a bowl of noodles.
“Mother, have you forgotten? Today is my birthday. You said that you would spend my birthday with me every year.”
“What exactly do you want to do?” Song Li asked coldly.
Shangguan Yu didn’t seem to hear her. He took out an empty bowl from the food box and divided half of the noodles into it. He pushed it across and smiled.
“Mother…”
Bang! Half a bowl of noodles was pushed to the ground by a bare hand.
Shangguan Yu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of noodles to eat. After tasting it, he frowned and put down his chopsticks. He sighed and said,
“Mother’s noodles are still the best. I still remember that at this time last year,
Mother specially cooked noodles for me in the Cold Palace.”
“Shangguan Yu… No, you should be called Nangong Yu now.” Song Li interrupted him coldly. “You don’t have to remind me of the stupid things I’ve done. Tell me, what do you want to do by capturing me and bringing me to the Wu Kingdom?”
She clenched her fists. “If you want to use me to threaten Ah Chen to retreat, then you’ve made a mistake. I won’t let you succeed even if I die.”
Shangguan Yu sighed. “Mother is exhausted from the journey. You must be tired. Someone, come.” He stood up. “Clean up this place and serve the Empress
Dowager to rest.”
Immediately, two palace maids walked in.
Seeing that he had turned around and was about to leave, Song Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Yu arrived in front of her the next moment and snatched the porcelain bowl fragment from her hand.
When he was snatching it, the fragment accidentally cut his finger. Shangguan
Yu frowned. “This thing is too dangerous. Mother, you’d better not touch it.”
“You!” Song Li was furious. She wanted to say something, but she felt a pain in her neck and fainted again.
Shangguan Yu placed her back on the bed and a eunuch walked in. “Your
Majesty, Lord Xu is back..”
