Chapter 1178 Duty
“Who is it?!” Bai Qingyan’s breathing became a little rapid.
“Sister…”
Hearing the voice, Bai Qingyan’s back stiffened.
“Sister…”
The black shadow took two more steps down the stairs, and its outline gradually became clearer. It turned out to be Bai Qingyu, who was covered in blood.
“Ayu!” Bai Qingyan opened his eyes wide and his scalp felt tight.
The jade official on Bai Qingyu’s head fell off, and her hair was tangled with blood that was about to dry. Her armor was covered with feather arrows. Blood flowed from Bai Qingyu’s silver armor to the stone steps and to Bai Qingyan’s feet…
“Sister, save me!”
After Bai Qingyu finished speaking, blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell straight forward…
“Ayu!” Bai Qingyan dropped the Sun-Shooting Bow when he heard Bai Qingyu’s hoarse voice. He took two steps at a time to support Bai Qingyu, but he missed her and stumbled and fell on the stairs.
She suddenly opened her eyes: “Ayu!”
“Abao!”
Xiao Rongyan, who was sitting on the bed, looked nervous and held Bai Qingyan’s shoulders with both hands.
Bai Qingyan, sweating profusely, saw clearly the deep and upright features of Xiao Rongyan in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief…
Even though she knew she was dreaming, her scalp tightened when she thought of seeing Bai Qingyu covered in blood in the dream.
“Did you have a nightmare?” Xiao Rongyan wiped the sweat off Bai Qingyan’s forehead with a warm handkerchief. Seeing that Bai Qingyan was about to sit up, he hurriedly helped her up and put a pillow behind her. “Don’t be afraid, it’s just a dream!”
Yes, it’s just a dream…
Ayu is doing well in Yechengguan now.
“Why are you here?” Bai Qingyan took the handkerchief from Xiao Rongyan’s hand and wiped his neck.
“Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar year. I haven’t been with you on New Year’s Eve and I’ve been thinking about you.” Xiao Rongyan put aside the handkerchief that Bai Qingyan had used to wipe her neck, held Bai Qingyan’s hand, and gently stroked Bai Qingyan’s abdomen, “Is the child well? Have you been naughty…”
Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at his abdomen, with a very faint smile between his eyebrows: “Very good.”
After recovering from his shock, Bai Qingyan noticed that there were red bloodshot eyes in Xiao Rongyan, he looked much thinner, and the contours of his facial features became clearer.
“Actually, you don’t have to rush over here…” She lowered her eyes to look at her hand clasped with Xiao Rongyan’s, rubbed it gently with her thumb for a few times, and then looked up at Xiao Rongyan, “Instead of rushing over here, you might as well get some more sleep, because there are still a few cities to fight for.”
“The spoils of war in Liuxiang Mountain have been divided. This time I came with An Qingshan from your Great Zhou. The main thing is that we should prepare for the merger of the two countries. You and I should discuss a charter, and then write a letter to Xiao A Li to let him prepare. By the way, I’d like to inform you about the next battle…how Yan and Zhou should cooperate in fighting!” After Xiao Rongyan finished speaking, he looked at Bai Qingyan with a smile, without saying what he wanted to inform or how to fight the next battle.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Bai Qingyan asked, “How do you plan to fight this war?”
“Abao, don’t you miss me? When we met, you only asked about the battle situation instead of asking if I was okay?” Xiao Rongyan moved closer to Bai Qingyan and asked in a low voice, his dark and deep eyes staring at her deeply, “You didn’t even ask if I was okay?”
She was startled, then couldn’t help laughing. She adjusted her sitting position, holding Murong Yan’s hand tightly, with a gleam in her eyes: “How can you be such a person who puts the blame on others? It was you who came here and said you wanted to communicate and talk about how to fight the battle later. How come it’s my fault?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was unexpectedly kissed by Xiao Rongyan.
From outside the window, Wei Zhong could be heard instructing his servants to be more gentle. In his ears, he could hear the rustling of the brocade quilt as Xiao Rongyan approached, and the restrained and light footsteps of the servants outside the window.
She panicked and reached out to push the person away, but Xiao Rongyan grabbed her wrist. His calloused fingers gently stroked her slender wrist.
A familiar scent lingered around her, making people feel uneasy.
Xiao Rongyan just gave her a light kiss and then let go of her lips. He quietly looked at the lover he missed all the time, looked at her red ears, and his gaze fell on the corner of her lips again.
He held Bai Qingyan’s cheek and pressed his hot lips against hers again.
This time, it was not a light kiss, his breath forcefully invaded her heart and lungs.
“Is the elder girl still asleep?”
When Shen Qingzhu’s voice came, Bai Qingyan quickly turned his head away and said with restrained breathing: “Qingzhu is here…”
The two of them were clearly married, but seeing Bai Qingyan still shyly afraid of being seen, Xiao Rongyan couldn’t help but laugh: “Don’t worry, Wei Zhong is guarding outside, he won’t let anyone in.”
As soon as Xiao Rongyan finished speaking, Bai Qingyan really saw Wei Zhong walking down the corridor through the window lattice. He smiled and said to Shen Qingzhu, “Your Majesty fought such a battle while pregnant, and didn’t get much rest afterwards. Let Your Majesty have a good sleep!”
Shen Qingzhu looked at the black lacquered square plate where she had just prepared the pregnancy-preserving medicine for Bai Qingyan.
“Miss Qingzhu, please give me the medicine! I’ll have someone simmer it over a low fire, and His Majesty can drink it when he wakes up.” Wei Zhong quickly took the black lacquer square plate from Shen Qingzhu’s hand, and whispered to Shen Qingzhu, “Miss Qingzhu, you are not made of iron, so go and rest! If you fall down, who will protect our Majesty?”
Shen Qingzhu nodded, told Wei Zhong to take good care of Bai Qingyan, and went to rest…
These days, Shen Qingzhu hadn’t slept for as long as Bai Qingyan hadn’t slept. Bai Qingyan lay down, but she was worried about others touching Bai Qingyan’s pregnancy-preserving medicine, so she watched it personally. She was extremely tired now.
“Then thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Wei!” Shen Qingzhu said, bowed to Wei Zhong and stepped back.
Xiao Rongyan smiled, and glanced at Bai Qingyan with a smug look, then pecked her lips gently. The hot air from his breath swept across Bai Qingyan’s nose as he spoke, making her nose itch: “You can’t even trust your own people, huh?”
I can’t believe it…
Bai Qingyan always had reservations about Wei Zhong because… he didn’t trust him completely, but he was willing to believe him.
Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Wei Zhong once followed her grandmother, and she and her grandmother had the same goals but different positions.
Wei Zhong was a very honest and loyal person. When he followed his grandmother, he was loyal to her. When he followed me…even though he knew that I had reservations about him, he was still willing to follow her and fulfill his duty.
Perhaps it’s time for Bai Qingyan to change his opinion of Wei Zhong.
“What are you thinking about?” Xiao Rongyan and Bai Qingyan put their foreheads together. Xiao Rongyan nudged Bai Qingyan as if to punish her, and then kissed the corner of her lips. “I haven’t seen you for half a month. We finally met. How could you be distracted in front of me? You don’t miss me at all? Huh?”
