Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 375 Shock (3)

   Heartache is so numb that it is already numb.

  Everything in front of me is separated by a thick layer. She seemed to be alone in the boundless night, and walking forward was just a subconscious move.

   A familiar voice pulled her back from her muddle: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

  Under the candlelight, Qiyun's worried and familiar face came into view.

   The strength that Lu Mingyu was holding on suddenly dissipated. Tears welled up in his eyes again, and his voice choked up: "Qiyun, the prince was shot in the chest by an arrow."

   Qiyun's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, and her face turned white.

   No wonder Lu Mingyu is so lost, it turns out that the prince was injured!

  Qiyun suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, stretched her arms around Lu Mingyu, and comforted in a low voice: "As long as your life is not in the way. If you are injured, take care of it slowly, and there will always be a day when you will be better."

  Lu Mingyu buried his head in Qiyun's neck, tears pouring freely.

   Li Jing didn't know that Yan Tuo was cunning. He knew how sad she was for her father's death in her past life. He personally led troops to deal with Yan Tuo in order to protect her biological father.

   Such a deep affection, how should she return it?

   Qiyun felt sour when she saw her master crying.

  Master and servant for many years, she has seen her young lady in high spirits, and she has seen her horse-riding and archery heroic, so weak and crying like never before.

   "Niangniang, don't cry." Qiyun's eyes were red, and she whispered: "His Royal Highness is such a good person, God will surely bless His Highness."

  Lu Mingyu was still crying.

  The cry of a child suddenly came from the door: "Mother!"

   "Mother!"

   Sister Xuan was sleeping soundly, and through a thick door, Lu Mingyu's desperate cries would not have disturbed them. But the mother and son had a good heart, and they woke up at the same time, crying and calling mother.

  Lu Mingyu reflexively wiped his tears and pushed in the door.

  There is only a palace lantern in the corner, the light is dim. The two brothers and sisters sat up straight together, tears falling down.

  Lu Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed, took the two children into his arms, and patted their backs as usual.

   Lying in the familiar arms, sniffing his mother's breath, Brother Jueer and Sister Xuan quickly stopped crying, and each fell asleep holding one of her mother's arms.

  Lu Mingyu hugged for a long time before putting the child down.

  Qiyun went to the bed and covered the quilt for the two little masters. Then he looked at Lu Mingyu whose eyes were red, and whispered distressedly: "It's late at night, Niangniang, go to bed first! What's the matter, I'll talk about it when it's dawn tomorrow."

  Lu Mingyu nodded silently.

   She lay down and closed her eyes, all that was shaking in her mind was Li Jing's figure.

   It has been more than a year since she separated, and she has been suppressing her thoughts. Today's news of Li Jing's injury shook her heart. The hard shell in the deepest part of my heart melted away.

  Li Jing, you must hold on and get better.

After   , I will treat you wholeheartedly, without any precautions and reservations.

  Tears slowly slid down the corners of his eyes, soaking the side of the pillow.

  …

   "Ah Xian, why are you so stupid, where are you going to Yan Kingdom!"

In the same night, Concubine Qin’s heart was like a knife and tears fell like rain, and she held her son’s sleeve tightly and refused to let go: “The prince is injured, and Mrs. Lu can’t rest assured and wants to go by herself. What does it have to do with you! You Why are you so stupid!"

   "In case you are in danger on the way, what's the matter, how can you let your mother live!"

   Qin Fei cried out of breath.

The fourth prince sighed helplessly: "If this is the case, the mother and concubine must never say it again. It is not someone else who is injured, but my second brother. If I watch my second sister-in-law go to the military camp and hide in the capital, what face will I have in the future? See your second brother?"

   Concubine Qin cried, "The eldest prince was injured and his right leg was crippled, so he didn't come here."

  The fourth prince sighed again: "That's because the eldest sister-in-law didn't say she was going. Besides, how can the eldest brother and the second brother be the same. The second brother is the Prince of Wei. If he can't afford serious injuries, he will shake the country of Wei..."

   "It's good to be shaken." Concubine Qin blurted out: "You stay in the capital well, won't the position of the prince be yours in the future?"

  The fourth prince frowned, his voice sank: "Mother and concubine be careful!"

"The battle between Great Wei and Yanchu is at a critical juncture. If we win, the world will be pacified and the Great Wei Wanshi Foundation will be established. In case of defeat, wars will spread everywhere, life will be ruined, and I don't know how many soldiers and civilians will die. Could it be that the concubine, for her own selfishness, is looking forward to the defeat of Great Wei. ?"

   "Under the nest, how can there be any eggs! Does the mother and concubine understand such a simple truth?"

  The fourth prince has a smooth and lovable temperament, and the mother and son have a very deep relationship. It was the first time to be so stern.

  Concubine Qin looked like she had swallowed a raw egg and opened her mouth for a long time, unable to speak.

  The fourth prince said coldly: "After I left, the mother-in-law stayed in the palace with peace of mind. She had time to accompany the imperial grandmother and take care of Cousin Yu's body by the way. For other things, the mother-in-law should not talk too much."

   After saying that, he got up and left.

   Qin Fei couldn't catch up, she slumped on the chair, covered her face and started crying again.

  The fourth prince went back to his home in a hurry.

  The evening breeze of spring blew warmly on the handsome face of the fourth prince. The blood in his chest was also surging with the wind.

   He didn't know if he would regret it in the future. At least for now, he has no regrets.

   Of course he wanted to be a prince. All princes want to be princes, there is nothing ashamed or embarrassed to admit. But he is not like the big brother, he does not have such deep obsession. Furthermore, in addition to the throne, there is brotherhood.

   Even if it is thin, it is deeply hidden in the blood.

  The sound of hooves broke the tranquility of the night, and soon came to the door of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. At the main entrance, stood a familiar figure, not tall, delicate and charming.

   is Zhao Yu waiting for his return.

  The fourth prince's heart was hot, he turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the door, and held Zhao Yu's hand: "It's so late, why are you still not sleeping?"

   Zhao Yu still didn't know what happened, and replied with a smile: "I sleep a lot during the day, and I'm not sleepy at all. You haven't come back, so I'll just wait for you at the door."

  The fourth prince bowed his head and kissed his daughter-in-law: "My daughter-in-law is so kind to me."

   Zhao Yu spat at him with a smile, and happily joined him hand in hand into the house.

   After returning to the yard, the couple hugged each other and whispered.

   She was more than five months pregnant, like a half-sized ball. Loose clothes can't cover the bulge of the stomach.

  The fourth prince put his arms around her shoulders and reached out to touch her stomach: "I have something to tell you."

   Zhao Yu finally sensed something was wrong, raised his head and looked at the fourth prince's face: "Did something happen? You usually smile, why are you so serious today?"

  The Fourth Prince: "…"
