"Her face sank." "You've seen it. You can leave now."
The smile on Qin Rui's lips became even more obvious. "You're worried about me after you kicked me out?"
"Duan Xiaohe hardened her heart. I'm worried about myself. If he finds out that I'm still connected to you, I won't be able to take the consequences. "
Qin Rui was absolutely sure that Duan Xiaohe kicked him out because he was worried about him. She was the blood sister of the little Emperor. Judging from how nervous the little Emperor was towards her, even if he really couldn't handle it, it would still be Qin Rui's problem. Who told him to come and go freely in such a heavily guarded place? Wasn't this equivalent to slapping the little emperor in the face?
Therefore, Duan Xiaohe was basically worried for his safety.
Thinking of this, Qin Rui immediately felt gratified.
When Duan Xiaohe saw the little excitement in his eyes, she was confused and confused. There must be something wrong with this person's head!
"I really can't stay here any longer. I'll be going back first. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Just as Qin Rui stood up, he was pulled back by Duan Xiaohe. She spoke a little urgently: "You're colluding with the enemy nation's people?"
His eyes were deep. "The news leaked out so quickly?"
Duan Xiaohe panicked, "Why are you so stupid! Even if you started the rebellion, it would be better than colluding with your enemies. Do you want to die? "
Qin Rui suddenly pressed his body down, his two faces almost touching. If I want to die, can you come with me? "
Duan Xiaohe was startled, and replaced the answer with silence. Qin Rui opened his mouth once again and laughed bitterly and self-deprecatingly.
"You're crazy! What kind of place is this, where you can come whenever you want? Didn't you see that I'm pregnant now? This is someone else's child. You want someone like me? You can accept women who have been with other men, and you can help other men raise sons? There's something wrong with your head! "
"His beautiful eyebrows creased a little." When I first heard that you were pregnant, I really wanted to come over and kill this child. But I can't bear it. Since you want this child, I want it too. If you say that there's something wrong with my head, then just assume that there's something wrong with me. "
"Duan Xiaohe's heart stopped, and she turned her face to the side. Don't come back. When you come back, I'll send you directly to the little emperor. "
"You won't."
After leaving these three words behind with absolute confidence, Qin Rui turned around and left.
On the second day, not only did Duan Xiaohe, who always sought for peace, call Rui Dong in, she even called for the two little girls to stand guard inside the house. The two girls were also very clever. One of them was embroidering and the other was spinning. They were jealous of her.
The two girls were still a little worried about her identity, they did not dare speak much, Rui Dong had already served her for a period of time, and curiously asked why she suddenly wanted to get close to someone to serve, and why she called three people. Duan Xiaohe looked like she was bored to death and said that it would be more lively if she stayed alone. Rui Dong, this curious baby, asked her what was prenatal depression. She thought about it and said it was probably just a woman's depression during pregnancy.
Rui Dong was shocked, she had heard this kind of thing many times in the palace, it was true. Rui Dong anxiously asked her several times whether these few people were enough, how about she call a few more people in to create a commotion?
Duan Xiaohe's brows twitched, it was good to say that there were so few people, if there were too many of them then it would be too noisy.
Rui Dong nodded seriously, and after being silent for a while, he asked her if she wanted to go out and have some fun. She asked Rui Dong what the fun was going on outside? In her mind, she immediately thought of those coquettish ladies from the brothels. 'Isn't this what the ancients call fun?'
Who knew that Rui Dong was only talking about some acrobatic drama, but Duan Xiaohe shook her head when she heard it. She wasn't in the mood to look at all these things. She would rather be alone.
After a while, she suddenly said that it was someone from the palace, Duan Xiaohe quickly got up and pressed her down again. She said that the little Emperor told her to stay in bed and not go anywhere. At this moment, the head of the palace was only giving out gifts. If the little emperor were to personally come, would he need to be notified? He definitely would have attacked them long ago.
With that, Rui Dong went outside, and after a while, she brought some things in and placed them on top of Duan Xiaohe's bed.
In front of her were a few books, all of which were a copy of some folk anecdotes and mysterious events, used to relieve her boredom.
Duan Xiaohe laughed foolishly for a while, thinking that the little Emperor was truly considerate. She picked up a random book and flipped through two pages. It was indeed very interesting. Rui Dong was afraid that she might hurt her eyes, so after looking for a while, she told her to put down the book and rest for a while.
Afraid that they would disturb her reading, Rui Dong and the two girls did not dare speak anymore, and quietly continued with what they were doing. The room was so quiet that only the sounds of books flipping and lines moving could be heard. It was quiet and depressing.
Duan Xiaohe did not know where she saw it from, but she placed his book down and started laughing, causing the few girls to look terrified. She wiped the tears of joy from the corner of her eyes and saw the girls looking at her in unison. She stopped smiling and cleared her throat. She pushed her book to the side and told them that she needed to sleep for a while and told them to stay inside the house.
Rui Dong was even more confused, and subconsciously looked at the ceiling. After Duan Xiaohe finished sleeping, he even called the guards in to walk around the room. After determining that there was no danger, she finally let go of her worry.
After doing this for a month, Qin Rui really did not have the chance to appear again.
On this day, the Little County Princess came over hurriedly, saying that he had a message for Qian Qiaoqiao. Duan Xiaohe disagreed and asked Little County Princess what was going on.
"Old Man Liu can't do it anymore. It's been just a few days."
Duan Xiaohe shuddered and sat up from the bed. She was so scared that she quickly supported her up and asked her if she was feeling any discomfort, if her stomach was feeling any discomfort, and if she was dizzy …
She told Rui Dong to shut up, grabbed the Little County Princess and asked: "What do you mean, Old Man Liu can't do it anymore?"
"The news was sent by Liu Er to Qian Qiaoqiao. He said that his father was hanging in the air wanting his eldest grandson to return and give him the spirit tablet."
Duan Xiaohe's heart sunk. She lifted off her blanket and put on her shoes, saying that she wanted to go into the palace to find the little emperor. The Little County Princess and Rui Dong pulled her aside and advised her to think things over carefully.
Right now, her body wasn't too well, and she couldn't bear the torment. Since she only wanted to return, then she will send back her attainments. After she finishes with this matter, then she will return.
Duan Xiaohe shook her head. She was not at ease if someone told her to go back alone. Furthermore, although the Old Man Liu was sometimes confused, but they were still a family.
Seeing that she insisted on entering the palace, the Little County Princess could only accompany her to meet the little emperor. It was rare for the little Emperor to hear the news of Duan Xiaohe coming to the palace to ask for an audience with a certain concubine palace. After abandoning her beauty, he rushed over.
This matter had already been made clear to her by the little Emperor. Everything in the countryside had nothing to do with her. Now, for a completely unrelated person, she actually wanted to drag this body that couldn't stand any pain back to that countryside?
"That is not an unrelated person! He was the father of my former husband, an old man who had lived with me for almost five years. I have to go on this trip. "
The little emperor's face was gloomy as a storm was brewing. Even the Little County Princess was a little nervous when he saw this.
"I'm going to bring an imperial physician. I'll come back immediately after Liu Family is done."
"You know that it's best for you to rest your life on the bed right now. If there's a mistake while you're on the road, would you want to cause the entire Liu Village to be destroyed?"
Duan Xiaohe's head buzzed for a moment, as she looked at the little emperor in disbelief. The little emperor sneered, "I have long been sick of living alone in the palace for so many years. You are the only family I have in this world, I will not allow any accidents to happen to you. My dear sister's life is not something that those few dozen lives of Liu Village can even compare to. Even if I were to be scolded as a monarch, I would definitely not allow you to use your life to joke around. "
Little County Princess knew that she was worried about him travelling alone, so he opened his mouth and said that he could send him over. After everything was settled, he would return him back to her.
Duan Xiaohe remained unmoved. From start to finish, she had insisted on going there herself.
The ancients were hypocritical and always felt that being pregnant was a matter of the utmost importance. Of course, she had been in danger a few times before, but now that her body was well nourished, she wasn't as delicate as she was now. Liu Village wasn't far, and bringing along an imperial physician along the way, meant that nothing bad would happen if the carriage was slightly more comfortable.
Old Man Liu was Liu San's father and even more so, the grandfather of his unborn baby. This trip was not only for her attainment in cultivation, but also for himself.
This time, she had to go!
Duan Xiaohe kneeled on the ground with her belly out and her back straightened, looking at the little Emperor with a neither humble nor arrogant manner. The little Emperor was somewhat moved and turned his gaze away from her.
"I've never asked anyone in my life, and I have to go. I know that the recent outbreaks and floods have given you a headache, and you will soon be at war with the enemy. In this way, I will give all my wealth to the imperial government. When it's time to cure the epidemic situation, I will treat the flood. It was almost autumn and the Great Chong was not as strong as the enemy's. Before the winter even arrived, some people would freeze to death. I'll use all my money for my pay, clothes and food, and we'll be able to fight the enemy, won't we? Liu Yang, I just want to go back and take a look. "
Little County Princess was moved when he heard this, and automatically asked to accompany Duan Xiaohe. On the way back, it should be fine if they walked slower. The little Emperor stood by the Dragon Throne with his hands behind his back, looking deeply at her.
Although Great Chong seemed to be a respectable empire, it wasn't actually abundant in the national treasury. The little emperor knew that Duan Xiaohe was rich, but he didn't ask anyone to find out how much money she actually had. The money she was talking about was exactly what the little Emperor needed the most right now.
The little Emperor finally nodded and agreed to this matter. That afternoon, Duan Xiaohe called for people to take the bills that she had deposited in all the banks in the Qinghe County and the Mingan County to the palace. The eunuch beside him counted and found a total of ten thousand silver and a thousand gold.
Accompanied by the Little County Princess, Duan Xiaohe, together with Rui Dong and her attainments in cultivation, and adding an imperial physician, they rode on a spacious and comfortable carriage and brought over a dozen guards along the way as they majestically set off.
Just as the carriage reached the Liu Village entrance, they heard someone running around saying that the Old Man Liu's family was truly pitiful, and they did not know what kind of evil they had done, for Liu Er's daughter was actually in front of them dying.
