"A Rong, I …" Just as Xuanyuan Chen wanted to explain himself, he saw Xie Qingrong raise her hand and interrupt him. The sarcastic smile on her face had disappeared, but it was replaced with a relaxed one.
Xuanyuan Chen was a little confused.
Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing both looked at Xie Qingrong with a bit of worry. Could it be that the excitement was too great, causing them to …
Xie Qingrong touched her stomach, the disdain on her face became even thicker: Gongsun Yan? "What is it?"
"You're mine." He raised his hand and wrapped it around Xuanyuan Chen's neck, indicating his sovereignty.
Xuanyuan Chen's forehead was pressed tightly against Xie Qingrong's, and with a chuckle, he replied in a low voice, "I'm yours."
Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing looked at each other, watching the dramatic scene.
But how should he deal with this Gongsun Yan?
Looking at the time on the letter, it should have been a few days ago. Gongsun Yan should be on her way to the Heavenly Saint now.
Thinking about that, Shen Haoxuan couldn't help but let out a cold smile, "Gongsun Heng is quite the schemer. Since he wants to marry the Heavenly Saint, why would he need to increase his troops in the Jiang Prefecture?"
Shang Zhiqing patted Shen Haoxuan's shoulders but did not answer his question. She only continued to organize the letters on the table, one by one, and the important ones.
"Brother-in-law, do we need to reply to these letters?" Shang Zhiqing asked after she finished arranging the letters.
"No need." Xuanyuan Chen answered. Only then did Xie Qingrong realize that he and Xuanyuan Chen were just too close, but seeing Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing who were already used to seeing each other, she chuckled and retracted the hand around Xuanyuan Chen's neck.
"Pick up some important letters and show them to me." Xie Qingrong said.
Shang Zhiqing immediately bundled up everything in a pile and gave it to Xie Qingrong. Xie Qingrong used the not very bright oil lamp to read through all the letters one by one.
He sorted out a few pieces of useful information.
The first reason was that the Yue Country had already withdrawn his troops. It seemed that Qi Yun had completely controlled the Qi Family and had helped Jun Changyou to regain control of the Yue Country, so in order to repay Shang Zhiqing for her actions, he had withdrawn the Yue Country's troops from the Heavenly Sacred Border ahead of time.
Second, in the battle between the Mo Bei and Wu Huan, Wu Huan had already lost, and the Mo Bei's food supply was only enough for him to hold on for three more months. Once the military rations were gone, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was just that there was not much food left in the Heavenly Saint Realm that could be used for war.
It seemed that he could only take out his granary.
Third, the Chu Country wanted to use the matter of Chu Country Princess Gongsun Yan and the Heavenly Sage's marriage to relax the Heavenly Sage's vigilance. No one would believe that the Chu Country truly wanted to marry the Heavenly Sage. After all, if they truly wanted to, why would they send their troops outside the Jiang Zhou City?
At this time, he had an innate marriage alliance with nature. The Chu Country had probably fallen.
To date, these three pieces of information are of the utmost importance.
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen already had a plan in their minds.
Xie Qingrong took a deep breath and spoke out the question in her heart at the same time as Xuanyuan Chen: "What do you think?"
Today, they were resting for a day in the Yongzhou. They were rushing to the Jiang Prefecture and the Mo Bei on horseback.
Xie Qingrong was a little reluctant in her heart, so she drooped her eyes in a bit of a depressed. She held onto her palm, slowly saved Xuanyuan Chen, and comforted his in a low voice: "We are only temporarily separating for a period of time. After this difficult period has passed, we will no longer be separating anymore."
"Yes." Both of his hands slowly returned to hug Xie Qingrong. He touched her protruding shoulder blades, but there wasn't even a little bit of excess flesh at the place where her bones protruded.
His heart ached.
Xie Qingrong was pregnant, but she was going to the most brutal battlefield to help him protect the Heavenly Saint.
If he was slightly more powerful, Xie Qingrong would only need to hide behind him. There was no need to do such a thing.
Puckering his lips, he once again reminded her, "Take care of yourself when you're in Jiang Prefecture. You're still pregnant, do not go to the battlefield unless you have to. Do you hear me? You and your child are not allowed to get into trouble! "
Xuanyuan Chen bit his lips, and unwillingly pressed his face close to Xie Qingrong's.
They could feel the warmth coming from Xie Qingrong's face.
"I understand. I will definitely remember your request in my heart. Furthermore, royal brother is also in Jiang Prefecture, so you don't have to worry, okay? " Xie Qingrong whispered into his ear.
"Since royal brother is there, then can you follow me to the Mo Bei? I don't feel at ease with you, or can we return to the Heavenly Saint's Palace and peacefully wait for labour with the royal sister-in-law? "How about it?" Xuanyuan Chen said with a bit of grievance.
He really did not wish for Xie Qingrong and the child in his stomach to encounter any kind of accident. He would rather the battle end a little later than to let Xie Qingrong be safe.
Xie Qingrong could guess what Xuanyuan Chen was thinking at the bottom of his heart. Facing this kind of Xuanyuan Chen, she seemed to be unable to reject him, but she could not.
Recalling the insistence she had in her heart, she rejected Xuanyuan Chen's request: "Chen, I know that you're doing this for my own good, but you should understand that I really want to be able to fly in the sky with you shoulder to shoulder. I am a male eagle, not a wild chicken."
Hearing Xie Qingrong's reply, Xuanyuan Chen became silent. He naturally understood what Xie Qingrong meant, but in the past two years, he had allowed Xie Qingrong to be on the outside and let her suffer countless injuries for him. Yet, he could only continue to deceive himself with this kind of reason. It really was a very cowardly action.
This time, he would not tolerate Xie Qingrong any longer. He would let Xie Qingrong safely stay in a safe place, as far as he could see.
"A Rong, if you are not willing to return to the capital and safely give birth to your child, then stay by my side.
Xuanyuan Chen once again stated his request.
Xie Qingrong's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness, and finally agreed. "Alright, I can promise you that I will accompany you in the Mo Bei, but I don't like you to restrict my freedom. You have to remember, I can be by your side, not just a woman hiding behind you. "
Seeing this Xie Qingrong, Shang Zhiqing suddenly laughed softly.
Her elder sister had finally learned how to retreat, instead of forever advancing forward. All this time, she felt that there was something strange about the interactions between Xie Qingrong and her.
Originally, it was strange. Neither of the two was willing to give in, but Xuanyuan Chen had always been compromising. Now that Xie Qingrong had learned to give way, the relationship between the two became even more harmonious.
It was all thanks to the child's luck.
Shen Haoxuan pulled Shang Zhiqing's hand and threw her a look. Shang Zhiqing immediately understood and held onto Shen Haoxuan's hand, following his will and walked out of the room, leaving the space between Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen.
