As soon as Mu Xuanyin finished speaking, Hua Mu Jin frowned.
At the same time, Mu Xuanyin also looked at her in a probing manner. He was trying to organize the things that he was about to say so that Hua Mu Jin wouldn't be so worried about him.
"Is your bad news about me, or about the baby?"
If it was bad news about her, Hua Mujiao felt that she could accept it.
But if there was bad news about the child, she would be at a loss.
Looking at the nervous expression on Hua Mu Jin's face, Mu Xuanyin softly sighed.
Then, he opened his mouth and said, "A few days ago, when I was taking your pulse, I noticed that there was cold poison in your body. I didn't tell you because this cold poison didn't corrode the child in your stomach, but right now you are carrying a twin, because one of them absorbed the cold poison in your body, so I'm afraid that your pulse is weak …"
After he finished speaking, Mu Xuanyin looked like a soulless flower hibiscus, and didn't know what to say.
Originally, there were very few people who were able to conceive twins. This was a matter that made one very happy.
However, she was located in the imperial harem. She was favored by the emperor, and there were naturally many people who were eyeing her covetously. The number of people who wanted to take her life was not few.
Although the cold poison in her body wasn't heavy, if she continued to consume it for a long period of time, her life would be in danger.
After a long time, Hua Mu Jin touched her stomach and asked in an extremely weak voice: "Is there any way to save him?"
Looking at the soulless Hua Mu Jin, Mu Xuanyin felt a bit of heartache.
"There is a way, but I'm not sure if it will work. I can only give it a try."
When she heard Mu Xuanyin say that there was a way, Hua Mu Jin looked at her with a grateful expression.
"Then I'll be troubling Royal Uncle. Thank you too."
The name 'royal uncle' warmed Mu Xuanyin's heart.
Seeing this woman in front of him who had the same appearance as his royal sister, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
"Since you're called Royal Uncle, then you and I are a family. Why should we express our gratitude?" When he returned, he had to be careful of those overt and covert fights in the imperial harem. It was impossible to guard against them. If you are soft-hearted, you will be trapped with your child in a place of no return, understand? "
Hearing this, Hua Mu Jin forced out a smile and nodded.
"I know, thank you for your reminder, uncle." As she spoke, Hua Mu Jin suddenly looked at Mu Xuanyin with a dark expression.
She moved her lips and continued, "Regarding the matter of the twins and the cold poison in my body, I hope that Royal Uncle won't tell anyone, especially him."
The 'he' that Hua Mujiao spoke of, Mu Xuanyi knew who it was.
He nodded his head, "Alright, I'll prescribe some birth control medicine for you. After you return to Huan Yue Country, follow the instructions I gave you." But you have to remember, it's not like you take your birth control medicine every day and your baby will be fine. You need to protect yourself. If someone succeeds and gives you medicine, the child in your stomach will become your sacrifice. "
Hua Mujiao clenched her teeth, and her hands clenched into fists. Her nails dug into her palms.
She swore in her heart that she would never let anyone hurt her child again!
For three days in a row, Hua Mu Jin didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary in front of Bai Zhan Ke, and Bai Zhan Ke naturally didn't know about the cold poison in her body and the matter of the child.
On this day, evening.
"Niangniang, this servant just heard from Vice Commander Luo that General Shangguan left early this morning to go to the border pass. Could it be that you want to …"
Green Bamboo did not continue the following words.
However, her words caused Hua Mujiao to be extremely surprised.
She had never even heard of Shangguan Yi leaving early in the morning.
"Are you sure it was Luo Chen who said that?"
Green Bamboo nodded and said, "When I was fetching water for you, I met Vice Commander Luo. He looked flustered, and I thought something had happened, so I asked him casually. Then Vice Commander Luo said that there was some movement in the State of Heaven's Radiance and General Shangguan was worried that the State of Heaven would sneak in, so he rushed to the border."
Hua Mujiao frowned. It's only been five days, could it be that there are already movements in the State of Tianzhao?
The news about the crown prince of the Skylaurel Kingdom spread rather quickly.
"Empress, tell me, will there really be a war?"
"Don't worry about that. If there's nothing else, you can go rest early. Maybe we'll have to leave tomorrow as well."
These words were originally from Hua Mu Jin's mouth, but she didn't expect that what she said was true.
By the time he returned to the main hall, it was already late at night.
Hua Mu Jin didn't fall asleep. She was waiting for him.
"What happened?"
Bai Zhan Ke looked at her before sitting down on the edge of the bed and gently stroking her head.
"The Heavenly Light Empire has already sent a hundred thousand men and horses to the border between the two countries. Shangguan Yi'er will be leaving early this morning, and we have to return to the Huan Yue Country tomorrow."
He leaned close to her and kissed her lightly on the lips.
Afterwards, he said, "Jin'er, you are pregnant and your body is still injured. Wait for some time in the Southern Kingdom. After the war is over, I will send someone to pick you up."
"This is bad!"
As soon as Bai Zhan Yun finished his sentence, Hua Mujiao replied with one word.
"Jin'er, listen to me. We don't want anything to happen to you and our child."
Bai Zhan Ke spoke gently, his eyes filled with worry and reluctance.
But even so, Hua Mu Jin could not listen to him and remained in the Southern Kingdom.
"If you always make me listen to you, then why don't you listen to me? I'm going back to Huan Yue with you, I won't stay no matter what you say. It will never be possible for me to see you leave me! "
Hua Mujie was determined not to stay, which made Bai Zhan Ke feel a bit helpless.
But with her personality, he couldn't persuade her either.
"Fine, you'll go back with me tomorrow, but you'll be on a hurry. Promise me that if you feel unwell on the way back, you'll have to tell me, understand?"
Hua Mu Jin nodded with a "En", then tightly hugged the man in front of her.
That night, Bai Zhan Ke didn't sleep, and after they finished explaining everything to him, it was already dawn.
"Little girl, I won't stop you from going back, but you have to remember this. When you return to the Southern Kingdom more often, you have to pay a visit to my grandma. Don't let my grandma worry about you." Also, the imperial harem is filled with evil, you have to be careful not to get bullied. If anyone dares to bully you, get someone to pass a message to me, I will definitely not spare them. "
Outside the palace, the queen held onto Hibiscus Flower's hand, unwilling to let go.
She had lost her daughter for twenty years, and now that she had her daughter back, but only for a short time, she had to leave again. The more the queen thought about it, the more miserable she felt.
"Grandmother, don't worry. With the emperor's favor, who would dare to bully me?" Furthermore, I am a princess of the Southern Kingdom right now. Even if I give them eight hundred guts, they still wouldn't dare to touch me, right? "
Seeing the Queen's face filled with unwillingness and worry, Hua Mu Jin felt a little sad.
In order not to worry the queen, she had to speak lightly.
"Girl, I was serious with you, you only know how to talk big. "Don't forget what I've told you. Don't be merciful to the women in the imperial harem, or you'll be at a great disadvantage. Do you understand?"
"Enough, the little girl Jin Jin isn't a child, so don't worry about that. In a few months, she'll be a mother." You, too, think of her as a child. "
Just as Hibiscus Blossom didn't know how to persuade the queen, the Southern King walked over.
"So what if she is a mother? In my eyes, she will forever be my little girl."
"Good, good, good. You're right. Then, can you let me talk to little girl Jin Jin for a bit?"
Seeing that the queen was angry, the king had to surrender.
As she looked at her grandma and grandpa, Hua Mu Jin was filled with envy.
What she saw in them was real, white-headed love.
"Little girl Jin, there's nothing to say about being alone. It's not safe around you, so I picked two people from the dark guard and told them to follow you to protect you."
As he spoke, the king shot a look at the two dark guards behind him.
The guard took a step forward and bowed to Hua Mu Jin.
"Your subordinate pays his respects to the princess."
"Your subordinate Yan Hua greets the princess."
Looking at the two guards, Hua Mujiao didn't know what to do.
She looked at the Southern King and was about to speak, but the Southern King grabbed her by the hand and said, "Girl, you better not. Just you and Yan Hua are the most powerful warriors in the dark guard, you have too many dangers around you."
Even though the Southern King had said so, Flower Hibiscus still found it hard to accept.
After all, this was a person who protected and consoled the country's ruler. How could she allow them to protect a girl like her?
"But, Royal Grandfather, if you send them to me, then you …"
"Don't worry about the oligarchs. There are a lot of dark guards around the oligarchs. Rest assured, from now on, even if they are your people, they will definitely be loyal to you. "
Listening to the words of the Southern King, Hua Mujiao's heart was very moved.
However, she still could not accept this.
"Royal Grandfather, thank you for being so kind to me. However, you are the ruler of a country. Compared to me, you are much more important. Therefore, it is best for you to take her back."
Seeing that Hibiscus Flower was unwilling to accept it, the face of the Southern King changed.
Then, he actually said to the two secret guards in a stern voice, "Since the princess doesn't want to accept you, then you two can hang yourselves!"
To hang yourself?
Wasn't that asking them to commit suicide?
Hua Mujiao stared at the Southern King in astonishment, then he saw that the two secret guards had actually pulled out their swords from their waists.
"Wait, wait …"
Hua Mujiao was somewhat helpless. She refused to accept this because she felt that the one that these two secret guards should be protecting was the King of the South, not her.
But now, she …
"Jin'er, since the king is determined, you can keep him."
At this time, Bai Zhan Ke walked over, he looked at Dan Yu and Yan Hua, and also persuaded Hua Mu Jin to accept them.
Helpless, Hua Mu Jin could only nod.
"Alright then, thank you, Royal Grandfather."
"That's right."
"Howl, howl …"
Just as they finished talking, the cry of an eagle came from above their heads.
