In the quiet bamboo garden, Murong Yu was equally anxious. The Jiang couple had never come to the bamboo garden, and Feng Zhiyuan didn't care about the affairs of the world at all, so they had no way of knowing what was going on outside.
Although Yun Sheng knew that he had something on his mind and had asked him to return first, how could he leave Yun Sheng at such a time? Although he was extremely fast, he definitely could not leave now, as he saw that Yun Shengyue was about to be born.
However, worry was unavoidable. If there was no news of them, for royal father, it meant that he had lost two sons, plus his royal grandson, and then his only remaining brother had openly rebelled, which would make him sad and angry. He had been thinking about how his father would deal with the current situation, how there were still a few generals in the imperial court, but not many would be able to make him feel at ease and dispatch them to pacify the disorder.
Although it looked like the assassination of the crown prince and Yue'er's kidnapping weren't caused by Imperial Concubine Lian or Duke Ming, the emperor was still somewhat sad. He had heard that Murong Fu was also sick, so he didn't know if he was injured or suffering from a heart attack. No matter what, even if he wasn't sick, the royal father wouldn't send him to quell the chaos.
Old General Hong was still guarding the southern border, while Hong Zilong and Wei Cheng were still leading the Jin Jia Army, both of them could not move rashly, and there was also General Zheng, but he was just a strong general, brave and strong, his wits were a little weak, and he could not rely on his courage alone to handle matters of peace and harmony. He must have prepared well enough in his twenty years of preparation, and only then would he dare to publicly rebel, even though he had never seen his uncle, but according to his style, he was definitely not an impulsive person.
He knew that his worry had already affected Yun Shengyue's mood. Yue Er didn't want it to affect his decision because of her at all, but in reality, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable just because he chose to be with her. He was willing to stay by her side at all times.
His father had no choice but to face it, he would definitely make it through it, but he had to retract his thoughts and properly accompany Yue'er. Their child was about to be born, and Old Senior Feng had also said that it would be difficult to determine which day would come, so they had to be prepared at any time.
"Yu, look, are these beautiful flowers?" She was dressed in an ordinary cotton dress that had been washed to the point of being pale. She did not have a belt on, and her waist was somewhat bloated. However, the smile on her face was calm and serene, with an elegant calmness that was gradually beginning to radiate a maternal lustre.
Murong Yu quickly went up to her and held her up before replying with a smile, "Do you like these wild flowers? You should have told me to pick them. With such a big stomach, how could you stoop down to pick them?"
"I didn't pick it. It was sent by the mute, Nushan. Although the child can't speak, he is very clever and understanding." Although it was just a small flower that could be seen everywhere in the bamboo house, it was just as pleasing to the eyes.
Murong Yu said in a slightly jealous tone, "Kid, you already know how to please women at such a young age. You're not allowed to take his flowers again in the future. If you like them, I'll pick them for you every day."
"Haha …" Shan Wa was only thirteen or fourteen years old, so how could he understand this? It was just that there were no outsiders in the valley, and she was kind, so when she bent down to pick the flowers, he quickly picked one and gave it to her, "Just a child, don't mind me. These wildflowers aren't good for feeding, it's better to grow them in the wild. If you pick a bunch every day, you'll be able to pick them out very quickly from the front of the house."
"How are you feeling? "Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?" Murong Yu helped her back into the room and sat down. Although Yun Shengyue wasn't a weak woman, he still felt that she would be very tired when he saw how big her belly was.
"I'm fine, don't be so nervous. What were you thinking just now? Are you still worried about royal father?"
"There are always worries, but I believe that Imperial Father and the ministers will be able to resolve this rebellion together. You and I will stay in this bamboo garden and quietly wait for our child to be born."
Yun Shengyue opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before changing the subject. "I wonder why Auntie Jiang is not here yet?"
"Yeah, I was just worrying too. She promised to help you get a midwife in, but she still hasn't come in the blink of an eye, even after so many days." None of them understood how to give birth to a child. Although Feng Zhiyuan was a genius doctor, he didn't help a woman to give birth to a child. No matter what, he was a man, so it wasn't convenient.
"It must be because senior Jiang isn't happy. Senior Jiang doesn't seem to like coming to the bamboo garden, but he always follows Auntie Jiang when she comes. It's quite fun, we're all this age …" Just thinking of the scene when the three elders met made Yun Sheng want to laugh.
Even though the three seniors weren't young, they still had the same feelings as when they were young. Old Senior Feng still liked Auntie Jiang, and even if he wasn't willing to do what she told him to do, he would still do it to the fullest extent. Although Old Senior Jiang loved to be jealous and didn't wish for her to meet him, but he wouldn't forcefully stop her.
"Auntie Jiang's promise will not be missed. The midwife will definitely come here before you give birth to your child."
"Young master believes in this old woman to the point that this old woman is ashamed." As he was speaking, Auntie Jiang's hearty laughter came from outside the room, followed by two beautiful women in their forties. "It's all the old man's fault for delaying for a few days, and these two are the famous midwives of the 80s. With their midwives and old man Feng, the young master and young madam should be able to relax now, right?"
Auntie Jiang still held back her words and didn't reveal the identities of Murong Yu and Wang Jiexi. She thought things through for them, so Murong Yu cupped his hands in gratitude and saluted, "Thank you Auntie Jiang and Senior Jiang for taking care of me!"
"Thank you so much, Auntie!" Yun Sheng quickly thanked her. Having a midwife was indeed a lot of comfort for her. It was her first time having a child, so she had no idea what the situation was like.
Although Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue were both wearing ordinary clothes, their auras were different from that of an ordinary person's. Furthermore, the Jiang couple had given them quite a bit of money as well, so the two of them knew how to be polite. Although they were confused about the way they had come, and Aunty Jiang had given them a lot of rules, they did not dare to ask too much.
In fact, in her heart, she was also very unwilling to return to the city, but she had to find a way to notify a reliable guard. She really couldn't bear to make her mother feel heartbroken, even though the emperor was also sad, but the emperor was still the emperor, and he had many things to worry about, so he wouldn't have much time to grieve. And in her mother's heart, there was only her and the child in her stomach, so without them, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to continue on.
"Yu, ask senior Jiang and aunt Jiang to contact Hei Yi and the rest." After settling down the midwife, Yun Kangyue said softly.
Murong Yu held her hand and said, "Yue Er, I'm willing to accompany you alone. There's no need to inform anyone."
Yun Sheng said as he shook his head, "You can't be at ease with the current situation. I can't let mother go either. It's better to contact Black One and the others. However, I don't want to return to Jincheng temporarily. It'll make me more at ease if I stay here."
"Then we'll talk about it after you give birth." Murong Yu hesitated.
Yun Cangyue shook her head again. "It's better to contact them earlier. The situation is constantly changing. If you don't have any news, you'll be worried all day. As for mother, I still don't know what to do."
If she finds out that we're still alive, perhaps she will let some people know something from our expressions. There should be a hidden motive in the manor, we can't help but be on guard. Should we let Black One and the others secretly bring her out?
"That's not good. I only suspect Jue'er, but I don't have any evidence. Perhaps there is someone else. If mother suddenly disappeared, then it will definitely arouse suspicion. Let's think about it …"
"Think about what?" You should have made your decision long ago. Don't let this old man always run around. " Just as they were discussing, Jiang Wuwei suddenly popped up out of nowhere and said coldly, "These two are the ones who came and went as they please."
"Sorry for troubling you, senior!" Murong Yu also bowed as a junior.
Jiang Wuwei remained expressionless as he snorted coldly before saying to Murong Yu, "The Emperor has already sent Lan Ruocheng to lead two hundred thousand troops to settle this mess. That brat is usually careless, but I don't know if it will work out. I heard that the Southern Wilderness is also in an uproar. The Southern Champion might also take advantage of this situation. Bei Heng is really nosy!"
"So they sent Ruocheng." Murong Yu was slightly surprised, but he nodded his head lightly. "Ruo City can be considered an excellent candidate."
I hope that brat can do something, but in this old man's opinion, I'm afraid I still need His Royal Highness's help. Even if they're secretly helping each other, this rebellion is a lot of trouble. After saying that, Jiang Wuwei prepared to leave.
Mu Rong Yu quickly called out to him. He took out a token from his chest pocket and said, "Senior Jiang, please help this junior find Black One, give this token to him, and have him wait for me on the nearby river. Just notify him first."
"Got it!" Jiang Wuwei quickly took the token and left.
Murong Yu turned back to look at Yun Shengyue and felt a little guilty. In the end, he still couldn't rely on his subordinate's power to take care of her.
"Don't think too much into it. If it was just the two of us living in seclusion, it would be too lonely. Let's talk about the future, it's already a blessing from the heavens that we can continue living like this. As long as you are always by my side, I won't ask for anything else."
He was very excited, and did not know what to say anymore. Yue Er's heart finally belonged to him, and he had not done well enough. He must do his best to find a way to solve all the problems, to give Yue'er a safe and beautiful home, a home for them and their children.
Royal father, the Southern Champion certainly isn't just ordinary harassment. They will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack the Southern Wilderness. This son is willing to head to the Southern Wilderness to help Old General Hong suppress the Southern Champion." Mu Rong Zhen's body had already recovered, but he still looked a bit gloomy, and there was no sunlight in his eyes. Currently, Nanzhao was only making a small fuss, as if he was probing something, but they couldn't help but be on guard.
However, no matter if it's the northwest or the southern border, I will not allow you to go. In the south, we will send General Zheng to help, and in the northwest, we have Lan Ruo City as well as a few other city guards. I believe that they will bring back good news to us. "
"Your son is only worried …"
We will also be worried, but I, Ming'er, don't have to worry about war and chaos right now, if you are in good health, just help me look after the officials in the court. We have been indulging them too much in these past few years, and have just let them off the hook for those who are sloppy and slow, but if there is anyone who is having an affair with the Carefree King, we will definitely punish them severely and not neglect them, and who can use them, who can't be used, and who can't be replaced without a change in their expression, which will bring us great benefits in the future, do you understand?
Murong Fu bowed his head and said, "This son understands!"
"Mm, you can leave now!"
"Yes sir!"
After hesitating for a moment, he said earnestly, "My son, I may have been a little cold to you, but it's not that I don't care for you, you've been living outside the palace for ten years and I can't take care of you. That's not what I wanted, but now that you've returned to the palace, you're also wholeheartedly trying to help me share my worries, I'm very happy, but now, I hope that you can take good care of yourself. I know that your mother has a grudge in her heart, but the crown prince has already stopped understanding her, and even Yu'er needs to be properly persuaded.
"This son understands, this son will definitely pacify mufei. royal father, you don't have to worry." In fact, the fact that the Emperor was willing to speak to him like this was already a matter of confidence and confidence. He had often been pestered by Qian Yulian, but as a human being, so what? If this woman had feelings for him, then it was true that she could do a lot of things.
When Murong Mingtian returned to the Jadeite Temple, he saw Qian Yulian, Baili Xiu, Zhong Hanxue, and a bunch of beautiful women chatting and laughing in the main hall. He couldn't help feeling annoyed and wanted to sneak into the study, but he was already found out.
"Oh, his majesty is back." A beauty sitting below him cried out. What was there to be surprised about when she saw him in his jadeite palace?
However, while everyone was looking over at him, Murong Chong had no choice but to enter. His expression was extremely indifferent.
"Bao`er, it's good that you came back. There are several concubines helping you find some pretty girls. Mufei is picking them out for you right now. Come and take a look, quickly, which one do you like." Qian Yulian opened her mouth and smiled. On the table in front of her was a pile of paintings of beauties.
"Mufei, now that I'm worrying about external matters, I don't have any intention of doing so." He did not hide his displeasure at all. Baili Xiu and Zhong Hanxue both lowered their heads, their expressions unreadable.
Qian Yulian was a little unhappy, but she still said in a gentle voice, "Mufei knows that you and Your Majesty are worried about the affairs of the country day after day, but these matters of the nation, family and world have always been placed on the same side. We can't just let our days end because of some people causing trouble, right? The various maids want to recommend you more so that you can have more branches and leaves for the imperial family, this is also a very important matter!"
Now that everyone saw that he was the only prince left, they naturally came up to fawn on him. They sent their daughters to the palace for the benefit of the family, Qian Yulian was happy to accept their flattery, but he did not care and did not have any time to think about it.
"Mufei, don't worry about these matters anymore. This son only wants to help father out with the matters of the kingdom and nothing else. Please stay well at the Jade Lotus Palace too, and don't keep summoning outsiders. Can you just wait quietly?"
"You! What do you mean by that! " Mu Rong Zhen had never spoken with such a cold tone before, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in his words. Qian Yulian heard that something was wrong, so she hurriedly stood up. Her hair was shining with a golden light, but her expression was extremely ugly.
"This son doesn't have any other intentions. It's fine for mufei to live in peace. As for other matters, this subject and Imperial Father will naturally make decisions." Mu Rong Ming was also unwilling to say anything more.
Qian Yulian was so angry that she started laughing. "Good, good!" Isn't mufei doing all this for your own good? It's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but now that your wings have hardened, you can do whatever you want. Mufei has her own plans, so don't even think about taking care of mufei's matters! "
Qian Yulian left the palace in a rage. Baili Xiu and Zhong Hanxue looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. After Qian Yulian left, Murong Ying shook his head and left the main hall. They didn't even greet the two of them.
