Before the first wave subsided, another wave arose. In the end, Nanke still sent her troops to suppress the southern border.

When it came to Southern Champion Kingdom, the political situation was actually not stable. The death of the late Emperor was somewhat unclear, and although it was said that he died of illness to the outside world, the people who knew the truth all knew that there was illness, but they would not die. The sudden death was very strange, but there was no evidence.

The new emperor was the eldest son of the late emperor, which was also known as the crown prince Lu Shixun. As the eldest son, Lu Shixun was born the earliest, and when the late emperor ascended to the throne, he had already turned fifteen. He was already forty years old, and had been the crown prince for a full twenty-five years.

The second son was ten years younger than the crown prince and had a steady life. He was born from the previous emperor's favorite concubine and had many supporters, but he accidentally broke his son's neck when he was shooting and hunting last year. The emperor doted on his son and felt heartache.

How could Lu Shixun possibly investigate these suspicious points of the new emperor so easily? The emperor had already done it, and whoever he wanted to kill, wasn't it just a matter of words? Many court officials were given to officials or even accidentally died, and the rest of the weaker ones didn't dare to make a sound.

As for the other princes of the Southern Champion Kingdom, other than the Third Prince Lu Shixun, there were also the Fifth Prince Lu Shiwei, the Seventh Prince Lu Shizhong, and the Ninth Prince Lu Shize. However, other than Lu Shixun who was twenty-five years old and was doing well and had a good reputation in the imperial court, the Fifth Prince was still an eighteen year old boy.

Therefore, when the new emperor ascended to the throne, he became more and more low-profile, and occasionally, his name would spread far and wide. When Lu Shiyun got married, she even took advantage of her brotherly love and hid herself away in Bei Heng.

Lu Shixun was just worrying that he had nothing to gain from this, so he was also overjoyed. Although there were some advisors to advise him, he still decided to mobilize the troops after some consideration, and this was all within Lu Shixun's expectations because some advisors had told the new emperor not to send him. If that happened, the military power would fall into his hands, but unfortunately, he was the most familiar with the military power in the Southern Champion army, so even if the military power was not in his hands, he would naturally have other methods to command the three armies in the future.

Actually, it was not the right time to attack Bei Heng yet. The internal strife of the Carefree King had not reached the point where the emperor could not handle it. The southern defenders were still enough, and the new emperor did not have the ability to fight.

However, there was suddenly no news of Lu Shiyun. Right now, he only knew that she had already left the imperial palace of Beheng, and he did not know where she had gone to, which made him a little worried. He truly felt sorry for his only sibling, it was a pity that he did not know that Lu Shiyun was really unlucky right now, otherwise he would have been even more anxious.

"Come, come, come! Eat all of these medicine!" Other than delivering the medicine, they did not normally see old man Feng in the bamboo house where Yunsheng and company lived. For some reason, the old man liked to wear green clothes, and every single one of them was the same. If he did not see the clean laundry outside every day, he would really think that Old Feng never changed his clothes.

"What kind of medicine is this? It can't be as bitter as last time, right? " She believed that the medicine from Feng Zhiyuan was good stuff, but the taste was hard to say. Sometimes it was bitter, sometimes it was salty. Last time, the pills looked crystal clear and fragrant, but she had placed them all in her mouth.

Old Man Feng started to blow his beard and glare: "Look at what you're saying, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Cui likes you, I wouldn't even bother to wait on you, you'd better be at ease! This medicine will do you and the child no harm at all. "

"This junior understands. The medicine that this senior concocts is definitely unrivalled in the world. It's just that this junior fears pain. Senior, can you not make the medicine so bitter, or just make it sweet?" Yun Sheng, who was praising and acting like a spoiled child, knew that Feng Zhiyuan was the most into this.

"That's why I said you don't know anything, and wanted you to learn medicine from me. That boy with a blank look is afraid of tiring you, that licorice root is plain, other than it tastes good, it's actually useless, I don't like to use it, it's bitter, but it can help you and the child in your stomach stay healthy. If you don't want to eat it, then I'll take it."

"Alright, alright, alright. Junior will eat!" Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior. " Upon hearing his words, Yun Sheng could only frown and swallow the pills that looked pitch-black in one breath. However, these pills were surprisingly not bitter. He had truly been scared for nothing.

It wasn't clear if it was because of Auntie Jiang, but Old Man Feng had treated Yunsheng very well, but he had treated Murong Yu pretty well. Thus, when he sent the medicine over, Murong Yu stood at the side and didn't make a sound. Otherwise, it would've been very easy for the old man to get angry.

"I didn't expect the medicine to be so bitter today." Yun Sheng said with a sweet smile.

"It's a pity that there aren't any sweet plums here, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered so much yesterday. You don't like these wild fruits very much."

"It's fine. It's rare for senior to be willing to specially make medicine for me. I was even begging him to give you some medicine to make up for it, but he refused."

Indeed, ever since Murong Yu had recovered to sixty to seventy percent of his strength, old man Feng no longer wanted to give him any potions. This old man had the temper of a child, so if he wasn't willing to do something, no one could force him.

"I'm fine, I'm cultivating every day. It's already very good, there's no need to make up for it. As long as you and your child are well, I can rest assured."

"A big stomach is really tiring. I even want to go with you to meet the Dark One and the others, but unfortunately, the road isn't easy to walk on, and old Senior Feng isn't willing to let them in." The weather was getting hotter. Thankfully, the bamboo garden near the mountain was relatively cool, so all she could do was walk around the vicinity. In fact, it was rather boring.

If she was in Jincheng, she wouldn't have been able to stay with Murong Yu. Not to mention the fact that there was a Chen Jue`er in the palace, even if the previous incident had something to do with Chen Jue`er, after all this time, he was only suspected to have been kidnapped by the Carefree King, and there was no solid evidence at all. Furthermore, she had no parents, so Murong Yu probably couldn't bear to throw her aside.

"Don't worry, we'll meet in the future. I'll go out and see them very soon. Don't go out and walk around by yourself when I'm not around. You must let Mother Zhou and the others stay by your side all the time, okay?" Murong Yu carefully supported her.

Yun Sheng said with a laugh, "Don't always be so nervous. I'm already as strong as an ox. The midwives have said that walking around is beneficial for the production, so I'll be fine. But you have so many things to do, yet I can't help you at all."

"You don't need to worry about anything else. I'm going to ask Black Three to help us find a place to live in seclusion. When that happens, you will have to take care of our home yourself."

"Is that so? That's great! "We must find a place suitable for growing flowers. I must plant all kinds of flowers at the front and back of the house. I must also make some swings so that I can play with the children …" She did not want to return to Jincheng either. That place was a lot of trouble for her, and she would feel uncomfortable whenever she saw Murong Chong.

Murong Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't you say that having children is tiring? You're planning to give birth to a few more. Isn't it a bit too much work?"

However, she was actually willing to give birth to a child. She leaned on Murong Yu's shoulder and said, "A child is too lonely, it's good to have brothers and sisters. In any case, we're living in seclusion, just like normal people. Children will definitely love each other."

"Alright, then we'll have a few children. The family will be happy together." Murong Yu also started to imagine that beautiful scene. Even though he had a father and brothers, he grew up alone and didn't experience that kind of lively and harmonious atmosphere.

The blue sky, the clouds, the breeze whistling, the jade-green bamboo forest, the fragrance of the bamboo leaves, and the sound of flowing water … If they didn't think about the troubles outside the bamboo forest, it was truly a sweet and blissful afternoon for Murong Yu and Yun Shengyue.

From a distance, the servants of the bamboo garden quickly discovered it. A few of them gathered at a high place to observe carefully, perhaps because of the dryness of the wind, or perhaps because someone accidentally left a spark behind, but after a while, there were also a few that began to smoke in the east. The west and north sides were mountains, while the east and south were not far from the west river, and there were often fishermen passing by, but those who knew well would rarely stop near the bamboo forest, let alone start a fire.

Was it because those people had been so bold as to start a fire last night? How many of them were there? Would they barge into this bamboo garden? Judging from the time, Black One and the rest should be arriving soon. Murong Yu held Yun Shengyue tightly as he calculated. That old man from Feng Zhiyuan should have also been notified, yet he still hadn't shown up in the medicine hut.

"It's still far. It shouldn't burn down here, right? Aunty Jiang and the others will definitely be able to see such a huge amount of smoke." Yun Shengyue was rather calm.

Murong Yu looked at her approvingly. "Mn, there's no need to worry. Senior Jiang and the others definitely won't let anyone do whatever they want. There are a lot of disciples in the Fisherman's Gang. Someone will come to extinguish the fire."

"That's right. This old man isn't worried at all. What are you worried about?!" "Where did this bastard come from? How dare he set fire to my bamboo?! If he dares to charge into the bamboo garden, I will make sure they never return!"

He scolded and scolded for a while, constantly looking at the smoke, but he did not have the intention of going out to see what was going on. Although Murong Yu wanted to know who was so bold as to set fire to the forest, he did not dare to leave Yun Sheng Yue's side and meet Hei Yi in an hour. He hoped that the fire would not get stronger, and the Fisherman's Gang would rush over to help!

After watching for a while, the thick smoke on both sides of Feng Zhiyuan was no longer small, but he became impatient. He turned around and went back to his medicine hut, while all the mute slaves had worried looks on their faces.

It had only been a short while, but it had already been burnt black. This fire must have been made by someone, and it must have used a lot of fire oil. The bamboo was very oily, and with the help of the river wind, the fire would be able to burn so fast and fast.

The thick smoke came in a circle, it was obvious that they were rushing towards the bamboo forest. Murong Yu believed that the news of Yue'er and him should not have leaked out. It didn't seem like it. Old Man Feng had been living in seclusion for twenty years. Would there be an enemy suddenly coming to burn the bamboo forest? He was only worried that he would not know how many people had arrived. Besides setting fire to the fire, he had other tricks up his sleeves, and he had to protect Yue Er and continue to hide his identity, so he had to consider everything and everything. Unfortunately, he could not contact Black One and the rest, and if he went out to look for them, it would take at least an hour to make a trip back and forth.

Just as she was deep in thought, Yun Shengyue suddenly 'aiya' cried out and immediately pulled Murong Yu back from his thoughts. She turned her head and saw Murong Yu frowning and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"My stomach seems to be in pain …" Yun Shengyue placed a hand on her waist and concentrated for a moment before saying, "It doesn't seem to be painful anymore."

"Aren't you standing too long? Come, let's go in first. Don't worry, it will be fine."

However, just as he arrived at the entrance of the bamboo house, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Although he did not make a sound, he stopped moving and his expression changed slightly as well. Murong Yu felt the pain and asked worriedly, "Is it because it's painful again? You have to say it out loud. Don't endure it. Do you want to call Senior Feng over?"

"It does hurt a bit, but it doesn't hurt too much. It's better all of a sudden." Yun Sheng rubbed his belly and found it strange.

The midwife, who had been following him, hurried forward and said, "It should be the beginning of the pain. Madam is probably going to have a baby soon."

Ah!" Yun Sheng and Murong Yu were dumbfounded. According to their calculations, there should be around twenty days left, but why did it sound like Old Man Feng said it was born? Although the two were prepared, they were both happy and surprised at the same time.

"Then hurry up, you guys hurry up and prepare." Murong Yu immediately bent over and carried Yun Shengyue back into the room. He nervously placed her on the bed and was so flustered that he was at a loss. "How is it? Does it hurt? How much pain? "Yue Er, Yue Er, our child is about to be born."

Although this day had come so suddenly, it was also the day they had been waiting for. She had already made preparations a long time ago, and upon seeing Murong Yu's burning heart, she hurriedly consoled him, "It's not too painful, so don't be too nervous. In a while, you go and pay attention to the situation outside. With mother Zhou and mother accompanying me, you won't be able to help much with having children."

"Okay, okay, okay. Don't be afraid. I'll stay outside with you. I'm just too happy. Our child is finally going to be born." Murong Yu tightly held onto Yun Shengyue's hand. His heart was filled with joy.

Someone should have reported it already. Old Man Feng rushed over to check Yunsheng's pulse. After confirming that it was indeed about to give birth, he gave her another bowl of some unknown medicine. Finally, Yunsheng's pain began to increase.

Whenever the pain came, she couldn't help but want to scream, but she held it back. Murong Yu had always been worried, so she was afraid that if she cried out too loudly, he wouldn't be able to take it anymore. The two midwives were experienced, giving her gentle massage while consoling and encouraging her.

However, the pain couldn't be alleviated. Not long later, her entire body was drenched in sweat, while outside the house, Murong Yu was carrying a double burden. The firework had not lessened, but it would be very troublesome if it continued. It seemed that he had no choice but to ask for old man Feng's help. If he was willing to go out and find someone to help him, he would feel more at ease. Those mute slaves didn't even know any martial arts, and probably wouldn't even be able to break out of the circle of fire.

However, Feng Zhiyuan had never been out of the bamboo forest, so he didn't know if he was willing to help …
