The carriage traveled very slowly all the way, trying to run as smoothly as possible so as not to bump the people inside. In the car, Jun Lixuan hugged Ling Qiyang, afraid that he would bump into something. Although Jun Lixuan's concern was a bit exaggerated, Ling Qiyang was very useful, and he himself was very careful, this child was really a surprise to him.
In front of the house, the carriage stopped. Jun Lixuan got out of the car first, then turned around and carried Ling Qiyang down, directly into the yard, carried him to the bedroom, without letting Ling Qiyang's feet touch the ground at all.
Gently put him on the bed, helped him take off his shoes, socks and coat, Jun Lixuan opened the quilt in the bed and covered Ling Qiyang, and said seriously: "From now on, you are not allowed to get out of bed. What do you want to eat?" Just tell me, and I'll do it for you."
Ling Qiyang looked at Jun Lixuan who was nervous, and said with a smile: "How could it be so exaggerated? I'm fine."
"No." Jun Lixuan tucked the quilt for him, "This is the first child, so you should be extra careful."
Ling Qiyang knew that he cared about him, so he didn't object anymore, he just smiled and said: "My anti-abortion prescription hasn't been prescribed yet, you have to let me write it."
Jun Lixuan walked to the table, picked up the brush and said, "You tell me, I'll write for you."
Ling Qiyang nodded with a smile, and talked about the name and dosage of the medicine. After Jun Lixuan memorized everything, she showed it to him. When he found that there was nothing wrong, Ling Qiyang said: "Let someone get the medicine."
"Yeah. Go to sleep for a while. I didn't sleep well last night. I'll call you when the medicine is ready." Jun Lixuan said.
"Okay." This time he was also a little sleepy, so he asked Jun Lixuan to help him lie down. Looking at the cautious Jun Lixuan, Ling Qiyang felt warm in his heart, and suddenly felt that maybe when both of them were old, Jun Lixuan would support him like now, making him feel stable and comfortable.
"You go to bed first, I'll come in to accompany you later." After touching his hand, he felt that it was not cold, so he stuffed it under the quilt.
Ling Qiyang nodded and closed her eyes obediently. He was really tired, and the worries of the past two days were finally resolved because of the arrival of the child. The relaxed Ling Qiyang soon fell asleep, with a faint smile on his mouth.
Seeing that he fell asleep soon, Jun Lixuan quietly exited the bedroom. Sweeping his eyes towards the roof, a shadow guard jumped in front of him and knelt down to obey his orders.
"Go to Second Brother's clinic and get the medicine according to this prescription." Jun Lixuan said. With the shadow guard who has been with him for many years, there are some things that he doesn't need to remind.
"Yes." The shadow guard took Fang Zi and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Jun Lixuan was not in a hurry to go back to the house, but sat on the recliner under the vines, thought about all the things Ling Qiyang liked to eat that he could think of, and then made a list for people to buy back, and waited for Ling Qiyang to wake up It was delicious.
The shadow guards who went to grab the medicine came back quickly, and Jun Lixuan ordered them to guard the yard, then took the medicine into the kitchen and decocted it himself. Decoction is much easier for him than cooking, just watch the fire and don't burn it.
After pouring the decocted medicine into the bowl, Jun Lixuan looked at his finished product with satisfaction, put another plate of candied fruit, and then carried it into the bedroom.
Ling Qiyang slept soundly, and Jun Lixuan didn't have the heart to disturb him at first, but thinking that it would be good for the child to drink the medicine, she patted Ling Qiyang's hand lightly, and said in a low voice: "Qiyang, get up and drink the medicine before going back to bed. sleep."
"Hmm..." Ling Qiyang responded, opened his eyes in a daze, and muttered, "I want to eat shrimp dumplings."
Jun Lixuan helped him up with a smile, leaned in front of her, and said, "Eat now?"
"Wake up and eat later..." Ling Qiyang closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep again.
"Okay, I'll get someone to buy it later. Come on, drink the medicine first." Jun Lixuan took the medicine bowl and brought it to Ling Qiyang's mouth.
Ling Qiyang drank the medicine obediently, and before he could finish the candied fruit, he leaned on Jun Lixuan and fell asleep again.
Jun Lixuan shook his head helplessly, let him lie back on the bed again, took off his coat, and lay down with him.
Compared to Ling Qiyang, Jun Lixuan can be said to have no sleepiness. Thinking about my previous life, I was still alone until my death. And in this life, he not only had Ling Qiyang, but also an unborn child. Such a big contrast and surprise made him cherish the present even more, and he couldn't help thinking about the future of the two of them, thinking about their children, everything is so beautiful...
In the evening, Jun Chengjing came to the house with his servants and a bunch of food. In the evening, Jun Lixuan asked someone to bring him a letter, saying that he wanted shrimp dumplings. Jun Chengjing hurriedly asked someone to make it, and delivered it in person.
Jun Lixuan put on her clothes and came out, "Second Brother."
"I don't know what my younger brother likes to eat. Apart from shrimp and meat dumplings, I asked the servants in the house to inquire about the preferences of pregnant women, and asked them to make some food accordingly." Jun Chengjing asked the servant Put the things on the table, "These people are at your disposal first, they are all reliable people, you can use them with confidence."
"Second brother will definitely choose someone." Jun Lixuan looked at the basket of food and said with a smile, "Second brother has a heart."
Jun Lixuan intended to make some food for Ling Qiyang himself, but dumplings were too difficult for him, so he had to ask his second brother to bring ready-made ones. In case I make a mistake and delay Ling Qiyang's meal.
"Everything should be done. Is my brother okay?" Jun Chengjing asked with concern.
"Well, it's nothing. He's still asleep, and I didn't wake him up." Jun Lixuan glanced at the door and said.
"Well, pregnant people should rest more." Jun Chengjing nodded.
"Second brother, let's sit in the main hall." Jun Lixuan said, Jun Chengjing came to deliver food, and he couldn't let people stand outside all the time.
"Okay." Jun Chengjing responded, and went to the main hall with Jun Lixuan.
Let the servants who are serving leave first, and there are only two of them left in the main hall. Jun Chengjing said: "Wait until Di Qing's fetus is safe before returning to Beijing."
Jun Lixuan shook his head, "I'm afraid it can't be done. This time I came here quietly, and I have to rush back to join the army and return to Beijing together. If my father knows that Qi Yang and I came secretly, I'm afraid he will be paranoid."
"That's right." Jun Chengjing could also understand Jun Lixuan's concerns. If the fetus was stable, it would take three months, and the army would have arrived in the capital by then.
"Qiyang's current situation may not be suitable for walking too fast. I think I will take him away in a few days. There is no need to be so anxious on the road. He is also a doctor himself, so he will prepare some medicine in advance so that he can take it on the road." Jun Lixuan said his plan.
Jun Chengjing thought for a while and said, "Alright, I'll pack some medicinal materials for you when the time comes, just in case."
"Okay, thank you, Second Brother." Jun Lixuan nodded.
"Okay, you go to accompany brother Qing. I'll go back and prepare now." Jun Chengjing got up, thinking about preparing earlier, and making up for any omissions in time, so as not to be caught off guard.
"Well, then I won't send it off." Jun Lixuan was also thinking about Ling Qiyang in his heart, if Jun Chengjing hadn't come over, he really didn't want to leave for half a step.
"Well, go and do your work." After finishing speaking, Jun Chengjing left with his valet.
Knowing that she is pregnant, not gastrointestinal discomfort, Ling Qiyang can also prescribe the right medicine, and her spirit is much better. However, the first month of pregnancy is the time of nausea, so sometimes even if Ling Qiyang ate something, he vomited again after a while. The taste is also a bit strange, I don't eat the things I used to like now, but I swear by the things I ate less before.
Jun Lixuan hurriedly found him what he wanted to eat, without being bored at all. Just watching him eat and vomit again, it's hard not to feel distressed.
Looking at Jun Lixuan who handed him water, Ling Qiyang smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all normal."
"How can you do this? Pregnancy is supposed to take care of a child, but you've lost weight by talking like this." Jun Lixuan touched his face, which was thinner than the previous few days. Although he was in good spirits, He couldn't see that Ling Qiyang couldn't have a good meal.
The smile on the corner of Ling Qiyang's mouth deepened, he knew that Jun Lixuan was worried about him, "Actually, I want to eat because the child needs it, even if I vomit it in the end, it will be digested to some extent, that's enough."
Jun Lixuan sighed slightly, and touched Ling Qiyang's belly, "This little thing is so small that it makes you angry, can you pay it back in the future?"
"Didn't the master say that the child is a blessed person? We don't have to worry about him. In fact, when I look at myself, I think how difficult it was for my father to conceive me. Many people take care of her, but the symptoms of pregnancy will not be alleviated just because someone takes care of her, so the empress is also working very hard, so you must be filial to her." Ling Qiyang laughed. For the sake of his children, he is willing to suffer this hardship.
"You're right." Jun Lixuan helped Ling Qiyang to sit back on the chair. Recently, his thoughts were all on Ling Qiyang, and he didn't think much about it at all.
"When are we going back?" Ling Qiyang looked up at him, "I miss my dad a little bit."
"Second brother is ready and ready to go at any time. The key is up to you."
"I'm fine. Although the sickness is a bit serious, the fetus is still very stable, and I can leave at any time." Ling Qiyang checked his pulse, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well, if there is no problem, we will leave the day after tomorrow." Jun Lixuan said.
"Okay." Ling Qiyang smiled and nodded.
Two days later, the two bid farewell to Jun Chengjing and rushed to the capital. The walk along the way was not fast, and Ling Qiyang didn't feel any discomfort, and even said with a smile that this should be a child who can endure hardships.
When the two catch up with the army, the army will reach the capital in half a day. Before the two of them came back, Ling Hongzhi was still a little worried, fearing that they would not come back in time, and would reveal their secrets instead. When the two quietly returned to the tent and sent someone to call him over, Ling Hongzhi felt relieved. The two of them didn't mention the child to him, they just washed up and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the army set off for the capital.
Jun Lixuan returns in triumph, and Emperor Yanxi sends Jun Liyuan to meet him.
From afar, Jun Liyuan saw Jun Lixuan coming on horseback. After not seeing him for several months, he also missed his younger brother very much, so he immediately took a few steps forward.
Seeing Jun Lixuan, Jun Lixuan immediately dismounted and walked over, and said with a smile, "Brother."
Jun Liyuan looked at Jun Lixuan, seeing that he was in good spirits and not injured, so he patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "You have worked hard this time. Just come back."
"Brother Lao is worried." Jun Lixuan clasped his fists and said.
"I'm worried that you shouldn't." Jun Liyuan smiled and looked behind him, a carriage was very conspicuous in the army.
When the carriage stopped in front of the two of them, Ling Qiyang got out of the carriage and saluted Jun Liyuan: "Third brother is well."
"Qiyang isn't used to being in the army? Why has he lost a lot of weight?" Jun Liyuan looked at Ling Qiyang, thinking that his younger brother shouldn't raise him to make him thinner.
"I'm fine, third brother, don't worry," Ling Qiyang said with a smile.
Jun Lixuan took a step forward, and whispered in Jun Liyuan's ear: "Qiyang is pregnant. The sickness is a bit severe, so she lost a lot of weight."
"Really?!" Jun Liyuan's eyes widened, showing a joyful smile, "This is really great!"
"Brother, don't say anything, wait until you tell Father and Queen." Jun Lixuan said.
"Well, I understand. You have to take good care of my younger brother." He understood Jun Lixuan's intentions, and he would do the same. After all, there are too many eyes staring at them, and this person in Ling Qiyang's stomach is also the eldest grandson, so he must be extra careful. Just in case.
"Father told you to go back and rest first, and go to see him tomorrow morning." Jun Liyuan laughed. I didn't expect my younger brother to bring them such a big surprise when he came back from the expedition this time. If the emperor knew it, he would be so happy from ear to ear.
"Okay. Please tell my brother about Qiyang when I report back to my father later." Xuan said.
"Naturally." Jun Liyuan nodded with a smile, "Congratulations to you, and congratulations to my younger brother."
"Thank you third brother." The two agreed with a smile.
Afterwards, Jun Lixuan read out the emperor's imperial decree, praised all the soldiers, and explained that they would be rewarded separately on the day.
All the soldiers thanked each other, and the deputy generals of each team arranged to go home to rest or return to the camp to garrison.
Saying goodbye to Jun Liyuan who returned to the palace, Jun Lixuan was going to take Ling Qiyang to Uncle Wangyang's mansion. On the one hand, Ling Qiyang really wanted to see Daddy Ling, so it would be more reassuring to let him meet him. On the other hand, I also want to tell Ling's father that Ling Qiyang is pregnant.
When the two went to Uncle Wangyang's mansion, no one had informed them in advance, so when the two arrived at the gate, the housekeeper rushed in to invite Uncle Wangyang and the eldest lady.
"I pay homage to Prince Lin and Concubine Lin. I don't know if the prince and concubine are here, but I am far away from welcoming them, and I hope to make amends." Uncle Wangyang said with his head down.
"Get up. This king is just here to see Dad, it's okay." Jun Lixuan said coldly.
Uncle Wangyang got up, and said with some hesitation: "The prince and concubine should go to see the emperor first when they return from victory. It is really against the rules to come to the mansion first." Uncle Wangyang blocked the door, not intending to invite the two of them in.
Jun Lixuan frowned and said, "I know the rules better than you. Uncle Wangyang is trying to stop me from being filial?"
"Don't dare, dare not..." Uncle Wangyang said dare not, but he didn't move.
The eldest lady took a step forward with an uneasy expression, and said: "Your Majesty had a cold a few days ago, it is really inappropriate to meet the prince and concubine, lest you get sick."
"Daddy is sick?" Ling Qiyang's heart ached, and his voice couldn't help but grow louder.
"Yes, but it's just a cold, it's nothing serious. After a few days when I recover from illness, I will personally invite the prince and concubine to sit down." Uncle Wangyang said with a smile. Although it was a smile, there seemed to be something else mixed in the smile.
"Bastard!" Jun Lixuan sternly said, "It's easy to be fooled by being the king, isn't it? It's summer now, how can it be so easy to get wind and cold?!" Although there are some wind and cold in summer, compared with winter, it is naturally much less. What's more, the weather is so hot recently, how could it be possible to catch a cold
"I dare not!" Uncle Wangyang knelt down and said.
"If Daddy really has a cold, then Qi Yang should go and have a look. Qi Yang is a doctor, so he will prescribe some medicine suitable for Daddy's constitution. Maybe Daddy will recover sooner." Jun Lixuan took a step forward, and said To enter the door.
The eldest lady stopped in front of him and said: "My lord, forgive me. It's not right for my lord to force my way in. After all, there are female relatives at home, and the side lord lives in the backyard. It's really not suitable for my lord to enter privately."
"Heh..." Jun Lixuan sneered, "If Daddy is fine, I will definitely not trespass. Now that Daddy is sick, it is the son of man's duty to visit me. If you stop me like this, then I will You have to wonder if something happened to your father, and you are guilty of treachery, so you don't let the king and the concubine meet."
After finishing speaking, Jun Lixuan protected Ling Qiyang and walked in. As soon as the eldest lady winked, the servants on the side came to stop her. Mingli immediately rushed forward with his guards, and threw the servant aside to protect his prince and concubine.
The door was suddenly in chaos.
When the two of them entered Father Ling's yard, there was no one in the yard. Jun Lixuan frowned, logically speaking even if Ling's father was ill, Luo Su should come out.
Ling Qiyang also found that something was wrong, broke away from Jun Lixuan's hand, ran two quick steps, and pushed open the door.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. Aunt Zhou, who was sitting by the bed, raised her eyes to see Ling Qiyang and Jun Lixuan who came in with her, she immediately knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and cried: "Qiyang, help me quickly!" Save your father!"
Ling Qiyang ran over quickly, and knelt down beside the bed - Father Ling on the bed was unconscious, with bruises and purple spots on his face, obviously he had been beaten.
"Daddy!" Ling Qiyang felt a sharp pain in his heart, tears instantly filled his eyes.
Seeing this, Jun Lixuan was immediately furious, and said coldly: "You must give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I will never give up with you!"
Uncle Wangyang and Da Furen stood in the courtyard with pale faces, Jun Lixuan's guards surrounded them, waiting for the lord's release...
