Although they only left for a day and a night, the entire palace was exploded because of their disappearance, and the imperial guards were dispatched again, not only covering half of the city, but also heading to the dangerous mountains.
It's just that the path they took was not the same as that of Qiao Wei and her group. To be precise, the entrance was the same. It's just that they didn't expect Qiao Wei and her group to return exactly the same way. In the direction of disappearance, he searched the mountains deeper in the past, and he was probably still looking for someone intensively at this moment.
Naturally, Ji Mingxiu was also alarmed. After the sixth level of Nine Yang Palms, there was a natural moat. Many people were stranded at the sixth level. It was not easy for Ji Mingxiu to break through to the seventh level. People, they have penetrated half of the way to Yeluo, and now they only need to retreat for a few days to break through that barrier and enter the ranks of the seventh-level masters.
But at this time, Yan Feijue and Shi Qi came back.
The reason why Yan Feijue left the mountain range was because the carriage they drove was gone, and he thought it was Qiao Wei and the others who came back in the carriage.
As a result, he went into the yard to take a look, but he didn't see Qiao Wei, and only then did he know something bad happened.
Yan Feijue's considerations are much simpler than Qiao Wei's. Although disturbing Ji Mingxiu has the risk of causing Ji Mingxiu to go crazy, if something happens to Qiao Wei, Ji Mingxiu will not only be at risk, he will definitely Be obsessed.
With a flash of thought, Yan Feijue rushed into the secret room without much hesitation.
After that, things became logical. Ji Mingxiu left the customs early, found Prince Mu, mobilized the imperial guards, and began to search for traces of Qiao Wei all over the mountains and plains.
It was because of the dispatch of the imperial guards that the camp in the mountains was evacuated at an unimaginable speed.
It is true that the queen wanted Qiao Wei's life very much, and Ji Mingxiu also wanted to destroy the queen's camp. As long as the queen continued to let the dead men search in the mountains, Qiao Wei's life would not be lost, and Ji Mingxiu only needed to bring the guards Go straight to Huanglong, and I don't believe that the Queen's camp can't be destroyed.
But neither of them did it.
If Ji Mingxiu directly leads the imperial guards to destroy the queen's camp, the queen will definitely break the relationship between Ji Mingxiu and Prince Mu in anger; if Prince Mu knows that he has been used by Ji Mingxiu, he will be so angry , I will definitely not help Ji Mingxiu find Qiao Wei.
There is a very delicate balance between the two.
Before departure, Ji Mingxiu sent a friendly reminder to the queen "intimately", telling the queen to evacuate as soon as possible.
The queen preserves the strength of the camp, and he saves the lives of Qiao Wei and his party. This is the balance between them.
When the four people and one beast returned to the palace, they were already in disarray. Qiao Wei and Fu Xueyan both changed into peasant women's coarse cotton padded clothes. Qiao Wei carried a child in a bed sheet in front of her. Her hairstyle was messed up, her face was dirty, and her shoes And the trouser legs are full of mud.
A strong rural atmosphere rushed over, and Ji Mingxiu seemed to have returned to the time when the two met for the first time. People kicked out of the pharmacy...
But that time, it didn't seem to be as embarrassing as before.
In fact, it's not just Qiao Wei. Fu Xueyan, who was pale and wrapped like a zongzi after giving birth, and the leader, who was covered in blood (from his own nosebleeds) even though he was wearing his own brocade clothes, seemed no better than Qiao Wei. go.
Seeing that Ji Mingxiu acted without authorization, he almost lost his uncle and sister-in-law, and the idea of asking for family law almost jumped out!
Then in the next second, Qiao Wei untied the "swaddling clothes" and put a thin and small thing into his arms. The sharpness of his whole body turned into soft fingers in an instant.
The newborn child is really not very good-looking, with wrinkled skin, swollen eyes, and messy hair, but even so, this little thing is still so cute that it is a bit foul.
She has a small face, fair skin, and delicate features. A pair of hands that are so painfully small are pulled into small fists and held above her head quietly.
It's just that she is really too small, so small that Ji Mingxiu is afraid that she will fall through his fingers when he hugs her like this.
Ji Mingxiu had seen newborn babies before, such as Brother Liu, and Ji Shuang's fifth young master. They were all much older than this when they were born, and she seemed... less than half their size.
"It's only over seven months." Qiao Wei said softly, stroking the little guy's face.
Ji Mingxiu glanced at Fu Xueyan with a complicated expression: "Thank you."
Fu Xueyan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
No one mentioned the past, and they will not mention it again in the future. What has passed, has passed with the arrival of this child. Fu Xueyan is no longer the queen's secret agent, she is a mother, and she has a new beginning.
Ji Mingxiu didn't embarrass Fu Xueyan, which made Fu Xueyan secretly relieved.
Only when you truly become a mother can you understand the meaning of a child to your parents. It is something that goes deep into the bone marrow and engraves into the soul, and is more important than the inheritance of blood.
In this world, it doesn't matter that every sentence of sorry can be exchanged for one.
Forgiveness is the greatest and saddest kindness, and she was lucky to get the little kindness left in this man's heart.
"Oh, what are you all doing blankly? Aren't you tired after running for a day and a night?" The leader was still a little worried that Ji Mingxiu would hold a grudge, and blamed Fu Xueyan for the disappearance of Jing Yun and Wang Shu, and hurriedly took Fu Xueyan's hand , said solemnly, "You have just given birth to the Ji family, and you have continued the incense for the Ji family. You have worked hard, don't, don't stick around here, and go back to your room to rest!"
After all, as if he was afraid that Ji Mingxiu would stop them, he put oil on the soles of his feet and pulled Fu Xueyan out of the upper room.
Qiao Wei couldn't laugh or cry, she ran so fast, she didn't even want her daughter
As soon as the thought flashed across his mind, the leader turned back against the risk of being struck by lightning. Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to take the child back, he was glared by Ji Mingxiu with a cold gaze, and went out aggrieved.
Qiao Wei wanted to call the servant girl to serve Fu Xueyan, but suddenly remembered that Fu Xueyan grew up in the palace, and she was the master of the palace, why should she order these things by herself
Everyone has left and the house is silent.
Qiao Wei didn't see her little bun, so she couldn't help asking, "Where are Jing Yun and Wang Shu?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "I couldn't find you, and I couldn't make it through. Hai Shisan took them and Zhu'er to the street, saying that he was looking for you. I just went out, and I won't be able to return for a while. You should sleep for a while. "
Qiao Wei was really sleepy before, but after the sleepiness passed, she couldn't fall asleep now.
She took a hot bath and changed into dry and comfortable pajamas.
The earth dragon was burning in the room, and it was very warm, and I was able to live with a little thin jacket over my pajamas.
After tidying up, she wrapped her wet long hair in a cotton cloth and stepped into the back room.
The child was just born, before she had time to take a bath, Qiao Wei asked someone to bring hot water and put her in gently.
She was so small that she couldn't even hold his thumb with both hands. Ji Mingxiu watched in horror as Qiao Wei pushed her back and forth.
Qiao Wei's strength is Ji Mingxiu, who has experienced it before. Is it really okay for such a small child to fall into her hands
The prime minister's heart beat faster.
Facts have proved that Dr. Qiao's nursing is still passable.
After taking a bath, the little guy seemed to have peeled off the lychee shell, revealing smooth and tender skin, and instantly upgraded to a little beauty.
Qiao Wei kissed the little beauty's belly and put on Zhu'er's clothes for the little beauty.
There is no way, she is too young, the maid who rushed to the tailor shop hasn't come back yet, and all the little clothes of the family in the house don't fit well, only Zhu'er can barely put them on, it's too big.
Qiao Wei hugged the well-washed little beauty and sat on the bed.
"Can she...can support her?"
Ji Mingxiu hesitated for a long time, and finally expressed the worry in his heart.
This child was born so prematurely, not only was she small, but her breathing was weak, and even when she was being pushed back and forth in the bath, she didn't see any movement. It wasn't that she liked it so much, but that she didn't have the strength to cry.
Qiao Wei sighed secretly: "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
Qiao Wei covered her little ears, and said in a low voice: "Fu Xueyan was born prematurely after being injured by the queen. Her physical signs are not good. If she were with us, she would have to enter the incubator. There is no incubator here. I don't know what will happen."
"Why did you cover her ears?" Ji Mingxiu asked puzzled.
Qiao Wei said very seriously: "What if she hears it? Has she lost the will to survive?"
Ji Mingxiu poked Meng's point all of a sudden, felt itchy, rubbed Qiao Wei's head, didn't say anything like "she's too young to understand", but said: "What is the incubator you're talking about?" Things? And your place... where is it?"
Qiao Wei cleared her throat, and said without changing her face: "It's Helanbao, I also listened to me... Grandpa said, who knows if it's true."
Ji Mingxiu took a deep look at her, and didn't ask further questions: "What should I do with the incubator?"
"can not do this."
"Why?"
"I won't." It's true, such a high-tech thing, how could she make it in this kind of ancient times that didn't even have a generator.
Ji Mingxiu looked at the infant child worriedly. She was really afraid of the cold, she wore a lot of clothes and wraps up a lot, and her little hands were still icy cold.
At this time, Xiao Bai, who had shaken off his fur after taking a bath, ran over.
Xiaobai jumped onto the bed.
Qiao Wei stuffed it into her swaddling clothes, and smiled at Ji Mingxiu: "It's quite warm this way."
Ji Mingxiu nodded, thinking of something, and suddenly asked: "Are Jing Yun and Wang Shu also born this young?"
Qiao Wei froze for a moment, she didn't expect him to be together with her, she didn't inherit the original owner's memory, she didn't know what the two looked like when they were born, but—
"They are dragon and phoenix twins. It is difficult to be born at full term. They should be... not too old."
Ji Mingxiu didn't speak any more, but held her hand tightly.
Qiao Wei suddenly thought of that weird village, and that fleeting old castle, whether it was a fantasy or real: "By the way, I have something to tell you."
Ji Mingxiu stroked her hand, looked at her haggard face, and said softly, "Go to sleep first, and we'll talk about anything when you wake up."
His voice was mesmerizing, coaxing gently, Qiao Wei soon became sleepy, and fell asleep after a while.
On the other side, the leader and Fu Xueyan also washed up, changed their clothes, and prepared to rest.
Fu Xueyan wants to go back to her own yard, how can the leader let her go? Tucking her whole body into the quilt, the corners of the quilt were tucked tightly, while he himself hugged a mattress and made a small floor bunk on the hard floor.
In fact, Fang Cuiyuan still has a spare room, but the leader doesn't want to go, he is willing to stay here, even if he sleeps on the ground.
Both of them turned their backs to each other's direction.
Fu Xueyan was very sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep. Looking at the plain wall, she said softly: "Have you... slept?"
"Sleeping."
The leader quickly replied.
Fu Xueyan slightly hooked the corners of her lips, her eyes flickered and said: "Is it cold on the ground?"
certainly…
not cold.
The bloody leader, just thinking about what happened during the day, makes his whole body feel dry and hot.
How can it be so round, so beautiful, so fragrant, so sweet...
sweet.
Master Hierarch savored that shameful smell, and instantly turned into a small volcano.
"Why don't you talk? Is it cold or not?"
The implication of these words is already very obvious.
However, the stubborn leader didn't understand. He only thought that Fu Xueyan was really concerned about whether he was cold or not, and said very honestly: "Not cold! I am in good health!"
Only men with kidney deficiency are afraid of the cold, but he is the strongest among men, and he absolutely does not have this problem!
Fu Xueyan felt her breath stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
After taking a few deep breaths, she pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why do I feel a little cold?"
The leader threw off the quilt.
Fu Xueyan's heart skipped a beat, a trace of nervousness flashed across her eyes, and if she looked closely, there was actually a hint of imperceptible expectation hidden in her eyes.
In the next second, a heavy quilt fell on her body.
"Cover you, I'm not cold!"
Fu Xueyan: "..."
