The faint morning light breaks through the red silk gauze on the window, dripping into the room, and the birds chirping after drinking the dew in the early morning is very pleasant. Even the lucid dream that awakens the person on the bed is not disgusting.
Last night's dragon and phoenix wedding candles have been burned out, and the golden plum candlesticks are covered with wax red. There is still a remnant smell of happiness in the air, matching the red-stained arm of the person in the tent exposed outside the brocade quilt, it is even more charming.
When Chu Yu opened her eyes, she couldn't remember where she was for a moment. When all the feelings slowly returned to her body, she realized how uncomfortable the feeling was. The groggyness in his head made his stomach feel nauseous, and his whole body ached, especially where he couldn't speak.
"Qin Zheng..." Chu Yu stretched out his hand to touch, but there was no one beside him. He frowned, gathered up some strength, and forced himself up. This movement involved the lower body, and even the lower abdomen felt dull pain.
"Second Master? But you're awake?" Qiu Yue was waiting outside, and asked cautiously when she heard the movement.
Chu Yu slowed down for a while, temporarily suppressed the discomfort on his body, and said, "Where is Lord Hou?"
Qiuyue stood outside, and said through the screen: "Master Hou changed into court clothes early in the morning and went to court. He told us to wait outside. If the second master wakes up, someone will take care of him."
Chu Yu said: "I went to court? I just got married yesterday, shouldn't I take a rest and take a bath." When he said this, he probably forgot that he never took a rest and took a bath at any time.
Qiuyue replied: "It seems that the military master from the north gate sent a message in the morning, asking Lord Hou to go there early."
Chu Yu thought to himself that if the North Gate Army specially came here, it might be the meaning of the one above, but I don't know what happened and even the wedding leave was not given.
"Second Master, do you want someone to prepare water?" Qiuyue asked.
Chu Yu suppressed her doubts for the time being, and agreed to Qiuyue. Hearing that the maid outside started to work, he leaned against the head of the bed to rest. He put one hand on his lower abdomen and rubbed it, but he couldn't suppress the pain in his stomach for a long time. After thinking about it, I'm afraid it was the bed with Qin Zheng who got that thing into it yesterday, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"Second Master, the water is ready." Qiuyue said.
Chu Yu responded: "You all step back first."
"yes."
Even if he didn't look down, he could guess what he looked like, and where he could be seen by a few girls who hadn't left the cabinet. After Qiuyue and the others retreated from the screen, Chu Yu lifted the curtain and wanted to get up. He supported the edge of the bed first, exhaled several times, and then gathered his strength to stand up tremblingly. The dull pain all over his body even made his scalp numb. He gritted his teeth and stood up barely.
"Uh huh..."
Before Chu Yu could take a step, his face suddenly turned pale, his lower abdomen suddenly hurt, his body softened, and he sat back down.
"Second master?" Qiuyue could hear clearly a screen away, she couldn't help but peeped in panic, and with just one glance, she was so frightened that she dodged in and hugged the crumbling Chu Yu.
Chu Yu bent down and pressed her lower abdomen, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Seeing that Chu Yu was only wearing his inner coat, Qiuyue hurriedly pulled off the robe from the side and put it over his shoulders, and inadvertently saw bloodstains on the ground with her lowered eyes. After taking a closer look, I saw that Chu Yu's snow-white jacket was already flushed red, and blood was dripping down her pale ankles...
"Come here! Call the medical staff here!" Qiuyue was shocked, and seeing Chu Yu's side was so painful that she couldn't straighten her back.
With a serious illness, the family has recruited a number of medical workers, and it is convenient to use. However, a few medical workers came in after a while, and the leaders were Imperial Physician Shen who was resident in the Duke's Mansion and Doctor Liang, an old man in the mansion. The two knew Chu Yu's complexion was not good. After checking her pulse, she was even more shocked. When did Chu Yu become pregnant for more than a month
Because of taking medicine all the time, the pulse condition is often unstable. A few days ago, the pulse was not felt out, but now I have a slippery pulse. But now it was obvious that there was going to be a miscarriage, and the few people didn't dare to delay, so they smoked wormwood immediately, and wrote a prescription to get the medicine. Doctor Liang is especially good at acupuncture and moxibustion. He asked people to prepare needles and perform acupuncture first to prevent miscarriage.
Chu Yu's condition was very dangerous, whether it was acupuncture, moxa fumigation, or medicine, all of them were heavily prescribed. If this is not the case, this fetus is likely to be difficult to protect.
Qiuyue kept wiping the sweat off Chu Yu's forehead with a handkerchief, causing her heart to twitch.
Chu Yu clenched her teeth, her hands tightly gripped the mattress under her body, her eyes were blurred, a hook seemed to be born in her lower abdomen, pulling the flesh and blood of her internal organs and tearing it downward desperately. He knew what this meant, he was flustered and sad, he kept looking up and looking outside, wanting Qin Zheng to come back...
At this time, above the main hall.
Yan Chengqi sat in the high hall and said: "I am in the four corners of the Yan Kingdom, the Eastern Barbarians, the Western Rong and the Northern Di, have repeatedly violated our borders, disturbed my people's livelihood, like wolves. I want to send a large army to fight against each other, protect my borders, and secure my people! Now the court Several veteran dragon and tiger generals are guarding outside." He paused, looked at Qin Zheng and said, "General Yunhui is utterly loyal, brave and good at fighting, and he is familiar with the Xirong area, so he is worthy of great responsibility. If the country is in trouble, what should we do? Today Seal Qin Zheng as the Great General of the Western Expedition, and lead the army to march immediately."
The emperor's fate is like heaven, Qin Zheng was stunned on the spot.
After three breaths, Qin Zheng knelt down and said, "I am willing to be a pioneer and do the work of dogs and horses."
…
After the court, the Royal Study Room.
Yan Chengqi pushed the border war report to Qin Zheng, and sighed: "These days you are busy preparing for your marriage, and I understand that you and Chu Qing are not easy, and I have never talked about the border war with you in detail."
Qin Zheng looked at the battle reports one after another in his hand, his expression became more serious.
Yan Chengqi waited patiently for him to finish reading, and then said: "Now that you and Chu Qing are married, it can be regarded as an end to a worry, you should settle down."
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes, leaned over and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard, and I dare not complain at all."
Yan Chengqi stretched out his hand to help him up: "Yu Gong Chuqing is my Minister of the Household Department. I have seen all the hard work he has spent in this position for several years. Yu Qingqing is my wife and brother, and his illness is difficult to recover. And why don't you want to keep you in Beijing to take care of him. But Bailuan, only when Haiyan River is clean and sunny is the time to practice culture and martial arts. The country of the ancestors is in my hands, how can I not see it being peaceful all over the world."
Qin Zheng was moved by this, and kowtowed: "I will live up to your Majesty's high expectations, guard my Great Yan's borders, protect my Great Yan's people, give up my life and never change, the world knows me, I only hope that my family and country will have no worries."
…
The fragrance of the medicine is heavy, leaving a trail of paleness.
quiet.
After a long time, Chu Yu nodded slightly, and said very weakly: "I know this matter well."
Imperial Physician Shen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second Lord means..."
Chu Yu put his hand under the quilt slowly on his lower abdomen. Because of his negligence, he almost lost the child. Now, thanks to the pity of heaven, how can he let go of it after struggling to keep him.
Seeing Chu Yu's expression, Imperial Physician Shen naturally understood what he meant, and couldn't help frowning: "Second Master should have understood it just now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to keep this baby with your current body."
Chu Yu sighed: "If I don't stay, will I still have children in the future?"
Imperial Physician Shen paused, and said truthfully, "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Chu Yu put her fingertips on her lower abdomen and said with a wry smile: "My elder brother is the queen, and all the descendants are of the blood of the Tian family. There is no successor in the Duke's mansion. After all, Zhen'er is a girl. If I leave her alone in a hundred years, She can survive without the help of her brothers... this child must be kept no matter what."
Imperial physician Shen knew that Chu Yu had made up his mind, so he could only say: "Since the second master ordered me to do so, I will do my best. It's just that the second master is not as bad as before, and today's danger is just the beginning. In the days to come I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. The second master should rest in peace, don't work hard, and try to stay in bed as much as possible."
Chu Yu nodded, and said obediently: "From now on, everything will be under the orders of Imperial Physician Shen."
If Imperial Physician Shen inquired about the several imperial physicians who took care of Second Master Chu personally before, he would know that what he said was like saying nothing. If something happened to him, Second Master Chu was never a person who was willing to let others make up his mind.
After all, it was considered a happy event, Chu Yu specially asked the small kitchen to add two more dishes that Qin Zheng likes to eat, so that he would be happy when he came back.
It wasn't until evening that Qin Zheng returned home. At that time, Chu Yu couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
The smell of medicine was still lingering in the room, Qin Zheng waved away the serving maids, and sat down slowly along the bed by himself. Chu Yu didn't sleep well, her brows were slightly frowned, and her face was so pale that it made people feel distressed.
"Qingci..." Qin Zheng called softly, and slowly stroked the side of Chu Yu's face with his fingertips.
Chu Yu woke up suddenly and gathered herself together. When she saw that it was Qin Zheng who had returned, her eyes lit up involuntarily. He turned sideways, deliberately pushed Qin Zheng's hand away, and said calmly, "Why did you come back?"
Qin Zheng squeezed Chu Yu's fingertips, and forced a smile: "There are some things in court that are delayed, why hasn't Qingci got up yet, but he was tired last night? It's only my fault... When you are carefully watching your body, did you call the imperial physician?" Come to check your pulse? How is your appetite today? Have you eaten and taken your medicine on time?"
Chu Yu couldn't help laughing: "It's long-winded."
Qin Zheng's eyes were sour, and he leaned over and kissed Chu Yu's forehead: "Qingci, I have something to tell you."
Chu Yu smiled and said: "It just so happens that I also have something to tell you. Since you are my wife, I let you speak first."
Qin Zheng looked at the person in front of him, coveting every look. He was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Today, I will take orders from the court, lead the army, pacify the frontier, and set off on the march."
The candle wick exploded suddenly, making a crisp sound, but it seemed to be exploding in the heart.
The smile on the corners of Chu Yu's lips melted like candle tears.
"Come here." Chu Yu called out.
A servant girl came in from the outside and gave her a blessing: "Second master orders."
Chu Yu said lightly: "Pack up the Hou Ye's things, and you are not allowed to stay in my room from now on."
Qin Zheng was stunned and said at a loss: "Qingci...I..."
Chu Yu closed her eyes, turned her back, and ignored him.
It wasn't until Qin Zheng was thrown out with people and things that Chu Yu asked Qiuyue to come.
"Second master..." Qiuyue didn't quite understand why Qin Zheng fell out of favor in a day.
Chu Yu said: "Qiuyue, tell me to go down, suppress the matter of my pregnancy, and carefully seal the word."
Qiuyue frowned and said, "Second Master won't let Hou Ye know?"
Chu Yu shook her head: "It's not just Lord Hou."
"Qiuyue understands."
Yesterday there was a newcomer holding two red candles, but today this one is alone with a lamp. If you don't believe me, don't worry about it in the world.
If you don't care about your family and country, what can you say about your son and your wife? It's not that Chu Yu doesn't understand, but now Qin Zheng is not only his man, but also the real son, the father of the child in his womb, how can he be willing to do so.
How could Qin Zheng be willing to compare his heart to his heart? The battlefield is changing rapidly, if there is any foresight, it is a matter of life and death. If he knew that he had his own flesh and blood in his womb, would Qin Zheng still be able to move forward? It should be broken continuously, and instead of being disturbed, it is better to respect each other like ice.
…
The expedition was imminent, and Qin Zheng didn't have much time. He was often so busy during the day that his feet didn't touch the ground, and when he came back at night, Chu Yu had already fallen asleep. The door was still closed to him, so he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to go through the window in the middle of the night and sit beside Chu Yu's bed for half the night. Before dawn, I went to the school grounds again.
After six days of stalemate, Qin Zheng accepted the order to go out, and the army will leave Shangjing tomorrow. As dusk fell, Qin Zheng had just returned. Chu Yu's room was filled with strong medicinal smell every day, which couldn't go away.
Qin Zheng asked the imperial physician carefully, but Chu Yu's old illness had relapsed recently and he took more medication. The imperial physician had already received Chu Yu's advice, so he didn't dare to say more, and only changed a few medicines on the pretext of unstable weather.
Chu Yu often suffers from drowsiness after pregnancy, and fell asleep early after taking the medicine. When Qin Zheng quietly opened the window and went in, he saw Chu Yu sleeping soundly. He stayed overnight, from the willow tip on the moon to the approaching dawn.
When it was time to leave, Qin Zheng let out a long sigh and said, "Qingci, take care..."
A light kiss fell on her lips, and it took a long time before she reluctantly left.
Qin Zheng turned around, but he couldn't see the tears in the corners of Chu Yu's eyes, which soaked the embroidered pillow silently.

The sun and the moon are the witnesses, the heaven and the earth share a lesson, and the immortals, demons, gods and ghosts listen to it together!
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
With the sound of the horn, the army set off!
The silver armor folded into countless brilliance in the morning light. Qin Zheng was wearing a military uniform with a sword hanging from his waist. He was flanked by hundreds of thousands of troops, and in front of him was a magnanimous journey. He looked back suddenly, and the majestic imperial city was behind him.
Like the wind blowing thousands of miles of snow falling on his heart, and the flat bottom causing thunder, Qin Zheng's eyes widened suddenly.
On the city wall, Chu Yu's wedding dress is better than the fire, with picturesque eyebrows and hair swaying in the wind.
Even Li Zhiluan lost his companion, another separation.
In the wind came the singing of the army leaving. The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Wei Jia Hai Nei Xi returned to his hometown. Andy warrior guards all directions...
Chu Yu watched the army drift away until Qin Zheng could no longer be seen. He closed his eyes and said in his heart: Qin Zheng, wait for me.
