Chapter 681: Birth

"How could I be childish?" Hu Xin'er pulled him and acted coquettishly, "Isn't it okay to praise you for being pretty?"

But she didn't expect that her husband, who usually obeyed her in everything, would not obey her today. She was so angry that she threw her hands and said, "Really? Do you think you are so rare just because you are handsome? When I get to the capital, I will ask the princess to call all her male favorites and have them perform their talents for me one by one."

There was silence in the carriage for a while, but Mu Qing remained unmoved.

Normally, if he were to be provoked like this, he would definitely come over to fight for his love out of jealousy.

Hu Xin'er was stunned and couldn't help but touch her belly gently, feeling aggrieved.

Even if her temperament had changed, it didn't have to change so quickly. Mu Qing looked like he had no interest in her at all.

"I won't pay any attention to him anymore." She thought secretly, "Who made him treat me like this?"

But just as she was sulking with her head down, Mu Qing suddenly came over and asked, "Why don't you continue?"

Hu Xin'er ignored him and said, "I don't want to talk about it anymore!"

Mu Qing looked at her for a while, hugged her and kissed her a few times, then burst into laughter.

This was the first time he laughed so heartily since his mother passed away.

The journey back to Beijing was unexpectedly smooth. Although there were several assassination attempts by the prince's men, the prince was probably afraid of the strength of the army, so he did not dare to act rashly.

As Zhao Yunxuan had said before, he did not appear in front of them except when necessary, such as when eating. However, his complexion seemed to be getting better day by day.

Although there was still a look of frailty between his eyebrows, and his frail body would not be easy to recover, at least he no longer had to hug the stove every day.

From him, several people also learned about the prince's current situation.

When he defected from the capital, Duke Xuanyuan was stationed in the capital. He had been a general in the army, and his connections in the army were unmatched.

Your Majesty trusted his men and directly handed the military power back to him, allowing the Duke to show his abilities.

Under his thundering methods, the prince was almost forced to have nowhere to hide.

"So, he sent people to frame the Lu family, most likely out of desperation?" Mu Qing suddenly said after listening.

Zhao Yunxuan nodded and said, "That's very possible."

It was getting close to evening and the army was setting up camp on the spot. Several people were chatting around the campfire.

Putting aside the identities of the three handsome men as rivals in love, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

It was Zhao Yunxuan who took the initiative to invite several people over. His voice, which was full of Buddhist nature, seemed to have some magical power that could allow Yin Li and Mu Qing to live in peace.

Sometimes, Hu Xiner would feel that he was very suitable for pyramid schemes. After all, this kind of infectiousness was not something that ordinary people could do.

She felt it was weird at first, but now she has gotten used to it and no longer takes the so-called true love seriously.

Destiny is chosen by oneself. The past life and the present life are two different people. Perhaps she and Zhao Yunxuan had a connection in the past life, but in this life they both chose to go against the will of heaven.

Something cold landed on the tip of her nose. She came to her senses and asked doubtfully, "Is it going to rain?"

"Maybe it won't rain." Zhao Yunxuan closed his eyes and counted on his fingers. "According to the date, it's time for snow."

As he finished speaking, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, from small to large.

Hu Xin'er's eyes lit up: "This is the first snow I've seen since I came to this world!"

Countless snowflakes fell from the boundless sky. Mu Qing held her in his arms and carefully covered her hair with his ink-black cloak.

Hu Xiner stretched out her hand to catch the snow, and everyone fell silent at the same time, enjoying this rare quiet and beautiful scenery.

This was the scene Lord Chu saw when he arrived.

Mu Qing smiled as she shielded Hu Xiner from the snow. All she could see was the sky full of snow, while all he could see was her.

Sitting on the tree next to him was a man with a silver crown and white hair. As night fell, his white hair was gradually turning black. He looked quite evil, but his eyes when he looked at Hu Xiner were very gentle.

Zhao Yunxuan was also sitting under the dead tree, but his presence was very low. He was in the world but his mind was out of it. There was a hint of Buddha nature between his brows, which made people feel like listening to Buddhist chants, and their hearts felt inexplicably calm.

There are so many trivial things in the world, it is nice to be able to quietly enjoy such a beautiful moment. He stopped and watched the scene quietly.

Until the snowflakes fell and lightly covered his hair.

"Young Master is weak, you'd better go back first." Zhao Yunxuan's servant ran over, destroying the quiet atmosphere.

Zhao Yunxuan came back to his senses and nodded, "Princess, your precious body is worth a fortune, and you must not be exposed to cold."

Hu Xin'er looked at the snowy scene with reluctance, and heard Lord Chu say, "I don't know how long the snow will last today. If it snows too heavily, it might affect our journey back to the capital."

Zhao Yunxuan thought for a moment and said, "I've calculated that although the snow is heavy, given the terrain here, it will melt within two days. We'll march through the snow today. There are people living not far ahead, and we can get supplies there."

"It turns out that you have been prepared for this." Lord Chu showed admiration. He originally thought that the man in front of him was a charlatan, but after getting along with him, he found that Zhao Yunxuan's ability was beyond his imagination.

Hu Xin'er still insisted on opening the carriage curtains to play in the snow. As the carriage moved forward, snowflakes sprinkled on her palms. However, even as she was smiling, she suddenly frowned and felt a slight discomfort in her abdomen.

"Xin'er, what's wrong?" Mu Qing was originally looking at her lovingly, but now seeing that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked.

Hu Xin'er frowned and didn't react for a moment. After Mu Qing asked anxiously several times, she said uncertainly: "I...I think I'm about to give birth?"

"What?" Mu Qing was also stunned.

"Why give birth at this time, not too early or too late?" Lord Chu was discussing something with Zhao Yunxuan, and at this moment he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Yunxuan immediately said, "Princess, please hold on a little longer. We'll be at the nearby village in less than a quarter of an hour. Oh, and don't we have a midwife and a doctor with us? Have them get ready!"

Giving birth is a long process for pregnant women. Hu Xiner used to be very optimistic and thought that she was in good health and that she might accidentally give birth to a baby while sleeping one day.

But when the pain really came, she realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were.

The convoy galloped all the way to a nearby village. Zhao Yunxuan revealed his identity and directly requisitioned the houses of the rich families in the village.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she was helped to the bed, thinking that having a bed would be much more convenient than giving birth in a carriage, but the real torture had just begun.
