Chapter 631: Sooner or later it will explode
"Yu'er." Jun Lie looked at Xiao Jiuyue's peaceful sleeping face with heartache. He saw that she had lost weight. He thought that when he was unconscious, Xiao Jiuyue was pregnant and had to deal with the affairs of Jiashui City.
Came all the way from Hongdu...
Just thinking about this scene, Jun Lie's mood was extremely complicated and full of pity. He stared at her for a long time before leaning over and gently kissing her smooth forehead. He said, "Yuer, I will definitely protect you well from now on and will never let anyone wrong you."
After a long while, Jun Lie carefully got up and covered her with the quilt. When his eyes fell on her bulging belly, his eyes became gentler. He murmured, "Little Xingxing, let's protect mother together from now on, okay?"
…
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Jialing and General Qin met Jun Lie. Xiao Jialing asked, "Your Majesty, you've been unconscious for so long. Why don't you rest for a while?"
"Yes, Your Highness, take good care of yourself. There's no rush to talk about it tomorrow." General Qin also agreed.
"There's no time." Jun Lie looked at them and said, "Although the siege of Jiashui City has been lifted, the situation is not optimistic now that Prince Xijiang's assassins can break in openly!"
"Another incident has occurred in Shengjing. Father has been forced into the Tongzhou camp. A major battle is inevitable. We must quickly eliminate the Xijiang people and march north to rescue Father!"
Jun Lie had not been awake for long, and in a short time, he had already figured out what had happened in the past few days. Every single thing was like a complete change!
Originally, he had already made arrangements and was ready to take revenge on the Imperial Noble Consort. However, at this moment, Prince Duan rebelled, and Concubine Zhao led her men to occupy Shengjing. If he did not rescue them quickly, by the time Yongzhao arrived in Shengjing with a large army, it would be too late to save the situation!
That night, the lights in the study were on all night long, and the soldiers coming and going never had a moment's rest!
Everyone looked at Jun Lie with admiration, but they also wondered in their hearts, why didn't the prince say a word when he was fighting with Xijiang before?
The prince obviously has such a good idea?
When Xiao Jiuyue woke up, she saw Jun Lie looking at her with his eyes open. She opened her arms and hugged his arms, smiling and said, "Jun Lie, it's finally not a dream!"
"Are you hungry? I've had someone prepare your favorite big meat buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk. How about it? Do you want to get up and try some?"
Jun Lie helped her sit up, and seeing that she was struggling, he said, "Call me if you need anything from now on."
"Of course. My belly is big, but it's not convenient at all." Xiao Jiuyue felt that she became more pampered after he recovered.
"Then I have to thank Princess for giving me this opportunity?" Jun Lie stood up, took the coat that Xiao Jiuyue liked to wear, and helped her put it on.
Last night, the lights were dim, and he hadn't looked closely. Now he only saw her wearing a midriff-baring top. Her once flat belly was now bulging. Jun Lie squatted down, staring at her pregnant belly, and asked, "Thank you for your hard work!"
It's hard to do anything with such a big belly.
"Then you have to be nicer to me and Xiao Xingxing in the future, so that my hard work will not be in vain!" Xiao Jiuyue would not be so stupid as to say that it was not hard.
"Sure." Jun Lie stood up, put clothes on her, and said, "Shall I braid your hair?"
"You can tie your hair, but forget about drawing your eyebrows!" Xiao Jiuyue reminded Jun Lie while sitting in front of the dressing table and looking at him in the bronze mirror!
Jun Lie was clumsy at tying her hair at the beginning, but later on, he was able to do it properly. However, when it came to drawing her eyebrows, it was a disaster. If he drew her eyebrows, she felt that she would not be able to go out and see people today.
"You have to practice hard in the future." Jun Lie combed her hair carefully, fearing that he would hurt his hair if he was too rough.
Jun Lie fixed her hair and said, "Yuer, my elder brother will be going back to Mingzhou soon. You should go back with him."
"Didn't Big Brother say he was going back yesterday?"
Xiao Jiuyue asked doubtfully, then looked at him in the bronze mirror and shook her head, "When something happens in Shengjing, how can we stay out of it?"
When Xiao Jiuyue knew that something happened in Shengjing, she had already made preparations to go to Shengjing. If Jun Lie woke up, everyone would be happy and go to the capital together. If he did not wake up and remained in a coma, she would take him to Shengjing!
"Yu'er, you're pregnant now!" Jun Lie had just opened his mouth to persuade her when Xiao Jiuyue glanced at him and said, "I can go a little slower, but my parents and grandmother are all in Shengjing. How can I be at ease?"
"Well, don't worry. Big brother and I will go to Mingzhou first, and then to Shengjing. You guys go first!" Xiao Jiuyue stroked her belly, worried that she would be a drag. She said, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my body!!"
Xiao Jiuyue looked back and held his hand: "I will ensure that our child is born safely."
"Yuer!" Jun Lie opened his arms and held her in his arms. There was so much guilt in his eyes that he didn't know what to say.
"The reinforcements from Meicheng should be arriving soon. I've also made a bet with General Mu Cheng. I believe he will make a wise choice!"
"As for the Crown Prince of Xijiang, I think I need to think about it carefully. Although the Crown Prince of Xijiang is slightly less brutal than the Second Prince, he is still no less cruel!"
Xiao Jiuyue had met the Prince of Xijiang. The more they got along, the more Xiao Jiuyue felt that the Prince of Xijiang was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He looked gentler than the second prince, but in fact, he was just a smiling tiger.
"In addition to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, Xijiang also has a low-profile Sixth Prince. If General Mu Cheng truly fulfills his bet, he will support the Sixth Prince. As for the friendly agreement between the two countries you mentioned, I believe General Mu Cheng will agree to it!"
Jun Lie looked down at her and said seriously, "General Mu Cheng is a good general. He will consider the people."
"That's great!" Xiao Jiuyue was also very happy to hear this: "But, will the situation in Shengjing cause Xijiang Kingdom to have concerns again?"
"Nanyue prospered for a hundred years, but Xijiang wouldn't dare!" Jun Lie saw her curiosity and explained, "This time, the Crown Prince instigated the war, with the Second Prince taking the lead, and the Emperor watching from the sidelines. If they win, everyone will be happy, and Xijiang will gain another city!"
"If he loses, Emperor Xijiang can make apologies to Nanyue, depose the crown prince, and support other princes." Jun Lie's guess was soon confirmed!
Xiao Jiuyue was packing her things, preparing to follow her elder brother to Mingzhou and then transfer to Shengjing. Who would have thought that before she left, she saw the people of Xijiang coming to apologize. At the same time, the glorious prince was deposed and now he was just a sinner.
The reinforcements from Meicheng also arrived at the right time. The Emperor of Xijiang watched this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not listen to this rebellious son and tried to deal with Nanyue by force. Otherwise, before Nanyue was destroyed by Yongzhao, their Xijiang would have been flattened by Nanyue’s gunpowder first!
