Chapter 654 Reunion of Husband and Wife! Ah Shi learns that Luo'er is pregnant!
"What exactly did the princess do? Tell me!"
Zhuiyu's voice was barely audible: "The princess used witchcraft... to intimidate the entire Western Regions army."
"They wouldn't dare to easily invade the Central Plains again..."
"At least we've temporarily held off this large army..."
Duan Rongshi grabbed the reins, forcing the horse's front hooves to rise high.
A horse neighed.
The horse landed, paced around twice in a hurry, and then finally quieted down, groaning softly.
Duan Rongshi stared at Zhuiyu with a sinister look on his face.
"Tell me everything that happened!"
When Duan Rongshi's light cavalry arrived at Li Qingluo's lodging, Li Qingluo was waiting for news of him in the carriage.
The assassin who went to investigate has not yet returned.
The remaining members of the Sha family and their fellow disciples immediately stood up and surrounded Li Qingluo's carriage when they saw someone approaching.
Then, they drew their weapons and prepared to confront the attackers.
Until Zhuiyu rushed out and shouted, "Stop! It's us!"
The characters for "kill" that followed also began to emerge.
Everyone was overjoyed.
Even Xuan Cang and the others only then realized that the man exuding murderous aura who was leading the charge was none other than Duan Rongshi!
When Duan Rongshi reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the carriages where the crowd had dispersed, he seemed to stop breathing.
"Luo'er".
He called out in a low voice.
"I am coming."
A slender hand swiftly lifted the carriage curtain.
Immediately afterwards, a small, thin, pale, and weak face appeared.
Li Qingluo was already overjoyed just from hearing Duan Rongshi's voice.
"Ashi!"
Seeing her like this, Duan Rongshi simply glanced coldly at the others first.
"All of you, get out."
Before leaving, Que'er and Granny Zheng both looked at their master with great worry.
After receiving a look from Li Qingluo, the two reluctantly retreated.
The others also cast worried glances, while Duan Rongshi noticed that Nanping's expression was not quite right when she was taken away.
After everyone had left, Duan Rongshi looked down at Li Qingluo and asked, suppressing his anger, "How did you agree to this?"
"So this is how you got yourself into this state?"
"Luo'er, how do you plan to explain this to me?"
Li Qingluo looked at him innocently.
"Then what am I supposed to do, Ah Shi?"
“I traveled a long way back, and you start by interrogating me.”
"If you really have to blame someone, then blame it!"
As she spoke, she climbed out of the carriage, slowly stood up while holding onto the carriage, and untied the fur on her body, pointing to her already protruding belly under her robe.
She blinked and stopped talking.
Duan Rongshi's eyes widened instantly, like copper bells, and he stared at the scene before him in utter shock.
Then, he couldn't utter another word.
And then it tumbled off its horse in a disheveled state.
Then, with chaotic steps, he ran wildly to Li Qingluo's side.
"Get down quickly!"
He reached out and carefully embraced her, holding her horizontally in his arms. Not knowing where to put her, he simply held her tightly in his embrace.
His posture was stiff.
I dared not use too much force, yet I dared not use too little either.
This was the first time Li Qingluo had ever seen him so helpless and somewhat panicked.
Is it true?
"You're pregnant, pregnant with our child?"
"Luo'er, why didn't you tell me?"
"How dare you keep such an important matter a secret!"
Are you trying to drive me crazy?
His face showed regret, heartache, and endless tenderness for her.
In an instant, the corners of her eyes turned red.
Li Qingluo found it unbelievable.
So, was he happy or unhappy?
"I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
“Ah Shi, not only am I doing well, but our child is doing well too.”
"Would you like to touch it?"
As she spoke, she asked him to put her back in front of the carriage.
After she sat down, she took Duan Rongshi's hand and gently placed it on her stomach.
Suddenly, my stomach actually moved.
Duan Rongshi looked astonished.
He didn't move his hand away, but instead gently moved it down a little further, following the undulations in his stomach.
Seeing this, Li Qingluo found it funny, but she was also a little angry.
She deliberately pushed his large hand away and quickly pulled her fur coat back up: "Weren't you just being fierce?"
"We finally reunited, and the first thing you did was to interrogate me. You even gave me a cold and indifferent look."
"With our child in my arms, how easy has this journey been?"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Duan Rongshi's eyes: "Then why did you break your promise to me and resort to witchcraft?"
"And you're pregnant and you dare to use such a risky method? Are you courting death?"
Li Qingluo: "I...I just wanted to help you..."
“We wrote to Pofeng, but he hasn’t responded, so I guess something tricky has happened here that’s keeping Pofeng busy.”
"If I had known that it was actually you here, and that a battle between the two armies was about to break out, I would still have done the same thing."
“Ah Shi, I really know what I'm doing.”
"I have long since thoroughly mastered the mental techniques that my master from the Wuyue Sect taught me, and I will no longer go on business trips without a reason."
Duan Rongshi patted her head.
"Luo'er has grown a lot."
"Even so, Luo'er, can you promise me that you will not use witchcraft lightly unless absolutely necessary in the future?"
"This mental technique, if used too much, will damage your foundation and heart meridians."
"I don't want Luo'er to risk her life to bring me back a worry-free future."
“Even if reinforcements from the Western Regions arrive, I have my own ways to force them back, or even drive them completely back to the Western Regions, so that they will never dare to invade again.”
"In this world, nothing is more important to me than you."
"But I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have yelled at you or been cold and indifferent to you."
I apologize for this.
“You are pregnant and have already endured a long and arduous journey. It is wrong of me to come to see you in this way.”
"Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
Despite his high and mighty position, he was always able to swallow his pride in front of her.
"Luo'er, do you know how much I miss you?"
"I think about you day and night, but you, on the contrary, are doing one dangerous and important thing after another behind my back."
"From now on, don't even think about leaving me behind and running off on your own again!"
"Stop thinking about it!"
Duan Rongshi was furious, but he didn't dare to touch her.
So he just talked, and his tone became softer and softer, feeling sorry for her traveling all this way while she was pregnant.
In the end, he could only hold her tightly in his arms, and after a long while, he suddenly said, "Luo'er, you've gone bad."
Li Qing punched him in frustration: "You're still covered in the stench of blood!"
"It stinks! Let go of me!"
Duan Rongshi: "I won't let it go."
"If we're going to stink, let's stink together."
"Anyway, you are my queen."
"I am your husband."
"Don't even think about getting rid of me again!"
Li Qingluo hugged his neck tightly, her heart melting completely: "Okay."
"We will never be apart again."
The two looked at each other's foreheads and smiled sweetly at each other.
"By the way, Luo'er, both Grandmother and Doctor Luo are in Mantuo City."
"Today, my grandmother is still directing the battle from the city gate."
Li Qingluo looked shocked upon hearing this: "What did you say!?"
If Duan Rongshi were to discover that Li Qingluo was pregnant, she wouldn't be afraid at all.
Because she knew in her heart that once she had Duan Rongshi under her thumb, he wouldn't do anything to her.
But if her grandmother found out she was pregnant and running around the Western Regions...
Li Qingluo shivered slightly, her heart trembling with fear.
It's over, it's over!
By the time Li Qingluo returned to the city with Duan Rongshi, the news that Princess Lanhai had also returned had spread throughout Mantuo City.
Madam Pei immediately knew that it was her Luo'er who had returned!
"Luo'er, it's Luo'er!"
"Luo Fan, did you hear that? We all know who the Prince of Lanhai is, so who else could the Princess Consort of Lanhai be but our Luo'er?"
Originally, Madam Pei was still wearing her armor and preparing to rest, but now she didn't even bother to remove it. Instead, she turned around and led her people out in a flurry of activity.
Luo Fan hurriedly followed behind, almost falling behind.
Granny Zhang slapped her thigh: "Oh my! I knew it! The old lady would forget everything the moment she heard our young lady's name."
"She's almost sixty, how can she still run so fast? It's incredible!"
Granny Zhang and her men quickly chased after them.
A group of old women dressed in armor and carrying weapons were running wildly through the streets, which shocked the people of Mantuo City so much that their jaws almost dropped.
Fortunately, Madam Pei was persuaded to stop by Luo Fan halfway there.
"Do you want Luo'er to recognize you on the street?"
"So everyone knows you are the biological grandmother of Princess Lanhai?"
"You won't be able to go out so easily anymore. You should think this through."
Madam Pei then quickly stopped walking.
"Let's go, let's hurry back and wait for Luo'er at the City Lord's Mansion!"
"My Luo'er is finally back! She's finally back!"
"Luo'er—"
Madam Pei turned around and ran back.
The old women, including Zhang Mama, who had just caught up, were still panting when their mistress waved her hand and said, "Go! Back to the manor!"
Zhang Mama and the others: "Huh?"
They're done for, ha...
How come the old lady has such good energy and such vigor?
Should they all find a partner to spend their old age with?
The closer Li Qingluo got to the city lord's mansion, the calmer her heart became.
She was holding an urn of ashes in her arms, with Nanping sitting beside her.
Her trip to the Western Regions was undoubtedly a failure.
They failed to save their master's life and only brought back a mentally unstable Nanping.
She felt a pang of sorrow in her heart and didn't know how to tell her grandmother about it.
The carriage drove directly into the city lord's mansion.
Duan Rongshi personally dismounted and came to the carriage, and then personally helped Li Qing down from the carriage.
Only then did he notice the urn containing her ashes in her arms.
Duan Rongshi's eyes trembled slightly.
"Luo'er, what is this?"
Tears streamed down Li Qingluo's face: "It's Master."
"Ah Shi, Master is dead."
When Madam Pei and Luo Fan heard this, they both thought they had misheard.
"Luo'er, what are you saying?"
Which master do you have?
"You child, have you secretly sought out a master to learn a skill from someone else behind our backs again?"
"Tell Grandma quickly, what new things have you learned?"
