Ye Zeyu rode his horse at breakneck speed back to the palace, expecting to hear Su Muxi's heart-wrenching screams, but instead he saw Su Muxi eating her meal with gusto.
"Xi'er, how are you?!"
Ye Zeyu hurriedly walked to Su Muxi's side and naturally knelt on one knee, simply because he did not want Su Muxi to look up at him.
Su Muxi smiled and said, "It's okay. Childbirth isn't that quick. The pain comes in waves. I need to eat more while it's not in pain, otherwise I won't have the strength to give birth later."
After saying that, she raised her hand and touched the mask on Ye Zeyu's face. "I'm fine. The situation in the Northern Frontier is urgent. You should go quickly. You are the God of War of Qi. You should guard the territory of Qi and protect the people of Qi."
Seeing that Ye Zeyu still didn't move, Su Muxi touched her belly and said, "Look how well the baby is. I thought childbirth would be very painful, but I just had some pain and it wasn't that painful. Maybe the baby will be born as soon as you leave the city."
I know the military situation is urgent, so please go quickly. The children and I will wait for you in Beijing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zeyu reached out and hugged Su Muxi.
How fortunate I am to have married such an intelligent and understanding wife as Su Muxi!
He clearly promised to take good care of Xi'er and not let her suffer any injustice, but now he's going to break his promise...
"Xi'er, wait for me to come back!"
"good!"
…
The military situation was indeed urgent, and the woman's childbirth might take a whole day, so Ye Zeyu couldn't wait. Therefore, he could only leave without looking back, because he was afraid that if he saw Su Muxi again, he wouldn't be able to leave.
After Ye Zeyu left, Su Muxi could no longer hold back and cried out in pain.
The child was actually being naughty, but she had to appear relaxed because only in this way could she alleviate Ye Zeyu's guilt and allow him to leave with less to worry about.
"Xi'er! How are you?!"
Seeing the pain on Su Muxi's face, Su Xing wished he could give birth to the child himself!
But then Su Muxi gritted her teeth and said, "Father, in half an hour, send a letter to Ye Zeyu and say that you have given birth to a son and a daughter."
He can discipline his son, and he can cherish his daughter.
Su Xing hurriedly nodded in agreement. He was willing to give up anything, even his life, as long as it made Su Muxi feel better!
Everyone understood Su Muxi's intentions.
It's simply to reduce Ye Zeyu's worries and allow him to focus on defending against the enemy.
Not long after Ye Zeyu led his troops out of the capital, Mai Kun arrived at full speed.
"But something happened to the princess?!"
When Ye Ziyu saw Mai Kun, his heart tightened, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mai Kun's smiling face.
"The Princess Consort has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl! She is still too young to write, so this is a letter from Master Su to you."
Ye Ziyu hurriedly took the letter from Mai Kun's hand, and after reading its contents, his brows finally relaxed.
Xi'er is fine. The delivery went smoothly and the baby is healthy!
That's wonderful!
…
Reports from the northern frontier kept coming in. In less than two months, the northern frontier had fallen, and the Xuanwu Army had retreated to Ganzhou.
Ye Zeyu had already taken over the command of the Xuanwu Army, but he was still helpless against the cannons of the Northern Yan.
The once invincible war god of Qi is now being defeated one after another.
This time, Consort Li had Murong Qing bound and taken to the front line, but Northern Yan showed no intention of caring for Murong Qing, the princess of Northern Yan. If Ye Ziyu hadn't intervened in time to protect Murong Qing, she would probably have died under a hail of arrows long ago.
Ye Zeyu looked at the map, pondered for a moment, and said, "The cannonballs for those cannons require a lot of iron. The reason why Northern Yan did not press their advantage is probably because they ran out of cannonballs. Tonight, send a team of scouts to investigate. If it is as I guessed, we will have a chance to counterattack."
"My lord, allow me to lead the men there!"
Xiao Ce spoke first, his expression resolute, clearly indicating that he was determined to die.
Immediately afterwards, the others also began to kneel down and beg for their orders.
For more than a month, the members of the Xuanwu Army felt as if they were in hell.
Under the onslaught of the Northern Yan cannons, they seemed to have no ability to resist, and they could only watch helplessly as their former comrades and brothers died one by one.
The people were displaced and the country was invaded by foreign enemies.
Hearing that there was a chance to fight back, they were naturally unafraid of death. If they could drive the Northern Yan out of Qi, they would die a worthy death!
Just then, a soldier outside the tent said that someone from the Prince of Yong'an's mansion had come and requested to see Ye Zeyu.
He had been away from the capital for more than a month, but he had not received any news from the manor. However, he could only tell himself that no news was good news, which meant that Xi'er and the child were safe and sound.
Upon suddenly hearing that someone had arrived at the mansion, he immediately became tense.
"Let them in quickly!"
However, to Ye Zeyu's surprise, the person who came was actually McQueen.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the capital and protect the Princess? Why are you here?! Has something happened in the capital?"
Upon hearing this, McQueen immediately knelt on the ground, looking as if he were admitting his guilt.
Seeing McQueen like this, Ye Ziyu immediately felt dizzy and swayed, almost fainting.
"But has something happened to the princess?"
Ye Zeyu felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and he didn't even know how he managed to say those words.
Mai Kun knew that Ye Ziyu had misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "The Princess and the young masters are all well!"
Xiao Ce kicked Mai Kun in an annoyance, "Then who are you trying to impress with this look!"
McQueen looked miserable. "Isn't it the Princess who's here?"
He then kowtowed deeply to Ye Zeyu, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I truly couldn't persuade the Princess Consort. Besides, it was the Princess Consort who forbade us from sending messages. The Princess Consort had just given birth and was in her postpartum confinement period. I dared not disobey the Princess Consort... and so..."
As a result, the princess came to Ganzhou by carriage right after giving birth.
She spent the entire postpartum period sitting in a carriage.
Not only that, but they also brought their two young masters along.
"Nonsense! A woman coming here will only cause trouble!"
Upon hearing Mai Kun's words, General Zhao immediately shouted out.
With the war so dire, the Prince hasn't slept for three days. For the Princess Consort of Yong'an to come now would only cause more trouble!
We not only need to send people to protect her safety, but also to take care of her emotions.
It will also distract the prince.
I thought the prince had married a virtuous and sensible wife, but I never expected that Su Muxi would be so clueless!
Before Ye Zeyu could speak, Mai Kun became displeased and stood up from the ground without waiting for Ye Zeyu to open his mouth.
He knelt down because he had failed to dissuade the princess from traveling with her two young masters.
She knelt down to beg for forgiveness because she was afraid the prince would say she hadn't taken good care of the princess.
He never knelt down because the princess's presence would cause trouble for the Xuanwu Army!
If the prince was originally the person he admired most in his life, now the person he admires most has become the princess!
