Fu Tong'er's body kept shaking.
Sweat kept coming out on my forehead.
"Master Jiu is so heartless and ungrateful..." Fu Tong'er said, and saw Lu Zhenzhi's cold and unfamiliar eyes.
Lu Zhenzhi continued calmly, "Brother Your Majesty, I heard that the palace is holding a ceremony to confer a consort title today. If Your Majesty sends your beloved woman as a hostage, the Qi State will withdraw its troops first."
Hong Yusu looked at Fu Tong'er's increasingly pale face and felt worried. If she was really sent as a hostage, he would definitely lead his troops to rescue her.
Emperor Jing stroked Tong'er's cold little face and said to Lu Zhenzhi: "Ninth brother, take a good look at her. Are you really determined to send her to Qi as a hostage? Qi is covered in ice and snow all year round, and her body..."
"Please make a decision soon, my royal brother. The war cannot be delayed! Once I recover, I will lead the army to attack Qi, rescue the concubine, and return your woman to you."
Fu Tong'er shook her head and covered her lower abdomen with one hand. In her belly were Jiu Ye's two premature twin babies.
"Master Jiu, how could you..." Fu Tong'er gasped for breath, her body exhausted.
"Then send King Shan to negotiate peace with Qi," Emperor Jing said. "As for Dian and Chu to the east,"
"Please leave it to Qixuan. Although he is naughty, he has the potential to lead troops."
"That's it." Emperor Jing waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave."
Jiu Ye was carried out, and Fu Tong'er also ran out and fell in the rain.
"Master Jiu! Master Jiu! Why do you treat me like this? There's really nothing between me and His Majesty!"
Jiu Ye raised his hand and the sedan chair stopped.
Fu Tong'er slowly crawled to the side of the sedan chair, the rain soaking her face: "Master Jiu, His Majesty and I really..."
"Is it okay for the Queen's sister-in-law to cling to me like this?"
Fu Tong'er listened blankly.
At this moment, Jiu Ye acted as if he didn't recognize her.
"You, don't you remember me?"
"Does this king know you?"
There was a loud thunder.
"Noble Concubine Chen, you don't need to worry..."
"I don't need to worry?" Fu Tong'er touched her belly. "Master Jiu told me not to worry?"
Lu Zhenzhi lowered his eyes to look at Fu Tong'er's hand touching her belly, and finally said coldly: "Within ten days, I will lead my troops to Qi."
After saying this, he ordered people to carry the sedan chair and leave.
Fu Tong'er fell in the heavy rain, her whole body soaked.
It's hard to tell whether it's rain or tears on your face.
She thought it was her Ninth Master who came to rescue her! Unexpectedly, he was sending her to Qi as a hostage.
Everyone knows that the Regent's Order is sometimes more useful than the Emperor's edict.
At this time, Emperor Jing came over, picked her up and carried her horizontally, and walked into the Fenghuang Palace, with Xiao Changzi holding an umbrella beside him.
That night, Fu Tong'er developed a high fever.
I kept talking about "Jiu Ye" in my dreams.
The next day, when the fever subsided, the Regent's decree was sent to Fenghuang Palace. The decree ordered the second prince, Prince Shan, to accompany Concubine Chen to Qi as a hostage.
Before leaving...
Outside the Phoenix Palace
Emperor Jing held Fu Tong'er's arms and said, "Tong'er, when you go to Qi, Qi Zhao will take care of you. When you return, I will make you my queen."
He held her in his arms and said, "Tong'er, my ninth brother seems to have forgotten you."
Fu Tong'er closed her eyes and whispered into Emperor Jing's arms, "Did Your Majesty send that demon with a ghost face and iron hammer to guard the Royal Ancestral Temple? Your Majesty wanted to kill Master Jiu, right?"
Emperor Jing pressed Fu Tong'er's body tighter in his arms, then released her: "Qizhao!"
King Shan came over and bowed: "Father."
"The journey to Qi is long and the environment is harsh. You, protect her well and wait for your Ninth Prince to send his troops to rescue you and return to the country. If she loses even a hair after you return, I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes, I obey your command."
The carriages passed through the palace and the imperial city, passing by the Prince Regent Chun's residence...
Fu Tong'er took a look at the words and saw the tall figure of the Ninth Master sitting in a sedan chair being carried out of the palace.
The two looked at each other.
She closed her eyes. She never wanted to see him again in this life.
The two children in her belly...
Even after ten months, I will never let them recognize their father.
