Chapter 292 The best at the moment
Just when the Xie family was immersed in the joy of Shen Heng's pregnancy, news suddenly came that Xi County and Yao County, which had been recovered by the then emperor, were once again captured by the Great Qi.
Wanzhou fell into dire straits again.
The border crossing is approaching. A few days ago, you could hear a lot of firecrackers and see children throwing firecrackers in the alleys. But these days, all of this is gone. Everyone is talking about the war. Even the games the children play are about killing enemies and becoming generals.
Chen Heng thought about the final outcome of this dynasty's six hundred years. Could it really be that after a long period of separation, there will be reunion, and after a long period of reunion, there will be separation?
Everyone has long disappeared in the long river of history, and is it ultimately powerless to save the situation?
That day, Peng Yunzhao came to see Chen Heng with a big belly.
"Aheng, look at your complexion, how come it looks so good." When Peng saw Chen Heng, she was quite envious. Aheng's skin was originally white, and her whole body was white and tender.
"Really?" Chen Heng had been eating, drinking, and sleeping these past few days. She hadn't gone out, so she hadn't dressed herself up carefully.
"Really. Sister-in-law, what do you usually feed Ah Heng?" Mrs. Peng asked Mrs. Xia who was standing beside her.
"It's no different from before." Xia said with a smile, "Aheng is not picky and eats everything. You sit down and I'll get you some food." She left with a smile.
Peng touched her belly and looked at Chen Heng with envy: "That's great. This baby of mine has been giving me a lot of trouble."
"It's such a late month, I shouldn't bother you anymore, right?" Chen Heng asked.
"My stomach is fine, but look at my face." Madam Peng pointed to the area around her eyes and said helplessly, "I didn't have any of these when I gave birth to Sister Yu. But I got them when I got pregnant with this one. The imperial physician said that for some people, they disappear after giving birth, while for others, they last a lifetime."
Chen Heng took a look and saw some spots. "It's okay, not very noticeable. I'll think of a way to get rid of them after I give birth to the baby. I'm sure there's a way to make them go away."
"I hope so. Let's go visit Yuqing together in a few days. Her morning sickness is even worse than mine, and the Wu family must be so worried." Mrs. Peng said, "Who would have thought she still had the energy to comfort the whole family."
"Madam Min is very admirable in this respect." Shen Heng thought of Min Yuqing's calmness and composure. If it were someone else, they would be scared to death by such a big change.
While the two were chatting, there was a bit of noise in the yard.
Seeing that both ladies were looking outside, Ah Chan said softly, "I'll go out and take a look."
When he returned a little later, he reported, "Lord Meng has sent five guards to escort Madam Peng back to Dong. He said there are refugees causing chaos outside the city, and he's worried that there will be chaos inside the imperial city as well."
"Refugees causing trouble?" Chen Heng and Peng Yunzhao exchanged glances. Chen Heng was surprised. "What refugees?"
"It seems they came from Wanzhou. I heard from the guards that there are many refugees causing chaos not only outside the imperial city, but also in Yuezhou and Yuzhou." Achan said.
These refugees came out all of a sudden. Chen Heng didn't believe that the people of Wanzhou would come here to cause chaos. This situation was most likely man-made.
When she heard that there were refugees, Mrs. Peng could no longer sit still.
Chen Heng escorted her to the door and looked at the strong men beside the carriage. Although Master Xiao Meng had a kind temper and made Peng angry from time to time, his love for his wife was also from the bottom of his heart.
Just as Shen Heng was about to enter the house, she heard a lot of noise on the street not far away: "Achan, have Mammy and the others returned from shopping?"
"not yet."
"Tiger Fang." Shen Heng called out.
Huya hurried out: "Madam, what can I do for you?"
"Find a few people to go pick up Madam together."
