Xie Jian came back very late every day, and sometimes even stayed in the palace for several days, only letting Li Hu come back to talk to her.
At the beginning of the month, the sky was a little gloomy for several days, and there was a drizzle from time to time.
Chen Heng's belly was already very big. After all, she was due to give birth in a month. Now the imperial physician came to check her pulse every day to make sure she was safe.
"Don't worry, madam. You and the child are fine." Imperial Physician Yu.
"Imperial Physician, Ah Heng's complexion is not as rosy as before." Xia said worriedly.
The imperial physician stroked his beard and smiled, "I told you from the beginning that Madam was so worried that she became like this. She is much better now. Don't worry, as long as you drink the medicine I prescribed every day, you will get better."
After hearing what the imperial physician said, Xia felt much more relieved.
Chen Heng really didn't have any worries before, but she has been thinking a lot in the past two months. After all, the battle on the front is very intense. As for her physical condition, it is the sequelae of the Zhuyou technique. It is probably because she is pregnant. She feels tired all the time.
Just as the imperial physician was about to leave, Liu Gang hurried in: "Madam, Qingzhou has been defended. Our army led a small surprise attack and even killed a general of Northern Qi."
"Really?" Xia and Nanny Feng asked happily.
Liu Gang nodded excitedly.
The imperial physician was also happy to hear this: "Thank you, Madam, please take good care of yourself. I will come to check your pulse tomorrow." He still had to go to the palace to check the emperor's pulse. The young emperor had been worried for more than ten days, and his health had been worse recently. He hoped that this news would make the emperor get better soon.
After sending the imperial physician away, Chen Heng, Xia Shi, and Nanny Feng asked Liu Gang to explain the situation in detail.
That night, Xia happily stewed pig's trotters and gave each of the servants a large piece to celebrate.
That night, Xie Jian also came back.
"You mean, the person who killed the Northern Qi general was Ouyang En?" Shen Heng couldn't believe it, but she also felt it was within her expectations. She believed Ouyang's instincts.
Xie Jian hung his coat on the wooden beam and sat on the bed. He looked at the happy Ah Heng with tenderness in his eyes. "The army needs morale. This is the purpose of the surprise attack. Ouyang did not let us down."
Shen Heng sat down next to him and smiled, "Ouyang is determined to become a general, and it seems that he will realize it."
"Yes, no one dares to replace his military power now. If he can retake Changzhou and Wanzhou, he will be the most powerful general in the whole army."
Chen Heng nodded, and suddenly felt her shoulder sink. She found that Ajian had leaned on her shoulder and had fallen asleep. For a moment, she felt a little sad.
After stroking his face gently, Chen Heng called Achan in, and the two servants helped Xie Jian to bed.
This guy used to be so alert that any noise would wake him up. But now, he still hasn't woken up even after being manipulated by her and Achan.
Shen Heng sat beside the bed and looked at him quietly. Under the warm candlelight, her stern face, eyebrows, eyes and mouth were all full of fatigue.
His maturity and ability almost made her forget that he was only twenty years old. She remembered that when he first came to the Xie family, he could not hide his emotions. Every step he took was to force himself to grow, hide his joys and sorrows, and match the joys and sorrows of others.
Step by step we have come to this day.
She could imagine how tired he was, not only physically but also mentally, but he carried it through.
It's harder to be a good person than a bad person.
It is harder to be a wise minister than a treacherous minister.
No matter how difficult it is, she will stay by his side. Shen Heng lowered her head and kissed Xie Jian's forehead, then lay down to sleep with him.
