Chapter 1847 Uneasy
Ran Xiaoyu, who had been guarding her, sensed her change and quickly turned around to protect her: "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
“…”
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
“…”
"My lady, you look so ugly."
“…”
"Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call the imperial physician for you?"
Ran Xiaoyu's concerned and anxious voice rang in her ears, but Nan Yan didn't move. She only felt her heart beating wildly and cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
Ran Xiaoyu talked for a long time but got no response from her. She suddenly became anxious and hurriedly stood up to ask Wang Baizhi to come over.
"No need."
Nan Yan suddenly spoke and reached out to hold her.
Ran Xiaoyu looked back at her and said carefully, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan was silent for a while before she said, "I want to drink some water. Go get me a cup of hot tea."
"yes."
It was her need, so Ran Xiaoyu was quick to act. After a while, she went back to the house to make her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. Nan Yan took it and drank several sips. The hot tea finally brought her back a little warmth.
Ran Xiaoyu carefully protected her and said, "My Lady, how are you? What happened just now?"
Nan Yan calmed down a little, turned to look at her, and forced a smile.
"Nothing, it's just that - something from the past suddenly occurred to me."
"What happened in the past?"
Hearing these words, Ran Xiaoyu's expression became complicated.
Nan Yan is not very old, but she has experienced too many lives and deaths, ups and downs in the past few years since entering the palace.
Which one did she think of?
Ran Xiaoyu didn't want to guess, so she just reached out and supported her: "My Lady, please go back to the house. It's cold outside. Kneeling like this, even with a cushion, is not good for your legs."
"It's okay, I'll just bow once more and then go back."
"……All right."
Ran Xiaoyu had no choice but to take the cup and step aside.
Nan Yan took another deep breath, turned around and kowtowed devoutly towards the three incense sticks with curling smoke.
She silently prayed in her heart: God have mercy on me, I believe in Si Nanyan, I hope that heaven will grant my wishes, I hope that evil will prevail over good, I hope that the imperial court's army will be invincible, and I hope that good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
I am willing to pay any price, except - except the child in my belly.
There is nothing a believer cannot sacrifice except this child.
God have mercy on us.
God has mercy...

"damn it."
Although it is spring and the weather is much warmer during the day than in the severe winter, we are still in the wild mountains and wilderness.
As soon as it got dark, it started to get colder.
Plus, they were facing a large expanse of frozen water.
The cold was so severe that even though they were wearing thick clothes, they were still shivering with cold.
Husaihei was indignant. Seeing that the road was so quiet that not even a bird flew over, and his men were actually transferred to guard here, he became more and more angry.
He picked up a stone and threw it hard at the frozen water.
With a "bang".
The stone smashed a small hole in the ice, and ice chips flew everywhere.
However, the ice surface was not broken through.
"Um?"
Hu Saihei took notice, turned his head and looked over there. After a long moment, he said in a deep voice, "Didn't they say the ice here is almost melted?"
The subordinate was sitting on the ground bored and bragging to the person next to him.
Hearing what he said, he turned around and said, "Yes."
Hu Saihei said: "That's bullshit! Look at the ice, even a rock can't break through it!"
When everyone heard this, they all leaned over to look.
One of the older bandits saw this and just laughed, "Second Commander, you're worrying too much. It's already spring, and the weather is getting warmer day by day. The ice surface can no longer support people."
"So what's going on?"
"It's just that it's cloudy today and the sun isn't out, so the ice is melting a little slower."
Hussehei looked up at the sky.
It was already dark at this time, but the dark sky above his head, the howling sound of the wind blowing through the valley, and the biting chill in the wind made him feel a little uneasy.
He asked, "Is it really impossible for a person to pass through this ice?"
"certainly."
The bandit said with an apologetic smile, "Second Master, if you don't believe me, go ahead and try it. But please don't try it. This ice surface can't hold a person. Something serious will happen."
The Houthis are still skeptical.
"Are you sure?"
"I dare to guarantee it,"
After the bandit finished speaking, he probably felt that he couldn't be too confident, so he joked, "Unless it snows heavily tonight, the water surface will freeze again. But it's already spring, how can there be such a heavy snow?"
Hearing what he said, everyone laughed.
Only then did Houshaihei feel relieved.
He found a stone to look at and closed his eyes to rest.
The bandit and his other brothers gathered together to gamble and drink.
Just as he was shouting excitedly, a white object floated down from the sky, landed on the top of his head, and disappeared in an instant.

On the other side, on the other road.
It was still pitch black, without even a hint of light. Li Lai walked in front, listening to his own footsteps and heartbeats, which almost merged with the footsteps and heartbeats of the people behind him.
But, there was still a little palpitation that they didn't have.
For some reason, the further he went in, the more uneasy he felt.
According to their understanding of the emperor's temperament, this man was extremely brave, but also willful and self-righteous. In the previous ten years, he had been stationed in Peking as the Prince of Yan and had won countless battles, which made him full of confidence in himself.
Especially this time, it seemed that after the imperial concubine became pregnant, it further indulged his self-confidence and complacency.
That’s why we suffered the defeat last time.
However, he was not completely discouraged because the path he gave was retained by Yang Dai and others. They believed that as long as they had this path, they would still have a chance to attack Hot Moon Bay.
There is also a chance of victory.
However, he never dreamed that the last defeat was planned by them.
This path was also given to him by myself.
Give him a dead end!
Thinking of this, Li Lai sighed in his heart. In fact, the sand bandits of Hot Moon Bay were just a group of rabble. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the military strategist Long Tingyun, who could have come up with such a plan to play with the emperor in the palm of their hands?
This person is really amazing.
He suddenly appeared and proposed to cooperate with Reyuewan. At the beginning, Wu Lun and the others did not trust him at all, even when he wanted to release Xue Ling and let Xue Ling go undercover in Shazhouwei to reach a deal to release Ji Sanding, they still did not trust him.
However, judging from the recent wars——
This person is so smart that he is almost a demon.
Everything is under his control.
But now, Li Lai felt inexplicably uneasy again. He even began to doubt whether the situation was still under Long Tingyun's control.
