Chapter 147 General Xiao is about to return to Beijing!
He even deliberately brought up the fact that Concubine Zhao almost had a miscarriage to shut her up!
She looked at Xie Junlin in astonishment, and when she met his unfriendly eyes, her face darkened and she turned and left.
"Since you don't like me so much, I'll just leave!"
Xie Junlin let her go without trying to keep her.
Watching Queen Mother Jiang leave angrily, Shen Yuanwei looked up curiously and asked Xie Junlin, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood today. Did someone in the court make you angry?"
Xie Junlin's hand around her waist suddenly tightened.
His throat felt dry. "Is it so obvious?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "In the past, when my mother sent me soup, even if you were unhappy, you would restrain yourself and not react so strongly."
Xie Junlin lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Yuanwei.
After a long while, he finally said in a hoarse voice, "Today, I received an urgent letter from the governor of Suzhou, which was sent eight hundred miles away, saying that General Xiao had already captured the Taihu Water Fort and would be returning to the court."
Shen Yuanwei was stunned when she heard this, and then her brows lit up with joy.
The person she has been thinking about day and night is finally coming back!
That man kept his promise and he really returned to Beijing to pick her up within five months!
Xie Junlin saw her joy and felt a bitter taste in his throat. "You are very happy, right? Your Xiao Lingzhao will come back to take you home. You can finally stay with him forever."
Of course Shen Yuanwei was happy.
But she glanced at Xie Junlin, who looked lonely, and did not dare to show her joy too obviously.
Now that Xiao Lingzhao hasn't come back yet, we can't make this man unhappy and don't create unnecessary trouble.
Shen Yuanwei said, "I am happy for many things, not just for Xiao Lingzhao. Your Majesty, do you know that Dr. Song just said that I will give birth in about half a month. Your Majesty will be able to see your child soon. Aren't you happy?"
Xie Junlin couldn't be happy.
Even when he heard that the baby was about to be born, the joy could not offset the sadness in his heart.
He held Shen Yuanwei in his arms, his voice barely audible.
"Shen Yuanwei, you are counting the days to leave me every day, right? But I really don't want to let you go. Why can't you like me a little bit? Why do you have to leave me..."
Shen Yuanwei leaned in his arms, not knowing what to say.
Since I can't stay with him, nothing I say would be appropriate.
Just let him recover slowly.
From now on, he will not feel lonely as he will have crying children to accompany him.
Outside the yard.
Although Queen Mother Jiang left, she did not go far.
She was standing under the courtyard wall and heard what Xie Junlin said.
Her expression changed slightly.
Xiao Lingzhao is coming back!
Damn, why so fast?
She also wanted to wait until Shen Yuanwei had given birth and finished her confinement, and then secretly take Shen Yuanwei and Ayou away and hide them together!
The emperor could turn a blind eye to her actions, but Xiao Lingzhao would not. If Xiao Lingzhao came back, it would not be easy for her to get rid of Shen Yuanwei without anyone noticing.
Queen Mother Jiang's eyes became stern.
no.
She had to finish this matter before Xiao Lingzhao came back...
Queen Mother Jiang quietly left the courtyard wall and returned to her room.
She paced back and forth in the room for a few times, and an idea gradually became clear.
"As long as Shen Yuanwei gives birth now, she should be able to recover in half a month. Although she is still in confinement, she can at least withstand the fatigue of traveling..."
"Letting her give birth half a month earlier shouldn't have much impact on the baby. She's already been pregnant for more than eight months, right?"
"A baby over eight months old can survive..."
Queen Mother Jiang raised her hand and pressed her heart.
Her eyes were full of guilt towards Xie Junlin and her two grandsons.
She felt sorry for the two children because her selfishness as a grandmother caused the two children to be born prematurely...
I hope the two children can be born safely without any accidents. In the future, she will do her best to compensate the two children. She has no ill intentions, she just wants everyone to be well...
She had no choice, really. She didn't have time to wait for Shen Yuanwei to give birth naturally. By the time Xiao Lingzhao came back, her little son Ayou would not be able to live with Shen Yuanwei.
You can't blame her for this. If you want to blame someone, blame Xiao Lingzhao. Why didn't he capture the Taihu Water Fort half a month later!
Queen Mother Jiang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress the self-blame in her heart.
After a moment, she prepared herself mentally and called the most trusted nanny around her.
"Leave the palace immediately and say you are going to visit your parents outside the palace. Then change your clothes and go to the pharmacy to buy some abortion-inducing drugs..."
"Remember, you must buy the best and least harmful labor-inducing medicine..."
The nanny looked at Empress Dowager Jiang in surprise and doubt.
She felt a little panicked.
"Empress Dowager, what are you trying to do? You don't want to harm Concubine Zhao, do you? She is carrying your grandson in her belly. Even if she contradicted you today, you can't..."
Queen Mother Jiang shook her head.
"Who said I wanted to harm her? If I wanted to harm her, there would be no need to go through so much trouble. Wouldn't it be enough to just kill her? She is my daughter-in-law. I love her so much."
A voice in her heart said:
After all, that girl gave birth to a child for her eldest son who had no offspring, and she would accompany her autistic and phobic younger son for the rest of his life and give birth to children for him. How could she harm that girl?
Queen Mother Jiang sighed and waved her hand, asking the nanny to do it quickly.
…
evening.
Shen Yuanwei sat in front of the window, enjoying the cool breeze, and was in a very good mood.
Xiao Lingzhao is coming back, and she will soon leave this deep palace and this prison, so of course she is in a good mood.
Song Suihuan glanced at the untouched food on the table, came to her side, and whispered, "Madam, no matter how happy you are, you can't skip dinner. It's useless to say that you can only eat half a bowl of rice at noon. After eating, you are still starving. Are you not hungry now?"
Shen Yuanwei held her chin up and looked at Song Sui with a smile, "I'm hungry. My stomach is rumbling, but I'm so excited that I can't eat anything. I don't even have the appetite to eat."
Song Suihuan was helpless.
Is this the power of love?
She said, "If you really don't want to eat, I'll ask the imperial kitchen to make some soup, and you can just gulp it down, okay?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dr. Song."
She held Song Suihuan's fingers and said, "You have been really hard-working these past few months, worrying about me all day long. Fortunately, we will be free in half a month."
Song Suihuan shook his head and smiled, "You are relieved, Madam. I want to take care of you for another month. It is very important for a woman to recuperate after childbirth. I want to take care of your body myself. When you are out of confinement, we will be relieved."
Shen Yuanwei laughed, "Okay, it's my honor."
Song Suihuan spoke a few more words to Shen Yuanwei, then turned and left for the imperial kitchen.
Shen Yuanwei sat by the window, looking towards Taihu Lake, with a smile on her face.
Just as she was feeling happy, she heard footsteps in the yard.
When I looked up, I saw that it was Empress Dowager Jiang who had left in a huff at noon and came back with her nanny.
Moreover, it seemed to be heading straight for her room.
