Chapter 189 Worry, has it come true?

"Wife, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket to wipe her mouth. Jiang

Youning had just eaten a piece of steamed pork with rice flour when she saw Chu Qing vomiting, and she was also shocked, "What's wrong with the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Chu Qing wiped the corner of her mouth and looked up at Jiang Youning, "I'm fine, I just ate too fast."

Jiang Youning breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, you eat slowly, this is enough."

Ever since Xiao Yu and his wife, as well as Nan Mianmian, came to eat, there was often not enough food.

Xiao Yu always came early, and Chuntao cooked according to the number of people.

Nan Mianmian would make surprise attacks and specially pick the food to be served on the table on time.

This resulted in not enough food and people scrambling for food.

In order to eat her fill, Jiang Youning would prepare one more serving of food whenever Xiao Yu and her husband came.

Xiao Yu brought her some tea to rinse her mouth, "Are you feeling better?"

After Chu Qing rinsed her mouth, she looked at Xiao Yu, "Much better, let's eat."

Xiao Yu looked at Chu Qing worriedly for a few more times, and when he saw her pick up the chopsticks, pick up the spicy beef and put it into her mouth without vomiting, he retracted his gaze and continued to eat.

Jiang Youning felt relieved when he saw this.

Xiao Yu picked up the spicy beef and pickled fish for Chu Qing. These were the two dishes that Chu Qing picked up the most and finished all of them.

The only thing she didn't eat was the meat in her bowl.

Xiao Yu thought she was tired of eating, so he didn't ask.

After lunch, Chu Qing wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Spicy beef is really delicious."

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "Of course, people who like spicy food will like this dish."

Xiao Yu took a sip of tea, "Indeed, I like it very much."

Chu Qing glanced at Xiao Yu. He was obviously a prince who had no shortage of food and drink, but he looked like an ordinary person who had never tasted delicacies.

However, the food in Lingxi Courtyard cannot be eaten outside.

In the dead of night, Xiao Yu watched his wife undress and go to bed, but still didn't ask him to sleep with her. Why was his wife different from others?

Jiang Youning looked forward to Xie Jing's return every day.

Chu Qing wished he wouldn't come back.

Seeing that they had already gone to bed, hope was dashed.

Xiao Yu took out a small exquisite box from her pocket. This was bought when she went to Suzhou.

She was supposed to give it to her last night, but because of a misunderstanding, she forgot to give the gift in her excitement.

He took the box in his hand, walked to the bed, and looked inside the bed. He saw Chu Qing looking up at him, as if she guessed he was coming.

Yes, she studied martial arts and had better hearing than ordinary people. It was normal for her to know he was coming.

"Wife."

Chu Qing asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Xiao Yu took two steps forward and sat down beside the bed, looking at Chu Qing again, "I have something to give you."

Chu Qing's eyes flashed with curiosity, and she asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Yu handed the box in his hand to Chu Qing, "I bought this in Suzhou, I wonder if you like it?"

Chu Qing stared at the box in his hand for a while, reached out to take it, and then slowly opened it with curiosity, and found a ruby ​​ring inside. Under the dim candlelight, the ruby ​​emitted a strange light.

Xiao Yu asked, "Do you like it?"

Chu Qing nodded, "It's pretty."

Xiao Yu raised the corner of his mouth when he heard it, "I'll help you put it on."

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he was so expectant, she nodded, "Okay."

Xiao Yu took the ring from her hand, held up her ring finger with his other hand, and slowly put the ruby ​​ring on it.

His mother once said that giving a ring to someone you like and then wearing it yourself is equivalent to trapping that person.

Now, he has trapped Chu Qing, and she can't run away.

Xiao Yu looked at her slender knuckles, which were as white as jade, making the ruby ​​brighter and more charming.

His wife looks good in anything she wears.

Chu Qing looked at the ruby ​​ring on her knuckles, then looked at Xiao Yu, staring at her hand closely.

Xiao Yu had seen enough and said, "You continue to sleep, I'm going to sleep too."

Chu Qing watched Xiao Yu get up and leave, and called out, "Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu stopped and looked back at Chu Qing, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"My wife wants to sleep with me?"

Chu Qing, "...No."

Xiao Yu's surprise disappeared, "Does my wife want to tell me something?"

Chu Qing pursed her lips, "Be careful at night, so you don't catch a cold."

Xiao Yu's peach blossom eyes smiled when he heard this. His wife was caring about him at this time, which was a good sign.

"I know, you should go to bed early."

Chu Qing, "Yeah."

Xiao Yu went back to the couch and lay down, looking in the direction of the bed, listening to Chu Qing's breathing to determine whether Chu Qing was asleep.

After waiting for a while, the sound of even breathing came, indicating that Chu Qingyijiu was asleep.

My wife sleeps really well.

Xiao Yu sighed. He used to sleep well, but since he got married, his sleep quality has been declining.

Ten days later, Jiang Youning still didn't hear about Xie Jing's return, and she couldn't help but start to worry.

She lay in the hanging chair, looking at the tree above her head. The leaves were still turning yellow, and occasionally a gust of wind would blow, and one or two leaves would fall down.

Jiang Youning was stunned for a while, then suddenly sat up, "Leng Yu."

The next second, Leng Yu appeared in front of Jiang Youning, and he saluted, "Madam, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Youning said, "Go out and ask if the general is on his way back."

"Yes, madam." Leng Yu received the order and strode out.

Not long after, Leng Yu came back.

"Madam, I asked around in the city, but I didn't hear any news about the general's return."

Jiang Youning looked worried when she heard that. "There is no news at all? It's unreasonable."

Leng Yu saw that Jiang Youning was so anxious, so he suggested: "If the general is coming back, the first person to know is the emperor. Madam, do you want me to go to the palace to inquire?"

Jiang Youning felt that Leng Yu was right. If Xie Jing was warned by the war and returned to the court, he would definitely write to the emperor as soon as possible.

"You go to the palace to inquire."

"Yes, madam." Leng Yu took the order and left the general's mansion again.

Chuntao came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Youning sitting there in a daze. She asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Youning sighed, "There is no news about the general until now. I am waiting anxiously."

Chuntao comforted her, "Miss, the general is a lucky person. He will return safely. Don't worry too much."

Jiang Youning sighed again. She didn't want to worry, but she was really worried when there was no news from Xie Jing.

In the evening, Leng Yu came back from the palace.

Jiang Youning saw Leng Yu and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is there any news about the general?"

Leng Yu shook his head, "Not yet."

Jiang Youning frowned. Even the emperor didn't know. Could it be that it's not over yet?

Leng Yu said, "Don't worry, Madam. The general can't be hurt by ordinary people. The subordinates will also ask about the news of the general's return."

Jiang Youning said, "This is the only way now."

In the past few days, Xiao Yu and Chu Qing came to eat more and more frequently.

Jiang Youning didn't think there was anything wrong. It was good to chat and eat together.

Chu Qing was probably influenced by Xiao Yu, and her face was much thicker than before.

"I want to eat pickled fish and spicy beef."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but said, "You're already getting angry, and you still want to eat spicy food?"

Chu Qing nodded, "I want to eat it."

Xiao Yu had no choice, "Okay, let Chuntao prepare honey water."

"No problem." Jiang Youning turned around and told Chuntao to prepare it.

When the meal was served, Chuntao prepared honey water for everyone.

These days, I either eat spicy food or am on the way to eat spicy food, so it's right to prepare honey water.

Jiang Youning ate pickled fish and looked up at Xiao Yu, only to see that he was picking up vegetables for Chu Qing again.

"Xiao Yu, have you heard about Xie Jing's return?"

Xiao Yu looked up at Jiang Youning, "I haven't heard about it, what happened?"

Jiang Youning said, "Xie Jing has been gone for a long time, winter is here, and he hasn't come back yet."

Xiao Yu calculated the time, Xie Jing has been away for five months, no wonder Jiang Youning is worried.

"Don't worry, I will help you find out."

Jiang Youning nodded, "Yeah."

Chu Qing looked up at Jiang Youning, then glanced at Xiao Yu, thought for a while, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl.

Xiao Yu looked at the fish meat that suddenly appeared in the bowl, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Qing. He had picked up food for her countless times, but this was the first time that his wife took the initiative to pick up food for him. He was so happy.

"Thank you, wife." Xiao Yu smiled and picked up the fish meat in the bowl and put it into his mouth to eat. He ate it very deliciously.

Jiang Youning saw this scene and shook her head helplessly. When would it be her turn to feed the dog food!

These days, Leng Yu has been paying attention to the news of whether the general would return.

When it was late at night,

Leng Yu stayed in the palace until the early morning before leaving.

Before leaving, he found that a batch of urgent memorials were delivered to Yu's study. Leng Yu went up to the roof without saying a word.

Xiao Yun had to work until very late every day. When he was about to rest after reading the memorials, he saw a new memorial.

"Your Majesty, this is what General Li sent back in an emergency after traveling eight hundred miles."

Xiao Yun heard General Li frown. General Li and Xie Jing went to war together, so how could it be General Li?

"Quickly bring it to me."

The guard handed the memorial to him with both hands.

Xiao Yun picked up the memorial and opened it impatiently. He glanced at the contents inside and his face changed immediately.

He slapped the memorial in his hand on the dragon table, "This is impossible. The news must be wrong."

It was the first time that Eunuch Li saw the emperor look so nervous.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yun took a long time to calm down his nervous mood, "General Li said that Xie Jing was dead, which is simply absurd. How could Xie Jing be dead?"

"This matter is not allowed to be spread indiscriminately. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yun took a deep breath, picked up the memorial again, and read it again. It was indeed written by General Li himself.

Xie Jing will not be in trouble.

Definitely not.

Leng Yu's face changed when he heard this. He left the palace quietly and went directly back to the general's mansion.

When he returned to the general's mansion, he went straight to Lingxi Courtyard. Looking at the room, it was pitch black, and he hesitated.

At this time, Jiang Youning had already gone to bed and slept very soundly.

Leng Yu hesitated for a long time, but still did not wake Jiang Youning up, planning to wait until dawn to report.

The next morning, Jiang Youning sat at the table to eat breakfast. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the food would get cold later.

Leng Yu walked in from outside and saw Jiang Youning eating a meat bun. He pursed his lips and said, "Madam."

Jiang Youning saw Leng Yu coming and asked hurriedly, "Is there any news about the general?"

Leng Yu nodded, "Yes, there is news about the general."

Jiang Youning asked, "When will the general come back?"

Leng Yu hesitated for a while, "Last night, I stayed in the study until the emperor rested. Just when I was about to leave, an 800-mile express letter was suddenly delivered. It was sent by General Li. The letter seemed to say that the general was dead."

Leng Yu said the last sentence very lightly.

Jiang Youning was stunned for a long time after hearing this. At that moment, it seemed that something collapsed.

Xie Jing said he would come back safely, how could he not keep his word?

He didn't even consummate his marriage.

How could he die young?

Jiang Youning had always known this, but still couldn't accept it.

Leng Yu saw that Jiang Youning's face looked a little strange, he said: "Madam, it is possible that the news is wrong, we are waiting, waiting for the definite news."

Jiang Youning's tears rolled in her eyes, when she looked at Leng Yu, her eyes were full of hope, "Really?"

Leng Yu said: "Without definite news, I will not believe that the general is dead."

Jiang Youning wiped away her tears, "You are right, we are waiting."

Chuntao came in and saw Jiang Youning crying, she was scared and hurried over, "Madam, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?"

"I'm fine." Jiang Youning wiped away her tears again.

Chuntao glanced at Leng Yu.

Leng Yu felt a little guilty, "I'll take my leave first."

Jiang Youning waved her hand, "Okay."

Chuntao saw her daughter crying so sadly, and she missed the general again. She didn't know when the general would come back.

Before lunch, Xiao Yu brought his wife to eat, and saw Jiang Youning sitting on the couch, and found that she was not right.

"Ning'er, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Jiang Youning saw Xiao Yu, thought about it, and asked him to put his ear over.

Xiao Yu immediately put his ear over.

"I have been worried about Xie Jing, so I asked Leng Yu to find out. He came back from the palace and said that General Li's urgent letter mentioned that Xie Jing was dead. I don't know whether it is true or not. I was very panicked."

After hearing this, Xiao Yu was stunned for a long time without reacting.

Xie Jing is someone he admires, how could he die?

This is impossible.

He comforted her, "Ning'er, don't worry, the news must be false, I'll go to the palace to find out the news."

Jiang Youning nodded, "Okay, I've found out."

"Leave it to me." Xiao Yu said and looked at Chu Qing, "Wife, you stay here for lunch, I'll go to the palace."

Chu Qing heard what Jiang Youning and Xiao Yu were talking about just now, and she knew it was urgent, so she nodded; "Okay, go ahead, don't worry about me."

Xiao Yu left the general's mansion and went straight to the palace.

Xiao Yun didn't sleep well last night since he read the 800-mile urgent memorial. He was in a very bad mood all day today and didn't like anything.

The servants in the palace didn't dare to get angry, for fear of annoying the emperor.

Xiao Yu strode to the door of the study, but was stopped by Eunuch Li.

Eunuch Li knew why the emperor was in a bad mood. Seeing Xiao Yu coming, he said, "Little Master, you are not here at the right time today. The emperor is busy."
