Chapter 494 Abu in Danger
The emperor never expected that Shi Yu would appear outside the palace gate.
Three months ago, Shi Yu instigated the Fang family father and son of Chilie to rebel, and led them to counterattack Chilie, capturing two cities of Chilie in one go.
Chi Lie was caught off guard, and since it was winter, he had no choice but to close the city gates and temporarily cease fighting.
He had previously analyzed Shi Yu's tactics with Lan Shu in private, and felt that it was too risky and counterintuitive for Shi Yu to send troops in winter.
Now looking at the person standing in front of him with his face covered by a hood, he seemed to understand Shi Yu's intention.
Shi Yu wanted to severely injure Chi Lie before Qing Yan gave birth, and then take advantage of Chi Lie's truce to quietly return to Wei to accompany Qing Yan in giving birth.
The emperor was naturally happy that his son-in-law had such a heart. However, looking at the man with a frosted face, he sighed, "Qingyan's birth went smoothly. Don't worry, go wash up and get ready first."
It’s too late anyway, so a moment won’t make up for it.
Shi Yu had been traveling day and night, so his clothes were naturally not clean. He was going to see his wife and children later and could not be sloppy. He nodded and followed the eunuch to the bathroom.
When he came out, he changed into the clothes of a eunuch.
The clothes were sent by the emperor, and they were exactly what Shi Yu wanted.
He came back secretly and did not want to reveal his identity, so as to avoid any unusual movements on Chi Lie's side. If people found out that he had come to Wei, he would inevitably encounter assassinations on his way back, which would only cause trouble.
"I've sent someone to check, and they're both sleeping right now."
The emperor pointed to the food on the table and said, "Eat something first. I'll tell you about Qingyan's delivery."
The food had already been served. Shi Yu also knew the emperor's good intentions, so he picked up the bowl and asked, "As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I heard that Qingyan had given birth. Is the rumor true?"
"Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's also true. Panpan took advantage of Qingyan taking a nap and stuffed Master Yilian's relic into Qingyan's mouth..."
The emperor spoke neither fast nor slow, and Shi Yu had just finished his meal when he finished what he was saying.
Glancing at Shi Yu's chapped lips, the emperor pointed at the soup and said, "Drink some more soup, and tell me about Feng Zhao's situation."
Knowing that Wei Qingyan was not suffering, Shi Yu felt a little relieved. He poured a bowl of soup and briefly told the emperor about the situation on Feng Zhao's side.
Only after seeing that he had eaten and drunk his fill did the emperor release him.
When Wei Qingyan was half asleep, he suddenly felt a warmth on his forehead, and then he saw a familiar face.
She blinked, "Am I dreaming?"
Shi Yu placed her hand on his face and smiled, "No."
Wei Qingyan touched his face, feeling the warmth and warmth, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Did you come all this way? When did you arrive?"
"I had just arrived outside the city when you were born, but unfortunately I was still a step too late."
Shi Yu stroked her face and said, "Xiao Yan, thank you for your hard work."
Wei Qingyan noticed his clothes and guessed that he must have met the emperor and must know what had happened.
His expression was a little unnatural. "It's not that hard, just a little embarrassing."
There are probably not many people in the world who give birth to a son with his son in his pants.
"Don't be embarrassed, Xiaoyan. That's Master taking care of you and the child. I'm very grateful to him."
The closer Qingyan's due date got, the more anxious he became, worried that she would suffer. He even wrote a letter to Wuqiu in private, asking her to remind Qingyan to always carry the medicine sent by the old lady of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Of course, he hoped that Qingyan would not need it. Fortunately, he really did not need it, and it went so smoothly.
Wei Qingyan had cried that time and had already accepted the fact. He stopped worrying about it and asked with bright eyes, "Do you want to see your son?"
Shi Yu nodded lightly and said, of course he wanted to see it.
Not long after, Lan Shu came over holding her little grandson, and placed the child in Shi Yu's arms. After teaching Shi Yu how to hold the child, she said, "Qingyan has just given birth and is not moving. His Majesty has just re-selected the palace servants serving in this side hall. You can stay here with peace of mind."
The main reason was that she knew that Shi Yu would not stay for many days this time. After he left, her daughter would still be in confinement, and she would always be worried about living in the East Palace with the child.
Shi Yu also hoped that Wei Qingyan could be well taken care of and stay with Lan Shu, so he would feel at ease. "Thank you, mother."
"Why are you being so polite to my mother?"
He had come all the way here in the cold winter, and as a mother-in-law, she was both satisfied and distressed with Shi Yu.
So I didn't stay any longer and left time for the three of them.
The moment Shi Yu held the child in his arms, the feeling of being a father truly emerged from his heart. He held the child carefully and said softly, "The nose and lips are like yours."
"The eyes look like yours." Wei Qingyan also turned his head to look at the child.
Seeing Shi Yu's stiff posture, she knew that he was not used to holding a child yet, so she patted the bed and said, "Put our son next to me, and you take a break."
Shi Yu put the child on the bed with his hands and feet. The little guy suddenly opened his eyes as he touched the bed.
However, he just glanced at Shi Yu lightly and closed his eyes again.
As a new father, Shi Yu just raised his hand to say hello to his child, but was ignored by his son when they met for the first time.
Wei Qingyan saw him frozen in place and burst out laughing.
Shi Yu also felt that he had been a little silly. He gently lay beside the child and whispered, "Xiao Yan, I have two names for him: Xiao Yanze and Xiao Yanxi. Which one do you think is better?"
Yanze means that children are like water, nourishing everything and having a heart that embraces everything.
Yanxi hopes that his child's life will be filled with light and happiness.
Wei Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Let's call Yanxi."
The emperor's father had already made plans in his mind. His child was destined to lack some of the innocence that ordinary children should have, so he hoped that he could also have light and happiness on his road to becoming a king.
As if satisfied with the name, the child opened his eyes again as Wei Qingyan finished speaking. Shi Yu leaned over to look at him, "Are you also satisfied with the name your mother chose for you?"
This time, little Yanxi did not offend his father. He stared at Shi Yu for a while, turned his eyes slightly, and then fell asleep again.
Shi Yu held his little hand and kissed it carefully and reverently.
Then he looked at Wei Qingyan, his eyes full of tenderness, and he felt a sense of abundance as if the whole world was around him.
Wei Qingyan also stretched out his hand, and the two of them held hands in the air, gazing at each other with raised lips.
Thousands of miles away, Abu seemed to have sensed something and looked towards the direction of Wei.
Yesterday, he led his army all the way to the outskirts of the Wudan Imperial City. As long as they broke through that city gate, the Wudan Kingdom would no longer exist.
King Wudan also knew that he had gone back on his word, and the Wei Dynasty would no longer just surrender as they did in the past. This time they would definitely destroy Wudan.
Therefore, he ordered the Udan army to fight to the death.
Unable to attack for the time being, Abu also wanted to minimize the casualties of the Wei soldiers, so he ordered the Wei army to station directly outside the Wudan Imperial City, intending to wait for the opportunity to sneak into the city as a spirit, open the city gates, and welcome the Wei army to attack the city so that the Wei army can spend the cold winter in the city.
A few days passed like this, and when the Wei soldiers had almost recovered, Abu sneaked into the city gate at night.
Just as he was about to show up and kill the guard at the city gate, suddenly a red light came towards him like a huge net. Abu was unable to dodge, and his originally hidden figure was exposed to the sight of the Wudan army.
There was a sudden cry of killing inside the city gate. Abu, who was hit by the red light, could no longer hide his body and had to pick up his gun to deal with the Wudan army. However, his peripheral vision was always focused on the two men in white robes who had just cast talismans at him. They were staring at him with sinister eyes.
That sight made Abu shudder.
