Chapter 180 Unstoppable
"Your Majesty." Concubine Hui called out.
Emperor Hong Qi looked over.
"I have something to tell you."
"I'll tell you after I've seen my grandson."
Concubine Hui had no choice but to wait. After Emperor Hong Qi looked at Yuan Yao, held Yuan Yao, returned Yuan Yao to the nurse, and inquired about Jiang Zhaoyue's condition, she spoke: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess said that she just had a dream."
"What dream?" Emperor Hong Qi sat down in the main seat and motioned her to sit down too.
Concubine Hui sat down slowly and said, "The Crown Princess dreamed that the Crown Prince had an accident in a border state."
Emperor Hong Qi's expression suddenly hardened.
Consort Hui continued, "The Crown Princess wishes the Emperor to write a letter immediately and have it delivered to the border states as quickly as possible, telling him not to send His Royal Highness to the battlefield, or to be careful of Lesheng Danyu's hidden weapons."
"Yesterday I received a report on the battle in the border states. They have been launching surprise attacks and clashes of all sizes with the Southern Jiang Kingdom. Both sides are looking for the right opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the other. There may be a major war in the next few days." When Emperor Hong Qi was the crown prince, he also fought in wars and went to the front lines.
Although he was not as skilled in marching and fighting as some generals, his judgment was always accurate. He said, "I didn't want him to go to the battlefield, but he didn't listen to me."
Concubine Hui frowned slightly: "Then——"
Emperor Hong Qi said, "I will write a letter when I return, telling him the Crown Princess's situation and what she said. I hope he will listen to my advice and return safely."
Concubine Hui nodded: "Yes."
Emperor Hong Qi was silent for a moment, then continued, "Tell the Crown Princess that the Dajin and Nanjiang troops are still in a standoff, but that Brother Yi, as the Crown Prince, will definitely return safely. Tell her not to worry and to take good care of herself and the child."
Concubine Hui replied, "Yes."
Emperor Hong Qi looked at Consort Hui and said, "Since the Crown Prince is away, I'll have to trouble you to go to the Eastern Palace more often these days and take care of the Crown Princess and the little grandson."
"Your Majesty's words are too serious. This is what I should do."
Concubine Hui was cautious and proper in her work, and Emperor Hong Qi was very relieved. He still had things to do, so he did not stay any longer and left the Eastern Palace.
Concubine Hui continued to stay in the Eastern Palace until Jiang Zhaoyue woke up.
As soon as Jiang Zhaoyue saw Concubine Hui, she asked, "My Lady, has my father arrived?"
Concubine Hui sat on the chair next to Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "I am here. I have conveyed your words to the emperor. The emperor has already gone back to write a letter. I believe it will be delivered to the border state tomorrow."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can return safely."
Seeing this, Concubine Hui advised: "You just gave birth to a child, and your Qi and blood are both depleted. Don't frown, keep a positive attitude, and take care of your body first."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue said.
Concubine Hui stayed for a while, gave some instructions to Nanny Yun and others, and then left the Eastern Palace.
Jiang Zhaoyue was too weak. Even after eating some food, she was still too weak. However, she was worried that Pei Jingzhou would not listen to Emperor Hong Qi, so she asked Xiangqiao to spread paper and grind ink.
"Crown Princess, you are too weak now and cannot write." Xiang Qiao advised.
"Spread the paper and grind the ink." Jiang Zhaoyue didn't waste time talking to her.
Xiang Qiao had no choice but to put the small table in front of Jiang Zhaoyue, spread out paper and grind ink.
Jiang Zhaoyue held the pen and had just written half a word on the paper when his forehead began to sweat, his hands began to tremble, and the ink smudged in a corner.
She had to change a piece of paper and write again.
Write and stop, stop and write.
Half an hour later, she wrote a few distorted words, but Pei Jingzhou could recognize her handwriting at a glance. She put down the brush and said, "Go, send someone to deliver it as fast as possible."
Xiangqiao did as he said.
Jiang Zhaoyue lay exhausted on the bed, looking at the slightly floating gauze curtain, hoping that Pei Jingzhou had not yet gone to the battlefield, hoping that there was still a chance to stop everything, hoping that she could save Pei Jingzhou... She just looked like this until she felt sleepy.
She dozed off and suddenly woke up. It was already daybreak outside. She asked Hongcao, "Is there any news from Bianzhou?"
Hong Cao knew that the Crown Princess had been particularly concerned about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these past few days. She was also keeping an eye on the situation in the border states, so she replied, "Not yet."
"Your Highness's letter should be arriving soon, right?" Although the capital and the border states are far apart, Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou still exchange letters every ten days, and now it's almost ten days again.
"There should be a letter tomorrow." Hongcao replied.
"When was tomorrow's letter written?"
"It could have been written a few days ago, yesterday, or today. It all depends on how His Royal Highness chooses to send it back."
Jiang Zhaoyue knew all of this, but she still wanted to find someone to confirm that Pei Jingzhou was still alive, and had received a letter from Hong Qidi, and then received the letter she wrote, thus escaping the disaster of Le Sheng Dan Yu. So she said, "It should have been written today. I hope it was written today."
Hong Cao stepped forward and asked Jiang Zhaoyue to wipe her hands: "Crown Princess, please have some breakfast."
Jiang Zhaoyue had breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack in bed, but she didn't eat much and didn't sleep well. When she opened her eyes in the morning, she still asked, "Has His Highness's letter arrived?"
"Not yet." Today Xiangqiao is serving him.
Jiang Zhaoyue asked: "When will you come?"
"I don't know either, but your Highness's letters are always punctual, so they will definitely arrive today."
Jiang Zhaoyue waited again, and in the evening, Pei Jingzhou's letter finally arrived. She leaned on the big pillow and hurriedly tore open the envelope.
Xiangqiao felt that Jiang Zhaoyue was so anxious that he was almost rude.
Jiang Zhaoyue unfolded the letter without hesitation. Pei Jingzhou's vigorous handwriting expressed his thoughts and worries for her. Every sentence was to comfort her not to worry, not to be afraid of pain, and to welcome Yuan Yao's arrival with peace of mind.
Every word is full of love.
Her heart was moved as she read it, trying to find any clues about the war, but she only knew that the letter was not written yesterday, nor the day before yesterday, but four days ago... the day before she gave birth to Yuan Yao.
As for him now... She still didn't know whether he was alive or dead. She felt uneasy and sent someone to ask Emperor Hong Qi.
Emperor Hong Qi said that he had not received any letters from the border states, and asked the Crown Princess to have a good rest and not to think too much.
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but think about it. When she opened her eyes the next day, she asked about Pei Jingzhou's situation again. Princess Duojia happened to come at this time, so she asked Princess Duojia to go to Emperor Hong Qi to ask.
She waited anxiously in bed.
"Zhaoyue, how are you today?" Concubine Hui came over and asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "It feels the same as yesterday."
"But you don't look well. Did you not sleep well last night?"
I really didn't sleep well.
Jiang Zhaoyue hasn't slept well these days.
Concubine Hui wanted to scold Xiangqiao and others.
Jiang Zhaoyue quickly stopped him and said, "I'm thinking too much."
Concubine Hui asked, "Because of the Crown Prince?"
"Um."
Concubine Hui comforted her for a while.
Jiang Zhaoyue had no choice but to lie down and close his eyes.
Concubine Hui led the palace maids out of the bedroom.
Princess Duojia hurried in and said, "Mother, my eldest brother has been poisoned and seriously injured. He may not survive."
Concubine Hui was stunned.
"What did you say?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
Princess Duojia and Concubine Hui turned around and saw Jiang Zhaoyue standing at the bedroom door with a pale face, holding onto the door frame.
"Your Highness, he, he was poisoned and seriously injured?" Jiang Zhaoyue felt that the voice was not his own.
