Chapter 85 Pregnancy
Gu Chengze has been on the front line recently. He saw Li Zheng's letter back when Qin You went back to discuss things. However, he felt relieved to see her back. Although the city in the King of Qi's territory was occupied, it has not been cleaned up yet. It is not convenient to pick her up now, and he doesn't know how she is doing.
Li Zheng was lounging on a recliner, enjoying the cool breeze. Lately, she hadn't figured out why she couldn't get excited about anything. Looking at the scorching sun, she figured it might be the heat. Well, she'd decided to have some iced drinks tonight, and had A-Yue go buy some from the back street. The iced drinks there were so good, she couldn't even make them. Thinking about it, she wondered if the restaurant should start serving cold noodles and cold noodles. With the heat out, she figured a lot of people would want them.
I did what I said and called Xiao Zi over to talk to her. Xiao Zi's cooking skills have been getting better and better recently. As long as I describe the recipe to her, she can make it almost exactly like what I want. Oh, I am really getting lazier.
A Yue felt increasingly bored as he watched his wife lying on the recliner.
After listening to Li Zheng's description and methods, Xiao Zi went into the kitchen. She liked to stay in the kitchen, where no one cared about her. She could stay alone quietly doing her own things, and then feel the satisfaction of seeing the food she cooked being eaten up.
Li Zheng was very happy to eat the cold noodles tonight. It was really delicious. She should have added a roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo) to make it even better! Bao Ge'er also enjoyed the meal.
Lying in bed at night, I couldn't fall asleep. I felt very irritable. Looking at the empty seat next to me, I felt a sense of loss. I didn't know when he would come back. Although I knew in my heart that he wouldn't come back in the near future, does this count as living apart?
"Pah." A small, unidentified sound was heard, and she turned around to see a figure by the window. Who was it? A-Yue? Not like it! It should be a man. What was going on? Did she offend someone? It didn't seem like anyone. Could it be someone from Gu Chengze's side? No, that wasn't right. Gu Chengze didn't even know he was still alive!
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind within a second. However, she still had to lie still and pay attention to the situation outside. She couldn't act rashly at this moment.
Two men in black outside took out a stick of cigarette from their arms, looked at each other, poked a hole in the window paper, saw the person lying on the bed through the hole, took out a fire starter, lit the incense, and put it in through the hole. After a quarter of an hour, the two men tiptoed, opened the door with a knife, and rushed in.
The person in front saw that the bed was empty. What happened? Did the second person see it wrong? He pulled the second person next to him and said, "There's no one on the bed." The second person turned around and saw that it was indeed empty. Both of them were shocked and cold sweats broke out on their backs.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Li Zheng appeared behind them at some point, staring at them coldly.
When the man in black saw that she had actually come up behind them without them noticing, he knew that this person was not as simple as she seemed. He warned the second brother, "Be careful, she is not simple."
Li Zheng couldn't help but smile as she saw the two men holding their hands in front of them in a protective position. Seeing this, the two men in black stepped forward and drew their swords. But before they could draw their swords, they were knocked unconscious by two slaps from Li Zheng. Looking at the two men lying on the ground, she thought to herself, "How can they withstand such a blow?"
The two men in black were tied up by Li Zheng. She looked at the teapot on the table and took it to pour water on them. "Tell me, who sent you here?" Seeing that the two men didn't say a word, she knew that she couldn't get anything out of the interrogation. But it didn't matter. She had so many strange medicines, so she could try them one by one.
"Madam, what's wrong? Why is the light on your side on?" She got up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the bathroom, but she saw that the light on Madam's side was still on.
Li Zheng then remembered that Ayue lived next door to her. However, she hadn't been woken up by the loud noise just now, so why was he awake now? On second thought, she opened the door and let Ayue in.
As soon as Ayue came in and saw the two men, he was a little frightened, "Husband, Madam! This is..."
Li Zheng rushed forward and covered her mouth with her hand, "Shh, keep it down." She then gestured outside so as not to wake anyone else. She only let go when A-Yue nodded. She leaned forward and said something to her, and A-Yue's face gradually brightened up, finally showing a wicked smile.
"Don't worry, ma'am, leave this matter to me." The two men in black suddenly felt a little cold for some reason after hearing this.
…
"Madam, please ask. They said they were sent by someone, but the person was masked and they didn't know who it was. But I asked them where they were from, and they said they were from the capital." Her tone became heavy again when she said the last sentence.
"Okay, I understand. You should go back to sleep as well. When it's daybreak, I'll hand them over to Guard Yang."
"Yes." After watching A-Yue leave and close the door, Li Zheng lay on the bed and thought to herself, "They came from Beijing to kill me. Is there anything about me that's worth killing me?" Could it be...? It seems this is the only possibility. It seems my antidote is blocking their way.
The next morning, A Yue told Guard Yang what happened last night and then hurried over to apologize to Li Zheng, "I failed to supervise properly. Please punish me, Madam."
Li Zheng saw Guard Yang kneeling on the ground. Although it was not her fault, it was indeed his fault for not keeping a good watch on him. She thought about giving him a beating with a stick.
These past few days, Li Zheng could fall asleep even when sitting. She would even sleep as usual, even if she had enough sleep. She would even fall asleep almost every day. Sometimes, she would even fall asleep while Bao Ge'er was talking to her. A Yue, watching from the side, felt more and more that she needed to see a doctor. Li Zheng agreed after thinking about it, as she couldn't take a pulse and didn't know what the problem was.
A-Yue found a doctor and saw him put his fingers on her wrist, stroking her beard and feeling her pulse, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing. Seeing this, A-Yue was very anxious, thinking, "Just tell me what it is, why are you so silent?"
Finally, the doctor spoke, "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam, this is a slippery pulse." Li Zheng was stunned when she heard this. This is it.
A Yue reacted immediately and quickly took out a red envelope for the doctor, "Thank you, doctor, you can also share in the good luck."
The doctor accepted it without hesitation. It was wedding money, so it was fine. Moreover, seeing the money, he spoke kindly as if it was free. Most importantly, A Yue agreed and sent the doctor away. Only Li Zheng was still immersed in disbelief.
It's already here? So fast! Before she could react, it was already here. She reached out and touched her belly, but it was still flat, and she couldn't feel the seed at all.
When Ayue came back, he pulled Li Zheng aside and said, "Madam, this is a great event. Do you want to write a letter to the master?"
Li Zheng thought about it and decided not to write it for now. He was still fighting and it would not be good to distract him.
