She stuffed a third of a plate of candied fruit into her mouth, and Jiang Fu couldn't resist spitting out the medicine she drank.

It's so bitter!

And it’s not all bitter, just this taste…

It’s really hard for her!

The sweetness of the candied fruit spreads in the mouth, barely suppressing the bitter taste.

With half a bowl left, Jiang Fu lost her determination to die generously.

"Otherwise, just drink half a bowl!" After Jiang Fu finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Yuan pitifully.

The Duke, who was already feeling distressed, said, "Fry another portion and keep it warm. Madam will bring it to you when she needs it."

"Then don't drink it yet."

What Mrs. Chen wanted to say, Zhao Yuan looked at his mother and said, "Mom, go to the Bodhisattva and pray for blessings for the smooth birth of this child."

There is no reason for a mother-in-law to pray for her daughter-in-law.

So Zhao Yuan was fighting in the name of his children.

Zhao Yuan originally didn't really believe that chanting Buddhist scriptures could really bring any blessings, but if one day someone he cares about is in danger, people will believe in all possibilities in the world.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will try to catch it.

Zhao Yuan is now the one grabbing at straws everywhere.

Mrs. Chen quickly stood up and said, "Yes, yes, I will ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless Fuler, mother and son."

Zhao Wanjun, a girl who had not yet left the court, could not help much here, so she also stood up and said, "I will also go and copy scriptures to pray for my mother."

With both of them gone, the huge bedroom became empty again.

Everyone else was waiting outside.

Zhao Yuan sat by the bed alone, hugging Jiang Fu and coaxing her, asking her if she was hungry, and asking if she was thirsty.

Jiang Fu shook her head.

Zhao Yuan thought about it and said, "Have you been to Beyond the Great Wall?"

Of course Jiang Fu has never been there.

At least she has never been to ancient times.

Jiang Fu shook her head.

Zhao Yuan said, "Let me tell you about the customs and customs beyond the Great Wall, and about my first time entering the military camp."

Jiang Fu nodded immediately. She was still curious about things in the military camp.

"The weather outside the Great Wall is severely cold, the climate is harsh, the winter is long and cold, and the rainfall is very low. It is not suitable for growing food."

"Because of this, their output is very little and their products are not rich. All they can rely on is livestock raising."

"But when winter comes, there is not enough fodder, and the livestock starves."

"So every time this time, they will think of going south to rob..."

"I was thirteen years old when I first entered the military camp."

Hearing this, Jiang Fu was slightly startled, "Thirteen?"

"Well, thirteen." Unlike Jiang Fu who was stunned, Zhao Yuan mentioned these things again with a calm demeanor, just like talking about other people's things.

"My father passed away early, and my mother and I are the only two people in the Duke's Mansion. We are orphans and widowers. If I don't stand up early, there will be no bones left for others to eat."

Jiang Fu [No wonder he always looked cold and stern before. 】

Zhao Yuan rubbed her hand and said softly, "That's why I went to the army to train at the age of thirteen."

At the age of thirteen, even if the ancients matured prematurely, Zhao Yuan suffered a lot back then.

The old Duke of Guo passed away early, and the number of direct heirs in the Duke's palace was weak, so there was no support in the court.

Therefore, even if he held the title of the heir apparent of the Duke's Palace at that time (he was under age and had not yet ascended to the title of nobility), he would still have a difficult time in the army.

No one would take a thirteen-year-old child seriously.

Although nothing will happen on the surface, secretly, some people with evil intentions still cause troubles.

After all, the world always likes to see people who are at a high place fall, and they fall to pieces and cannot be put back together.

The old Duke Guo passed away. If something happens to Zhao Yuan again, the huge Ning Guo Duke's mansion will collapse overnight and cease to exist.

"When I first went there, I suffered a lot. It was very cold outside the Great Wall, and the wind and sand were strong. The winter wind blew on people's faces like knives..." Zhao Yuan was originally the son of a noble family. He had never suffered such hardship before going to the Great Wall.

So he was really uncomfortable with it at that time.

He had been ill several times, but fortunately, the old man still had his old subordinates and took care of him secretly, so that he would not die there.

Zhao Yuan didn't need to explain the details. Jiang Fu could only imagine the suffering of a thirteen-year-old child who went on a march to fight and followed the army.

Jiang Fu leaned into Zhao Yuan's arms and wrapped her hands tightly around Zhao Yuan's waist unconsciously.

As the medicinal soup took longer to drink, Jiang Fu began to feel the dull pain no longer. In Zhao Yuan's calm voice, Jiang Fu gradually began to feel sleepy.

Zhao Yuan was talking, and she didn't know when she fell asleep in Zhao Yuan's arms.

She slept until after dinner and didn't wake up until after dinner.

Maybe the medicine had worn off, and she started to feel slight pain in her stomach again.

So people woke up.

Zhao Yuan was still sitting by the bed. When he saw her waking up, he immediately stood up and asked, "Would you like to get up and eat?"

Jiang Fu rubbed her eyes in confusion, "What time is it?"

"Noon."

"I actually fell asleep," Jiang Fu said in surprise as Zhao Yuan helped her sit up.

"Well, it should be the medicine prescribed by Dr. Gu that has taken effect."

Hearing this, Jiang Fu nodded immediately, "Yes, I was able to fall asleep in the back because I didn't feel any pain."

"But..." Jiang Fu looked down at her stomach, "It starts to hurt vaguely again."

"The medicine is still warm, should I have someone bring it to you to drink?" Zhao Yuan asked.

Jiang Fu shook her head, "The pain is still bearable, so... I won't drink for the time being."

The stomach pain is bearable for the time being, but the pain of the medicine...

Jiang Fu's lips moved, as if the bitter taste still permeated the tip of her tongue and had not dissipated.

So I won’t drink it for now.

"Then get up and eat something first."

Jiang Fu was helped up by Zhao Yuan and went outside to eat.

The table outside was filled with food, all of which Jiang Fu loved.

The pain in her stomach was within the tolerance range, so looking at those delicacies, Jiang Fu had only one thought, that she couldn't live up to it.

Looking at her appetite, Zhao Yuan felt less worried.

After dinner, Jiang Fu can go out for a walk.

Mrs. Chen and Zhao Wanjun had been praying devoutly in the Buddhist hall and asked someone to come over and check on the situation.

Knowing that Jiang Fu had eaten a lot for lunch and could still run around in the yard after eating, Mrs. Chen called out to the Buddha for blessing. She and Zhao Wanjun, one was knocking on the wooden fish more vigorously, and the other was copying scriptures more vigorously.

Just like that, in the evening, after the New Year, the daylight hours gradually became longer. It was no longer like the time before the year before, when it was basically dark at five o'clock.

On the day after the New Year, in the evening, the sky is still very bright, and the red clouds on the sky are also very beautiful.

Jiang Fu looked at the beautiful Yunxia and was telling Zhao Yuan that the weather should be good tomorrow. Her stomach, which had only been aching faintly before, suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if someone had grabbed her lower abdomen and rubbed it hard. .

Jiang Fu bent over suddenly in pain, her face wrinkled together.

Zhao Yuan was standing next to her. Seeing this, he quickly hugged her and said, "Call Doctor Gu."

As he spoke, he picked up the person and turned around to go back to the house.
