Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Xu Yixing was deeply hurt by his own interpretation. It was not that he was nostalgic for life in the capital, but he suddenly missed Lu Anyuan. He didn’t know whether he had married a new concubine or whether he was reviewing memorials while a beautiful woman was by his side. . .

Bah! Why think about these things? Even if he drags 300 concubines to have fun now, what does it have to do with you? It's still your own choice!

"You're right, they asked for it. You go out first, I'll get some sleep."

Jun He put on her coat and left to go back to the west room. During the past month, she originally thought that the two people in this courtyard were a couple, but now it seems that they are obviously not. One is a wife who is about to give birth, and the other looks a bit like the housekeeper of those wealthy families. Her little head would always speculate, could this be the mistress of some high official in Miaozhou City?

But who cares? She can love whoever she wants. She is now a slave in this family. She has no worries about food and drink, and she can even light a charcoal fire. Her life is better than that of her own family with their cruel parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. It feels so good!

But today, he had just fallen asleep when he heard a commotion outside. When Jun He got up, dressed and went out to see, his wife was leaning against the door frame, whispering something with the housekeeper named Wu Zi.

"Madam! It seems, it seems that the Hu people are attacking the city!" Jun He was a native of Miaozhou. She was very familiar with the sounds of fire and large troops passing by. She moved tremblingly from the west room to the door of the main house.

"Ah, I heard it. It's okay. We are at the east gate. Even if the Hu people attack, they will attack the north gate first. This must be the sound of the garrison guards in the city sending reinforcements there. Don't be afraid." Xu Yixing spoke slowly and firmly. Jun He was comforted by this statement and the fear in his heart was reduced a lot.

"But what should we do if the Hu people really come and kill us?" Jun He's mind is now full of what her parents once said. Those Hu people kill people without blinking an eye. They will chop anyone they see when they enter the city. She is terrified.

"Since the late emperor pacified the surrounding areas, although Daxia has been at war with the Hu people, the Hu people have never set foot in our Daxia city. Don't worry, they can't break in. If you don't believe me, you can ask your parents. They probably haven't seen the Hu people kill people."

Jun He nodded. These stories were told by her grandfather to her father, and then to herself. In all these years in Miaozhou, she had indeed never seen any critical moment of the city being broken.

"Then, Madam, are you not afraid?"

"What is there to be afraid of? It must be because of the heavy snow this year that the Hu people have nothing to eat, so they invaded our state capital. They will be repelled soon, don't worry."

"Okay..." After hearing what his wife said, Jun He felt much more at ease and went back to the west room to sleep in the night wind.

Xu Yixing waited until she left before asking Ying Wu, "Do you know who is the current general stationed in Miaozhou?"

"It was Ren Shaozhou. The late emperor appointed him to replace the general who defended the city after the rebellion in the northern border. I just don't know the details."

"Ren Shaozhou..." Xu Yixing had heard of this name. After Lu Anyuan became the crown prince, he had frequent exchanges with officials from all over the country. He had read all those letters. He only remembered that he seemed to admire this person. He thought he was a capable person. "Go to sleep first. The Hu people are only good at robbing houses. They are far from being good at attacking cities."

Ying Wu looked at Xu Yixing's belly with great concern. He was originally worried that his master might be frightened and have a miscarriage, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.

As Xu Yixing had expected, the attack was abandoned after only three days. Even before the Miaozhou garrison sent border troops out of the city to clear up the rebellion, these people ran back to the grassland on their own.

In mid-September, Miaozhou seemed to have returned to peace, and the earlier war seemed to have been forgotten. Yingwu went around the city every day, buying fresh food and asking for news. But on this day, he brought back an unusual piece of news.

"Master, the emperor wants to lead the army in person."

"Where to fight?" Xu Yixing widened her eyes and sat up from the kang. Her mind was a little confused. Why was there another war?

"Conquer those barbarians!"

"What! But didn't those barbarians just attack on a small scale? Why did they need to lead the army in person? Did Lu Anyuan feel that he had just ascended the throne and couldn't control the people, so he had to lead the army to convince everyone?"

Ying Wu didn't know how to answer this. He was not knowledgeable in military affairs, but he could see that those Hu people were just here to take advantage of the situation and were not a threat at all. It was really not worth it for him to lead the army in person to fight against them.

"Where did you get your information? Is it accurate?"

"It was posted on the wall of Miaozhou. The emperor is personally leading the army, and the garrison troops are spreading the message everywhere to boost the morale of the people."

"It can't be a trick..." Xu Yixing shook his head. What on earth was Lu Anyuan going to do?

"If Your Majesty wants to lead the troops here, it will take at least 15 days or at most a month. What should we do?"

"Tsk!" Xu Yixing spat reluctantly. Lu Anyuan really knew how to pick the time. She was due to give birth in half a month. If he came at this time, the Imperial Guards would definitely conduct a comprehensive investigation of suspicious elements in Miaozhou. What if it was Ada's group of people who had seen him before? Then his disguise would be useless.

"You, go find Gao Yao and ask her if she has any news about my brother. Also, ask her if she knows of any place in Miaozhou where we can hide safely for a few days. I don't believe that I have gone through so many storms, but I will fail at this moment!"

Ying Wu complained in his heart: You have never experienced any storms... "Okay, I will go there right away. I have already informed the clinic across the street. If you feel unwell these days, they will have midwives and doctors come over at any time."

"I know. Go ahead. Jun He is at home anyway."

As soon as Ying Wu left, Xu Yixing slowly sat up with the help of the cabinet beside the bed. She really wanted to walk around, but the weather was cold and her feet were so swollen that she couldn't wear shoes. She decided not to bother. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Whether this happened before or after Lu Anyuan came, the inspection for leaving the city must have been very strict. She had to hide until he finished the battle and returned to the capital, and then she could find a way to escape.

Pregnant women don't tend to think too much, and after being so worried, she suddenly felt something was wrong with her body. When she lifted the quilt, she found that her pants were wet.

"Jun He! Jun He! Go find a midwife. I'm afraid I'm about to give birth!"

Junhe was in the kitchen preparing the meat that the housekeeper had just bought. When he heard the noise, he quickly ran to the main room. When he saw his wife sweating profusely, he immediately ran against the wind to call for help.

As soon as Xu Yixing's water broke, she felt severe pain and could only bite her handkerchief hard to prevent herself from fainting from the pain or biting her tongue. Thank God, after knowing the methods of Grandma He to harm people, she read a lot of maintenance methods for pregnant women. Now, although there is no one around, she can rely on herself!
