Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 100

From the confessions forced from the captured bandits, we learned that they knew that the Lingchuan Gu family was related to the royal family, and that the one who returned to Lingchuan to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival was the only son of the Zhongyi Marquis's Mansion.

The current Queen is the aunt of the Marquis Zhongyi's son, and the Crown Prince is his cousin.

In the past few years, under the pressure of the imperial court's anti-bandit campaign, they have been hiding from one hilltop to another, and this has happened time and again. They feel depressed and extremely cowardly.

Now that Zheng Zhijing, who tipped off them, has been captured, the imperial court will certainly send more people to suppress the bandits in the future. Without someone to tip them off, they will probably be in great danger in the future.

After the village chief learned of the noble status of the eldest son of the Gu family, he thought about it again and again and came up with the idea of ​​capturing him alive and using it to threaten the court to negotiate terms.

The condition was that the hill where they were located would be allocated to them, and no officers or soldiers were allowed to enter.

After coming up with the idea, their stronghold gathered nine other strongholds and gathered a thousand people to capture the prince of the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji sneered. How could the imperial court be threatened or controlled by a mob of bandits like them?

They are too fanciful.

Thinking that they might not give up so easily, and were probably still waiting in the dark for an opportunity to strike, Li Ji thought that if he left Gu Shixing and his men at the post station, the danger would be unpredictable. After thinking about it, he ordered his men to set up camp outside the post station and rest for two days.

The sky gradually darkened and the sound of painful moans could be heard rising and falling from the small hall of the post station.

Su Yun sat beside the bed and watched over Gu Shixing. The maids advised her to take a rest and let them watch over her, but she was unwilling to do so.

Xie Yiran learned that Su Yun had not had a drop of water, let alone a grain of rice, since he entered the post station, so he ordered someone to stew a poisonous soup.

After coaxing her daughter to sleep, the one-month-old baby just woke up, so she simply carried her to see Su Yun.

Xie Yiran entered the room and advised gently, "Even if Madam Gu has no appetite, drink some soup to warm yourself up first."

Su Yun had no appetite at all, but did not refuse her kindness. After thanking her, he drank the stew.

He put down the soup bowl, looked at the child in Princess Jing's arms, and asked in a low voice: "Is it a boy or a girl?"

When Su Yun came to Lingchuan, Xie Yiran had not yet given birth, so she didn't know the gender of the child.

Xie Yiran looked at the child in her arms with a demure expression and said softly, "It's a little boy, nicknamed Kang'er. I hope he will always be healthy."

After saying that, he carried her to Su Yun and gave her a closer look.

Su Yun glanced at the rosy-white baby in the swaddling clothes and said apologetically, "The situation is special this time, so I didn't prepare any gifts."

Xie Yiran: "No need to prepare gifts. Madam Gu is also Kang'er's benefactor. If it weren't for Madam Gu, I'm afraid Kang'er might not have been born safely."

Su Yun looked at the little boy, gently stroked his soft little face, and said softly: "I hope he can always be healthy and safe."

Xie Yiran smiled faintly and then comforted her: "Master Gu is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him, Madam Gu, don't worry too much."

Su Yun looked back at Gu Shixing, who was still unconscious on the bed, and nodded gently.

Xie Yiran had just said a few words of comfort when there was a knock on the slightly open door.

When they heard the sound, they looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Ji holding the little princess who was rubbing her eyes outside the door.

Li Ji pushed the door slightly open.

The little princess looked into the room and said in a soft voice: "Mother..."

Li Ji said, "Ruo'er just woke up and couldn't see you, so she wanted to see you."

Xie Yiran walked forward, reached out and touched her daughter's head, then turned to look at Su Yun: "Madam Gu, you should have a good rest and don't think too much."

Su Yun nodded, watched them leave, and then closed the door.

He turned around and walked back to the bed, sat at the head of the bed, looked at the sleeping Gu Shixing, and whispered: "In this life, our grudge with King Jing has been settled."

Xie Yiran returned to the room, put his son on the bed, and then picked up his daughter.

She took her daughter from Li Ji's arms without saying a word, then turned and walked to the bed, put her in the bed, and she slept between the two children.

The little princess sat up, looked at her father outside the bed and the bedding on the floor, and asked in a low voice: "Daddy, why don't you come up to sleep?"

Xie Yiran said to her softly, "The bed is too small. If Daddy comes up, Ruo'er will have to go down to sleep. Do you want to go down to sleep?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ruo'er hesitated for a moment, but finally lay back in her mother's fragrant arms and said in a very low voice, "I want to sleep with mommy, and daddy will sleep on the floor."

There were many injured people and the post station was small. Although the couple were in name only, Xie Yiran would still be kind to them in front of their children and outsiders.

Moreover, since the post station is small and there are many injured people, it is not suitable to sleep in separate rooms.

Li Ji looked at the mother and her two children and sighed secretly, but he felt no sleep at all.

*

The post station was not suitable for recuperation, so after two days of rest, Li Ji asked two hundred people to escort them to the nearest city and wait for the Jindu Marquis' Mansion to send someone to pick them up.

Otherwise, I don’t know if I will be ambushed on the way back.

Because of Gu Shixing's incident, Li Ji became extra cautious and sent a lot of additional people to protect the safety of his wife and daughter.

After all, in the eyes of the bandits, they, as the emperor's direct family members, may be more valuable than Gu Shixing and others.

After Su Yun and his party left the post station, they returned to the Marquis' Mansion half a month later, and it was Marquis Gu who came to pick them up in person.

When they returned to Jindu, many people were waiting outside the Marquis' Mansion. In addition to the Marquis' family members, Su Changqing, who was on good terms with Gu Shixing, was also there, and even the Crown Prince was waiting outside.

The carriage stopped outside the mansion. Su Yun got off the carriage and saw her familiar family, her eyes slightly red.

Compared with more than two months ago, the beautiful woman looked much more haggard and sad.

Mrs. Gu's eyes also turned red. She walked up to her, hugged her, and patted her on the back: "Thank you for your hard work, child."

There was a hint of depression in Mrs. Gu's tone.

The tense mood of the past few days was instantly broken by the words of the mother-in-law, and her voice choked with sobs: "Mother, my husband..."

"I know, it will be fine." Mrs. Gu said softly.

She felt very uncomfortable deep down, but over the past half month, she had gradually calmed down, at least on the surface.

When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, I still cry sadly, and I pray to the Buddha almost all day long.

Someone brought a stretcher and carefully lifted the still unconscious Gu Shixing out of the carriage and gently placed him on the stretcher.

Gu Shixing asked Su Yun to dress up very well. She was wearing a clean and tidy moon-white straight-strap robe, her hair was combed meticulously, and her face was also clean and tidy.

Although his eyes were closed, his face was still rosy. If you didn't look at the scars under his clothes, you might think he was just sleeping.

But Su Yun knew it best. He had not woken up for half a month. The doctor said that he was in good health and had no head injuries, so he would recover from this serious injury as long as he woke up and rested for a period of time.

But for some reason, half a month has passed, and there is still no sign of waking up.

Gu Shixing was sent back to Qinglan Garden, and the prince asked the imperial physician who left the palace with him to take his pulse.

After a while, even the skilled imperial physician frowned.

He put away his hand, stood up, turned around and bowed to the Crown Prince and Gu Hou, saying: "Master Gu's pulse is stable, and there is no wound on his head. Logically, he should have woken up, but he hasn't woken up yet. The symptoms are somewhat similar to..."

There was a brief pause, and his face looked somewhat embarrassed.

Lord Gu said in a deep voice: "What does it look like? The imperial physician said it directly."

The imperial physician sighed, "It is recorded in medical books that some people who are seriously injured in the head or neck will fall into a coma. Some will wake up after a month, some after a year, and some will not wake up until... It's like their souls have left their bodies. If they want to wake up, it's not enough to rely on medicine alone. It also depends on the will of the prince."

After hearing the imperial physician's words, everyone's expressions became solemn at the same time.

Although Su Yun had already guessed this, when he heard the imperial physician say this today, he still felt like he was struck by lightning, and his heart sank to the bottom.

The three souls and six spirits left the body...

Others might not understand, but what was there that she didn't understand?

Could he really have gone back?

If he really goes back, then what about the him who originally existed in this life?

If Gu Shixing really went back to his previous life, what about her?

If nothing had happened between them in the beginning, she wouldn't have cared. But now, after they had opened their hearts to each other for two years and gradually developed deep feelings for each other, how could she accept the sudden separation?

Su Yun looked at Gu Shixing lying on the bed, her mind was blank, her face was ashen, and her eyes were dazed and confused.

She felt dizzy and her body swayed. She closed her eyes and fell to the side. Mrs. Gu beside her quickly caught her.

When Su Yun woke up, her mother-in-law, sister-in-law Shen, and two sisters-in-law were all by her bedside.

Su Yun held her forehead and sat up, and Mrs. Gu hurried to help her.

After sitting up, Su Yun, with a pale face, asked: "What's wrong with me?"

Shen said, "Ayun, you are more than a month pregnant."

When Su Yun heard what his sister-in-law said, he was stunned.

Seeing her in a trance, Shen said, "The imperial physician said that you suffered a shock, and you haven't been resting properly and eating properly in recent days, so you fainted."

Su Yun slowly came back to her senses, lowered her head silently, and looked at her belly which had not changed at all with mixed feelings.

Calculating the time, she must have gotten pregnant when she and Gu Shixing were having an affair in Lingchuan.

She suddenly felt that God was playing a joke on her.

Gu Shixing's current condition is unclear, and she is pregnant at this critical juncture. She is not happy at all.

Madam Gu consoled him: "Ayun, Xing'er is determined, he will wake up soon. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself and think more about the baby in your belly."

Su Yun was silent for a long while before he nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to be quiet for a while."

Madam Gu and Shen looked at each other, stood up, and said softly, "Then you should have a good rest. Put aside the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion for now and take care of yourself first."

After giving the instructions, Mrs. Gu, her two daughters, and Shen left the house.

Su Yun sat on the bed for a long time before she threw back the quilt, got out of bed and left the room.

When the maid outside saw her coming out, she hurriedly advised her to go back to the room and lie down.

Su Yun said: "I'll go back to the main house."

The maid had no choice but to help her back to the main house.

Su Yun dismissed the maid from the room. She walked to the bedside and gently stroked Gu Shixing's calm face.

After a moment, she withdrew her hand, got on the bed, lay down beside him, and rested her head lightly on his heart.

She whispered to him, "Husband, have you returned to your previous life?"

"Even if you go back, please come back to this life for me and the child in my belly, okay?"

"I don't want to go back to my previous life. Can you come back to find me, okay... or not?" At the end of the words, his voice gradually choked up.

Tears fell and wet Gu Shixing's clothes.

Now her life is very happy. Her biological mother lives a stable life, and she is pregnant with another child.

How could she bear to give up all these and go back to that place where life was hard, her mother was crazy, and they had no children?
