The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

In March, the valley is full of peach blossoms.

Chu Jian was carried outside to bask in the sun, and Xiao Ju brought a dish of last year's pickled green plums. They were so sour that they were impossible to eat, but Chu Jian had been suffering from severe morning sickness in the past few days and wanted to eat something sour.

Xiaoju looked about three or four years old, and gently pinched a green plum into her hand. "Sister Chu, my mother said you will give birth to a little brother!"

"Really?" Chu Jian smiled awkwardly. Although it had been several days, she still hadn't digested the fact that she was pregnant.

"Yes, Sister Chu, believe me, my mother has never made a mistake."

"Okay, when Sister Chu gives birth to a little brother, you will play with him, okay?"

Fuso sat aside and pulled Xiaoju over. The little girl liked Chujian very much and would rub against her arms without noticing. It was not because she was afraid of hurting the baby in her belly, but mainly because Chujian's back injury had been torn twice in the past few days because of Xiaoju.

"Xiao Ju, go pick peach blossoms for Sister Chu, go ahead."

"Okay!" The child who received the order was very excited and went to the peach forest.

When I first saw it, I could probably see a vague shadow smiling in that direction.

Fuso kept staring at her, his eyes were still shining even without focus, and his sweet smile was very attractive.

She seemed very friendly and could chat with everyone who greeted her;

She was also very stoic. She didn't say a word even though she was covered in wounds and in so much pain that tears came out.

She was still very calm, even though her legs were broken and she was blind, she could still calmly prescribe medicine for herself based on other people's descriptions;

She is also very wary, and so far no identity information has been obtained from her. I don't know who she is, although I have had some suspicions.

"Why are you looking at me?" Chu Jian interrupted his thoughts.

"How do you know I'm watching you?"

"I just thought it was a possibility, but now it's confirmed." Chu Jian smiled and turned his head to face him. "Studies have shown that when opposite sexes are together without any distractions, if there is no sound, there is an 80% chance that one person is looking at the other, and the remaining 20% ​​is staring at each other."

"Where is this research from? I've never heard of it." Fuso smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip. Alas, he was still trying to trick her into talking, but he got tricked first.

"It's not important. What's important is that it's usually pretty accurate. So, Fuso, why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing, I was just observing your eyes, wondering how good they are." Fuso took another sip of tea, he wouldn't say he was attracted to her eyes.

"You can already see vague shadows and know that something is moving ahead. In a few days, you will be able to eat and drink by yourself." Chu Jian smiled, "Thank you for your hard work these days. In the future..."

"You must repay me well in the future. I've given it all. If it's because of you that I can't find a wife, you have to take half the responsibility." Fuso interrupted her with a smile. She said this kind of thing every day.

"I can't take this responsibility, and I didn't agree to you pretending to be my husband. My husband has a hot temper. If he finds out, he won't forgive you. You'd better not mention this matter when you go out."

"I didn't think it through. I blurted out when I heard you were pregnant. But we don't look alike at all, so we can't pretend to be siblings. If we were to be friends, I was afraid they would misunderstand and refuse to treat us. So we just pretended to be a couple. It would save us a lot of trouble and rumors, and it would also give us a safe identity."

"It doesn't matter to me. My husband won't blame me no matter what. I just want to remind you that he has a very bad temper. If he finds out, you should pay attention to your safety."

"Okay, I will definitely pay attention." Fuso laughed, "I hope he can be more broad-minded and not hold it against me for saving his wife and children."

“It’s hard to say.” Chu Jian also turned around with a smile, but the smile gradually faded.

These past two days, she has been thinking about the news she heard in Qingshui Town. Could it be that Jing Muyang really believed that she was dead? Was he really crazy? Did he cause unrest in the court? If so many princes were targeting him, wouldn't he have enemies everywhere?

Chu Jian frowned, "Fusang, why haven't your people come yet?"

"I don't know." Fusang also frowned. Chi Mei and Chi Yun didn't come over, so it seemed very troublesome.

"Will..."

"It shouldn't be. As for the 10 or 20 people at that time, they still have the ability to protect themselves and escape. The only thing they are afraid of is encountering a large group of assassins. Moreover, this is Lingyin Country. They can easily be regarded as spies of the enemy country and hunted down by the army."

"Fusang, there is something I don't understand, and I don't know if I should ask or not."

"You ask."

"I heard that Lingyin and Nanbang have always been on good terms. Why did something unexpected happen more than 20 years ago and a war broke out, and it even reached the point of a life-and-death struggle?"

"Because the emperor of Lingyin Kingdom robbed the queen of Nanbang, who is your late queen!" Fusang said this while gritting his teeth.

"No way, our emperor and the late queen had a very good relationship. Besides, Lingyin Kingdom is not without women. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to Nanbang to snatch your emperor's women." Chu Jian didn't believe it at all. "And I have never heard of this in Lingyin Kingdom. Fusang, could it be that someone deliberately fabricated this to provoke a war between the two countries?"

"This is true, but it was not reported back then."

"If it's not spread, it's even less credible. Look at you, you told me when I asked you a question. And, Fusang, how did you know about something that hasn't been spread? Are you a royal relative?"

"You..." Fusang closed his mouth, and after a moment he slowly said, "There is such a legend in Jinling City. When the Emperor of Lingyin Kingdom was inspecting the country and came to Nan'an, he met the Emperor of Nanbang who was visiting incognito at Qingshui Ferry. He immediately fell in love with the Empress who was with him, and snatched her away. He also beat the Emperor of Nanbang like a thief and threw him into the wild.

Later, the Emperor of Nanbang led his army north and launched a war, but the Emperor of Lingyin refused to admit it and refused to release our Queen. He even asked her to say that they were truly in love. The Emperor of Nanbang was depressed and defeated. A few years later, he heard that our Queen had been killed. He was hit hard again and started to take endless revenge on Lingyin. "

"This sounds like a story. How could two emperors meet each other while they were inspecting incognito in their own territories? And they didn't even know each other? How is it possible? The ascension of a new emperor would be announced to the world, and there would be a portrait of the new emperor on the imperial list. The monarchs of neighboring countries would have seen the portrait even if they had never seen the real person."

Chu Jian waved her hands. She didn't believe it at all, even though the portrait might not look like him at all.

"You are right. So why did the Emperor of Lingyin Kingdom want to seize the Empress when he knew that the Emperor was Nanbang?"

"Fusang, do you think it's possible? He is the king of a country. He has learned all the etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame. He has been virtuous since he ascended the throne. He is a pretty good emperor. Not to mention that he has to consider the country and the people. He is a king. Would he not know the consequences of doing this? Think about it from his perspective. If it were you, would you steal the wife of another emperor?"

“…” Fuso did not respond.
