With a slightly surprised look on his face, he folded his fingers, put his hands on his knees, and asked, "Why?"

I cleared my throat, unable to give a proper reason.

He pretended that I was still angry, put his arms around my waist and leaned over to kiss me, opened my teeth and gently licked and sucked.Impatient, I lightly bit the tip of his tongue.He let go of me with a "tsk" sound as a warning, and I smiled maliciously: "The general doesn't like it?"

"Little bastard." He licked his lips and glared at me.

I sincerely said to him again: "General, Guotai has always disliked me, can I not go back? The six counties are more than thousands of miles wide, can't I just find a place to settle in the future?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay...let's talk about it when the child is older."

I gave a soft "hmm", and he called the maid to help me back to my room to rest.

The reason for the compromise is firstly my child, and secondly, he suffered a lot for me this time, which is enough to offset the mistakes he made before.It's a pity he didn't realize his mistake at all.

Two days later, Sun Quan's body recovered almost. At this time, two doctors from Jingkou also arrived. They asked for Sun Quan's pulse one after another, and they all said that there was no problem. Naturally, they also showed me the pulse, saying that the fetus was stable. , and I am [-]% sure that I am pregnant with a boy.

Sun Quan was overjoyed and laughed several times.

Is the son that important?I thought sourly.If I'm pregnant with a girl, I don't know how he will treat me.

For him, I have never been a special existence: I am not gentle, nor have a good demeanor, let alone manage affairs for him in a smooth manner.The only advantage is probably an excellent face, and maybe there is a small reason not to seek the glory and title of the family because of favor, and not to be involved in political affairs.

Sometimes I even doubt that he treats me like a man treats a woman, or does he treat me like an adult treats a child?

After waking up from the afternoon nap, I saw him propping his arms on the side of the desk, and he was about to fall asleep. I said softly, "Go and lie on the bed for a while?"

Because he was disturbed, his eyes were sleepy: "Are you up?"

Although I rejected my suggestion, both of them were drowsy, chatting with each other, until the maid came to report to Sun Quan, saying that Shen Yu asked to see him.

The master and the servant talked for a long time in the corridor, and I leaned lazily by the door, looking bored, but in fact, everything that the two of them said fell into my ears.

Gongsun Shao disappeared.This thing has happened for four days.At first, I thought he followed my advice and went away to avoid the limelight. I never thought that his favorite jade flute was found by the maid and dropped outside the bedroom.

Although it is not yet possible to determine whether he is in danger, I had a vague premonition and anxiously begged Sun Quan to send someone to search for him. A few days passed, but there was no news.

If I didn't believe that his force is enough to protect himself, I began to think that he was hacked to death by Sun Quan and thrown into the mountain stream to feed the wild dogs.I also warned Gongsun Shao earlier that he and I were so close that I would rely on the child in my womb to be fine, and the suspicion on him must not be cleared away, at least when Sun Quan came over, he should go out for a while. avoid.

Gongsun Shao smiled brightly and refused straight away. He said that no one who could catch him would appear on the south bank of the river.

I asked Sun Quan about the whereabouts of Gongsun Shao, and General Sun said coldly: "Whether this guard is found or not, he will notify me immediately."As for the lack of guards around me, he has already made arrangements.

I began to suspect that because of this rebellion, Sun Quan quietly discarded a card in my hand.Poor Dr. Lu Cuilu, who has placed all his heart and soul on him, is so heartbroken that he no longer has the heart to take care of my stomach.

Later, I told Sun Quan about it emphatically, and he said regretfully, "It's a pity that Lu Cui and your guard are very suitable."

After this incident, I never saw Laiyan again, and once pretended not to mention him. At that time, Sun Quan was still a frightened bird, and he was very sensitive to all affairs in the army. He said coldly: "I know this young man is a Zuo is your nephew, but his main identity now is a soldier in our battalion. You should not ask about these matters."

I obediently obliged.

That night when Hu Zhu was resting with me, she quietly asked me why I described the story of Gongsun Shao and Lu Cui with exaggeration.

"Captain Zhou is gone. If I want to go back to General Sun, the only thing I can rely on is his affection for me. If there are any rumors between me and other men, wouldn't it be courting death—even if I explain it to him as Expedient measures are not acceptable. So I desperately exaggerated the matter of those two people to the general, in order to confuse the view and prove that I have nothing to do with Shao."

She had a sad face: "Miss, is a woman's life really that hard?"

"No life!" I said firmly, "The future is in my hands, as long as you are strong enough. Pearl, I assure you, Miss will let you marry a good man."

She didn't turn her head away shyly like in the past, but just grabbed my hand and said softly: "Miss, I believe in you. But I hope you don't push yourself too hard."

"I won't, and I won't in the future."

I didn't tell her, maybe I don't have many days left.

The day of childbirth came suddenly.At the end of the first month, Sun Quan wants to return to Jingkou first. After all, he has been away for too long. Not only him, but even me are worried about the situation in the power center.

Since he was just nine months pregnant, he promised to return within half a month.

I don't know what point in this vulgar world attracted my curious baby. On the morning of February [-], when the dragon raised its head, I started to have a stomachache just after breakfast, and everyone inside and outside the yard was in a hurry.

There were several doctors invited by the Sun family, not to mention Wen Po and the like, and a room full of people surrounded me.And I lay on my back on the bed, curled up and howled wildly in pain.

I kept thinking: my mother brought me into the world through this terrible ceremony, and now I will bring my child into the world through the same ceremony.

I knew very well that this child would torture me until I was dying, so I stretched out my hand over and over again to determine the position of the dagger under my pillow, closed my eyes and recalled the details of the caesarean section countless times.

In the evening, the amniotic fluid broke, but the baby was not born smoothly.I chewed up the old ginseng and swallowed it desperately so as not to faint from the excessive pain.

The light of the day exited the inner room, and the wind of the night invaded the bloody bed. The woman in charge of the delivery left the bedroom stiffly holding the blood-stained gauze.The oil lamp went out.

The banshee I met at Mirror Lake a month ago slipped into the delivery room.She was floating on a crock of water at the foot of the bed, twisting her skeleton as best she could, smiling almost flatteringly: "Oh, today I'm here to collect my reward."

"Isn't the flesh and blood of those gangsters enough for you to chew?" I asked sharply.

"It's just some rotten untouchables, the lady really thinks I'm so easy to dismiss?" She smiled coquettishly.

I realize it's not good, and that's why I don't want to do business with them... A group of monsters with no bottom line!

She greedily stared at my swollen abdomen, dripping green saliva from her mouth on the ground, and then whistled white smoke.

How could she, a little water demon, get in here?I drew out the dagger and pointed it at her, but she gave a "sneer" smile: "Come on, it's very unlucky for the lady to use a knife in the delivery room. Come, my concubine is here to help you."

She twisted her body and floated closer, knocked my dagger off with a wave of her finger, stretched out her hand to peel off my single clothes, and put her knuckles on my shoulder.

At this moment, those horrible bright blue lines on my body stretched from the lower abdomen to the thighs, and the arms that turned into snakes were densely covered with the arms between the raised elbows.

"Look at you, tsk tsk, you have the same body as ours, but you still pretend to be a mortal and hide in the world. Aren't you afraid that Taoist priests will take you in?"

"What, what are you talking about?" The severe pain paralyzed my brain, and my consciousness began to blur.

"But it's okay, where can I find a womb with a body like yours conceived together with mortals? Hey, I have been waiting for 30 years for good luck...hehe." She finally stretched out her hand to me between the legs.

Childbirth will cause the fetus to overflow with dragon energy, at this time both the mother and the offspring are the most vulnerable existence.With the last of my strength, I moved my body away and pulled the rope bell beside the bed.

She hesitated for a while, and then said ferociously: "A small ringing bell can stop me! Come here!"

This is not true.As soon as I arrived at Dongshan, I surveyed the terrain, and after discovering the copper bell on the trestle bridge, I realized that there was a little demon in the bottom of the water.Just in case, I bought a dozen copper bells from the passing Taoist priests and distributed them to everyone to hang around the mansion to ward off evil spirits.If it weren't for human assistance, she would never have entered my bedroom today!

Enduring the pain of tearing, I took out "Quexie" from the flap pulled up by the head of the bed.

"Quexie" is one of the eight swords that Sun Quan acquired. He had carried it with him for several years, and left it for me when he left the day before yesterday for self-defense.

With my horizontal sword in front of me, I drew out the blade of the sword. Seeing this, the banshee shrank into a ball trembling, and shrieked back into the crock: "How could it be! How could it be! I am not reconciled!"

She finally disappeared.And the darkness in the bedroom receded, and the warm candlelight caressed my face.

A clean-skinned man was standing in front of the bed wearing a doctor's linen shirt. When he saw me open his eyes, his face relaxed: "I'm awake."

"Thank God, this lady finally woke up." Another strange middle-aged woman squeezed in front of me and stuffed more ginseng slices into my mouth: "Madam, chew it quickly, it will give you strength."

The doctors quickly wiped off the blood on my thigh with a cotton cloth soaked in water.

I realized that I jumped out of the mirage set by the banshee.I struggled to raise my head, coughed and spit out the ginseng dregs, and asked the doctor, "Tell me if it's dystocia?"

He answered curtly, "Yes."

Everyone on the side looked at each other in shock, and I said sharply: "Everyone get out, you, stay with me."

I took out the dagger and threw it to him: "For God's sake, if the child still doesn't come out after a quarter of an hour... you, you cut it open... I know what you did."

He threw the dagger aside, walked to the head of the bed in a flowing manner, pulled the bell and took out Quxie.

At that time, I was delirious due to a new round of contractions, but when he took out the sword, I woke up from my dazed mind: "How do you know..."

He leaned down and looked at me: "Madam, you're not so naive as to think that the banshee can be executed by you alone, right?"

I "teared" and scratched a few marks on the edge of the bed with my nails: "Who are you?"

"Hou Guan Dong Yuan, pay my respects to Mrs. Zhou." He arrived calmly, without any hesitation, he raised his sword and cut open my skin quickly.

The smell of blood spread, and I didn't feel any pain, until he stretched out his hands and penetrated into my belly from below, everything was frozen in darkness.
