Needles don't listen.Chen Xiang had no choice but to make it again with needlework and cloth. It is not auspicious for a baby to wear something that sees blood as soon as it is born.

The process of making these tiger-toed shoes is complicated, Chen Xiang cut the molds and stitched them quickly, and only made a shoe shape before dinner.Bao'er held the unfinished shoes with a smirk on her face, thinking intoxicated how good she would look in them.

……

The envoys from Yecheng arrived probably around Xu time, with a team of more than ten people. From a distance, they saw a train team heading towards the military camp on the grassland.The emissary who came this time was Han Qin, the doctor of imperial history, he was upright and upright, he was a rare neutral faction in the court, he was neither from Li Qi's third brother nor his elder brother and second brother.It seems that the person above knew it well, so he sent this Han Qin to pass the password. You must know that his extra task is to supervise Li Qi's return to Yecheng.

However, Li Qi was surprised and delighted by one person in the envoy's entourage this time. That person was none other than Mo Ziyan!

He greeted Han Qin and his party, and after listening to the password, he said that Li Qi, the chief general of the border, would return to Beijing with Xu Qing, Zeng Lian and other five people under his command early tomorrow morning to wait for the reward.This reward is probably just an excuse, but the real order is to return to Beijing to await trial. This treason case is presented in front of all civil and military officials!

After completing this series of trivial matters and making arrangements for Han Qin and his party, Li Qicai returned to his master account, and Mo Nan was already waiting inside.

Seeing Li Qi come in, Mo Nan said with a playful smile, "Zhongxuan, long time no see, how is your little Baoer?"

Li Qi was fine at first, but when he heard Bao'er mentioned, he frowned and said, "You came here to check Bao'er's pulse that day, rolled up your sleeves and looked at his elbows, is there any intention?"

Mo Nan was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Qi to be able to contact the situation that day, and said, "That's right, I don't know if you've heard of the Gu family in the country?"

Li Qi nodded, and said, "Xu Qing said that you went to the country of Yu to investigate the affairs of the Gu clan. Is the matter of the Gu clan related to Bao'er's current situation?"

Mo Nan was startled, "What's Bao'er's situation now?" Could it be that it was true? He went to check it out just in case.

When Li Qi heard this, he became anxious. Could it be that Ziyan's going to the country didn't anticipate Bao'er's situation earlier, and hurriedly said, "Bao'er's belly is as big as a drum now, and there seems to be something alive in her belly. Isn't this what you expected earlier?" .”

Mo Nan was stunned, Li Qi's words kept echoing in his mind, his belly was as big as a bulging belly, and there was a living thing in his stomach, could it be that the legend was true.

Seeing that Mo Nan didn't speak, Li Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that even Ziyan was helpless about Bao'er's situation.

After a while, Mo Nan finally came back to his senses, and said dryly, "Zhongxuan, the reason why I disappeared suddenly is because Prince Jing found out that Bao'er is a member of the Gu clan in the country of Qi."

Li Qi was taken aback, and asked, "What's the relationship with the third brother?"

Mo Nan replied, "Bao'er suddenly appeared seriously injured in your yard. It was suspicious at first. Prince Jing was worried that he was sent by the First Prince and the Second Prince with wrong intentions, so he has been investigating Bao'er's life experience."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Qi and saw that he was listening, so he continued, "Originally, what you did earlier was just for fun, and secondly, it was to see your sincerity towards Bao'er, but if Bao'er is really a country The Gu family, it is said that the Gu family in the country of the country planted a kind of Gu when they came out of their bodies. If they intercourse with a foreigner, the Gu will pass into the opponent's body and kill the person. A red mark the size of a fingernail, after mating, the red mark will disappear. That's why I left suddenly, for fear that you will be harmed by the voodoo."

After listening to Li Qi, he didn't ask about the poisonous Gu, but asked eagerly, "But I'm fine, is it Bao'er who has the accident now?"

Mo Nan hesitated, "There is also a possibility that there was no Gu in Bao'er's body before, but according to the current situation of Bao'er you described, there is a legend in the country that the Gu women withered, in order to continue the race, a kind of evil will be performed surgery, so that men can also... conceive."

Li Qi was inexplicably surprised, remembering the old doctor asking him if Bao'er was a woman, he said awkwardly, "You...you mean, Bao'er might...be pregnant..." He couldn't say anything.

Mo Nan also had a rare look of embarrassment, "I didn't really find out where the Gu people lived this time, I just heard some people who had contact with the Gu people, so I'm not sure if it's really a child."

Li Qi panicked, "If it's not a child, what is it?"

Seeing that he was nervous, Mo Nan didn't make random guesses, he just said, "I don't want to jump to conclusions now, I won't know the details until I see Bao'er and get the pulse."

Li Qi nodded, feeling uneasy and nervous, Dr. Mo could be said to be his and Bao'er's last hope.

39. Pulse

The group of people set off on the second day, originally Li Qi and Xu Qing thought that the envoy would be Li Qi's third brother, so it would be a matter of course to pick up Bao'er in the Tomb City.But it was Han Qin who did not expect to come, that Han Qin was upright, Li Qi really didn't know what method he should use so that they could pick up Bao'er and travel together all the way.

In the end, after discussing with Xu Qing and Mo Nan, Mo Nan went directly to the Xu Mansion in the Tomb City to pick up Bao'er and came to Beijing with the team, saying that she was the wife of Mo Nan's friend.Because Li Qi and Xu Qing are both members of the military camp, they cannot leave without authorization.What's more, if Li Qi went back to the Tomb City to pick up the pregnant Bao'er and returned to Ye City together, I'm afraid he would be convicted of neglecting his duties, and Bao'er would also discuss the goals of some people with ulterior motives. .

After all, all the outsiders know is that Li Qi has been guarding the border of Yingzhou for the past few years, and he has led his generals to win many battles, big and small.How could Bao'er, who suddenly appeared with a big belly and had a close relationship with Li Qi, not make people suspicious.

Li Qi and his group arrived at the Yingcheng Station to rest for a while, and Mo Nan, who had made preparations earlier, went to Han Qin to explain the set of arguments, and took the opportunity to pick up Bao'er.

Mo Nan is not from the military camp. He met him in Qiongzhou and went to the border of Yingzhou together.Therefore, Han Qin can't control him too much.What's more, Han Qin and Mo Nan's father were friends for a long time, so he sold this favor and allowed him to bring his friend's wife and the military camp back to Yecheng.

At the gate of Li Qiyi station, seeing Mo Nan in a carriage and heading all the way to Xu's mansion, he was worried. He had promised Bao'er to pick him up in two days, but now it was changed to Ziyan. I don't know if Bao'er will be disappointed.

Bao'er lay on the table, staring intently at Chen Xiang making shoes.

When one thread was used up, Chen Xiang took another thread, threaded it in and tied the knot, took the shoe and continued stitching with the stitch just now.Seeing Bao'er's nervous look, she smiled and said, "Ma'am, there are still a few finishing stitches left, there must be time, don't worry."

Bao'er nodded indiscriminately, but continued to stare at the needles in Chenxiang's hand, reluctant to blink.

Chen Xiang was helpless, she had never seen Baoer as the wife of a wealthy family with such a precious pair of baby tiger-toed shoes.Speeding up her hands, and being stared at by Bao'er, she really felt sorry for him if she didn't hurry up.Finally finished the last stitch, tied the thread and bit off the end of the thread, and the two tiger-toed shoes were finished.

Bao'er stared at the two ready-made tiger-toe shoes in Chenxiang's hands with wide eyes, her eyes shining brightly.Chen Xiang brought the shoes in front of him, and said with a smile, "Madam, is there anything you need to change?"

Two small shoes with apricot-yellow cotton uppers, on which Chen Xiang carefully embroidered tiger head patterns with thread, each with a majestic tiger head on the toe of the shoes, the tiger face With a beard and a king character on his forehead, he looks so cute.Bao'er took it over and couldn't put it down to play with it. The small shoes were only as big as the palm of his hand. Bao'er stroked the tiger on the toe of the shoe with his fingers, smiling so hard that his cubs had shoes.

Just when he was happy, he heard someone knocking on the door in the yard outside, and after a while he heard Uncle Xu go out to open the door.Chen Xiang said, "Master Li and Master must be back."

Bao'er's face was shining brightly, and she hurriedly ran out with her shoes in her hands, eager to present the treasure.

It was Mo Nan who knocked on the door. He has lived in Xiaoshan Village for more than four years, and Qiongying and Yingzhou are so close. He must have been to Xufu in Yingzhou.Uncle Xu recognized him, and said, "It's Mr. Mo, my master just went to the border gate two days ago."

Mo Nan smiled and said, "Uncle Xu can still recognize me. We just came back from the border. Now your master and Zhongxuan are at the post station. I'm here to pick up Bao'er. We will leave for Yecheng tomorrow morning."

Bao'er had a big belly and couldn't run at all, finally reached the door, looked outside through Uncle Xu, and saw Doctor Mo standing in front of Uncle Xu and disappearing for a long time.

When Mo Nan saw Bao'er coming out, even though he had been prepared, he couldn't help being surprised when he saw Bao'er's big belly, seeing Bao'er standing there blankly, he smiled, "Little Bao'er, long time no see, I don't recognize me anymore. "

Bao'er came back to her senses, and asked in disappointment, "Dr. Mo, why are you here?" She thought it was Zhongxuan.

Mo Nan said, "Why can't I come here?" He thought to himself, even if this little Bao'er was very disappointed, it was too obvious.

Bao'er blinked her eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "Zhongxuan said you were in Yecheng, and Xiaoshitou went looking for you."

Mo Nan was startled, Xiao Shitou went to Yecheng, and hurriedly asked, "When did Xiao Shitou go?"

Bao'er waved her fingers and counted for a long time, it has been several months, and finally raised three fingers hesitantly.

Mo Nan was helpless, Xiao Baoer seemed unreliable, so he could only ask Zhongxuan later.

A few people entered the room, Mo Nan gave Bao'er a general introduction to Li Qi's situation, Bao'er didn't know if he listened
