Jiang Qiniang paused, and immediately asked again: "How did you tell the Duke? Why did he leave again?"

"He happens to have some things to do, and he will pick me up after he is done."

Jiang Qiniang heard the words of coming to pick him up, and she asked again: "When will he come to pick you up?"

"Uh, maybe next year?"

Thinking of this, Qi Zhinian felt happy. If it was really next year, it would be great, Qi Huai would not see his monster appearance, even though Qi Huai would not despise him, he didn't want to be seen by Qi Huai as weird look like.

Jiang Qiniang felt dizzy again after hearing this.

She thought that Qi Huai would at most send Zhao Chujin back to the fief, so she came to pick up Qi Zhinian, who would have thought it would take so long!

Qi Huai's words are so nice, she really touched her, but what Qi Huai did...

Is this to abandon their years?

Otherwise, what a year!

She then thought that her young child would be born without a father just like Nian'er. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the sky was about to collapse, and she stroked her forehead and wanted to fall back.

Qi Zhinian hurried forward and supported her: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

With tears streaming down her face, Jiang Qiniang held Qi Zhinian's hand behind her back: "Mother will take good care of you..."

Qi Zhinian couldn't laugh or cry: "Mother, what are you thinking?"

"Let's have a good time with the baby." Jiang Qiniang cried and hugged Qi Zhinian, "Don't be afraid, with your mother here, the sky will never fall! I will support it if it falls!"

Qi Zhinian guessed what she was thinking, and found it even more funny. He wanted to explain, but his eyes turned red first.

His mother, who had been cowardly all his life, said the bravest words and did the bravest things in his life, all for him.

Their boat continued to go south along the current, and on the day when the peach blossoms were at their peak, they finally docked on the bank of a small town under Pingjiang Prefecture. Huang Lian was already waiting there. Seeing the boat approaching from afar, he waved his hands happily and shouted: "Here, here!!"

Huang Lian is actually a very handsome young man, in a blue shirt, standing among the peach blossoms, he looks really good-looking.

Even Nurse Fan laughed and said, "Ms. Lin has been talking all day long about finding a husband's family for Xiuxiu. I think Dr. Huang is pretty good. He has skills, money, and a good temper. He looks like this, gentle and clean." Qing Junjun, there is no father or mother in the family, knowing the root and the bottom, this marriage is a blessing!"

Jiang Qiniang glanced at her: "Mommy, what do you mean by having no father and no mother? No matter how good you feel in your heart, you can't just say it like this..."

Mother Fan smiled embarrassedly, and Qi Zhinian also found it funny, he said: "After we return to Beijing, we will ask Xiuxiu and her mother if they agree. If yes, I will go and talk to Brother Huang."

"Yes, yes, we will do this when we return to Beijing!"

Jiang Qiniang was extremely worried, could they return to Beijing?

The Duke of the country is obviously going to abandon their young children.

But right now is not the time to bother about these things, Qi Zhinian got up this morning and vomited again, so he should hurry up and ask Huang Lian to take a look, the boat stopped on the shore, and the group immediately went to the house that Huang Lian had rented a long time ago .

As Huang Lian walked, he pointed to an empty lot near the river not far away and said: "I bought the land here, and people will come to build a house tomorrow, and it will be just built in summer, let it dry, and live in it in autumn." , and the baby just happened to be born."

Jiang Qiniang nodded happily: "That's right, autumn doesn't hurt people, and the age and children are good."

Huang Lian was still saying: "I also asked people to buy a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus, and when the time comes to plant them in the courtyard, it will not only have a good meaning, but also be fragrant!"

He made the big guys laugh again, even though Qi Zhinian was feeling very uncomfortable, looking at the temporarily empty place in the distance, he felt his heart was full instantly.

Qi Zhinian and the others have lived here, and Jiang Qiniang is not sad now, let alone lying on the bed all day, walking around Qi Zhinian every day, afraid that he will be unhappy, afraid that he will be uncomfortable, and there is no word about Qi Huai. She didn't dare to mention it, but she still thought that Qi Huai had abandoned Qi Zhinian unilaterally, especially when a month or two passed and there was no sign of Qi Huai.

She is such a timid person, and she is even more afraid that Qi Huai is afraid to the bone, and now she dares to say in front of Mother Fan: "What's the use of talking nicely, the key is how to do it! Fortunately, I really believed it back then. His nonsense!"

Mother Fan was also very angry: "I really didn't expect Grandpa Guo to be such a person!"

Afterwards, Jiang Qiniang couldn't help but cry sadly again: "It's just pity for our young and unborn baby. I don't know how dangerous it must be when giving birth."

Mother Fan could only comfort her in the same sad way.

This kind of scene happened almost every few days, especially when Qi Zhinian was not feeling well, Jiang Qiniang was secretly crying every day, and secretly scolded Qi Huai by the way.

Qi Zhinian knew it all, but he was powerless.

The child is getting bigger and bigger, the man's body is not suitable for pregnancy, his physical reaction is very serious, he can no longer comfort Jiang Qiniang.

In summer, on the day the house was built, Jiang Qiniang and Mother Fan went to check the house, looked around, and thought it was very good.

The workers who built the house for them were specially hired from the city of Pingjiang Prefecture. After the house was built, the wages were paid, and the owner was satisfied, they wanted to go back. Jiang Qiniang specially called a boat to take them off, and Huanglian sent them on It took about an hour for the boat to sail back.

It happened that Jiang Qiniang was buying fresh cherries for Qi Zhinian with Mother Fan at the stall by the river, and was surprised to see them go and come back.

Those workers jumped off the boat and shouted: "It's not good, it's not good, there's a war outside!"

The originally lively riverside immediately became extremely quiet, but soon, everyone rushed to ask questions.

"what happened?"

"What's the fight?!"

"Why is there no movement here?!"

"Will it come to us?!"

"You're going to die, run away quickly!!"

The riverside immediately became a mess.

Jiang Qiniang was so frightened that she pulled Nanny Fan up and ran home: "Quick, quick, let's run away with Nian'er!"

Qi Zhinian has always been thin and wears a loose gown. In fact, it is hard to tell that there is a baby in his stomach. It is hot in summer, so we can't use ice, even colder tea, and it will be even hotter when we are pregnant. Said it was the most difficult summer for Qi Zhinian since childhood.

He lay uncomfortably on the arhat bed covered with bamboo mats, unable to sleep, and just closed his eyes and took a nap.

"Nian'er!" Jiang Qiniang suppressed her throat again, with panic in her voice.

Qi Zhinian opened his eyes, forced a smile, and asked, "Mother, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Nianer, there is a war outside, let's run away quickly! It will come to us soon!!"

Jiang Qiniang was full of panic, and Mother Fan nodded anxiously.

Qi Zhinian persuaded: "It's okay, mother, you will definitely not be able to call us here."

Jiang Qiniang was even more anxious: "The workers can't go back to the city. It is said that the other side of the river is full of soldiers! If you don't run away, you won't be able to run away!"

Jiang Qiniang was really anxious, Qi Zhinian had no choice but to reach out to hold her, and said slowly: "Mother, it's really fine, Qi Huai will protect us."

"...Ah?" Jiang Qiniang was stunned, what does it have to do with Qi Huai?It's been several months, and Qi Huai hasn't even written a single letter.

Qi Zhinian didn't have the energy to talk too much, he probably explained: "The prince's virtues are flawed, he is unworthy of ascending to a high position, he will step down sooner or later, the most important thing is the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, and we are just a little boy here. The town, the flames of war will never spread here, no matter who it is, it will protect this place."

"..." Jiang Qiniang really didn't understand these things, she was still a little scared.

Mother Fan came in from the outside and reported: "Girl! Suddenly more than 100 boys came outside our house and surrounded our house! Doctor Huang went up to ask, and they said they were sent by the Duke..."

"Ah?" Jiang Qiniang couldn't help but went out to have a look with her own eyes. What surprised her was that these people were common in the past.

Some are neighbors living nearby, some are hawkers selling cherries by the river, and some are oil sellers carrying burdens and hawking in alleys. In short, none of them are familiar faces...

Mother Fan whispered: "Could it be that they were actually sent by the Duke to protect us..."

"..." Only then did Jiang Qiniang understand what Qi Zhinian said, and she dared to believe it. Maybe it's really all right?

The town was in a panic for a long time, and soon some officials from the county came to comfort everyone: "Everyone, don't worry, don't run away! No matter who owns the sky above our heads, our common people are absolutely safe, and the adults in the yamen are doing the same for this." Run around, live as you want, live as you want!"

Huang Lian simply took a boat to the village on the edge of the town to inquire in person, and brought back a lot of news.

The outside is really turned upside down.

"It is said that it was Wang Shun who was in front of the first emperor. Everyone regarded him as a great eunuch who had died a long time ago. He suddenly approached An Jun Wang Zhao Chujin and reported to him, saying that the first emperor was killed by the crown prince himself!"

"..." Jiang Qiniang and Fan Momo sat in the corridor with the newly hired maids, all of them were too scared to speak.

Huang Lian continued like a storyteller, "The prince of the county certainly doesn't believe it. The eunuch took out the last letter of Emperor Feng Xian. He wrote the letter with a premonition that the prince was going to assassinate him, and explained a lot of funeral affairs. Of course the prince of the county still didn't believe it. Fortunately, he still didn't believe it. With our Grandfather by his side, the Grandfather was taught by the late emperor since he was a child, comparing them one by one, this is really the late emperor's handwriting!

"It just so happened that the late emperor's former teacher, after resigning from his old age and returning to his hometown, his hometown was nearby. The Duke and the prince went to ask the old gentleman for proof, and proved once again that this is indeed the letter written by the late emperor! It is mentioned in the letter that if he dies unfortunately, It is said that Zhao Chujin, the king of Anjun, hopes that his younger brother Zhao Chujin, the king of Anjun, can discipline his unworthy descendants."

A little maid asked weakly: "So the county prince really did this?"

"Is the prince of the county this kind of person? It was the crown prince who killed the late emperor, but not the other sons of the late emperor. However, the prince was the one who protected the throne at the beginning. The prince of the county hated that he had misjudged the person. He immediately told the world that he would replace him. The emperor's revenge, besides, our world cannot fall into the hands of such regicides and patricides! What the prince of the county means is to capture the prince and invite the second emperor's favorite son, the second prince, to take the throne."

The little maid nodded again and again, and asked anxiously: "What happened later? Can the prince agree? Is it because of this that the war started?"

"Hey, where did this come from? The prince of the county and the prince of the country immediately returned to the capital to try to confront the prince, but the prince not only killed all his younger brothers, but also arrested the elder in the capital first. Princess!"

Everyone inhaled again, Qi Zhinian, who was listening in the room, held a fan and fanned it slowly, Huang Lian was still in the courtyard, Qi Zhinian listened, and fell asleep again .

But what actually happened was similar to Huang Lian's description, except that something went wrong with the Eldest Princess.

However, the news about Wang Shun's defection to Zhao Chujin spread to the middle of the capital after the incident, and the crown prince hated it very much.

At this time, he also knew that Qi Huai and Zhao Chujin were bound together, and they were determined to confront him. They had completely torn their skins apart, and in the end it was either you or me.

It's a pity that Qi Zhinian and Jiang Qiniang ran away first, and where they are now is unknown.

Fortunately, there is still a long princess in Beijing.

What the prince didn't know was that before this, the eldest princess already knew that the prince had murderous intentions towards her.

It was a letter reported by Emperor Taisun Zhao Jinfeng.

At that time, the Crown Prince was determined to marry Zhao Wu to Qi Huai, and the Eldest Princess was determined not to marry her. The whole court knew that after Qi Huai left the capital, the Crown Prince wanted to kill the Eldest Princess several times.

One night, when Zhao Jin came to visit, the princess was wondering why he came.

Zhao Jin didn't say much, just said: "Grandmother, take your bodyguards and escape quickly, my father, he has already murdered you."

It's not surprising that the eldest princess knew that the prince wanted to kill him. She was surprised: "You came here just for this matter?"

Zhao Jin smiled wryly. Under the lamp, he was extremely thin, and there was no glory in the past. He was silent for a moment, but said in a low voice: "I just hope that father will not continue to make mistakes."

The eldest princess didn't know about the prince's murder of his father, so she was a little puzzled by his words.

After Zhao Jin finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Before he could leave the eldest princess's mansion, he was caught by the prince who came in person.

The prince pointed at Zhao Jin angrily: "You unfilial son! Kneel down for me!"

Zhao Jin knelt down silently, the crown prince kicked him several times in hatred, the eldest princess couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and said loudly: "What's the matter, what's the point of getting angry at the child?!"

"He is considered a son? Which son specializes in tearing down his father?!"

Before the eldest princess said anything, Zhao Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said loudly: "At least, I will not be a son who killed his father with his own hands!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the prince and princess were stunned.

After a long while, the prince trembled and said, "You, how do you know."

Zhao Jin said painfully: "In those few days in the northwest, my father had nightmares every night and talked a lot of nonsense. My son was afraid of being heard, so I was alone on duty every night. Father, please stop, you have no talent for governing the country. , Killing fathers and kings is already a sinner through the ages, so it’s okay to leave this position to someone who is truly suitable?"

As Zhao Jin spoke, he kowtowed on the ground again and again.

The prince was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to kick Zhao Jin, but found that his panic, his anger, even if he kicked Zhao Jin to death, there was no solution.

Zhao Jin's words poked his dead point everywhere.

His inferiority complex, his arrogance, and everything about him were completely exposed to the sun, and he stood there trembling.

The eldest princess is a smart person, she already understood what was going on, and she just sneered when she saw this, "It's better to leave! Just one thing, you don't want to make decisions about Qi Huai's marriage, you are not young anymore, think about your children carefully." What you said! Reflect on yourself!"

After all, the eldest princess turned around and went back to the house.

About a quarter of an hour later, the crown prince took Zhao Jin and left in despair. After that, the eldest princess never heard of Zhao Jin again, and she didn't know how the crown prince dealt with him.

It was only later that Wang Shun took refuge in Zhao Chujin.

Before the incident broke out, the people sent by Qi Huai had already contacted the eldest princess, intending to take her away secretly.

The eldest princess has been proud all her life, even at this moment, she still raised her chin and said domineeringly: "No need!"

The person who came to report the letter looked at her puzzled.

The eldest princess said loudly: "I am the princess named by my father, and I was raised by my father himself. In this life, I have never been afraid of any monsters. I am here. I want to see who has the courage to kill I, I still want to see, who can kill me!"

She continued: "Go back and tell Huai'er that his mother and I still have some family background! Let me take care of the land in the capital for her! I will wait for him at the Eldest Princess' mansion!"

The guard said that his mouth was broken, and the eldest princess was unwilling to go with him.

When the prince learned about Wang Shun, he sent troops to surround the eldest princess's mansion and wanted to capture the eldest princess as a hostage. Lan Yu suddenly appeared with an army of [-], and the prince knew that his imperial grandfather directly gave the eldest princess With a tiger talisman, the princess can command [-] imperial troops for self-protection.

Now that the [-] troops are all under the name of Lan Yu, Lan Yu, who is the current commander of the front of the palace, will only recognize this tiger talisman.

This is the real trump card of the eldest princess.

There were only 2 imperial guards in Beijing, but now more than 1 are in the hands of the eldest princess, and the prince can only control half of them. Moreover, he has not yet held the enthronement ceremony, so his reputation is somewhat unfair.

During the process of Zhao Chujin and Qi Huai's journey to the north, every prefecture was moved upon hearing the news. They had already seen the future clearly, and they surrendered one after another, and they all surrendered to the two of them.

What surprised everyone the most was that the two of them seemed to have no soldiers, but when they came, they brought more than 2 people, and many of them were martial arts masters.

This is the result of Qi Huai's management for many years. Every time he competes with others, he seeks everyone's help at this time.

It is also because of these troops that the government will surrender directly without a trace of resistance.

On the day when Qi Huai and Zhao Chujin entered Beijing again, it was the first snow of the year in the capital.

In Qi Zhinian's small house in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, ginkgo trees are falling all over the ground, and the garden is full of sweet-scented osmanthus. When the sky gradually turns white, the crescent moon on the treetops fades away, and the eastern sun gradually rises.

In the small courtyard, the loud cries of children suddenly sounded.

The author has something to say:

Qi Huai will come to pick up his surprise gift bag tomorrow
