The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 157
"My lord! My lord!" Zhao Shuang finally shouted.

There was a dead silence on the side of the thousand-mile sound transmission mirror, and there was no other sound after the "boom".

Seeing the sudden change in Zhao Shuang's expression, Mrs. Rong quickly comforted her, "Princess, my lord... Maybe he was on his way and didn't hear your call!"

"Last night, he said that he had gone deep into Beiliang country and found the whereabouts of the Black Moon Palace in the desert." Zhao Shuang stared blankly at the rusted bronze mirror, and said sadly, "Could it be that he was blocked by the medicine men? I don't know how the battle went." It's..."

Ever since she was pregnant, her spells fluctuated up and down, her mind was restless, and her divination was not accurate, and she always calculated a mess of divination.

"Princess, don't worry. When Xu Shou receives the news from the northern border, I will go to inquire about it, and then report back to the princess." The voice from the bronze mirror just now was clearly ominous, but Rong didn't dare to tell the truth, and squeezed out Smiling and comforting, "It's not the first time for the prince to go to the north, this time it will definitely be as smooth as before. Let's wait for the good news from the prince."

However, things backfired. A few days later, Xu Shou received a battle report from Lu Jing, the general of the Hancang Army. When the regent's personal soldiers first entered the northern border, they were blocked by the Northern Liang cavalry, but they have always been able to handle it with ease and have never tasted defeat.

Later, the regent said that he had discovered the whereabouts of the Black Moon Palace, and hurriedly brought some people to check it out, and since then he has lost track of it.

Ever since the Northern Liang Kingdom and the tribes in the northern borders raised the anti-flag, the Hancang army had been overwhelmed. They were battered by the Yaoren Corps and wandered around in the desert.

Lu Jing said in the battle report that no trace of the Prince Regent's personal soldiers was found, but a few lost horses were found in the desert. He suspected that the prince had already encountered an accident, so he asked to go to Beijing to send other troops to support the northern border.

Since then, no one in the Hancang Army dared to approach the Black Moon Palace.

The thousand-mile sound transmission mirror has been silent since the "rumble" that day.Zhao Shuang found it strange that even if something happened to Yang Xuan and the thousand-mile sound-transmitting mirror was lost on the battlefield, there should be some wind from the desert, but there was nothing, and it was abnormally quiet.

She had countless questions in her mind, but she couldn't confirm them.

In the afternoon, it was raining lightly outside the window, and "ding ding dong dong" hit the flowerpot of the scented primrose, and the blue branches and leaves were washed shiny by the rain.

The woman was wearing a light green loose brocade robe, sitting on a soft couch in front of the window, staring at the rust on the bronze mirror, recalling that Yang Xuan had said that she would definitely come back when she gave birth.

There are still two months before the expected delivery date, but there is no news of him, and his life and death are uncertain.

Zhao Shuang couldn't help pinching the bronze mirror tightly, her knuckles turned white, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

On the opposite side, Mrs. Rong sat quietly, not knowing what to say. She had exhausted all her comforting words during this time, but the news from the north was getting worse and worse. Even the Hancang Army’s military report was gone. Lu Jing was already exhausted and had no time to write letters.

"Mrs. Xu, I...have an unfeeling request," Zhao Shuang suddenly looked at Mrs. Rong solemnly, and said, "Mrs. Xu must agree to this."

In the past, the Xu family took care of themselves for Yang Xuan's sake, but now that the prince is gone, the royal family of the Great Zhou might not last long. The Xu family continued to take care of themselves because of loyalty.

"This..." Rong's face was surprised, his eyes widened, and he nodded desperately, "What is the princess talking about? Just say what you want, even if our Xu family goes through fire and water, we will finish the princess's work. "

"I think, when this child is born, I will foster him in the Xu family..." Zhao Shuang caressed her swollen abdomen with one hand, and said worriedly, "I want to go to the north, but I can't take this child with me. Originally, I want to bring him back to Shangjing City and give him to the Duke and Duchess to take care of him, but the prince is right, Shangjing City is too close to the northern border, it is not safe after all, so I think... it is better to keep him in Chuzhou City. "

Xu Shou and Rong's have two children, one is seven or eight years old, and the other is five or six years old, they don't need Rong's personal care, and Chuzhou City is rich, there is no shortage of wet nurses and servants in Xu's mansion, Rong's She also has experience in taking care of children. She is young and has enough energy.

Zhao Shuang had considered it over and over again in the past few days before taking this idea.

"Ah?" Rong shivered in shock, shaking her head again and again, "Princess, it's not that I refuse to take care of the young prince, but... when the prince left, I asked Xu Shou to take good care of you, but you Why are you going to the northern border... It's wartime now! The northern border is bloody, I heard that the Hancang army was defeated, and the Northern Liang cavalry is approaching Shangjing, you... What are you doing in the northern border?"

"I'm worried about the lord." Zhao Shuang took Rong's hand and said dejectedly, "Recently, my hexagrams are always inaccurate, and I'm worried that something happened to him. The sound transmission mirror for thousands of miles has also lost its sound, and I always feel that something is wrong occur."

"Even if the prince is gone, you still have to live well and take care of the little prince!" As soon as Rong finished speaking, she saw the pale face of the woman opposite, and hurriedly remedied, "Besides, the prince is very skilled in martial arts, and he is also proficient in the art of using soldiers. , This time, besides the prince’s personal soldiers, we also brought our western Yunnan vanguard cavalry to the northern border. I am thinking... the whole army should not be wiped out. Even if he encounters any difficulties, he will definitely save the day! You Now that you are pregnant, you must not be distracted."

Rong patted the back of her hand reassuringly, with three points of encouragement and seven points of sympathy in his eyes.

Alas, the prince is probably more ominous than good, the poor concubine and the child in her belly have not seen the face of the father yet.

"You're right," Zhao Shuang rubbed his stomach, and smiled at Rong, "It's just... if there is no news from him after giving birth, I will go find him. At that time... Madam Xu please take care of this child for me."

"Princess, don't worry, my Xu family will definitely keep the little prince safe even if we go through fire and water! The prince is really serious, how can there be no news at such an important time?" The sleeve wiped the corner of his eye.

"How do you know it's the little prince, maybe a little princess?" Zhao Shuang stroked his stomach, feeling bitter.

"All good, all good," Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, hesitatingly said, "Prince...Princess!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing her expression, Zhao Shuang asked curiously, "But what do you want to tell me?"

"I suddenly remembered that a merchant from the Northern Liang Kingdom came to Chuzhou City recently," Rong frowned, recalling, "It is said that this person has traveled all over the world and has many eyes and ears. Go ask that merchant?"

"A peddler?" Zhao Shuang repeated the word, narrowing his eyes slightly, "A peddler from Beiliang Kingdom came to Chuzhou City at this time?"

"I heard that it was because of the war in the northern border that he brought his family south," Rong shook his head and said, "Oh, it's all caused by the war. The northern border can't stay."

"What's the name of this merchant?" Zhao Shuang asked with a frown.
