Chapter 118
When the day came to August, bad news came from the Northwest War. In order to increase the combat power to the border, Rouran united with a tribe of the Di people.

Northwest has lost two games in a row, and the defenders on the border are about to give up.Jiang Xufeng got angry for the first time in the early court, but fortunately, he was well prepared. Jiang Xufeng's edict was sent to the north half a month ago. I think Wen Zhinan's army was almost in the northwest at this time.

If it was just that the war was unfavorable, Jiang Xufeng would not be so emotional, but the spy of the imperial army who followed Song Zhao to deliver food came back with news.

There was something strange about Rouran's sudden rise of troops, and the war in the northwest seemed to be extremely tense, but when they arrived in the northwest, the people looked relaxed, and their lives were going on as usual, and they did not move south to stay away from the war at all.

Naturally, the scouts of the imperial army also asked about the reason. After asking more than a dozen people, they all said that the strength of Rouran this time was less than half of what it used to be, and somehow it was still able to fight back and forth.

After Jiang Xufeng read the secret report sent back, his expression was gloomy and terrifying like never before.What a Gu Zhun, what an uncle, who treats the lives of soldiers and common people like a trifle, and treats him and all the courtiers like monkeys!
Jiang Xufeng immediately wrote a secret decree, and Dali Temple immediately sent people to the northwest to hand it over to Wen Zhinan.

The second son of Han who was investigating the Song family in the south of the Yangtze River also came back with many news one after another. Following the clues given by Jiang Xufeng before, the second son of Han found out the village where the Song family's ancestral house was located.

The whole village has the surname Song, but they are not as poor as other surrounding villages, they live affluent lives and spend generously.Han Er has been working in Dali Temple for a long time, and his nerves are sensitive, so he will continue to investigate one or two more.

For a while, Jiang Xufeng became busy again, and he couldn't even come to Fengyi Palace every day, let alone other concubines.

When Dongqing came to Fengyi Palace to deliver things again, Wen Jing couldn't help asking a few words.

Dongqing smiled, and said what her master wanted to convey when she came: "Although the emperor is busy with political affairs, he still misses your mother very much. The emperor also found a lot of books and wanted to read them to your mother. The slave master said that your mother is not here. , the emperor has less meals."

Wen Jing understood the hint in the words, and sighed softly.She also went to Taichen Palace a few times, Jiang Xufeng was busy in Liangyi Palace, he was a little irritable, Wen Jing could see it.

"I want to have dinner with the emperor later."

Dongqing smiled for a moment, the recent atmosphere in Taichen Palace, even his master slowed down his breathing, and now only the empress can 'save' them from the fire.

Jiang Xufeng critiqued the papers all afternoon, feeling dizzy. When Zhu Zhan reminded him that it was time for dinner, Jiang Xufeng had no appetite and didn't want to eat at all.

Zhu Zhan smiled flatteringly, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, in the afternoon, the empress said that she would have dinner with you."

Jiang Xufeng paused slightly with his hand rubbing his forehead, his eyes were already on Zhu Zhan: "It's troublesome."

Then he changed the subject: "The queen's taste is changeable, so ask the dining room to prepare more different ones, and prepare some light ones."

Since Wen Jing came to Taichen Palace, it was getting late, so she naturally stayed.Jiang Xufeng continued to read the booklet, and she sat aside to read a book or a female celebrity to pass some time.

Wen Jing saw Jiang Xufeng rubbing his forehead every incense stick, and walked lightly behind Jiang Xufeng. Her fingertips felt a little cool, which made Jiang Xufeng tremble slightly, and then relaxed.

She didn't open her mouth to persuade Jiang Xufeng to rest more. She wanted to come to the imperial physician and the surrounding palace people did not say much.

Sure enough, Jiang Xufeng slowly closed his eyes, but he was about to fall asleep in a moment.

Wen Jing smiled faintly, and whispered softly in Jiang Xufeng's ear: "Since the emperor is sleepy, why not take a nap, the concubine is watching the time."

Probably because Wen Jing's fragrance was too pleasant, or Wen Jing's tone of voice was too gentle, Jiang Xufeng just got on the couch obediently.

Wen Jing didn't lie to him, she did keep looking at the time, and woke up Jiang Xufeng after half an hour.

Jiang Xufeng was a little dazed, he didn't sleep enough and his whole body was lazy, he took Wen Jing's hand and kissed it, and then gently stroked Wen Jing's abdomen: "It's almost Xu time, Queen Lao is guarding me, but tired?"

"The concubine slept for an hour during the day, but she wasn't too sleepy." Wen Jing brought a cup of warm water to Jiang Xufeng, "Should the emperor get up and continue reviewing papers, or just go to sleep?"

Jiang Xufeng glanced at the direction of the desk impatiently, sat up and saw Wen Jing's concerned eyes again, and sighed: "Forget it, just read it tomorrow. Let's read some scriptures and rest early."

Another seven or eight days later, the battle report came from the northwest again. Wen Zhinan had already led [-] support troops to the northwest, and Gu Zhun and Song Zhao were directly detained by Wen Zhinan on the spot.

By the end of September, Wen Jing's fetal image had stabilized, and she listened to the health nurse's words, and occasionally went out for a walk.

Autumn in the capital is a bit bleak, but it's not too cold, and today is also a breezy autumn. Concubine Hui held Su Wen's hand and went out to stroll in the garden.As soon as she entered the Imperial Garden, Concubine Hui stopped in her tracks. Su Wen followed Concubine Hui's gaze, and saw that the emperor and empress were both in the pavilion beside Taiye Lake.

Both the emperor and the empress seem to be in good spirits, with obvious smiles on their brows and eyes.

Jiang Xufeng held a fruit in his hand, and he handed it to Wen Jing. When Wen Jing was about to reach for it, Jiang Xufeng hid back and led Wen Jing to take it from him.When Wen Jing got close, he hugged Wen Jing's waist again, and got Wen Jing's staring eyes at him.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the husband and wife were both wearing clothes of the same color today. Jiang Xufeng didn't wear a crown, but tied his hair up. Looking from a distance, he seemed to be a good couple.

"Your Majesty, shall we go up to see you?"

Concubine Hui didn't hear Su Wen's question at all, she unconsciously clenched the handkerchief tightly.She and the eldest son of the emperor hadn't seen the emperor for almost two months, but the emperor would send things to Fengyi Palace from time to time, and accompany the empress to have dinner, and now he can take time out of his busy schedule to visit the garden with the empress.

The emperor's smile has always been very flat. Concubine Hui prides herself on being intelligent, but she rarely understands the emperor's expression.But at this time, the emperor's expression was so real that he could understand it at a glance.

"Mistress? Mistress?"

Concubine Hui suddenly came back to her senses, she loosened her handkerchief and dropped it to the ground.

Su Yu quickly picked up the handkerchief and handed it back to Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui looked at it for a while, then took a deep breath: "I don't want this handkerchief anymore, throw it away."

"Since the emperor and empress are here to enjoy the scenery, we don't want others to disturb us, so let's go elsewhere."

Concubine Hui was silent all the way. After a while, she suddenly broke a blooming chrysanthemum on the side of the road: "I remember that Xia Shouzhong from the Ministry of Internal Affairs once looked for you, right?"

Su Wen was startled, and raised his head: "Your Majesty, that's the Empress Dowager."

"I always have to think about myself and the eldest son of the emperor!" Concubine Hui suddenly lost her temper, even ignoring the use of 'Ben Gong'.

She took a breath, and continued in a calm tone as much as possible, "Just tell him that I am willing to cooperate with the empress dowager, but please also ask the empress dowager to leave a way for me to survive, so that there is no need to contact me on the surface."
