Lord and leave

Chapter 263

In the palace of Chu State, the oppressive atmosphere of the previous period was restored, and even the most favored Concubine Qing did not dare to complain to Chu Hengqing.

Concubine Qing's belly is getting bigger day by day, she is becoming more and more picky about what she eats, and her temper has changed from being gentle and pleasant in the past to becoming worse and worse.Of course, these only dared to show it when Chu Hengqing was not in her bedroom.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be here today, you'd better rest early." The little maid beside Concubine Qing saw that Concubine Qing went to bed late every day in order to wait for the Emperor, which would easily hurt the dragon child in her stomach. .

The little maid couldn't bear to see it, and said aloud.

"Go and inquire about where the emperor will sleep tonight." Concubine Qing still did not give up.

Now that she has a dragon seed, it is impossible for her to wait for a bed, and the number of times the emperor comes is not very many. Every time she comes, she will take a quick look, ask a few questions if she is not particularly concerned, and then say that there is still something to be done. I'm busy and I'm leaving.

But fortunately, even if Chu Hengqing hadn't been here a few times, the number of times he went to other concubines was only a handful, so Concubine Qing's heart was more balanced.

"Yes, servant girl will go right away." The little girl was diligent and walked away as soon as she received the order.

"The Emperor is here."

As soon as the little girl rushed to the door, the sharp voice of the little eunuch outside rang out, which was especially harsh in such a dark night.

As soon as Concubine Qing heard that Chu Hengqing was coming, the expression on her face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, like a flower blooming in an instant, and she greeted her with a face full of spring.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Thanks to her not taking off her makeup today, waiting for Chu Hengqing to prevent Chu Hengqing from seeing her appearance after taking off her makeup, he will definitely dislike her.

There are thousands of beauties in the harem, she is pregnant now, her figure has lost her shape, and the makeup on her face must not lose to anyone else.

Chu Hengqing rarely came to see her so late, what happened today?
Concubine Qing was extremely happy in her heart, but she also dealt with it cautiously.

Look up to find the best angle that you have practiced countless times, and lift your face.Under the candlelight, Concubine Qing's small face looked even more round and smooth, which had a lot to do with her pregnancy.

"My concubine, get up, you are pregnant now, these etiquettes can be avoided if you can, don't move your fetus." With some sincerity, Chu Hengqing stepped forward to help Qing who was about to kneel down to salute concubine.

Chu Hengqing's face was filled with the tension and worry of being a new father, for fear that his first child would be hurt in any way.

In the past few days, he has been in a very bad mood, and the main reason is Zhu Bingling.

For such a long time, there was no news of Zhu Bingling, and it was even more difficult to sleep peacefully at night like this.

Ever since Zhu Bingling was captured and Concubine Qing was pregnant, he spent less time in the various palaces. Compared to others, he prefers to spend a while alone in the study quietly and think about it. .

Tonight, I remembered that I hadn't seen my own flesh and blood in Concubine Qing's belly for a long time, so I rushed over here.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This is his flesh and blood, there is still a long, long time before the baby will be born, and he can't wait to see what the baby looks like.

Is it similar to his childhood?

"Your Majesty, why do you keep touching my concubine's belly? The baby is still young, and won't move until a few months later!" It sounds like Concubine Qing is acting coquettishly, but there is inevitably some jealousy in this coquettishness .

Yes, Concubine Qing is now even jealous of the child in her own stomach. From the first time Chu Hengqing came to her bedroom until now, from eyes to hands, she has never left her stomach.

Is this her luck or misfortune?
The child brought her glory and low status, and at the same time, in Chu Hengqing's eyes, she was just a container containing the child.

"Boy, grow up quickly. Father can't wait to see how you look." With his fingers still resting on Concubine Qing's stomach, Chu Hengqing was still watching.

A different light flashed across Concubine Qing's eyes, and Chu Hengqing, who quickly lowered her head, didn't notice it at all.

The child in this belly is very important, it must not be a girl, otherwise, everything she has today will be gone.

"That's right, baby, father, queen, mother and concubine all hope that you will grow up quickly, and when you grow up, you will be filial to your father and king.

Your majesty, the concubine has a very strong feeling.Aifei, how do you feel?Is there something uncomfortable?Call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor quickly. "Chu Hengqing was thinking about the children just now, and he didn't pay much attention to what Concubine Qing said.

After hearing her last few words, Chu Hengqing had a very strong feeling. His first reaction was that there was something wrong with the child. At that time, he was anxious to send someone to call the imperial doctor to prevent the child from having an accident.

Gently pressing Chu Hengqing's summoning hand, with a shy expression on her face, Concubine Qing blushed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't feel any discomfort. I mean, I have a premonition.

The concubine had a premonition that the dragon in the belly must be a prince. "The servant who rushed over just now quietly retreated under Concubine Qing's gesture.

"What do you mean by Aifei?" Of course Chu Hengqing also hoped to win a man in one fell swoop.

But this first prince, he wanted more to be his and Ling'er's flesh and blood.

"Your Majesty, everyone says that mother and child are connected, and now that the baby is in the body of the concubine, the concubine has such a strong feeling.

I don't know if this feeling was conveyed by the child to the concubine, through the concubine's mouth to communicate with his father and king. "Concubine Qing glanced at Chu Hengqing's face, and continued cautiously.

Of course Chu Hengqing knew that this was impossible, but when he heard Concubine Qing say this, he actually felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.

Concubine Qing saw that Chu Hengqing looked very good, showing tenderness on her face, and spoke even harder.

"Your majesty, the concubine can feel the baby growing up in the concubine's stomach every day, growing up a little bit every day, growing up a little bit like this, until the concubine's stomach can't hold it anymore. , the baby of the emperor and his concubines will be born.

Your Majesty, the concubine also really wants to see the baby's appearance now, wants to touch the baby's pitiful little face, now the concubine seems to be able to see his appearance in front of her eyes, small, soft, and really cute. "Concubine Qing tried her best to describe the picture in her mind to Chu Hengqing, so that Chu Hengqing's expectations for this child would be higher. In this way, the weight of this child in Chu Hengqing's heart would be more important. .

This can be regarded as the first step, the first step paved for her child as a mother.

Chu Hengqing listened to Concubine Qing's earnest statement, and a loving smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That night, Chu Hengqing stayed with Concubine Qing for a very rare night.

In the early morning of the next day, the news spread throughout the palace, and Concubine Qing's status was just as she wanted, and it was once again raised a lot.

Pregnant women are always sleepy. When Chu Hengqing left, Concubine Qing hadn't woken up yet.

By the time Concubine Qing Youyou woke up from her sweet dream, the place around her had already become icy cold, and Chu Hengqing had already left for a long time.

Zhu Bingling thought that there would be a few days of quiet life, but unexpectedly, Zhu Huo Yuan came to Zhao country at this time.

Zhu Huo Yuan obviously came after Zhu Bingling.

After Zhu Huoyuan, who met Zhao Heng in Chu State, met Zhao Heng face to face, he has been secretly thinking about how to get close to Zhao Heng and attack Zhao Heng.

After Zhu Huo Yuan stayed in Chu State for a long time, he finally found out that Zhu Bingling's people were no longer in Chu State.

According to the reliable news he got, Zhu Bingling had already been taken away by Zhao Heng's men.

So Zhu Huo Yuan quickly followed Zhao Heng's footsteps and came to Zhao country.

In the capital city of Zhao country, Zhu Huo Yuan wandered around for a long time before he found out that Zhao Heng was not in the capital city of Zhao country at all, but in a courtyard in another town of Zhao country.

Zhu Huoyuan, who had finally arrived in the capital of Zhao State, rushed to Zhao Heng's other courtyard non-stop, and finally found this other courtyard before Zhu Bingling changed places again.

But the people who wished Huo Yuan had knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered inside, so what's going on?
"Master, there has been no response from the inside. The slave will go to the next door and ask to see what's going on."

"En!" Zhu Huo Yuan replied in a deep voice.

Can't help but suspect in his heart, did Zhao Heng already know that he came to Zhao country, in order to prevent him from meeting Zhu Bingling, so he has transferred Zhu Bingling to another place?
After a while, the servant trotted back. "Master, the people nearby said that the people in this yard don't come out very often, and few people will come to look for the people in the yard when they see them.

However, every morning, servants from this mansion would come out to buy vegetables. "Speaking of which, this family is really strange. There are obviously people inside, but the people outside have knocked for so long and no one has come to answer the door. This is the first time this young man has seen such a thing after living for so long.

"Keep knocking, I can't believe no one has answered the door." Tomorrow morning?
Every quarter of an hour, the variables will double. I hope that Huo Yuan can make this kind of thing happen again, and if there are more variables, it is better to meet people sooner.

"Yes, master!" The servant knocked on the door harder after hearing the order.

Small snowflakes kept falling, but the boy's hands didn't stop. After a while, the boy's hands became red.

Zhu Huo Yuan felt very cold, so he returned to the sedan chair from the outside.

In fact, this is also a psychological function of people. The inside of the sedan chair is just a thin layer of fabric compared to the people outside, so it will not play a role in preventing the cold.

It was noon now, and Zhu Bingling was taking a nap inside the room.

Lying on a soft bed, covered with a solid quilt, everything is so comfortable.

But faintly, Zhu Bingling could always hear some knocking on the door, which was not very loud.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but the sound kept coming, which disturbed Zhu Bingling's good mood, and Zhu Bingling suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Where are the people in Zhao Heng's yard dead? There are gangs of people who usually monitor her, both openly and secretly.

Why is there no one to answer the knock on the door at this time, and if she keeps knocking for so long, will it affect her rest?

Really disturbed by the knock on the door, she couldn't lie down anymore, so Zhu Bingling simply got up and didn't sleep, and went to the front to see what was going on, but there was no one who opened the door.

Putting on a robe casually, he got up and went out.

The snowflakes outside are still falling non-stop, with no intention of stopping at all.
