Bondage

"Master, there is news from Suhe."

Ji Rong hurried to Shang Rong's bedroom. After seeing Shang Rong and others, he hurriedly informed that the army had arrived at Suhe.

"The battle is tight. Although the court and the central government are constantly dispatching troops, it is not easy to resist Nanqing."

Zhao Nanzhang spoke in a low voice, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he seemed not interested in speaking.

Shang Rong heard the words: "Although we have no money in the treasury these years, Nanqing is not much better."

"King Ning sent troops to Dongning because Nanqing's internal strife has hurt his roots for many years. He wanted to occupy Dongning in exchange for survival. Ten years ago, Nanqing could at least gather more than [-] troops, but now it can't be done. "

The rest of the people didn't speak, they just stared at Lu Youyun's exclusive seat in the past.Even Song Wan looked at the empty space with some haggard eyes, feeling jerky in his heart.

"Hold some and warm your hands."

Pushing the hand warmer from the maid's hand into Song Wan's arms, Wu Xixiang gently ran down her hair, silently comforting her.

Everyone couldn't lift their spirits until Caiji came to look for Song Wan. Song Wanfang hurriedly got up and went to Changxin Palace with her.

"aunt."

As soon as she saw Song Yuning, Song Wan rushed forward and looked her over carefully from top to bottom. Seeing that she didn't seem to be injured, she felt relieved.

"Aunt is fine."

Pulling Song Wan to her side, Song Yuning hugged her shoulders with distressed eyes.

"I heard that you were seriously injured by that old thing?"

"It's just a few hits, it's just that the pain of the flesh is nothing, but where is my aunt these days, has she ever been injured?"

Having not received any news from Song Yuning for a few days, Song Wan had already made the worst guess. Now that she saw her aunt again, her heart that had been hanging around for a few days was only three points at peace.

Song Yuning snorted, "It's hidden in Jiangman's Yanqing Palace."

"Her Yanqing Palace is empty, so my aunt hid there for a few days."

Gently stroking Song Wan's back, Song Yuning felt the obviously thinner girl under her palm, and her eyes were sore.

After she was rescued by Yuan Rong that day, she actually hid in the eunuch's room.

Although Yuan Rong suppressed the poison with a life-hanging medicine and saved her life, her body was severely injured, but Song Yuning did not want to tell Song Wan what she said.

"Do you know that in order to save the crown prince, Jiang Yi took Suhe's remaining troops and died with Qin Rao?"

Song Wanxiu frowned slightly and shook her head lightly.

Just then Jirong should have wanted to tell everyone about this, but she was worried that her aunt would leave in a hurry, so she didn't hear the news.

"After all, it is the seed of the old Hou Ye, not a coward."

Seeing that Song Wan was silent, Song Yuning said cautiously: "You two have known each other since childhood, it is human nature to be sad, but don't worry too much."

Song Wan shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It can be said that her relationship with Jiang Xingjian is not insignificant, but since entering the palace, she seldom thinks about the affairs of the Chengyang Hou Mansion.Now that she heard that Jiang Xingjian had passed away, Lin Jiayue knew what she was thinking, and she didn't know how she would react.

Song Wan said lightly: "It's just a little regretful."

"If he returns safely, he will be able to witness the birth of his own child, but now...he has no chance."

Song Yuning let out a long sigh when she heard the words, pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time.

Returning from Changxin Palace to Laiyi Pavilion, Song Wan discovered that there was a secret letter from Fengdong Factory on his dressing table, and there was also a wooden box the size of a palm.

"Eunuch Ji Rong sent it just now, and this servant put it on the stage for you."

Hengzhi brought a bowl of warming soup to warm Song Wan's body.

Putting the hot soup aside, Song Wan opened the letterhead on the stage first.

There was nothing special written on it, Shen Qianyu just briefly said a few words about how he felt when the reinforcements came from the court, and told her that everything was safe, except that it was about Jiang Xingjian, who added a few more sentences.

After reading the letter paper, Song Wan smiled lightly and wrote to Shen Qianyu.She briefly mentioned Lu Youjun's death due to Emperor Wen Hui, and told him that everything was fine with everyone in the East Palace, and she was just waiting for his safe return.

After writing the letter, Song Wan carefully handed the letter paper to Heng Zhi, and she opened the wooden box when Heng Zhi went to find Ji Rong.

In the wooden box is the white jade plum hairpin that she has treasured for many years.Song Wan picked it up and stared at it for a long time, then gently put it into the box, letting the brocade book be put into the cage.

"Luan Jian, I remember that you carved wooden hairpins twice in your suburban house, right?"

Luan Jian nodded: "The servants are busy carving to pass the time when they have nothing to do, and the work is not fine."

"Maybe trouble you to carve a simple one for me?"

"The slave will give it to Miss tomorrow."

Song Wan nodded, and put Luanjian to the courtyard to look for wood.

On the second day, after Song Wan received the wooden hairpin carved by Luan Jian, he found a box and asked the people from Dongchang to deliver it to Lin Jiayue in Chengyang Houfu.

Ever since the news of Jiang Xingjian's death in Suhe was received by Chengyang Hou's Mansion, there has been no sound and the door has been closed tightly.

Jiang's mother locked herself in the Jiangxiang courtyard overnight, while Lin Jiayue leaned on the beauty's couch with her belly in her arms, looking at the candlesticks in the room with a dull and empty expression.

"Sister Jiayue, the concierge sent something. They said it was delivered from the Su River to the East Palace, and the East Palace delivered it to the mansion."

"What did you send?"

Lin Jiayue took the wooden box and opened it casually, only to find a brand new wooden hairpin inside.

"But Master Hou sent it?"

Jiang Xing carefully peeked at Lin Jiayue, only to see that she was covering her face and weeping.

Holding the wooden hairpin, she cried and laughed, and after going crazy for a while, she slowly calmed down.

Worried that the ups and downs of her mood would affect the fetus in her womb, Jiang Xing stood by her side with a worried face.

"I'm fine."

Wiping away her tears, Lin Jiayue said: "It should be given by him. I saw him engraving these little things in Suhe in the past, and asked him to engrave some for me, but he kept refusing. Now..."

"It's fulfilled my wish in the past."

Gently pinching the wooden hairpin, Lin Jiayue put it in the bottom layer of the makeup box and put it away.

"He didn't give me this thing when I wanted it, but he brought it to me when I didn't want it. It shows that the two of us are destined for each other, it's destined."

Even so, Lin Jiayue's expression was much more relaxed than before.

After all, she once loved Jiang Xingjian with all her heart and soul, and hated him so much that she tossed and turned at night, wishing she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.But now, those hates and those loves are gone with the disappearance of that person.

That person was dead, and it was enough that he thought about her before he died, she didn't care about the rest, and wanted to let herself go.

Gently stroking her stomach, Lin Jiayue turned her head to Jiang Xing and said, "Help me find some food, and when you are full, go with me to the mansion to look for the stewards."

After Jiang Xingjian died, the Chengyang Hou Mansion suddenly became a land without an owner, and some troubles would surely arise.Jiang's mother can't stand on her feet, and now she meets a white-haired man to give a black-haired man, and she is afraid that she will suffer.

If she and Qingwei don't care about it, I don't know what will happen in this mansion.

Gently stroking her belly, Lin Jiayue's eyes showed a bit of motherly love.

For the sake of her child, she will definitely take care of the Chengyang Hou Mansion, even at all costs.
