After drinking big gulps of water, the father and son's vision gradually became clear.

"...Just now, you said that you were from Beicang? Why were the people of Beicang sent to join the army of the barbarians? Tell me in detail..." Xiao Jue looked at the two of them calmly, with no expression of joy or anger.

"..."

Looking at the extraordinary general coming towards them, the father and son looked at each other. They were filled with anger and pain that had been suppressed for several months and finally they were able to pour out to an outsider.

original.

The fate in this world is truly beyond words.

These two people were none other than Lin Acai's missing father and elder brother.

Of course, Xiao Jue had never heard Lin Acai mention that his father and elder brother went into the mountains and disappeared, so he naturally would not doubt their identities.

He listened carefully to the two people's stories about the past.

I remember that day, the two of them went into the mountains to hunt, but they were unlucky and encountered an adult black bear, which chased them all the way. While they were dodging, they accidentally fell off the cliff.

They thought that even if they escaped the black bear, they would still fall unconscious and lose their lives.

Unexpectedly, at this time they happened to meet a group of medicine dealers who went into the mountains to collect bear bile.

This group of people were kind-hearted. Seeing that the two men were unconscious, they rescued them and brought them back to their residence.

After a period of careful treatment and care, it turned out that they both had damaged their brains. Even when the drug dealer obtained the bear gall and planned to go south back to Hanchao City, they still showed no signs of waking up.

So, the drug dealer had no choice but to take the two of them back to Hanchao City.

After arriving here, they woke up soon after.

Then, after recuperating for a while, the two were about to say goodbye to the medicine dealer when the barbarians suddenly swept through their village.

Not only did they loot all the money and property in the village, they also captured hundreds of people and conscripted them into the army.

Among them were their father and son.

This bunch of barbarians and thieves are truly utterly devoid of conscience and capable of doing all kinds of evil!

Upon hearing this, the soldiers all clenched their fists, feeling extremely angry at the barbarians' unjust behavior.

After being captured by the barbarian army, the father and son lived in fear all day long and dared not let anyone know that they were from Beicang. In view of the barbarians' provocative attitude towards Beicang again and again, these people wanted to pull out the tendons, skin and drink the blood of the Beicang people.

At the same time, the father and son never gave up the idea of ​​escaping from this den of barbarians and thieves.

A few days ago, the father and son seized the opportunity and fled overnight, but when they had run more than ten miles, they were caught up by the barbarians on horseback and driven back.

In order to serve as a warning to others and prevent more people from following their actions, the barbarian deputy general ordered that the father and son be beheaded in public.

At this critical moment, the young general in front of Beicang Kingdom descended from the sky. By chance, he brought a group of soldiers and saved the lives of the father and son like a heavenly soldier.

Everything has been explained very clearly. It is exactly the same situation as when the soldiers of Beicang discovered them. Also, the two men's authentic Beicang accents sounded particularly familiar.

Xiao Jue slowly approached, helped the two men up, and signaled the soldiers to bring them some food.

"Don't worry, you are safe now. We were sent by the Emperor of the Northern Cang Kingdom to come all the way south to wipe out these barbarians and rebels. Now, there are two paths in front of you for you to choose..."

Two roads???

Xiao Jue spoke in a deep voice...

Lin Huaian glanced at his son and said, "Shiqing, what choice do you want to make? Dad has been making decisions for you all the way. This time, Dad will listen to you..."

Lin Shiqing's eyes were heavy. When he thought of what those barbarians had done to them before, he felt so angry that his teeth itched: "Dad! I don't want to go back! I want to follow the army of the Northern Cang Kingdom and kill all those barbarians. I won't be satisfied until I kill them all!"

"Okay... Dad will stay with you too!"

In this way, Lin Acai's father and elder brother were assigned by Xiao Jue to be personally led by Bai Jing, and they followed them southward.

......

On the other side, in Kyoto City, outside the gate of Lin Acai's house, the servant specially sent by Concubine Xiao had been waiting outside the gate for a full half hour.

Seeing that Miss Lin had finally returned from the clinic, Eunuch Xu hurried forward and patiently reminded her:

"Hey, young lady, I've finally got you back. Hurry up and don't go into the courtyard yet. Come with me to the palace. The queen wants to see you and has specially ordered this old servant to pick you up."

No matter how slowly she walked, Lin Acai still felt a little overwhelmed. After all, she was going to give birth in three months.

However, when she turned around and looked at the extremely luxurious sedan chair, she was still quite surprised.

I didn't expect that the lady in the palace was so considerate. Knowing that she was pregnant and afraid that she couldn't withstand the bumpy ride, she specially sent a sedan chair to pick her up.

"Okay... Thank you, Eunuch Xu, for making the trip in person." Lin Acai did not refuse and got into the sedan chair.

After walking for a while, he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said to the imperial sister who was accompanying him: "When you come with me to the palace later, stand guard outside the Queen's door. Without the Queen's order... remember not to go anywhere."

"I understand, girl." Although the royal sister didn't know what the girl meant, she always adhered to one principle: it would be right to listen to the girl in everything.

The sedan chair was carried all the way from outside the palace to inside and landed outside the empress's bedroom.

Afterwards, Lin Acai slowly walked out of the sedan chair and entered the palace gate under the guidance of the little palace maid.

Concubine Xiao was resting and taking care of her pregnancy in the bedroom. When she saw Lin Acai come in, she was helped to sit up by the palace maids and quickly invited her to sit next to her.

"It's really God's mercy and fate that we didn't expect that in just a few months... we would both get pregnant as we wished." Concubine Xiao said jokingly while stroking her bulging belly and looking at Lin Acai's belly with a smile in her eyes.

After many years, Concubine Xiao became pregnant with the emperor's child again. The emperor was afraid that he had wronged her due to his careless behavior, so he allowed the wife of Marquis Jingyuan and Lin Acai to enter and leave the palace freely to accompany her.

But even so, Concubine Xiao still didn't summon Lin Acai into the palace for the past two months because her period was getting worse and it was inconvenient for her to move around.

She was brought into the palace today because Lin Acai had mentioned before that after five months of pregnancy, she would be able to know in advance whether she was carrying a princess or a prince.

Although, Lin Acai just said it casually at the time and did not take it to heart.

But as the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it but the listener may take it to heart. Concubine Xiao counted the days and endured them, just waiting for this moment today.
