Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1775

Tang Chujun saw that his daughter's originally plump cheeks were now sunken and her face was frighteningly pale. The most shocking thing was her bulging belly, which was like an upside-down pot pressing on her thin body.

A moment of sadness came from it.

Before he could say a word, tears already flowed down his cheeks.

Shi Anxia was a stubborn person, her eyes became even calmer, "Then mother said."

Yao Sheng turned his back, tears streaming down his face.

The curtain moved, and Shi Yunqi, wrapped in frost and snow, stood at the door, but did not move forward. "Xia'er, go sit down first. I'll come in after I shake off the snow and tell you in detail."

Shi Anxia was very obedient. He looked at his brother deeply, his heart sank again and again, and then he followed Bei Hui's support and sat back on the couch.

She waited, waiting for definite news.

Shi Yunqi hesitated, slowly took off his frost-covered shawl and handed it to the servant beside him, then took the hot water bottle handed to him by Nan Yan. The warmth from the copper stove instantly penetrated his stiff and white knuckles.

He stood there for a while, letting Nan Yan brush away the coldness from his body, before he stepped inside.

When passing by Tang Chujun, Shi Yunqi paused and said softly, "Mother, mother, you two go back to Yu Sheng Pavilion and rest first. Leave this to me."

Tang Chujun and Yao Sheng left with tears in their eyes.

Shi Yunqi walked closer and sat on a low stool beside the couch, remaining silent for a long time.

Shi Anxia did not urge him, but tilted her head slightly towards him. She just clenched and unclenched her fingers, trying to hold back the blood and energy surging in her chest.

There were only two people in the room.

Shi Yunqi finally spoke, "It is unknown whether my brother-in-law is alive or dead."

In just six words, he seemed to have used up all his strength.

Shi Anxia's face was calm, but there was a ripple in her eyes, "But life or death is uncertain?"

It was also six words, but she felt relieved. Her tense shoulders relaxed imperceptibly, and her tightly clenched fingers loosened quietly.

In her opinion, the uncertainty of life and death is much better than hearing the news of death in battle. Especially for people like Cen Yuan, it almost means "alive".

Shi Yunqi nodded slightly, but he was not as optimistic as her. Sometimes, "uncertainty about life and death" is just a chance for the living to have a moment of reverie and respite.

His fingertips unconsciously rubbed the lines on the hot spring bottle. "The emperor wrote a secret letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, saying that there was a great victory in Tiema City. The battle was over, and when it was time to finish, Ma Chuyang was deceived by a girl..."

In this matter, we really can’t blame Ma Chuyang entirely for trusting others.

The truth was that the girl was originally from Beiyi, and during the war, she had actively led the royal army, so she looked very trustworthy.

It would be easy for a trustworthy person to lead the young generals of the northern wing into the encirclement of the Wan people.

The girl's name is Su Qiurong. Her real identity is not only the stepdaughter of He Shuo, the governor of Wan State in Tiema City, but also a hidden chess piece of the other party in Tiema City.

Since it is a hidden chess piece, it is naturally concealed, and few people have seen Su Qiurong's true face.

Her mother was beautiful and married He Shuo as a concubine after her husband died. The mother and daughter had already considered themselves as Wan people and enjoyed wealth and splendor.

Su Qiurong was favored by He Shuo and received a high salary from the State of Wan.

The king's army's recapture of Tiema City undoubtedly shattered the mother and daughter's dreams of wealth and glory.

Su Qiurong saw that the king's army was coming and the Wan people were defeated. In order to give He Shuo and her mother a chance to escape, she disguised herself as a civilian and led the army to the back mountain, where she captured the fleeing Wan soldiers.

She made great contributions and gained the trust of Master Wang.

She was wearing a coarse linen dress, with whip marks on her neck. Her bare feet were frozen blue in the snow, and she looked like she had escaped from the dungeon of Wan State. Anyone who saw her would think she was a tortured woman from the North Wing.
