Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and turned to look at Ji Xiaosong. His tone instantly softened: "Madam, you have traveled a long way and are tired. Please go to my tent to rest. I will take care of things here."

Ji Xiaosong nodded gently: "Husband, please be careful."

Afterwards, Xiao Shen summoned a trusted soldier and instructed him, "Escort the lady to my tent. Protect her well and do not be negligent in the slightest."

After Ji Xiaosong left, Xiao Shen turned to the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, this matter needs further consideration."

The Crown Prince stood up: "Let's go and gather all the generals to discuss countermeasures."

Xiao Shen and the Crown Prince went to the main camp and summoned all the generals.

On the other side.

Ji Xiaosong arrived at Xiao Shen's tent and saw that the tent was simply and neatly furnished, with a low couch in the corner covered with thick bedding.

In the center of the tent was a wooden table with military maps and documents on it.

On a shelf to the side hung Xiao Shen's armor and sword, exuding a chilling aura.

Ji Xiaosong sighed softly and began to tidy up.

She tidied up the documents on the table and folded the bedding again, making the entire tent look more cozy and orderly.

The entire set of movements was gentle and skillful, as natural as if she were at home.

After tidying up, Ji Xiaosong sat on the edge of the couch, and a wisp of white mist, now shrunken to the size of a coin, drifted over.

[Ah Song, will Xiao Shen ask you in detail about your trip to the North later?]

"I don't know. One lie requires multiple lies to cover it up. I'm also afraid of making some logical mistakes, so I might as well just be vague and deal with it when the time comes."

So... how long do you plan to stay here?

"Wait until we return in triumph?"

Xiao Shen and the others might not want you to stay until then.

"Then let's find a way to force him to leave me here."

Ji Xiaosong yawned; she was extremely sleepy.

As dawn broke, I realized I had stayed up all night.

Less than an hour later, Xiao Shen returned to his tent.

He tiptoed in, his gaze immediately drawn to Ji Xiaosong, who was still somewhat sleepy in her dreams, by the bedside.

Xiao Shen slowly approached, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.

He gently bent down, lightly brushed away a few stray hairs from Ji Xiaosong's forehead with his fingers, then leaned forward slightly and carefully pulled Ji Xiaosong into his arms.

As Ji Xiaosong slept, she seemed to sense something and mumbled a few indistinct words. Xiao Shen listened intently but couldn't make out what she was saying. He only found her appearance extremely adorable.

He smiled and placed a feather-light kiss on Ji Xiaosong's forehead, then held her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.

Seemingly sensing Xiao Shen's warmth, Ji Xiaosong subconsciously snuggled closer to him, her arms wrapping around his waist, softly murmuring, "Husband..."

Xiao Shen's heart softened instantly. He hugged Ji Xiaosong tightly and lay down on the couch with her, feeling each other's presence.

Ji Xiaosong slept soundly until the afternoon before finally waking up.

She opened her eyes and found that Xiao Shen was no longer beside her. Only the lingering warmth reminded her that last night's embrace was not a dream.

I sat up, rubbed my eyes, still feeling a little sleepy.

She composed herself and began to tidy her clothes and hair.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the tent. Ji Xiaosong's heart tightened, wondering who it was.

"Madam, would you like any servants to attend to you?"

A middle-aged woman's voice rang out from outside the door; it sounded very cheerful.

Ji Xiaosong composed herself and said, "Come in."

The old woman lifted the tent flap and came in, bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Madam. The general instructed me to come and serve you."

Ji Xiaosong nodded slightly: "Thank you for your trouble, Grandma. May I ask how to address you, Grandma?"

The old woman smiled and said, "Madam, you're too kind. Just call me Li San Niang. I'll help you wash up first." With that, she carried the basin of water to Ji Xiaosong.

After washing up, the old woman brought Ji Xiaosong some food and said, "Madam, this was specially prepared for you by the General. Please have some."

Looking at the food in front of him, Ji Xiaosong felt a warmth in his heart and asked, "Where is the general now?"

"The general is busy with military affairs and probably won't be back for a while. However, he instructed that you, Madam, should rest in your tent and not worry about anything else."

Ji Xiaosong nodded gently and began to eat slowly.

The food was simple, but it was quite plentiful.

There were a few coarse grain steamed buns, a bowl of congee, a small dish of pickled vegetables, and a few pieces of smoked meat.

Ji Xiaosong was halfway through her meal when Xiao Shen lifted the tent flap and walked in.

"Is the food to your liking, Madam?" Xiao Shen asked with concern.

Ji Xiaosong put down her bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile, "I'm naturally used to what my husband arranged."

Xiao Shen sat down next to Ji Xiaosong. "It is my fault for making my wife suffer here with me."

"Being with my husband makes me feel no hardship. Husband, has what happened last night been resolved?"

Xiao Shen glanced at Li San Niang and said, "You can go down now."

Li San Niang responded with a "Yes" and left the tent.

After Li Sanniang left, Xiao Shen grasped Ji Xiaosong's hand and said, "Madam, we have made some progress on last night's matter. I have ordered some of the problematic weapons and provisions to be secretly replaced, and we have also strengthened our defenses. However, this matter is not yet completely resolved and we still need to discuss it further."

"Only a part was replaced? Why? Is it because there weren't any suitable replacements?" Ji Xiaosong asked, frowning.

"Indeed, Chen Kingdom may seem peaceful and prosperous at present, but in recent years His Majesty ordered me to fight on all sides, which has emptied the national treasury. Otherwise, King Qi would not have dared to launch a rebellion at this time."

"Furthermore, I have discussed this matter with the Crown Prince and the generals, and we plan to set a trap to lure out the person behind this evil. However, there may be some risks involved in the process."

"My lady, I am so grateful for your risky trip to inform us. If it weren't for you, the Crown Prince and I would still be in the dark, and the consequences would be unimaginable. I truly don't know how to thank you enough."

Ji Xiaosong looked at Xiao Shen, "Husband, no matter what, I believe in you. There's no need for thanks between husband and wife."

Moved, Xiao Shen embraced Ji Xiaosong tightly. "My wife, with your trust in me, I will do everything in my power to protect you."

Suddenly remembering something, Ji Xiaosong's eyes lit up, and she gently pushed Xiao Shen away.

“Husband, since you don’t have that much, then the King of Qi must have it, right? I’ve heard that although the climate in the north is harsh, with about half the year being winter, the soil there is fertile and the grain yield is very high.”

"The people of the north have a long-standing habit of hoarding grain, so the King of Qi must have hoarded a lot of grain. As for weapons, since he has already launched a rebellion, he must also possess a large quantity."
