extravagant big and square

Return until scattered.

In this way, in the early morning of the fourth day, when the deputy general searched for her everywhere but could not find anyone, everyone realized that something serious had happened.It's just that this matter is very important, and it has been delayed for many days, so the deputy general decided to go back first, and before leaving, he specially ordered the local government to search for Tang Huoqi's trace.

In fact, not to say that this move was not a fluke at all, it would be false - what if someone really found her in the past ten days?He really can't bear this shameful charge!

It's just that people disappeared inexplicably, and this happened in a borderland, so it's hard to avoid making people wonder...

"Crack!" A thick memorial was slammed onto the ground, and the people in the kneeling circle were all terrified by the movement.

"All of you can run back and tell me that I'm missing, but can I say that to Ji'er!" Sima Qing stared coldly at the group of people kneeling underneath and said angrily, "So many people, why don't they just disappear?" After losing the third son-in-law, you all came back safe and sound?"

"The emperor calm down! These three consorts..."

"Calm your anger? Can I calm this anger! Back then, I promised Ji'er that people would come back safe and sound, so you will really give me face!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! The disappearance of the three sons-in-law is unknown and happened at the border, maybe it's the person who has a heart..."

"You mean, someone did this on purpose?" Sima Qing calmed down and said in a deep voice.

Hearing that the emperor's tone softened, the subordinates hurriedly echoed, and for a while, all the blame was put on the unknown "intentional person".

It's just that Sima Qing is not the new emperor who has ascended the throne for the first time, so the words of shirking responsibility cannot be taken seriously.It's just that he is getting angrier and angrier the more he looks at this group of slaves who have messed things up.

"Although the son-in-law is related to the royal family, in the final analysis, it is not royal orthodox. If Beijiang really has evil intentions and wants to be an enemy of our Daxia, it would be too naive to do such a stupid thing as tying a son-in-law to threaten me!" Emperor Lian He raised his face and looked at the crowd and said, "Order to go on: if you live, you must see people and if you die, you must see corpses. As for what is going on, I will investigate carefully. The ministers above the fourth rank who went to escort the grain this time will be punished by one sentence." Half a year's salary. Ministers below the fourth grade, you can figure it out yourself!"

As soon as the words fell, before everyone had time to kowtow to thank, they could only hear the sound of hurried and broken footsteps outside the hall.

The emperor was obviously annoyed by this unruly voice, he said displeased: "What's going on outside the palace?"

The person outside the hall hesitated for a while, and then replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, the third princess just got the news that her son-in-law is missing, and she has already fainted. Now the imperial doctor is taking the pulse of the third princess. Would you like to go and see now or..."

"What are you waiting for, I'm going there now!" Sima Qing hurriedly put down the memorial in his hand and walked out of the hall.

Before leaving, Sima Qing suddenly turned his head and looked at the people who were still kneeling at the bottom, his eyes were cold.The corners of his mouth moved again and again, but he never said another word, just walked away.

Chapter 22

"Princess, the princess..." Sima Ji, who closed his eyes and rested on his pale face, covered the quilt, and Dongmei looked worried.

The imperial doctor took the pulse for a while and silently closed the thread, looked at Dongmei who was full of sorrow, hesitated and said again: "There is no serious problem with the body, it's just the princess's pulse..."

"How is the princess?" Dongmei asked.

"Miss Dongmei, has Her Royal Highness been unstable recently and has lost her appetite?"

"Yes, yes! I feel uncomfortable when I smell the food, and I always like to eat sour things..."

Sima Ji immediately opened his eyes, and said displeasedly: "Just speak up if you have something to say, what are you asking for? Since when are these private matters the imperial physician's business?"

"I don't dare!" The imperial physician bowed deeply to Sima Ji and smiled, "According to your pulse and reaction, princess, you have a happy pulse!"

Sima Ji struggled to sit up, frowned and stretched out his wrist, motioning for another consultation.

"Princess, you are more than one month pregnant, and this pulse can't be wrong." After taking the pulse again, the imperial doctor said convincingly, "There are signs of pregnancy, I have practiced medicine for more than ten years, and I don't even have a happy pulse." It's a wrong diagnosis. It's just that your pulse condition is particularly unstable, princess, you must remember to exercise and meditate, and don't worry too much about hurting your body!"

Looking at Sima Ji who was still frowning and silent, the imperial physician sighed silently.Sure enough, the relationship between the three princesses and the third son-in-law is not very good as rumored!Looking at the appearance of the princess, it is still a question whether the child can stay or not!

The imperial doctor thought about it so far, and seeing that Sima Ji didn't intend to ask him to question, she already guessed that she didn't want to keep this child as an heir for the third son-in-law.Silently sympathized with the third son-in-law, who is now desperate, and then took his own medical box and silently retreated.

"Princess..." Dongmei called softly, "You are not alone now, and you have to worry about the..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of shouting outside the door.

"The emperor is here!" As soon as the voice finished speaking, the bright yellow mass outside the door had already entered the hall from outside the door.

Sima Qing sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at his daughter worriedly, but turned to Dongmei and asked, "Is the imperial doctor here? What did you say?"

"Go back to the emperor. The imperial physician has come..."

"Father, is Huo Qi really...?" Sima Ji suddenly raised his head to look at Sima Qing and asked.Those flickering eyes clearly longed for a negative answer.

Sima Qing nodded his head as a response, just because the cruel answer was really hard to say.

"Ji'er, my father has sent people to look for it with all their strength. You can't just disappear without knowing why. You still need to see someone anyway..." Realizing what he said next, Sima Qing hurriedly stopped talking.

"Death to see the corpse?" Sima Ji pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to smile.It's just that the smile was light and weightless, as if it was a bubble, it disappeared in an instant.

The originally living soul was pulled out of the body as if it had been cramped and skinned, leaving only a dull shell that didn't know what pain was.

There is no time to cry, no time to mourn, no time to be angry.All the emotions are still brewing in that body...

"Princess!" Dongmei couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly stretched out her hands to slightly support Sima Ji, who was already crumbling, "You have to think about the child in your belly, you can't fall down!"

"Child?" Sima Qing was very surprised.

"The imperial doctor said it's been more than a month." When he mentioned this child, Sima Ji showed a faint smile, and began to caress his not protruding belly with both hands.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "The Tang family can be regarded as having a son... Ji'er, for the sake of this child, you should also cultivate your body well, and don't let the emperor worry about it."

Gently caressing his lower abdomen with both hands, Sima Ji bit his lower lip and nodded.Yes, this is her and Tang Huoqi's child.The tenderness and tenderness of that night, the entanglement of that night, finally left something behind.

The emperor sighed, and asked hesitantly, "Don't Ji'er blame the emperor for what happened?"

"Why do you blame me! It happened so suddenly, Father must be blaming himself very much. Although Ji'er is grieving, he has not yet reached the point of fainting." Contrary to his weakness just now, Sima Ji suddenly replied seriously, "Just ask Father The emperor thoroughly investigated this matter, and returned justice to the Tang family and Ji'er. As for Huo Qi..." Sima Ji bit his lips and said those words clearly, "As you said—— If you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!"

This is the only thing that can be done so far, Sima Qing solemnly nodded and was amazed by the calm and decisive aura that Sima Ji just revealed - it really is that women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.

The father and daughter talked for less than a moment, and the emperor saw the indistinct tiredness on Sima Ji's face, so he simply ordered everyone to serve him well, and Sima Qing drove away.

"Princess, sleep well, there are servants watching over here." Dongmei softly comforted her, while she lit the tranquilizing incense in the incense burner, closed the door and quietly guarded outside.

Sima Ji was lying on the couch with his eyes lightly closed, and he didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze.It was as if he had a dream in a trance, and he couldn't remember exactly what he dreamed of—it was just that he slept extremely restlessly, but it was real.

The two who were originally a couple ended up scattered in two places.One end is sleepy and restless, and the other end is deep sleep.

In a certain cold town, Tang Huoqi, who was lying peacefully on the bed, finally opened his eyes tiredly and slowly after sleeping for a few days...

"Are you awake? Let's drink this hot porridge first, you haven't had a drop of water in three days."

"I..." Just as I was about to speak, my mouth was too dry to move.

"I found you behind the vegetable market, and you were already unconscious at that time." The girl smiled at her, showing two beautiful canine teeth.

Tang Huoqi wolfed down half a bowl of porridge, and nodded half understanding.

"After you finish your porridge, go home quickly! It's been so many days, your family must be very anxious." After finishing speaking, the girl dragged out a few big cloth bags from a corner of the room, "This is when you were unconscious. Something to hold on to. I've seen it, and it's something like wheat and velvet ginseng slices. Don't forget to take it with you when you leave."

"Where am I going... Where are you going? Who are you?" After gulping down a bowl of hot porridge, his whole body warmed up immediately, and he even had the strength to speak.

Facing Tang Huoqi's questioning, the girl was not angry.She sat opposite Tang Huoqi with her head propped on her hands, and joked with a smile: "Of course I'm going back to your house, isn't it possible?"
