"Tonight, we will do it tonight!"

After saying this, Song Huaiyi turned around and walked out. Several servants outside the door hurriedly came up, and I heard his low voice sound: "Come horses immediately and let someone go to the Cui family to deliver a message..."

The people outside suddenly became panicked, and then he seemed to give a few more orders to make those people busy, with their footsteps being messy and hasty. Although I could no longer hear them, I could probably guess that he said that he would do something tonight, so naturally he would move Cangzhou City.

He wanted to conquer Cangzhou while Cangzhou City had already begun to die and the combat power of the soldiers guarding the city would inevitably decline!

At this time, my heart suddenly became confused.

It was about to fight, of course, this was the least welcome thing for me, but I always felt that there was something wrong. I was frowning and thinking about it, and I felt that there was someone close by. When I looked back, it was Xie Feng who had been standing by the side before. He walked to the bed and leaned over and said, "Miss Yan, it's time for us to go back."

"Ah? Go back?"

I hesitated for a moment, subconsciously didn't want to go back, so I said, "I came just now, and-"

"Ms. Yan, I still have something to deal with, so I can't delay it here. Besides, Old Mrs. Zhang is not in good spirits, so I don't think Miss Yan is suitable for staying here anymore."

As he said that, he glanced at the old man on the bed.

Old Mrs. Zhang squinted her eyes slightly, not knowing whether she was asleep or looking at us, but no matter what, Xie Feng's confident tone at this moment was not discussed at all, and he must take me away.

I thought about it, but I didn't fight him, so I stood up on the edge of the bed: "Okay."

When we walked out, there were only a few servants who had been here before, and they all saluted us. Xie Feng took a few steps and said, "Miss Yan, it's better to go back and rest first."

"I know," I nodded, but the pace under my feet did not speed up: "If you walk alone, you will be faster than if you walk two of me. If you really can't get there, just leave first."

“…”

Xie Feng glanced at me and didn't say anything.

And I moved forward step by step, my mind was also turning rapidly—

Just now, when I saw the black smoke rising from Cangzhou City on the small building, I was completely sure of my previous guess.

According to my past experience at Hongyan Tower, I know very well that it will take about seven or eight days for a normal person to starve to death, but this is under normal circumstances. There was insufficient food in Cangzhou City, or there was no food in it, and the people inside have been hungry for these days, so they had just stopped attacking and started to die in large numbers on the fifth day.

Only by sieging the city can they survive.

A more specific guess is that someone is taking advantage of the attack to transport food to the city. Now he is in a state of siege and not attacking, and the food cannot be transmitted, so people are dead.

The person who did this was under Pei Yuanxiu's command, and among this group of people, there were people who were inclined to Cangzhou City.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but suffocate my breath.

Feeling my body twitching suddenly, Xie Feng immediately frowned and turned to look at me, but saw me covering my stomach and slowly bent down. His expression, which was already a little impatient, suddenly became nervous. He hurried over and reached out to support my arm: "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?"

"My, my stomach—"

"What's wrong with your stomach?"

“A little uncomfortable…”

He was frightened. It was probably okay to say anything else, but there was no room for maneuver when it involved the fetus in my stomach. He held me with one hand, raised his head and shouted loudly at the surroundings. Soon, several servants ran over. When they saw me like this, they immediately brought the rattan chair and let me sit on it and return to the room. As soon as they lay down, the doctor was invited by them.

Just like before, I will take my pulse immediately.

And taking advantage of the moment of tranquility, I immediately fell into the deep thoughts I had just been thinking.

Since I can understand this, Pei Yuanxiu can understand it even more. Maybe this matter is a trap he had set before. After a few days of siege and not attacking, he judged that someone on his side was inclined toward Cangzhou City, and he knew that someone took advantage of the opportunity to attack the city gate to transport food into the city.

Then, of course, he will find this person next!

In this case, whoever proposes to attack Cangzhou first may be the one who has connections with Cangzhou and tends to them!

Just now, Song Huaiyi felt sorry for his mother at the begging of Old Lady Zhang, and decided to attack Cangzhou City tonight...

Could it be him?

If it weren't him, then what about the real person.

Will he really fall into the trap and take advantage of the opportunity tonight-

The more I thought about it, the more nervous I felt. The heart beating in my chest was like being pinched tightly by a black hand, and even breathing became difficult. The doctor had been diagnosing the pulse for a long time, and his face became a little unpleasant. He raised his head and said softly: "Please show off his golden face, Miss."

I nodded, and immediately a maid came over and lifted the curtain apart.

The doctor only glanced at it, frowned and said, "Have you been stimulated recently? I have said before that the lady's pulse is a scattered pulse. The fetus is unstable and it must not be stimulated. You must be calm and rested."

After he said this, Xie Feng, who was standing aside, couldn't speak.

I exhaled, a little like a sneer, and a little like helplessness. Then I looked up and looked at Xie Feng, and said, "Mr. Xie, didn't you say you had something to do? I'm already lying here, so you can do your own business."

He heard the ridicule in my words, but his face did not change, and he just said in a low voice: "Miss's safety is important."

I smiled faintly: "I can't worry about you."

"Don't dare."

The doctor was also a smart person. He could see at a glance that the sarcastic and unharmonious relationship between Xie Feng and I did not interrupt, nor did he get involved. Instead, he waited until we finished speaking and said carefully: "Fortunately, there is no worse situation. I will first prescribe a decoction for the lady to take. When the symptoms go down, then recuperate."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! As he said that, he walked to the table and started writing the prescription.

When he was almost finished writing, I said softly: "Doctor, prescribe me another pair of medicine to help me with sleep."

"Concentration helps sleep?"

The doctor was stunned, and Xie Feng immediately asked, "What do Miss Yan want this medicine to do?"

I glanced at him: "Didn't Mr. Xie hear that Mr. Song said he would attack the city tonight?"

“…”

"When I first came, I couldn't sleep well because I was making noise all night. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight. I can't sleep with my ears all night."

“…”

He had nothing to say, and just nodded to the doctor.

The doctor immediately took the order and lowered his head and prescribed a prescription. Soon, a servant came to take two prescriptions and took them down to pick up the medicine and boil the medicine.

Xie Feng stood in my room for a while, and seemed to finally feel that there was no need to stay any longer.

He said softly, "Please have a good rest and say goodbye." Then he turned around and walked out. Before leaving the door, he seemed to have told Hua Zhu a few more words outside. When I heard it, I heard him say in a low voice: "No matter what, today, you can't be careless anymore. You don't need to patrol and check other places. The people of the Song family will naturally protect this yard. Just move a chair and sit in front of the windowsill, and don't allow anyone to enter this room... and try your best to stop Miss Yan and don't let her leave this room."

Hua Zhu said seriously: "The disciple knows."

I raised my eyebrows.

He was more strict in guarding me than in guarding against the "enemy" in Cangzhou City.

After dinner, the surroundings of the Song family became quieter. Before I had eaten, I drank the fetal pill prescribed by the doctor. When it was almost dark, the medicine for concentrating the mind and helping sleep was delivered to the house.

I was sitting on the couch by the window and flipping through a book of chatter under the candlelight. The maid brought the medicine in. I said without raising my head: "Put it aside, I'll drink it when it gets colder. You go out."

"yes."

The maid walked out and brought the door with her hand. At the corner of my eyes, Hua Zhu was sitting outside, close to the windowsill.

The reason why Xie Feng let her sit there was probably because he wanted to block me from the way I could go out if I was playing tricks.

However, after all, I have a child in my belly, which is not as bold as he thought, and I want to go through the window.

While there was no one in the room, I took the incense burner on the small table next to me, uncovered the lid, and a ball of smoke inside rushed up. I took the small bowl of medicine and gently dripped a few drops of medicine in it.

Immediately, the fragrance of plum blossoms emitted from the incense burner added a little undetectable medicinal fragrance.

Then, put the incense burner back on the windowsill, and then gently flashed on the incense burner with the book in your hand.

The pages of the book made a thud, just like the sound of me flipping through the book.

The smoke coming out of the incense burner slowly floated towards the window as the pages of the book swung, quietly flowing out of the gap.

After a while, I dripped a few more drops and slapped them a few more times.

The sky slowly became dark.

While I was fanning the book in my hand at a constant speed, I chatted with Hua Zhu all the time—

"Hua Zhu, you haven't seen Yunshan for so long, do you miss her?"

"Uh, I still miss her."

"I'd love if she followed her, wouldn't she?"

"But she was ordered to stay in Jinling to protect Miss Han Er, the master told her."

"Your master is careful."

"Yes……"

"Actually, it's better for her to stay in Jinling than us. The winter in Jinling is so warm. The wind is soft. When it blows on her face, it's numb and itchy..."

Although I didn't drink that medicine, my spirit became less and less good as time passed. My eyelids seemed to be heavy. I could only pinch my thighs hard to wake myself up, but my mouth kept chatting with Hua Zhu, not giving her any rest time.

Soon, the hour of Xu passed.

The night became quieter and the atmosphere almost made people sleep, but I was still chatting with her, and Hua Zhu was honest. I would answer any questions whenever I asked, as long as the secrets of her and her master were not involved.

Time passes by little by little.

My voice slowly became slow, and Hua Zhu's voice also became softer from its original crispness. At the end, her voice became more and more vague. Even when I spoke several times, I felt her head bit by bit.

I yawned a long time: "Ah——I'm asleep."
