1121: The Return of an Old Friend (29)

The Return of an Old Friend (29)

Shen Miao rolled her eyes at her. "There are many things I don't know."2

"For example?" Luo Tan asked excitedly.

"For example, I won't be as curious about everything as you."

Luo Tan said, "In any case… the hard time is about to end. You're about to give birth, and Brother-in-law is about to win the war. At that time, Uncle, my father, and the others will probably come over to reunite with us. Now looking back, the hardships we went through are nothing."

Shen Miao smiled. "That's right."

The hardships were worth it.

…

Xie Jingxing sent back good news not long after. Ming Qi had been destroyed. Seeing that peace was impossible, the emperor of the State of Qin fled north in a panic. Now, the soldiers of the Daliang Dynasty were rushing to the capital of the State of Qin. After occupying it, Xie Jingxing would return to the Daliang Dynasty first.

In a way, the war was over. Now, what they had to wait for was the triumphant return of the hero.

This was really the best news Shen Miao had received recently.

However… Shen Miao sighed. Xie Jingxing probably already knew about Emperor Yong Le and Empress Xiande's death. When he returned to the Daliang Dynasty and went to the imperial mausoleum to see the emperor, she did not know what he would feel. The last person in this world who was related to him by blood had already left.

However… he was not alone. At least he still had Shen Miao and his child.

Nanny Tao smiled and said, "Princess Consort Rui's pregnancy due date is estimated to be on the first of next month. There are still more than ten days left."

Luo Tan rubbed her palms together. "I'm really excited. I wonder if it's a little niece or nephew. I'm so curious. I guess it's a little niece. She'll be a beautiful little fairy."

"Not necessarily." Nanny Tao said, "It looks like a young boy."

Shen Miao smiled as she listened to their discussion. She had never felt so at ease.

After giving birth, when Xie Jingxing returned, perhaps the hardships and chaos of the past year would end.

However, in this world, there was probably nothing perfect. Even if the ending was good, there would definitely be twists and turns in the middle. At the end, there would still be some trouble, as if this was the only way to emphasize how precious and happy the ending was.

Just as Shen Miao thought that she was walking towards a happy life without a hitch, she encountered a huge problem.

…

The autumn day was bright and clear, and the weather was good.

Shen Miao sat in the courtyard. Today, she finished reading the memorials early. Luo Tan found a kite from somewhere and was playing with the maids in the palace. Even Shen Miao was affected by her laughter and couldn't help but smile.

Eunuch Deng quickly walked in with a rare solemn expression. When he saw Shen Miao, he gestured for her to walk into the inner hall.

Seeing that he seemed to have something important to say, Shen Miao was helped to the inner hall by Jingzhe. As soon as they arrived, Eunuch Deng said, "Princess Consort, bad news. The surviving members of the Lu family are attacking the city!"

"The surviving members of the Lu family?" Shen Miao frowned. "Wasn't the entire Lu family wiped out in Ruyang?"

"Among the surviving members of the Lu family, there is Second Miss Lu's husband. He is a military official and has raised a group of soldiers secretly. At that time, they were not in Long Ye, but in the suburbs outside Long Ye, pretending to be ordinary people. These people have been in contact with the Ye family. Back then, when the Ye family was in trouble, Ye Maocai gave these people a huge sum of money. Now that these people are well-equipped, they already plan to attack the city and are fighting with the city guards," Eunuch Deng said.
