On the second day after returning to Chu's house, everyone got on the carriage back to Beijing one by one under the supervision of the imperial minister. Fortunately, the imperial minister was still afraid of the identity of the head of Huating County. Except for Chu Shun, Chu Quan and Xue Jinxiu, the three
Except for the prisoners, everyone else is exempted from the penalty of being transported in the prison carriage and can ride in the carriage to Beijing along the way.
The carriage Chu Ling was riding in was the largest one, and it was guarded by the old lady and the Lord of Huating County along the way, allowing him to reach the capital smoothly even if he was seriously injured.
Halfway through the journey, Chu Ling finally woke up. The injuries on his body were too serious and he was groggy along the way. He had fever and fever again and again. It took a lot of effort by the head of Huating County to relieve his injuries.
Stabilize.
Hearing that Chu Ling had woken up, Shi Chunfen finally got the chance to meet him. This was the first time they had met since he was seriously injured and comatose. Just thinking about it made Shi Chunfen feel sour. After living in bed for a long time,
Chu Ling's muscles have obviously become much looser, but because of this, his whole body looks much softer, and he is no longer as fierce as before.
Shi Chunfen caressed his cheek and couldn't help but said, "How do you feel? Does the wound still hurt?"
Chu Ling shook his head, raised his right arm and held her palm, "I heard mother said you are pregnant?"
Shi Chunfen nodded with a smile, took his right arm and placed it on her abdomen. Although she was not pregnant yet, it could give Chu Ling some comfort.
The abdomen is the weakest part of the human body. Even when they were most intimate in the past, Chu Ling rarely touched this place. This time Shi Chunfen took the initiative to put his hand on it, and he immediately felt an unprecedented power.
"Is this our child?" Chu Ling felt the temperature on his palm blankly, feeling that the whole world had become softer.
"Yeah." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, with a smile on his eyes and brows.
Although her future in Beijing was uncertain, she still felt unprecedented happiness. Perhaps for a little girl like her, having a husband and children is a complete family.
Seeing her shy look, Chu Ling couldn't help but laugh. The wound was obviously so painful that he wanted to die, but looking at the woman in front of him, he felt that his whole body was full of strength.
After a simple laugh, Shi Chunfen saw that Chu Ling was in good spirits, so he couldn't help but ask him: "This trip to Beijing...do you know what mother's plans are?"
Seeing that this was what she was worried about, Chu Ling closed his eyes and said frankly: "I don't know either."
Originally, he wanted to ask Shi Chunfen what was going on in Beijing this time, but after hearing what she said, he knew that the head of Huating County had not disclosed anything to the Chu family, and it would be useless even if he asked.
"Oh." After hearing this answer, Shi Chunfen was obviously a little disappointed, but she did not continue to ask. Instead, she chose to help Chu Ling tuck in the quilt and comforted: "Then you take good care of yourself first. If the sky falls, there will be mother and me."
Hold on."
Chu Ling was successfully amused by her, "Are you pushing me? What are you using to push me?"
Shi Chunfen was just talking casually, but when he asked him, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and muttered: "I can't help with the affairs of the government, but I can still take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the whole family, otherwise you can
Who do you think arranged the carriage where you are lying so comfortably?"
Seeing that she was still proud of herself, Chu Ling smiled from ear to ear. Unexpectedly, he accidentally pulled the wound because he used too much force, and he gasped in pain.
Seeing his expression change instantly, Shi Chunfen became nervous and looked at him at a loss, "What's wrong with you? Is the wound hurting again? Do you want me to call the doctor for you?"
Chu Ling shook his head slightly, reached out and grabbed her arm, "It's okay, just stay with me."
This was the first time that Chu Ling showed his vulnerable side in front of her since they got married. Shi Chunfen was stunned, nodded subconsciously, and held his palm tightly, "Okay, I'll stay with you.
I will always be with you."
The two of them clasped their fingers together until Chu Ling fell into a drowsy sleep again. At the urging of the Huating County Lord and the old lady, he returned to his carriage. She wanted to stay with Chu Ling all the time, but unfortunately the old lady
Both the wife and the head of Huating County thought that she was pregnant and could easily bump into Chu Ling, so they firmly opposed her traveling with Chu Ling. She could only return to her carriage honestly and squeezed in with Ji Xiaoman and Yu Atu.
.
Seeing her coming back, the two immediately asked: "How is uncle?"
Shi Chunfen smiled bitterly and sighed, "I finally regained my consciousness, but the wound still needs to heal for a while."
"It's all my fault and the second master's fault." Ji Xiaoman blamed himself: "If it weren't for us, the uncle would not be injured like this."
"Don't be stupid." Shi Chunfen smiled at her, "This is a matter between the two brothers. What does it have to do with you? Don't take everything on yourself."
She said it so naturally, but Ji Xiaoman's eyes darkened when she heard it.
From the time of the incident until now, Chu Xiu refused to reveal to her what exactly happened, but it was clear from Shi Chunfen's tone that he knew the whole story.
How come the young mistress of the eldest family knows everything about the spring equinox, but she doesn’t know anything about it?!
Ji Xiaoman lowered his eyes, suppressed the strangeness in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't want to take it on myself, but we are just a husband and wife. Ah Xiu's fault is my fault. I also have a certain responsibility for things like this.
"
"You, you..." Shi Chunquin poked her forehead angrily, "Everything is fine, but she has too much sense of responsibility."
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, but unable to get a word in, Yu Atu became disappointed and silently looked outside the carriage.
Chu Ling was injured, Chu Xiu was injured, and Chu Run was the only one who had no faults at all, but still refused to ride in the same carriage with her.
The others are all real couples, but she is a young mistress in name only. I don’t know how long she can continue to live like this.
The carriage drove slowly and hurriedly, and finally arrived in the capital two months later. The original one-month journey was delayed twice as long. In the final analysis, it was because Chu Ling's injury was too serious.
He was too heavy to withstand the heavy bumps, and he was the lifeblood of the Huating County Lord. Even if the imperial ministers who escorted them were courageous, they would not dare to really force him to death, and could only let them delay all the way.
We have only arrived in Beijing now.
After arriving in the capital, everyone in the Chu family moved into the mansion of the county lord of Huating, and then the imperial envoy went to the palace to report and wait for the emperor to summon them.
Before that, they couldn't go anywhere, which was equivalent to being under house arrest in the county lord's mansion.
