Zhao Rui did not stay here any longer and went straight to the queen's palace.
During this period, Xiao Yu'er has been lying on the bed, saying nothing and not eating anything. If Murong Bing hadn't coaxed and tricked her into eating something, she would have starved to death.
The only hope that kept her alive was the child in her belly.
These are Zhao Rui's flesh and blood, and if Zhao Rui really can't come back, they are her only thoughts.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu'er looked at the food on the table, then stood up and wanted to go over and have a few bites, but as soon as she got out of bed, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"I have already said that no one is allowed to enter the palace casually. Have you eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard?"
But as soon as she said these words, Xiao Yuer suddenly realized that the person standing in front of her was Zhao Rui.
She was stunned for a moment, with a face full of disbelief, and then rubbed her eyes again, until she was sure that the person standing in front of her was Zhao Rui, she immediately jumped out of bed like a little rabbit and threw herself into Zhao Rui's arms.
"Is it really you? You're really not dead!"
Zhao Rui grabbed Xiao Yu'er's shoulders and wiped the tears from her cheeks.
"Do you really want me to die?"
Xiao Yuer shook her head repeatedly: "No way!"
Zhao Rui chuckled lightly, then helped Xiao Yu'er sit on the edge of the bed, placing one hand on her lower abdomen.
It has only been less than two months, and Xiao Yuer's belly has not bulged significantly, but it is still slightly bigger than before.
"Look how thin you have become. I heard from His Majesty that you haven't eaten well these days."
Xiao Yuer repeatedly denied: "I have a good meal!"
She quickly ran to the table, picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth.
Zhao Rui hurriedly stepped forward: "It's already cold. No matter what, you have to let the imperial dining room heat up!"
Xiao Yu'er immediately asked the palace maid outside to deliver these meals to the imperial dining room.
Zhao Rui rubbed Xiao Yuer's head.
"No matter what, you are the queen of Dashang, you must treat yourself well!"
Xiao Yu'er had never been told such words before, and her heart that had been cold for more than a month warmed up again.
"I understand, so when you come back this time, are you still leaving?"
Zhao Rui gently stroked Xiao Yu'er's long hair.
"I will send envoy Rouran to unite with them to destroy the Xiongnu!"
"Ah!" Xiao Yu'er's pretty face became disappointed again: "You're leaving as soon as you come back, why don't you rest for two days?"
Zhao Rui's eyes were full of tenderness: "Only when Dashang is stable, can you and our children be safe!"
Xiao Yuer's heart suddenly surged. She had already said this, and it would be foolish for her to stop him.
"Wait a minute!"
Xiao Yu'er dug out a piece of pure white jade from the bedside, still stained with blood red.
"This is my personal jade. When I was young, I asked a master from Santai Mountain to consecrate it. You can keep it with you to keep you safe!"
Zhao Rui didn't say anything more. He took Bai Yu and hugged Xiao Yu'er gently before leaving with Li Fei.
The fifteen border cities are considered peaceful these days under the governance of Shan Xin.
