"I'm worried about you, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
Shiqing lay on Ming Qingyue's shoulder and burst into tears. She was not an iron man, she also had feelings and was fragile.
"Well, I promise you, I will come back well and see you and the baby."
"Pfft, the baby didn't even come out."
Shi Qing laughed through tears and punched Ming Qingyue on the back. The two of them just sat there, Shi Qing hugged Ming Qingyue and sat on his knees.
The two of them just hugged each other and sat quietly for a long time.

※After one month
In April, the weather gradually becomes warmer.
Half of the jasmine flowers outside have withered, but the peach blossoms and pear blossoms fill the yard with their fragrance.
Shiqing felt more and more bored by herself, so she lay on the window sill and looked at the flowers outside, occasionally reaching out to pick one. Ruyue came in with honey water, and when she saw Shiqing just sitting like that, she hurriedly brought a cloak over.
"Although the weather is getting warmer, I still need to take care of myself."
After saying that, the cloak was already placed on Shi Qing's back.
Shiqing suddenly turned around and saw Ruyue, squinting her eyes and laughing.
"Why didn't Cai'er come today?"
It has been a month since Ming Qingyue and Ming Yi both left the imperial capital, armed with strong weapons and taking command in person.
Every day, Cai'er would come to the palace and wait with Shi Qing for news from the front line.
There were few people who could be relied upon for matters in the court, so a system almost similar to the separation of powers was adopted.
The prime minister is responsible for drafting documents, the ministers review them, and the ministers implement them.
The left prime minister now has two sons. One is on the run for his life, and the other is in the prison for committing a crime. The youngest son is even more miserable and plays cricket all day long.
And the one in the harem has long been disfavored and imprisoned in the cold palace.
Zuo Xiang sighed. He regretted it. If he hadn't listened to Gu Pan's slander and sat down to be his prime minister, it wouldn't be his turn today.
"Your Majesty, the princess is not here, but a girl is here."
Ruyue didn't know whether she should report it or not, but she saw that girl had been kneeling outside for a long time.
"Let her in."
Not long after, a clever-looking girl came in and saw the clues very accurately. She quickly knelt down and started crying.
"Your Majesty, I have seen your Majesty."
This girl looked strangely smart, but Shiqing didn't like her. She felt like she was an unreliable person at first sight.
He waved casually, signaling her to get up.
"Which palace is it? But you have committed a crime and come to me to rescue you?"
After speaking, Shi Qing stood up slowly, motioned to Ru Yue to help her up, and sat on the couch.
The girl also changed directions, kneeling with tears still on her face.
"This slave is here to serve Gu Meiren, but the empress knows that she has a bad temper. Now that she has become a commoner, her temper is even worse. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
After saying that, he raised his sleeves, and his fair arms were covered with scars.
It was obvious that he was beaten frequently.
It turned out that this was the case. Shiqing waved her hands helplessly, feeling a little tired.
"Since you are a commoner, you don't need anyone to serve you." As soon as she said this, it was obvious that the girl had a successful smile on her face.
It was just what Shiqing said that made her face darken again, "Ruyue, please arrange for her to go to the Clothing Bureau."
That girl followed Ruyue out, still feeling very unhappy.
After following Gu Pan for so long, she had also experienced a lot of things. But the scar just now was not caused by Gu Pan, but by herself.
Humph, there is no way to ask her to serve that woman!
At this moment, the woman is probably going to die of illness.
