First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 892 The deep love between mother and son (second update)

 “Are you about to give birth?” Xiao Heng asked.

Princess Xinyang looked down at her belly and sighed: "I should have given birth a long time ago, but I just won't come out."

The delivery date was ten days later than grandma's calculation. The doctor would come over every day to check her pulse, which was still normal.

Xiao Heng probably understood why his aunt didn't mention his brother to his mother. It was not easy for his mother to get pregnant this time. If she came to find Shangguan Qing in a hurry, she might lose one or two lives due to the bumpy road.

 The world always takes a long time to digest bad news, but can adapt very quickly to good news.

 For Xiao Heng and Shangguan Qing, this little brother or sister is about to be born, and for Princess Xinyang, the lost son is also.

Xiao Heng knew that the two of them had a lot to say, so he stood up and said to Yujin, "Aunt Yujin, there is still some luggage on the carriage."

Yu Jin understood and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask someone to move it."

 “I’ll go too.” Xiao Heng and Yu Jin walked out together.

The door of the house was open, and heavy snow fell like feathers, turning the whole yard white.

Princess Xinyang is not used to being too close to men, but Shangguan Qing is her own flesh and blood, and she is someone she wants to get close to despite her psychological barriers.

When Xiao Heng was in the room, she restrained herself from showing too much, otherwise she would not want Xiao Heng to feel that she favored one over the other.

 Actually, she was confused because of her concern. Shangguan Qing had suffered too much. Xiao Heng felt that anyone should love him.

Princess Xinyang looked at Shangguan Qing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mom, can you sit here?"

 She was referring to the seat where Xiao Heng had been sitting just now, which was closer to Shangguan Qing.

"Ah, okay." Shangguan Qing responded blankly, glanced at her unable to move body and then quickly reacted, "I'd better sit over here!"

 Princess Xinyang smiled.

Princess Xinyang is a beauty who has been favored by time. The princess is so beautiful that she is aggressive and bright, and she is more like a green lotus on the Tianshan Mountains.

 Elegance, calmness, gracefulness.

Shangguan Qing had a sudden idea. From now on, when he looks for a wife, he will look for someone like his mother.

However, it seems there is no chance.

Princess Xinyang looked at her son intently, unable to get enough of him.

 She had many things in her heart that she wanted to say to her son, but when it came to her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

 Is he the only one who is nervous?

He was worried that Princess Xinyang would not like a son like him, and Princess Xinyang was also worried that he would not like her, a mother who had not raised him for a day.

"You..." Princess Xinyang opened her mouth and asked, "By the way, why didn't Jiaojiao come back with you?"

Shangguan Qing said: "The Jin Kingdom is still fighting, and she won't be able to come back for the time being. But don't worry, the most dangerous period has passed. Now the imperial army is sure of victory, and nothing will happen to her."

Besides, since the arrival of the Gu family army, the man named Gu Changqing has rarely let the little girl go to the front line.

 She is mainly responsible for staying in Quyang City and treating wounded soldiers.

Of course, this is also a very arduous task. After all, human life is at stake and every life is precious.

Princess Xinyang felt relieved a little: "So, have you met Long Yi?"

Shangguan Qing said: "I didn't meet him. Ah Heng said that he left. He only left after taking Ah Heng from the border back to the hinterland of Yan Kingdom."

It seems that Long Yi and Ah Heng have met.

Too.

Having been together for so many years, the one that Long Yi couldn’t let go of the most was Ah Heng.

 Before he goes to find his own answer, he will definitely say goodbye to Ah Heng.

However, she once thought that Long Yi’s answer lay in the country of Yan.

Now it seems that it is somewhere else.

Shangguan Qing didn’t know much about Long Yi. He only knew that he was the secret guard beside the princess. He watched Xiao Heng grow up and seemed to have some background. Now he is looking for his own past.

Princess Xinyang asked again: "Are you married?"

 This is a topic that parents all over the world cannot avoid.

 No, you asked everyone, why didn’t you ask my dad?

Shangguan Qing said truthfully: "I'm not married."

Princess Xinyang thought that he had been poisoned all these years and must have no intention of getting married. She stopped continuing the topic and asked, "Has your poison been cured?"

 This is the most important thing. Just now I was only focusing on my son and forgot the most important thing.

 “It’s solved.” Shangguan Qing said with a smile.

Princess Xinyang asked in confusion: "When was it solved? Isn't there nothing the Imperial Master's Palace can do?"

I have to say that mother’s intuition is powerful.

Shangguan Qing had already expected that she would have this doubt, and said according to the prepared lines: "There is a kind of comfrey, whose rhizomes can extract a very powerful poison. Only one person out of a hundred people can handle it. Like. As someone like me who doesn't know martial arts, the chance of survival is even lower. But as long as I get through it, all the pain and poison can be healed without medicine."

 Princess Xinyang's heart was lifted when she mentioned that this method was so fierce.

"This kind of comfrey is very rare. Fortunately, the Han family of Yan State planted a comfrey garden at the border. After the imperial army captured the Han family, they also confiscated their comfrey garden. I thought that I would die anyway. , why not give it a try. I almost didn’t come back alive to see you.”

As he spoke, he grabbed Princess Xinyang’s wrist aggrievedly, "The lithospermum poison is very powerful. I was in so much pain in those days..."

 The more details there are in something, the more trustworthy it will be.

Truth and lies, falsehood and reality, coupled with his coquettish behavior, it is really believable.

 Princess Xinyang was so happy that her son's sudden closeness made her head spin.

“Have you ever thought about what to do if mother doesn’t believe it? Mother is not that easy to fool, she is very smart.”

 “I have my own way.”

 It seems that the effect has been achieved.

 His mother was immersed in the joy of getting along with her son and lost her due judgment and suspicion.

 But in fact, even he himself couldn't tell whether he wanted to get close to his mother to achieve his goal, or whether he wanted to get so close to her in his heart.

Princess Xinyang raised her other hand and held her son's hand tightly. After finally calming down, her heart ached again due to his experience.

 “You have suffered.”

She choked and said, "From now on, my mother will never let you suffer again."

"Yeah." He nodded and gently pressed his cheek against the back of Princess Xinyang's hand, "My mother loves me the most, much more than my stinky brother! My stinky brother only knows how to make me angry!"

Princess Xinyang burst into tears.

 …

 After nightfall, the mother and son had dinner in the side hall.

Princess Xinyang looked at Shangguan Qing opposite with a smile and said, "Aheng said you don't eat fennel. I asked the cooks not to add spices. You can try it and see if it suits your taste."

Shangguan Qing has long lost any appetite for food. These days, he has to force himself to eat, or the accompanying medical officer will give him some rehydration.

 But looking at a table of exquisite and delicious dishes, he still moved his chopsticks and tasted each dish.

"Is it delicious?" Princess Xinyang asked with a smile, pretending not to notice his swallowing.

"It's delicious." Shangguan Qing said, "It's more to my liking than Yan cuisine."

Princess Xinyang smiled softly: "It's delicious, so don't eat too much. It's late at night, and it's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much."

Shangguan Qing paused with his chopsticks, the tip of his nose felt sore, and something came to his mind, but his face remained calm, and he hummed: "Okay, just eat less."

I can no longer eat it.

Each bite is an ordeal.

Xiao Heng looked at him, then at Princess Xinyang, and said to Shangguan Qing: "You just ate so many candied haws, do you still have a stomach? Don't burst it."

Princess Xinyang said hurriedly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you ate the candied haws? Then stop eating it."

“Oh.” Shangguan Qing looked at her deeply, lowered his eyes, and put down his chopsticks.

Xiao Heng said: "Brother... still wants to go back to Yan Kingdom."

Princess Xinyang’s hands buried under her wide sleeves tightened, and it took great effort to resist the urge to cry.

She looked at the two brothers with a slight shock on her face: "Really? Qing'er won't stay in Zhaoguo?"

Xiao Heng sighed secretly and continued acting with them: "My brother and I have discussed it, and we don't have to change our identities."

Princess Xinyang's sore throat slipped, she smiled and said, "When are you leaving?"

Xiao Heng said: "There is a war at the border, and the king of Yan Kingdom has just suffered a stroke. There is no one in the court to take charge of the overall situation. My brother must go back as soon as possible. Maybe it will only take these two days?"

Princess Xinyang held vegetables in her right hand, and the nails of her left hand dug deeply into the palm of her hand.

She looked at Shangguan Qing reluctantly, her eyes turning red unconsciously: "Then will you come back to see my mother?"

Shangguan Qing smiled and said, "Of course I can, right, brother?"

  Xiao Heng: “Yeah.”

 I will dress up as you and come back to visit my mother.

Princess Xinyang’s tears fell down with a pitter-patter sound.

Shangguan Qing looked at her forbearingly and hesitated to speak.

Princess Xinyang wiped her tears and said with red and swollen eyes: "I didn't expect you to leave just after you came back. Mom went to pack your things. Yujin!"

"Eh."

Yu Jin opened the curtain and entered, helping Princess Xinyang up from the chair.

 Princess Xinyang left the side hall and walked through the long corridor.

After turning the corner, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. In the snow and wind, she covered her face with her hands and cried tremblingly.

 …

In the room, Xiao Heng looked at Shangguan Qing helplessly: "Mom has noticed."

Shangguan Qing whispered: "I know."

Xiao Heng asked: "Then do you still want to leave?"

Shangguan Qing's expression was very calm. Every step he took was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a decision made from the beginning: "I can't die in front of her. I hope she remembers me... as I am alive."

  “A living son.”

“Rather than a corpse that could never be awakened in her arms.”

 “It will be a nightmare she won’t get away from.”

Baby: Dad, if you don’t hurry up, Oupoguo will be gone.
