In the battle of Chenjiagu, the Great Zhou and Liao Kingdom suffered heavy blows. The war stopped a little. Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao Kingdom wanted to consolidate his internal affairs. If he didn't take action, he immediately retaliated against the Great Zhou. On the Great Zhou side, Emperor Xuande withdrew Cao Yu, Pan Xun, Wang Sheng and other generals in a row, demoted the officials and exiled, and then activated a group of veterans to lead troops to defend the border to prevent the Liao Kingdom from moving south.

Without the war, the situation in the capital became even more tense. The Northern Expedition was defeated and the general Li Jizong died tragically. An official in the court wrote a letter to express the faults of Emperor Xuande. While commemorating General Li, the people also felt that the emperor of the dynasty was a coward and always defeated the war after ascending the throne. Emperor Xuande's prestige plummeted.

Emperor Xuande was in the palace, but he had countless spys of his eyeliner, and he knew everything he should have known. He had a toothache, but this time he added fuel to the fire, and half of his face was almost in pain and swollen. He invited several famous Taoist priests from the rivers and lakes to come to the palace to treat him.

At the end of April, King Gong and his wife returned to Beijing. Neither King Gong wanted to see each other. Even the emperor did not go to see him. The car driver went back to Prince Gong's mansion and stayed in the door since then. Emperor Xuande missed his son and took King Rui and brothers Zhao Heng to visit him. When he walked to the door, there was a thunderous sound of thunder smashing things. Then King Gong's curse: "Get out, get out of here!"

If a general loses his arm, he is like a woman disfigured from his face. How can he calm down in a moment?

Emperor Xuande felt very distressed and asked King Rui and Zhao Heng to wait in the yard, but he went in alone.

Li Mulan was in the general's mansion and was guarding his grandfather. King Gong was lying alone with his back to the bed. Seeing his son's empty right arm, Emperor Xuande burst into tears. He quickly walked to the bed and hugged his son and burst into tears. King Gong dared to lose his temper with his servants, but he did not dare to push his father away. He didn't want to push him, and closed his eyes and swallowed: "Father, son is useless..."

He was useless and could not save his grandfather, which made her cry and break her heart.

He was useless, and he broke an arm and was disabled, so he was not worthy of her.

He was useless. The prince personally fought for the battle, but was defeated by the Liao Kingdom and lost the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When people are on the battlefield, they live and die. King Gong has no time to be inferior and blame himself, but on the way back to Beijing, King Gong only felt discouraged and would rather die than live in such a disabled life.

Both father and son cried, and the voices reached the courtyard. King Rui lowered his head and sighed. Zhao Heng couldn't bear it either. Although he and King Gong had no brotherhood, King Gong went to the battlefield to defend his country. Zhao Heng sincerely admired him.

Because King Gong was emotionally excited, Zhao Heng and King Rui were not allowed to visit the house. They comforted each other through the doors and windows, and the two brothers returned to the house respectively. Song Jianing didn't know that General Li died in battle, and King Gong broke his arm. Zhao Heng didn't say anything, and no one around him dared to tell her that he was raising a baby in the palace with a big belly, and he could be said to have turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window.

Someone wanted her to know.

Zhao Heng had just returned home and was changing clothes in the front yard. The manager suddenly came and reported, saying that Princess Rui was visiting her and wanted to visit the princess.

Zhao Heng sneered and said to Eunuch Fu: "The princess is not suitable to meet guests with her baby."

Eunuch Fu lowered his head and left the inner room, looked at the direction of the door, and whispered to the manager: "Go and tell Princess Rui that he will not see any guests before the princess gave birth." Princess Rui is really stupid. He doesn't come early or late. At this time, are all fools in the Shou Palace?

"I understand." The manager understood it and quickly walked out of the palace gate. Without any hesitation, he passed the words of the Grandpa Fu to Princess Rui in the carriage.

Princess Rui was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Yesterday she just learned that Chen Xiu had been pregnant for three months and had been hiding it. She deliberately hid it from her. Princess Rui felt uncomfortable all night and wanted to come and see Song Jianing. Song Jianing's fetus was just in a tragic defeat in the Northern Expedition of the court, and she must be depressed. She added fuel to the fire and told the story of Prince Gong's broken arm and Li Mulan's grandfather. Maybe...

Who would have thought that Song Jianing was so careful that she would not even let her meet in person?

After lifting the curtains, Princess Rui glared at King Shou's inner courtyard and secretly cursed Song Jianing's fetus to continue giving birth to a daughter.

Song Jianing just ate an apricot here. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the apricot was not ripe and sour. Zhao Zhao licked it and threw it away in disgust. However, Song Jianing loved to eat the fields. After eating two of them in a row, Zhao Zhao's eyes widened. The wet nurse smiled and coaxed: "Soiry, the princess must be a little prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Heng came in.

"Prince." Song Jianing hurriedly put down the apricot kernel and smiled at him a little embarrassedly. He was caught by the prince again.

"Father, sour!" Zhao Zhao threw herself into her father's arms, pointed to the plate on the low table and complained, she wanted to eat sweet things.

Zhao Heng picked up his daughter, kissed her, and slowly said, "My sister is out, and the apricot will be ripe."

After hearing this, Zhaozhao wanted to see her sister soon and eat sweet apricots with her.

The second child is a man or a woman, Zhao Heng doesn't care much. All he wants is just her peace and safety. After kissing his daughter, Zhao Heng looked up and smiled at the princess inside: "Eat if you want, don't worry."

The man looked gentle. Song Jianing looked at Xing'er in the plate, then touched his big belly, and suddenly became extremely expectant.
