In the manor dungeon, there were only two people, Xiao Qingli and Yao Shu, sleeping in the same cell.
It was Yun Cheng.
His treatment was not too miserable.
After all, Yun Chu was there and she always took care of her.
Mubei Rong He and Yao Shu just turned a blind eye, as long as he couldn't get out and couldn't cause trouble.
"Yuncheng" Xiao Qingli stood in front of the cell with his hands behind his hands: "Long time no see" Yun Chu, who was lying with his back to them, slowly turned around.
When he saw Xiao Qingli, he suddenly sat up and said, "Xiao Qingli."
Even though they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, even though he was still a child at that time, Yun Cheng still glanced at him.
Then he recognized him.
"It's really you."
A trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Qingli's eyes.
Back then, Yuncheng had superb medical skills, was young and handsome, and was a perfect match for his sister.
However, he never thought that in just a dozen years, he would become like this.
"Being able to invite you means that you know her identity."
Xiao Qingli nodded lightly: "She is a child of my Xiao family and my sister's daughter.
Yuncheng, why did you do such a cruel thing to her?"
Yuncheng sneered: "Yes, for your Xiao family, as long as it is Xiao Mei's child, it is the blood of your Xiao family.
But for me, it is just the evil offspring she had with someone else."
"I, the Xiao family, cannot tolerate your slander."
Xiao Qingli said coldly: "You clearly know why my sister entered the palace, but not only do you not understand, you also deliberately try to harm her flesh and blood.
Do you love her?
You are wrong."
You’re just paranoid and you just can’t let go of your self-righteousness.”
"Shut up."
Yuncheng became excited: "She is my wife, even if she dies, she must die with me.
I am a man, and a husband.
I don't need my wife to sleep with others in exchange for my survival.
She is It’s an insult to me to look down on me.”
"so what" Yao Shu could clearly see Xiao Qingli's clenched fists, and her Qingjing was violent.
If he hadn't been outside the cell, I'm afraid this handsome young man would have already made a move.
"Listen to yourself.
You are talking about her looking down on you and making you lose face.
But what about her?
She left her family and lived with a man who was a lot older than her.
She was not familiar with the place where she was born, and she had no support from her parents' family.
She had no support from her parents.
Do you care about others, having a baby in your belly, and dying of a miserable illness?"
Xiao Qingli took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions: "You don't have all the suffering and tolerance she has.
In your opinion, your face is not as important as yours. " "I didn't," Yun Cheng murmured, "She doesn't have to go.
Even if that dog emperor wants to kill me, I won't blame her at all."
"Because you are a lonely person."
Xiao Qingli said slowly: "Although I was young at the time, I also knew the danger of the Xiao family at that time.
The Xiao family was the most loyal family of the Mu family.
The southern border would not let it go.
It was Emperor Rongli who saw After sleeping with my sister, the Xiao family has a glimmer of hope."

"You and the Xiao family will all die, and no one will die.
As long as your sister becomes the emperor's woman, these two choices are easy for anyone to choose."
Xiao Qingli stared at Yun Cheng: " If there was no Xiao family, I believe that sister would not be afraid of dying with you."
"But she did.
At that time, the Xiao family had her parents, older brothers, younger brothers, and a young nephew.
She couldn't bear that you didn't have a family.
You didn't understand the bond and the kind of people who would do anything for their loved ones.
Feeling" "So in order for you to live, you, the Xiao family, couldn't bear to let her become a woman for the dog emperor."
Yuncheng chuckled: "You are here to lecture me in a high-sounding way, but your Xiao family has only been able to survive on women so far, and it is nothing more than this."
Xiao Qingli closed her eyes: "You are wrong.
The Xiao family is not afraid of death and does not approve of my sister's promise to Emperor Rongli for the Xiao family.
It was my sister who left quietly without telling us."
"What?"
Yun Cheng opened his eyes wide: "It's not what your Xiao family agreed to."
"Of course not."
Xiao Qingli looked at her calmly: "But although my Xiao family does not agree, we know my sister's intentions and sacrifices.
I am grateful for her kindness and feel sorry for her situation.
What about you Yuncheng, you are so pathetic, you Look at yourself, do you still live like a human being?
I don’t know how disappointed my sister will be when she sees you."
Xiao Qingli glanced at Yun Cheng pitifully, turned around and gently helped Yao Shu up the stairs.
His voice fell lightly into Yun Cheng's ears: "Sister, I have only loved you in my life.
It's a pity that you are not worthy of her."
"love" Yuncheng stood in the prison in a daze, not moving for a long time.
"Uncle."
Yao Shu turned to look at Xiao Qingli: "Are you on good terms with my mother?"
Xiao Qingli's eyes flashed with nostalgia: "I was raised by her, and she is the most protective of me at home."
"So after my mother left, you became depressed and rarely went out."
"So be it."
Xiao Qingli's character has indeed changed a lot because of Xiao Mei's departure, becoming calm and melancholy.
"Then why did Beirong say that you are the number one son of Mucheng?"
You rarely go out after the age of ten.
How did your reputation spread?
Xiao Qingli took good care of Yao Shu and slowed down his pace: "In the past, there was a literary gathering in Mucheng every June 6th.
When I was eight years old, my sister took me to participate."
"Fame in One Fight" Yao Shu couldn't imagine what it would be like for an eight-year-old child to defeat all the literary giants.
But more than ten years later, he is still the number one son of Mucheng, which is enough to show his amazing beauty at the beginning. .
"It's just a false name" Xiao Qingli stopped in front of the pavilion: "I heard Xiao Song say something about you.
Although Mu Beirong is the young master of Mu City, I still want to tell you, don't let anyone make you feel wronged, even if it's you.
I won’t allow him either.”
"It's all in the past."
Yao Shu smiled: "If he really bullies me, I will complain to my uncle."
A smile appeared on Xiao Qingli's thin lips, and she patted Yao Shu's head gently: "She used to protect me, but now I protect you for her."
Three days passed very quickly.
There were very few people accompanying them this time, only Mu Beirong, Yao Shu, Xiao Qingli and Yun Chu.
They only took Yun Chu with them because they were afraid that Yao Shu's body would be different, and Mingchu was also accompanying them.

But only Li Zheng.
This time we are going to the northern border.
It is not as casual as the southern border.
We must be cautious, so the remaining people will Be cautious, so the remaining personnel will disguise themselves and lurk in northern Xinjiang in batches.
After bidding farewell to the reluctant Xiao family, the group set out on the road to Northern Xinjiang.
Mucheng was originally located at the junction of Southern and Northern Xinjiang, so it was close to Southern Xinjiang and not far from Northern Xinjiang.
Mu Beirong wasn't that anxious, not to mention there was a pregnant woman and a brother-in-law who didn't know any martial arts, so he simply used a carriage instead of a horse.
It didn't look like he was on a journey, but like he was traveling.
The carriage was big and luxurious, and you didn't feel any bumps when you were sitting in it.
It was just that Yao Shu was a little speechless.
The atmosphere was a bit wrong.
"Yao'er, come, eat an apple."
Mu Beirong handed the peeled apple to Yao Shu's mouth.
Yao Shu smiled and just took it to eat when a peeled orange was suddenly handed to her from the right: "Ah Shu, let's eat a banana."
Yao Shu twitched the corner of her mouth and took it, an apple on her left and a banana on her right, and ate them silently.
Although the carriage was very quiet, why did she always feel like there was a vague electric current passing through her when she was sitting between them?
Isn't this a brother-in-law and a husband?
I have never heard of any sparks in this kind of relationship.
Yao Shu didn't know that when Xiao Qingli heard from Xiao Song about Yao Shu's suffering because of Mu Beirong, he had a problem with Mu Beirong.
He felt sorry for his niece, and the kind-hearted Yao Shu didn't argue with him.
Doesn't mean he won't.
Mu Beirong had no idea that the chain reaction of this incident was more than that.
He was just glad that Yao Shu was no longer at odds with him, but he didn't know that with Xiao Qingli, his good days were still to come.
This inexplicable atmosphere did not last for a few days, because Yao Shu began to have morning sickness, which was very serious.
The two men were distressed and anxious, but there was nothing they could do to help.
In order to appease Yao Shu's appetite, they prepared various vegetable seasonings, pots and pans in their luggage, instead of just hunting and bringing dry food.
But even though Yun Chu's cooking skills were good, Yao Shu still couldn't stop her tendency to vomit, vomit, and vomit again.
Morning sickness is a miraculous phenomenon in itself, and doctors can’t do anything about it.
Yao Shu can’t do it even if she eats it, and even less if she doesn’t eat it.
For example, right now, as soon as Yun Chu brought breakfast, the smell of meat wafted over.
Before eating, Yao Shu hurriedly stood up and ran to the woods to vomit.
But there was really nothing to vomit in the stomach, and all the bitter water came out.
One of the two men behind him was holding water, the other was holding a handkerchief to pat Yao Shu's back, and after she finished vomiting, he wiped her mouth, and the other was feeding her to rinse her mouth.
After a few days, they actually cooperated tacitly.
"Yaoer" Mubei said anxiously: "Don't you have anything to eat?
It's not enough to just eat fruit every day."
Yao Shu turned pale and shook her head: "I really have no appetite.
Can I just skip this meal?"
"No" Xiao Qingli rarely stood on the same front as Mu Beirong: "Both you and your child need nutrition, how can you do it without eating?"
"But I" just walked back and smelled the food.
Yao Shu's stomach turned again: "No, I won't eat it."
She vomited until her legs went weak.
The two men couldn't resist Yao Shu.
They watched her go back to the carriage and lie down, sighing helplessly.
Mu Beirong had no brothers or sisters, and was surrounded by people of the same age.

She really hadn't had much contact with pregnant women.
As for Xiao Qingli, at home When the woman was pregnant, he was too young to notice it.
The two men had no idea why they would suffer so much when they were pregnant.
"Yao'er, do you feel better?"
Mu Beirong got into the carriage, hugged Yao Shu tightly, and became pregnant.
Instead of making her fat, she became thinner.
"As long as you don't eat, it'll be fine."
Yao Shu nuzzled herself into a comfortable position in Mubei Rong's arms like a cat.
That's right, her second biggest reaction to pregnancy is sleepiness Of the twelve hours a day, Yao Shu was sleeping for eight of them, as if she couldn't wake up no matter how hard she slept.
Previously, Mu Beirong restricted her from exercising for long periods of time, but now he is eager for her to go out and walk around.
Although he is not the one who is pregnant, Yao Shu is physically tired, and he is mentally tired.
Mu Beirong put his hand on her belly: "Baby, don't torment your mother, be good."
Yao Shu's muffled voice said: "You said you are so noisy, could you be a son?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Mu Beirong stroked her hair: "I heard from Yunchu that daughters usually fall asleep when they talk."
"Both sons and daughters are fine, as long as they calm down a little bit."
Yao Shu was frightened by the torment.
She went through this cycle every day, eating, not being able to eat, sleeping, not being able to wake up.
Even when she was injured, it was not so difficult.
"What's going on like this?"
Mu Beirong pondered for a moment: "Otherwise, let's go to Northern Xinjiang after you give birth.
I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the exhaustion of such a journey."
Yao Shu hurriedly waved her hands: "My situation has nothing to do with being on the road.
I should contact your parents sooner rather than later.
Think about it, they imprisoned your parents to make explosives, and now they have obtained the materials.
If Once they are made, they have no use value, wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
"But I don't know what kind of situation I will encounter when I go to Northern Xinjiang.
It's a bit risky to take you with me.
I should have listened to grandpa and let you stay in the Xiao family to rest."
Xiao Qingtian told him that he was immediately I rejected it, not for anything else but because I couldn't bear to leave her for too long.
But now it seems that he is a little willful.
He didn't expect that the reaction would be so big after one month of pregnancy, and he was a little worried.
"Okay, don't think so much.
Not all pregnancy is like this for ten months."
No matter how inexperienced she is, she still has common sense and knows that morning sickness only lasts for the first three months.
"By the way" Yao Shu pushed the curtain and said: "What's going on between you and my uncle?
He is my elder after all.
Don't pinch him too much."
Mu Beirong smiled bitterly: "I didn't pinch him, it was him who pinched me."
"You have offended him" Mu Beirong spread his hands: "I don't have that.
I think he has a sister-obsession just like Yao Che."
Yao Shu rolled her eyes: "That's nonsense, I'm not his sister."
"Yeah" Mu Beirong smiled: "But you are : "But you are his sister's daughter.
He lost his sister when he was young, and now a niece suddenly appears, so naturally that feeling will be grafted onto you."
"Is that so?"

Yao Shu thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
After all, his temperament had indeed changed drastically since Xiao Mei left.
From this, it seemed that his feelings for Xiao Mei were not as deep as usual.
"Then you should obey him more."
Yao Shu was also worried: "Don't confront him if you hear it.
As time goes by, he will naturally not reject you so much."
Mu Bei Rong is really jealous: "Why should he reject me?
It's me who comes first, right?"
A brother-in-law shows up inexplicably and fights with him for a woman.
What's this?
Yao Shu chuckled and pointed at his tall nose: "He is my brother-in-law, not your love rival.
No matter who comes first, he is my elder by birth."
Mu Beirong lowered his head and bit her finger: "It's not a love rival, it's more troublesome than a love rival.
If it's really a love rival, I will rush forward with my sword.
This person can't be beaten or scolded.
He has to be worshiped by his ancestors.
And you, too, This little heartless guy just knew him for a few days and started talking to him everywhere."
"Otherwise, let me tell my uncle about this."
Yao Shu curled her lips.
"So, you are still the closest to me."
Mu Beirong chuckled, feeling happy.
Because Yao Shu was taken care of, the journey was very slow.
What's more, this time we passed by Qishan, and Qishan was the residence of Master Mu Beirong.
Mu Beirong decided to stay here for a few days to visit his master. , you can also let Yao Shu take a break.
Qishan is not high or steep, but it has the best scenery.
It is early winter, and the ground is covered with yellow leaves.
It is a unique sight to go up the mountain road and look at the scenery.
Gu Yan's residence was a two-story wooden house deep in the mountains and forests.
It was quiet and elegant, and Yao Shu liked it as soon as she saw it.
Mu Beirong stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Mu Beirong pushed the door open and went in: "Come in, Master, he may have gone out."
Yao Shu looked at the house: "Has master always lived here by himself?"
Li Zheng went to pour water for everyone, and he was familiar with the road.
Mu Beirong helped Yao Shu sit down: "Well, it has been more than twenty years.
When I was a child, I learned martial arts here."
While they were talking, the door suddenly opened.
Several people followed the voice and saw that it was Gu Yan.
They quickly stood up and said, "Master."
Gu Yan was still very tough.
When he saw Mu Beirong, he smiled and nodded: "I'm back."
"Yes."
Mu Beirong watched Gu Yan sit down before taking his seat: "I am going to Northern Xinjiang.
I passed by you and came in to visit."
"Going to Northern Xinjiang?"
Gu Yan asked doubtfully: "What are you going to do in Northern Xinjiang?"

Mu Beirong had been corresponding with him.
He knew about his detoxification, but the whereabouts of his parents were not known yet.
"I suspect my parents are in northern Xinjiang."
Gu Yan nodded: "In that case, it might as well go and test it out.
After all, there has been no news from the southern border for more than ten years."
Gu Yan said and turned to look at Yao Shu: "Girl, if you're pregnant, go and rest first.
There's no need to sit around with an old man like me."
Yao Shu smiled and stood up: "Then I'll go up first, while Master and Beirong chat slowly."
Yun Chu helped Yao Shu go upstairs to rest.
Xiao Qingli also returned to the room, leaving only Mu Beirong and Gu Yan.
Mu Beirong asked: "Master, that half piece of jade, you gave it to Yao Er."
Sometimes, it is said that it has the effect of protecting the body and calming the mind.
Is it more than that simple?"
"how"
Mu Beirong told Gu Yan about Yao Shu's previous injury: "Yun Chu said that it was difficult to save Yao'er's life in that situation, but Yao'er was not only out of danger, but the child in her belly was safe.
I thought, Does it have anything to do with that jade?"
Gu Yan nodded: "This jade is indeed not an ordinary jade.
After integrating the two halves, it is not only the key to your Mu family's treasure, but also good for the body.
It is said that this is the first generation of the city lord of Mu City.
When my wife was seriously ill, I went to find medicine for her alone.
I traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Mucheng.
After getting a piece of jade, he came back disappointed.
Then he had the jade carved into what it looks like today, and each person took a piece with him.
Unexpectedly, the wife of the city lord slowly recovered.
The reason was that he thought it was the contribution of this jade.
As you said, she survived even though she lost so much blood, it was this jade that protected her heart."
That's it.
Mu Beirong nodded: "You gave the jade to her when you first met her.
Could it be that you had expected it?"
Gu Yan stroked his beard and smiled: "I didn't expect anything, but I knew you very well.
When I saw you two appearing together, I felt that one day you might regret it, so I gave the jade to her on an impromptu basis. " Mu Beirong shook his head and laughed, as expected of his master: "I want to thank you.
If it weren't for this, I'm afraid Yao'er would have died."
"There is no need to be polite between you and me.
As long as you live well, I will feel relieved as a teacher."
After Mu Beirong chatted with Gu Yan, they went back to their room to rest.
Yao Shu had already fallen asleep.
Mu Beirong went to bed gently and held her in his arms.
If Yao Shu had been awake before, she was still asleep now.
Deeply cooked.
Mu Beirong took out the half piece and looked at it carefully.
The complete shape of the jade should be a full moon.
This is one half of it, with patterns engraved on it.
This half also has the word "jade".
I want to think about the other half.
There should also be a word, which when combined is the name of this jade.

This piece of kodama has been passed down from generation to generation in the Tokugawa clan.
When he was very young, his mother put it on him, and the other half was worn by his father.
He didn’t understand what was special about this jade at the time, so it was just an accessory. .
Later, something happened in Makucheng and he escaped.
His master told him that if he wanted to save his parents, he should join the army, so he gave the jade to his master for safekeeping.
Later, when he was older and his status was high enough, his master told him that this jade was not an ordinary jade, but related to the treasure of the Tokugawa clan.
He asked him to pay more attention, so he sent people around the queen to investigate the whereabouts of the other half of the Kodama.
Unfortunately, there is no news yet.
It must be in northern Xinjiang.
And this treasure cannot be touched easily.
Only when encountering a situation similar to the current situation can it be Land can be activated, and if Mu Beirong wants to restore Mu City, he must use it.
But he didn't expect it to have such a magical use.
Mu Beirong put the jade back on Yao Shu.
If this jade could keep his wife and children healthy, then in his opinion, it would be much more useful than any treasure.
Mu Beirong held Yao Shu in his arms, but couldn't sleep.
In the past, he could work very hard because he was a loner, but now that he has a wife and children, he has to be more cautious in everything.
When he goes to northern Xinjiang, he doesn't know what he will encounter.
He must make arrangements in advance.
Purple clothes alone are not enough.
In case something unexpected happens, he must arrange his escape route in advance.
At least, he must ensure Yao Er's safety.
After thinking about it, Mu Beirong quietly stood up and picked up a pen and paper to write a letter.
The recipient was none other than Dai Hu, who was currently guarding the border fortress.
Dai Hu is an orphan.
He has followed him since he was twelve years old.
He brought him up single-handedly.
Mu Beirong also trusts him.
If something happens to him in Northern Xinjiang, Dai Hu will definitely be the most advantageous candidate to contain Northern Xinjiang.
Mu Beirong thought of the second prince of Northern Xinjiang, Huangfu Ji.
If possible, he would go to Northern Xinjiang to stir up the troubled waters.
It would be best to prevent the second prince from succeeding to the throne.
The old emperor of Northern Xinjiang could not be said to be fatuous, but he also did not achieve much.
After leading the army in Mubeirong, he never took advantage of the southern border.
Huangfu Ji was different.
He could tell it when he fought with him, from his troop formation.
After setting up the formation and seeing how he was used to using troops, Mu Beirong knew that this was a bold, strategic and ambitious man.
If he succeeds to the throne in Northern Territory, it will definitely be several times more difficult to deal with than before.
If he gets the kind of weapon Yao Er mentioned again, Southern Territory will definitely be in a passive position.
Although the Southern Territory is not his homeland, at this moment, if he wants to save his parents, he has to rely on the Southern Territory's power.
If the Southern Territory is suppressed by the Northern Territory, it will not do him any good.
But he has no power in Northern Xinjiang.
Just relying on some subordinates to lurk in advance will definitely not have a big effect.
How can we better interfere with the Northern Xinjiang royal family?
Mu Beirong's mind was spinning rapidly and his hands were not stopping.
After writing the letter, he opened the window, summoned Xiao Xianrou, tied the letter, and watched Xiao Xianrou fly away.

He was no longer the same person he was ten years ago.
He is still a weakling, so he will not spend the second ten years preparing carefully.
What he wants is the fastest and most effective method.
His soft eyes looked at the sleeping person on the bed, and he wanted to settle down as soon as possible.
