Due to excessive disturbance, Shen Huan's fetal condition was a little unstable. The imperial doctor advised her to rest in bed and stop walking outside. At the same time, there was no news from Xiao Wumian, and Shen Huan only felt a fear that a storm was coming. and a sense of powerlessness that cannot be resisted
The nightmare finally struck late one night. Shen Huan was in a daze when she was suddenly woken up by someone. She sat up and saw the tear-stained palace maid Forsythia. Forsythia was the personal palace maid given to her by Xiao Wumian. She usually You have always been calm and mature, why are you crying like this now?
"Forsythia, what happened?" Shen Huan's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, and she quickly asked her
Forsythia cried and said: "The Northern Fleet...has landed..."
Shen Huan was so lost that she forgot to ask more questions and just stood there in a daze without moving.
Forsythia was afraid that she would be scared, so she hurriedly touched her forehead with her hand and said anxiously: "Princess, princess, what are you doing? Don't scare me!"
Shen Huan was so flustered by her crying that she grabbed her arm and asked, "How is the battle going?"
Forsythia then stuttered and said: "The warships of the Western Kingdom have gone and returned. The two northwest countries have united and defeated our fleet. The prince is still fighting to the death... However, they have a large number of people and have already boarded. Ashore! Your Majesty is probably still fighting them with infantry! However, I heard that Your Majesty... He is also injured!"
"Xiao Wumian is injured? How injured is he?" Shen Huan asked eagerly
Forsythia shook her head and was speechless as she cried.
Shen Wen sat blankly for a while, then suddenly stood up, put on her clothes and Lian Qiao hurriedly asked: "Princess, what are you doing?"
"I want to write a decree to Xiao Wumian! Don't fight anymore! Don't fight anymore! Do you really have to kill everyone before you give up?" Shen Huan found pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said this.
Forsythia hurriedly stopped her and said: "Princess, no! At this time, the morale of the army has been weakened, and such words must not be spread again, otherwise, the Southern Kingdom will definitely be defeated!"
Shen Huan sneered and said: "Do you think the Southern Kingdom has a chance to win now? No! We always thought we were proficient in water warfare, but now that they have defeated our navy and successfully landed ashore, their infantry can't be imagined You know how many times stronger than us! Now you are fighting to the death, but you are just courting death!"
"But princess, even if you die in battle, it is better than being a slave to the country's subjugation!"
Shen Huan smiled coldly and said: "If your life is gone, why talk about restoring the country? If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood! I have to be responsible for my people, and I can't let such people do it just because of me." Many people are going to die!" After saying that, she smiled sadly: "The Northern Kingdom attacked the Southern Kingdom not for anything else but because Chu Xichen wanted to get me. How could I be so selfish? If I had woken up earlier, I wouldn't have So many lives would have been lost! If I had thought more clearly, the situation of the Three Kingdoms might have lasted for another hundred years, so why bother... I would have caused trouble long ago!"
However, before she had finished formulating her decree, she sent another urgent message with only a few short words. Shen Huan was struck by thunder: the entire warship was wiped out! The infantry suffered heavy losses!
Almost unsteady, Forsythia hurriedly supported her, and Shen Huan gasped and asked: "Where is Xiao Wumian? How is Xiao Wumian?"
The visitor bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, Your Majesty fought bravely, regardless of the injuries caused by the shells..."
Shen Wen interrupted him angrily: "Don't talk nonsense to me! I just want to know if he is okay now!"
The visitor replied tremblingly: "Yes, yes... Your Majesty is still holding on!"
Shen Huan felt relieved: "As long as you hold on, you are still alive. That's good, that's good."
She had no intention of continuing to sleep. She sat on the chair and waited. No matter what kind of news, she had to bear it!
I waited until dawn to hear that Xiao Wumian had returned to the palace.
She couldn't wait to run out, and really saw Xiao Wumian! But... his face was no longer fair, but smoky, and his eyeballs were bloodshot and mighty because he hadn't slept for days and nights. The armor was stained with blood, and the leaves on the black cloak were stained with dirt.
Shen Wen rushed over and saw a scratch on his forehead that was hit by shrapnel. Tears rolled down his face. She held his hand and said: "No fight, we won't fight..."
Xiao Wumian held her hand instead, smiled bitterly and said softly: "Even if we don't want to fight, I'm afraid we can't help it."
Shen Huan was surprised: "Why?"
Xiao Wumian smoothed the panicked hair on her forehead and said: "Chu Xichen led his troops to land ashore, and the infantry was brave. We fought and retreated, and we were about to retreat. He went to attack the remnants of the Western Kingdom. I Once he has annihilated the remnants of the Western Kingdom, he will probably attack the city." After a pause, he comforted him again: "But don't worry, there are still 10,000 knights in the city and 3,000 feathered guards in the palace. , I will call over five hundred dead soldiers from my mansion, and nothing will happen to you."
Shen Huan asked tremblingly: "What about you?"
Xiao Wumian looked at her and said firmly: "I'm going to command the soldiers in the city, so I can't stay with you here."
Shen Huan cried: "Don't go..."
Xiao Wumian patted her hand and said: "Don't be afraid, I promise to protect you and prevent you from being harmed. Even if I die, I will not..."
Shen Wen hurriedly covered his mouth and cried: "Don't say it, don't say it... I want you to live, you must live!"
Xiao Wumian held her hand, pressed a kiss on her forehead, and said softly but with great sadness: "Okay, I promise you, I will live." After that, he no longer looked at Shen Huan's tearful eyes and didn't even look up. Returned and walked out
Shen Huan let out a low cry. She didn't know that this farewell would last for many years.
The Northern Army began to attack the city. After a day of fierce fighting, the gate to the southern capital was finally opened, and Xiao Wumian was captured.
At night, those shouts of killing seemed to be in his ears. Shen Huan seemed to be able to hear the sound of heavy objects hitting the palace door, see the fire all over the sky, and hear the deafening shouts.
The people in the palace were fleeing in all directions, just like they were when they were driven out of the palace by the Northerners many years ago.
Shen Huan closed her eyes, waiting for the final loss
During this torturous waiting, she suddenly heard a familiar voice with a sadistic smile: "If you haven't run away yet, aren't you waiting for me?"
She suddenly opened her eyes, turned around, saw that familiar evil face, and exclaimed: "It's you!"
The Northern Army finally broke through the palace gate in the peaceful corner of the Southern Kingdom. Chu Xichen was walking at the front. He was wearing silver armor and holding a sword in his hand. The sword was dripping with blood. His face was extremely gloomy. He was walking in the corridor of the palace with flying steps.
When he walked into the Zichen Palace, he searched all the palaces but could not find Shen Huan, and his face became even more ugly.
"Bring Xiao Wumian here!" With an angry roar, Xiao Wumian was quickly taken to him. "Where is Huanwan? You said she is here, where is she? Where did you hide her!"
Xiao Wumian looked around, and indeed did not see Shen Huan, and said anxiously: "I didn't hide her, and she won't run around. She is still pregnant with the child, where can she run away!"
A cold light flashed in Xichen's eyes: "Child? Is she pregnant with a child?"
Xiao Wumian gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Yes, she is pregnant, and she is not too young! Ever since she let you go that night, she has been depressed since she came back. Later, when her pulse was diagnosed and she said she had a child, she got better. "
Xichen pondered for a moment. According to Xiao Wumian, the child should be his! But where could Shen Huan go? His eyes suddenly glanced at the ground aside, he walked over to pick up something, and suddenly said angrily: "Ye Canghao! You and I are at odds with each other!"
The thing in his hand was smashed out. It was the peach blossom jade he brought back from Qilian Mountain and gave to Shen Huan. It was later stolen by Ye Canghao!

I should still be able to write more, but it seems that everyone has no love for Xiao Wumian! I had to speed up and hurry up. Entering the fourth volume of the Western Kingdom, those who like Little Leaf are ready! My dear Little Leaf is about to appear, la la la la la!)
