"...will the child be born during the Chinese New Year?"
"Yes, it was still very cold at that time."
"No matter who he looks like, he must be an interesting kid."
"The emperor's words are so thought-provoking!"
"I am praising you."
Qing'er glared at Lu Fusu gently, and the expression on Lu Fusu's face relaxed a little.
"...Thank you for your concern, but even if you can't sleep, you should rest. If it affects your body, Shui Xinyuan will feel guilty."
"yes!"
Qing'er answered like this, but still didn't leave.
After a long silence, Qing'er murmured: "If possible, I hope she has a baby earlier than me."
"..."
"Because it's impossible for her not to care..."
Lu Fusu and Qing'er both knew what those noble ladies said to Shui Xinyuan when they entered the palace.
"Because I got pregnant first...so she stopped complaining to me..."
"..."
The wind blew in through the cracks in the window, and the flames of the candles swayed violently.
Lu Fusu finished drinking the water and put the tea cup on the table.
"I believe Shui Xinyuan must know that you care about this matter, but she wants you to give birth to a healthy child, so she doesn't want to say anything more in front of you."
"..."
"I hope you respect Shui Xinyuan's consideration for your physical condition and let me worry about her... I want to be the first in matters related to Shui Xinyuan."
Lu Fusu followed the Zhuge family's habit and shrugged, while Qing'er narrowed her eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"...It's really annoying. Does the emperor even have to worry about it?"
"Because I love her."
"Really, I think I'd better go to bed!"
"Go to sleep!"
Qing'er picked up the empty cup and put it back on the tray, said, "Good night." and walked out of the room.
The door closed, and Lu Fusu stared at the candlelight again.
After Qing'er handed the tray and tea cup to the maid waiting in the corridor, she stood blankly in front of the living room for a moment.
In fact, she originally wanted to say something else to the emperor...
"Qinger?"
Qing'er raised her head and found Zhuge Qing walking quickly from the other end of the corridor.
Qing'er couldn't help but ran towards Zhuge Qing and threw herself into her husband's arms.
"……What's wrong?"
"The emperor is really stupid... He is obviously more sad than me, but he keeps comforting me..."
"oh……"
Zhuge Qing smiled bitterly and gently patted Qing'er's head on his arm to calm her down.
"It doesn't matter. No matter how brave a person is, he can still care about others, which means the situation is not the worst."
"Zhuge Qing, you must find Shui Xinyuan!"
"I know, I will definitely let the queen come back safely."
Zhuge Qing hugged Qing'er tightly again, then let go of her, and looked at Qing'er who was about to cry with the brightest smile.
"I am going to welcome the most powerful helper now, and then I will go together. If you can sleep, try to sleep for a while; if you really can't sleep, you can make preparations and welcome the queen back at any time. If you feel uncomfortable, mother still can
When you are awake, you can go find her."
"It's still dark, does the Emperor want to go looking for it together?"
"The situation has changed a little. Besides us, there are other people who are also looking for the queen."
Qing'er was taken aback and pursed her lips.
"this……"
"So I want to invite the Emperor to go with me... It would be too cruel to let the Emperor continue to wait here."
"yes……"
Everyone could clearly see that the emperor was desperately trying to restrain his desire to find the queen himself.
Qing'er raised her head and looked at her husband with praying eyes.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
"good……"
"You have to be careful."
Zhuge Qing patted Qing'er on the shoulder and ran towards the living room.
Qing'er watched his back, slowly exhaled, and straightened her body.
First prepare some hot food that can be eaten immediately, and then call the doctor, just in case... Qing'er feels that her personality is not suitable for waiting quietly.
…
After hearing the knock on the door and seeing Zhuge Qing walking in, Lu Fusu stood up subconsciously.
Zhuge Qing knelt on one leg in front of Lu Fusu and lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
"...are you ready to go?"
"Although it's a little early, it will be more peaceful if Your Majesty takes action personally."
But... Zhuge Qing raised his head.
"However, there are a few things that the emperor must abide by."
"What's up?"
"The Emperor is not familiar with Chunhua Street. No matter how anxious you are, you cannot act alone. If even the Emperor gets lost, we will be in trouble."
"I know."
"besides……"
"Any more?"
"When you are looking for her, you must not call out the Queen's name loudly, because it will attract too much attention."
"I will pay attention……"
"good……"
Zhuge Qing took out the sword placed behind him and held it in front of Lu Fusu with both hands.
This is Lu Fusu's sword, which was specially sent from Miyagi City just now.
Lu Fusu nodded and held the scabbard.
Zhuge Qing also stood up after seeing Lu Fusu's face regained its vitality.
"There is one more thing to report to the emperor."
"What's up?"
"Besides us, there are others who are also looking for the Queen."
"...the man the gardener saw?"
"We don't know yet if it's the same person, but at least we know that person is still looking for the Queen..."
"So, Shui Xinyuan is not imprisoned at the moment..."
Shui Xinyuan successfully escaped, but we cannot be optimistic because if Shui Xinyuan hides somewhere and does not find her quickly, she will become more and more dangerous.
Lu Fusu's eyes were sharp and he grasped the hilt of the sword hanging on his waist.
