As everyone knows, Qin Feng deliberately kept Zhang Chao in the dark, not only for Li Xiaolan's matter, but also for political considerations.
As an official of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Chao had shown enough sincerity by single-handedly sending an envoy to Changshui County, so the purpose of this trip must be to get Qin Feng to retreat.
But the reality is very cruel. The Winter War has begun, and Qin Feng has already gained an absolute advantage. It is only a matter of time before Beidi is defeated. Wouldn't retreating at this juncture give Beidi a chance to breathe?
Moreover, the blood feud has been forged. Even if Qin Feng lets Beidi go, Qin Feng is still a sworn enemy to Beidi. One day, Beidi will try every means to revenge Qin Feng.
As the saying goes, if you cut the grass without removing the root, there will be endless troubles!
Therefore, it is almost impossible to get Qin Feng to retreat. Of course, if the Beidi King is willing to abdicate, it will be another story. Unfortunately, this possibility is extremely slim.
Qin Feng just wanted to let Zhang Chao figure out the situation, and peace talks were not something he could just talk about.
At this time, Li Xiaolan was lying on the bed, her face a little pale. Qin Feng initially thought that Li Xiaolan was here to be his "aunt", so he didn't pay attention. However, after a while, Qin Feng realized that something was wrong.
Li Xiaolan has not had any signs of menstruation in the past few days, and if the menstruation is unfavorable, it will definitely be accompanied by dysmenorrhea. However, Li Xiaolan is only weak and not painful, which shows that it is not as simple as a "private matter".
"Xiaolan, tell me honestly, what's going on?" Qin Feng looked serious and asked in a deep voice.
Sensing the undoubted look in Qin Feng's eyes, Li Xiaolan, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but dodge her eyes: "Maybe she's contracted the cold..."
Before Li Xiaolan could finish speaking, Qin Feng interrupted directly: "It's impossible. As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a good doctor. I deal with the wounded all day long. What kind of disease have I never seen? Your condition is neither bad menstruation nor bad menstruation." Typhoid fever.”
"Xiaolan, is there anything else you can't say to me?"
Facing Qin Feng's pressing step by step, Li Xiaolan knew that she couldn't escape, so she could only sigh quietly: "It is indeed bad menstruation, or... menstruation did not come at all. As early as half a month ago, I I have noticed the clues, I am afraid that I have contracted a serious disease."
A flash of fear flashed in Li Xiaolan's eyes. When she and Mrs. Qin were hiding incognito in their ancestral homeland in Beixi County, she had seen several village women die with hatred because of contracting women's diseases. Li Xiaolan was worried that she had also contracted a serious disease in that area, so she became depressed and indecisive.
She is not afraid of death, she is just afraid of dying at this time.
Mingming and Qin Feng had just achieved enlightenment, why did God choose this time...
But when Li Xiaolan looked up at Qin Feng, she found something was wrong with Qin Feng's eyes.
Li Xiaolan couldn't help but become nervous: "Feng'er, do you know about this nasty disease?"
Qin Feng did not answer in a hurry, but asked in a deep voice: "Do you have a bad appetite these days? Are you often nauseated?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaolan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, when we were in the ancestral land, those village women had difficulty swallowing and couldn't even drink water before they died."
"Hey...why God..."
Just as Li Xiaolan was sighing, Qin Feng grabbed Li Xiaolan's hand and became more and more excited: "My period is not coming, and you are so sick. You almost scared me to death! The reason why you are so weak these days is because you eat too much." Shao, he was starved to death."
"I should have thought of that!"
Li Xiaolan didn't understand why Qin Feng had such a big reaction, and asked doubtfully: "Are you hungry? Am I not sick?"
Qin Feng was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly: "Not only is he not sick, but he is happy!"
pregnant?
Li Xiaolan was stunned for a moment. Although she was proficient in the art of assassination and good at using medicine, she knew very little about women. If she were in Kyoto, there would naturally be experienced servants to guide Li Xiaolan. But now he is trapped in Changshui County, and the three women around him are also inexperienced.
Li Xiaolan recalled what happened with Qin Feng before, counted the days, and combined with the strangeness of her body in the past few days, her weak cheeks suddenly turned red and dripped with blood.
"Oh my god..."
"Now that the war is going on, why did it happen at this time..."
Just when Li Xiaolan was struggling, Qin Feng held her in his arms and said word by word: "I...I'm going to be a father!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaolan became even more shy. She had been cold-blooded and ruthless all her life, but now because she was about to become a mother, her whole body felt hot and her breathing was short, like that of a young girl who had just begun to fall in love.
But seeing Qin Feng's extremely excited look, Li Xiaolan felt extremely happy.
"I...we haven't gotten married yet, is this a good thing?" Li Xiaolan lowered her head and whispered.
Qin Feng pushed Li Xiaolan away and grabbed her shoulders. Qin Feng, who had spent half of his life in the army, his eyes were a little wet at this moment: "We will get married when we return to the capital, if it's too late..."
Hearing this, Li Xiaolan asked in a low voice: "What if it's too late?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath and blurted out: "Then get married in Changshui County!"
Li Xiaolan covered her mouth and said in surprise: "No, I can't do this to Yun'er. Yun'er is the principal wife."
Of course Qin Feng did not forget Xie Yun'er, but everything has its own priorities. He quickly comforted Li Xiaolan: "It will take ten months to conceive. I'm afraid we will have returned to Kyoto by then. If something goes wrong and it's too late, I will send someone to take care of her." Xie Yun'er takes it over, and when the time comes, they will get married."
In fact, Qin Feng and Xie Yun'er have communicated about the important matter of marriage a long time ago. Xie Yun'er also knows in her heart that as the princess of Daliang, Li Xiaolan cannot be Qin Feng's side wife. Even if it is to take into account the patriarchal system of Daliang, she must give priority to marrying Li Xiaolan. In the end, The best way is to get married on the same day, with Li Xiaolan coming over first and dividing priorities with Xie Yun'er.
Qin Feng hugged Li Xiaolan into his arms again and said with great joy: "Don't worry, I will take care of these things. You just need to worry about raising the baby."
"Thank you, Xiaolan."
At this time, Li Xiaolan's pale face had completely turned red. She asked shyly: "Why do you thank me?"
Qin Feng hugged Li Xiaolan tightly and said excitedly: "Thank you for making me a father, and thank you even more for opening up the Qin family."
"The Qin family only has one seedling like me, so spreading the branches and leaves is the top priority. Xiaolan, you are our Qin family's great benefactor. When the siege of Changshui County is lifted, I will send someone to spread this good news. Inform father and mother.”
Li Xiaolan also turned around and hugged Qin Feng, bit her lip, and said nervously: "Maybe it's Niu Er's kid who brought us good luck..."
