The soldier walking at the end could even smell the fire burning his hair.

At this time, Helian Moxiao's 90,000-strong cavalry were manipulated by Murong Chen. They had just arrived at the place where they were fighting. At first glance, they were already bare. The fire had passed through, and even the corpses were burnt.

, leaving nothing but devastation.

"Your Majesty, I'm late..." General Situ murmured. Behind him, the ninety-thousand-strong man looked at the fire that filled the sky in front of him, with a deathly expression on his face.

He closed his eyes, raised his arms and shouted: "Keep moving forward, if you want to see people alive, if you want to see corpses if you die!"

Behind him, the fire was red, and the billowing smoke roared in. The scorching temperature was as if people were being steamed in a steamer. Xia Houlie and his group rushed forward quickly, almost fighting a life-and-death struggle against this strange fire.

.

Gradually, several clear and melodious tinkling sounds of spring water came from ahead. When everyone heard such sounds, they undoubtedly saw the dawn of life.

The group of people immediately flew forward like an arrow that had escaped from the string.

Only several deafening splashes were heard. At the same time as the fire all over the sky came, everyone jumped into the creek. When the fire met the water, it seemed to be blocked by a wall. Looking across the river, only

I saw a fire spread across the sky and the earth.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, until a heavy downpour came, which put an end to the endless fire.

And this fire shocked the entire Xiling Continent.

The news that Emperor Beiyan and his former queen Mu Qingwan fell ill and went south for medical treatment were burned to death in the fire spread like wildfire. What's more, people all over the world heard that besides the two of them, there were also others who were swallowed up by the fire.

There is the newly crowned Emperor of Eastern Mo, Helian Mo Xiao, and the long-missing jewel of the Lu family, Miss Chu Xia.

Such a big change shocked everyone.

After the incident happened, the Northern Yan royal family and the Dongmo royal family each sent their imperial guards to launch a net-like search in the two burned-out mountains.

The imperial guards searched for three days and three nights. In addition to the corpses of the armored soldiers, they found in a cave the injured Helian Moxiao and Chu Xia who were recuperating, as well as two bodies that resembled the Northern Yan King Xia Houlie and his former queen Mu Qingwan.

's corpse.

The faces of the two corpses had been burned beyond recognition, but judging from the grief-stricken expressions of Helian Mo Xiao and Lu Chuxia, there was no doubt that it was the two of them.

Upon hearing the news, the whole country of Beiyan mourned. Xiahou Che, the supervisor of the country, announced that he would suspend the court for three days and never appeared in the court again. All civil and military officials were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they were helpless.

Finally, Empress Dowager Yun stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation, claiming that the country could not live without a king for a day. The first emperor Xiahou Lie had no heirs. According to his last wish, the sixth prince Xiahou Che should ascend the throne as the emperor.

The faction headed by Li Kaiji, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported that the Sixth Prince Xiahou Che had been living abroad for several years and was not very familiar with court affairs. In such a turbulent time, for fear of chaos in the court, he begged Empress Dowager Yun to listen to the government behind the curtain to put things in perspective.

At the same time, I wrote this book to praise the late emperor Xia Houlie for his merits and virtues. He was posthumously named "Hongyun, Wenwuruizhe, thrifty, filial, respectful and sincere". He believed in the merits of the emperor and buried him in the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible.

Xiahou Che, the newly enthroned Emperor Kangtai, considered it over and over again and got it right.

Li Kaiji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, has moved on. How can Zhou Changlong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who has always fought against him in the court, allow the entire political power to fall into the hands of the Yun family?

Suddenly, the entire Beiyan began to be filled with thick gunpowder smoke, and all forces began to scramble to be the first to show their teeth and claws.

At this time, it was revealed in the palace that the assassination of the late emperor by former Prime Minister Yun Lanshan was actually a misunderstanding. Empress Dowager Yun ordered the Ministry of Justice to investigate the matter and found conclusive evidence that Yun Lanshan was not involved in the assassination of the emperor at that time.

Instead, he was framed and framed.

The Yun family, which had plummeted in power in the past, suddenly became full of honor and favor, and even became more prominent and glorious than before. It is not an exaggeration to say that it can cover the sky with one hand.

The storm is coming soon.

At this time, in an unknown villa less than twenty miles away from the northern city of Yanjing, Mu Qingwan had just woken up from a deep sleep.

After several days of recuperation, her body finally got better and the condition of the fetus in her belly stabilized. They both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her waking up, Xia Houlie immediately waved to the maid to bring the steaming meal.

Mu Qingwan had a good appetite and ate two large bowls of wolfberry pigeon porridge. After eating, she stared at her wrist, pinched the thin white skin on it, and said with a wrinkled face:

"Hey, look, I can eat so much now. This little guy will grow faster after a while, so how much more do I have to eat? But I don't dare to control it now..."

Xia Houlie smiled slightly and pulled her into his arms, "No matter how fat you are, how fat can you get? Eat more and gain weight, and then you will be soft and soft when you hold her, like a kitten, how cute..."

"Yeah, if you gain weight, you'll just look cute..." Mu Qingwan was slightly sour.

"Don't worry, even if you are too fat to walk, your husband will not dislike you..."

Mu Qingwan gritted her teeth and pinched him, "Hey, what are you talking about? I worked so hard to give birth to your children, and you still dare to find it objectionable?"

Why is this guy's mouth so stupid? Would he die if he said sweet words? Wouldn't he say that even if he is fatter, he is prettier than others? How about saying that no matter what you look like, I will love you like this, but he doesn't

Just say that he won’t dislike it?!

This man...

Mu Qingwan gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily, then turned her back and ignored him.

Xia Houlie saw her pouting and getting angry, and he didn't know what he said wrong just now, but at this time, even if he was right, he had to admit his mistake first before saying anything else.

He hugged her and kissed her gently, "Okay, okay, baby, it was me who was wrong, okay?"

Mu Qingwan turned back and glanced at him, "Then tell me where you went wrong?"

He was stunned for a moment, his handsome face was blank, and Mu Qingwan was even more unhappy. She couldn't help but hit him a few times, and cursed in anger: "You are a big piece of wood!"

Xia Houlie held her hand and pressed a deep kiss on her mouth. The kiss made Mu Qingwan dizzy, then he stopped and said in a low voice:

"Baby, stop making trouble, okay?"

Mu Qingwan's cheeks were red, and she didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or anger, "Don't do this every time!"

Xia Houlie hugged her quickly and coaxed her for a while before he made her smile.

He couldn't help but pinch her pretty nose, put his chin on top of her head, and sighed:

"You are so old and you still have to be coaxed every day. Would you say you are a baby, or are they babies?"

He pointed at her belly.

Mu Qingwan couldn't help but rolled her eyes, curled her lips and said, "Then you act like a spoiled child too, I will definitely coax you..."

As she said this, she couldn't help but imagine Xia Houlie's coquettish and crooked appearance in her mind, and she couldn't help but giggle out loud. It was obvious that he had just imagined it himself, and his body was so cold that he got goosebumps.

He coughed lightly and said: "Wan, let the maid accompany you for a walk later. I have to go back to the palace..."

Mu Qingwan frowned, "Did something happen to the court again?"

"This fake death plan really revealed all the remnants of the Yun family lurking in the imperial court. I just didn't expect that their leader would be Li Kaiji, the Minister of War. No wonder Yun Lanshan was able to fake the imperial edict to attack Western Chu last time.

,later

He was able to easily rescue Bi Ying from the prison, and this time he secretly changed the feudal officials... Li Kaiji hid so deeply that he even deceived me. It's ridiculous that I always thought he was loyal to me.

, who knew the truth would be like this..."

There was indescribable sadness on Xia Houlie's face. He thought he was smart and wise, but he didn't expect that he would stumble into such a big mistake this time.

Mistaking a venomous snake for a loyal dog.

Mu Qingwan's hand slowly slid across his handsome face and sighed:

"Hey, although everyone in the world says you are cold and bloodthirsty, I actually know that your heart is the warmest and hottest. No matter how cold you look, you can't hide the hotness inside. That's why you were deceived. It's not your fault.

, but those people’s hearts are inherently too ugly, let’s not be unhappy because of such people, okay..."

"Well." He buried his face in her palm, rubbed it hard, and then stood up, "Then I'll go first. I will finish the matter as soon as possible and come back to accompany you..."

Mu Qingwan smiled brightly at him, "Don't worry, there are so many guards and maids here, I will be fine."

Today is a rare good day. The warm winter sun shines on the body and feels particularly comfortable. Mu Qingwan asked the maids Qiu Ci and Lu Yi to accompany her for a walk in the garden. When she returned to the garden, she felt a little sore in her legs, but she didn't want to

After going back to the room, he walked to the trestle by the lake.

This is an artificial lake. There are all kinds of fish for people to watch in the lake. Lu Yi went to get a thick blanket and put it on the wooden pier beside the trestle. A few more steamed buns came over, and Mu Qingwan took them.

I sat on the wooden pier, broke the steamed buns and threw them into the lake. The fish swarmed up, squeezing each other, slurping water from their mouths, creating ripples layer by layer, and it was very lively.

She was having so much fun that she didn't even notice Xia Houlie walking over.

He quietly waved his hand to ask Qiuci and Luyi to step back, then he slowly stepped forward and leaned over to cover her eyes.

Mu Qingwan smelled the familiar scent on his body and smiled, "I already knew it was you, why are you pretending to be mysterious?"

Xia Houlie also smiled, hugged her neck, put his face on her shoulder, and looked down with her at the fish eating happily, "How did you guess that? Huh?"

"The smell of your body has given you away a long time ago. Besides, who dares to cover my eyes except you?"

His smile became more and more weird and ambiguous: "Do you remember the smell of me?"

Mu Qingwan knew what he was thinking as soon as she heard his tone, and couldn't help but look at him angrily, "Don't think about it, I have a baby in my belly now..."

Xia Houlie bit her earlobe, breathed out deliberately, and felt her whole body tremble involuntarily before he stopped with satisfaction, "I've asked Yanchu, and he said it won't affect the intercourse anymore. You

Don't try to lie to me..."
