I want your soldiers!
What does this mean? Qi Yu finally sized up the woman in front of him. Other than Shen Mengxi, he had never looked at any other woman in the eye. This Lu Yaoyao claimed to be the Empress of Jin Country, but he did not know why she had appeared in Hua Country. He was also not interested in finding out the reason, but now she actually wanted to borrow his troops.
"Who do you want to borrow soldiers for?" Qi Yu asked in a deep voice, "For Mo Rongzhan?"
"Not for anyone, just for myself." Ye Zhen said lightly. She needed 100,000 elite soldiers to help her do things.
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows, "100,000 soldiers, do you have provisions to feed them?"
Ye Zhen said, "You don't have to worry about this. I only have this condition. Are you willing to agree?"
She knew that it was not easy to feed 100,000 elite soldiers. It required a lot of provisions and silver. The silver they earned from this voyage was probably not enough. But, wasn't there still a year? She would find a way.
100,000 elite soldiers were said to be lent to her, but in fact, it was tantamount to giving them away. Qi Yu was thinking about what Lu Yaoyao wanted these soldiers to do.
"Niang niang, niang niang is awake?" Suddenly, the palace maid exclaimed in the bedroom.
Qi Yu could not care about Ye Zhen's problem at this time. He ran into the bedroom with a whoosh.
Ye Zhen also temporarily suppressed the topic. Anyway, there was still a long way to go. She did not need Qi Yu's consent in a short time.
In the bedroom, Shen Mengxi, who had been unconscious, moved her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the familiar environment, she was stunned for a moment. Wasn't she dead? Why was she still here?
"Mengxi!" Qi Yu rushed to the side of the bed and looked at Shen Mengxi with strong suppressed excitement.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Mengxi wanted to open her mouth to call him but found that she could not make a sound at all. A layer of tears appeared in her eyes. Is she still alive?
Ye Zhen stood beside her and finally saw Shen Mengxi's appearance. Before, Shen Mengxi's eyes were closed, and she could only see her sleeping appearance. Now that Shen Mengxi opened her eyes, she found that she had a pair of unforgettable eyes. It was this pair of eyes that made her other originally plain facial features look outstanding.
"Mengxi, what do you want to say?" Qi Yu's voice was so low and soft that Ye Zhen almost thought it was his other personality coming back.
Shen Mengxi wanted to speak, but she didn't even have the strength to do so. She just looked at him with a silent smile.
Qi Yu turned to Ye Zhen and ordered, "Come and see her."
"Alright." Ye Rou nodded and walked to the side of the bed. She looked down at Shen Mengxi and smiled. "Your Highness, let me take your pulse."
Shen Mengxi was stunned by the sudden appearance of a beautiful woman.
Qi Yu explained, "She's Huang Fuchen's disciple, Lu Yaoyao."
Shen Mengxi's eyes flashed with joy. Her pale face showed a smile, and she looked at Ye Zhen gently and kindly.
From the looks of it, Huang Fuchen had also mentioned her to Shen Mengxi?
Ye Rou took Shen Mengxi's pulse and found that her heart meridian had recovered a little. She could not speak now because her lung meridian was affected, and she needed more rest to recover. It seemed that her medicine was right, but … as the child in her stomach grew up, it might still be affected.
"Your Majesty, the empress's heart meridian deficiency is better, but she still needs to rest for a few more days before she can speak. During this time, don't get out of bed and walk around. Rest in bed first." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
Qi Yu took a deep look at Shen Mengxi. Seeing that she was no longer asleep and unresponsive, his tense heart for several days relaxed a little. "Your medicine is right. Can it cure her?"
"There is no problem in treating heart disease." Ye Zhen whispered, "But … as the child grows up, it will need more nutrition from the mother. I'm only worried that the empress will not be able to …"
Before she could finish speaking, she felt her wrist being grabbed. She looked down and saw that it was Shen Mengxi who was holding onto her hand. Shen Mengxi gently shook her head at her. Did she not want her to say that she was pregnant?
Qi Yu's eyes flashed with rage. He took a deep breath and said, "Mengxi, I already know."
Shen Mengxi looked at him pleadingly.
"If this child will endanger my life, I will not keep it." Qi Yu said expressionlessly.
This doesn't seem to be what she said! Ye Zhen looked at Qi Yu in surprise. Didn't he threaten her to keep Shen Mengxi's child? Why did he say this in front of Shen Mengxi?
Shen Mengxi looked at Qi Yu sadly. In the end, she sighed and gently let go of Ye Zhen's hand.
Ye Zhen was already a mother. She understood that Shen Mengxi wanted to keep the child. She put her hand on the back of Shen Mengxi's hand. "I will do my best."
She will do her best to keep her child and let her give birth safely.
Shen Mengxi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Ye Zhen gratefully.
"It's almost time. I'll go and make a new prescription." Ye Zhen said.
"You can take the prescription to the palace servants and let them go to the imperial kitchen to decoct the medicine." Qi Yu said lightly.
Ye Zhen smiled at him. "I'm more at ease with the medicine I made myself."
She knew that Shen Mengxi had just woken up and Qi Yu must have a lot to say. She had better step back.
Qi Yu nodded to her, and all the palace servants in the bedroom also retreated outside.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Mengxi smiled and winked at Qi Yu, her expression playful.
"I will not forgive you." Qi Yu sat down again, his face still dark and ugly. She dared to secretly get pregnant behind his back. If it weren't for Lu Yaoyao, he wouldn't know what to do.
Shen Mengxi pulled his hand to her cheek and rubbed it, saying silently, "I want to give birth to a child for you."
Qi Yu snorted coldly. "For the sake of a child, you don't even want your life?"
"No …" Shen Mengxi moved her lips. She hadn't had heartache for many years. She thought she had recovered.
"Don't scare me any more." Qi Yu buried his face in her neck. "You know I can't lose you."
Shen Mengxi silently patted his head and motioned for him to lie down beside her. She knew that he must have not slept for many days.
Qi Yu lay down beside her and held her tightly in his arms. Smelling the scent on her body, he could finally sleep peacefully.
"Your Majesty …" Shen Mengxi grabbed his hand and called out to him silently.
Unfortunately, Qi Yu had fallen asleep and didn't hear or see her. He was too tired. Now that she had woken up, the string in his heart was finally completely relaxed.
Shen Mengxi smiled and pressed her face against his chest. She wanted to know why Lu Yaoyao was here, but it was no longer important. She would naturally know when she could speak in a few days.
