Mo Estate.
"Princess, have a taste! These are the raisins that Merton created in Gao Chang as a tribute. His Majesty has sent some for the princess to try! "Liu E walked up with a plate of grapes.
Ever since Modun was made into raisins in Gaochang, other than the military sending over a batch of raisins as a tribute to Li Shimin, there were also many Hu merchants who sent over a batch along the way. The unique taste immediately conquered the people of Chang 'an and set off a wave of popularity in Chang' an.
Princess Changle shook her head. Even in front of the delicious raisins, she had no appetite. Right now, Princess Changle was already very pregnant. It was already very close to the due date that Principal Zhang had calculated. Right now, Meton still had not returned. Seeing the raisins that Meton had created, she couldn't help but think of him.
Liu E couldn't help but sigh. She put away the raisins. This was the little princess's favorite snack.
Liu E had just walked out when she saw Fu Bo come over. She couldn't help but reveal an inquisitive gaze. However, Fu Bo slowly shook his head. Liu E couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression. She glanced worriedly at Princess Changle.
"Reporting to Madam! There's still no news from Marquis! "
Fu Bo quietly came in to report to Princess Changle. Ever since they learned that Meton had defeated five thousand with a thousand and that Meton had led four hundred soldiers from the Firearms Supervisor to pursue the remnants of the Tubo army, Princess Changle had sent Brother Mo Jiazi to Jade Gate Pass to deliver the latest news every day. However, it was a pity that even today, the latest news they received was that Meton had pursued the remnants of the Tubo army into the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea. Counting the days, the Firearms Supervisor's water supply had probably run out long ago. However, there was no news from the Firearms Supervisor. This couldn't help but worry deeply.
Shaking her head, Princess Changle replied, "There is no need to worry. Imperial Father has already ordered General Su to head out to provide support. As soon as Lord Husband leaves the eight hundred li of the Immensity Sea, he will definitely send back news at the first possible moment. Pass on this message to the members of the Mohist clan. Say that the sons of the Mohist clan have never disappointed anyone before.
Meton had survived many dangers, not to mention that this time, Meton had taken the initiative to lead the Firearms Supervisor in pursuit. The Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea wasn't without water. Princess Changle believed that Meton would definitely be able to create another miracle and return safely.
"Yes!" Fu Bo nodded solemnly. He stopped and left with his head held high.
After Fu Bo left, only then did Princess Changle remove her disguise. She immediately felt weak. The place Meton had entered was not an ordinary place. It was the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea, a place where life was forbidden. Moreover, there had been no news for such a long time. How could Princess Changle not be worried? Although Meton was usually very intelligent, that was only when he had power to rely on. However, in the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea, humans and beasts were extinct. Even if Meton was extremely intelligent, he was powerless in front of nature.
Suddenly, Princess Changle felt her stomach move. She couldn't help but stroke her stomach. With a motherly expression, she said, "Little darling, don't worry. Your father is a great hero who can support the heavens and earth. He will definitely return safely."
Princess Changle immediately regained her strength. Now that Meton's life was unknown, she had to be even stronger. Not only for the Mo family, but also for the child in her stomach.
Mo Sha came back from school and saw her mother. She wanted to sneak into the room sneakily.
"Halt! Why do you look so disheveled? Did you get into a fight with another child?" Princess Changle saw through Mo Sha's ploy with a single glance, coldly shouting.
Mo Sha was not convinced. She said stubbornly, "Who told them to say that father will not come back!"
Princess Changle could not help but tremble. She pulled Mo Sha into her embrace, unable to restrain her tears from flowing. With Princess Changle overseeing the Mo Estate, there was no need to ask questions. The city of Chang 'an had long been filled with rumors. Many people believed that the son of the Mo family would not be able to make it out of the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea and would perish together with the remnants of the Tibetan army.
Mo Sha was at a loss. She panicked and said, "Mother, is father really not coming back?"
Princess Changle immediately frowned. She said proudly, "Who is your father? He is the great Mo Jiazi. It's not like he hasn't been to the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea. Your father must have gone far away in pursuit of the enemy. Otherwise, he would have come back long ago."
Mo Sha heard her mother's promise and nodded solemnly. She said, "I told you. Father promised me that he would come back. Next time, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will beat them up."
This time, Princess Changle did not discipline Mo Sha. Instead, she gently hugged Mo Sha and said, "That's right. If anyone talks nonsense again, I will beat them up."
Suddenly, Princess Changle felt pain in her abdomen. She could not help but cry out in pain.
"Guards! Go to the hospital! " Princess Changle hurriedly called out. With the experience of giving birth to Mo Sha, Princess Changle immediately understood that the child in her belly was about to be born.
In an instant, the entire Mo clan became busy. However, everything was orderly. Clearly, everyone in the Mo clan had done a lot of preparation for this moment.
Very soon, the carriage hurried along. Princess Changle was safely sent to the Women and Children's Hospital. At the same time, someone was sent to the palace to inform Empress Zhangsun.
In the Legislative Hall, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were worried.
Empress Zhangsun frowned. She said, "Is there still no news from Meton and the Firearms Supervisor?"
"Meton is too stubborn. The Firearms Supervisor managed to avert danger with great difficulty, but Meton is actually chasing after the remnants of the Tubo army. He even went as far as to go into the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea." Li Shimin gritted his teeth in anger.
In his opinion, how could a mere thousand remnants of the Tubo army be more important than the Firearms Supervisor and Meton's safety? As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall. However, Meton actually ignored the risk and chased after them into the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea.
Don't chase a cornered enemy. This was publicly acknowledged. The remnants of the Tubo army were cornered cornered enemies. In the end, they actually led Mo Jiazi and the Firearms Supervisor into the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea. Everyone knew their intentions. They wanted to perish together with Mo Jiazi.
At present, the officers and soldiers of the western expedition to Gaochang had returned victorious one after another, but the Firearms Supervisor and the son of the School of Mohism, who had performed the most meritorious service, were still missing.
"It's too late to say anything now. We can only hope that Meton can create another miracle. "Empress Zhangsun comforted.
In fact, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun didn't say it out loud. Meton had already gone into the Eight Hundred Li Immensity Sea for too long. According to normal people's estimates, the chances of the Firearms Supervisor surviving were too low. It was only because Mo Jiazi had created miracles again and again that everyone had a glimmer of hope.
A palace maid hurriedly came in and reported, "Reporting to the Emperor, Princess Changle is about to give birth."
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were shocked. They immediately got up and went to the Women's and Children's Hospital. It was reasonable to say that Princess Changle was having a second child, so there shouldn't be any risks. However, Meton hadn't returned yet. Princess Changle was giving birth alone. As parents, how could they be at ease? They immediately put down everything and rushed over.
"How is Changle's condition?"
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun quickly arrived at the Women's and Children's Hospital. However, they didn't see Princess Changle's figure, so they quickly asked.
"Reporting to the Emperor and Empress, Princess Changle's condition is currently stable. She has already entered the delivery room." Madam Zhang saw Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun come over and quickly bowed.
"Greetings to the Emperor and Empress!" Uncle Fu led everyone in the Mo Estate to bow.
"Grandfather Huang, Grandmother Huang!" Mo Sha threw herself into Empress Zhangsun's arms and sobbed.
"Mo Sha, don't cry. Grandmother Huang is here." Empress Zhangsun hugged Mo Sha and comforted her.
Mo Sha wiped her tears and said softly, "I miss father."
Immediately, everyone's heart sank. They didn't want to talk about this topic. Only Empress Zhangsun hugged Mo Sha and comforted her softly.
However, what everyone didn't know was that outside Chang 'an City, a carriage from the Mo Family was speeding towards Chang' an City. This carriage had four horses waiting for it every fifty kilometers. It changed horses and coachmen, but did not change people. At the same time, it traveled day and night. Its speed was far faster than the imperial court's eight hundred kilometers.
"Young Master, we've arrived at Chang 'an City!" As the carriage slowly stopped, the coachman revealed a hint of joy.
The window of the carriage slowly opened, revealing a face. It was none other than the son of the Mo family, who was the talk of the town in Chang 'an. Modun took a deep breath and could not help but laugh. "Chang' an, I'm back!"
