Chapter 68

After Chen Jin had enough cry, Chu Xiuming asked someone to bring water to her to wash, and he himself ordered someone to prepare water, and he also needed to wash. Chen Jin washed his face and applied the cream. After plucking his cheeks, he grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and walked to the inner room. After entering, he let go of Chu Xiuming and opened the wardrobe, took out a bag from it and put it on the table. After opening it, he saw that there was a whole set of clothes inside, and muttered, "You can't wear it later when you come back."

This winter clothes were made by Chen Jin himself, and there were not many patterns embroidered, but the stitches were tight, so you could tell that they had put some thoughts at a glance, even shoes and socks. Chu Xiuming touched the clothes with his hand, looked at Chen Jin and suddenly smiled and said, "I'm lucky to catch up."

Chen Jin said in a bad voice, "Switch it quickly." Unfortunately, his eyes were red and he sniffed, without any momentum.

Chu Xiuming did not change it immediately, but just said, "I'll go take a shower."

Chen Jin responded, then took it over, and sank his hand Jin Chu Xiuming's hand, "My roasted sweet potatoes are all muddy."

"Let Anping bake you another good one." Chu Xiuming held Chen Jin in one hand and gently wrapped his stomach with the other.

Chen Jin responded, and the two of them didn't say anything for a while. When the hot water was ready, Chen Jin followed Chu Xiuming to bathe again like a little tail, and didn't even want to separate for a while.

Chu Xiuming felt more distressed when he looked at his little lady, and his eyes softened a lot. He did not let the maid serve him when he was bathing, but he handed him over to the servant. After Chen Jin and others added hot water, they sent the servant out. Rolled up their sleeves and washed Chu Xiuming's hair and back with their own hands. He made sure that there were no extra scars on Chu Xiuming's body. Then he completely relieved and whispered, "They all said you are missing."

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming's voice was soft, completely dissipating the cold and murderous intent on his body. At this time, Chu Xiuming didn't look like the invincible general at all, but more like a gentle nobleman. "I promised you that you would come back safely." Chen Jin had never served anyone to wash, so he was a little clumsy, but Chu Xiuming only felt comfortable all over.

Chen Jin smiled on his face, reached his hand in front of Chu Xiuming and said, "It's sour."

Chu Xiuming rubbed her funnyly, and Chen Jin then continued to wipe Chu Xiuming's back with satisfaction, "Princess Ruyang and the princess went to the border town. I asked Manager Zhao to send a letter to his younger brother and ask him to raise the people."

"My wife is so smart." Chu Xiuming said with his eyes closed.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "I'm a little fatter again."

Chu Xiuming gradually calmed down, and his eyebrows became softer. He listened to Chen Jin whispering and talking nonstop, and he didn't feel bored at all. Chen Jin was pregnant after all, so he wiped Chu Xiuming's back and sat back on the chair and stopped moving. Chu Xiuming changed his clothes after washing himself. Anping and An Ning came in to serve him. Madam Zhao held Chen Jin's hand and said, "Madam, be careful."

"Yeah." Chen Jin responded, looked at Chu Xiuming, and when Chu Xiuming's hair was half dry, he walked over and reached out to hold Chen Jin's hand. The two of them returned to Chen Jin's room.

Madam Zhao had prepared the meal, but she didn't make any complicated things. She only put beef noodle soup and Chen Jin's roasted sweet potatoes. Chen Jin first picked a few pieces of beef from Chu Xiuming's bowl and ate it. Then she sat beside him and started eating roasted sweet potatoes. She also fed Chu Xiuming a bite from time to time. Madam Zhao took the dry cloth and continued to wipe Chu Xiuming's head.

When Cuixi came over, Chen Jin was holding Chu Xiuming's bowl and drinking the soup inside. After taking a few sips, he returned it to Chu Xiuming and asked, "But is the mother's fault? I wanted to wait for my husband to use something, so I went to greet my father and mother's wife."

"When the princess says, the princess is asking me to come and talk to Yongning Bo and the princess, so that you don't have to go there today. It's better to have a good rest if Yongning Bo has just returned." Cui Xi said with a smile.

Chen Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "It's still my mother who feels sorry for me."

Chu Xiuming nodded and said, "Then I will not be polite. I will tell my mother-in-law that I will take my wife to pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law on the day."

Cuixi responded, Chen Jin smiled and said, "Don't rush to leave first. Come to An Ning to drink the soup in the house next to you. The road is also cold, don't suffer from the cold."

"Princess Xie." Cuixi knew Princess Rui's attitude towards Yongning Bo and Shen Jin, so she did not seem polite.

An Ning smiled and attracted Cuixi to go down.

After knowing that he didn't have to go to the main courtyard, Chen Jin yawned and said, "I'm a little sleepy." He couldn't help but feel tired after crying. With Chu Xiuming by his side, he became lazy.

Chu Xiuming also used up his meal, tied his hair up with a hairband, and said, "Then go to bed."

Chen Jin didn't say anything, looked at Chu Xiuming, and Chu Xiuming spoke, "Together."

"Yeah." Chen Jin then responded.

Madam Zhao didn't say anything. Whether it was Chu Xiuming or Chen Jin, they were probably tired during this period, so she simply served them to wash up. Chu Xiuming said, "Check things in order."

"Yes." Madam Zhao understood what Chu Xiuming meant. Since he had returned, it would be a bit inappropriate to live in Moyunyuan. She straightened her things and waited for Princess Rui to say hello to the original yard. Logically, Chu Xiuming should move back to the Yongning Bo Mansion, but the New Year is coming soon. Yongning Bo Mansion is too cold, and Chu Xiuming also wants his wife to be happier.

Seeing that Chu Xiuming had no other instructions, Madam Zhao stepped down and carefully closed the door. Chen Jin was sitting on the bed and watching Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming walked over and rubbed her head, then took off her clothes and went to bed. Chen Jin comfortably got into the quilt and leaned against Chu Xiuming's arms, and whispered, "The children will move."

Chu Xiuming put his hand gently on Shen Jin's stomach and said, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Chen Jin closed his eyes, yawned again and said, "The child is very well-behaved. Do you think it will be a daughter or a son?"

"No matter which one it is, I like it." Chu Xiuming said the truth.

"But I have been studying military books for my child. If it were my daughter, wouldn't it be bad?" Chen Jin asked in a low voice.

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed Chen Jin's hair, and said, "No."

Chen Jin felt at ease, reached out and grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, linked his fingers, and said, "Husband, it's great that you are back."

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming's voice was a little dull, "Sleep at ease."

Chen Jin then responded and closed his eyes to rest. Although Chu Xiuming felt tired, he didn't want to sleep. His wife and son were in his arms. He heard Chen Jin crying so many grievances, but there was no complaint in his words. He did not blame himself for leaving when she was pregnant and was fragile. After all, it was just acting cute. It was because of this that Chu Xiuming felt even more distressed. Chen Jin would not say some things, but it did not mean that Chu Xiuming would not ask, "Sleep, I'm here." His voice was low and pleasant, and Chen Jin was sleeping in a daze and rubbed against Chu Xiuming's arms.

Chen Jin was sleeping very comfortably, but he didn't know that the sky was overwhelming outside. Who would have thought that Chen Jin, who had been watching it, fell ill after Chu Xiuming came back. It was still in the middle of the night that Chen Jin was pregnant and had a temperature higher than usual, but the breath he exhaled was not so hot. Chu Xiuming quickly got up and called Zhao Mama and the others, and then passed on the doctor.

Fortunately, Chen Jin was not suffering from cold, but a weak fire. I think it was a while ago... Chu Xiuming heard news of his disappearance. Even though Chen Jin had always believed that he would come back, he would inevitably be worried and afraid, but he could not show it, because the person who could protect her was not by her side, and there were many bad intentions outside. Although Chen Jin did not show it, he was always at ease.

Chu Xiuming sat by the bed, reaching out to hold Chen Jin's. Even if Chen Jin didn't wake up, he would cry softly when he felt that Chu Xiuming was not around. The whimpering sound like a wounded animal was particularly distressed to the person.

Princess Rui and Shen Qi both came here in person. Looking at Princess Chen who was crying and red-eyed, Princess Rui sighed and said, "When I usually see this child as if he is okay, who would have thought that they would be buried in my heart."

Concubine Chen said, "Master, you are pregnant now, don't be sick."

"It's okay." Chen Qi also knew that Chen Jin was not Fenghan, "Have you sister not awake?"

"The doctor said she would fall asleep." Concubine Chen whispered.

Because Chen Jin kept holding Chu Xiuming's hand, Chu Xiuming could only sit by the bed. When Princess Rui and the others came in, they couldn't get up. Princess Rui didn't care and said, "Sit down, don't bother Jin girl."

Chu Xiuming nodded without saying anything. He took the handkerchief from the maid's hand and gently wiped Chen Jin's forehead. Chen Jin's face was flushed and sweaty from his forehead. If it weren't for the overheated body temperature, no one would have thought she was sick. Princess Rui was just here to visit and said, "Take good care of Madam Jin, I'll ask the prince to ask you for leave from the court."

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Chu Xiuming said.

Princess Rui didn't say anything more and took Chen Qi away. Because Chen Qi was big, they came in a sedan chair and left Moyunyuan. Chen Qi suddenly said, "Mother, for some reason, I felt a little scared when I looked at my brother-in-law."

"This is natural." Princess Rui glanced at Xue outside and said, "When Xuan'er was still studying, he was afraid he would go to the battlefield. Chu Xiuming was a wild beast with blood." That is, Emperor Cheng was as naive as he treated Chu Xiuming as a tamed domestic animal and wanted to control it at will.

Chen Qi said, "Sister, it's better to be earlier."

Princess Rui responded. Chu Xiuming can still maintain his rationality now. If Chen Jin really wants to... Princess Rui slowly exhaled and said, "You should also pay attention to your health and go back."

"Yes." Chen Qi got into the sedan chair.

When Concubine Chen saw Chu Xiuming's appearance, she couldn't persuade her, so she couldn't get involved, so she simply went to the small Buddhist temple in the courtyard, hoping that her daughter would be safe and happy for the rest of her life.

Madam Zhao said, "General, please use some food for a while?"

"Come on." Chu Xiuming handed the handkerchief to the maid, then sorted it out for Chen Jin, and said.

Madam Zhao responded, An Ning quickly moved the small table and placed it in front of Chu Xiuming. Madam Zhao brought the food. Because Chen Jin had been holding Chu Xiuming's hand, Chu Xiuming could only eat with one hand. Madam Zhao served soup and placed it at Chu Xiuming's hand.

Smelling the scent of the food, Chen Jin, who was lying on the bed, moved her fingers on Chu Xiuming's hand. Chu Xiuming paused while picking up food, put down his chopsticks, turned his head to look at the bed, and saw Chen Jin yawn with his eyes closed, then moved his lips, and then opened her eyes. She clearly felt that she was sleeping very comfortable, but her body was sore and tired, and she was still a little confused for a moment. She looked at Chu Xiuming stupidly, then yawned again, let go of Chu Xiuming's hand, then stretched out her hands from the quilt, rubbed her back with her eyes, and then said, "I'm hungry too..."

Because I just woke up, my voice was still a little dumb and soft. I couldn't help but yawn again, and I blinked my eyes before I woke up a little.

Madam Zhao was happy and quickly poured warm water. Chu Xiuming held Chen Jin in one hand and asked her to sit up. She held the cup in the other hand against her lips. Chen Jin lowered her head and drank it in small sips. She leaned softly against Chu Xiuming, and she was too lazy to get out of strength.

Chen Jin looked at the food not far from him, put his hands on Chu Xiuming's neck, and said coquettishly, "I'm so tired, but the baby in my stomach said he was so hungry, what should I do?"

Chu Xiuming lowered his head and kissed Chen Jin's forehead. Chen Jin shyly hid his face in Chu Xiuming's arms, "The nanny is still here."

"I didn't see anything." Madam Zhao said happily when she saw Chen Jin woke up, "I'll let me prepare water now. The lady can wash it and eat."

"Okay." Chen Jin felt weak all over and whispered, "Why don't you ask me to get up?"

Chu Xiuming asked Anping and An Ning to remove all the food first, sat on the bed and hugged Chen Jin in his arms through the quilt and said, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." Chen Jin moved and changed into a more comfortable position, grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand and said, "I still want to sleep, but I woke up after smelling the fragrance of the rice."

Chu Xiuming thought that he and Madam Zhao could not wake up Chen Jin. If the doctor hadn't told Chen Jin to sleep more, they would have been fine, so they would have used cold water to wake Chen Jin up. But who would have thought that Chen Jin would wake up by just the fragrance of food? It was really a little funny. But... it would be fine if he woke up. Even when he was besieged by the enemy and the barbarians were at the city, he was not as helpless and anxious as last night.

"You are sick." Chu Xiuming saw that Chen Jin hadn't realized it yet, rubbed Chen Jin's hair with his jaw and said.

"Ah?" Chen Jin was a little slow to react, and he was stunned for a moment before saying, "No wonder, I feel so tired, I thought I had slept too much."

Chu Xiuming couldn't help but sigh and said, "Silly girl."

"I'm so smart!" Chen Jin said angrily, "Don't think I can bully me if I'm sick."

Chu Xiuming was amused, "Silly girl, hurry up and get better."

Chen Jin grabbed Chu Xiuming's hand, opened his mouth and bit it for a few seconds before saying, "I'm so smart!"

Chu Xiuming responded and suddenly said, "Give me a daughter." Give me a silly daughter who is as obedient as his wife.

"Next time." Chen Jin thought for a while before saying, "I have been studying military books for so long."

Chu Xiuming looked like a person in a painting, and his eyes were full of pampering and loving eyes were even more intoxicating, "Okay."

An Ning brought the hot water over, and didn't have to get out of bed and put everything on the edge of the bed, and then served Chen Jin to wash. Chen Jin felt that he was sick and could be a little more delicate, so he leaned in Chu Xiuming's arms with peace of mind and was served by someone, just like a little fox who had stolen grapes, with a little smugness and joy.

After Shen Jin woke up, Anping went to tell Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen hurried over and saw her daughter sitting on the bed, while Chu Xiuming knelt on one knee, holding Chen Jin's feet in one hand and putting shoes in her with the other. Chen Jin saw his mother's toes moving and smiled, "Mother."

Concubine Chen knew that Yongning had always been spoiled by her daughter, but she didn't know that she was so pampered. And her silly daughter was so stupid that she put her other foot on Chu Xiuming's hand and moved to urge Chu Xiuming to put her shoes on.

Chu Xiuming also saw Concubine Chen and shouted, "Mother-in-law."

Concubine Chen took a deep breath and saw that Madam Zhao and Anping looked normal, so she didn't say much. After all, it would be fine if they were willing. "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's not uncomfortable." Chen Jin waited for Chu Xiuming to put on her shoes, then he pressed Chu Xiuming's shoulder with one hand and stood up with the other hand.

Madam Zhao held Chen Jin, and Chu Xiuming then came to the side to clean his hands. Chen Jin felt a little weak after walking two steps. She frowned and said, "Sit down quickly."

"Yeah." Chen Jin responded, and Madam Zhao held Chen Jin on the chair, An Ning took the cushion and placed it behind, letting Chen Jin lean on it, "Mother, have you eaten? Let's have a meal together?"

Concubine Chen narrowed her eyes and said, "I couldn't wake you up earlier, why did I suddenly wake up?"

Chen Jin frowned and said, "Don't tell you."

Concubine Chen lit up her daughter's forehead, "I know if I don't say it."
