Return of the Swallow

"Returning to Uncle, the matter of Liangcheng has been properly arranged by the subordinates. The midwife has found the most experienced ones, and the wet nurse has also selected those clean and beautiful ones to prepare there."

"En." Lu Heng pursed his lips, not saying anything more.

The attendant sighed secretly in his heart, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass, and it is true that the ancients did not deceive others.

Lu Heng calculated the time of the journey of Pang Xiao and his party and the month of Qin Yining, and at the slow speed they traveled all the way, when they arrived at Liangcheng, the original border city of the Yan Dynasty, it happened that it was almost time to give birth. Lu Heng also arranged for people to follow him from a distance along the way to ensure everything was safe, because he was worried that Qin Yining would be in danger if bumped along the way.

Although Lu Heng knew that Pang Xiao would make proper preparations for Qin Yining. But he was still worried. The more he can't get it, the more he misses Qin Yining, and now Qin Yining has become his obsession.

Now he is the patriarch of the Lu family, a loyal uncle who is valued by the Holy One, but so what? The woman he loves is still in the arms of others, and what he wants still needs to be fought for by his own efforts.

Although Lu Heng wished that Pang Xiao would die in battle, he never cared less about Qin Yining. He even thought that if Pang Xiao died in battle one day in the future, if Qin Yining's child would also be gone, she would have nothing to worry about, would his chances be greater?

It's just that, he didn't want to make fun of Qin Yining's life safety.

Lu Heng held his breath in his heart. Every time I recall the scene when my grandfather died, I feel like a knife is piercing my heart.

In order to have the opportunity to stand by her side, he had already disregarded the wishes of his grandfather and family, and it would be difficult to get out if he got involved in the court affairs, but he did not regret it.

In his whole life, he always has to fight for what he wants, whether he can get it or not, at least he has no regrets in his heart.

The light snow fluttering like catkins became more and more dense, and the attendants stretched out the oil-paper umbrellas, and Lu Heng would wet his hair and clothes and catch a cold after climbing.

Lu Heng didn't seem to notice it, just immersed in his own thoughts.

Until they rounded the corner of the street, the carriage passing by the uncle's mansion did not regain their senses, and the servants waiting beside the carriage did not dare to disturb them, and could only stay behind them under the reminder of the attendants.

Just when the attendants couldn't help but want to ask Lu Heng, Lu Heng suddenly said, "Where's the carriage?"

"Go back to Uncle, the carriage is ready at any time."

Lu Heng turned around,

Only then did he see the carriage following him, and after getting into the carriage without saying a word, Lu Heng said: "Pass the sign to the palace, I want to face the saint."

The journey in winter is not easy. There is heavy snow in the north, and the snow on the road is as deep as a foot thick. The wheels make a creaking sound when they run over, making it extremely difficult to travel. At this time, there was no need for Pang Xiao to deliberately slow down, and the carriage could no longer pick up the speed.

Fortunately, Pang Xiao was well prepared when he went out, and they didn't suffer much along the way.

Even so, Pang Xiao still loves Qin Yining.

Every time he sees Qin Yining not sleeping well, not eating well, lying dying in the slightly bumpy carriage, and lifting up the heavy curtains to look out in this small space, his heart feels like a big hand He gripped it tightly and twisted it.

"Sister Yi, what do you think?"

"I'm fine." Qin Yining saw that Pang Xiao's brows were about to twitch into pimples in worry again, and helplessly stretched out his slender, pale fingers to lightly touch the center of his brows, "Don't be so nervous. Bingtang just showed me this morning. My body is fine, the fetal image is stable, and both children are healthy. Besides, you have arranged everything properly. When the day is near, we will choose a place Stop for the time being, and it won't be too late to leave after I give birth."

"Yes, I know." Pang Xiao took her hand and put it on his lips and kissed reverently, "I just don't want you to suffer. But I'm the one who makes you suffer."

"Don't be like this. I can go out with you, it's more comfortable than staying in the capital. At least I don't have to worry about your situation every day, stretch my neck and wait for a letter from home that I don't know how long. No need to have an accident You have to pretend to be strong and keep the family members steady.”

Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder, and said in a soft voice, "I can let go of all my defenses and pretense when I'm by your side, and you can help me withstand my weakness."

Pang Xiao's heart was so soft that he felt like soaking in a hot spring that such a nice woman was his wife. He only felt extremely fortunate that this woman belonged to him after all.

A group of people went forward in the snow. Fortunately, the further south they went, the less snow there was, and the weather became more and more wet and cold. Fortunately, they had made enough preparations to go out, and they didn't lack money. Except that the schedule was a little slower, the rest were not delayed.

After walking like this for more than a month, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the group finally arrived in Liangcheng.

It was almost full month now, and Bingtang stayed with Qin Yining all day to observe her symptoms, until the group of people rented a small house in Liangcheng and settled down, Bingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was worried that Qin Yining would have a fit on the road. No matter how well prepared they are, the road is not convenient. At any rate, now that she has a place to live, Bingtang took her accompanying stable woman and experienced nanny to prepare the delivery room as a backup at any time after getting out of the car.

Qin Yining was directly carried into the bedroom by Pang Xiao.

The ground dragon was burning in the room, but the fire had only just been lit, and the room hadn't been completely heated up yet.

Qin Yining was a little tired. The date of delivery was approaching, and she was already worried about various changes and discomforts. However, she didn't want to make Pang Xiao worry and feel guilty. Most of the time, she would not show it.

Now that he finally came to Liangcheng to settle down at this time, Qin Yining was also relieved, and even relaxed a lot.

"We are also lucky, I thought we were going to stay in a hotel." Qin Yining smiled.

Seeing her smile, Pang Xiao couldn't help laughing too, "I thought so too at first, to rent a courtyard in the inn. It's just that I just asked Huzi to explore the way, but I found this house first and just rented it out. .Although the house is not big, it is enough to accommodate our group, and everything in the house is ready-made, so you can move in when you come."

"How can it be such a coincidence that there will be a house when you come here?"

"I also find it strange, but Huzi went to inquire about it. The old couple in this family were picked up by his daughter. When the house was vacant, they rented it out. Don't worry, it's very safe here." Pang Xiao squatted in Qin Yining's room Beside the bed, he asked worriedly, "How do you feel? I think your complexion is not very good."

"I'm fine." Qin Yining smiled, "I'm just a little tired. I want to sleep for a while."

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'll watch over you here." Pang Xiao covered Qin Yining with a quilt, then lay down beside her with his head supported, staring at her sleeping face intently.

Qin Yining didn't sleep well.

She had a dream.

In the dream was a completely strange room, she seemed to be sick, lying on the bed dying, someone beside her was holding her hand and weeping silently.

She seemed to be able to really feel the torment of the illness, and she could also feel that the hot tears of the people around her were dripping on her hands and gradually turning cold.

Then she heard a long hum. It seemed to be tinnitus, which made her suddenly open her eyes.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Pang Xiao propped up half of his body the moment Qin Yining suddenly woke up with shortness of breath, and looked at her worriedly, "How are you?"

"I'm fine." Qin Yining had lingering fears, her mind was full of the dream just now, and the sadness of the imminent parting was like a thread, pulling her spirit, so she had to pay attention to it.

What happened to the inexplicable sadness and regret in my heart?

"Sister Yi? Are you uncomfortable? Don't hold back when you feel uncomfortable, tell me anytime." Pang Xiao turned his head to signal, and Jiyun immediately ran to the delivery room to find Bingtang.

Qin Yining was pulled back from his thoughts by Pang Xiao's voice, and then he recovered some emotions, and smiled: "I'm fine."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, as if to refute her, Qin Yining felt a throbbing pain in his stomach, and her complexion suddenly changed due to the pain.

"What's wrong!" Pang Xiao couldn't help raising his voice, and turned his head anxiously to shout, "Bingtang!"

"I'm coming!"

Bingtang was held by Jiyun and ran in quickly, sat on the edge of the bed for inspection, and said seriously: "My lord, let's move her into the delivery room first."

"Okay, okay." Pang Xiao is panicked now, and he doesn't understand women giving birth, so naturally he listens to what Bingtang says, and immediately hugs Qin Yining, asks Bingtang to wrap Qin Yining in a thick blanket, and then He strode toward the wing that served as the delivery room.

Bingtang told Jiyun and Xianyun: "Go and ask someone to boil hot water, and prepare a big bowl of custard."

They know how to boil hot water, but what about custard?

As if seeing through Jiyun and Xianyun's question, Bingtang said, "How can you have strength if you don't have a full stomach? If you want brown sugar custard, first come ten eggs."

Xianyun and Jiyun nodded and ran away.

Qin Yining had already been placed on the delivery bed at this time, endured a wave of abdominal pain, his face was as pale as paper, and he still didn't forget to urge Pang Xiao, "Get out quickly, this is not where you came from."

"No, I'll just watch you here." Pang Xiao refused to leave no matter what he said, squatting beside Qin Yining's sweaty hand, "Don't be afraid, Sister Yi, don't be afraid, I'm here I'm here with you."

Qin Yining endured the pain, and said dumbfoundedly: "You are here, the nuns are not easy to use, and the delivery room is unlucky, you can't be here, go back, anyway, this house is so big, you can hear any movement."

"Yes, my lord, get out quickly, don't make trouble here!" Bingtang chased away without any politeness.

Pang Xiao was so imposing, poking into the room, even Po Wen's hands trembled in fear, so how could he deliver the baby?

When Pang Xiao saw this, he was afraid of offending Qin Yining, so he had no choice but to go out, but he just stood on the porch and put his ear to the closed door to listen to the movement inside.

Qin Yining had an outbreak here, everyone in the company lived in this house, how could everyone not know about it?

Huzi and Pang Xiao were close, so he came over and asked, "My lord, should we prepare some medicinal materials first? Is the stable woman we brought enough for us?"
