Chapter 465: Missing You
Looking at this scene, Ye Jintang's head was buzzing. With two children and three small animals, she had endless lawsuits to deal with all day long.
"Xiao Jin, don't steal Flame's meat anymore."
Ye Jintang picked up Xiao Jin, and it chirped happily like a fool.
It seems that I need to give it more spring water so that it can grow its brain and stop being so stupid all day long.
With the children talking non-stop around her, Ye Jintang had no time to think about Xiao Mo. All her thoughts were occupied by the children. Her ears were never idle throughout the whole day.
Until the evening, when the two children went to bed and Xuetuan and the others returned to their nest, Ye Jintang washed up and lay in bed ready to go to sleep, when he suddenly felt empty in his heart.
In the past, she always had cold feet at night in winter, and Xiao Mo would warm her feet and the bed every night.
When I sleep in his arms at night, I won’t feel cold all night.
Now when she sleeps alone, she still feels cold even with a hot water bottle to warm the bed.
"Hey, I should have gone back to the capital with Xiao Mo earlier."
Ye Jintang couldn't help but sigh, but then she smiled again.
She has two little babies, so how can she just leave? She can ensure her own safety, but she can't guarantee the safety of her two children.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at the two children who were sleeping very sweetly beside her.
She vaguely remembered that her best friend once told her that babies are the most naughty. They want to sleep with their mothers at night, have midnight feedings, have diaper changes, and get up in the middle of the night to ask for their mothers to play with them.
This is not so bad. Some children have poor stomachs. If they suffer from colic, they will not be able to sleep all night long, and both adults and children will suffer.
After taking care of a child for three years, even a beautiful woman will become a haggard woman.
When she gave birth to her two children, Ye Jintang was prepared for a long-term battle.
It turned out that the two children were not as terrible as the rumors said. They just needed to drink milk at night because of their fast digestion in the beginning.
Starting from 4 months, they can sleep through the night without waking up, and you only need to change their diapers in the middle.
Ye Jintang hardly experienced the pain of raising children, and the children grew up.
The two little babies who were naughty all day long did not need her to worry about at night. They almost slept until dawn and did not even need their diapers changed.
Thinking about it this way, her twin boy and girl are simply angel babies.
With all sorts of random thoughts in his mind, Ye Jintang slowly fell asleep, but this dream was somewhat embarrassing.
In a half-asleep state, Ye Jintang scolded Xiao Mo harshly, saying that it was all because of his frivolous behavior that he led her astray. The next time she saw him, she would squeeze him dry so that he would never be arrogant again.
Xiao Mo, who was far away in the capital, had not slept yet. He could not help sneezing and wondered in his heart whether Ye Jintang was thinking about him so late at night.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly and his heart was extremely sweet. This battle for the throne had to end quickly. It felt too painful to be separated from Ye Jintang for several months. If it continued like this, he was afraid that he would get lovesick.
He also has two children. He heard people say that babies change every day, and he has no idea what they look like now.
"Your Highness, General Shi sent word that Xiao Changming has sent another 10 men to Nanping City. It looks like he wants to fight you to the death."
Jiang Heng hurried into the study, only to see Xiao Mo lighting an oil lamp and carefully studying the city's defense arrangements.
"Let him send his troops. His people may not even reach Nanping City before the throne changes hands."
As he spoke, Xiao Mo looked up at Jiang Heng, only to see some snowflakes falling on his shoulders.
"Is it snowing outside?"
"Yes, the snow is quite heavy. It looks like it won't stop any time soon."
Xiao Mo put down the city defense map in his hand and strode out. He looked up at the inky black night sky from the corridor and had an idea in his mind.
Originally his plan was quite tight. After all, it would not take many days to march quickly from the capital to Nanping City. The next snowstorm would directly slow down the advance of Xiao Changming's army.
If they received news halfway and knew that he had raised an army, they would not be able to rush back immediately. This would be a great opportunity for him.
Xiao Mo immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the plan to seize the throne.
At the same time, Zhou Quankun, who had just returned to the capital, had not yet recovered from his injuries when Yao Zhen brought him bad news.
All the blame for the failure of the siege of Nanping City was put on him, saying that he deserted the battlefield, causing the army to lose morale and ultimately lead to a complete defeat.
This was the first large-scale battle since Xiao Changming ascended the throne. He was defeated so miserably and his face was thrown on the ground and trampled on. How could he swallow this?
An imperial decree directly sentenced Zhou Quankun to death, and the crime charged was the most shameful thing for a soldier: deserting the battlefield.
When Zhou Quankun received the news, he never expected that he would become a scapegoat one day.
"Zhen'er, quickly arrange a carriage for me. I'm leaving now."
Yao Zhen was also extremely anxious.
"I will go to the palace now and ask Ye Yanran to help you ask Xiao Changming for mercy. With how favored Ye Yanran is, Xiao Changming will definitely give her some face if she asks."
"It's useless. Xiao Changming knows that I'm Ye Yanran's man. He issued this imperial decree to make an example of others and use my life to tell everyone that whoever dares to desert the battlefield will suffer the same fate as me."
"If there was room for maneuver, Xiao Changming would not have issued this imperial decree."
Yao Zhen took one look at the injuries on Zhou Quankun's body and her eyes instantly turned red.
"You are so badly injured that it is very inconvenient for you to move. Even if you run, where can you run to?"
"You can't just wait here and get beheaded."
Zhou Quankun took the painkillers given by Yao Zhen, got on the carriage with the help of his men, and headed for another hiding place.
Xiao Changming's men went in search but failed to capture Zhou Quankun. They searched everywhere in the capital, forcing Zhou Quankun to flee like a stray dog.
Yao Zhen was trapped in the palace by Ye Yanran on the pretext of recuperating her body, so she had no time to take care of him for a while.
Zhou Wuwei knew all the movements of the two men. Seeing that Zhou Quankun was almost tortured, he sent someone to knock him unconscious and took him out of the capital through the secret passage.
The Zhou family's ancestral tomb is on a hill not far from the outskirts of the capital. Standing on the hill, you can even see the towering city walls of the capital from afar.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds came from not far away.
"General Shi arrived at the perfect time. Zhou Quankun is still in the carriage."
Shi Bin followed Zhou Wuwei's gaze and saw a horse-drawn carriage parked beside the mountain road, which was usually used to carry cow dung, with a large sack on it.
I don’t know when the person inside woke up. He kept moving around and making a humming sound.
"Fortunately, my horse runs fast enough, otherwise I would not be able to catch up with this last blow."
Zhou Quankun was dragged off the carriage and thrown heavily to the ground. He already had an arrow wound on his body, and the fall almost cost him his life.
