Chapter 319 Ending ([-])
But at this time, the Jiao had already jumped onto the deck.

Huo Mingzhu gasped.

This is not the size of an adult's body, this dragon is bigger than two adults, it is afraid that it can swallow any of them in one gulp.

"Ah Jin, don't make a sound." Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu were a little far away, watching the Jiao slip past her, his hands were trembling with fright, and he couldn't help calling out a reminder.

When he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted the Jiao's attention, it turned its head, looked in the direction of Baili Jingqi, and just stood still there.

Seeing this scene, Huo Mingzhu raised her heart to her throat.

Fortunately, the Jiao just glanced at it, but turned its head away not interested, and got into the boat with its tail twisted.Su Hui hid in the boat, Jiao just passed by, and it touched her cheek with a centimeter short of its body, which made her face change in fright.

After the Jiao left and got into the boat, Su Yu fell to the ground with tears in her eyes, Fang Tieyi ran over quickly, picked up Su Yu, and ran to the deck.

Seeing Sulu in such a miserable state, she thought she was injured, Huo Mingzhu stared at Fang Tieyi closely, Fang Tieyi touched the top of Sulu's hair intimately, and said: "I scared Jiao, it's okay."

Huo Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the sound of Jiao's body crawling over was heard again, and several people hurriedly squatted on the deck, just now they knew that Jiao was not interested in them, so they were not so worried.

As soon as the few people squatted down, the dragon came out with an egg in its mouth, and it was as big as a child's head, and it could vaguely see that there was another egg in its mouth.

Fang Tieyi said: "At the bottom of the hull, there are three eggs. The subordinates think that's why this dragon is chasing us."

Huo Mingzhu nodded, she, who was pregnant with a child, could understand what that Jiao was thinking.

However, at this moment, one of the eggs in the dragon's mouth dropped onto the deck, and the egg was broken into a pile, and the small snake that had already formed inside could be vaguely seen.

The Jiao went mad in an instant. It turned its head viciously, glared at a few people, and then swept its tail fiercely at the four of them. Baili Jingqi hurriedly hugged Huo Mingzhu in his arms, and rolled around on the deck, avoiding the attack. opened its tail.

When Jiaoyi found out that they were avoided, it got angry, opened its mouth, carefully placed the two eggs in its mouth on the ground, and then prepared to kill Huo Mingzhu and others in one fell swoop.

Originally, this boat was its nest, so it’s okay to let them take it away. It’s hard work for me to have three eggs in my mouth, and I even made a sound to scare it. As a result, it lost a child, and it wanted to kill these people .

The huge Jiao rolled on the deck, trying to kill four of them, they struggled to dodge, Su Hao had no martial arts, Fang Tieyi hugged her to avoid at first, but finally had to let go because his foot was injured , if he hugged her again, both of them would die.

However, Su Yu couldn't dodge Jiao's attack nimbly after all, she sprained her foot and fell to the deck. Fang Tieyi saw it and ran over to block her.

Of course, Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu would not stand by and interfere with Jiao in a hurry.

Jiao directly flicked his tail and threw Baili Jingqi out. Baili Jingqi fell on the deck and rolled to the outside because he couldn't stand the force.

Huo Mingzhu watched helplessly as Baili Jingqi's body hit the mast, the mast broke, and he rolled down. Fortunately, he grabbed the railing, so he didn't fall.

"Jing Qi, how are you?" Huo Mingzhu shouted in fear.

"I'm fine." Baili Jingqi replied, trying hard to get back on the deck, if he fell, he would have fallen into the sea.

However, the Jiao found that Baili Jingqi hadn't been killed, so he wanted to sweep over with his tail again. Huo Mingzhu didn't even think about it, and ran over directly, blocking Baili Jingqi.

Baili Jingqi took a look and roared, "No, Jin, let's go."

Huo Mingzhu didn't move at all.

The miracle happened at this time, the dragon withdrew its tail, tilted its huge head to look at Huo Mingzhu, then slowly moved towards Huo Mingzhu, and when it was on her stomach, rubbed He rubbed it, and almost sent Huo Mingzhu into the sea.

Finally, it returned to the egg it had placed on the deck, and with the egg in its mouth, it swam into the sea and disappeared.

Huo Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and fell down on the deck. Afterwards, his body was surrounded by a warm body. In his ears, he heard his exasperated voice: "How dare you do this, how dare you do this!" .”

Baili Jingqi hugged Huo Mingzhu fiercely, the lost and recovered treasure made his heart tremble.

Huo Mingzhu smiled and said: "If you die, the whole family will be together."

Hearing this, Baili Jingqi closed his eyes fiercely, but he couldn't stop a tear from flowing out of his eyes.

In the eyes of Dayong's ministers, Baili Jingqi never went out, and only Huo Mingzhu and Fang Tieyi went out. When the big ship appeared in the river in Shangjing, Shangjing was boiling.

Fang Tieyi and Sulu had serious expressions on their faces, and they were wearing filial piety clothes, kneeling on the deck.

Seeing this scene, everyone guessed when exactly it happened, and at the same time guessed where Huo Mingzhu went and where General Feng Wei went.

Without saying a word, Fang Tieyi let the army sent by Baili Jingqi bring him into the palace, and the ship was heavily guarded by the army sent by Baili Jingqi. no.

After Fang Tieyi entered the palace to face the saint, the news came from the palace.

The empress dowager died.

It is said that after Fang Tieyi uttered the news, the emperor fainted on the spot in the Golden Luan Hall. After careful treatment by the imperial hospital, Fang imperial physician even spent his whole life in academics to snatch the emperor back from the hands of the god of death, but that's it , the emperor had been lingering on the bed for several months before getting better.

And it is said that the countless treasures brought by the general there were all handed over to the treasury. He also asked the emperor and the queen mother to be merciful and sympathetic to the people of Dayong. The emperor thought of the empress dowager's mercy and granted this request.

However, the Queen Mother passed away, and the whole country mourned, but they could not celebrate such a blessing.

The people of Dayong are very curious about how the queen mother disappeared, where General Fang and his wife found so many treasures, etc., have always been things that people talk about.

In the following year, there were successive rumors that the treasure that Fang Tieyi and others had found after a near-death escape, and that the Queen Mother disappeared because of being bitten by a poisonous scorpion. It was cursing the scorpion as a vicious thing that could not tell the good from the bad, and at the same time cried a few times for Huo Mingzhu.

Three days after Fang Tieyi came back to the capital, his beloved wife contracted a strange disease that could infect others, and convulsed incessantly.

In the end, an eminent monk came to Fang's mansion, he made calculations, and said that the master had passed away, if he didn't go, he would have to hide from the world for at least a year before he could recover. General Fang loved his wife so much that he specially sent her to another courtyard to recuperate.

Everyone in the world thought that the general's wife who would infect others with strange diseases lived in General Fang's other courtyard, and they would not dare to approach him, but they didn't know that this other courtyard was Baili Jingqi's other courtyard.In addition to Sulu, there is also Huo Mingzhu who lives in it.

The empress dowager, whom the world thought was dead, was lying on the imperial concubine chair with a big belly, basking in the sun leisurely.

"Master, are you hungry? Come and use some freshly made sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Su Ling came over with a hot, fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said to Huo Mingzhu who was lying down with a smile.

Huo Mingzhu glanced at Sulu lazily, and sighed: "Is it late autumn again?" Her stomach is already in August, so thinking about it is still very fast.

It turned out that when the four of them were about to arrive in Shangjing that day, Baili Jingqi and Huo Mingzhu had already disguised themselves, left the ship first, and returned to Shangjing by land.

Due to constant running and improper diet, Huo Mingzhu's fetus was a little unstable, so Baili Jingqi simply persuaded Huo Mingzhu, declaring that she was dead, and stayed in this other hospital to give birth.

After that, in order to ensure the safety of this place, he used plain thread to make a fuss, which prevented the possibility of someone coming here.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed, and Huo Mingzhu's belly is getting bigger and bigger every day, and she is getting more and more lazy, but she eats an unusually large amount.

Sulu loves to tinker with these foods all day long, Huo Mingzhu can use all kinds of delicious dishes and pastries every day, plus she doesn't have any troubles at all, and her body is very healthy.

When the first snow fell after the beginning of winter, a fast horse galloped out of the palace, leaving behind several horses far behind, before the soldiers guarding the city gate had time to react. The horse has already gone out, and there is an extra token in his hand.

Seeing this badge, the soldier guarding the gate was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. This is the Queen Mother's badge. How did it appear in his hand?Before he could figure out what was going on, he had passed out.

Fang Tieyi who came after that hurriedly took back the token, and told other people that today's events are not allowed to spread, let alone the token.

If you want to say why this token appeared here, it wasn't Baili Jingqi who was holding Huo Mingzhu's token to see things and think about others, so Fang Tieyi stepped forward and said something in his ear: "The master is about to give birth."

Baili Jingqi didn't care that he was about to go to court soon, he was still wearing a dragon robe, and he didn't bring his token, so he just got on the horse.

Only then did Fang Tieyi bring a few confidantes, and they followed behind to help Baili Jingqi.

An hour later, Baili Jingqi appeared at the door of the other courtyard, without knocking on the door, he jumped over the wall and went in.

As soon as he entered, he saw many women and maids running in and out with basins in their hands. He ran to the wing where Huo Mingzhu lived, and heard Huo Mingzhu's cry of pain.

"Why haven't you been born yet?" Fang Tieyi received the letter from Feige, plus the time Fang Tieyi was delayed in entering the palace, and finally adding the time he came here from the palace, it has been so long, Huo Mingzhu Having not yet given birth to a child, Baili Jingqi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Knowing that Baili Jingqi is coming, Sulu hurriedly ran out of the delivery room, saluted Baili Jingqi and said to him, "Your Majesty, why did you come here? It's bad luck, you need to go to the main hall."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm right here, tell me, why hasn't A Jin been born after so long?" Baili Jingqi's complexion became a little pale when he heard Huo Mingzhu's cries of pain.

Sulu glanced at Fang Tieyi who came over and said to Baili Jingqi, "Your Majesty just got hurt, and Po Wen said it's not that fast."

"What do you mean it's not that fast?" Baili Jingqi glared at Sulu like a raging beast.

Fang Tieyi was afraid that Baili Jingqi would hurt Suyu, so he hurriedly knelt in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry."

"How can I not worry." Baili Jingqi glared at Fang Tieyi.

Huo Mingzhu was already in labor pain, and when she heard the voice from outside, she wished she could stop the pain and continue after she persuaded Baili Jingqi, but how could she have a baby like this, she wanted to call Baili Jingqimo Panicked, but when she opened her mouth, there was a cry of pain, and in the end she stopped opening her mouth, enduring the pain.

About an hour later, Baili Jingqi's forehead was covered with sweat. He was walking around in the yard irritably, wishing he could go in and see Huo Mingzhu. At this moment, he heard the old woman in the room shouting: " Hurry up, empress, it's about to give birth, work hard."

Baili Jingqi was startled, looking around the room, of course, he couldn't see anything.

After a while, Huo Mingzhu cried out in pain, followed by crying, and the baby was born.

However, before Baili Jingqi even came, he breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Granny Wen say again: "Your Majesty, please push harder, there is one more, there is one more."

After the two children were carried out for Baili Jingqi to have a look at, they insisted on going in to have a look at Huo Mingzhu, but everyone couldn't hold back, and with his direct order, they dared not stop them even more, Baili Jingqi and Sulu hugged Huo Mingzhu alone. With a child into the delivery room.

Huo Mingzhu was still in good spirits, when she saw Baili Jingqi coming in, she looked at him with a smile on her lips and said, "Why did you come in?"

"I'm very worried about you." Baili Jingqi has been insisting since talking with Huo Mingzhu about you and me, as if in this way, the relationship with Huo Mingzhu is just an ordinary couple, not the emperor and queen mother.

"It's like giving birth." Huo Mingzhu's smile revealed happiness.

Baili Jingqi sat on Huo Mingzhu's bedside, and handed her the baby girl in her arms: "Look, our daughter is very similar to you." When Baili Jingqi said this, his tone revealed that Out of pride and love.

"Where's your son?" Huo Mingzhu has actually seen children before. Two children, one son and one daughter, form a good character, which is indeed very good.

"He looks very ordinary." Baili Jingqi obviously liked his daughter more.

"He looks so much like you, how can he be just average?" Huo Mingzhu wanted to hug the baby boy, but Su Yu said: "Madam, your body is still weak, you can hold the little prince in a few days."

"Really?" Baili Jingqi glanced at the baby boy, but still focused on the baby girl, no matter how he looked at it, he thought the baby girl was pretty.

Huo Mingzhu didn't care either, she took Sulu's hand and kissed the baby boy on the forehead: "Hold it out to the nanny."

"Yes." Su Yu took the order.

"Take the princess out too." Baili Jingqi said to the woman on the side. That woman is actually a nanny in the palace and Baili Jingqi's confidant. After the woman took the baby girl steadily, Only then did he salute and back out.

When there was no one else in the room, Baili Jingqi said: "When will you hold the Phoenix Seal for me?"

"Your Majesty, do you think concubines can enter the palace now?" Huo Mingzhu replied following Baili Jingqi's words.

Baili Jingqi sighed fiercely: "Then take a while."

Huo Mingzhu said with a smile: "The life in this other courtyard is very good now, and the concubines don't want to enter the palace."

"Ajin..."

"Haha." Huo Mingzhu laughed.

One month later, when the emperor Baili Jingqi was traveling in Chicheng, he came across a strange woman who was good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, riding, shooting and martial arts. What's more, her appearance was somewhat similar to that of the late queen mother Huo Mingzhu. Like, today's Holy Majesty is so enamored of her that he brought this woman back to the palace and made her a noble concubine of the Ming Dynasty. The common people talked about it with great interest.

Some said that this woman was the emperor's sustenance for the empress dowager. Therefore, the emperor had already fallen in love with the old empress dowager before she entered the palace, but good fortune tricked others, and let the former emperor rob her of his love. Now, it is Transfer love to others.Some people even said that the emperor really loves this woman, and this woman is not at all like the Queen Mother Huo Mingzhu, and so on.

Rumors are just rumors, and they will be settled in the end, but whenever this noble concubine Ming is mentioned, the world always has endless topics to talk about.

This year's New Year's Eve was the first time that Baili Jingqi's family of four celebrated the New Year together.

For Huo Mingzhu, this life is already enough happiness, at least, their family is together now, Huo Mingzhu doesn't care whether Baili Jingqi will be surrounded by other women in the future, he can have such a destination in this life , is God's favor.

Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu raised his wine glass, and said to Baili Jingqi: "Your Majesty, my concubine would like to respect you."

Hearing this, Baili Jingqi smiled at Huo Mingzhu, raised his wine glass, and replied: "Queen, I also offer you a toast. May my queen live forever, and always accompany me by the pillow of the dragon seat. In this life, I will never be with you." separation."

Huo Mingzhu smiled, handed a cup to him and drank, then leaned into his ear and laughed: "Your Majesty made the empress dowager's belly bigger, and gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters. Now she has no name and no role. How can Xiner and Ayan call your majesty?" ? Father or brother?”

Baili Jingqi's complexion changed slightly, and then he sighed, and looked into her slightly drunken eyes lovingly: "...my queen, I will recognize the good deeds I have done, and if I wrong my children, I can't wrong my mother. My son, I... are all willing."
