The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore

He could sense that Cui Lingyi had something on her mind and was not completely trusting him like she had in the past.

Besides, he himself had something on his mind.

It has been so long since he came back from the two lakes, and a question has always lingered in his mind.

Why did Cui Lingyi know that there would be floods and plagues in the two lakes?

But he didn't dare ask.

Cui Lingyi finally accepted him and they were going to get married.

He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, the person he had agreed to marry would go back on her word again.

He slowly approached the window, leaned his whole body against the pillar next to it, and listened quietly to the shallow breathing in the room.

It seemed that this would allow him and Cui Lingyi to be closer.

The next day, Cui Lingyi got up late.

Only then did I realize that I had a very sound sleep.

But she soon remembered what happened last night.

"Have you found out what time the Marquis left the palace last night? Do you know what happened?"

Bu Se stepped forward and said, "I heard from Qingfeng early in the morning that the Marquis left the palace at midnight, and he went out again early this morning. I heard from the people on the street that there will be a war."

"Ah?" Cui Lingyi was shocked. "Has it spread outside?"

"Yes, it has spread a long time ago." Bu Yun went out to buy things early in the morning. He knew more and interrupted to tell the story.

"Early this morning, His Majesty appointed General Sui as the Marshal of the Northern Expedition and he led his army to the battle! Many people were waiting at the city gate to see him off!"

Cui Lingyi blurted out, "General Sui? General Sui Cheng, the Protector of the Nation?"

Bu Yun shook his head, "I don't know which one it is either."

Cui Lingyi came back to her senses.

Indeed, Bu Yun and she are just ordinary people, why should they worry about these things?

Besides, she had no way to deal with things like war.

However, once the war breaks out, Shen Du might not have much time to accompany her.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the maid come to report that Shen Du had arrived.

Cui Lingyi was puzzled. Wasn't he busy at work? How could he still have time to come over?

Bu Yunbuse welcomed the person in and left quietly.

"Ali."

Cui Lingyi met Shen Du's dark eyes and said, "I thought you would be on duty today."

"No, I'm just dealing with some random things."

Shen Du came over, took one of her hands and squeezed her palm.

"It's cold in the morning, dress warmly."

As he spoke, he took the cloak from the screen rack beside him and wrapped her up.

"The mansion has a few white fox furs, and I have already asked someone to make them. They will be available to wear tomorrow..."

After taking her to sit down, he began to talk about what happened yesterday.

It’s similar to what Bu Yun said, there is going to be a war.

"I came back late last night. I should have sent a letter..."

Judging from what he said, he should know that she had asked someone to find Qingfeng to find out.

Cui Lingyi smiled, "Eunuch Li just mentioned it, and seeing that you didn't come so late, I thought something was wrong."

"It's okay. The Imperial City Department is independent of the six ministries and will not participate in the war. Ah Li, don't worry."

Not worried?

In your previous life, you went to the battlefield.

Cui Lingyi thought to herself.

After thinking about it, I asked.

"Is that Marshal of the Northern Expedition the Protector of the Nation General Sui Cheng?"

Although it was a question, the tone was particularly affirmative.

Shen Du's eyes darkened.

"Hear from outsiders?"

"Well. Can that Sui general return victorious?"

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it's hard to say now. When did Ah Li become interested in war?"

Cui Lingyi frowned.

"I'm just curious....has nothing else happened recently?"

"What did Ali say?"

"It's natural disasters or man-made disasters, such as plague..."

Thinking of the previous floods in the two lakes, Shen Du's eyebrows jumped violently.

Cui Lingyi knew it was reasonable that the news of the army's expedition could not be concealed from the people.

But the matter of the plague was top secret.

No one knew except the people who were in the imperial study last night.

Why does Cui Lingyi seem to suspect that a plague has occurred?

"Why did Ah Li suddenly talk about the plague?"

"Isn't it said that there will be a plague after a disaster? The floods in the two lakes were so severe, I heard from Sister Pearl that there is a high possibility of a plague."

Cui Lingyi considered.

She also knew that saying such things might arouse Shen Du's suspicion.

But she was eager to confirm how big the difference was compared to her previous life?

I couldn't help but ask.

Shen Du narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ali's worries are correct. The plague has indeed occurred."

"Ah!" Cui Lingyi was surprised, and there was a hint of anxiety in her voice.

"How far has it come now? Are we almost in Beijing?"

Shen Du's pupils shrank, and he tightened his fingers in his sleeves.

Something just feels wrong.

"The specific situation is unclear. The northern border is large, so it is unlikely to spread to Shangjing."

Cui Lingyi was surprised again.

"You mean the plague didn't happen in the two lakes?"

Shen Du shook his head.

"No, it's the prefectures in the central part of Northern Xinjiang."

Cui Lingyi was stunned for a while.

Just like in the previous life, the plague finally happened?

But the place has changed.

Became the Northern Frontier.

Isn't that where the war is going to be fought?

If Sui Cheng were the same as in his previous life, he would eventually be defeated and surrender.

Will Shen Du be the one to clean up the mess?

"is it serious?"

Shen Du frowned.

In the past, Cui Lingyi never cared about these things.

War, plague, including previous floods, food hoarding...

It seems that two years ago, besides refusing to marry him, she had also undergone many changes that he was unaware of....

"From the current reports, the situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid the northern Xinjiang region will suffer a disaster."

Cui Lingyi didn't notice the inquiring expression on Shen Du's face, and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty won't let you go to Northern Frontier, right?!"

Shen Du froze.

What is she worried about?

After thinking about it, I decided to answer honestly.

"It all depends on whether General Sui can return victorious. But Ah Li, don't worry too much. I've led tens of thousands of troops from the Imperial City Department, which has already caused the ministers to be wary. His Majesty won't let me lead the troops!"

Cui Lingyi curled her lips.

A cloud of worry had already covered his face.

"That's impossible to say!"

"Why, are you worried about me?"

As Shen Du spoke, there was a hint of laughter in his voice.

Cui Lingyi was stunned for a moment.

Can you not worry?

Many things in this life are different from those in the previous life.

But many disasters that were destined to happen have happened.

Such as floods, plagues, wars...

Speaking of plague, she really felt strange.

The plague in the previous life was caused by a flood in the two lakes region, which resulted in more than 10,000 deaths and injuries among the people and left the land starving.

This also indirectly led to the Northern Kingdom's massive attack on Dajing.

But in this life, we have survived the floods safely.

After such a long time, there has been no plague in the two lakes area.

However, wars and plagues still happened.

And it is also concentrated in the northern Xinjiang region.

It can be seen that many things have changed.

But the disaster that was destined to happen will still happen.

It seems that at this moment one year from now, someone will put a knife to her back.

Eventually, she will die as well.
