When the letter was delivered to the capital, Mingjin was arranging flowers at home.

The backyard of the palace is beautiful.

Mingjin likes flowers. Before marrying her, Gu Mingheng invited many famous craftsmen to decorate the back garden of the mansion. Mingjin is in a good mood recently. When she has free time every day, she will plant flowers and plants and make the house tidy and new, which makes people feel bright when looking at it.

Today she was the same as usual.

But she didn't move for many times before her hands suddenly stopped moving.

Hua Sui and Ying Ge were right next to her. When they saw her suddenly stop and look at her lower abdomen, they thought she was feeling unwell.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Hua Sui quickly put down the flowers in his hand, walked over and held her arm, his face pale as he asked nervously.

Although Brother Ying didn't say anything.

But he also looked at Ming Jin nervously, his expression full of nervousness.

"It's okay, he just kicked me." Ming Jin said to them with a smile.

Hua Sui and Ying Ge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard her say this.

"You scared me to death."

Hua Sui patted his chest as he spoke, and then added: "I'll help you sit over there for a while."

Mingjin didn't refuse either.

She let Hua Sui help her sit nearby.

Since she was five months old, she could often feel such noises. One time, when she was eating, she suddenly felt someone kicking her stomach lightly.

She was stunned.

At first she thought she was mistaken.

She didn't know if it was telepathy, but after she thought this, her stomach was hit twice again. This time, there was no way she could be wrong.

Grandmother asked her what was wrong.

Ming Jin told her about this, which made his grandmother and Aunt Pei laugh.

It was then that Mingjin learned that there was such a thing as fetal movement.

Since then, she has been paying close attention to this. She wanted to write a letter to Gu Mingheng several times to tell him about the situation, but she was afraid that it would affect his fighting.

But I can't write to him to tell him.

But Mingjin still wrote down all her feelings after she became pregnant in a booklet, waiting to show the booklet to her husband when he came back.

So that he wouldn't feel like he wasn't involved.

I thought to myself that I should record this incident in a book later.

Ming Jin continued to plant flowers and grass while asking, "Did the Tatars send a letter of surrender today? Go to the gatehouse and ask if Yixian sent anyone to deliver the letter this time."

Although they were separated for more than eight months.

But whenever Gu Mingheng was not fighting or had free time, he would write letters home to let her know he was safe.

At least one letter a month.

Mingjin thought that the war was over, and even if he couldn't come back, he should write a letter to inform the specific time of his return.

Hua Sui smiled and replied.

Ming Jin first sensed something was wrong when Hua Sui came back with a strange look on his face.

Mingjin asked her what was wrong, Huasui hesitated for a long time, and finally Aunt Pei said that there was no letter this time.

Mingjin felt something strange at that time.

Even if he didn't believe it, Hua Sui wouldn't be like this.

But her grandmother had just returned from the Marquis' Mansion and asked her to eat first, so she didn't have time to think about it.

But when she was having dinner that night, she always felt that everyone's expression was a little strange.

Even my grandmother looked a little weird.

Eunuch An, who would come to visit her every day and ask about her health, did not come tonight.

Ming Jin naturally felt something was wrong when seeing this strange thing.

But since his grandmother was still there at the time, Mingjin felt it was strange but didn't say anything.

Until night, she said she was tired and wanted to go to bed first. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then Aunt Pei and the others left. When Ming Jin got up in the dark, he heard them crying outside.

"Aunt, is this true? How could the prince, such a good man, die? I don't believe it, this can't be true!"

"There must be something wrong!"

Hua Suixian began to cry, suppressing his voice, and said as he cried: "Master has been waiting for the prince for so long, what should she do if she knew about this? If the prince, the prince really gets into trouble, what should the master do in the future?"

"Okay, let's stop talking for now. The eldest princess said that this matter must be kept secret from the master for now." Aunt Pei interrupted Hua Sui in a hoarse voice.

Her eyes were also red.

Just now, when the master was here, none of them dared to show any abnormality, for fear that the master would find out. But when she thought of the news coming from the border, Aunt Pei still felt very heartbroken.

Both for her poor lady and for such a good prince.

She didn't believe it either.

But the news came from the border, and the eldest princess went to the palace to inquire in person today.

I heard that when His Majesty heard this, he fainted immediately.

Now the imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau are still taking care of things in Chongming Palace.

How could something that the eldest princess has confirmed be false?

She raised her arm and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. Just as she was about to take Hua Sui and the others away, she went outside to give some instructions so that no one would let the cat out of the bag and be known by the girl.

Then I heard a faint voice behind me: "Who's dead?"

The three of them turned around in disbelief.

Behind the curtain, they saw Ming Jin standing there in a single piece of clothing, holding the curtain and looking at them.

……

The next day.

Mingjin got up as usual.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her grandmother and the others were there, even Mingsheng and Chunyu were there. They all had red eyes, and when they saw her wake up, they all rushed over.

"Why are you all here?"

Ming Jin asked them, and then asked Hua Sui: "What time is it? Did I go to bed late?"

Hua Sui reported a time, and Ming Jin stroked his hair and said, "It's not too late."

"You guys are like this, I thought I slept for a few days."

After she finished joking, she said to her grandmother, "Grandma, I want to eat osmanthus lotus root today, so I need to add more osmanthus sauce."

Princess Fuhua glanced at Aunt Cheng beside her.

Aunt Cheng hurriedly wiped her eyes and went out to give instructions.

Ming Jin said again: "You guys should go out first, I still need to change clothes."

Princess Fuhua looked at her for a while, then stood up and said, "Let's go out first."

Hua Sui was the only one left in the room, helping Ming Jin get up and wash.

Her eyes were very red, but Ming Jin didn't ask anything. He just got up, dressed and washed. However, Hua Sui was really worried seeing her like this.

After the master knew about that incident last night, he said nothing. He just said he was tired and went to sleep.

They wanted to follow in, but their master wouldn't let them.

At that time, they didn't know what to do, so they could only run to ask the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was silent for a long time and just asked them to watch outside and pay close attention.

But last night, the room was very quiet, without any sound at all.

The master woke up like this today.

When Hua Sui saw that his master was the same as usual, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

She would rather her master cry bitterly than do this.

"What are you thinking about?"

The sudden voice interrupted Hua Sui's thoughts.

Hua Sui looked over and saw her master holding two hairpins and asked her which one she liked better.

Hua Sui held back his tears and picked one.

Ming Jin nodded and said with a smile, "I think this one looks good too." After she said that, she gave it to Hua Sui and asked her to wear it.

After finishing her makeup, Mingjin went outside with satisfaction.

Mingsheng sat with her grandmother, waiting for her to eat, and Chunyu and the others also stood together.

As soon as they heard the noise of her leaving, a group of people looked over.

Ming Jin still looked calm. Seeing the table full of breakfast, he smiled and said, "Why are there so many things I like to eat today? I'm really hungry today, so I have to eat more."

She said and sat down.

Then I really started eating.

Seeing her like this, it was hard for everyone not to worry, even Princess Fuhua couldn't help but frown.

"Yanyan..."

She called her hoarsely.

"Ok?"

Ming Jin was eating a steamed dumpling. He looked up and smiled when he met his grandmother's eyes. "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"You, don't you have anything to ask?" Princess Fuhua found it difficult to speak.

She was originally the person who least wanted Yanyan to know about this, but now seeing that she clearly knew about it and was pretending to be nothing, Princess Fuhua couldn't help but become even more worried.

"What do you want to ask?" Ming Jin was surprised.

Princess Fuhua was speechless: "Yixian, he..."

"Oh, that..." Before her grandmother could finish, Mingjin said, "Oh," and naturally interrupted her: "It's fake, I don't believe it."

After she finished speaking, she went back to eating.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and we could see the worried expressions on each other's faces.

Ming Sheng wanted to speak, but Princess Fuhua shook her head and persuaded him to stop.

In the end, no one said anything.

After breakfast, Mingjin went inside to paint as usual, while the others stayed outside.

"Grandma, Yanyan seems to be a little bit abnormal." Ming Sheng looked inside, very worried.

Princess Fuhua was also worried.

But when I think about how I felt when I first learned of the death of my husband, I was in the same mood.

No matter what others said, she refused to believe it.

Until I saw the coffin of the prince consort with my own eyes...

The string that had been taut for her finally broke. It took her nearly half a year to recover.

"In half a month, Yixian's coffin will be delivered back. During this time, you should watch Yanyan carefully and don't let her go out. Don't even mention this matter."

"The midwife and the imperial physician were also asked to be ready at all times."

"I'm afraid Yanyan won't be able to bear it when that time comes..."

Aunt Pei and others lowered their heads and responded.

Ming Sheng cried and whispered to Princess Fuhua: "Grandma, is the prince really... gone?"

Although she had already learned about this from her husband.

But Ming Sheng still refused to believe it.

She couldn't believe it. How could such a good person end up in trouble?

Why did something happen to the prince?

Why is the war over but the prince is gone?

If the prince is gone, what will Yanyan do in the future? Whenever Ming Sheng thought of this, tears could not be stopped and fell down.

Princess Fuhua lowered her head and said nothing.

Her eyes were also red.

When she heard this from her eldest son yesterday, she didn't believe it until the family received the letter Jing Rang sent specially from the border.

Jing Rang also followed Yixian to the expedition this time.

The letter said that the prince had been hit by an arrow during a previous battle, and unexpectedly the arrowhead was poisoned, and the prince had been unable to recover despite long-term treatment.

He was afraid that Mingjin would get to know the news and wouldn't be able to hold on.

So I sent the news back home so that they could make preparations in advance.

When Princess Fuhua saw the letter, she still didn't believe it.
