Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 213 Is Your Belly So Big?

After returning from the palace, Gu Chen told Jiang Heyan about his upcoming trip north. When Jiang Heyan heard the news, she had a look of surprise on her face at first, and then a look of worry.

In the room, Jiang Heyan leaned on Gu Chen's shoulder and said worriedly: "It's already November now, and it must be colder in the north, and it may even snow. Your Highness, why must Father? If you go there, you can’t send anyone else.”

Gu Chen smiled and said helplessly: "These armies are transferred from various places, and they will all have leaders, and they belong to different places. Now that we are together, no one will obey the other. I am the prince, and I am the only one. Come and lead the troops, and these soldiers will obey."

After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Jiang Heyan also understood, but still asked a little sadly: "Your Highness, how long will it take you to go to the north this time? Can you come back in early February next year?"

She is now more than six months pregnant and will give birth in mid-February next year. Naturally, His Highness can be with her at that time and watch the birth of the child with her.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Well, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

Hearing Gu Chen's assurance, Jiang Heyan immediately felt relieved, with a sweet smile on her face, "That's good, Your Highness, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay." Gu Chen responded with a smile.

The situation in the north is difficult to say for the time being, but if General Zhao can't do anything, he probably couldn't come up with any good countermeasures in the past.

Therefore, he was not sure whether he could clear away the foreign troubles in Mobei and return to Kyoto.

The reason why I agreed to Jiang Heyan was to make the other party feel at ease.

For a period of time after that, Gu Chen mostly stayed in Prince Zhuang's Mansion, sometimes even not going to the morning court.

It wasn't until the day before departure that Gu Chen took Jiang Heyan to the Duke's Mansion.

Everyone in the Duke's mansion was very happy about the arrival of Gu Chen and Gu Chen, except for a few individuals.

In the main hall, the old grandmother looked at Jiang Heyan's bulging belly and smiled from ear to ear.

"Yan'er, your belly is so big, it's like twins at least! When my grandmother was pregnant with her father, she wasn't as obvious as you."

Mrs. Zhou also showed a rare smile and echoed her grandmother: "It would be best if they are twins."

They were all people who had been there before, and they obviously noticed that He Yan's belly was unusual.

Jiang Heyan's cheeks turned red and she said shyly: "Grandma, mother, you...you still said..."

Although they were all members of her own family, she was still a little nervous and embarrassed now that they were talking about the children in their stomachs.

"Okay, okay, grandma won't say anything. They are all soon to be mothers, and they are still so thin-skinned."

Seeing that Jiang Heyan looked a little embarrassed, the old grandmother stopped teasing.

At this time, Gu Chen stood up and interrupted: "My lord, I have something to ask of you this time."

The Duke of Zhenguo said: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you say so."

Gu Chen said: "Tomorrow I will leave for the north. I don't feel comfortable leaving Yan'er alone in the mansion. The Duke of Guo's Palace is her natal family. I hope that the Duke of Guo and his father-in-law and mother-in-law can take care of Yan'er for me for some time. day."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the old grandmother and Mrs. Zhou, who were still smiling, suddenly stiffened, and their eyes were full of surprise.

You must know that He Yan is now six months pregnant, which is when she needs the most care. His Highness leaving at this time must have been extremely lonely for He Yan.

However, they did not dare to say this. After all, His Highness had to go to the north for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Just thinking about He Yan having to stay alone in an empty room, I couldn't help but feel sad and pity for her.

The Duke of Zhen above was also stunned for a moment, and asked unexpectedly: "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

He also knew about Gu Chen's journey north, but it was a pity that he was an old man now, otherwise he would have gone with him.

"Um."

Gu Chen smiled and nodded.

Seeing Gu Chen's helpless smile, Duke Zhen didn't know how to persuade her, so he said softly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, He Yan is my granddaughter, I will definitely take good care of her and prevent her from making any mistakes. "

"But... if possible, Your Highness should solve the foreign troubles in Mobei as soon as possible and don't let He Yan give birth at home alone..."

Gu Chen smiled slightly, his eyes full of sincerity, "Definitely."

After hearing Gu Chen's assurance, Jiang Heyan beside her couldn't help but look up at his side face and pursed her lips slightly, trying not to show sadness.

In the evening, after having dinner at the Duke's Mansion, Gu Chen asked Jiang Heyan to stay.

"Your Highness."

Just when Gu Chen was about to leave, Jiang Heyan got up from the bed and shouted to Gu Chen softly.

Gu Chen stopped and looked back, "What's wrong?"

"I want you to hug me."

Jiang Heyan pursed her lips, opened her hands, and stared expectantly at Gu Chen at the door. Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and crystal tears were already rolling in her eyes.

Gu Chen quickly walked up to her, hugged her gently, then let go, and said with a smile: "That's all right!"

However, just this inconspicuous action made Jiang Heyan break her guard immediately. Tears dripped down, and she looked at Gu Chen with red eyes, "Your Highness, you have to come back soon, I... .The baby and I are waiting for you here."

Seeing the other party's tears, Gu Chen's heart seemed to be tugged, and there was some indescribable pain. But he still tried his best to smile, and then gently wiped the tears from the corners of the other person's eyes, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back soon. I also plan to be the first to see our baby."

Jiang Heyan raised her lips and said stubbornly, "Then you can't lie to me."

"Do not lie to you."

....

I don't know how long it took before Gu Chen coaxed the girl and let her go to bed to rest before he left the Duke's Mansion.

He actually didn't expect this girl to cry this time.

After all, the last time he went to Huzhou, he had been away from her for a long time. This girl even promised herself that she would help her take good care of Prince Zhuang's Mansion.

But this time, as soon as he learned that he was going north, the other party's mood was always wrong.

As for why He Yan was sent to the Duke's Mansion this time, it was because she was afraid that someone would hit her and the child in her belly.

With the protection of the Zhenguo Duke, it will be much safer.

Early the next morning, Gu Chen had led 150,000 soldiers to the gate of Beicheng, and Emperor Wu personally saw him off. This time, in addition to sending troops to support, a large amount of cold-proof materials were also transported to the soldiers in the northern border to prevent the soldiers there from frostbite.

After drinking Zhuangxing wine, Gu Chen led his soldiers and horses to leave the city gate and head to the north.
