The soup was probably just cooked and emitted heat. I soon smelled a strong medicinal smell, including astragalus and angelica. For someone who had just rained outside for a while and was suffering from some cold inside, this bowl of hot soup came at the right time.
I picked it up and blew it gently, and the rich fragrance of medicine penetrated into my nose.
In addition to those medicines that appear to be able to dispel cold air on the surface, there seem to be some other medicines mixed in, but because the amount is not too much, the taste is also very light. If you don't identify it carefully, you can hardly notice it.
And I only identified it for a moment and immediately understood.
Brassica, eggplant flower...
All are things that can be contraceptive.
I was alert, but said nothing. I just looked up at the people who came to the kitchen to deliver the meal. They didn't seem to have any special statements. They were doing what they should do according to the rules. Some had put the dishes and had already left them. Another pulled out the chopsticks and sent them to me. Then he bowed respectfully and turned around and left the room.
It seems that they don’t know what happened to this bowl of soup, nor do they notice the abnormality of this bowl of soup.
Very good……
I lowered my head and looked at the bowl of hot soup and smiled faintly.
Actually, I have been worried about this these days, but Pei Yuanxiu has seen me too tightly. Even eating and sleeping are under the surveillance of others. I can't find anything to contraceptive, nor can I resist him. I even understand that if I really get pregnant during this period, he will never be stingy to force me with the lives of more people.
But unexpectedly, someone came to give me a pillow when I was about to go to bed.
Of course, I think this matter must have been something she worried about day and night in the past month. After all, she is the representative of the Jinling power. She has such a strong desire to be a queen. If I gave birth to a child before her, it would be a very unfavorable thing for her.
I should thank her.
While no one noticed it, I gently blew the soup and drank it sipped.

In the next few days, because Wen Fengxi had clearly rejected their request, Jinling did not cease to fight again, and the offensive became more and more fierce. Many times I could hear earth-shaking sounds outside in the middle of the night, and often the battle lasted all night.
My emotions became more and more depressed.
On this day, Pei Yuanxiu was having dinner with me. My appetite was not very good. I couldn't swallow it after only taking a few bites. He glanced at me and advised softly: "Your face is even more ugly these two days. You should eat more, otherwise your body will not be able to hold on."
As he said that, he picked up a little more dish and put it in my bowl.
I just felt that my chest was so stuffy that I had been fighting these two days. Even if I had a good appetite, I couldn't eat it at this time. But as soon as he spoke, I had no room for refusal. I could only grit my teeth and pick up the dishes and put them in my mouth.
He looked at me and smiled.
At this time, a hurried footsteps sounded outside. A soldier ran to the door and stood there anxiously, "Young Master."
Pei Yuanxiu said without looking back, "What's the matter?"
"We found that some households in Yangzhou City are migrating outside the city in the past two days."
"oh?"
He frowned slightly.
I put the vegetables into my mouth and slowly started chewing them.
Pei Yuanxiu put down the dishes and said, "Have you told Mr. Xie about this?"
"I've said that Mr. Xie is on the deck."
"Um."
He turned to look at me and said softly: "You eat a little more, drink some soup after you finish it. I'll come back to accompany you later."
I didn't say anything and continued to chew things, but I couldn't taste the food in my mouth.
People from Yangzhou City are migrating?
Not to mention that it is too late to move out at this time. How many can I move out in three days? Even if I really move out, where can I go? The road to Nandujiang is already blocked, and Jiangling is already under the control of Pei Yuanxiu when he goes west. If he wants to go north, how many places have already raised anti-banks, even if he moves over, it will be useless.
Did Wen Fengxi not understand what I mean? Or did he have other plans?
The appearance of Gu Jing Wubo who had just been forced to make was a little stalemate at this time. I put down my chopsticks and looked at the table of dishes with all colors, fragrance and flavor, but I felt so stuffy that my chest was so stuffy that I simply got up and walked out. As soon as I reached the door, Hua Zhu immediately came up: "Where is Miss Yan going?"
“I want to go out and get some breath.”
“…”
She glanced at me and immediately said, "Yes."
Since that day, I have been able to breathe on the deck with her for a while every day, but I rarely go out during the day because I tend to encounter Han Ruoshi - I am not afraid of her, but a bowl of contraceptive medicine is delivered every day, almost like a "tacity" and secret between me and her. I am willing to do it, just worried that if she meets her, if she reveals her words, it will be difficult to deal with.
But today, I couldn't help it.
Hua Zhu accompanied me slowly out, and as she was about to reach the cabin door, she could already feel the chill caused by the wind outside, and then she heard Pei Yuanxiu's cold voice: "Send someone to stop all those people. I said, what should Yangzhou be like, that's what."
Xie Feng's voice immediately responded: "Yes."
I walked out a few steps and saw them standing on the bow of the boat. Pei Yuanxiu was looking at Jiangbei with his hands on his back.
My steps stopped at the hatch door.
In fact, even if I don’t look at the situation on the river, I know what it is. After these days of fierce attacks, the protection of the North Bank is in ruins. The people in the city will start to move out, which proves that they are at the end of their journey. I have experienced the war in Dongzhou City personally.
However, those who were by my side and living with me at that time stood at the bow of the boat and controlled the life and death of others.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I looked at his back quietly, but Xie Feng seemed to feel something and turned around.
"Miss Yan?"
Pei Yuanxiu also turned his head immediately and saw me, he immediately walked over: "Why did you come out too?"
Seeing him walking up to me, I whispered: "Those people... don't you even let go of those who left Yangzhou?"
His steps were paused.
Xie Feng, who was standing beside him, frowned when he heard my words, but he didn't say anything. I continued, "Those people just want to survive. Is it really good if you can kill them like this?"
He looked at me for a while and whispered, "Can we not talk about these things, okay?"
I sighed: "I know, I have no position to talk to you about these things, and you don't need to listen to me. I just want to tell you that being trapped in a place and knowing that I am about to die, the urgent feeling of survival is not something that ordinary people can understand."
“…”
"How can you bear to kill such a person?"
“…”
He looked at me silently for a long time, and finally slowly turned around and said to Xie Feng: "Let them not have to go."
Xie Feng was stunned and immediately said: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the other side.
I was still a little stunned. When I persuaded him just now, I didn't expect that he would really listen to me. This was an accident. Pei Yuanxiu had already reached out to hold my shoulder and said, "Okay, you'd better go back and rest. The wind on the river is strong today."
Before I could move my steps, a faint laugh came from the side: "Yes, it's windy outside, Miss Yan should go back to the house quickly and don't catch a cold."
Hearing this voice, I hurriedly turned around and saw Han Ruoshi standing aside in a thick fur coat.
Of course, it was no surprise to see her.
I even saw a little cold light flashing in her eyes without surprise, but it flashed away in such a cold river breeze, without giving anyone time to carefully identify it.
But I understand too much.
Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at her, and was about to say something, Han Ruoshi had already said: "Husband, all the orders have been conveyed."
When Pei Yuanxiu heard this, his expression became solemn.
But he looked back at me again and urged, "Go back quickly."
I looked at them without saying a word, but when I looked at both sides of the bow of the ship, I could already see countless ships sailing slowly through the mist on the shimmering river, as if they were gathering towards the big ship.
Han Ruoshi stood there, watching me walk into the cabin motionlessly.
Walking in the dark corridor, my eyes were bright. The scene just now and Han Ruoshi's words told me that tonight was the last night in Yangzhou!
Sure enough, in the evening, I heard a shocking sound of golden drums outside.
The warships in Jinling are launching their final attack on Jiangbei.
I didn't go out to see it, and of course they wouldn't let me go out, but I could hear all the sounds outside, roaring, slashing, and wailing, and resounding all night, as if the storm we had experienced on the sea had happened again.
In the second half of the night, the sound outside gradually subsided, but our boat began to move forward rapidly. Even the teacup I placed on the table fell to the ground and broke due to a violent shaking.
I was startled and hurriedly possessed myself and picked it up. Just as my hand was about to touch the fragments, the door was pushed open.
Hua Zhu walked in and looked at me worriedly: "Miss Yan, what's wrong with you?"
She probably heard the sound of the cup breaking, afraid that something would happen to me, so she came in to see me. I squatted on the ground, looked up at her, and said, "What happened outside?"
Hua Zhu glanced at me and said honestly: "The navy in Yangzhou has retreated from all sides. Our people have already landed and are ready to attack the city."
When I heard her words, I felt my heart tremble, and my fingers suddenly rubbed a sharp fragment, and immediately, blood beads emerged from my fingertips.
Hua Zhu was frightened and hurriedly said, "Miss Yan, are you injured?"
“…”
I couldn't speak, and I just looked at my fingers stupidly. The drop of blood was trembling slightly under the reflection of the candlelight.
