Bai Xiangxiu was truly exhausted this time. She didn't know that she had stopped breathing for a moment, only that she had a wish that she desperately wanted to fulfill.
"Child, I want to take a look. Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a son."
Long Heng waved his hand, and the wet nurse carried the child over.
Bai Xiangxiu only took one look, then realized something very important.
This little face was really too fair, too much like her. It was as if it had been peeled off from her face.
This face was already very attractive on her. If it was transferred to a man, she would silently mourn for the girls in the capital.
"It's too much like me." She said, then slowly fell asleep.
"Xiu 'er, Xiu' er."
Long Heng was frightened. Thinking that she was in danger again, he hurriedly asked the doctor to take her pulse.
After a careful examination, the doctor said, "Madame Xiu just fell asleep because of exhaustion. She's fine."
"Then quickly prescribe her some medicine to nourish her body."
"Prince, please leave first. This place needs to be tidied up."
"This … Alright!" He had no choice but to leave. It seemed that they couldn't go all out to tidy up here.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't fully wake up until the third day. Her food was carefully prepared, and Long Heng always came to accompany her when he was free.
Although he didn't talk much, she knew that he had something to do.
"Are you … going to the battlefield?"
Even if she didn't go out, she knew that the enemy country was very active. It seemed that they had already sent out their troops.
This could be seen from the old madame's expression. She looked at the Huo Er. It seemed that the day was getting closer.
She couldn't even attend the full moon ceremony. Was she going to leave?
What was she going to do?
The old madame and Long Heng didn't say anything. They were afraid that she would worry. She couldn't let them down. At the very least, she shouldn't cry and make them worry.
Her strength was seen by others. Long Heng patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"En." You're the male lead, what would happen to you? She was just worried about what would happen to the father and son after she left.
"I've already chased those two people out of the residence. From now on, you don't have to worry about anything. You just have to stay at home with Lin 'er. I'll be back in a year at most, or a few months at least."
"You …"
Dear God of War, this is fighting a country, not a team. How can it be over so quickly? It will take at least two to three years.
"If Madam really misses it, I can put in more effort."
"No need, it's already fast enough."
Long Heng's feelings for his wife and children were inextricably linked. He was a little reluctant to part with his wife and children.
So this was what it felt like to be short of breath. No wonder those subordinates with wives and children would sometimes take out something and giggle on the battlefield. They must be reminiscing about the sweet times they had with each other.
In the following days, Long Heng was extremely busy. However, he couldn't resist the pain in his heart.
Bai Xiangxiu had always wanted to say goodbye to him, but there wasn't much time. When the two met, they seemed to have endless things to talk about. They even forgot to mention that she was leaving.
Ten days before her one-month birthday, Long Heng set off.
Firecrackers were set off outside. She could only hug her son and cry in her room. She couldn't even send him off.
This kind of feeling was truly unbearable. It was as if someone was digging out her heart and liver.
Finally, she made it to her son's one-month birthday. On that day, guests came to greet her. Although she was the child's mother, she was still a concubine, so she didn't go out to greet the guests.
She looked at the Huo Er alone in the room. She reached out to touch it, but didn't dare.
There were only a few days left. Should she leave or not?
Suddenly, Xiao Shi ran in like a madwoman, her face full of joy.
"Madam Xiu, we have great news.
His Majesty has already decreed that our young master will be the Little Heir.
I heard that the Prince begged His Majesty before he left. It's clear how much he loves the Little Heir. "
If a concubine's son became the Heir, wouldn't that mean he would become a Prince in the future?
Didn't this mean that he wanted to raise Lin 'er as his eldest son in the future?
She should be relieved, but she felt even more reluctant to leave. What should she do?
"Madam Xiu, are you unhappy?"
"I'm happy!" She was so happy that she didn't know how to be happy.
Xiao Shi was puzzled. Why did she have a straight face when she was happy?
However, she didn't know about her master's matters. She only felt that the Little Heir was blessed. Although he was a concubine's son, she thought that even the mistress of the house couldn't look down on him.
Seeing that the 14th of July was almost here, Bai Xiangxiu became more and more absent-minded.
The old madame and the servants only thought that she missed the Prince. After all, there had been no news from home since he left for battle.
There was no helping it. After all, ancient times were different from modern times. One could contact anyone through WeChat.
Bai Xiangxiu didn't blame him, but she was very conflicted about whether she should stay or leave.
However, no matter how conflicted she was, she still had to live. In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Festival had arrived.
She hugged the Huo Er and bid farewell to her son first.
Then, she dressed up beautifully and walked to Winter Garden. This was where she came from, and now she had to return from here.
How could she be in a good mood when she thought about how she wouldn't be able to see Long Heng and Xiao Lin when she returned to modern times? However, if she didn't go back, she couldn't bear to part with her family in modern times.
She placed the Huo Er on the table, then crawled on the table and looked at it. "If we can really see the future, can you let me see what will happen if I go back?"
The Huo Er said, "Master, I can try."
It had now grown into a very large cactus. Its four leaves were tender green and looked very cute.
When Bai Xiangxiu heard this, she closed her eyes and slept quietly. She hoped that the Huo Er and she really had the ability to see the future.
Unexpectedly, she really did have a dream. She dreamed that her corpse was found by Xiao Shi, and then the entire residence was thrown into chaos.
Xiao Lin cried the most miserably. It was unknown whether it was because he knew that his mother was gone or because he was infected by everyone's uneasiness. In any case, he didn't stop crying.
The old madame had found countless doctors to take a look at her, but it seemed that they couldn't cure her.
It seemed that the saying 'mother and son are connected by heart' was true.
It wasn't a big deal that the residence was in chaos. Long Heng didn't know about it because the old madame kept it a secret.
However, he was very worried because he hadn't received any letters from her for a long time. He asked the old madame to write a letter to him, but she didn't receive one.
Long Heng sent someone back to the capital to inquire about her whereabouts and learned of her death.
This seemed to be a huge blow to him. Because of this, he was careless and was stabbed in the chest during a fight with an enemy.
As he fell, he was still muttering her name. He closed his eyes as if he had nothing left to live for. He didn't struggle at all and was willing to die under someone else's sword.
"No, why did it have to be like this? No …"
Bai Xiangxiu couldn't bear to watch any longer. She felt that everything was so real. If she died, it wouldn't be as easy as she had imagined.
The father and son would probably be hurt just like in her dream!
