Chapter 204: Sweet and Smelly
"..."
Pei Heng's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a moment to what this meant. It was not until he saw the affirmation and encouragement in Su Li's eyes that he burst into laughter and hugged Su Li:
"really?"
"Ok!"
Su Li nodded.
She was delighted. She had waited two lifetimes for this child. Finally, the child arrived amidst everyone's anticipation.
This is why I fainted at the gate of the mansion this morning.
And yesterday in the Dali Temple Prison, the chief guard of King Kang chopped off the arms of the two jailers in front of her. She also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit at the time. Thinking about it afterwards, it turned out to be true.
"Old Fei checked my pulse and it's less than two months. General, I'm going to be a mother."
Su Li cried with joy.
Pei Heng was so happy that he picked her up from the bed and walked around the room several times.
"I'm going to be a father! I'm going to be a father!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Ari, we have a baby!"
Su Li felt dizzy from being spun around, but when she heard Pei Heng's ecstatic voice, she couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy.
Qin, who was standing at the door, listened to the noise and laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. Nanny Li stamped her feet worriedly, pushed open the door, and angrily said to the overjoyed Pei Heng:
"General! Be careful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nanny Li was carried out by Songzhi and Songtao on her left and right. Songzhi even closed the door considerately, "Go on, General, Madam, please continue."
Qin walked away arm in arm with Li Ma.
"Oh, don't worry. The general knows what's important."
Nanny Li patted her chest with her fist and said:
"No, I have to ask Lao Fei to prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine. This is my wife's first child! The general was like that before..."
The voice gradually faded away, and Pei Heng hugged his wife and rubbed her.
"Smelly!"
Su Li covered her nose and pointed at him.
Pei Heng then realized that he had not yet taken off his armor, and his body and face were covered in blood. It was really smelly!
"immediately!"
He gently put Su Li down and jumped out of the room.
"Someone! Remove the armor!"
Liancheng had already come over to help him remove the complicated armor, while he was doing it, he gestured:
"Aba Aba!"
Pei Heng slammed his chest several times, laughing so hard that his teeth were exposed.
"Yes! Happy! Happy!"
Liancheng's face was also full of smiles.
"Abba!"
Pei Heng patted his shoulder and said:
"You're right! It's such a happy occasion, we should have a drink. But I won't go, I want to accompany A-Li. You guys go! Drink as much wine as you want in the mansion! Hahahaha!"
Pei Heng smiled, took off his cotton robe, went to the bathroom with his bare chest, and took a full half hour to bathe before coming out.
A'li thought he was smelly and couldn't smell the slightest bit of blood, so he washed everything from every hair to every toe, and only came out smelling fragrant after using up both pieces of soap.
"Ari! I'm coming!"
After changing his clothes, Pei Heng finally looked clean and fair. He opened his arms and hugged Su Li tightly with a big smile.
But when Su Li smelled the strong aroma of soap on him, she covered her mouth and vomited with a cry of "Ugh!"
"This this!"
Pei Heng has absolutely no idea what to do with this!
"what happened?"
He patted Su Li's back repeatedly, but he was careful not to use too much force, fearing that he might hurt her by not using enough force.
Su Li vomited for a long time, until she vomited out bile. She fell on the bed with tears in her eyes, and said with despair:
"Smells! It smells so good!"
Pei Heng slapped his forehead and immediately said:
"I understand! It can't smell bad, and it can't smell good either, right? Just wait! Right now!"
He ripped off his clothes, balled them up, and leaped back into the tub. He didn't dare use any soap anymore, instead meticulously washing himself from hair to toe with clean water, scrubbing his skin. He didn't even get a whiff of odor, and then, nervously, emerged.
"Ari? Is this... okay?"
He approached cautiously, and Su Li sniffed it.
It’s okay this time!
Seeing his wife finally nod, Pei Heng finally let go of his heart with a thud, and dared to go forward and hug her, saying aggrievedly:
"That's good, that's good!"
Seeing his cautious look, Su Li couldn't help but laugh. She hugged him and kissed him, saying:
"Husband, I miss you!"
As she spoke, she snuggled into Pei Heng's arms. The longing for him after not seeing him for so many days and all the grievances and fears she had suffered in the past two days came flooding back to her. Thousands of words were reduced to three words.
Pei Heng's heart trembled.
After secretly meeting the emperor in the palace that day with the blueprints for the repeating crossbow, he left the city overnight. It had been over ten days since they last met. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and regretful that he shouldn't have left Su Li to go to the military camp.
"Ari, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone and let you face all this. I promised to protect you for the rest of your life, but I didn't do it."
Su Li shook his head and said:
"Silkworms cling to tall trees for growth, and tall trees protect them from wind and rain. My husband is a tall tree, shielding me and our children from the wind and rain. But you, too, get tired sometimes, and need help when the wind and rain are too strong. I don't want to be just a silkworm, relying on tall trees for survival. I want to be a tree, too. Even if I'm not as tall as you, I want to do my best to withstand the wind and rain with you and bask in the sunshine together." (Quoted from "The Ballad of the Desert")
Pei Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
His A-li is Qiao Mu.
A Li saved him and saved the whole family.
If there was no Ah Li, how could all this happen? !
He is still struggling in pain, or he may have already taken his own life. And the children don't know what fate they will face.
Now, the general's mansion is thriving.
He is about to have his own child!
He hugged Su Li tighter:
"Okay, let's weather the storm together and bask in the sunshine together."
The couple hugged each other and took the opportunity to tell each other what had happened.
"Since the emperor has agreed to investigate the case of that year, I am confident that the truth will be revealed to the world." Pei Heng said in a deep voice.
In the past, the investigation was done covertly, but now it was openly, and the resources available were naturally different. Furthermore, he was no longer the only one investigating, and his own camp was now more powerful than ever.
Not only are there Prince Su and the eldest princess, but there are also Prince Heng, Duke Yong, Duke Xie and a series of other helpers.
"Ok!"
Su Li absolutely believes in her man's strength.
After discussing this matter, she mentioned Huan Ge'er again:
"Although the Emperor has recognized Huan Ge'er, I believe he will not publicly acknowledge Huan Ge'er's identity until the eldest prince's case is overturned. During this period, I'm afraid Huan Ge'er will have to bear considerable pressure from public opinion."
The couple is worried about Huan Ge'er here.
But at night, Huan Ge'er came to the door on his own.
"Father, I want to talk to you about something."
Huan Ge'er's serious look made the couple look at each other silently.
"Let's go to the study!"
Pei Heng decided to have a man-to-man conversation with his son.
