Chapter 188 Nightmare
Due to a slight delay in leaving, and Wanran's motion sickness on the road, everyone was delayed on the road for a long time, until it was dark, and they barely arrived at the post.

For the convenience of traveling, Li Shishi and the others lied that they were merchants staying at the inn.

The shopkeeper is a shrewd person, and he dared not be negligent when he saw that the clothes of the few people were not ordinary.

A first-class guest room was prepared for Li Shishi and the others.

Li Shishi took the children to live in Room [-] of Tianzi, while Liu Quan stayed in Room [-].

Wanran has been feeling unwell since she got out of the car, and went to bed early without eating a few bites.

Li Shishi didn't have much appetite either. The car ride was too long this time, and she couldn't handle it after crying for a long time.

So he took the two children to bed early.

Liu Quan and Gongsun Qing discussed the upcoming itinerary in the next room, and by the way, told Gongsun Qing what the emperor specially explained before leaving.

After Gongsun Qing handed over his military power and resigned, the situation in North Korea and China began to be turbulent.

The elder brother of Concubine Yun's mother's family is the left minister of the court, with a high position and authority.

In addition, Concubine Yun successfully gave birth to a dragon son last year, and the emperor did not establish a heir, so they racked their brains to make Concubine Yun's child the crown prince.

The emperor naturally knew about this, but even as an emperor, even the Ninth Five-Year Honor could not sit back and relax.

And with Gongsun Qing's departure, Prime Minister Zuo no longer threatened, and became more unscrupulous, ambitious, win over the ministers of the court and central government, and jointly played a petition to let the emperor establish a crown prince earlier.

Moreover, coupled with frequent border wars, the emperor no longer has any trusted people around him.

In desperation, the emperor ordered Liu Quan to go and persuade Gongsun to return to the court.

In fact, Gongsun Qing already had a premonition. When he was in the court, Prime Minister Zuo didn't dare to act rashly because he was afraid that Gongsun Qing would have a large army in his hands.

Now that he is gone, he has no force to contend with, so he is naturally ambitious.

Liyun Concubine's prince is the crown prince, but he just hopes that one day he can coerce the emperor to make the princes.

"My lord, going to the capital will inevitably be dangerous. You still have to be fully prepared."

"This king knows." Gongsun Qing's face sank like water, and then he said: "Although I have resigned from office long ago, I am still aware of the movements in the court. Now that the forces of the left are springing up like mushrooms after rain, it must have been planned. Now How is the border?"

"The small country of Nanshu has been harassing for several days, but they don't confront each other directly. It seems to be procrastinating. And according to our informant, the Prime Minister of Nanshu has secretly visited Dongyue and Qing'an. These two small countries have been refusing to surrender. , I am afraid that because of this visit and lobbying, the three small countries will join forces to annex us."

A trace of sternness flashed in Gongsun Qing's eyes, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Is it just relying on them? Is it possible that the King of Nanshu may have forgotten how he knelt down and begged for mercy when he was captured by this king."

Liu Quan shook his head lightly, and said with a smile, "Ambition is inflated. Sooner or later, Nanshu will be destroyed by the king of Nanshu."

Gongsun Qing got up and said: "It's getting late, go to bed earlier."

"Congratulations to the lord."

After walking two steps, Gongsun Qing turned around and asked, "This trip is going to the capital, does anyone else know?"

Liu Quan said: "No, the emperor arranged for me to go to the border to support, and the road was smooth and calm, I'm afraid the left minister and the others didn't know about it."

Gongsun Qing's eyes darkened, and then he smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I will send guards to follow along the way. You must also be careful, and never underestimate the enemy."

After all, he opened the door and left.

Liu Quan stared blankly at Gongsun Qing's back, thinking that the prince was too cautious.

Go back to the room.

Gongsun Qing thought that Li Shishi had already fallen asleep, but just as he closed the door, Li Shishi's voice came from behind him.

"Busy working?"

Gongsun Qing was slightly taken aback, then looked back at her: "Why are you still awake?"

"You didn't come back, I can't sleep." Li Shishi smiled at him, then got out of bed wearing her shoes.

When he arrived at Gongsun Qing's side, he changed his clothes.

"It's almost three o'clock, the prince is tired."

"It's okay." Gongsun Qing took Li Shishi's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and said, "Are the children okay?"

"The child is fine. It's just that I don't know what's wrong recently. I feel very flustered. Maybe I haven't traveled far, so I'm not used to it."

Gongsun Qing took him into his arms and looked at Li Shishi's pale complexion. He asked, "What's wrong? Why is your face so pale? What's wrong?"

Li Shishi frowned slightly, and then said: "I don't know, it's just that I haven't had any appetite to eat recently. I always feel dizzy and want to sleep, and I always feel heavy."

Gongsun Qing frowned, he also sensed that something was wrong with Li Shishi, and then directly picked her up, and put her down on the soft couch on the other side of the room: "Sleep here tonight, children always sleep Not honest, I just watch them."

"En." Li Shishi nodded, and let Gongsun Qing cover her with the quilt.

Sitting beside her, Gongsun Qing held her hand and gently pinned her broken hair behind her ear with the other hand.

Put a kiss on her lips, and then said: "Sleep, I will watch over you."

"Okay." Li Shishi replied and closed her eyes.

However, although Gongsun Qing stayed by her side, she always felt like something was falling in her heart, and she was flustered, but she couldn't tell why.

In a daze, she had a dream. In the dream, she watched Gongsun Qing fall into the cliff with several arrows.

With a swish, she opened her eyes.

He was already drenched in sweat.

Turning around, she looked at Gongsun Qing who was sitting beside her, and reached out to touch him.

"What's wrong?" Gongsun Qing opened his eyes and asked Li Shishi who was in panic.

"I had a nightmare." Li Shishi said, frowning: "I dreamed that you were shot by many arrows and fell off the cliff."

Gongsun Qing raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and said softly: "I'm fine, why don't things in my dreams be taken seriously."

Li Shishi held his hand and gently tugged: "Lie down beside me, or I'll be very flustered."

Moved inside to make room for Gongsun Qing.

Gongsun scratched the tip of her nose pamperingly and said, "Okay, listen to you. You won't be afraid if my husband holds you in his arms."

"Ah."

Gongsun Qing lay down next to Li Shishi in his clothes and hugged her in his arms, only then did he realize that Li Shishi's body was wet, as if he was sweating all over.

"When you came back from the capital before, I also had a dream. In the dream, I dreamed that something happened to you. Later, when Taoist Duliu rushed to you, he happened to catch up with you and was hunted down." Li Shishi worried Said, "I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. Don't forget, your husband is the King of Suiyuan." Gongsun Qing hugged her, patted her on the back and comforted her: "I will take good care of myself, and I will protect you as well." Good morning, I promised Aunt Wu."
