Chapter 1237

Duan Yu's appearance was like a beam of light shining into her heart.

It rescued her, rescued them, from the cage where they could not see the light of day and lived in despair.

It gave them care, protection, and... a gentle gaze they had never felt before.

He was rational, powerful, and valued relationships...

One might ask, how could a woman not like such a man?

Duan Liuqing reached out her hand and gently brushed Hongchan's hair.

"Have you forgotten what the Master told us?"

Duan Liuqing said as if recalling: "The Master said that as an assassin, an intelligence officer, emotions will affect our judgment and also affect the speed of our strikes."

"In this life, we must fight for the Master."

"Liking him can be buried in the heart; it is enough that only I know."

"As long as I can watch quietly and be by the Master's side forever, that is enough."

Hongchan looked at Duan Liuqing, seemingly understanding, and nodded slightly.

Knock, knock, knock!

Knock!

Knock, knock, knock...

The sound of knocking came from outside the courtyard gate.

Three long and two short.

Duan Liuqing, whose mind was full of memories, was startled by the knocking sound.

"Hiss~"

The needle tip inadvertently pricked her finger, and a smear of crimson dripped onto the cloak she was embroidering on her lap.

Duan Liuqing immediately frowned and hurriedly put her finger into her mouth.

And Hongchan, who was squatting in front of Duan Liuqing, also stood up and went to open the courtyard gate.

A middle-aged man stood outside the gate and handed a secret letter to Hongchan.

"A great change in the palace."

The middle-aged man only said four words, and Hongchan's expression changed immediately, and she let the middle-aged man in.

Subsequently, she walked quickly to Duan Liuqing and handed the secret letter in her hand to Duan Liuqing.

After unfolding the letter and taking a look, Duan Liuqing's expression also changed greatly, and she immediately stood up, placing the unfinished cloak on the edge of the well.

"Immediately summon everyone from the three departments to gather in the direction of the Middle Dongmen. Also, immediately have the second department transfer their intelligence to the direction of Liangzhou."

"Use the fastest speed; not a moment can be delayed along the way."

"Prepare a carriage immediately, head to the Grand General's mansion, quick!"

Duan Liuqing issued a series of orders.

He Jin's Grand General's mansion was located within Buguangli.

And the closest direction to leave the city from Buguangli was the Middle Dongmen of Luoyang city.

At this moment, inside the Grand General's mansion.

He Lingsi, who was more than nine months pregnant, was lying on her side on the bay window near the window of her bedroom, resting.

Perhaps because He Lingsi originally had an excellent figure, although she was nine months pregnant, it did not show much.

And in the room, besides He Lingsi, there was He Lingman, who had come to visit He Lingsi.

Since moving to the Grand General's mansion last time, He Lingsi had not stepped out of the mansion gate even once.

In her spare time, when bored, He Lingman often came to visit.

"Sister really has good luck..."

He Lingman looked at He Lingsi's belly with a smile and said, "It is also because my sister's belly is promising; not only can it carry the dragon's heir, but it can also bear a king's seed. If that wretch manages to conquer the Western Regions this time, he will be enfeoffed as a king."

"Sister's days ahead will truly be blessed."

He Lingman said while gently stroking her own lower abdomen: "It is hateful... clearly it was me first, yet Sister snatched the lead."

When He Lingman said this, her eyes were resentful, and her tone was also very resentful.

The two were sisters, but their fates were different.

The older sister married the Emperor, while the younger sister only married the son of a eunuch, a fake eunuch.

Although both met Duan Yu at almost the same time.

But the older sister was pregnant with Duan Yu's child.

While the younger sister was not.

He Lingsi smiled charmingly and said: "For younger sister, it is only a matter of time, and besides..."

He Lingsi gently stroked her rounded lower abdomen.

Although the child in this womb was Duan Yu's, she feared that throughout its life, it would be difficult for the world to know.

"Empress... it's not good, a great disaster has happened..."

Before He Lingsi could finish her words, a maid's exclamation came from outside. ===== CHAPTER 1239 =====
