"yes!"

During this breakout battle, Hesitation Zhu Minglie's grain depot in Jicheng suddenly caught fire. Zhu Yetong attacked with all his strength, which actually allowed him to capture the city gate despite his weak strength and take back Jicheng.
We even got some food and grass back!
"Who set the fire?"
It can be said that this timely fire was the key to recapturing Jicheng and greatly increasing morale.
Zhuye Hitomi was puzzled. Could it be that this was Liusu's attention? However, if she wanted to do something, she would have discussed it with him in advance.
But first, I didn't hear anything related.
"Fourth Master, Fourth Master...it's not good, it's not good! Soldiers?!"
The soldiers hurriedly came to report, Zhu Minglie's eyes condensed, and an ominous feeling surged in his heart——
"explain."
"Many soldiers have fallen ill!"
"What?!"
On the second day, something big happened again in Zhuminglie's army. Many soldiers suddenly had stomachaches, diarrhea, and vomiting. The whole army was suddenly in chaos, and the marching officers were extremely busy.
"How is this going?!"
Zhu Minglie walked out of the tent and looked around, his eyes were so cold that it was scary!
"Fourth Master, after lunch today, the soldiers began to fall ill one after another. The symptoms were vomiting and diarrhea, and then they became weak and weak."
The soldier said anxiously,
"How long will it take to get better?" Zhu Minglie asked in a serious voice.
"The military doctor said that he won't get better until tomorrow!"
"Gather everyone in Huotou camp, I will personally interrogate you!"
Zhu Minglie shook his shirt, looked serious, and hurried into the military tent.
Someone dared to cheat under his nose. He was so impatient!
Not far away, a thin soldier lowered his head and helped the sick soldier to the camp, with a triumphant smile on his face.
Hum hum, Zhu Ming Lie, you didn’t expect that, in the words of you Central Plains people, this is called a flood... it washed away the Dragon King Temple.
So, taking advantage of the fact that some of the soldiers in Zhuminglie City lost their combat effectiveness and were unable to mobilize their troops, Zhuye Hitong decisively launched another attack and recaptured another city.
However, he became more and more doubtful. He felt that there was someone hiding in the dark to help him. Who was this person?
What's the intention?
He had already written to Liusu to ask about it, and Liusu said that she had not arranged for anyone to be a spy in the Zhuming Lie Army.
Could it be the arrangement made by the emperor Zhu Yao before his departure? He had already expected such a disaster?
Zhuye Hitomi thought for a long time.

"Keep your head up!"
Zhu Minglie looked at the culprit who was being escorted and kneeling in front of him and said coldly.
Qiqige Nuomin couldn't help but shudder after hearing his words. This man is worthy of being called the cold-faced Yama. He can freeze people into ice with just one word.
"Fourth Master asked you to raise your head, did you hear me?"
The soldier behind him kicked Nuo Min on the back and said viciously.
Nuomin lost his balance and fell to the ground with his upper body.
She shook her head fiercely and glared at the man who was pretending to be a bully.
Zhu Minglie looked at her and said, "My patience is very limited. Tell me, did my thirteenth brother send you to be a spy?"
"Hmph!" Nuo Min struggled to get up from the ground, looked at Zhu Minglie, and snorted coldly, "If you want to kill or scrape, it's up to you! However, I really don't deserve it for the Thirteenth Master!"
Hearing this, Zhu Minglie narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up, and walked to Nuo Min. Nuo Min couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Suddenly, Zhu Minglie whipped out the guard's knife with lightning speed and slashed towards Nuo Min's head. Nuo Min closed her eyes suddenly.
Oops, I'm really going to die this time!
She only felt a heavy blow to her head, and the helmet she was wearing was split in half and fell to the ground. Her iconic round face appeared in front of Zhu Minglie, with her black hair
, and it poured down immediately.
She was stunned and stared blankly at Zhu Minglie.
Zhu Minglie let go of his hand and the knife fell to the ground. He said coldly——
"What a woman!"
"You! What do you want?" Nuo Min swallowed and asked.
"You just said that you feel worthless for Thirteen. What do you mean?" Zhu Minglie asked.
"It's not interesting." Nuo Min said, turning her head.
"Little girl, if you still want to get out of this king alive and meet the Thirteen in your heart, you'd better answer whatever I ask you, otherwise..." Zhu Minglie stopped.
The pause after his statement made people feel frightened.
"Otherwise...what if?" Nuomin asked cautiously.
"Otherwise, I don't mind demoting you to a military prostitute and letting you take good care of the soldiers who were made to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea."
"You! You are despicable!"
"Tell me." Zhu Minglie asked coldly, "Why do you say it's not worth it?"
"Master Thirteen has a deep affection for you. When he was unconscious on the grassland, the only two people he kept talking about were Liusu and you. He kept calling Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother...
If I didn't have deep feelings for you, why would I never forget you? Instead, you took advantage of him and forced him to have no way out! I can't stand it, so I sneaked into your army and burned your food and grass."
After hearing this, Zhu Minglie turned his back so that no one could see the expression on his face——
"You are quite courageous."
"Fourth Prince, I've said it all. Women on the grassland are so straightforward! You can kill or scrape as you please. Now that I've come, burned your food and grass, and put medicine in the food, I never thought about it.
Go back alive."
"Do you like Thirteen?" Zhu Minglie suddenly asked.
"Wha...what?" Nuomin stuttered immediately, and a blush appeared on her cheeks unconsciously.
Zhu Minglie waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to go down, leaving Nuo Min alone.
Suddenly, Nuomin felt that it was so cold in the tent.
"Get up and sit down." Unexpectedly, Zhu Minglie did not let anyone drag Nuo Min down and behead her. Instead, he asked Nuo Min to sit down and allowed her to drink tea.
After Nuo Min was arrested, she had been kept in jail without drinking water. Now she was allowed to drink water. She quickly poured a glass of water into her mouth, but as soon as the glass touched her lips, she put it down again -
—
"You...shouldn't you put poison in the water to kill me?"
"If I want to kill you, do I need to do this?"
After hearing this, Nuo Min nodded, thought for a while, "That's right."
With that said, she drank the whole sip of tea. Just after finishing the tea, at Zhu Minglie's signal, the servant brought some more food.
Nuo Min's mouth watered when she looked at the food, but she couldn't figure it out. What did Zhu Minglie mean? Not only did she not be executed, but she was not punished with a stick, but now she was treated to good tea and good food?
"Fourth Prince, you... do you want to use me as a hostage to force the Thirteenth Master to surrender? Don't think so, the Thirteenth Master will not make any concessions because of me."
Nuo Min kindly reminded Zhu Minglie and said.
"Eat, I will ask you questions after eating." Zhu Minglie did not comment, but raised his hand coldly and said.
Nuo Min thought for a while, but she couldn't escape anyway, so she had better eat first. Only when she was full would she have the strength to find a way to escape.
Thinking this, Nuomin started to devour the food.
Zhu Minglie was sitting at the top, but the image of Liusu eating appeared in his mind. She always ate her food with gusto. Even people with a bad appetite would be in a good mood when they saw her eating.
Thinking about it, a bright smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
"I've finished eating, what do you want to ask?"
Nuo Min put down her chopsticks and asked. When she accidentally saw the smile on Zhu Minglie's face, she was immediately shocked.
This... this cold-faced Yama actually looks so good when he smiles?
Although it is a little bit worse than Zhebie, it is indeed amazing.
Her voice pulled her away from her thoughts of Liusu.
"I ask you, do women... all like men like Emperor Zhu Yao?" He smiled and asked.
"Ah..." Nuo Min was stunned for a moment. She thought he would ask about military affairs or something like that. Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, he asked about matters between men and women.
"Ahem, tell me." Zhu Minglie seemed a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly.
"It's not necessarily true. Like me, I don't like him. I like... I like Zhebie more... Oh, I mean... I mean Mr. Thirteen, your unreasonable and extremely annoying person.
younger brother."
Qiqige Nuomin is not a shy girl to begin with. Since Zhu Minglie can see through her thoughts, there is nothing to hide.
"Then how can you make someone who doesn't like you like you originally?"
"Are you talking about making a woman like a man, or making a man like a woman?"
"Is there any difference?" Zhu Minglie was puzzled.
"Of course there is a difference? Men and women are different. Ah, Fourth Prince, I think you are a very sinister and ruthless person, and you won't even spare your own brothers.
Why do you act like an idiot when it comes to matters between men and women?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nuo Min felt a gaze as cold as a knife coming towards her. She quickly said, "No, no, I mean, I didn't expect the Fourth Prince, you... you..."
"No need to explain. Just answer my question." Zhu Minglie said coldly.
"Oh, you're probably talking about how to make a woman like you, right?"
"You can say that."
Haha, Nuo Min laughed in his heart. This is really strange. The fourth prince, who is so handsome and evil, and is said to be a fatal poison to women, should also be troubled by such a problem. I really don’t know who that woman is.
After thinking about it, she said, "If you want a woman who doesn't like you to like yourself, the first thing you need to do is to be nice to her, be gentle to her, don't scare her, and take great care of her."
"Gentleness?" Zhu Minglie frowned, "What is that?"
"Cough cough cough..." When Nuo Min heard this, she immediately choked on her own saliva.
"explain."
"Let me ask you, is the woman you like now by your side?" Nuo Min said, "There is a way to be by your side when you are around, and there is a way to not be around when you are not around."
"Not here." After saying these two words, his heart felt a faint pain.
"Then you write a letter to her, tenderly expressing your love and longing for her." Nuomin said, "Hey, by the way, what do I gain from helping you?"
"The greatest benefit is that this king will not kill you."
"You...okay...okay."
Nuo Min thought that it was more important to save her life first than to play any tricks in front of this cold-faced Yama. She would definitely not be able to pull it off.
So, she read a sentence, wrote one sentence after another, and finished a sincere and tender letter.
"Now, can you let me go?" Nuo Min asked tentatively.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhu Minglie pressed the letter under the stone jade and said.
When Nuo Min heard this, a smile appeared on her face, it was great, a sweet letter, it was a good deal to buy her freedom.
"Fourth Master!"
The soldiers who were waiting outside the tent came in.
"Take her back to prison."
"What?! You...why are you so ungrateful!"
When Nuo Min heard this, his face changed drastically and he immediately protested.
"I will let you out when needed."
Zhu Minglie waved his hand, and Nuo Min was arrested again.

"Pfft..." All the tea in Liusu's mouth spurted out, spraying on the letter sent by Zhu Minglie.
"Empress, what's wrong?" Xingbai saw her and quickly brought a handkerchief over to wipe the water drops from her face and hands.
"It's okay, it's okay..." She flipped the letter up and down, left and right, and read it several times. Yes, this was indeed Zhu Minglie's handwriting, but this... this was so gentle,
How could the affectionate tone come from his hand?
He has always been so tough that you can't even breathe!
This...does he have another conspiracy?
Liusu can't figure it out after much thought?
"Queen, Divine Doctor Hua is here."
Just as Liusu was thinking hard, Lan'er brought Divine Doctor Hua in. Liusu quickly stood up and said, "Master, you are here."
"Greetings to your Majesty."
Divine Doctor Hua bowed and said.
"Master, there is no need to be polite, please sit down." Liusu motioned to the palace maid to bring the tea.
"It's better to take the Queen's pulse first."
"All right……"
Liusu didn't force himself and handed over his hand.
Recently, she started to feel a little lethargic, her stomach often felt uncomfortable, and she would vomit two or three times a day. She always felt uncomfortable when lying in bed at night and wanted to go to the toilet.
Doctor Hua put his fingers on Liusu's wrist, frowned, and checked his pulse carefully. Suddenly, he stood up with joy on his face, and knelt on the ground with a plop -
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, the empress is very happy!"
"What?" Liusu was stunned, she...she is pregnant again?! This...
"My queen has been pregnant for more than a month."
When the palace maids next to them heard this, they all showed joy and quickly knelt down——
They all said in unison, "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress."
Xiao Qiluo happened to come over at this moment. When she heard the conversation between Liusu and Divine Doctor Hua, she quickly ran in happily and shouted excitedly——
"Great, great, mother, you have a baby again, and I'm going to have a brother."
She is pregnant.
Not long after Yao left, she became pregnant.
Liusu stroked her still swollen belly. Is this God's arrangement?
If Yao knew this news, would he be very happy?
In Liusu's mind, he imagined Emperor Zhuyao's reaction if he knew the good news.
Tears flowed down unconsciously in her eyes.
When everyone around him saw it, they were all stunned and looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
Divine Doctor Hua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is a happy event. The Emperor will be very happy when he knows about it."
"Yes, yes, mother, please stop crying. You have a little brother. When father comes back, I will grow up and my little brother will be two years old. How wonderful."
Qiluo nestled in Liusu's arms, raised her tender little hands, wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly -
"Mom, I will help you take care of your little brother. He will be as smart as me and as handsome as my father."
After hearing this, Liusu smiled, wiped the tears from her face and said -
Chapter completed!
