Li Jiancheng briefly told Li Yuan what happened:

"Father, you also know that the Ice Arrow is a rare poison, and to cure the poison of the Cold Ice, the Lord of Yong'an needs to dedicate himself to the person who detoxified her. So, now the county lord of Yong'an doesn't know whose seed it is in his belly, if you give this marriage easily, and the child is born in the future, if it is not like General Yuan, the Zhenguo General's Mansion will not be laughed to death by the world? Father, I'm afraid you'll be implicated in this matter as well. ”

"Please also ask the prince not to be untrustworthy, my wife is pregnant, naturally my Yuan Lie's heir. There is no need for the prince to worry about it. ”

Seeing that Yuan Lie was full of anger, he stood up with "Huo" and stepped forward to argue with Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan frowned:

"Yuan Lie, this matter is not a trivial matter, you let me investigate it first. If the Lord of Yong'an is innocent, I will give you a marriage immediately. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is going to the battlefield, and I don't know when I will return. The minister can't let his wife marry me after giving birth. Your Majesty, please hurry up and get married. ”

Yuan Lie knelt down heavily again and prayed to Li Yuan.

"Yuan Lie, what are you anxious about? No one else can take it away from you. Besides, you should know best if the baby in your belly is yours, and I've never heard of a child who survived the Ice Arrow. I am doing you a favor by speaking out now to prevent my father from giving you an order. When the child in the county lord's womb is born, you will only thank me that it is too late. ”

Li Jiancheng said in a strange manner.

"Li Jiancheng, you don't muddy the waters here. Do you dare to tell the emperor, how did you know these things? If you hadn't been ventilating with Muza, how would you have known so clearly? ”

Yuan Lie's eyes were flushed.

"Yuan Lie, who allowed you to be so indifferent to the prince? On your knees. ”

Li Yuan was also angry when he saw Yuan Lie so angry:

"There are so many women in the world, since we can't figure out whether she is unfaithful to you or not, you should change to a woman. The descendants of the heavy generals of the Tang State cannot be innocent. ”

Before Yuan Lie had time to plead, the prince on the side interjected pretending to be aggrieved:

"Yuan Lie, I advise you not to put the hat of collaborator on my head at will. This incident was only heard by my guards from the streets of Chang'an. The medical hall on Chang'an Street, the imperial doctors in the palace, everyone said that there has never been a child in the womb who can live a cold life. You, you're still complacent about being a cheap father. I really sympathize with you. ”

"What did you say?"

Yuan Lie gritted his teeth and glared at him angrily.

"Isn't that clear enough? The county lord of Yong'an is pregnant before marriage, and what she is pregnant with in her belly is not the kind of general of Zhenguo, this matter is already a hot topic of discussion after dinner. Hahaha. Yuan Lie, you say you're not funny? Now I'm still here to ask my father for an order, maybe the lord of Yong'an is being forced by your family to drink medicine and have an abortion. ”

Yuan Lie stood up with a "Teng":

"Your Majesty, the minister must go back first, and come back later to talk to the King of Qin about Turkic affairs. Rong Chen retired. ”

After speaking, regardless of Li Yuan's opinions, he hurriedly disappeared into the archery range.

"County Lord, when did you come back?"

Xinyu entered Meng Yu's room from the outside and saw Meng Yu sitting inside.

Xinyu's face did not show any joy, but was covered with dark clouds.

"I just arrived. Xinyu, why is your face so bad? ”

Meng Yu looked at Xinyu's expression and felt very strange.

"County Lord, is the general back with you?"

Xinyu asked worriedly.

"He's back, too. But as soon as he got home, he went to the princess's mansion to see Princess Pingyang, what's wrong? ”

"County Lord, why don't you go to the Princess's Mansion to hide?"

Xinyu's eyes were full of worry.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"I just went to do the laundry, and I heard the maids secretly talking, they said that Mrs. Yuan had a big temper this morning, and then asked her personal maid to go outside to invite a doctor over, and she also told the maid to let the doctor bring more abortion pills. County Lord, you are the only one in our Yuan Mansion who is pregnant, and I am afraid that Old Lady Yuan is targeting you. ”

Meng Yu was shocked, could it be that Muzha had already put the news in Chang'an?

Was he going to put her to death?

"Xinyu, have you been on the street in the past two days? Is there any rumor about me on the street? ”

Meng Yu looked at Xinyu, tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart, and asked her.

"County Lord, I am in the mansion every day and have not gone out. Do you think someone is deliberately spreading bad words and slandering you? ”

Meng Yu nodded slowly while thinking:

"I don't know, but if Mrs. Yuan suddenly gets angry and asks a doctor who can have an abortion to enter the house, I guess it could only be one situation, Muzha spread rumors about the child in my belly."

"County Lord, what rumors?"

"He must have spread rumors that the child in my womb is not Yuan Lie's."

"What? Why is that Muzha so vicious? County Lord, then you have to move to the princess's mansion quickly. Let's pack our things and go. Keep the child first, and then find a way to clarify the rumors with the general. ”

Meng Yu shook his head:

"I can't go, if I leave in a hurry, I'll fall into the hands of that little man. Outsiders will only think that I am a thief. Fleeing to the princess's mansion in a hurry is to take refuge. I'm not going anywhere. I'll wait here for Yuan Lie to come back. ”

Xinyu thought about it, and this is indeed the truth:

"Then the county lord, you sit here first, and I'll go to the kitchen and get you some food."

With that, Xinyu closed the door and went out.

But not long after, she hurried back again, her face pale:

"Oh no, county lord, I see that the doctor is already on his way to us. You listen to Xinyu's advice, let's go to the princess's mansion to avoid it first, they will definitely not dare to go to the princess's mansion to make a mistake. Then I will inform the general and ask the general to go to the princess's mansion to pick you up in style, so that the people on the street will not spread the rumors, and the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

"Self-defeating? Since Muzha chose to pour dirty water on me, how could he stop so easily? ”

Meng Yu thought about his almost crazy look when he saw Muzha that day, and sighed.

While the two were talking, someone broke open the door of Meng Yu's room.

Old Lady Yuan angrily rushed forward with an old man carrying a medicine box:

"Meng Yu, our Yuan family's reputation can't be ruined like this, don't blame me."

As soon as the words fell, she made a color in all directions, and several maidservants immediately rushed forward and grabbed Meng Yu.

"Old Madam Yuan, please let Rong Xiao take the pulse of the county lord first. If the pregnancy is too old, forced abortion may kill people. ”

The old man's hands and voice trembled a little.

Meng Yu didn't say anything, just looked at Old Lady Yuan and the old man in front of him coldly.

The old man pinched Meng Yu's pulse, carefully felt the message that the pulse transmitted to him, and then hurried back to Old Lady Yuan's side:

"Old Madam Yuan, the pulse of the pregnant person is slow and urgent, and the size of the fetus looks very large. Old Mrs. Yuan, in the old man's opinion, it is better not to forcibly abort this fetus. ”

Old Madam Yuan snorted coldly:

"If she dies, it's her life. Pu Ling, bring the medicine, I'm going to watch her drink it up. ”

Old Lady Yuan's personal maid immediately stepped forward with a bowl of black medicine, and there was still a trace of heat lingering in the medicine bowl.

Seeing this, Xinyu on the side knelt on the ground with a "plop" and anxiously persuaded Mrs. Yuan:

"Old lady, the child in the county lord's belly is really the general's. You can't kill your great-grandchildren. The general has gone to the princess's mansion, and he will be back soon. You can't hurt the county lord now, or the general will hate you later. ”

When Mrs. Yuan heard Xinyu's words, her face did not improve, but became even more angry:

"What are you? How dare you threaten me with the name of a general? Come on, quickly drag this unknown maid out and give me twenty sticks. ”

As soon as Mrs. Yuan's words fell, several maidservants rushed out next to her, and they grabbed Xinyu and dragged her out of the house.

Xinyu kicked her legs to protest while shouting vigorously:

"Old lady, don't be blinded by traitors. The county lord is really innocent. The slave and maid have been serving the county lord, if the county lord has a little bit of trouble with outsiders, how can the slave and the maid not know? Ask the old lady to stop quickly, the county lord is really pregnant with your great-grandson. ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Yuan shouted outside, asking the people outside to suspend the punishment of Xinyu.

After finishing the order, she turned to look at Meng Yu, and her eyes became more and more full of disdain:

"I didn't expect you to be so unfaithful to Lie'er, but you have a particularly loyal maid. Today, as long as you obediently drink the medicine, I will not torture this servant girl. That's enough to give you face, right? ”

Meng Yu listened to Mrs. Yuan's words, looked at the bowl of black medicine in Pu Ling's hand, and sneered coldly:

"Grandma, you don't ask me anything, you come up and want to put your great-grandson to death, and then you want me to thank you for giving me face? Grandma, I think you're old fool, right? ”

"Presumptuous! You're still so arrogant. Sure enough, it's brazen. I might as well make your cheeky woman a little more clear. As for how to cure the poison of cold ice, I have naturally asked the doctor in the medical hall, and I can also tell you that I have asked more than one. You are so shameless, such a big thing has been concealed from the entire Yuan family for so long, and now you still want to continue to rely on our Yuan family for this evil seed. I can tell you plainly that it is impossible for our Yuan family's reputation to be ruined by you, an unfaithful and unfaithful woman. Pu Ling, pour medicine! ”

When Pu Ling heard Old Lady Yuan's order, she had a cold face and ran towards Meng Yu with the medicine.

Meng Yu coldly looked around the people around him and memorized their faces one by one.

She quickly crouched down, and with a swift spin and sweep, knocked all the maids who were dragging her in front of her to the ground.

Then, she took out the Seven Spirit Whip from her ankle, with full internal force, and threw it into Pu Ling's hand holding the abortion pill, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground together with the two delicate hands holding the medicine.

There is a crisp sound of a broken bowl and a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Ahh

There was a terrible cry of pain from Pu Ling and the sound of a group of maids gasping.

Everyone looked at Meng Yu in anger in horror, Meng Yu looked around, and pulled the Seven Spirit Whip tightly in front of him:

"Is anyone else going up up and feeding me my medicine?"

"Old lady, help me, I can't do without hands."

Pu Ling knelt down and moved in front of Old Lady Yuan, two stick-like arms that were bleeding outwards in front of her.

"It's so rampant, give it to all of you!"

When Mrs. Yuan saw that her beloved maid was injured, she was so angry that her hand on crutches trembled.

No one dared to go up this time, all the maids had no skills, and they saw that Meng Yu was not a person to mess with, so they all hid back.

Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she couldn't stand on her legs, and sat on the bench behind her.

Meng Yu slowly tied the Seven Spirit Whip back to his ankle, and picked up the package that he hadn't had time to untie:
