Chapter 414: The Heavenly Festival
Lan Jing'an was suspicious, not only did he not have any memory of the past, but he didn't even know where he was in the year and month. She tried desperately to remember, but as soon as she tried to remember, her head hurt so badly that she couldn't even think. She could only choose to accept everyone's arguments for the time being.
The room she was in was understated and luxurious, and she was dressed in silk and satin. The maidservants around her were all respectful to her, and always called her Madame very familiarly. The two servant girls Su Mei Suju who served her closely took care of her meticulously, and a imperial doctor surnamed Wang also came to diagnose her pulse almost every day. The surrounding environment seemed to be very much in line with what he heard, which made Lan Jing Anyou have to believe the result of what he heard.
She suffered a wound to the back of her left shoulder, reportedly stabbed by someone who wanted to kill her. Coupled with falling into the water, her body has been very weak. Her husband is considerate to her, and although he is busy with official duties, he will come back to accompany her no matter how late it is.
It's just that out of fear out of nowhere, she never let the man go to her bed, and she refused to call him a husband, just called his name lightly: Junzhu. He didn't force her, he just slept on the low couch next to her bed, and treated her as good as ever.
Time flies like a white horse, Lan Jing'an has gone through half a year of cultivation, and his body is finally fine, and the wound on his shoulder has healed, leaving only a scar the size of a baby's fist. But the blood stasis in the back of her head has always been difficult to remove, and the headache is still there. Doctor Wang warned her many times not to be cranky, otherwise her headaches would only get worse and even threaten her life. She had no choice but to follow the doctor's instructions and stop trying to remember the past.
Although she has no memory of personnel, it seems that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting she has had since elementary school are still there. She was even more surprised to find that she could not only play chess, but also play very well. Since then, one of her great hobbies has been playing with Yuwen Moyuan.
Winter has gone to spring, and the relationship between her and Yuwen Moyuan has eased a lot, and she has gradually lost her rejection and defense against him. Although she still refused to let him go to her bed, she slowly accepted that she was his wife. She listened to him and never left the Mulan Garden again. She waited for him to come back every night, lived in the same room with him, and the two of them lived the life of Qin Se and Ming.
Yuwen Moyuan waited patiently for Lan Jing'an to accept him, and he slowly won her trust step by step. She no longer doubted herself and her identity, and began to allow herself to become more and more intimate. When he called her Lan'er tenderly, she also began to gently reply to him Junzhu. They chanted poems and painted together, and played games in the garden. Everything was as he had ever dreamed. No matter how annoying the court made him, as long as he saw her waiting for him in the house, he felt that he had a harbor to rest and a warm home.
Yuwen Moyuan still remembers how shy she was when she kissed her for the first time. The two of them played against each other in the room late at night that day, and they bet on this kiss. Her level of chess is not weak, but in fact, his chess skills are even higher than hers. It's just that every time he plays chess, he can't be distracted, and always puts his mind on her instead of between the grids. This time, in order to get the beauty, he put his mind together and defeated her.
Her character has always been true to her word, but she has no regrets, just shyly bowed her head and twisted her fingers, without saying a word. He leaned over slowly and hugged her gently, her slightly stiff body slowly softened under his warm embrace. He picked her up and put her on his low couch, and stepped forward himself. She turned pink from her ears to her neck, her eyes closed tightly, her head half tilted. Dan's lips, which were bitten by her, were as delicate as cherries, and she sent him the most seductive invitation. The shadow he cast slowly obscured the last bit of white light she could feel, leaving her in the dark, and she could only feel him whispering softly in her ear: "Lan'er, I am pleased with you." β
His lips climbed to the softness that made him longing for him, and gently pried her teeth open. With Lan Jing'an's coquettish hum, Yuwen Moyuan's slightly cold tongue slid into her mouth domineeringly, wrapping around her sweet tongue, greedily conquering the city. Her sweet but not greasy fragrance wafted across the tip of Yuwen Moyuan's nose, making him can't help but hug her tightly, deeply accentuating the kiss.
Her soft body seemed to be rubbed into his warm chest by him. Although Yuwen Moyuan has read countless beauties, he is not a hairy guy, but this time he felt a different kind of excitement. He knew that his heart had fallen the first time he saw her, and now his people had fallen as well.
He reluctantly let go of her lips and began to kiss her neck, his fiery breath spraying on her delicate skin, causing her to tremble. His hands uncontrollably tried to untie her clothes. She stretched out her hands to resist, resolutely refused, her face full of horror, panting to get up from under him.
Yuwen Moyuan saw her panicked appearance and knew that he was too eager. So he put his clothes away, sat farther away from her, and turned back into the humble and polite nobleman. Yuwen Moyuan didn't want to force her, he wanted to let her slowly melt into his tenderness. He believed that Lan Jing'an would one day take the initiative to accept his affection and give him her body and heart!
Although Lan Jing'an and Yuwen Moyuan were close enough, from the bottom of his heart, he still had an inexplicable sense of resistance to him. She didn't know why, she was still reluctant to let him touch her body. According to him, since he is his wife, there should have been a skin-to-skin relationship between the two. But his hugs, his kisses, would make her feel a little uncomfortable. And when he wanted to go further, she was terrified. Is it because the time I married him is still short, so I haven't adapted yet? Or did you change your temperament because of falling into the water?
She wanted to convince herself that she was thinking too much, but her body always acted before her reason, and involuntarily made her want to escape. Fortunately, Yuwen Moyuan has always respected and cherished her, and never forced her to do things she didn't want. Lan Jing'an was grateful for his gentle waiting, trying to open his heart and slowly accept him.

Chapter 47: The White Jade Pendant
Ten months have passed since she woke up, and although Lan Jing'an has accepted her current life, she always feels a trace of inexplicable sadness. And what puzzled her the most was the pendant hidden on her chest. She had never changed her underwear in front of Yuwen Moyuan, and she didn't allow Su Mei Suju to come close every time she took a bath, so no one in this magnolia garden could see the white jade pendant in the shape of a fox hidden on her chest.
Yuwen Moyuan gave Lan Jing'an countless jewelry, and told her in detail about the extraordinary origin of each piece of jewelry, but he never mentioned this pendant with a special shape. And she also tried Su Mei Suju, they all said that she had a miserable life in her aunt's house before, and her aunt's whole family was extremely harsh on her, so when she married into Magnolia Garden, she was alone and had nothing. Since it wasn't sent by Junzhu, and it couldn't have been brought from her aunt's house, where did she get this special pendant?
She often rubs this white jade pendant with high quality and special shape when she is alone. She always felt that this pendant had a special close connection with herself, as if solving the mystery of the pendant's origin could unlock her sealed memory. But Yuwen Moyuan never allowed her to leave the Mulan Garden, and she was unwilling to tell the people around her about it. She could only endure the headache and try to remember, while she flipped through the book every day, looking for any special meaning to the pendant in the shape of a fox. So far, though, she hasn't gained anything.
On the afternoon of this day, she was in a daze on the love bell tower specially built for her by Yuwen Moyuan. Yuwen Moyuan quietly went upstairs, grabbed her shoulders from behind, and coaxed her to say, "Lan'er, why are you blowing the wind by the window again?" Not afraid of another headache? Is it okay to go back to the yard with me? β
Lan Jing'an was awakened and looked back at Yuwen Moyuan. His face was not good, and he was afraid that he had encountered something tricky in his official business. She felt a little sorry for him, nodded obediently, got up and followed him back to the yard.
Although Yuwen Moyuan never said much to her in business, he also let her know some things. In the family, his brother was very jealous of his status and always gave him trouble. Until recently, when his father was seriously ill, he finally basically mastered the family, although he couldn't do what he wanted, but at least he was no longer controlled by others everywhere. Outside, he has several difficult opponents, one of whom is his sworn enemy, who wants his life all the time. At present, the struggle between the two sides is fierce, and they are in a state of life and death.
Although Lan Jing'an never asked him about his official affairs, whenever he was unhappy, she was extremely well-behaved by his side and silently helped him resolve all kinds of bad emotions.
Lan Jing'an accompanied Yuwen Moyuan back to the courtyard and sat down for a while, when Zhou Qi said outside the door that he had something important to report to Yuwen Moyuan. Yuwen Moyuan couldn't help it, so he went out again with a black face. He left and didn't come back after dark.
In the study in the front yard of the Prince's Mansion, Yuwen Moyuan received another battle report, and this time the battle report was about the Xiapi war. It's just that the battle report said that Xiao Qingyun had led people to break through Xiapi City, and the Xiapi guards took advantage of the chaos to escape. When the sergeants in the city saw that the guards had fled, most of them surrendered. Yuwen Mo was angry, he only saw the distress letter from the captain of Xiapi a few hours ago, why did he even break the city now?!
The scout who delivered the letter knelt in the study of the prince's mansion and didn't dare to come out, and replied honestly, because the scout who sent the letter was besieged by Xiao Qingyun's men and horses, and it was delayed for three days before he finally sent it out of Xuzhou. And this letter, Xiao Qingyun did not send anyone to stop them, so they hurried back to report. In addition, Xiao Qingyun also ordered someone to shout at them, saying that he wanted to let the Yuwen clan stay alone, and avenge the Marquis of Dingyuan, the Qianguo, and the people of the world!
After the scout finished his report tremblingly, he secretly glanced up at the prince and found that his face was pale. Yuwen Moyuan waved his hand to let the scouts go down, and hurriedly summoned the important ministers and strategists to discuss Xuzhou's response.
Located in the middle of Xuzhou, Xiapi's location is not unimportant. Especially after Xiao Qingyun captured Guangling, the most important city in Xuzhou, Xiapi became an important gateway to defend Xuzhou, once Xiapi was broken, Qingzhou and Yanzhou could be attacked through Langya County to the north, and Yuzhou could be entered through Pengcheng to the west. It can be said that after losing Guangling and Xiapi, Xuzhou was basically taken by Xiao Qingyun.
Yuwen Moyuan and the important ministers discussed until late at night, physically and mentally exhausted. He was depressed in his heart, obviously he had Lan Jing'an, why did Dayong's land fall into Xiao Qingyun's hands step by step? It seems that Lan Shuyao's hexagram is completely untrustworthy. The major defeat on the battlefield upset him, and his heart was full of hatred for Xiao Qingyun. But because he was afraid that Lan Jing'an would worry, he was unwilling to go back to Mulan Garden now. Yuwen Moyuan picked up a clean place, asked Zhou Qi to bring him wine, and drank it alone, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows.
When Zhou Qi helped the drunk Yuwen Moyuan back to Mulan Garden, Lan Jing'an was still waiting for him. She was sitting on the bed alone, taking the white jade fox off and taking it in the palm of her hand to look through it.
Yuwen Moyuan didn't let anyone inform, and directly staggered into the room. Lan Jing'an was startled when he saw him come in, and hurriedly wanted to hide the white jade fox, but unfortunately it was too late. Although Yuwen Moyuan's eyes were drunk and hazy, he could still see Lan Jing'an's movements at a glance. He rushed forward, and before Lan Jing'an could hang the white jade pendant back around his neck, he snatched the pendant from her hand.
When he saw this unfamiliar pendant, his face changed suddenly, and he asked Lan Jing'an loudly: "Who gave this to you?" β
After the initial panic, Lan Jing'an calmed down and asked him, "Don't you know?" Didn't you say that all my jewelry was purchased by you? β
Yuwen Moyuan thought about it for a moment and was sure that he had never given her this pendant. And since Lan Jing'an entered the Magnolia Garden, he has not been in contact with outsiders. Then this must be the old thing she wore when she fell into the water. Judging by her first reaction when she saw him, it means that she probably guessed it too, probably trying to avoid him to find out something. Yuwen Moyuan was a little panicked and a little angry in his heart. He asked Lan Jing'an with a cold face: "Let me ask again, where did you get this pendant?" β
Lan Jing'an was also angry, she waited for him for most of the night, and when he came back drunk, she didn't say anything, and she questioned herself as soon as she entered the door, she still felt wronged. She felt that this pendant must be extraordinary, which is why Yuwen Moyuan cared so much. Is this pendant really related to her memory? In other words, her previous experience was not exactly what Yuwen Moyuan told her?
She also had a cold face and replied angrily: "I don't know! I knew I had a special feeling for this pendant. Junzhu, you say, do you have something to hide from me? What was my previous background? β
Yuwen Moyuan was suddenly stunned for a moment when he heard her say about her special feelings. He remembered that a long time ago, when he ordered someone to go to Baiyuguan to investigate her, he accidentally learned that she had a nickname called Ahri, which was Xiao Qingyun's special name for her, and no one would call her like this except him, not even the Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife. Ali? Looking at the white jade fox in his hand, he suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that this pendant was actually given to her by Xiao Qingyun! After she had nothing left, she still wore the things he gave her closely!
------------
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Overlord Takes the Bow
Yuwen Moyuan had guessed Xiao Qingyun's secret thoughts since he had seen Xiao Qingyun in Bide Tower last time. And when the Yanbo Pavilion confronted each other, he saw the maintenance between the two of them more clearly. The two of them are definitely more than brother and sister!
Yuwen Moyuan was furious, and he roared in his heart. Why? He has done so much for her, he takes care of her and pampers her so carefully, but she takes Xiao Qingyun's things day and night, and tells him that she only has special feelings for the things Xiao Qingyun sends?!
He didn't want to say a word in his anger. But Lan Jing'an misunderstood his silence, got up from the bed, and angrily stretched out his hand to ask him for the white jade pendant. He said, "Give me back the pendant!" You say, what are you hiding from me? β
Yuwen Moyuan easily threw the white jade fox aside, made up his mind, changed his gentle tone, and tried to persuade Lan Jing'an: "Don't think nonsense, what can I hide from you." I'm sorry, Lan'er. It's all because I'm drunk, and I can't even remember what I delivered. Now it looks like this pendant is so ugly, throw it away. I'll send you a better one tomorrow, okay? β
Lan Jing'an refused to believe him now, and directly pounced on the pendant that had fallen on the wolfskin cushion, carefully picked it up, and tried to hang the jade fox around his neck again. Her actions made Yuwen Moyuan's slightly calm mood angry again, he grabbed her hand, prevented her from putting the pendant back, and reached out with his other hand to snatch the pendant in her hand.
Lan Jing'an felt that Yuwen Moyuan's actions were becoming more and more suspicious. He had always been gentle to her before, and he had never been so rude as he was today. It seems that there must be some secret to this pendant that makes him so out of control. She also firmly grasped the white jade pendant and refused to let go, and confronted Yuwen Moyuan angrily.
Yuwen Moyuan was really moved. His anger towards Xiao Qingyun during the day had not yet dissipated, and now Lan Jing'an raised eyebrows at him for the first time for the things that Xiao Qingyun had sent, and confronted him. The dignity of being a man made him never allow a trace of anything related to Xiao Qingyun to appear on Lan Jing'an's body!
Lan Jing'an felt that Yuwen Moyuan was unreasonable, and he was also angry, and his cheeks were red. But her strength is not as great as Yuwen Moyuan, and she is about to be snatched away by Yuwen Moyuan. She didn't know where she got the courage, and she actually bit Yuwen Moyuan's wrist and made him let go.
Yuwen Moyuan looked at Lan Jing'an in disbelief: "You bite me?" You're biting me for this broken stone?! He's so heavy in your heart, or isn't it?! β
Lan Jing'an didn't know what happened to him just now, why he was out of control all of a sudden. I feel very sorry for Junzhu and want to apologize to him. But seeing the way he is now, I can't open my mouth when I listen to his accusations. Maybe they both need to calm down now, she thought. She took a few steps back, trying to bypass him and walk out the door.
Seeing that Lan Jing'an was about to escape from the door, Yuwen Moyuan felt that anger mixed with wine instantly rushed to the top of his head. He dragged Lan Jing'an back, tightly imprisoned her in his arms, and forcibly broke her palm, holding the white jade fox far away.
Looking at Lan Jing'an's eyes that were particularly shining because of anger, Yuwen Moyuan suddenly felt that he was out of control, he scooped up Lan Jing'an, carried it on his shoulder, and went directly to the bed.
Lan Jing'an screamed in fright, scolding Yuwen Moyuan for being crazy today, desperately struggling to get him to let go of himself. But Yuwen Moyuan turned a deaf ear, and reached the side of the bed in a few steps, put her down on the bed, and leaned over to kiss her. His wine-scented lips crushed her red lips and muffled her voice. She punched and kicked him, and when he was unprepared, she bit him on the lip and directly broke his lower lip.
Yuwen Moyuan's beastly nature was finally completely aroused by Lan Jing'an. He kicked his shoes, rolled over to the bed, and pressed heavily on Lan Jing'an. He wrapped his legs around her, pressed her on the bed with one hand, and wiped the broken spot with the other hand. Looking at the little scarlet on the back of his hand, Yuwen Moyuan was completely crazy, he showed a cruel smile to Lan Jing'an, and then desperately kissed her face and neck, and then tossed back to her lips.
Lan Jing'an began to feel unusually frightened, he had never treated her like this. Jun Zhu now seems to be swearing to rule over himself, and there is no previous pity at all, only crazy possession. She clasped her teeth and refused to let go.
Yuwen Moyuan freed up a hand, pinched her chin directly, forced her to open her teeth, and stirred her tongue into it in a rampage. The smell of his wine mixed with the bloody smell that flowed from his lips made Lan Jing'an almost nauseous. She writhed wildly, trying to get out of his grasp, but now he was like a raging lion, not giving her the slightest chance to escape.
Lan Jing'an was kissed by Yuwen Moyuan and couldn't speak, her body was firmly buckled, and she could only let out a whining sound begging for mercy. Yuwen Moyuan's big hand began to roam over her. She guessed what was going to happen next, and tears of anxiety came out, and her whole body began to tremble.
Yuwen Moyuan's head left her lips. Seeing her shed warm tears, he hesitated for a moment and stopped moving. Lan Jing'an pleaded with him mournfully: "Junzhu, don't be like this. Let me go. β
Hearing her beg to leave, his blood rushed back again. He viciously climbed onto her face again, pouring words into Lan Jing'an's ears like a magic voice: "You are mine, and I don't want to leave for the rest of my life!" β
Lan Jing'an let out a desperate scream, and her voice was hoarse from crying. But Yuwen Moyuan was no longer moved, and let her struggle to die in his hands like a fish that had landed on the shore.
Outside the window, a thunderclap pierced the sky, and the raindrops fell densely, and soon the rain was pouring down. No one knows what really happened in Magnolia Garden on such a rainy night. In the end, Lan Jing'an fainted in pain in the painful struggle. But Yuwen Moyuan was satisfied with her and slept peacefully in his arms after some gluttony.
The morning after a rainstorm is always exceptionally fresh. Even though Yuwen Moyuan had experienced a night of tossing, he was still the first to wake up. His head still ached from a hangover, but he quickly realized what he had done last night. He sighed, he was still a little too anxious. He doesn't regret it, though.
Lan Jing'an was still asleep, and there was not an inch on his body. Her whole body was covered with the bruises he had left yesterday, and he felt extremely distressed when he saw it. He gently covered her with a quilt, kissed her on the smooth forehead, put on a dress, and called Su Mei and the others to prepare water.
Su Mei and the others actually heard Lan Jing'an's cry last night, and they wanted to go over, but they were scolded by Zhou Qi and rushed back to the room. This morning, Su Mei Suju got up early, prepared a fragrant soup bath, boiled enough hot water, and waited for the summons at any time.
Yuwen Moyuan ordered Su Mei and the others to put the water in the compartment, and then let them quit, and he wanted to take Lan Jing'an to bathe in person. Lan Jing'an, who was still in a semi-comatose state, looked thin and weak in his arms, and a little guilt rose in his heart.
Just as he was about to leave the bedside with her in his arms, he looked at the chaotic bed and was suddenly stunned.
------------
Chapter Forty-Nine: Suspicion Grows
The bed was messy, but the bedding was still white. Yuwen Moyuan was a little incredulous, he gently put Lan Jing'an in the bathtub, turned around and went to the bed to check carefully. There really is nothing! Although Yuwen Moyuan felt good yesterday, this white bed will not lie, it turns out that Lan Jing'an is no longer a virgin!
Yuwen Mo wanted to scold angrily, but his face was so heavy that he could drip water. He suddenly remembered the unbearable words of Yuwen Mochi in the Yanbo Pavilion at the beginning, saying that she and Xiao Qingyun had long been in a mess. Yuwen Moyuan couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe that Lan Jing'an really had a skin-to-skin relationship with Xiao Qingyun. He wasn't even her first man! His long wait turned into a complete joke.
He angrily wanted to shake Lan Jing'an up and ask her what was going on. But looking at her now, he still can't bear it. Yuwen Moyuan put on his clothes in anger and turned around and walked out of the room.
Su Mei Suju didn't know why the prince lost his temper in a blink of an eye, but she still did as he instructed, went in to serve Lan Jing'an to bathe and change clothes, changed a new futon for her, and served her to continue to go back to bed to rest.
Yuwen Moyuan left the Mulan Garden in a fit of rage, and all this was completely unknown to the sleeping Lan Jing'an. By the time she woke up, it was already three days old. She moved her body and found that she was in pain everywhere, as if she had been crushed by a crush. She remembered what had happened last night, hugged the quilt tremblingly, and cried bitterly.
Su Mei Suju heard the movement and hurried into the house to serve her. Seeing her grief-stricken appearance, the two of them were also a little distressed, and they both felt that the master probably tossed too much yesterday.
Lan Jing'an didn't want to see anyone from Yuwen Moyuan now, so she forcefully drove Su Mei Suju out, and shrank in the corner of the bed alone in a daze. Her gaze suddenly fell on the white jade fox in the corner. It turned out that Yuwen Moyuan threw the pendant aside in anger yesterday, and then threw himself on Lan Jing'an, and this morning he left in a hurry, and he didn't have time to throw this pendant away.
Lan Jing'an endured the pain, climbed out of bed, and picked up the jade fox. Last night, for this pendant, Junzhu, who has always been gentle, went crazy, and forcibly occupied her despite her bitter pleading. If you say that this jade fox has no secrets, you won't believe it if you kill her.
She didn't dare to put the pendant on her body again, for fear that Yuwen Moyuan would find out and make another incident. Her eyes circled the room, and finally decided to hide the pendant in the Love Bell Tower for the time being. It basically belongs to her private territory, Yuwen Moyuan doesn't go there often, and he is not as familiar with the placement of things as the bedroom.
And no matter how uncomfortable Yuwen Moyuan is in his heart, he still has to go to the court when it is time to go to court. Emperor Wei is seriously ill now, and he doesn't know how many months he can last, but Wang Taiyi, who has been promoted to the head of the Tai Hospital, privately told Yuwen Moyuan that Emperor Wei will definitely not live for half a year. In these turbulent days, as the crown prince, he must take on his responsibilities and deal with the government every day. He didn't want to be like Emperor Wei who fished for three days and dried his nets for two days, leaving an infamy in the history of the future.
Today's discussion in the court is still about the defense of Xuzhou, but Yuwen Moyuan is frequently distracted. He really can't think about the government today, and all he thinks about is Lan Jing'an. He couldn't help but reminisce about the soft cry she had tossed and turned under him last night, and he couldn't forget the humiliation of the white bed.
Gradually, the ministers also noticed that something was wrong with the prince, but the courtiers did not think in this direction. Some people speculate whether Emperor Wei is seriously ill, so the prince is anxious; Some people also speculate that the crown prince has been worried about the war in the south recently, so his spirit is a little weak. In any case, the ministers were accustomed to observing words and feelings, so today's early dynasty soon dispersed.
Yuwen Moyuan was contradictory for a long time, but he still couldn't let go of Lan Jing'an in his heart, and wanted to edict Imperial Doctor Wang to show her pulse. He was afraid that he was too rough yesterday and really hurt her. However, the imperial physician went to see Emperor Wei, and Emperor Wei was leaving him to wait by his side, and it was estimated that he would be released at night. Yuwen Moyuan couldn't, so he had to let someone pass a message to the imperial doctor, and once Emperor Wei had nothing to do, he would go to the prince's mansion to find him quickly.
Yuwen Moyuan returned to the Prince's Mansion and locked himself in the study, trying to calm down. But he tried reading, practicing calligraphy, and playing the piano, but he couldn't stop his manic heart, let alone review the cantata. He walked back and forth in the study, thinking about Lan Jing'an and Xiao Qingyun in his heart.
In addition to hatred for Xiao Qingyun now, he also has deep jealousy. The person he had worked so hard to get was actually touched by Xiao Qingyun first, and he felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly. However, he thought again, what if Xiao Qingyun cherished Lan Jing'an, she was not pressed under her and let him do whatever she wanted. Lan Jing'an has amnesia now, and if she has to question her, I'm afraid she won't be able to remember. Wouldn't it be worse if she could think about it?
Yuwen Moyuan was in an ambivalent psychology, tossing for most of the day, it was dark, and he didn't figure out why. But he didn't want to see Lan Jing'an again now. Finally, after looking forward to it for more than ten months, the ladies of the prince's mansion saw the prince again at night.
Yuwen Moyuan first went to the crown princess Zhao Wanyao for a turn, and before she could tell her tender and sweet, he left under the pretext of excuse. For most of the past six months, although Yuwen Moyuan refused to stay with her, he would still come over and take a walk during the day from time to time.
As a descendant of the army against Xiao Qingyun, Zhao Wanyao's father, Zhao Guocheng, led the troops in the south. Yuwen Moyuan didn't dare to really ignore Zhao Wanyao at this time. He always kept a close distance from her, and although he was no longer close to her, he never spoke ill of her.
And the other concubines didn't have such good luck. Ever since Lan Jing'an arrived at Mulan Garden, he hadn't visited them once. The concubines in the prince's mansion are not stupid, and guess if someone lives in the private garden behind the prince's mansion, so the prince lives there every day, and even builds a new building in the garden. They also tried to investigate, but the Mulan Garden was heavily defended, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave unless they had a token specially given by the prince, and their repeated attempts were in vain.
In fact, Zhao Wanyao had doubted it before, but the prince still whispered to her, in addition to refusing to stay overnight, other requests could be regarded as complimentary. She also asked the prince why he moved to the private garden behind, and Yuwen Moyuan said that he was busy with political affairs, and went to live in the private garden to facilitate the private reception of important ministers and guests. And the reason why he made people block his private garden was also because he hid the secrets of his dignitaries, so he was extra cautious.
Zhao Wanyao knew that it had been an eventful time recently, and thought that although the prince was not close to her body, he didn't even go to the other concubines, but she was extremely happy in her heart, and she didn't haunt Yuwen Moyuan. It's just that he is not close to women because of political affairs, and he is a little worried, so he stews soup and sends it to his study every once in a while. Who would have thought that these tonic soups were finally given to the door by Yuwen Moyuan.
------------
Chapter 50: You're Not Her
After Yuwen Moyuan came out of Zhao Wanyao, he turned around and went to Rong Ji again. Rong Ji is the most beautiful woman in his backyard, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is alluring to the country and the city, she is charming and bonely, as long as a man looks at her, half of her body can be crispy. This woman was still a gift to the Prime Minister when he took refuge in Yuwen Moyuan. Compared with her, Lan Jing'an is more than pure, not charming enough, and she is definitely not Rong Ji's opponent in terms of appearance alone.
Yuwen Moyuan is not keen on beauty, and he used to be dispensable with this Rong Ji, and he didn't care about it. And today he stepped into her yard with a sense of revenge. He is a dignified prince of a country, above 10,000 people under one person, there are so many women in the backyard, and all of them have flowers and moon appearances, he doesn't believe that he can't do it except Lan Jing'an!
Rong Ji was very happy when she saw the prince. The prince hasn't come to the backyard for more than ten months, even the princess is going to go in circles during the day, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to come to his place. Rong Ji shook her waist and went out to greet Yu Wen Moyuan, thinking that no matter what method she used tonight, she would leave the prince in her bed.
Yuwen Moyuan didn't have a smile on his face, and the majestic momentum of the prince made him look not gentle. But Rong Ji hadn't seen the prince's handsome face for a long time, and she still felt that she couldn't be infatuated.
Yuwen Moyuan didn't say a few words to her, so he took her to the bed. Before he could use all kinds of means, the prince took the initiative so much, which made Rong Ji very happy. Sweet and greasy in Yuwen Moyuan's ears burst out like an orchid: "Your Highness~ Rong'er misses you so much~ Your Highness, come quickly~"
Yuwen Moyuan rudely threw her on the bed and sat on the edge of the bed himself. Soon Rong Ji was half-undressed, and her weak and boneless little hand wrapped around Yuwen Moyuan's waist, flexibly trying to untie his belt. Yuwen Moyuan stared at Rong Ji's face tightly, Rong Ji threw a wink again, and the movements under his hands were faster.
Yuwen Moyuan suddenly pressed Rong Ji's hand to undress and stood up suddenly. Rong Ji looked at him in surprise, but Yuwen Moyuan stopped looking at her, and left without looking back, leaving only four words: "You are not her." β
Rong Ji hated it so much, she didn't know which fox it was, she actually let His Highness be distracted at a critical moment, and snatched him from his bed. She hurriedly ordered her maidservant to follow His Highness from afar, she wanted to see which shameless woman dared to occupy His Highness's heart.
The maidservant came back after a while to report, saying that the prince left Rong Ji's courtyard and did not go to other concubines, and went directly back to the private garden behind. Rong Ji was stunned when she heard this. How? Her opponent was not the woman in the backyard of the prince's mansion? It seems that there must be a fox spirit living in the private garden behind, so the soul of His Royal Highness is gone. She made up her mind that she must find a way to mix in the private garden behind her and see what that fox girl looked like.
Yuwen Moyuan went to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion for a while, and his heart became even more empty. He found that no matter whether Lan Jing'an betrayed him or not, he still couldn't let her go. In his eyes, apart from her, he can no longer fit another woman, he only wants her. Yuwen Moyuan decided to follow his heart and go back to Mulan Garden to find her now.
As soon as he entered the Mulan Garden, Zhou Qi came to report that Imperial Physician Wang was here and was waiting for Yuwen Moyuan's summons. Yuwen Moyuan nodded and asked Zhou Qi to take Imperial Doctor Wang back to the courtyard with him. When Yuwen Moyuan returned to the courtyard, she found that Lan Jing'an was not there, she went to the Love Bell Tower again, and Su Mei and Su Ju followed her.
At this time, Yuwen Moyuan already clearly knew what he wanted, and he was not so uncertain. Instead, he sat down in the main hall of the courtyard and asked about the situation of the imperial physician. Imperial Physician Wang shook his head: "The emperor's condition is not very good, it is estimated that it will only be two or three months." Please also ask Your Highness to prepare early. β
The feelings of the heavenly family are not as good as those of the people, and Yuwen Moyuan's admiration for Emperor Wei has long been exhausted in the court struggles again and again. What he has to think about now is how to smoothly take over the entire Dayong. He nodded to the imperial physician, and asked him as if nothing had happened, "Do you have any medicine to remove bruises and relieve soreness?" I want the best. Wait a while, and then you can go and check the peace pulse of Madame. β
On the way, Imperial Physician Wang had probably heard from Zhou Qi that Yuwen Moyuan had a dispute with Lan Jing'an last night, but the two later reconciled as before, and Yuwen Moyuan also pampered Lan Jing'an. He was relieved, and obediently handed a small medicine bottle to Yuwen Moyuan: "This is the minister's exclusive secret medicine, applied to the bruises, but it will be cured in a few hours, and it also has the effect of moisturizing and nourishing the skin." β
Yuwen Moyuan took the medicine bottle, opened it and smelled it, and a cool fragrance refreshed people's hearts. He closed the lid and put the medicine directly into his sleeve.
Yuwen Moyuan saw that there were only him and his most trusted Imperial Physician in the room, so he hesitated for a moment, and said as if chatting: "I heard a rare thing today. The prime minister has a beautiful concubine, but the beautiful concubine does not have a yuan hong. The prime minister was furious and wanted to tie her up and sink into the pond. The beautiful concubine cried and said that she was wronged, and insisted that she was innocent. Do you think there will really be a woman who doesn't have a Yuan Hong? β
Imperial Physician Wang wondered how Yuwen Moyuan had the leisure to take care of the private affairs in the prime minister's backyard, and suddenly thought of Lan Jing'an with a comprehension. Could it be that His Highness only favored her for the first time last night? And Lan Jing'an doesn't have a yuan red? Imperial Physician Wang's curiosity scratched at his heart like a cat's claw. He thought again, no, I heard that His Royal Highness lives here in Lan Jing'an every day, what man can endure it for more than ten months without touching a woman who sleeps in the same room? And if Lan Jing'an didn't have Yuan Hong, why would His Highness be so calm? is still thinking about Lan Jing'an everywhere, and he is seeking medicine and diagnosing his pulse, so he should have left a long time ago. Could it be that I am too careful?
No matter how much he turned around in his heart, Imperial Physician Wang still didn't show it on his face, and he showed the style of an old pedant, and said carefully for Yuwen Moyuan: "It is not uncommon for women to have no yuan red. In fact, among the people, there will be more women without yuanhong. Mainly because folk women often work, sometimes excessive physical labor will cause Yuan Hong to fall early. Among the noble ladies, probably only women who often ride horses will cause Yuan Hong to be incomplete because of the bumps on the horseback. As for the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the minister privately guessed that she probably belonged to the person who was born without Yuan Hong, although such a person was not common, but it did exist. However, as a virgin woman, even if there is no Yuan Hong, the man who has sex with her should still be able to feel it. β
Yuwen Moyuan was relieved, nodded, and his face was still calm: "Today is a long experience." Well, it's not too early. Let's go to the Love Bell Tower now. Read the pulse for Mrs., and let you go back to rest early. β
When Yuwen Moyuan arrived at the door of the Love Bell Tower with Imperial Physician Wang, he heard Su Mei report that Lan Jing'an had fallen asleep on the Love Bell Tower. Yuwen Moyuan listened, but it was not good to let Imperial Doctor Wang diagnose her pulse again. Thinking about it, since she can sleep peacefully, Yuwen Moyuan feels that it will be the same to look at the pulse tomorrow. He sent Imperial Physician Wang and Su Mei Suju, and walked into the Love Bell Tower alone.

Chapter 51: Gentleness and Tenderness
The Love Bell Tower is not high, there are only two floors, the first floor is used as a study and a painting room, and there is also a guqin pipa. And the second floor basically belongs to Lan Jing'an's private territory, and the inside is completely arranged according to her preferences. In addition to placing a large number of rare books and ancient scrolls collected by Yuwen Moyuan for her, a low couch smoker was also placed.
Yuwen Moyuan missed the time when he and Lan Jing'an met in Bide Building, so he specially ordered someone to lay wolf skin mats on the second floor of the bedroom and the Love Bell Tower, and placed a small table and chessboard respectively, so that Lan Jing'an could play with him at any time. It can be said that in the entire Mulan Garden, Lan Jing'an's favorite place is the second floor of the Love Bell Tower, where he often waits for him.
The second floor was silent, but the lights were still bright. Yuwen Moyuan entered the room lightly and saw Lan Jing'an curled up on a low couch asleep. She clumped like a shrimp, frowning, and her sleeping expression was a little panicked. Yuwen Moyuan saw her like this, and his heart was sour, knowing that he really scared her last night.
When she first woke up from a coma, she also didn't sleep well, and she always looked panicked. It wasn't until the two of them got acquainted that she would unconsciously let go of her hands and feet in her sleep, and she would fall asleep. Now, she seems to be back to her old form, even worse than before.
After listening to Imperial Physician Wang's words, Yuwen Moyuan had already guessed that she might have been too suspicious before, and judging from her performance, there should be no other man who had ever approached her. Eighty percent is because she loves horseback riding, and even went to the front line in person, Yuan Hong fell early. He kept making excuses for her in his heart and forgave her.
Yuwen Moyuan sat on the edge of the couch, thinking of the pitiful appearance of her who had been used to her yesterday, and only pity for her was left in his heart. Only then did he begin to regret why he didn't resist the urge last night and make it clear to her. He had waited for her for so long, seeing that she was about to accept him completely, and now he had let a moment of anger ruin him. He couldn't help but sigh.
Lan Jing'an slept very lightly this night, and she had just dreamed that she seemed to have fallen into the abyss when she heard a sigh. Frightened, she woke up with a thrill. She raised her eyes and saw Yuwen Moyuan sitting on the edge of the couch looking at herself affectionately, trembling, holding the brocade and shrinking into the couch, until her back was against the wall, there was no way to retreat, sitting by the wall and looking at him vigilantly, for fear that he would pounce again.
Yuwen Moyuan knew that she was really injured this time, not only physically, but also emotionally lost trust in him. He sat motionless and didn't dare to move, and apologized to her tenderly: "Lan'er, I'm sorry." Last night, I was greedy for a cup, and I drank too much at once, and I didn't know how to do that kind of thing that was not on the table. Don't be afraid, I swear, from now on, I will never hurt you again, otherwise I will not die a good death. β
Lan Jing'an didn't believe in him at all before, but when he heard him swear a poisonous oath, he was somewhat forgiving in his heart. She opened her mouth in a hoarse voice: "Junzhu, don't come here, I'm afraid." I want to sleep here alone tonight, and you can go back to the yard yourself. β
Yuwen Moyuan was ready to be scolded by her, or even punched and kicked, but she seemed to have only fear left.
Fortunately, she was still willing to call his name, and it seemed that although she hated him for using force last night, she didn't notice anything, and still recognized herself as her husband.
Yuwen Moyuan knew that if he really left now, he was afraid that he would not want to be in the same room with Lan Jing'an in the future. He lowered his body, lowered his eyes, and pleaded with her pitifully: "Lan'er, I know you hate me in your heart. I hate myself too. But I really never wanted to hurt you, you are more important to me than anything else. I don't beg you to forgive me now, but can you please not take me back to the yard. Without you by my side for the night, I would have been sleepless all night. I promise that if you don't agree, I'll never touch you, so let me sleep on a mat on the ground, okay? β
Lan Jing'an looked at a powerful and proud person on weekdays, pleading with herself so lowly, and felt a little uncomfortable, but she still shook her head silently.
Lan Jing'an couldn't help but think about it, could it be that he was so terrifying when he had sex with him before? Why are you so afraid of him? But after thinking about it for a long time, no memories came flooding up, and she desperately tried to remember how she married him, and there was a blank again. Her head ached violently as she tried to recall, causing her to fall to her knees on the bed, clutching her head and moaning in pain.
Yuwen Moyuan knew that her headache had flared up again, so he quickly took her hand down, kneaded her Hegu acupoint, and put her head on his lap, and gently pressed the Baihui acupoint on the top of her head for her. These were all taught to him by Imperial Physician Wang, who knew that Yuwen Moyuan didn't want to dissolve the blood stasis in the back of Lan Jing'an's brain, but he was reluctant to let her have an unbearable headache, so he had to teach him a set of massage methods. Let Lan Jing'an relieve the pain a little when the headache attacks.
When Lan Jing'an had a headache, the feeling that life was worse than death made her forget everything around her, and only endless pain entangled her. It is precisely because of this that she is a little afraid to recall the past. Unexpectedly, this time the headache was more intense than before, and her sweat mixed with tears flowed down uncontrollably, wetting Yuwen Moyuan's robe under her head.
She breathed heavily, warning herself not to think about anything now. After a while, the headache slowly subsided. Only then did Lan Jingan realize that he was pillowed on Yuwen Moyuan's lap, and his two hands were still rubbing on the acupuncture points on the top of his head and on his hands.
Yuwen Moyuan's face was also pale with fright, he knew that she had a headache, but this time it seemed to be particularly powerful. Even though Imperial Physician Wang said that there would be no problems after the headache, he was still worried. No one knows the guilt in his heart, it was he who let her suffer so much in order to keep her by his side. He closed his thin lips tightly, hoping that his massage would shorten her pain.
Lan Jing'an felt better, and wanted to get up and shrink back to the wall. Yuwen Moyuan hugged her gently and buried her head in his chest. She felt his body seem to tremble slightly, and his muffled voice reached her ears: "Lan'er, I'm sorry. β
Lan Jing'an heard the choking in his voice and was in a trance. Did he cry? The man who was usually gentle to her and tough on the outside actually hugged her and cried?
After a moment of silence, Lan Jing'an broke free from Yuwen Moyuan's arms. His tears were gone, but the red in his eyes couldn't fool her. Junzhu was like a child who had made a mistake, sitting honestly on the side, half-bowing his head, his expression full of frustration and sadness.
Lan Jing'an's heart suddenly softened, although he still hated what he did yesterday, he was no longer so repulsive to him. She hesitated and whispered: "Then you sleep underground, don't come up." β
Yuwen Moyuan looked up at her in disbelief, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy. Did she forgive him? She really forgave him! Yuwen Moyuan nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly agreed: "As long as you don't drive me away, I will be honest underground tonight." β
Lan Jing'an didn't want to deal with him anymore, turned his head and hugged the brocade and lay back on the inside of the low couch, leaning against the wall, with his back to Yuwen Moyuan, and closed his eyes.
The Love Bell Tower was not originally used as a place to sleep, and there was such a low couch and brocade for the convenience of Lan Jing'an to rest during the day. Now that Lan Jing'an is sleeping on the bed with Jin Ji in his arms, Yuwen Moyuan can only sleep on the wolf skin cushion and make up for the night. But even then he didn't want to go out of this room, as long as she could be in the same room with him, he still had a chance to slowly coax her.
Lan Jing'an didn't let Yuwen Moyuan put out the lights, and he didn't dare to move. The two of them fell asleep on the couch and on the ground.
------------
Chapter 52: Sleeping in the Same Bed
Although Lan Jing'an had her back to Yuwen Moyuan, she couldn't sleep at all. She didn't know if she should continue to trust him. He seemed to be too good to her. She didn't know if other people's husbands also treated their wives like this, but Su Mei and Suju praised her for her good fortune, saying that she didn't know how many lifetimes she had cultivated to get such a husband. Except for last night, he has indeed been very respectful and cherishes himself.
However, there has always been a kind of estrangement between him in her heart. Because of the Jade Fox's matter, she will now be suspicious of his previous statements. She felt that he must have something to hide from her, and it was not a small matter. She didn't know how to find out the truth of the matter, but she didn't want to live with Junzhu for the rest of her life. And yesterday's forcible occupation made her extremely frightened. She couldn't figure out which one was the real him.
Lan Jing'an's complicated feelings for Junzhu made her toss and turn. She lay still for a long time, and when she heard that there was no movement around her, she couldn't help but turn over. The grease of the goose fish blue lantern is running out, and the light is dimming. In the haze, she saw Yuwen Moyuan half-curled up underground. He was long and broad, the wolf skin cushion could not support his whole body, and his legs and feet were directly placed on the floor. And probably because the ground was cold and there was nothing to cover, he hugged his shoulders with both hands.
Lan Jing'an still couldn't bear it in the end, and fed softly. Yuwen Moyuan actually didn't fall asleep, as the prince of a country, he had never slept underground, and he didn't even have a cover, it was really difficult for him. Hearing Lan Jing'an's tentative voice, he pretended to have just woken up, rubbed his eyes and sat up.
Lan Jing'an saw him sit up, but he didn't know whether to continue. She turned around and shrank back into the brocade, and whispered a sentence: "If you feel cold, go back to the yard and sleep well, or go to sleep on the couch." β
Yuwen Moyuan was like being amnestied, quickly uncrowned and took off his robe, and turned over on the couch in ecstasy. This was the first time he had gotten permission from Lan Jing'an to sleep together. He is now so glad that he stayed in the Love Bell Tower tonight, there is only one bed here, which makes Lan Jing'an feel compassionate.
The low couch in the Love Bell Tower is not wide, and after Yuwen Moyuan came up, the bodies of the two people inevitably came into contact. Lan Jing'an was a little self-defeating, complaining about how he was soft-hearted. But the others have already come up, and it is not good to drive him down again. She simply did it to the end, and gave half of the brocade to Junzhu.
The wild goose fish blue lamp ran out of oil and dried up, and finally flashed for a while, and finally went out, and everything fell into darkness. Lan Jing'an didn't see Yuwen Moyuan's satisfied and sly smile.
The two didn't say anything all night, and Yuwen Moyuan also kept his promise and didn't make any intimate moves to Lan Jing'an. But even so, he was satisfied. Her warm body was at his side, her hair tangled with his, her breath making him feel like even his breath was sweet. Yuwen Moyuan felt that on this night, they became a real husband and wife.
On the morning of the second day, Lan Jing'an woke up first, she turned her face sideways, and looked at Yuwen Moyuan's sleeping face close at hand. He was much older than her, and even though he was well maintained, there was still a fine line at the corner of his eye. He usually had a sense of superiority to his subordinates and servants, but now, he slept softly beside him, completely unguarded.
Lan Jing'an tried to get up, but the hair of the two was already entangled. She was in a hurry, hissed, and hurriedly leaned down in pain. Yuwen Moyuan also woke up, looking at her half-propped body, trying to untie the tangled ends of the two people's hair. He reached out to help her, but at once he tore her down, and fell right into his arms.
Yuwen Moyuan's heartbeat reached her ears, and Lan Jing'an panicked and wanted to get up. His hand touched her back, hugged her gently, and whispered, "Don't move, just let me hug you." I won't hurt you. Lan Jing'an felt something, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and waited on his chest for a while. Yuwen Moyuan lowered his head and kissed her thick black hair and let go. and helped her straighten the knotted hair of the two.
Lan Jing'an still didn't want to take care of him, but she was on the inside, and if she didn't step over him, she couldn't go to the small table to get the deep clothes she took off yesterday. She could only stare at Yuwen Moyuan, hoping that he would be more interesting and quickly get up and walk to the side. Yuwen Moyuan looked at Lan Jing'an's eyes staring at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile. He knew what she wanted to do, but he wanted to get up slowly and enjoy the bed with her.
Yesterday, Yuwen Moyuan had already sent Su Mei Su Ju back, and there were only the two of them in this love bell tower. Yuwen Moyuan told Lan Jing'an that the two of them could only dress each other and tie their hair today, and then go back to the yard to freshen up.
Lan Jing'an glared at him angrily again, and reluctantly accepted this fact. She didn't want the two of them to appear in the garden in disheveled clothes and become the laughing stock of everyone.
Fortunately, although there is no hot water in the love bell tower, there is a jar of cold water on the first floor to clean her hands. Yuwen Moyuan slapped a basin of cold water upstairs, and the two of them made do with the noodles.
But when it came time to get dressed, Lan Jing'an was stunned. In the past, although they lived in the same room, they all had maidservants to serve them, and it was always Su Ju who changed Yuwen Moyuan's clothes, and she really didn't wear them for him once. Looking at Yuwen Moyuan's appearance that I don't know how to wear and come and help me, she can't really leave him alone here. She could only grit her teeth and twist her scalp to change his clothes. Although it was a little clumsy, it was finally all dressed, and the jade silk was tied around the waist. And when it was her turn to dress, Yuwen Moyuan wanted to help her, but she was grateful and refused to let him do it. Yuwen Moyuan had no choice but to smile and watch her put on a red moire deep robe.
When it was Lan Jing'an's turn to tie his hair, he couldn't help even if he wanted to. She will simply comb her hair, and she doesn't know where to start when the man ties his hair upright. Yuwen Moyuan still grinded her and asked her to give her a head, and then he skillfully tied his hair with a crown. And Lan Jing'an himself can't comb complicated buns, but Yuwen Moyuan claims to be able to comb it, pulls her to sit down, and combs her hair himself.
In fact, Yuwen Moyuan had never combed a woman's hair in a bun, he just combed Lan Jing'an's soft long hair one by one, enjoying the feeling of her sitting there meekly. In his eyes, he actually thinks that Lan Jing looks better with her hair scattered now, and she doesn't have a charming style.
Lan Jing'an gradually noticed that something was wrong, and felt that he was being played by Junzhu, so he asked him angrily: "Can you comb it?" Yuwen Moyuan was amused, pulled her hair into a loose bun, turned to the front and said to her, "Comb it." Lan Jing'an knew that he couldn't comb at all when he touched it, so he stood up and complained to him: "I obviously can't comb." And lie to me. β
Yuwen Moyuan looked at her pouting, glanced at her with resentment, and felt that her bones were about to be crispy. He hugged her and said affectionately to Lan Jing'an: "Lan'er, you have taken all my heart. Promise me never to leave me. β
Lan Jing'an was a little frightened by his sudden hug, but after listening to his intentions, he couldn't bear to push him away. She gently patted him on the back comfortingly and sighed. slowly opened his mouth: "Junzhu, as long as you don't lie to me or bully me." I'm always there for you. β

Chapter 53: The Pearl Necklace
Yuwen Mochi and Lan Jing'an passed by the Love Bell Tower for one night, which was basically a release of their previous suspicions. It's just that Lan Jing'an planted the seeds of doubt in his heart.
When Lan Jing'an realized that Yuwen Moyuan was already dressed neatly and that she was still wearing her hair, she suddenly had an idea, now she didn't have to go out with him, as long as he sent Su Mei Suju over to dress her up, wouldn't it?
Yuwen Moyuan was in her coquettish urging, and half-pushed and half-pushed back to the courtyard first. The first thing he did when he arrived at the courtyard was to order someone to remove the low couch in the bedroom. Since he could sleep with Lan Jing An last night, he was confident that he would soften her heart again today, and he would share the bed with him from now on.
The second thing Yuwen Moyuan did was to find the eye-catching white jade pendant, he had to find it and smash it! But he didn't see it after turning around, and he didn't know if Lan Jing'an could find it. So he called Su Mei Su Ju in to inquire, and both of them said that they didn't see it when they bathed Lan Jing'an yesterday morning, and there didn't seem to be anything on the ground at that time. Yuwen Moyuan thought about confirming on Lan Jing'an at night, as long as she didn't bring it, it was estimated that she had been left in a corner the night before, and it would not be too late to find it in the future.
Yuwen Moyuan asked Sumei Suju to go to the Love Bell Tower to serve Lan Jing'an, and he went to the court. He was really reluctant to change out of the robe that Lan Jing'an put on for him personally, so he left directly.
By the time Lan Jing'an returned to the courtyard, Yuwen Moyuan had already left. When she returned to the bedroom, she saw that Yuwen Moyuan had ordered someone to move the low couch, and she was grinding her teeth angrily. He will have to make inches, isn't he afraid that he will really not let him enter the bedroom door?
Yuwen Moyuan was in a particularly good mood this day, and the courtiers were stunned. Yesterday I was not in good spirits, why did it change overnight? Yuwen Moyuan lifted his spirits and discussed with everyone in the court for a long time, and decided to transfer 60,000 elite soldiers, and Zhao Guogong personally led the troops from the direction of Yuzhou to intercept Xiao Qingyun.
Although Xiao Qingyun had 50,000 troops and a few peasant troops in the old Qianguo army when he raised his army, there was a huge gap between the combat effectiveness of the southern peasant army and the well-trained professional soldiers, and there were many old and infirm people in the old Qianguo army. In the old land of Qianguo like Yangzhou and Jingzhou, because of the support of the people and the familiarity of the terrain, it was easy for the cadre army led by Xiao Qingyun to attack. And once it entered the territory of Xuzhou, the speed of the battle advance slowed down significantly.
In addition, he had to send people to defend the southern line where Yangzhou and Jiaozhou met, as well as control the places that had already been occupied, and Xiao Qingyun actually had no more than 30,000 elite troops available. Yuwen Moyuan wanted to wipe out Xiao Qingyun and his main force in Xuzhou with twice as many troops as him. Then go south from Xuzhou to recapture Jingyang and Yangzhou.
On this day, the court proceedings were basically smooth, and Yuwen Moyuan first went to greet Emperor Wei after going down to the court, and then went to Shaofu to find Jin Yuling, who was in charge of the jewelry of the Inner Palace, and asked for a pearl necklace worn by the Empress Dowager Xiaoren back then.
Empress Dowager Xiaoren is the biological mother of Emperor Wei, she climbed step by step from the status of a criminal slave to the queen, and the born Emperor Wei also became a generation of emperors, regarded as a legendary figure of Dayong. Her things are taken good care of by Emperor Wei on weekdays, sealed in Shaofu, and never willing to reward them to the ladies in the palace.
This time, Yuwen Moyuan went to Jin Yuling to ask for something from the Empress Dowager Xiaoren, and he was the first person who dared to disobey Emperor Wei's order to ask for something. However, Jin Yuling also knew that Emperor Wei was about to die, and Yuwen Moyuan, the crown prince, would become the next emperor in less than a year and a half. He didn't want to reject the prince now and make trouble for himself in the future. Not only did he obediently find the pearl necklace, but he also handed over the necklace without registering it according to Yuwen Moyuan's request.
Yuwen Moyuan went out of the palace, and originally planned to go back to the prince's mansion directly, but found that Yuwen Mochi was waiting for him at the gate of the palace, and begged him to agree to go to Liuchun Tower for a meal together. Yuwen Moyuan didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of Yuwen Mochi, but Yuwen Moyuan, who had always paid attention to the image of his brother and brother, was not good at refusing him in front of others, so he could only agree to go with him.
It turned out that Yuwen Ink Pool was a Toucheng coming. He saw that Emperor Wei was powerless to return to heaven. knew that if he didn't show favor to the prince again, when Yuwen Moyuan became the emperor, he was afraid that he would be the first unlucky prince. Yuwen Mochi knew that his second brother was the most sanctimonious, and he would not usually kill them all in the open, but it was unknown what means he would use in private. He will never forget the scene when Yuwen Moyuan slashed his neck with a dagger in the Yanbo Pavilion, but as a result, Yuwen Moyuan not only retreated, but he became the one who was reprimanded.
Yuwen Moyuan did not ridicule Yuwen Mochi, nor did he refuse him. Even though he couldn't wait for Yuwen Mochi's life to avenge Feng Yuxiu and Lan Jing'an, he knew that this was a good opportunity to establish his image and buy people's hearts. He made a gesture of ignoring his previous enmity, and continued to call Yuwen Mochi brothers, and promised that once he had a suitable position, he would still let him enter the court to discuss politics.
By the time Yuwen Moyuan returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already dark. In addition to the anti-stasis medicine that Lan Jing had not had time to put on yesterday, he also had a string of pearl necklaces in his sleeve. During the day, Imperial Physician Wang had already given Lan Jing'an a pulse, and although she had suffered a crime the night before, her body was fine. Imperial Physician Wang had already reported the result to Yuwen Moyuan, which finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.
When he returned to the courtyard of Mulan Garden, Lan Jing'an played tricks and locked the door to prevent him from entering. Yuwen Moyuan shouted outside the room: "Madam, it's wrong for your husband." Please forgive me and open the door for me. Madame, last night..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lan Jing'an opened the door with a bang and glared at this open-mouthed guy. Yuwen Moyuan grinned and took the opportunity to squeeze in. Lan Jing'an warned him viciously: "What are you talking about, you are still shouting so loudly, the whole courtyard hears it." Will you let me see anyone tomorrow? β
Yuwen Moyuan didn't hold it at this time, and made amends to her with a hippie smile: "Good Lan'er, don't be angry." The people outside have already sent me away, and the whole yard is just you and me, and no one will talk nonsense. Look what I've brought you. β
After speaking, he took out the pearl necklace of the Empress Dowager Xiaoren from his sleeve. This necklace is made of southern pearls, all of them are round, and the most rare thing is that each pearl is white and flawless, without a little dull yellow, shining in the light. Yuwen Moyuan also sent Lan Jing'an a lot of rare treasures, but a pearl necklace of this quality is extremely rare.
Although Lan Jing'an also thinks that the color of this pearl necklace is very good, she is not very interested in these external objects. It's just that for the sake of Yuwen Moyuan's sincerity to please her, he still smiled at him a little. Yuwen Moyuan saw that she accepted her gift, and hurriedly put it on for her to see the effect.
Lan Jing'an lowered her head and turned her back to Yuwen Moyuan, revealing her slender neck, this was the first time she allowed Yuwen Moyuan to put on her jewelry with her own hands. Yuwen Moyuan was greatly relieved to see that there was no longer that eye-catching pendant on her smooth skin. He carefully put a pearl necklace on her, but he rarely told her the origin of the necklace.
Yuwen Moyuan looked at the beauty under the lamp, and really felt that this string of pearls with Lan Jing'an was very suitable. He couldn't help but hug Lan Jing'an from behind and whispered to her: "Lan'er, let's live a good life from now on, okay?" Just like ordinary couples, they are not separated day and night, and they have a large number of children and grow old together. β
Lan Jing'an hesitated for a long time and didn't speak, she didn't know what she should say. After being silent for a while, he could only try to change the subject: "Have you eaten?" I've been waiting for you to come back, and I haven't eaten yet. β
------------
Chapter 54: Drugged her
Yuwen Moyuan heard that Lan Jing'an hadn't eaten because he had been waiting for him, and he was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly went out to ask Su Mei and the others to arrange dinner.
Lan Jing'an has dinner on weekdays, and is always used to going to the garden to take a few steps to eliminate food. But because of the physical injury she had the day before, she was still very weak today, so she refused to go out, only held a book and sat under the lamp.
Yuwen Moyuan knew about her situation, and when he sent others, he came to her side. said to her: "Lan'er, it was my bad the day before yesterday that made you suffer." I specially asked for a medicine to remove stasis from the Imperial Doctor, and it is said that it will get better soon after applying it. Or I'll give you the medicine right now? β
Lan Jing'an heard that he was going to give himself medicine, thinking of the incident the day before yesterday, and angrily twisted Yuwen Moyuan's arm. Yuwen Moyuan hissed in pain, but he still half-closed his eyes and said bitterly, "It's good to pinch." As long as Lan'er can vent, it's worth it. β
When Lan Jing'an heard this, he was embarrassed to poison again. He withdrew his hand and asked him for medicine to remove stasis. Yuwen Moyuan obediently handed her the medicine bottle. She opened the bottle and sniffed it, a cool breath that made her want to apply it to her bruises right now. But she was embarrassed to let Su Mei or Su Ju see that she was injured because of this kind of thing, so she had to take medicine herself.
She asked Yuwen Moyuan to go out and wait for a while, and then come in when she was on the medicine. But Yuwen Moyuan refused anything, and said that she had some injuries on her back, and she couldn't see it and couldn't take the medicine. And the medicine of Imperial Physician Wang is precious, so he only has this small bottle, how can he smear it indiscriminately and waste it. Yuwen Moyuan repeatedly promised that he would not do anything except take medicine.
Lan Jing'an felt that Jun Zhu was indeed a decent gentleman at other times except for the night after drinking, and he was also a person who did what he said, and he was telling the truth. She hesitated, but agreed to let him drug her back.
Lan Jing'an asked Yuwen Moyuan to turn around first, and he lightly untied his shirt, leaving only his underwear and going to bed. On the bed, he shyly took off his underwear and drugged everything he could see. Doctor Wang's ointment is really easy to use, it is cool and comfortable to apply, and it doesn't seem to be so sore.
After she had medicine everything she could see, she gently lay down, covered her waist with the quilt, exposed her jade back, and asked Yuwen Moyuan to give her back medicine. Yuwen Moyuan now did not have the flirtatious look of a hippie smile on his face, as if he was a saint, he did not squint, and picked out the medicine and slowly applied it to her bruises.
He applied very slowly, and while applying, he was still helping Lan Jing'an massage the uninjured area. Although Lan Jing'an, who was scared at first, almost got up, the comfortable feeling slowly made her relax her vigilance, and even lay on the pillow and fell asleep.
Yuwen Moyuan smiled shallowly, this first step has been completed. His hand moved slowly downward, but he still medicated her and massaged her in a regular manner, and did not do anything beyond the bounds. Lan Jing'an only felt unusually relaxed, completely unaware that his hand had slipped below her waist.
After Yuwen Moyuan thoroughly applied the ointment to Lan Jing'an's back, Lan Jing'an felt that something was wrong. But at this time, the medicine was all over, and she couldn't scold Yuwen Moyuan for being a shameless person, not to mention that he did not do anything but take the medicine as he promised. Lan Jing took medicine and got a massage, and it was when he was sleepy. She didn't care about Yuwen Moyuan anymore, wrapped the quilt tightly, and hid in the bed to sleep.
What Yuwen Moyuan wanted was to eat away at Lan Jing'an's consciousness step by step, so that she would gradually relax her fear of herself. Seeing that she didn't speak today, he turned off the lights, stripped off his clothes, put his underwear aside, and went to bed. However, he listened intently for a long time, and only after confirming that Lan Jing'an was asleep was asleep did he slowly rub over to her and slide himself into the quilt.
Last night in the Love Bell Tower, the two of them slept in undershirts. But today, due to the medicine, Lan Jing'an took off her underwear half-off, and when she was wrapped in the quilt, the underwear had actually been picked up by Yuwen Moyuan, and she herself was completely unaware in a daze. Yuwen Moyuan snickered alone in the dark, he could finally share the same bed with Lan Jing'an again.
Although Lan Jing'an felt very comfortable because of the medicine, she still had nightmares in the middle of the night, dreaming of a child crying in front of her, although she felt extremely sad, but she couldn't get close to this child who couldn't make out her face, so she could only let the child cry alone.
Due to the nightmare, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of Lan Jing'an's eyes, wetting Yuwen Moyuan's sturdy arms that were sleeping around her. Yuwen Moyuan felt a little wet and cold on his arm, and woke up. Before the sky was bright, in the hazy light, he saw Lan Jing'an with his eyes closed, frowning, with a sad look on his face, and tears were still flowing involuntarily.
Yuwen Moyuan heard that people with nightmares should not wake up suddenly, so he leaned into her ear and called her softly: "Lan'er, Lan'er, wake up quickly." Lan Jing'an felt that someone was shouting Lan'er, turned her head to look, and then turned around, the little child was gone. She was in a hurry and woke up all at once.
Jun Zhu was looking at her a little anxiously, calling her name softly. Seeing that she woke up, he directly hugged her in his arms and kept comforting her: "Dreams are all reversed, everything will be fine." Junzhu's warm chest was spreading the calming heat to her body little by little, and the feeling of despair seemed to gradually subside and slowly subside.
She revealed a little face with pear blossoms and rain from his arms, and Yuwen Moyuan couldn't help but kiss her forehead and hugged her tighter. When Lan Jing'an completely calmed down, she found that Yuwen Moyuan not only climbed into her bed, but also slept with her naked! She was so angry that she wanted to kick him out of bed!
Lan Jing'an snatched the quilt and wrapped it around herself, but seeing that Yuwen Moyuan was not wearing underwear, her face flushed with shame, and she hurriedly turned around and asked him, "Why are you here?" Yuwen Moyuan hurriedly explained: "After finishing the medicine last night, it was already late. You slept sweetly, so I went to bed. β
Lan Jing'an was embarrassed, and said, "I mean, why are you in my bed?" Still not wearing underwear? Yuwen Moyuan said with an innocent face: "You didn't say that I wasn't allowed to go to bed." Besides, we are husband and wife, so we naturally want to share the same bed. As for the underwear, I saw that you didn't wear it last night, thinking that you didn't like to wear underwear to sleep, for fear of grinding you, so I took it off. However, I really didn't do anything other than give you a medicated massage. Let's see if you feel much more comfortable than yesterday. Lan Jing'an can't get along with him, but he is indeed much better. She secretly looked inside the quilt again, and the bruises on her body disappeared magically.
Yuwen Moyuan was taken away from the quilt and didn't wear his underwear, and soon sneezed from the cold. Lan Jing'an couldn't, so he had to let him re-enter the quilt. Yuwen Moyuan simply hugged her and didn't do anything to her, but Lan Jing'an felt his rapidly rising body temperature, and still turned his direction with a red face, refusing to look at him again.
Since this day, Yuwen Moyuan has basically completely captured Lan Jing'an. Except for Yu Dunlun, she was always reluctant, and in other things, she acquiesced to his company. Yuwen Moyuan felt that this was something that made him feel stronger than the sense of conquest in the court, and there was nothing happier than getting her completely.
------------
Chapter 55: The Direction of Attack
Time always flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's July again.
In the past month or so, the 60,000 elite soldiers led by Zhao Guogong have indeed brought great pressure to Xiao Qingyun's cadres. The two sides fought a number of battles in Xiapi City. Although Xiao Qingyun relied on many years of experience in leading the army in the northwest and the loyalty of the cadres to defend the occupied territory of Xuzhou with great difficulty, it was difficult for him to advance in the direction of Yuzhou.
Zhao Guogong saw that Xiao Qingyun was well defended, and he was currently hiding in the strong Xiapi City, so he had to use the method of besieging the city, hoping to exhaust Xiao Qingyun's grain and grass, in order to catch turtles in the urn.
On this day, everyone discussed the next march direction in Xiao Qingyun's marshal tent. Several people spread out the map and discussed it carefully.
The first to speak was Zheng Rong, a veteran who had served as a general of the Qianguo Army: "Marshal, now Zhao Gou's army is biting too tightly. If we stick to our bottom and can't get out, we will soon run out of ammunition. If we continue to advance in the direction of Yuzhou, the losses will be very large. At present, only the east of Xiapi City is adjacent to Surabaya, and the other party has no way to besiege it. Why don't we go around Surabaya and retreat to Guangling first, accumulate strength and then make plans? β
Feng Gu, the current left pioneer, has a different view. He was the former leader of the Xuzhou Peasant Army, and in the Battle of Guangling, he surrendered to Xiao Qingyun. He shook his head and said, "Although I agree to break through from Surabaya, I think that if I retreat to Guangling now, I will definitely grow the morale of others and destroy my prestige." Dayong has more military horses than us, and we have fought until now, mainly relying on one breath. If the morale of the army is shaken, I am afraid it will be difficult to advance. I think that since the other party has blocked Yuzhou, then we will change direction and attack Yanzhou through Lanling. β
As the chief military division, although Shen Rongzhi is young, his thoughts are different from those of everyone: "What the two generals said makes sense. I also agree to break through the encirclement through Surabaya. But after that, I think the march route is still through Kaiyang to the north, find a way to enter Qingzhou, and capture Qingzhou first. β
When everyone heard him say that he was going to attack Qingzhou, they were taken aback. The right general, Chen Yang, said unceremoniously: "I'm afraid the military advisor hasn't woken up yet, right?" Qingzhou is currently the territory of King Ding, don't forget that King Ding is also surnamed Yuwen. Even if he rebels now, as long as we attack Qingzhou, I am afraid that he will join forces with Zhao Gou's army to deal with us. When the time comes, we will be sandwiched between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and we will definitely die. β
Shen Rongzhi shook his fan and said confidently: "No, no." The men of the Yuwen family are always amiable on the surface, and the infighting is the most powerful. At present, Emperor Wei is seriously ill and is in power by the crown prince. For the crown prince, King Ding is afraid that he is more terrible than us, and he is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see that we are both defeated before making a move. β
Next, he analyzed it carefully: "First, King Ding is now playing the name of Qingjun, and he is a generation older than the prince in terms of generation. If the crown prince immediately intervened to help the king, the royal family would only think that this was what the prince should do, and it would not benefit his reputation. And the king will not let Qingzhou out because of this. Therefore, the prince will definitely just stand by until the last moment. β
From King Ding's point of view, he was also reluctant to ask Yuwen Moyuan for help easily. King Ding has always been a particularly conceited person, and he has always looked down on Emperor Wei, how can he look down on the prince? And if he helps him deal with us this time, he still has to worry about whether the prince will take Qingzhou. After all, he committed a major crime of killing his head, and once he fell into the hands of Yuwen Moyuan, he would definitely be beheaded. So he would rather fight to the death with us than ask for help from Yuwen Moyuan. β
"Let's talk about Qingzhou here. Qingzhou has always been a battleground for soldiers. Not only because of its important terrain, but more importantly, Qingzhou has excellent fertile land and iron mines, and the men in Qingzhou are tall and brave enough to fight, so they can be said to be good candidates for conscription. Compared with the south in the past two years, Qingzhou has not caused much disaster, and there is enough grain. If we can take Qingzhou, it will definitely be beneficial to the battle after that. β
Speaking of grain and grass, Bai Qingfeng chose to support Shen Rongzhi's choice without hesitation. The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and for him, a person in charge of money and grain, there was nothing more suitable for him to take it first than Qingzhou, which had millions of grains. And if Qingzhou can be won, the iron ore near Linjiang is famous since ancient times. Compared with the south, the iron ore smelting method of Linjiang is more mature, and the swords and spears produced are sharper and not easy to break, which can be said to be the best military supply.
After listening to Shen Rongzhi and Bai Qingfeng's analysis, everyone also felt that if they could obtain Qingzhou, it would probably be of great benefit to the war in the future. But Qingzhou is not so easy to take. Although King Ding's soldiers and horses are not many, but there are only 5,000 people, Qingzhou's recruits are claimed to be able to weigh 200,000. With only 30,000 of them, and facing the encirclement and interception of Zhao Guogong's 60,000 army, how can they take Qingzhou? Thinking of this, everyone shook their heads again.
Xiao Qingyun already had an idea after listening to everyone's analysis, he felt that since Qingzhou was important, then he had to take Qingzhou first no matter what. He had one more reason than Shen Rongzhi, if he didn't take Qingzhou and attack Yanzhou directly, King Ding would take advantage of their unpreparedness and sneak attack from the east road. And once you enter Yanzhou, if you can't take it smoothly, you are likely to be attacked from three sides, and there will be no way out except for retreat.
As for how to take Qingzhou, Xiao Qingyun has his own ideas, he thinks that although Qingzhou is difficult to take, it is not impossible.
Qingzhou's biggest weakness is that King Ding is in command, not Emperor Wei or the crown prince. The most important thing in war is that the division is famous. King Ding would rather use the name of King Qin in the name of Qingjun, which shows how much he doesn't want to be in the same boat with Emperor Wei and the crown prince in his bones. And in his name, even the common people know that it will inevitably cause the dislike of the emperor or the crown prince, so the loyalty of the lower-level sergeants must be insufficient.
And another factor is the people of Qingzhou. The people of Qingzhou have always attached importance to farming, and actually have their own demands for conscription, always hoping that in the case of each family, they can still leave enough labor to cultivate the fields to support their families. In order to consolidate his strength, the king forcibly conscripted 200,000 soldiers, and basically took away all the strong laborers, leaving only the old and young women and children in the family. This means that the people of Qingzhou are very likely to be very dissatisfied with King Ding.
In addition, King Ding is a person who is more arrogant and lascivious than Emperor Wei and greedy for beauty, and he wants to bully the people on weekdays. It is estimated that if one or two important cities with lax defense can really be captured, the people of Qingzhou will quickly re-establish their positions.
And if you want to use troops against Qingzhou, the first point is to be fast, and fight before King Ding reacts. The best way is to feint to attack Yanzhou, attack Qingzhou, and open up the situation while King Ding is not ready. The second point is the pacification policy after the siege, if the pacification policy is done well, so that the people spread the word, it is estimated that other places in Qingzhou will soon take refuge. If it is possible to surrender the army without a fight, then it is also possible for 30,000 elite soldiers to take down more than 200,000 troops.
After listening to Xiao Qingyun's analysis, everyone began to rejoice again, thinking that maybe they could try it. And Shen Rongzhi came up with a perfect attack plan in the next few days, and even Chen Yang, the right general who had doubts before, nodded yes and agreed to go north to Qingzhou.
------------
Chapter 56: Outwitting Qingzhou
On July 25, the 19th year of Jianye, the cadres who were holding Xiapi suddenly went out of the city at night, raided the Dayong camp in the west of the city, and set fire to the camp. Zhao Guogong thought that the siege plan was successful, and hurriedly mobilized a large army in order to annihilate Xiao Qingyun's battlefield in the west of Xiapi City.
Unexpectedly, it was only 1,000 people from the left forward battalion of the cadre army that raided, and the main force of the cadre army, taking advantage of Zhao Guogong's mobilization of a large army to the west of the city, had already secretly marched north along Surabaya from the east of the city under the cover of night. And even a lot of the drums in the West Gate were beaten by the people of Xiapi who volunteered, and there was no one else in Xiapi City except for the 1,000 people who defended.
The vanguard battalion of the cadre army has been training according to the training method of lethal iron cavalry in the past few months, and this time they are all fast horses, so they are not in love with war except for setting fire to the camp and causing chaos. Once they saw Dayong's army coming, the left forward battalion, under the leadership of Feng Gu, quickly retreated, and basically returned to Xiapi City without losses, and also turned around and slipped away from the east of the city.
And by the time Zhao Guogong reacted that something was wrong and began to besiege the city again, the 30,000 people led by Xiao Qingyun had already left far along Surabaya. The 1,000 soldiers in Xiapi City were all guarded on the city wall, and they still looked as numerous as the previous army when they were in the city.
Although Zhao Guogong doubted whether Xiao Qingyun had escaped the next day, there was no trace of him escaping, and the guards of Xiapi City were still as strong as facing the enemy. This made him doubt his judgment a little. Could it be that the other party couldn't hold back and came out to test last night, but saw that the situation was wrong and retracted back? Zhao Guogong decided that no matter what, he would defend the city for another month or two, and the total energy consumption would be so much that Xiao Qingyun couldn't hold it back, and came out to fight for life and death.
Xiao Qingyun led an army of 30,000 out of Xiapi, exchanged Yishui for Yishui along the way, and went north along Yishui, but did not attack Langya Zhudi. They marched quietly all the way, and let most of the sergeants wear old clothes outside the iron armor, and put on makeup as disaster victims who fled north, and even crossed the sea without anyone noticing. Dongguan is the last major town to the north of Xuzhou, and it is surrounded by hills to the west and north. If you pass through the mountains to the west, you can reach Yanzhou, and if you cross the mountains to the north, you can enter Chengyang and Beihai in Qingzhou.
In the mountainous areas near Dongguan, you can see some peculiar peaks everywhere, they are round and wide at the top, the cliffs around the peak are towering, and the slope of the cliffs is steep to gentle. As far as the eye can see, it looks like a mountain castle, towering in groups, majestic and majestic. These mountains are like mountains with flat scarf headdresses, twisting and winding, and are called "Gu" by the locals. Once inside these mounds, it is not very easy to find the traces of the opponent and destroy the enemy.
When Xiao Qingyun and the others entered Dongguan, the Dongguan guards didn't know where they came from, and thought they were a large number of refugees who had fled from the south. Although he closed the gates and tried to resist for a while, he did not lead the troops to meet the enemy as an enemy. In the end, in hesitation, he let them enter the city. When Xiao Qingyun and the others entered the city, took off their disguises and revealed their iron armor, the guard in Dongguan peed his pants directly in fright, and surrendered without half a word of nonsense.
A few days later, the news that Xiao Qingyun and others had arrived in Dongguan was sent back to Xiapi by nearby scouts. When Zhao Guogong found out that he had been fooled, he couldn't care about besieging Xiapicheng anymore, so he could only beat his chest and take people to Dongguan. It's a pity that when he arrived in Dongguan, Xiao Qingyun had already pulled out of the camp and entered the mountains, and he couldn't find anyone at all.
He repeatedly asked the Dongguan Shouwei, and judged the form, estimating that Xiao Qingyun should have led people to the west, in order to quickly attack Tai'an County in Yanzhou. So he took the army and quickly detoured to Yanzhou to intercept it.
And King Dingwang of Qingzhou also received news at this time, knowing that the cadre army led by Xiao Qingyun had passed through Dongguan City and entered the mountains. However, his analysis was the same as that of Zhao Guogong, and he felt that Xiao Qingyun's hatred for Emperor Wei would inevitably drive him to march west and attack Yanzhou. He didn't think that Xiao Qingyun would enter Qingzhou and be his enemy first.
At this time, King Ding was still very free, and even took the beauty to Donglai to play, hoping to hide from Yanzhou a little farther, so as not to let the two armies of Dayong and Qianguo accidentally hurt themselves. So when Xiao Qingyun led the Qianguo army to capture Yingling, everyone was in disbelief. Especially King Ding, he even wondered if Xiao Qingyun's guide had found the wrong way, so that they went out of the mountains, found a random city and began to attack.
But the capture of Yingling was only the beginning. Yuwen Moyuan and King Ding's reactions were really the same as Shen Rongzhi's analysis, one did not ask for help at all, and the other was unwilling to help. Yuwen Moyuan only asked Zhao Guogong to lead people to surround the place where Yanzhou and Qingzhou were handed over, thinking of waiting for work, and when the two sides were inseparable, let Zhao Guogong eliminate the two at the same time.
King Ding's heart was unbelievable, but when Xiao Qingyun captured Yidu, King Dingwang couldn't sit still at all, Yidu was only more than 100 miles away from Lindu, and the terrain was relatively flat.
This is not only because Linjiang is the lair of King Ding, but also because Linjiang is the place where he stationed his troops. More than half of his army was deployed near Linjiang. And he is not in Linjiang now, if he can't go back in time to command Linjiang's troops, then it is very likely that Qingzhou will be defeated.
King Ding rushed back in a hurry, and comforted himself that Xiao Qingyun only had 30,000 troops, and he had 110,000 troops in Linjiang, and Xiao Qingyun couldn't defeat him. It's a pity that it backfired, and before he could come back from Donglai, Linjiang had already fallen into the hands of Xiao Qingyun, and it was an unacceptable way.
It turned out that Xiao Qingyun marched all the way, and according to Shen Rongzhi's suggestion, he not only strictly enforced military discipline and never robbed food and hurt people, but also allowed the surrendered recruits to choose freely everywhere he went. If those who are willing to go home to plough the fields, they will be let go home, and if there are those who remain and are willing to continue to serve the cadres, they not only signed a contract with them to ensure that their families will no longer be forced to recruit soldiers, but also promised that the borderless land they conquered in Qingzhou in the future will be rewarded according to their military merits.
This is not only great news for the husband who is rich and secure, but one person can be exempted from military service for the whole family; It is a rare opportunity for poor people who do not have their own land or for middle-aged men with large families and not enough land, and many bachelors even regard this as the only opportunity to marry a wife.
In addition, Shen Rongzhi let people spread hexagrams about Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an everywhere, calling Xiao Qingyun the person who was blessed by the priestess, so he was able to survive many times of siege and interception by the army, and won Sanzhou in just eight months. The evil deeds of the king in the local area and the decay before Dayong have long been known to the people. In contrast, the people of Qingzhou quickly chose Xiao Qingyun.
When Xiao Qingyun and the others arrived outside Linjiang City, he didn't attack the city at all. He ordered people to besiege the city, and shot a lot of letters of persuasion to the generals in the city, telling them that if they surrendered now, they would not only ensure their safety, but also allow them to hold important military positions in the cadre army.
At the same time, he also threatened in the letter of persuasion that the more than 30,000 elite soldiers he is now leading are all trained in the way of deadly iron cavalry, which is enough to be ten for one. Looking at their previous actions in Yingling and Yidu, you can know that it is not a problem for the cadres to break through Linjiang. Once their elite soldiers enter the city, the generals in the city will not end well.
He also asked the Qingzhou sergeants who had been recruited in Yidu and other places to shout to the garrison in Linjiang City day and night in the Qingzhou dialect, preaching the policy of cadres and telling their own experiences, in order to touch the hearts of the low-level sergeants.
------------
Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Beauty Scheme
Linjiang, the most important city in Qingzhou, finally opened the city gate on September 22, took the initiative to surrender, welcomed Xiao Qingyun into the city, and served him as the master. The vast majority of the generals of Linjiang voted for the cadres, and a few who had objections were beheaded by their former colleagues before the city gate was opened.
Of the 110,000 garrison soldiers in Linjiang, 70,000 were willing to stay and continue to serve Xiao Qingyun's cadres, and the remaining 40,000 were released home to become a member of the peasants in the tun. The victory of Linjiang City was the largest number of people in a single collection since Xiao Qingyun raised his troops. Moreover, for the first time, the cadres tasted the sweetness of surrendering without a fight.
In Linjiang City, the generals of the cadre army no longer doubted Shen Rongzhi, a young man, and everyone thought that he was a well-deserved commander. And Xiao Qingyun dared to listen to Shen Rongzhi's advice and made a seemingly risky choice, which also made the veterans particularly admired.
At this time, King Ding was uncomfortable, he had a total of 200,000 husbands, which was also the confidence for him to dare to resist Emperor Wei, and now Xiao Qingyun got about 120,000 from the previous three cities, leaving only a few 80,000 people. Although Xiao Qingyun let a lot of recruits go home, he still recruited more than 70,000 Qingzhou soldiers, plus his previous 30,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are 100,000 people in the cadre army, which is more than the men and horses in his hands.
Moreover, Xiao Qingyun currently occupies the central part of Qingzhou, dividing Qingzhou into two. King Dingwang himself was blocked in Donglai County, and Jinan, Pingyuan, and other places with more densely populated troops were all west of Linjiang, and he couldn't reach it. King Ding had no choice but to ask Yuwen Moyuan for help at this time, but Xiao Qingyun had already ordered someone to block the Beihai and Chengyang lines, and he couldn't even send a distress letter now.
And Yuwen Moyuan didn't expect that Xiao Qingyun would be able to capture the central part of Qingzhou in less than two months, and take Linjiang, a battleground for soldiers. But he was busy with two other things now, and he didn't have the heart to care about the battle on Qingzhou's side. And Zhao Guogong couldn't concentrate because of the things in Yonghua City, so he just ordered people to strictly guard the front line of Yanzhou, and did not send troops to Qingzhou.
In the past two months, it is not only the situation in Qingzhou that has undergone earth-shaking changes, but also the prince's mansion in Yonghua City. It all started three months ago in June.
In June, Yuwen Moyuan went to Rong Ji's courtyard once because of a misunderstanding of Lan Jing'an. Although he left without even taking off his clothes, Rong Ji was still hated by the other women in the prince's mansion. She was embarrassed to say that the prince went to her bed in front of other women in the backyard, and left without even taking off her clothes, and she still pretended to be infinitely shy the next day.
And her appearance is just in the way of other people's eyes, and she inadvertently offended the crown princess. The crown princess Zhao Wanyao has always hated this bewitching-looking beautiful woman, and when she heard that the prince had not slept with a woman in the back garden for several months, but she singled out Rong Ji, the anger in her heart couldn't be suppressed. No matter how the maidservants around him persuaded her, she still found a reason and beat Rong Ji.
And Rong Ji just wanted to show off, she didn't want to offend the hostess in the backyard. If Rong Ji's glory is all tied to the crown prince alone, then her life can be held in the hands of the crown princess. She hurriedly explained that the prince didn't sleep with her at all that night, but just walked around and went back to the private garden behind.
She also told Zhao Wanyao the prince's sentence "You are not her" before leaving. It's a pity that Zhao Wanyao didn't believe it at all, so she still dragged her out to relieve her anger. Rong Ji gritted her teeth angrily, she didn't believe it, she couldn't find out who the vixen in the private garden was. When the time comes, she will lead the fox spirit to Zhao Wanyao to see if Zhao Wanyao is even more angry.
She even happily thought that it would be better for the crown princess to beat that vixen and kill her. Maybe the prince saw Zhao Wanyao's brutal appearance and abolished her in anger, so it could be regarded as revenge for his hatred of being snatched by the fox spirit and being beaten by Zhao Wanyao.
But it was not easy to get close to the private garden, and she wasted a lot of effort but did not succeed. After working hard for more than half a month, her maidservant Xiaohong and an old gardener in the Mulan Garden got on the line. The old gardener is okay with everything else, but he is lustful, but he married a Hedong lion, and his mother-in-law only needs to look at him and a woman's eyebrows, no matter how old the other party is, what the reason is, he will be beaten up.
The old gardener was miserable, but his job was introduced by the mother-in-law who was guarding the door in the courtyard of Mulan Garden in the middle of the night, and he couldn't afford to offend her, so he could only endure the Hedong lion silently. As a result, one day when he came home from Mulan Garden, he happened to bump into Xiaohong, who tried to probe, and Xiaohong didn't stand firmly, fell to the ground and sprained her foot.
Xiaohong originally wanted to scold this old thing who didn't have long eyes, but when she saw his waist card, she showed a look of resentment, and the old gardener who saw it suddenly softened her bones. Xiaohong, who is deeply rooted in Rong Ji's true biography, hooked the old gardener in a few words. Although the old gardener was afraid of his mother-in-law, the woman did the vigil, and he always tended to the flowers and trees during the day, which provided an excellent opportunity for the old gardener to cheat.
Rong Ji was born in the Qinglou when she was young, but because her appearance was too outstanding, the proprietress of the Qinglou was reluctant to give her ** and gave it to the magistrate as a gift. As a result, the magistrate also felt that such a posture was not something he could bear, and instead gave it to the prime minister as a big gift. Cheng had just formed an alliance with Yuwen Moyuan, and when he felt that he was young and most greedy for the beauty of flowers, he gave it to him again.
And Xiaohong, who is beside Rong Ji, has followed her since the Qinglou period. Xiaohong was not so lucky as a maidservant, she broke her body in the Qinglou early, and she has been absent in the Prince's Mansion for a long time in the past few years. originally thought that with Rong Ji's color, he would definitely be able to ascend to the sky in one step, and he would be able to get a piece of the pie. I didn't expect Yuwen Moyuan to be a person who doesn't love women, let alone her, even Rong Ji rarely touches it, and in the past year or so, she simply hasn't even come here for Rong Ji.
Although Xiaohong got together with the old gardener in order to find out the news, she didn't expect the two of them to have fun. After Xiaohong got acquainted with the old gardener, she slowly asked about his private garden. The old gardener loved this young lover so much that he confessed everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
When Xiaohong reported to Rong Ji one by one, Rong Ji angrily broke a long nail she had raised since she was a child: "Magnolia? Good, good, good little goblin! Not only did he hold the prince and didn't let him come to the backyard, but even the private garden was changed to Mulan Garden! It's shameless! What kind of lady should you be, I'm sorry, you are also worthy! It must be a flower sister who came out of the green building and didn't dare to live in the backyard! I'd like to see what that slut looks like! β
Rong Ji then asked Xiaohong to ask the old gardener for the waist card, saying that she wanted to go into the Magnolia Garden to have a look. Little Red took the order to find the old gardener. But this time the old gardener was so shocked that he did not dare to agree to her. Xiaohong took out her good skills of coquettishness and trickery, and asked the old gardener to hug her and shout her heart.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Sneaking into the Garden
The old gardener hesitated for a long time and finally spat out: "It's not impossible to enter the garden." It's just that there are two kinds of waist cards in this garden, one is only able to walk around in the garden, such as the one I wear. There is also a kind of walking in the inner courtyard, which is the kind on my mother-in-law. Moreover, the waist tags of men and women are of different colors, and each one is engraved with a position. If I give you my waist card, the guards will be able to see it at once, and I'm afraid that neither of us will have any good fruit to eat. β
Xiaohong didn't expect Mulan Garden to be so strictly controlled, for fear that outsiders would enter. Her curiosity also rose, what kind of person is this lady named Yulan, who can let the prince hold it in the palm of her hand like this? This is a treatment that the crown princess does not have. She said that she was going to get this waist card for Rong Ji. Xiaohong rolled her eyes and asked again: "Then is there any way to get your mother-in-law's waist card?" Don't worry, I just want to go in and open my eyes, I don't want to die. β
The old gardener was confused by Xiaohong's fandom, and he only wanted to help her get the waist card, which really made him think of a way. It turned out that the old gardener's mother-in-law was addicted to alcohol, although she never drank it because of the guarding, but once she drank it, she couldn't stop at all. As long as she gets drunk, won't she just get the waist card?
If this is the case, Xiaohong will have to enter the garden again after dark. However, it was dark and they couldn't see their physical appearance clearly, but it was easy to blend in, which was beneficial to their plan. The two of them muttered for a long time, and finally decided to steal the waist card of the florist's wife on July 26, and let Xiaohong enter the Magnolia Garden to freshen it.
July 26 is the birthday of the florist's mother-in-law, and on weekdays, the old gardener will add a dish to his mother-in-law to celebrate her birthday. But this time, the gardener made an exception to buy her favorite Jiujiu wine, and coaxed sweetly for a long time, but his mother-in-law was really drunk on the wine table, so that the old gardener successfully stole the waist card.
Xiaohong went to the old gardener's house in the dark to get the waist card, and promised him to send it back in a while, so that his mother-in-law would never find out, while the old gardener stayed at home in case his mother-in-law suddenly woke up. And Xiaohong took the waist card and ran back to the prince's mansion directly and sent it to Rong Ji.
Xiaohong helped Rong Ji change her clothes. Rong Ji dressed up as a gatekeeper, painted her face yellow, and gave herself some old age spots, but she couldn't see the stunning color before. Rong Ji finally practiced how the mother-in-law guarding the door spoke and walked under the guidance of Xiaohong, and then she had the courage to walk towards the Mulan Garden behind.
The guards of Mulan Garden saw that she was a woman, because it was dark, they just carefully checked the waist card, and it was not good to stare at her face for a long time, but they successfully let Rong Ji blend in. Xiaohong had already asked the old gardener to describe the route after entering the garden in detail, although it was easy to go the wrong way when it was dark, but Rong Ji still touched the courtyard where Lan Jing'an lived after several attempts.
When Rong Ji arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard Yuwen Moyuan shouting to Zhou Qi inside: "Zhou Qi, you go and find the imperial doctor, no matter where he is, let him come over to me immediately!" Su Mei, hurry up and bring warm water to Madame immediately! Then, she vaguely watched the courtyard door open, she quickly hid in the bushes on the side, and then saw a man hurrying away, probably Zhou Qi beside the prince.
Rong Ji glanced at the door through the bushes, and found that the yard was in chaos, boiling water, and a few dishes were going out from the main house, and no one looked at the door. She took advantage of this opportunity and dodged into the courtyard in one go. She pretended to be busy with her head half-bowed, but she didn't arouse the suspicion of others.
Rong Ji saw that there seemed to be dense shrubs planted under the main house, so she took advantage of the unpreparedness and quickly squeezed in, hiding between the bushes and the main house, and did not dare to move.
Yuwen Moyuan's concerned words floated over again: "Lan'er, how are you?" Don't scare me. Come, I'll feed you a sip of warm water. Lan Jing'an's somewhat weak voice followed: "I guess it's inappropriate to eat, it's still a little disgusting." It's not a big deal, though. Junzhu, don't worry. β
Rong Ji listened through gritted teeth as she imagined in her mind what the woman named Magnolia would look like. At the same time, I secretly cursed in my heart, yes, it's good to eat and vomit, the food in the prince's mansion is also something you can bear? She waited for a long time, listened to the affectionate words of the two people, and quietly tore the leaves on the bushes angrily.
Fortunately, the hurried arrival of Imperial Physician Wang finally interrupted the tiredness of these two people. Yuwen Moyuan hurriedly asked Imperial Physician Wang to diagnose Lan Jing'an's pulse and see what was happening. Doctor Wang made a consultation, touched his beard, and asked Lan Jing'an to stretch out his other hand and check it again. Doctor Wang was so cautious, but he had never been so cautious.
The palms of Yuwen Moyuan's hands were sweating, thinking that there was something wrong with Lan Jing'an, or that the blood stasis in the back of his head had changed. Yuwen Moyuan hurriedly asked Imperial Physician Wang with a straight face: "Imperial Physician Wang, how is Madam?" β
Imperial Physician Wang smiled and directly addressed Yuwen Moyuan: "Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness." Madame is not uncomfortable with food, but happy. According to the old man's diagnosis, it has been more than a month. β
Yuwen Moyuan was directly stunned in place, the joy on his face suddenly burst out, he laughed, and reached out to hug Lan Jing'an: "Lan'er, did you hear it?" We have children! I've got a queen! There's a back! β
Lan Jing'an saw that he hugged himself like this in front of many outsiders, and he was ashamed, so he quickly tried to push him away, but Yuwen Moyuan was still happy and carried away. When Yuwen Moyuan saw Lan Jing'an's blushing face and let go of his hand, Imperial Physician Wang, Zhou Qi and the others had already avoided the side, pretending to be discussing, and did not dare to glance at the two of them.
Yuwen Moyuan was so excited that he didn't know what to do, so he could only say to Zhou Qi: "Reward, today I want to reward everyone, everyone in this Mulan Garden has a reward." And the royal physician has the greatest credit, and I will reward him again tomorrow during the day. Zhou Qi took the order and left.
Although Lan Jing'an was also very happy, from the conversation between Imperial Physician Wang and Yuwen Moyuan, he heard a loophole, why would Imperial Physician Wang call His Royal Highness Jun Zhu? And Junzhu actually treated Wang Tai with the word reward? What is Junzhu's identity?
Yuwen Moyuan chattered and asked Su Mei Suju to write down all the points that Imperial Physician Wang said, and in the future, he would carefully serve Lan Jing'an, and asked Imperial Physician Wang to go back and transfer a few mothers-in-law who knew how to produce to come to Mulan Garden to accompany Lan Jing'an at any time.
Although Yuwen Moyuan knew that many things were best discussed behind Lan Jing'an's back, Lan Jing'an was now pregnant with his own flesh and blood, and he was completely his own person. He felt that sooner or later, he would have to let Lan Jing'an know his identity, and he didn't have to deliberately hide anything from her.
Everyone in the room was smiling, and Rong Jiqi's face outside the house had changed, and the bushes and leaves in her hand were about to be balded by her. That slut was actually pregnant with His Highness's child? Wouldn't it be even more arrogant in the future? Can His Highness still tolerate others in his eyes? But Rong Ji was helpless, so she could only hold back her anger and continue to listen.
------------
Chapter 59: Shocking News
Yuwen Moyuan asked Imperial Physician Wang to go down to guide Su Mei and the others on the issue of medicinal diet, while he closed the door and enjoyed the joy of this moment alone with Lan Jing'an.
Although Yuwen Moyuan is not a first-time father, he doesn't care about his previous concubine, he always feels that he has little to do with him, and he doesn't have much affection for the child's biological mother. And this child is what he has been looking forward to for a long time, looking at Lan Jing'an's soft face under the lamp, Yuwen Moyuan really feels that God is not thin on him. The two of them counted the days, and it happened to be the day when Yuwen Moyuan was drunk. Yuwen Moyuan didn't expect that he would be in the first place once, and he was even more proud.
In fact, Lan Jing'an has been very sleepy recently, and her own little days have been missed for more than ten days. It's just that every time she comes to Xiaori, she is generally reluctant to let Su Mei and the others know, so no one except herself and Yuwen Moyuan knows that her little day has long passed. And because Lan Jing'an had no experience in having a child for the first time, he ignored all kinds of signs.
Yuwen Moyuan, as the crown prince, in addition to having special feelings for Lan Jing'an, paid special attention to it, where did he know the hard work of a woman getting pregnant and giving birth to a child before. He also thought that it was because of the recent heat, so Lan Jing'an lost his appetite and was not in good spirits, so that he was not allowed to live a small day. The two confused parents dragged on like this for half a month, and to this day, it was not until Lan Jing'an vomited that he found out that he had a child.
In addition to being happy, Lan Jing'an also had a trace of confusion. Is it really going to be a mother? Do you want to investigate the secret of the white jade pendant? Is Junzhu's words credible? Who is the person who sleeps next to him day and night?
She didn't plan to mention the white jade pendant again for the time being, but she still decided to ask Junzhu's identity. Yuwen Moyuan didn't hide it from her this time, he also felt that it was time to let Lan Jing'an know his identity, otherwise when Emperor Wei died, how would he take her into the Jiaofang Palace? In his eyes, only Lan Jing'an was worthy of being his Yuwen Moyuan's wife.
Yuwen Moyuan first cautiously asked Lan Jing'an if he had an impression of the surname Yuwen. Lan Jing'an didn't dare to reminisce now, for fear of hurting the child, but he hurriedly passed his mind and shook his head.
Yuwen Moyuan breathed a sigh of relief and carried Lan Jing'an to the bed and let her pill on his lap. Gently talked about his life experience: "Dayong, where we are, has the surname Yuwen." My father has eight sons and five daughters, and I am the second son of Cui Guifei. The late queen had no children, so the father did not have a son-in-law. After hesitating for many years, my father finally appointed me as the crown prince in the spring of last year. And the day before the crown prince was the day we met for the first time. From the first sight, I was fascinated by you, and you are also my lucky star. β
"My real name is Yuwen Moyuan, and Junzhu is my little character. Except for my mother, who called me that way when I was young, there was no one in the world who could call me by that name until I met you. What I've told you before, it's true. My brothers are all eyeing the throne, and although I married the crown princess Liangdi and others, I have never given my sincerity. Now there are many rebels in Dayong, and I am indeed worried about the government every day, hoping to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. β
When Lan Jing'an heard this, his heart was already in turmoil. She didn't expect her Junzhu to be the prince of a country. The respect of everyone before, and the strange treasures he brought her, now have a reasonable explanation. However, since he is the crown prince, what is he himself? He has a crown princess, a group of concubines, and I'm afraid there are several children. Where should you be?
Yuwen Moyuan saw her stunned, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and continued, "Now my father is afraid that he will not be able to do it, and soon I will enter the Zhengxuan Hall and become the master of Dayong." And you, Lan'er, one day in the future, you will become my queen and accompany me to take over this great Yongjiang Mountain. As for our child, if it is a boy, I will let him inherit my position, and as soon as he lands, I will declare him the crown prince. But it doesn't matter if it's a girl, I will spoil her like I spoil you, and let her be the happiest and most noble princess of Dayong. β
Lan Jing'an smiled bitterly, no matter how much she forgot the past, she also knew that the queen was not so easy to be. How is his crown princess placed? How can the ministers agree? And the woman in his backyard, she didn't want to care.
Yuwen Moyuan seemed to see her distress, and hurriedly defended: "Lan'er, you believe me. Even if I can't make you the queen immediately, I will definitely fulfill what I promised you. The court is basically my world at the moment, except for my eldest brother who is still tossing, no one else will talk nonsense anymore. Even if the harem is divided, I only need you. Other women, give them a false name and let them toss away. The two of us live our lives behind closed doors, just like ordinary couples, okay? β
Lan Jing'an didn't know what to say, and the impact of this news on her was indeed not small. She didn't expect that this man, who slept in the same room with her every night, would be such a powerful person. If he is just the son of an official with a background, even if he doesn't go to other women, there is no big problem except for being blamed by outsiders. But if he were an emperor, everything would be different, and it would be his duty to get rain and dew evenly.
Lan Jing'an suddenly shed tears of grievance, and Yuwen Moyuan's heart was about to break when he saw it. He hurriedly picked her up and assured her over and over again that he would never ask for another woman when he met her in his life. Yuwen Moyuan coaxed her in the gentlest tone, asking her to think about whether she came back to accompany her every night after she was with her, and never went to sleep elsewhere.
Lan Jing'an knew that he was telling the truth now, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, and turned his face and refused to look at him. Yuwen Moyuan bowed down for a long time, and finally coaxed her to stop crying. Yuwen Moyuan hugged her in his arms, and even swore a poisonous oath: "I, Yuwen Moyuan, swear to the sky, only Lan'er is one in this life." If one day I fail you, I will not die a good death. β
Lan Jing'an couldn't bear to listen to him swear a poisonous oath, after all, he was the father of the child in her womb, and they now had a blood connection. She hurriedly blocked Yuwen Moyuan's mouth with her hand, and blamed him: "The poisonous oath was also issued indiscriminately? I believe you are. I don't care if you are a queen or not, but if you go to another woman one night, I, I, I will not let you enter my door again. β
It was the first time Yuwen Moyuan had seen Lan Jing'an jealous, and he couldn't be beautiful in his heart. Leaned over and pecked her lips gently, and felt that her breath was sweet, and couldn't help but kiss it deeply. When he finally suppressed his impulse, he raised his head and continued to say to Lan Jing'an: "Lan'er, I have to wronged you to continue to live in Mulan Garden recently. Now my father is seriously ill, and the previous dynasty is in turmoil. I'm afraid that if you let the ladies in the prince's mansion see you, it will be bad for you. But don't worry, I'll be here for you every night, as before. I can't sleep without holding you in bed. β
Lan Jing'an blushed and spat at him, and whispered, "Hooligans! She found that the closer she was to Junzhu, the more he showed his pestering side of his dead face. Yuwen Moyuan grinned and kissed her on the face again: "A husband is a hooligan, but I will only be a hooligan for Lan'er and you in my life." β

Chapter 60: Fanning the Flames
Yuwen Moyuan and the two of them were in the bedroom, and Rong Ji's lungs, who were hiding behind the bushes, were about to explode. This shameless woman actually made Her Highness swear a poisonous oath, as long as she was alone. Poisonous woman, simply poisonous woman! More vicious than the crown princess! even wanted to occupy the prince for the rest of his life.
I don't know what kind of ** soup the vixen poured into the prince, so that the prince didn't even care about humility, thinking about making her the queen, and even making the unformed piece of meat in her stomach a prince! Rong Ji really wanted to rush into the room like this, grab Lan Jing'an's hair, and scratch her face! But now that the prince was in her room, she didn't dare to move with Rong Ji's ten guts. Rong Ji honestly waited in the bushes for a while, and then heard the imperial physician tell him that if there was nothing to do, he would go back to the palace for the night first.
Yuwen Moyuan also wanted to ask Imperial Physician Wang if the bruise on the back of the head of Imperial Physician Lan Jing'an would affect the child, so he made an excuse and said that he was going to send Imperial Physician Wang, and he also went out. Lan Jing'an sent him to the door, and Yuwen Moyuan kissed her again, telling her to go and come back quickly, and then went out.
Waiting for Yuwen Moyuan to come out of the door, Lan Jing'an was still leaning against the door for a while. Compared with the joy of having children, she is now more confused. She doesn't know what she should do next, is she unconditionally believing in Junzhu and accompanying him to stay in the palace? Or do you want to find out the past and give yourself a truth? She slowly stroked her lower abdomen, it was still flat, she really couldn't believe that there was already a child living in it, a child belonging to her and Junzhu. What should she do with this child?
All this was seen by Rong Ji, who was hiding in the bushes, and she finally saw Magnolia's true face. But she had been living in the Prince's Mansion for a long time before, and she didn't know Lan Jing'an. Seeing her look like Er'er, her heart was even more unbalanced, blaming the prince for not choosing her as a pearl but picking Lan Jing'an's fish eye.
Rong Ji waited for Lan Jing'an to return to the room. Seeing that there was no one else in the yard, he crept out of the bushes, trotted all the way, and hid from the yard to the garden. No matter how sour Rong Ji was in her heart, she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Yuwen Moyuan, she wanted to discuss it with Xiaohong after she went back tonight.
The process of leaving the garden was even smoother than when she entered the garden, she walked around in the garden and saw the imperial physician Wang who was about to leave the palace, at this time the imperial physician Wang had finished talking with Yuwen Moyuan, and Zhou Qi was sending him out of the mansion. She stayed far behind the Imperial Physician, and when the Imperial Physician came out of the garden, she went over and told the guards that Madame had something to tell the Imperial Physician, so that she could chase after her quickly. The guard didn't suspect him, looked at the waist card and let her out.
Rong Ji trotted all the way and finally returned to the backyard of the Prince's Mansion smoothly. And Xiaohong took the waist card in the name of her family's acute illness, left the prince's mansion, and successfully sent the waist card to the old gardener, without arousing any suspicion. The old gardener's mother-in-law was still asleep at this time, and she didn't even know that Xiaohong and the old gardener were hugging in front of her. Fortunately, the old gardener was very afraid of the tigress at home on weekdays, but did not do anything unsightly, and the two hurriedly parted and agreed to reunite another day.
When the gardener's wife woke up and it was already past the hour, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, if she let the above know that she didn't go to guard the yard on time, I am afraid that her life will be explained. She couldn't help but beat the old gardener again, and then hurried to the Magnolia Garden. Who would have thought that today's lady found out that she was pregnant, the prince was overjoyed, and the steward above would naturally not touch the prince's head at such a time. In addition to reprimanding the florist's mother-in-law, he didn't really do anything to her.
On the way back from the garden, Yuwen Moyuan thought carefully about the words of Imperial Physician Wang along the way. He said that the blood stasis in the back of Lan Jing'an's brain is quite stable, and it should be okay during pregnancy. But as for what will happen when it comes to production, since he has never encountered such a situation, he does not know. Yuwen Moyuan was afraid that after telling Lan Jing'an the truth, she would cut herself off, and she was also afraid that Lan Jing'an would be in danger when she gave birth. My heart is also happy and sad.
At this time, in the distant Surabaya, Xiao Qingyun was thinking about his Ahri on the boat. It's been almost a year, and even Bai Qingfeng has advised him not to have any hope. But he still didn't want to believe that his Ahri was no longer there, no matter how hard the battle was, he still asked Qiu Shaoze to continue to search near the Yongjiang River, and he even sent Wu Weiye out after the Battle of Guangling to take people to look for clues near Yonghua City.
Xiao Qingyun desperately attacked the city, on the one hand, with the help of the busy war, he didn't want to think about Ahri all the time. On the one hand, I also hope that one day I can travel all over the land of Kyushu and see her again.
And Rong Ji in the Prince's Mansion was only full of jealousy and hatred for Lan Jing'an. She wanted to report to the crown princess immediately and watch them have a dog-eat-dog show. But thinking that the crown princess didn't trust herself last time, how could she make the princess believe in the matter of Mulan Garden and make a big fuss? And she has to work hard to clean herself up and make herself the one who has the last laugh. It was also a sleepless night for Yung Ji.
Rong Ji pondered for many days without being able to follow the rules, until she heard that the crown princess was going to hold a banquet on the ninth day of August and invited the ladies of the imperial capital to attend, in order to get some connections for the prince at the last moment, but it seemed that the prince did not know about this banquet. As soon as Rong Ji heard it, she knew that her opportunity had come, if there was a fight between the princess and the prince's private pet that day, she would like to see if the two of them still had face in front of the prince.
The ninth day of August is fast approaching. With Rong Ji's identity, it was not her turn to meet any guests at all. She deliberately got up early in the morning and went to greet the crown princess with a bottle of wood hibiscus. It happened that the princess's sister Zhao Wanzhu was also in the hall.
The crown princess has always disliked Rong Ji, and originally wanted to send her away directly, but the Mu Hibiscus she sent attracted the attention of the crown princess. This bottle of wood hibiscus is different from the usual single-petal white, it is actually double-petaled, and it is pink and white, which is very good-looking.
The crown princess usually always claims to be a person who cherishes flowers, and she likes flowers and trees the most. Rong Ji's bottle of wood hibiscus was sent to her heart. Zhao Wanzhu was also attracted by this bottle of wood hibiscus and asked Rong Ji where she got it. Rong Ji smiled flatteringly and said, "This is the maid of the concubine." The concubine also thought it was good-looking, so she specially dedicated it to the crown princess. β
Zhao Wanyao was a little strange: "Your handmaiden is not small, how can you get such a precious wood hibiscus?" It's not ordinary, is it? I've been out so much, and I've never seen this kind of pink and white double-petaled. β
Rong Ji directly asked Xiaohong to come up and answer. Xiaohong knelt on the ground and said in a formal manner: "Hui Niangniang, this bottle of wood hibiscus was specially asked for by my cousin when I heard that Master Rong wanted to give her a heart to Niangniang." The maid's cousin is a gardener, and he works as an errand boy in the private garden behind our prince's mansion. β
Zhao Wanyao was even more surprised: "Why is this flower still from our prince's mansion?" How I don't know. Where is your cousin? I'd like to see it. Rong Ji saw that the crown princess had taken the bait, and stood aside honestly, just waiting to watch the show.
Xiaohong hurriedly replied: "The maid's cousin does not live in our prince's mansion, but on the street outside the private garden behind. Thanks to the mother's promotion, if the mother doesn't dislike it, the maid will call the cousin over to kowtow to the mother. Zhao Wanyao looked at the missing moment, there was still a little time before the arrival of the guests, and she was idle anyway, so she asked Xiaohong to send the florist over, she wanted to hear how this wood hibiscus was grown.

Chapter 61: Forced Entry
Rong Ji is here with the crown princess, she has long been charming, taking out her ability to slap horses, and constantly praising the princess and sisters for dressing up noble and beautiful today, just like coming out of a painting, coaxing the princess and Zhao Wanzhu's hearts are full of joy.
The old gardener, who had been bought by Xiaohong a long time ago, had gotten the news before, and was waiting for Xiaohong in the aisle of the prince's mansion and the private garden. Rong Ji even met him in person a few days ago, and carefully instructed the crown princess how to behave, how to respond, and at the same time promised to tempt him with a lot of money. The lustful old gardener saw Rong Ji's amorous appearance, and he had long let Rong Ji say what it was. What's more, there is Xiaohong's affection, the temptation of money, how can it not be allowed?
When Xiaohong took him to the crown princess, he knelt down to the princess with a plop and kowtowed to the princess according to the previous drill. Zhao Wanyao asked him to raise his head and asked him how he cultivated this double-petaled wood hibiscus.
As soon as the old gardener raised his head, his face turned red, and he muttered: "The crown princess is really better looking than the lady in the magnolia garden, she is simply a fairy." Then as if realizing that he had lost his temper, he hurriedly lowered his head again, and replied in a regular manner: "This flower seedling was brought back from Jiaozhou by the prince in the autumn of last year." This flower is afraid of the cold. The imperial capital is cold in winter, so it should be moved to a basin and kept warm indoors. Wait until the spring sprouts, then move to a fully light place and plant it in the ground, and wait until the summer to water enough every day to produce this large flower. As long as the flower breaks its branches in the spring and is planted in the ground, it can produce new branches. β
Then the old gardener explained the wonder of the flower: "The flower is now white with a hint of pink, and in a few hours it will be completely dark pink." In the evening, the flowers turn crimson. Madame also gave the flower a nice name, called the three drunken hibiscus. It's like a beautiful woman getting drunk. β
The crown princess was a little confused when she heard him mention what kind of lady. In this prince's mansion, who dares to call himself a lady besides himself? She asked the gardener directly, "Who is the lady in your mouth?" The old gardener seemed to have slipped out, and was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to say a word.
When Zhao Wanyao saw this, she felt even more strange, and changed her face to a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid." I just listened to you well. Feel free to talk to you. What kind of place are you talking about? β
The old gardener listened to her no longer asking about her wife, and replied with a sigh of relief: "It's the garden behind the prince's mansion." The name given by the prince last year is called Magnolia Garden. β
Zhao Wanyao frowned, when did the prince name the private garden, why didn't she know? She asked again, "Is there a lady living in the Mulan Garden?" What's her name? β
The old gardener also seemed to let go of his hands and feet: "Together with the crown princess, you already know where the lady lives?" I heard that his wife's name is Magnolia, and the prince is very kind to her. It seems that this flower was also because my wife liked it at a glance last year, so I planted branches in many places in the garden this spring. β
Zhao Wanyao felt her anger rising up. Yulan? Magnolia Garden? Madam? Okay, you Yuwen Moyuan, when did you find a goblin, and even lied to yourself that it was because you were busy with political affairs that you stayed in the private garden all night, but I didn't expect it to be to mess with the goblin. She was so angry that she didn't think about how an old man who tended to flowers and plants could get the name of his wife.
And Zhao Wanzhu was so angry that she patted the table and stood up: "Sister, can you bear this?!" The old gardener seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, and he looked timid, and kept shouting for his mother to spare his life. The crown princess didn't have time to deal with him anymore, so she asked her maid to reward him with some money, and sent him away.
Although Zhao Wanyao was angry in her heart, she still wanted to wait for Yuwen Moyuan to come back and confront her again. She didn't believe that the prince would be so ruthless, and he would call himself husband and wife in the private garden behind his back. At this time, Rong Ji began to add fuel to the fire again, recalling the fact that the prince had entered her room for a short time and left again, and made a look of sudden realization.
Zhao Wanzhu's temper is much more irritable than Zhao Wanyao. After falling into the water last time, the entire Zhao Guogong Mansion held her in the palm of her hand, and she became more and more arrogant. She pulled Zhao Wanyao up: "Sister, is it tolerable or unbearable." This vixen actually seduced the prince under your nose, and if you don't teach her a lesson, you really think that there is no one in our Zhao Guogong Mansion! β
Zhao Wanyao was already angry, which made Zhao Wanzhu and Rong Ji even more angry. also took up the demeanor of the crown princess, and said to the people around him with a calm face: "Let's go, I want to see what kind of person this Yulan is!" β
Zhao Wanzhu unceremoniously brought all the people she brought from Zhao Guogong's mansion. Although Rong Ji wanted to go with her to see the excitement, she was afraid that she would be punished by Yuwen Moyuan when the time came, so she walked halfway, only to stumble, and went back to her residence first, but she asked Xiaohong to follow her to find out the news.
Zhao Wanyao was already so angry at this time that she even forgot that she had asked the wives of the family to win over the prince today. There was only one thought in her heart, she wanted to see who lived in this magnolia garden, why did the prince value her more than herself?!
Zhao Wanzhu also complained about her sister, but she didn't expect the prince to be such a person. After she fell into the water last time, she lingered on the sickbed for a long time, but she still felt much better when she heard that Wan Ping's fiancΓ©'s family was killed, and Wan Ping herself became a rebel. Later, Zhao Wanyao begged the prince again and asked the imperial doctor to treat Zhao Wanzhu, so that she could slowly recuperate. Now she is not only in better health, but her temper is better than before.
The two sisters of the crown princess soon arrived at the gate of the Magnolia Garden behind the prince's mansion. The sergeant on guard did not have the prince's order, but he did not dare to let the princess into the garden, so he quickly sent someone to the palace to deliver a letter to the prince. But they didn't dare to offend the crown princess, and the two sides were at a stalemate at the door. The crown princess thought that this private garden had changed its name for that magnolia, and she felt even more heartbroken, and she had to enter the garden for the first time.
Zhao Wanzhu was the most direct, and with the people of Zhao Guogong's Mansion, she went up with the guards. Although the guards have the order not to allow those without tokens to enter the garden, who really dares to touch a single hair of Zhao Wanyao's sisters, they can only stop the servants in the Prince's Mansion and Zhao Guogong's Mansion.
In this way, the crown princess took Zhao Wanzhu and others to step into the Mulan Garden for the first time. Zhao Wanyao looked at the various rare and exotic grasses in the magnolia garden, the tall magnolia tree, and felt that her heart was about to break. It's ridiculous that he is still bothering to win over the prince, but he is here to carefully arrange this big garden for others, and even the name has been changed to that slut.
Zhao Wanyao hurried all the way, but whenever she saw a servant, she asked the handmaid who knew how to punch and kick brought by Zhao Guogong's mansion to beat her first, then gagged and tied to the side. Xiaohong led the way for the princess intentionally or unintentionally. She had already asked the old gardener to inquire from his mother-in-law, and after the prince went to court, this lady's favorite place to go was the two-story love bell tower. She didn't believe she couldn't be caught there today.
------------
Chapter 62: The Enemy Meets
When Zhao Wanyao arrived near the Love Bell Tower, when she saw the maidservants dressed nearby, she guessed that the magnolia was probably in the building, and rushed over in a few steps. And Su Mei Suju was surprised to see the crown princess coming, although the two of them had never seen the crown princess, but they also guessed who she was by dressing and Zhao Wanyao's angry appearance now.
Su Mei and Su Ju didn't dare to let Zhao Wanyao and the two sisters go over, the two of them knew Yulan's true identity, if Zhao Wanyao or Zhao Wanzhu, who were both nobles of the imperial capital before, saw Lan Jing'an, wouldn't they all be exposed? And now Lan Jing'an is pregnant, the prince holds her on the top of his heart day and night, if she makes any mistakes, the lives of the people in this garden can't afford to lose.
Su Mei hurriedly asked Su Ju to go up and report to Lan Jing'an, while stopping Zhao Wanyao stubbornly. Without waiting for Su Ju to get away, Zhao Wanzhu took out the whip from her waist, directly whipped Su Ju to the ground, turned around and whipped Su Mei again. Su Mei Suju has never practiced martial arts, although she is desperately in the way, but she is not Zhao Wanzhu's opponent at all. Zhao Wanzhu vented her anger against Lan Jing'an and the crown prince on Su Mei Suju, and whipped the two of them desperately.
And Zhao Wanyao saw the plaque of the love bell tower written by Yuwen Moyuan himself, and she was even more angry. Love Bell Tower? What a love! If she doesn't punish the slut who occupies His Highness today, she won't be surnamed Zhao! She took the lead into the Love Bell Tower.
And Lan Jing'an, who was on the Love Bell Tower, also heard the movement. She had been studying a white jade pendant in the shape of a fox on the couch before. After Yuwen Moyuan became crazy about the white jade pendant last time, she thought about it and hid the pendant in the chess box in the love bell tower. She was extra careful now, and only when Yuwen Moyuan was in the court, would she turn out the white jade pendant to study.
The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, no matter what Yuwen Moyuan thought, she would never have guessed that she would be bold enough to hide the white jade pendant in the chess box that the two of them often use. Yuwen Moyuan used white seeds every time, and she hid the white jade pendant in the box of black seeds. And she no longer played against Yuwen Moyuan in the Love Bell Tower, and sure enough, after nearly two months, he didn't find the existence of the white jade pendant again.
Lan Jing'an heard the noise downstairs, and first hid the white jade pendant, and then got up, planning to go downstairs to see what was going on. When she arrived at the staircase, Zhao Wanyao had already brought someone to kill her, and she happened to be blocked there. Su Mei Suju in the back was tearing on the first floor with Zhao Wanzhu and the maidservants brought by the princess sisters, despite being covered with injuries.
Although Lan Jing'an didn't know Zhao Wanyao, looking at her angry appearance, she also knew that she was coming at herself. The first reaction was to carefully protect the abdomen.
Zhao Wanyao grabbed the stairs and saw Lan Jing'an standing at the top of the stairs. The jealousy in her heart instantly turned into fear, she pointed at Lan Jing'an, and her voice trembled: "Bai Yiyan! How are you?! β
Lan Jing'an was also stunned for a moment. Bai Yiyi? The name is so familiar. Is it your name? Suddenly, more names began to flash in my mind, Dingyuan Hou, Bai Yuguan, Mother, Daddy, and Brother Qingyun! She felt her head ache sharply again, her face turned white, and sweat began to flow from her sideburns.
And Zhao Wanyao was even more shocked, she never thought that the woman who was hiding in the prince's golden house turned out to be Bai Yiyan, no, now it should be called Lan Jing'an. She remembered that she was the woman she saved at the Racecourse Prince last year, and the portrait in the Prince's study was also her. Zhao Wanyao finally knew that from the day this woman appeared, the prince had been in his heart from beginning to end!
Zhao Wanyao's tears were about to come out, and her heart was broken. If it were another woman, she wouldn't be afraid, but Lan Jing'an, she really didn't know if she could beat her. Zhao Wanyao heard about Lan Jing'an's fall into the water, the prince dared to risk the world's disapproval, and hid this person named by Emperor Wei to be killed here for nearly a year, sharing the bed with her every night, and never wishing to be lucky to other women in the prince's mansion, you can imagine how much the prince loves her.
Zhao Wanyao stared at Lan Jing'an tightly, she was wearing good clothes, which were more luxurious than those on her as the crown princess. Her young face was delicate and elegant, but her face was very pale, could it be that she was afraid of herself? Zhao Wanyao's gaze moved to Lan Jing'an's hand tightly protecting her lower abdomen, and suddenly realized, could it be that this slut was pregnant with the prince's flesh and blood? Zhao Wanyao asked Lan Jing'an in a hoarse voice: "Do you have a child?" β
Lan Jing'an was pulled back to reality by her words, the memories stopped, and her headache felt a little better. She looked at Zhao Wanyao vigilantly, looked at her outfit, and pondered for a moment. Asked rhetorically: "Are you the crown princess?" Did you know me before? β
Zhao Wanyao looked at her coquettishness, and became even more angry: "I am the crown princess." You, a shameless woman, seduced the prince in the first place. After committing the capital crime of exterminating the nine clans, he dared to hide here, and the prince who led him stayed here all night! See if I don't kill you! Saying that, he didn't look noble, like a market shrew, he reached out and pulled Lan Jing'an's hair, and hit Lan Jing'an at the same time.
Su Mei Suju had no choice at this time, so she could only use the prince to try to deter Zhao Wanyao. The two people shouted anxiously: "Stop the princess!" Madame is now pregnant with the crown prince dragon heir, and the prince has said that if anyone dares to touch Madame, he will never let this person go. Please also ask the crown princess to think about the consequences! β
The words of the two confirmed that Lan Jing'an was pregnant, which made Zhao Wanyao even more angry. But she also knows Yuwen Moyuan's temper very well, it seems that he really put Lan Jing'an at the top of his heart, if he dares to touch her, it is estimated that the prince will hate him for the rest of his life.
Taking advantage of Zhao Wanyao's stunned efforts, Lan Jingan tried to snatch it from her side and quickly ran downstairs. The second floor of the Love Bell Tower is only so big, if Zhao Wanyao goes crazy and does something with her here, she has nowhere to hide, if she can return to the garden, at least she can try to run out for help.
Zhao Wanyao saw Lan Jing'an trying to run and grabbed her. The two men switched directions at the top of the staircase, but they remained deadlocked. Zhao Wanyao looked at Lan Jing'an angrily, but did not make any further moves. Lan Jing'an tried to break her hand, but Zhao Wanyao refused to let go.
The two confronted each other at the staircase for a long time, Lan Jing'an saw that Zhao Wanyao refused to let go of herself, but after listening to Su Mei Suju's words, she didn't act rashly. Thinking in his heart, it is estimated that the name of the prince can suppress this crazy woman at present.
Lan Jing'an stood still, although she was still protecting her abdomen, she raised her head arrogantly, stared straight at Zhao Wanyao, and opened her mouth coolly: "Since the crown princess knows who I am, she should know that His Royal Highness the crown prince loves me." If you let me go now and go back to the Prince's Mansion by yourself, I can act as if nothing happened. But if you dare to touch me, when the prince goes down to court, he will avenge me! Think for yourself what the consequences will be! I advise the crown princess that you still think about your identity, don't try to be happy for a while, and do things that you will regret for the rest of your life. β
If this was Zhao Wanyao on weekdays, thinking of the prince's love for Lan Jing'an, she would definitely let go first, and then slowly think about dealing with her. But now her heart is full of jealousy and hatred for Lan Jing'an, her hatred is even stronger than Rong Ji's hatred, and she doesn't want to care about anything anymore.
------------
Chapter 63: Poisoning
Zhao Wanyao stared at Lan Jing'an's belly, and her fire-breathing gaze seemed to burn a hole there. She doesn't have children yet, and she doesn't know if she'll be able to have another one in the future. And the prince didn't even look at the other concubines, and now, this slut is pregnant with the prince's dragon seed. She didn't have to think about it to know that if this child was born, it would only make this slut even more favored. If it is a boy, it is possible to inherit the throne in the future!
Zhao Wanyao looked at Lan Jing'an's cold face, and the evil fire suddenly couldn't be suppressed. Okay, Lan Jing'an, let's take a gamble and see if my long-term friendship with the prince is heavier, or if a disgraceful woman like you is heavier! Zhao Wanyao smiled viciously and let go. Before Lan Jing'an could let go of this breath, Zhao Wanyao suddenly pushed forward with both hands, directly pushing Lan Jing'an down the stairs!
With Lan Jing'an's exclamation, her body quickly fell backwards, rolling all the way down and falling down, until she hit the wall on the first floor before stopping, falling to the ground motionless. This sudden change made everyone stunned, even Zhao Wanzhu was so frightened that she didn't remember to beat Su Mei Suju again, and the Love Bell Tower fell into a strange silence. No one could have thought that the crown princess was really bold enough to personally push Lan Jing'an downstairs, and she actually wanted Lan Jing'an's life in front of everyone!
Su Mei Suju was stunned for a while, then suddenly reacted, crying and pounced on Lan Jing'an, both of them knew that something really happened now. Lan Jing'an was already unconscious, and there was still a trace of blood running down the corner of her right eyebrow. Su Mei carefully held Lan Jing'an in her arms and shivered to probe her snort. The snort is weak, but the person should still be alive. But then Su Ju's scream made Su Mei desperate. Su Ju trembled, pointed to Lan Jing'an's lower body, and shouted with chattering teeth: "Blood!" Blood! β
At this time, Zhao Wanyao's reason also began to slowly return, she didn't expect that she really pushed the slut downstairs with her own hands. Is she dead? Will His Highness allow herself to pay for her life? Zhao Wanyao only began to feel scared at this time.
Zhao Wanyao quickly went downstairs and looked around, except for her own people, there were only Lan Jing'an and Su Mei Suju. As long as he finds a way to block Su Mei Suju's mouth, and when His Royal Highness comes down, he will say that Lan Jing'an did not stand firm and fell down. Even if His Royal Highness is punished, he can't do anything with her, not to mention that she still has the support of the Zhao State Mansion.
Just when a few people were stupid there, the voice of the guards suddenly sounded in the distance: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." β
When Yuwen Moyuan was still in the early dynasty, the guards of Mulan Garden hurried to the palace and brought the news that the crown princess had led people to break into Mulan Garden to Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi was shocked, and he couldn't care about the rules of the palace, so he broke into the palace directly, and rushed to the Zhengxuan Hall to report to Yuwen Moyuan.
Yuwen Moyuan was anxious, said a word of dispersion, turned around and ran out of the hall. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he took the horse and drove to the Mulan Garden. Fortunately, the Prince's Mansion was not far from the palace, and he prayed in his heart, hoping that when he arrived, Zhao Wanyao's stupid woman had not seen Lan Jing'an, and he could intercept her smoothly.
When he rushed to the Mulan Garden like crazy, he didn't have time to pay attention to the maidservants in the garden who were kidnapped by the princess. Quickly run all the way to the Love Bell Tower. Before he reached the Love Bell Tower, he had already heard Su Ju's scream, and he knew that it was not good, and his feet were faster.
When Yuwen Moyuan rushed into the Love Bell Tower, he saw Lan Jing'an who fell in Su Mei's arms at first glance, and he felt that his heartbeat stopped suddenly. He rushed over with an arrow and hurriedly investigated Lan Jing'an's condition. Su Mei trembled and said that Madame was still alive, but she really didn't dare to say anything more about the blood that flowed from under Lan Jing'an's body.
Yuwen Moyuan's face couldn't be darker, he quickly got up and slapped Zhao Wanyao's face hard. Yuwen Moyuan, who has never beaten women, is really unbearable this time. His eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to eat Zhao Wanyao: "If Lan'er has three long and two short, Lone will have to pay for your life!" β
Then Yuwen Moyuan no longer glanced at Zhao Wanyao, and called Zhou Qi in: "You go and get Imperial Doctor Wang over immediately, go now!" Go and arrest all the people in this house again, except for the Zhao family, the others are dragged out and killed! β
For a while, there was a cry and pleading in the love bell tower, but Yuwen Moyuan turned a deaf ear, just carefully picked up Lan Jing'an and hurried to the yard. Su Mei Suju followed closely despite her injuries.
When Yuwen Moyuan carefully put Lan Jing'an on the bed, he saw his hands full of blood. He turned his head and saw the blood on Su Mei's hands again, and his heart seemed to be frozen in ice. He looked at Lan Jing'an's lower body with a shudder, and on the light-colored curved skirt, a pool of dark red blood sparkled there, stinging his eyes.
Lan Jing'an's eyebrow bone also flowed more blood, and the right half of his face was covered with blood, reflecting the pale left side of his face, showing what terrible things the owner of the body had endured. He shouted again and ordered someone to go and find the imperial physician quickly, and at the same time ordered the medical woman who had prepared because Lan Jing'an was pregnant to come over quickly.
Under the doctor's begging, Yuwen Moyuan finally got out of the bedroom and waited in the main hall restlessly. The three doctors knew that Lan Jing'an's situation was not good as soon as they saw it, but the three of them only had experience in such things as women giving birth, and they were helpless in other aspects.
The doctors and women all felt that they were afraid that their lives would be lost this time, so they tried their best to stop the bleeding for Lan Jing'an, but the blood in her lower body still gushed out like a torrent. The three of them could only clean up Lan Jing'an's body over and over again. At the same time, he wiped the blood on his head and carefully wound it.
But at the same time, blood foamed from Lan Jing'an's lips, and it seemed to be gushing more and more. The doctors didn't know what was going on, but they knew it was a crisis. One of the doctors suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Lan Jing'an's right side, and when she reached out to touch it, she felt that one of her ribs seemed to be broken.
The doctor sat down in fright, and hurriedly told the other two about her discovery. The three of them were shocked into a cold sweat, could it be that Lan Jing'an broke his ribs and injured his organs? That's really the Daluo Immortals are difficult to save.
Yuwen Moyuan was shocked when he saw the basin of blood and water coming out of the bedroom, but after listening to the doctor's trembling report that Lan Jing'an might have broken his ribs and injured his organs, a panic and despair that he had never felt before spread in Yuwen Moyuan's heart.
Yuwen Moyuan didn't know what would happen to him if he really lost Lan'er. He worked so hard to get her, won her heart, and lived a happy life with her like an ordinary couple, and she and his child had not yet had time to be born. For the first time, he felt so helpless, he couldn't bear the pain of losing Lan'er.
Yuwen Moyuan suddenly rushed back to the bedroom, Lan Jing'an was lying on the bed lifelessly, her face had changed from pale to pale, only the blood foam on her lips was glowing with a strange red. Yuwen Moyuan trembled and held her hand, and it was cold in her hand, as if it was cold ice in winter, and the blood on her hands had long since faded. Yuwen Moyuan looked at Lan Jing'an tightly, only hoping that Imperial Physician Wang would come over quickly and save her life.
------------
Chapter 64: The Divine Doctor Comes Out
When Imperial Physician Wang arrived in a hurry, he saw Yuwen Moyuan as if he was petrified at first sight, looking at Lan Jing'an who was unconscious on the bed with a painful expression. After listening to the doctor's report, Imperial Physician Wang didn't care about any etiquette, so he asked Yuwen Moyuan to get up quickly, gave him a place, hurriedly gave Lan Jing'an a pulse, and leaned over to check her situation carefully.
Yuwen Moyuan asked nervously and dryly, "How is Madame?" At the same time, he stared straight at the Imperial Physician, for fear of spitting out a word from his mouth that he could not accept. But Imperial Physician Wang was destined to disappoint him. Imperial Physician Wang wailed in his heart, but he still closed his eyes and said boldly, "The situation is not good. The child can't be saved, and Madame is afraid that too..."
Yuwen Moyuan's voice changed: "What nonsense are you talking about!" The last time she fell into the water was so difficult, didn't you save her all? She's still angry, why don't you treat her properly?! Believe it or not, Lone will order someone to cut off your head right now! β
Imperial Physician Wang also knew the importance of Lan Jing'an to Yuwen Moyuan, but the current situation was really tricky, and he was helpless. Lan Jing'an's eyebrow bone and other external injuries on her body were not tight, but her miscarriage caused by rolling down was already very difficult, and now her rib was broken again, and she also injured her organs, how could he save it?
But if Lan Jing'an couldn't be saved, Imperial Physician Wang didn't know if Yuwen Moyuan would really take his life in anger. In desperation, Imperial Physician Wang thought of his junior brother, and it seemed that he would eventually bow to him in his life.
Imperial Physician Wang gritted his teeth and said to Yuwen Moyuan: "Please also ask the prince to give the minister another chance, the minister's junior brother is more skilled than the minister's medical skills, maybe the two of us can work together to save the lady." However, the minister's junior brother had sworn that he would never heal anyone in the Dayong royal family, so after the arrival of the minister's junior brother, he also asked the prince to spare him for the crime of disrespect. Moreover, the minister's junior brother has an arrogant personality, and the minister has to invite him to come in person. β
When Yuwen Moyuan heard that there might be a glimmer of hope, he couldn't care about anything, and immediately agreed to Imperial Doctor Wang. Send with him to invite his brother and brother to come over. Imperial Physician Wang first used a silver needle to stop Lan Jing'an's bleeding, temporarily stabilized the situation, and then took the best century-old ginseng in the prince's mansion and cut it into slices to let Lan Jing'an continue his life. At the same time, he ordered the doctors to boil the remaining half of the ginseng into ginseng soup, and poured some bamboo pipes into Lan Jing'an every once in a while. Then he let people enter the palace and passed on the imperial doctor who was good at gynecology.
Imperial Physician Wang wiped his sweat, and regardless of anything else, he quickly asked people to drive him to Mucang Hutong. He kept praying in the car, hoping that his junior brother would take a shot for the sake of his years of care, and never refuse him. When he arrived at Mucang Hutong, he asked the others to wait outside, entered the Hutong alone, and knocked on the door of the fifth house.
Jiang Xianlin, who opened the door, didn't expect that it was his senior brother who came to the door, although the two had a disagreement before, but after all, the senior brother had been a senior brother for many years, and he had also helped him. This is the first time that the senior brother has taken the initiative to come to the door, and Jiang Xianlin is not easy to rely on him. He still politely let Imperial Doctor Wang enter the door.
As soon as Imperial Physician Wang entered the door, he begged Jiang Xianlin bitterly, hoping that he could go with him and save a very important person. Jiang Xianlin didn't expect that he was once arrogant, and he would never want to admit that his senior brother whose medical skills were inferior to him would take the initiative to ask for it, this was the first time in decades.
It turned out that although Imperial Physician Wang and Jiang Xianlin were from different countries, they had studied under the same person, but Imperial Physician Wang was much older than Jiang Xianlin, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xianlin Huigen was rare, and soon won a more famous reputation than him, which made Imperial Physician Wang jealous and unconvinced. After the two of them completed their studies, they each returned to their own countries, and Jiang Xianlin also took a step ahead of him and became the head of the Tai Hospital in Qianguo, which made Wang Taiyi feel even more uncomfortable.
Later, Jiangling City was broken and the Qianguo was destroyed, although Jiang Xianlin took his son to barely save his life, but he had nowhere to go, so he went all the way north, trying to go to Yonghua City to continue to find a doctor's livelihood. But the medical hall in Yonghua City also has a background, how can it take in a remnant of the Qianguo. In the end, Jiang Xianlin couldn't and found his senior brother Wang Taiyi.
Imperial Physician Wang didn't like Jiang Xianlin anymore, thinking about the brotherhood between the two for many years, he was still moved by compassion. I found a way to get his identity and arrange a place to live. Although out of selfishness, Imperial Physician Wang did not allow Jiang Xianlin to see a doctor in Yonghua City, but he contacted Jiang Xianlin for a business of purchasing medicinal materials and contributed capital for him, which allowed Jiang Xianlin to slowly gain a foothold in Yonghua City.
Jiang Xianlin kept his promise to Imperial Physician Wang, and never practiced medicine in Yonghua City again, and started a low-key medicinal herb business. Over the years, although the two brothers knew each other's existence in Yonghua City, they rarely intersected, and even though both sides had each other's addresses, the two temperamental people refused to visit each other.
In fact, Imperial Physician Wang once went to Jiang Xianlin's medicinal herb shop a few months before the death of the Empress Dowager Xiaoren, hoping that he could instruct him on how to treat the Empress Dowager Xiaoren, in exchange for the promotion of his status in the Imperial Hospital. As a result, Jiang Xianlin not only sternly rejected him, but also swore a heavy oath in front of the imperial physician that he would never heal anyone in the Dayong royal family in his life. was so angry that Imperial Physician Wang brushed his sleeves away at that time.
Jiang Xianlin didn't expect that after many years, Imperial Physician Wang would beg him to save people in person. He knew that his senior brother was now the head of Dayong's Tai Hospital, and the person who could make him plead like this must be an important person in the royal family. Jiang Xianlin thought about his many years of national hatred and family hatred, although he had the heart to help him, he still refused bluntly.
Imperial Physician Wang knew where Jiang Xianlin's heart knots were, and hurriedly explained: "The person to be saved this time is not any person with a title in the royal family, just an ordinary woman, and she has never been on the jade, junior brother, you can rest assured." Jiang Xianlin heard his promise, not to mention repaying his senior brother, just saying that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and he can't see death without saving, so he followed the imperial doctor to the carriage of the prince's mansion.
In the carriage, Imperial Physician Wang talked about the general process of Lan Jing'an's accident, as well as the current situation and his own response. Hearing this, Jiang Xianlin frowned, this situation is indeed auspicious and dangerous. He planned to wait until he saw the patient, take a good look and then discuss the next step of treatment with Doctor Wang.
After getting out of the carriage, although Jiang Xianlin didn't know Mulan Garden, on the plaque at the door of the mansion separated by a road, the words "Prince's Mansion" still pierced his nerves, and he turned around to leave. The imperial physician hurriedly begged and begged, and once again assured that this lady did not have any title, could not be regarded as a member of the royal family, and as a doctor, she should have a benevolent heart, how could she see the patient close at hand and not save her?
Jiang Xianlin said to Imperial Physician Wang with a calm face: "Just this time, I will repay you for your care for many years, and don't let me see any royal family in the future, whether I have a title or not." Seeing that he agreed, Doctor Wang didn't care how cold his attitude was, and pulled him to trot all the way to the courtyard of Mulan Garden.
------------
Chapter 65: Joining Forces to Rescue
Yuwen Moyuan was waiting restlessly, when he saw Imperial Physician Wang pulling a person in, he waved his hand and asked them to directly diagnose and treat Lan Jing'an. Although Jiang Xianlin didn't know Yuwen Moyuan, he guessed his identity as soon as he saw what he was wearing. With a look of disgust, he said to Yuwen Moyuan: "The old man is diagnosing the disease, and he doesn't like others to be present, why don't you go out quickly?" β
Although Yuwen Moyuan was annoyed by his attitude, for the sake of Lan Jing'an, he could endure anything, and silently turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and went to wait for news in the main hall. Jiang Xianlin was not finished, and he was willing to enter the room to see the lady until he asked Imperial Physician Wang to drive Yuwen Moyuan to stand in the courtyard.
Imperial Physician Wang could only laugh and beg Yuwen Moyuan to wait in the courtyard for a while. Yuwen Moyuan remembered what Imperial Physician Wang had said, although he felt that this person was too crazy, but people with ability did usually have a different temper than ordinary people. He endured his anger and walked out of the room completely, standing alone in the courtyard waiting for news, only hoping that the brothers of Doctor Wang could join forces to save Lan Jing'an's life.
Jiang Xianlin entered the bedroom, looked at the bed, and was surprised, it was none other than Xiao Si Ming, who had been missing for nearly a year! He hurriedly went over to check, and sure enough, it was her, but Xiao Si Ming was already unconscious and dying. This time, he said that he would use all his strength to get her life back.
Imperial Physician Wang didn't expect Jiang Xianlin to change his attitude all of a sudden, but it was not unusual for the doctor to see many patients like this, and he didn't think much about it. He never knew that Jiang Xianlin had seen Lan Jing'an who was still Bai Yiyan more than a year ago.
Jiang Xianlin carefully examined and measured it, and it was similar to the previous conclusion of Imperial Doctor Wang, the eyebrow bone and other external injuries were not tight, the most fatal one was to break the rib and hurt the organs, and the internal organs would inevitably have blood, so the blood foam would rise, and Lan Jing'an's face would become pale.
Jiang Xianlin repositioned Lan Jing'an's broken ribs. Then let Imperial Physician Wang change the silver needle acupuncture points for her, and personally fed her Enxing Huijun pill, this pill is the most useful for internal injuries caused by falls, but it is very difficult to refine, Jiang Xianlin does not have a few in total, but this time is not the time to cherish the medicine.
He also asked Imperial Physician Wang to prepare the Rejuvenation and Blood Rejuvenation Soup. When Imperial Physician Wang heard this, he became anxious: "Senior brother, I finally stopped the bleeding in my wife's uterus, and as soon as you restore the blood soup, isn't the bleeding under her even worse?" β
Jiang Xianlin also changed his tone anxiously: "Senior brother, it's all this time, can you take care of anything else?" Anyway, the fetus in her womb can't be saved, and if she can't drain the blood stasis caused by broken bones in her internal organs in time, Da Luo Immortal can't save her. No matter how bad the blood loss is now, it will be slowly replenished after that, if the life is gone, what is the use of keeping a body of blood! β
Doctor Wang was silent, he finally knew where the gap between himself and his junior brother was. Many times it's not that he won't, it's that he always looks ahead and backwards, but misses the opportunity to save people. Imperial Physician Wang nodded, and went out to personally prepare the Restoration Blood Rejuvenation Soup.
Jiang Xianlin was also sweating anxiously at this time, but he still tried to control his emotions and continued to check for Lan Jing'an. He knew that people who had fallen injuries usually had more than one injury, and the most feared thing was to hurt their heads. Especially in the absence of significant bleeding, many doctors will ignore the blood stasis on the head of the injured person due to the fact that it is covered by hair. He carefully groped through her hair to see if there were any lumps he hadn't noticed before.
Sure enough, he quickly found a small inconspicuous bulge near his right temple, which was presumably hit by her at the same time when she hurt the corner of her eyebrow, but the bulge that did not bleed was very small, and it was reasonable not to cause an immediate coma. He found another piece at the back of his head, which was much larger than the one near his temple. He was taken aback, for fear that he had made a mistake in his judgment and mistaken Lan Jing'an's diagnosis and treatment, so he hurriedly called Imperial Doctor Wang back.
Imperial Physician Wang came back and checked it and breathed a sigh of relief. waved his hand at Jiang Xianlin: "Senior brother doesn't have to be nervous, the reason why Madam is in a coma is not because of this blood stasis in the back of her head." The piece of her forehead, I've found before, but as you judge, it's too small to cause much of a problem. The way Madame looks now, it should be related to the damage to her internal organs. β
Jiang Xianlin was a little angry, and after taking the silver needle, he was about to go to dissolve the blood stasis in the back of Xiao Si Ming's head: "Senior brother, how do you know that her appearance is not caused by this blood stasis in the back?" With such a large amount of blood stasis here, it is normal for a coma to be unconscious. How do you judge?! β
Imperial Physician Wang knew that he didn't believe it, so he stopped him and told the truth: "Madame, this is an old injury, she once fell into the water a year ago, hit the back of her head, and lost her memory. There is no need to dissolve this blood stasis, and it will not affect her life. β
