Chapter Eight, when the flowers have withered, why wait for the return of spring?

I was afraid that he would be discovered by someone. When I hurriedly got up from the bed, my sleeve was grabbed by Chunyu Wang.

By the time the guards returned empty-handed, it was already dawn. Chunyu Wang, wearing a cloak, sat silently by the bed for half the night. When he heard the report, he was not surprised. He glanced at me indifferently and said, "Are you satisfied?"

I don't understand.

I turned away, tightened my face, and ignored him.

He did not avoid my resentful gaze, and silently stared at me for a moment before sighing softly and saying, "What you hope for is impossible, but I hope... It's just as I expected. If I can't keep you, I don't know if this child can keep you."

Chunyu Wang seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, and he lowered his head and said to lovesickness, "Lovesickness, your mother said to let your father find many little concubines to give birth to a pile of younger brothers for you."

He fell silent.

That Li Hong, who is like a nephew but not a nephew, like a master but not a master, I don't know how many things he has said about me behind my back. But he would rather drown his sorrows in alcohol than show the slightest anger towards me, which shows how much he values me as his substitute wife.

As I was about to rush over to stop him, Chunyu Wang had already turned around and pointed at me, angrily saying, "Xiao Qi, take her back to the house and watch over her!"

Chunyu Wang quickly let go of her and said with a smile, "Xiangsi, your mother is just teasing you! As a young girl, you shouldn't play with knives and swords."

I didn't sleep well at night.

I seem to be lost myself, and I have no idea where to start.

Chunyu Wang raised his spirits and pointed at me, saying, "She got injured a little while ago. Come and help her check her pulse to see if there's any problem."

Just like now, I can almost see at a glance that he is hoping for me to deny his words.

Chunyu Wang walked over, lifted the quilt, covered me, and said quietly, "If your wound doesn't heal, I'm afraid it won't be convenient for you to escape, right?"

This person is as observant as a hair. Even though I didn't originally think that the bird's chirping had anything to do with me, after my abnormal behavior, the bird's chirping coincidentally stopped, which was enough for him to conclude that something strange was going on.

As I furrowed my brows to push, my wrist was already tightly grasped by someone.

Good evening!

The young Qi who was guarding at the gate had already drawn his long sword, intending to follow him. Upon hearing this, he immediately raised his sword to stop me and said, "Madam, please go back!"

Yesterday's sword injury was just a superficial wound, it was nothing serious. How could it lead to these symptoms? Could it be that my body has become weak due to his suppression of my power?

Lí Hóngdào: "Hmm... it's an acute illness, and the symptoms are severe. The child's family must not go in, for fear of catching the illness."

Although he shouted angrily, his voice was deep and heavy, dull, with a hint of weakness trembling.

I am a female captive from Ruiguo, I am a substitute for the person he loves.

What a remarkable man.

Through the window paper, I saw clearly that Chunyu Wang's figure trembled visibly, and then he whispered lowly, "Shut up!"

I said wearily, "Hmm... Maybe Prince Zhen just now was too powerful?"

After not noticing my response for a while, it paused briefly and then started chirping again after a few times.

However, I dare not agree with his opinion and said lightly, "The more a girl is, the more she should learn to protect herself, so as not to be bullied by those bad people."

I don't treat you well naturally. You are willing to get close to us, occasionally showing a hint of concern, just to make me relax my guard, so that you can seize more opportunities to escape from me, right?

And I am completely cold, pressing hard on my lower abdomen, pinching it fiercely. I wish I could take a knife, cut open my belly, dig out the bastard he left behind, and throw it in his face.

Evening ... ...

But when I held the medicine, somehow I felt that the smell was particularly unpleasant. As soon as I sniffed it, my throat tightened and I felt nauseous.

I used to think that even if you were a woman completely unrelated to Yingying, after spending such a long time together, you should understand the sincere love I have for you and how I treat you...

These two brothers have known me since childhood, and we have studied together under the same master, so we naturally get along very well.

A soft feeling arose in my heart. I held her warm hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead and nose. With a smile, I said, "Let's walk slower, look at the sweat on your forehead!"

Chunyu Wang, however, took the medicine bowl and tasted it first. He nodded and said, "It's not hot anymore, drink it quickly!"

And I am really exhausted, feeling drowsy and heavy, even my eyelids seem too heavy to open.

At one point, my stomach felt empty after vomiting, and I felt a bit more comfortable. However, the wound in my chest seemed to have reopened and was a bit painful. I let Ruan Yu and others come over to help me change my clothes and clean up the filth, while I just kept my eyes closed to rest, feeling strange in my heart.

I can't remember when I bit someone, expecting him to go crazy again, thinking about his tenderness. It turns out that this is just a little bit of lovesickness, although she is not my daughter, I still treat her sincerely.

Why should I care if he drinks for his deceased wife buried alone in the grave?

Children should not... ... You will also get sick.

It's quite strange, at this moment my mind is exceptionally clear, so clear that I can't really fall into a deep sleep, and all that's in my mind is the line of poetry that Chunyu Yi-wang just recited.

Chunyu Wangdao: "Your mother caught a cold last night and her health is not good. She needs to rest in bed for a few days. If you want your mother to recover quickly, you are not allowed to disturb her."

What is the plan? What is the plan for her?

Chunyu Wang tightly embraced me, disregarding the filth that splattered all over his body, and shouted repeatedly: "Someone, quickly bring water, quickly... quickly go find a doctor!"

I don't know what Situ Yong left for me by the water. When I have the chance to go out, I will try my best to get it as soon as possible. Maybe then I will have a chance to escape.

That sound seemed to have touched a nerve in Li Hong's mind. He let go of Chun Yuwang's clothes and after a long pause, he said, "In any case, I can't rest assured if you keep this woman by your side."

Madam!

Lihong fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "My late father never regretted exchanging his own daughter for a princess, but he always regretted not taking good care of the princess, allowing her to encounter the late emperor and enter that place where people are eaten without leaving bones!"

When I urgently pulled him, he just waved his hand and pushed me aside. Without looking back, he rushed out.

Chunyu Wang immediately noticed, turned his head and glanced at me, but did not come over immediately. It turned out that the hand reaching for the wine jar picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and then stood up.

This man is shrewd yet foolishly infatuated, turning a blind eye to Yingying's death and willing to believe my lies, continuing to maintain this illicit "marriage".

After placing a layer of silk cloth between us, he skillfully felt my pulse for a moment. With a smile on his face, he stood up and said to Chunyu Wang, "Congratulations, sir! Congratulations! The lady's injury is not serious, and she is already more than one month pregnant, less than two months!"

After finishing speaking, I stood there in a daze.

I stayed for a while.

Lí Hóng lives a little far away. At this time, he has also been alarmed and hurriedly came forward to say, "Your Highness, it is urgent to pursue the spy!"

There is a unique charm in the fragrance, so pure that it knows no cold.

Lihong also seemed very angry, stomping his feet and saying, "Little brat, when will you sober up? If it were an ordinary woman, it would be fine, but Qin Wan's background is not simple. How can you dote on her like this and even forget about your own great ambitions?"

I can even feel his breath warm and soft, brushing against my ear, gentle yet ambiguous.

He is not unaware, but unwilling to face it, which is why he would stay at her grave in the middle of the night, braving the heavy snow to drink. Then, he would turn around and walk away as if nothing had happened, as if that grave was just an occasional nightmare in his late nights.

Chunyu Wang!

However, this doctor is obviously more intelligent than he expected.

He seemed to have a moment of confusion, but soon a joyful smile curved his lips. He opened his arms and embraced me, saying softly, "Okay, I won't drink cold wine. Whatever you say."

I don't remember when I fell asleep later. When I heard a low argument outside, the sunlight had already penetrated through the window and sprinkled patches of bright light on the bluestone floor.

Even if he brings me joy or I bring him joy, it should only be a physical response to the opposite sex's instinct. In my illusions or dreams, how could he be there?

He looked at me with a faint smile, his face filled with hope.

One cup after another, they silently drank the entire pot of wine.

Chunyu suddenly exclaimed, "Is she Yingying? Can it be that I don't recognize her and need you to tell me? Blood is thicker than water. Even if she forgets me, she won't forget her own daughter."

He seemed a little hesitant, and after a while, he reached out and gently rubbed my shoulder.

Biological daughter?

Chunyu Wang fell silent for a moment, with a somewhat melancholic tone: "I never thought that we, as husband and wife, would become strangers when we meet again. It will take some time for her to accept this family again."

Are you awake?

This feeling makes me very annoyed, and I can't wait to leave here as soon as possible, to leave this stranger who has nothing to do with me but has to enjoy the night with them.

But I don't know if holding it like this can strangle the bastard he left inside me to death in my belly?

Chunyu Wang looked at the delicate little figure in his arms and suddenly smiled, "That's not a bad idea. We can have another baby boy for her. When we get old, her little brother can protect her."

I struggled a bit, moved inward a few inches, and he wisely withdrew his hand, pulling the blanket tighter around me before silently falling asleep.

Although none of his attendants are doctors, they are all skilled in martial arts and have various types of medicinal preparations ready, making it very convenient to brew a dose.

Chunyu Wang smiled and said, "Is it not to your taste? I'll have someone make something else for you. In the meantime, go ahead and take your medicine."

常常在血腥的战斗中来回转动，受伤和服药已经成为家常便饭。

Hurry, put me on the bed. When he untied my clothes to treat the wound, I clearly heard him sigh with relief.

The doctor replied, "Madam is in good health, with a stable pulse. However, the circulation of qi and blood is slow, probably due to the injury. It is advisable to take more nourishing herbs to regulate the condition. Moreover, as you are pregnant, certain medicinal ingredients in common wound medicine should be avoided. I will prepare a separate prescription for you to take."

Xiao Qi nodded and left.

I sneered, "In the court of Da Rui, how many people know that Qin Wan is a woman? Do you still expect those spies from Nan Liang, who only know how to engage in petty activities, to uncover any significant secrets?"

My mother won't let me get sick. She loves me so much! You go away quickly. My mother is sick and she must want me to be with her!

Chunyu Wang repeated my words with gritted teeth, his face turned away for a moment, before slowly bending into a faint smile. He held my hand and said softly, "Actually, you might want to consider the idea of lovesickness."

As I saw him raise his hand to reach for the wine jar on the table, I couldn't help but sit up straight, feeling a dull pain in my chest. I furrowed my brows and let out a low groan.

I sneered, "What if you're not by her side? What if you grow old and she marries someone else?"

As he turned and ran away, I forcefully suppressed the pain in my wound. Amidst the intense pain, blood gushed out and quickly dyed half of my clothes red. I was covered in cold sweat, and my face must have turned pale with fear.

Chunyu Wang was leaning tiredly against the bed, supporting his forehead. Upon hearing the words, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, nodding and saying, "Oh, you've been here before."

Longing is called the way: "Nonsense! Mother was still reading military books to me yesterday, and it was so pleasant to listen to. How could she get sick?"

He was bewildered, "Poetry?"

Chunyu Wang put the teacup back on the table, feeling a sudden chill. He walked to the fireplace and warmed himself for a moment before returning to my side and holding me in his warm embrace. He asked softly, "What happened just now? Your face suddenly turned pale."

I breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table, lit a match, lit the oil lamp, watched it brighten up, and saw Chunyu Wang sleeping soundly. I picked up a hairpin, only to use it to adjust the wick of the lamp. I pressed the flame down a bit, then lifted it up again, and repeated the process.

I concentrate my mind and transfer electricity, rushing straight towards his sword edge.

He treats me as Yingying, has always been very good to me. If I say I want to drink water, he would probably get up and pour it for me. So I said, "I need to use the restroom."

Chunyu Wang looked outside at the plum forest for a while, then returned to the bedside and sat down next to me.

I sighed and said, "Then you should quickly take in several concubines, and it won't be a problem for you to have ten or eight sons. I just advise you to think less about Princess Chang'e, otherwise, our emperor will not spare you."

Originally, the true Yingying had long since passed away.

Will recover from illness...

When I hurried out, I was only wearing a thin coat, which was soaked in fresh blood. In fact, the injury was not serious.

At this moment, the thin curtain in front of the bed is half open. As I lean forward, I catch a glimpse of the scene outside the door. Xiangsi is wrapped in a fluffy fur coat, a round ball, struggling and wrestling with Li Hong. She is weak and unable to overpower Li Hong, becoming impatiently blocked. She opens her mouth and bites Li Hong's hand.

Return to Da Rui!

We had already talked about it earlier, but his expression didn't improve much upon hearing that I was pregnant.

Xiao Qi did not wait for him to reprimand, and knelt down to apologize: "I have neglected my duty! I am guilty! Madam ran into my sword, and I... didn't have time to withdraw it."

This Chunyu Wang is indeed not an ordinary person. It turns out that his mother, Princess Roufei, is the former dynasty's important minister who risked her life to protect the former dynasty's princess by substituting her own flesh and blood.

Chunyu Wang has few people here, but undoubtedly each of them is an expert. Moreover, the last time has already alerted the enemy, this person is very cunning, how can we be sure that he has not set a trap nearby? Situ Yong's identity is so noble, how can he be so confused, repeatedly putting my life in danger?

While I was lost in thought, I heard light footsteps approaching, which sounded very familiar to me. I immediately guessed that it was Chunyu Wang coming in, so I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

I nodded and said, "It's alright, another one can be made for you by my mother another day. If you grow up a bit more, my mother will teach you swordsmanship. You can just strike back at anyone who bullies you, without showing any mercy."

Chunyu Wang has stopped paying attention to me. He watched as his several guards ran over and quickly headed towards the hill where the bird call had come from.

Xiāngsī biàn dū qǐ fěnhóngsè de xiǎo zuǐ er, lā guò wǒ de shǒu zài wǒ gēnqián niǔ lái niǔ qù, yī liǎn de bù qíngyuàn.

I should follow his wishes and answer "no", then take his sleeve and tell him that I actually long for his warm embrace and sincerely like the cute and lovely thoughts, maintaining a peaceful and relatively free life first, and then planning for other things.

No. Were you just dreaming?

When I struggled to open my eyes, I saw that Chunyu Wang had just approached me, holding out the tea cup to me after taking my hand and pushing it towards him.

He seems to be in a dreamy state, with his eyes closed and he mumbles, "What are you doing?"

He paused, his eyes slightly reddened, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

After a long time, my heart suddenly relaxed, and then I heard his footsteps slowly receding.

What am I doing?

He called me softly, his eyes like a pool of water stirred by the autumn wind. Deep within, it was hard to hide his resentment, frustration, and anger, as well as his sorrow and heartache.

As he came over shouting to help me, I had already covered the wound and fell to the ground, rolling and struggling in pain.

I embraced her, kissed her forehead, and softly said, "We miss each other the most. You should go out for now! When Mother misses you, she will send someone to call you, alright?"

With lovesickness, she stared at me with her big, round, and black eyes, and asked, "What is a little aunt? How could they give birth to my younger brother? Only mother can give birth to my younger brother!"

Who is he to me? Do I care if he drinks cold wine or not?

I really can't connect the lovesickness of Yuxue Linglong with the round-headed and big-eared, but the doctor's repeated flattery shows that the reward given by Chunyu Wang must have been so generous that he will remember it forever.

Chunyu Wang did not answer, he hugged me and walked into the house.

Chunyu Wang raised his hand and wiped the sweat off my forehead. He probably noticed that something was wrong with my complexion, and panic flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed.

Longing, she pointed her chubby fingers outward and complained, "That Li Hong is so wicked, he won't let me see my mother. Unfortunately, I left my slingshot in the mansion, otherwise I would have hit him on the head and given him a bunch of bumps!"

Chunyu Wang said wearily, "If I exhaust all my efforts to sit on that throne and promote the lovesick princess to the lovesick princess consort, am I doing it for her? Third brother is cunning. Even if he becomes the emperor, can he guarantee his own safety? Mother was also a princess of the previous dynasty, but how many people were implicated by her high status? Even if father later neglected her, I'm afraid... it may also be related to this."

Knowing it's a mirage, he still won't face it or expose it.

There was no smell of alcohol on his clothes, but a faint scent of wine lingered between his lips and teeth, wafting delicately to my nose and suddenly giving me a slightly tipsy feeling.

He remained calm, sitting on the edge of the bed and helping me up, his eyes always gentle and bright.

I dare not listen any further, quietly retreated with a sweat in my hand, and lay down on the bed.

Madam, please come back!

His whole body seemed to be trembling.

Li Hongzheng only heard him accompany her with a smile and say, "Little princess, be good. Your mother is sick, don't go and disturb her."

Chunyu Wang smiled and sighed, "This is remarkable. I have raised her for five years! Which child is like her, forgetting her father after gaining her mother?"

As his eyes swept past, Yu Wang suddenly stopped in his tracks, seeing Chunyu Wang disappearing quickly into the plum forest. He turned his head and shouted loudly, "Wanwan!"

He stared at me without blinking, as if waiting for my answer.

Amidst the sound of a tragic cry, a string of blood beads flew out with the withdrawal of his long sword. The sword's edge reflected the bright moonlight, illuminating the distorted face of Xiao Qi who was frightened.

Longing suddenly became anxious, "Ah, is it true that my mother is sick? Then you go away, I want to see my mother."

Give birth to a younger brother for her!

Little Qi was greatly surprised. She withdrew her sword, but it was already too late. My chest was already pierced with pain.

He is said to be crazy, yet no one is smarter or more sober than him!

Suddenly turning around, I saw Chunyu Wang give me a cold glance, quickly put on his coat, put on his shoes, and rushed out.

All of a sudden, I felt disgusted with the warm embrace that held me tightly. I pushed him away with force, turned to the side and lay down, trying my best not to touch his skin.

I suddenly had an impulse and blurted out, "On such a cold day, why drink cold wine?"

Hallucinations should be similar to dreams. But dreaming of Chunyu Wang whispering poetry in my ear is too incredible.

I am first and foremost Qin Wan, the General of Zhao Wu of the Da Rui, and the hope of the Qin clan.

I couldn't help it and reluctantly opened my eyes to look at Chunyu Wang. I saw that he was still staring at me attentively, so I asked, "Did you recite a poem when you came back with the tea?"

He glanced at me quietly and assessed me with his eyes. He then knelt down and respectfully said, "This humble person pays respects to the young master and Lady Ying!"

I feel much better. I rinsed my mouth with some tea, but felt uneasy when he watched me. I frowned and said, "There may be some particularly bitter ingredients in this medicine, which makes it uncomfortable to smell. It's not a serious injury, so I can skip taking the medicine."

Faintly discerning the voice of Chunyu Wang, I put on my clothes and got out of bed, quietly walked to the window, and listened attentively.

He stared at me fiercely, revealing his undisguised resentment.

Chunyu Wangdao: "As long as I'm here, who dares to bully her?"

The palace coup of Southern Liang, seemingly launched by Prince Huo and Chunyu Tai with the support of Empress Dowager Li, may also implicate the two.

I did consider confusing him, so as to seize the opportunity to escape when he least expected it.

Both of them returned to the capital earlier than me. I can't remember how long it has been since I last played this kind of game with someone.

Since being captured by him, I have indeed never been to Guishui again.

Little Miss, Little Miss...

Despite this, there is still a moment of haziness in my mind, as if I heard Chunyu Wang's smiling voice whispering in my ear: "There is a unique charm in fragrance, and it is so pure that one does not feel the cold..."

Since the Battle of Camel Ridge, my menstrual cycle has never been normal. But even if it is delayed for a long time, it will not be without menstruation for two months.

However, he did not get angry. He took a sip of tea and his expression became even more gentle. He even had a slight smile on his face as he softly said to me, "Wan Wan, don't move around too much. It's a bit humid today since spring has arrived. Be careful not to let your wound get infected."

Things happened suddenly. The doctor he summoned from the nearby village was obviously ordinary in appearance. Although he seemed a bit hesitant and nervous in such a place, his eyes were filled with excitement.

This kind of calming pill is far superior to ordinary calming pills. Situ Ling has finally found the prescription at great cost, sparing no effort to gather all those rare medicinal materials. He sought out the best famous doctor, Da Rui, to prepare it. The effect is excellent, able to quickly stabilize the mind in the shortest possible time. Therefore, even if one falls ill on the battlefield, they can quickly recover.

He stared at me for a while, his eyes dark and deep as if there were whirlpools surging.

After a long and winding journey, suddenly, in the distance, a continuous series of bird calls could be heard coming from the hillside, causing one to hold their breath.

I took a moment to catch my breath, not feeling too uncomfortable in my chest. However, suddenly I found the familiar smell of blood, which I had become so accustomed to during battles, particularly pungent. As the scent reached my nose, my stomach unexpectedly contracted, and I couldn't help but feel nauseous, curling up on his arm.

Lí Hóng shouted loudly from behind, "Your Highness has always been wise. What is this woman's intention? Your Highness should be able to see it!"

Where does it feel uncomfortable?

I had already clenched the medicine pouch, and picked out a pill from it. In just a moment when he turned around, I hastily swallowed it.

I even feel a dull pain in my chest, and occasionally there are waves of dizziness, definitely not due to fatigue.

He knows that my martial arts are restricted, my actions are being monitored, so he shouldn't be asking me to meet someone or go somewhere, but rather leaving me some message or something in that direction. I should be able to go over there tomorrow during a walk, it shouldn't be difficult.

I remember that day at the inn, when I mentioned that Situ Ling was my husband and he lost his composure. But now, I can't afford to anger him anymore, and I even want to use his anger to deny certain things.

Chunyu Wang did not show any surprise. The weariness in his eyes grew stronger. He softly said, "Is her body still considered healthy? Is there anything to be cautious about?"

Since being injured yesterday, I have been able to smell a faint smell of blood from my nose. My stomach has been uncomfortable and I only ate half a bowl of plain porridge before leaving it aside.

Lying on his chest, I could hear his strong and irregular heartbeat.

Unfortunately, I am neither Yingying nor a woman willing to indulge in any man.

His eyes were clear and bright, showing no signs of sleepiness. It was evident that he had long been paying attention to my every move.

Chunyu Wangzheng said impatiently, "Can you stop harping on this matter?"

Lí Hóng sneered, "Your Highness, if she is the mother of lovesickness, then who is the woman buried on the slope over there?"

Chunyu Wang sighed and said, "Have you forgotten why I initially got involved in politics? It was also you who advised me to do something to fill the emptiness in my heart and leave something for longing in the future. But now, you say, what could be better for her than bringing back a mother for her?"

I suddenly realized what he meant. I was suddenly filled with fear, and I stared at his eyes, wishing that fire would burst out and burn him to death.

He has been lonely for too long and needs such a beautiful illusion to fill the void in his heart.

I was both shocked and angry. Just as he rushed out of the house, Chunyu Wang had already run to the courtyard and sternly shouted, "Someone, come with me immediately to capture the spy."

Those two words lingered on the tip of my tongue for a long time, but in the instant my fingers pressed against my own abdomen, they turned into a resentful affirmation: "Yes! I should have been galloping on the battlefield, serving our emperor. How could I be imprisoned here to give birth to your child?"

Chunyu Wang paused for a moment and then lowered his gaze to look at me.

Surprisingly, he never mentioned my nausea and the fact that my period has been delayed for two months. I don't know if he is questioning the medical skills of this rural doctor or if he himself doesn't want to believe that I might be pregnant.

But at this moment, I clearly hear that this is the bird song that was agreed upon with me that day, and even Situ Yong himself is learning the bird song.

Little Qi handed me his long sword again, the sword's edge gleaming with a chilling cold light, intending to forcefully drive me back into the house with his sword.

A slow and gentle footstep paused by the bed, and slightly cool fingers tenderly slid over my face. I could even imagine the infatuated look on his face as he stood still by the bed, gazing at the sleeping "Yingying".

His eyes grew cold and desolate, and he said with a sigh, "Indeed, it is as I suspected."

Xiāngsī dà gǎn xìngqù, mōzhe wǒ chuángtóu guàzhe de chéngyǐng jiàn, shuōdào: "Shì ma? Yě jiùshì ná zhèyàng de jiàn kǎn rén ma?"

Your Highness!

I suppressed the urge to punch him in the face, slowly squeezing out the words from between my teeth: "You're dreaming!"

His brows indeed flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it. He slowly said, "The Chunyu family and the Qin family are not ordinary small households, right? Have the two families formed a marriage alliance? Why hasn't anyone in the Da Rui court heard of this?"

I was in a great hurry. Relying on my own agility, I faked a punch and diverted Xiao Qi's attention, swiftly dodging to one side.

Especially Situ Yong, who was extremely mischievous when he was young, often dragged Situ Ling to find me. Master Wuliang was afraid of affecting each other's studies and using the excuse of influencing the practice of the people in the temple, often did not allow them to enter. Situ Yong pulled me and made a bird call to tell me where they were, and asked me to come find them. At that time, I only felt that he was mischievous, but I didn't expect that my senior brother Situ Ling, who was three years older than me, would also urge me, and I couldn't refuse.

I sat up and felt that the pain in the injured area had improved a lot. Or perhaps, after countless injuries and torment from illnesses during the expedition, my tolerance for pain has far exceeded that of ordinary people. This little injury is nothing.

Is it? Or is it not?

I miss my mother: "I don't want to play with them, I want my mother to play with me."

He smiled and sighed, "Let's wait for the doctor's diagnosis before we say anything. I'm afraid... it really isn't suitable to take medicine..."

I am feeling agitated and restless. Even though it is a chilly spring weather, I am still anxious and sweating cold sweat because of what he said. I turned my face away from the cold quilt and lay inside, but I couldn't calm down. My heart was throbbing as if it was being pulled by a wound outside, causing a dull ache.

While pondering, there was suddenly a movement behind.

If we can catch Chunyu Wang, the other guards will be leaderless and confused, making it much less likely to find SITU Yong.

It's no wonder that Li Hong is so arrogant. Obviously, the Li family has some connection with the mother of Chunyu Wangsheng and the previous dynasty. Although they are not blood relatives, they still have to maintain a clear hierarchy in front of outsiders. But if you calculate it carefully, Li Hong can indeed be considered as Chunyu Wang's uncle.

When I was about to chase after Chunyu Wang, he had already taken someone and fled. My martial arts were restricted, and I was also entangled by Xiao Qi. It was impossible for me to catch up.

Chunyu Wang!

When Chunyu Wang exclaimed and helped me up, I had already vomited uncontrollably. Not only did I vomit all the medicine I had just drunk, but I also vomited the porridge I had previously consumed, leaving nothing behind.

Chunyu Wang also looked at me and suddenly laughed, saying, "Our little girl looks just like you. If we can't beat you, we'll bite you."

My hands were cold, and it took me a while to answer: "Chunyu Wang, stop dreaming! I already have a husband. He is a famous general in the world, and we grew up together. Our families are well-matched."

Chunyu Wang nodded and waved his hand to have the doctor taken out for reward. He then walked to the door and instructed Xiao Qi, "Later, you will personally go to get the medicine, and find two more doctors to ask. Only medicine that is safe for the fetus can be used."

He was not in a hurry at all. He walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, took two sips, and then looked at me. "Wanwan, how long has it been since you last came to the Guishui?"

What kind of feelings must one harbor in order to turn a blind eye to his wife's remains, and weave together with his daughter the dream of finding their beloved wife and mother?

I calmed my mind slightly, took a few sips of water from his hand, and my wandering consciousness settled down. I continued to lie down in the quilt and fell asleep.

But when I go to war on the battlefield, with blood all over my hands, giving orders like a mountain, and my soldiers fear nothing, the Rouran people see me as a fierce demon from hell. I have cultivated a much tougher temperament than ordinary men, and it is harder for me to lower myself and deliberately flatter him than to ascend to heaven.

It feels like something I've heard before.

But ever since he called me "Wan Wan" after hearing Situ Yong call me that, he has always called me Wan Wan without fail. I never even had a chance to explain that I am not Ying Ying.

I don't think Chunyu Wang would feel at ease letting the village doctor or midwife deliver his young wife who is only in her teens. He should have already called for a well-known doctor and midwife to wait, and asked them to follow along to assist.

Xiao Qi was already afraid to hurt me, and she quickly withdrew her sword. The stab was not deep at all, and it did not harm my internal organs or aorta at all.

On that day, I studied at Ziyashan. My master was Ven. Wuliang, while Situ Ling and Situ Yong, the two brothers, studied under my master's senior apprentice, Wuchen, whose residence was less than five li away.

The tea he just drank covered up the strong smell of alcohol in his mouth. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that he had just drowned his sorrows in alcohol like that.

I didn't answer, only feeling that although the wound was tightly wrapped, the bloodstains on my body seemed to have not been wiped clean. A wave of pungent smell entered my nose, making me feel very uncomfortable in my stomach. Even though I knew that Situ Yong had left safely, I still couldn't fall asleep.

After he listened, he loosened his grip, turned to one side, and continued to sleep.

But she is not Lady Yingying, let alone the mother of the Little Princess! Your Highness should have seen the situation yesterday! She dared to use Your Highness's feelings and even hurt herself to protect the allies of Bei Rui! Your Highness, don't you think such a woman is terrifying?

"Dreaming..." I frowned, "Perhaps it's just a dream!"

Chunyu Wang has already let go of lovesickness. He patted her little head and said, "You go out and play with Wenxiang and the others for a while, your mother and I have something to do."

Enough!

Chunyu Wang smiled bleakly and sighed lightly, saying, "Uncle, do you still remember that place where people eat without spitting out bones?"

The family background, appearance, talent, and deep affection are all enough to intoxicate people.

Upon seeing Chunyu Wang lost in thought and remaining silent, he accompanied him with a smile and said, "I wonder why the young master has summoned me..."

As Zhenjue listened to his words, it seemed that there was another layer of meaning. Meanwhile, the noise of lovesickness came from outside.

Lí Hóng is relentless, pulling at his collar and continuing to remonstrate. His voice is already somewhat hoarse: "Your Highness has been oppressed since childhood, forced to retreat and endure humiliation in everything; after so many years of hard work, the road has finally been paved, but are we just going to let Prince Huo take advantage of this ready-made opportunity? Do you really think that preserving oneself is enough? Remember how noble and precious Consort Roufei was in the past. She wanted to avoid conflict with others, but no matter how much we advised, she ignored us. What kind of ending did she come to? Your Highness, even if you don't care about yourself, you should think more about the little princess!"

Upon hearing the words of lovesickness, I followed along and walked out with her, turning my head back three times. Stepping over the threshold, she then turned around and waved at me.

I stared blankly, and unconsciously became quiet. I pursed my lips and coldly stared at him without saying a word.

Is there none?

I was stunned for a moment, unsure whether I should explain to her what "siblings" and "half-siblings" mean.

Lihong, however, did not behave like an ordinary courtier, nor did he keep his mouth shut. He continued to say, "Your Highness, please don't be stubborn anymore! Yingying has been dead for five whole years! If you don't erect a tombstone for her, don't offer her a memorial tablet, and refuse to tell Xiangsi that she has no mother... But the Yingying who was so close to Your Highness has indeed died. We all saw her buried in the coffin... It's just that Your Highness... has always refused to admit it!"... But the Yingying who was so close to Your Highness has indeed died. We all saw her buried in the coffin... It's just that Your Highness... has always refused to admit it!"

Chunyu Wang changed his clothes, and when they finished tidying up, he sat beside me and looked at me with extremely bright and flickering eyes, which seemed both surprised and delighted, extremely strange.

But he did not leave the room, and there was occasionally the light and crisp sound of cups and saucers touching. I initially thought he was drinking tea, but gradually detected the smell of alcohol, and then realized that he was drinking.

Impossible!

I tried to calm my breath and said hastily, "I'm not feeling well and very thirsty. Can you pour me a glass of water?"

Reluctantly enduring, repeatedly, just telling me a direction: three hundred and fifty steps southeast, by the water, three hundred and fifty steps southeast, by the water...

At this time, the doctor arrived.

But these are all just matters of the Southern Dynasty, which have little to do with our Dai Rui and me. What surprised me was another matter.

He lowered his gaze, slowly poured himself a drink, then tilted his head back and finished it in one gulp.

Father is still inside the house!

Chunyu Wang took a step back, leaning against the plum tree behind him, and slowly said, "You... your words today... are too many!"

Fortunately, Chunyu Wang was unsettled due to my injury, so although he ordered others to continue searching, he stayed in the room to take care of me. Situ Yong was very alert. With such a commotion here, he would also notice something unusual and most likely escape calmly.

The doctor replied, "Yes, yes, young master has a good memory! This happened five or six years ago! At that time, Lady Ying was pregnant with her first child, and it was diagnosed by me. Later, when Lady Ying was about to give birth, young master called me and two experienced midwives from our village to help. We stayed here with two famous doctors from the capital for several days! Lady Ying was young that year, and everyone said it might not be easy for her to give birth. But unexpectedly, with the help of divine intervention, she gave birth to a chubby and fair-skinned daughter in just one hour. She had a round head and big ears, truly a sight of wealth and nobility that I had never seen before!"

Chunyu Wang's handsome face paled, as white as paper. He smiled bitterly and said, "Hmm, I can see it now. Your heart is as hard as iron, just like someone like you. How much disgust you must have for me, to not even bother to appease me with a single word!"

Situyong must have seen my signal, so you can leave with peace of mind.

Chunyu Wang has rushed back, picked me up, and when he removed the hand covering my wound, his fingers were trembling.

Chunyu Wang looked at me coldly as I tossed and turned on the bed, his face even more gloomy. He didn't come back to bed to catch up on sleep, which prompted me to make some tea. I slowly drank the tea while holding the teacup on the table.

My appearance is so similar to Yingying's, and this doctor obviously mistook me for her.

I furrowed my brows, held my breath and drank the medicine in one go. Just as I was about to hand the bowl back, my stomach suddenly contracted and a sour taste rushed up my throat. I couldn't hold it back any longer and "vomited" out loud.

Situ Yong acts willfully, always treating me differently from others. I'm afraid at this moment, he may not have left yet!

After the arrival of spring, there are more birds in the mountains. It is not uncommon to hear bird songs at night. These few bird songs do not sound out of place amidst the howling mountain wind, and others do not find it unusual. However, I find it extremely familiar.

I lightly said, "It is easy for her to forget. If I return to Da Rui, at her young age, she will surely soon forget about me!"

Thus, for the third time, when I listened carefully, there was no longer the sound of birds.

I suddenly feel that this man who accompanies me day and night is unreasonable in his actions, which makes me feel suffocated and short of breath just thinking about it.

I couldn't get over it for a while, "The idea of lovesickness? What idea?"

Lihong seemed to have reached the end of her patience and said, "She is not Yingying! Her background has long been thoroughly investigated and is crystal clear. She has never been His Highness's wife, nor does she have any relationship with lovesickness! She is a female demon who has been raised like a jackal since childhood, cruel and ruthless, and has killed countless people. How can His Highness expect her to treat you sincerely? How dare he let lovesickness recognize such a poisonous woman as her mother?" A female demon who has been raised like a jackal since childhood, cruel and ruthless, and has killed countless people. How can His Highness expect her to treat you sincerely? How dare he let lovesickness recognize such a poisonous woman as her mother?"

Every night, the water comes.

I quietly opened my eyes a little, and I saw a blurry figure outside the light curtain.
