Chapter 70 Two Months Pregnant
After Fang Fang's voice fell, Yin Ji's expression changed. He didn't ask any specific questions, but asked, "Where is your wife now?"

"At the inn!"

The two officials didn't know what happened, but when they saw that Yin Ji was about to leave, they subconsciously stopped him and said, "Master Yin—" Their prefect had ordered him not to wander around in the city.

"Get out of the way." Yin Ji said impatiently.

He ignored the official errand, told Fang Fang to sit in the carriage, and then the carriage drove quickly to the inn pointed by Fang Fang.

"What's going on, why is your wife in Jinling?" Yin Ji asked solemnly.

It's too complicated, Fang Fang didn't say anything, but said: "My wife has been sick for several days, and has been waking up and sleeping for the past few days. I also came to stop Mr. Yin's carriage out of desperation. I stopped Mr. Yin when he entered the city before, but Mr. Yin didn't hear it."

Yin Ji thought back for a while, it seemed that he vaguely heard someone calling him at that time.

He is just a disaster victim.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside the inn.

"It's here!" Fang Fang took the lead to get out of the carriage.

In the inn, Ruan Muyang was still lethargic, Er Shui was sitting by the bed, panicked.Since last night, Ruan Muyang has started to have a fever.

Er Shui took care of her for a whole day, but the temperature on Ruan Muyang's forehead never seemed to fade. "Ma'am, Ma'am, wake up." Er Shui was worried and was about to cry, fearing that if he was rescued, he would end up living on the street again.

Suddenly, the door of the inn was opened.

Seeing a strange young man walk in, Er Shui was startled at first, and then he was relieved when he saw the enamel behind him.

"Sister Fangang——" Er Shui wanted to ask who this young man was, but seeing Fangang shaking his head at her, he closed his mouth and stood aside.

The first time he entered Ruan Muyang's room, and saw her lying on the bed, and seeing her sleeping with her eyes closed, Yin Ji lost all romantic thoughts.He reached out and touched Ruan Muyang's forehead, and found that it was so hot that he was frightened, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he called out tentatively, "Madam Zhang?"

Ruan Muyang naturally couldn't hear it, and couldn't answer him either.

"Ma'am started firing last night." Enamel said.

"Why didn't you call the doctor?" Yin Ji's voice was full of anxiety.But then he seemed to think of something, and without waiting for Fanglang to answer, he bent down and hugged Ruan Muyang with the quilt horizontally and said, "Go to the other courtyard where I live."

Er Shui was dumbfounded.

Who is this man?
Could it be the lady's husband?
Fang Fang looked at Yin Ji hugging Ruan Muyang more than he could, subconsciously opened his mouth to remind him, but the words were swallowed again.

Carrying the man out of the room, Yin Ji said to a boy: "Go, please doctor! Just say I want to invite you."

"Yes, son."

The official sent by the prefect of Jinling looked surprised when Yin Ji carried a woman out of the inn room.When Yin Ji walked past them, they subconsciously wanted to see what the woman wrapped in the quilt looked like, but they were stared at by Yin Ji's cold eyes, and they shuddered suddenly. Even more lingering fear.

It won't be long before the news that Yin Ji went to the inn to hug a woman will reach the ears of Zheng Lu, the prefect of Jinling.

Er Shui, who was still standing there in a daze, said, "Go, follow."

Yin Ji's residence in Jinling City was specially arranged by Zheng Lu, the prefect of Jinling. The location is very good and the surrounding is very quiet.Since it is another courtyard arranged by Zheng Lu, there are quite a lot of Zheng Lu people in it.

After returning to the other courtyard and getting out of the carriage, Yin Ji carried Ruan Muyang directly to his own room, without anyone else's hand along the way.

The enamel eyelids following behind jumped, and immediately pulled Er Shui who was still looking around to follow closely.

Not long after, the doctor came.

It was already very late when Ruan Muyang woke up leisurely.She looked at the bed curtain first, and then looked around, she found that this place was very strange, not in the inn.

"Ma'am! You're finally awake!" Enamel said with joy.

Ruan Muyang searched for the sound and saw the enamel beside the bed, and his throat still hurt: "Falang, where is this?"

"Madam, this is Lord Yin's residence." Fang Fang touched Ruan Muyang's forehead and said happily, "Madam, your fever has finally subsided."

It turned out that Yin Ji was back, no wonder.Ruan Muyang nodded, and then found that the headgear was not as dizzy as before.

At this time, Fang Fang grabbed Ruan Muyang's hand, trembling with excitement, and said: "Madam, the doctor said that you are happy, it has been more than two months." She has been preparing Ruan Muyang's decoction, and she knows that her wife always wants to have A child, now at last.

"What?" Ruan Muyang was stunned.

Afterwards, her pale face slowly turned red as if from excitement, and her eyes blurred. "Falang, is what you said true?" She asked, reaching out her other hand to touch her stomach, tears streaming down from her eyes, and wet the pillow cover.

"Really! Ma'am!" Enamel wiped away her tears and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Er Shui."

Ruan Muyang suddenly asked nervously: "Did the doctor say how the fetus is?" This child was born before Emperor Yuan came to the throne.After experiencing an extremely dangerous political struggle, from the capital to Cangzhou, from Cangzhou to Jinling, the haunting of bandits, the pursuit of Sun Zhen, the arrest of the government, and the continuous heavy rain were all thrilling, which made her feel so scared. I didn't notice my body.

Thinking of how Zhang Anyi misunderstood that she had been drinking Bizi Tang all the time, Ruan Muyang felt pain in his heart.

Now that they can finally have a child with him, Mrs. Zhao and Ruan Zhongling don't need to worry about her anymore, and she can also face the old Shangshu and the old lady without feeling guilty or uneasy anymore.

Fang Fang showed a smile and said: "The doctor said that Madam suffered from the wind and cold, and was weak due to the exhaustion of running around. As long as she takes good care of her, the baby in her womb will be fine."

Ruan Muyang heaved a sigh of relief.

It will be fine.After finally getting pregnant, she has gone through so many hardships before, if it is gone, she will probably never forgive herself, nor will she forgive Zhang Anyi.

This child came at the wrong time and at the right time.

Er Shui who was standing aside suddenly knelt down.

When the knee hit the ground, there was a very clear "plop".

"What are you doing?" Ruan Muyang asked.

The enamel is also inexplicable.

Ershui kowtowed to Ruan Muyang respectfully, and said: "Madam, Ershui joined Madam because of the blessings of several generations of cultivation. Ershui didn't know anything before, and didn't know that Madam was a high-ranking official sent by the capital to inspect. Madam, please forgive me if I offend Madam."

Ruan Muyang was stunned and said, "Get up first."

Fang Fang went over to pull her up, and said helplessly in her tone: "How many times have I told you that our wife is not Mrs. Yin's wife."

Er Shui nodded and said: "I know, I know. Didn't Madam also hide her identity earlier?"

The enamel was silent for a while: "How can you say you can't understand?"

Ruan Muyang looked at Ershui amusedly and said: "Ershui, Lord Yin and I are just acquaintances." She didn't know how she came to this other courtyard, nor did she know whose room she was sleeping in now.

Er Shui was dubious.

At this moment, footsteps came from far and near outside the room.

"Master Yin." Falang and Ershui stood aside.

Yin Ji, who walked over in a normal suit, looks like a nobleman.Seeing that Ruan Muyang woke up, he curled his lips: "Are you awake?" His tone was very soft.

Ruan Muyang nodded: "Thank you."

"Just wake up." Yin Ji said to Fang Fang and Er Shui, "Go down first, I have something to talk to your wife."

Enamel hesitated and didn't want to leave.

Ruan Muyang saw her identity, and said, "Falang, you should go and guard the door first."

Fang Fang thought for a while, since their wives are pregnant, there should be nothing wrong, so she nodded and took Er Shui out.

Suddenly, only Ruan Muyang and Yin Ji were left in the room.Yin Ji's eyes fell on Ruan Muyang's pale face, with his usual frivolity.

For the first time, Ruan Muyang felt very uncomfortable and unruly when he was lying down and staring at a man other than Zhang Anyi, so he wanted to sit up.

She seemed to be thinner than when she was in Beijing, and she was so weak that she would be crushed in the heavy rain. Yin Ji stretched out his hand to help her.

Seeing his hand stretched out, Ruan Muyang glared at him.

"I just want to help you because I see you are disabled." Yin Ji withdrew his hand and smiled sheepishly, "Do you want me to ask Fangang to come in and help you?"

Although he was thin and weak, the aura of staring at him was the same as before, not changing at all.

"No need." Ruan Muyang finally sat up and leaned against the head of the bed.Because her body was weak, she had consumed a lot of strength, and she was a little out of breath at the moment.

The rapid breathing seemed to be right next to his ears, seeing that pale face flushed slightly due to the exertion, Yin Ji involuntarily followed the gentle curve of the face...

Noticing the cold gaze, he immediately looked away, not guilty, and changed the subject with a smile, "Why did you come to Jinling? It's still this time."

No way, when did they meet in the past without keeping a distance, she looked dignified and inviolable?It was the first time I saw her look weak because of illness, and she let go of her unattainable appearance. He is a man, how could he not care about the horse heart ape?
"It's hard to say. Four of my guards were taken away by the prefect of Jinling to repair the embankment. I need to ask you to help find them."

Seeing that she was still in the same state, Yin Ji nodded and said: "Of course it's a trivial matter. Mrs. Zhang came to Jinling on purpose to find an official, right?" His mood was up and down that day. It's exceptionally good now.

Ruan Muyang didn't deny it, nor did he look at him like a fox with his tail up to the sky, and said, "That's right. When I was in Shandong, I heard that you were sent to inspect. This prefect of Jinling really has no king." Fa, devoid of conscience."

There was a strange flash in Yin Ji's eyes, he didn't say anything, he just asked, "Did the prefect of Jinling offend you?" It was strange to say that Ruan Muyang seemed to be very sensitive, as long as he had other thoughts and moved his eyes to places he shouldn't look at She will find out, and then she will stare back with a warning.

Ruan Muyang felt very heavy when he thought of the old, weak, women and children who were taken away, and that Fang Fang could not even get a doctor.

She was not the only one offended by the prefect of Jinling.

"You came here for inspection, so you don't know what the prefect of Jinling has done?" Ruan Muyang asked.

"Of course I know." Yin Ji smiled and then said, "After thinking about it, I still find it strange to meet Mrs. Zhang in Jinling. I am really curious about what Mrs. Zhang has experienced and why she left the capital. When it was raining, Zhang Ge was so relieved that you left the capital without even knowing that you were pregnant."

Speaking of this, there was some dissatisfaction in his frivolous tone.

"But because Mr. Zhang Ge knew what you did without telling him?" He asked.

Ruan Muyang ignored the disappointment in his heart and did not object.

Probably after going through so many hardships, she finally came down safely, and she felt a lot more relaxed. She said, "Originally, I went to Cangzhou for a banquet, and then I met Sun Haoyou, the son of Sun Zhen, the prefect of Cangzhou..." What would happen simply? I went to Jinling to talk about it again, and now looking back on the previous ones, I don’t have any deep feelings.

Yin Ji frowned as he listened, "The water in the south of the Yangtze River is not at all shallower than that in Cangzhou, especially in Jinling. There is Jinling weaving on the prefect of Jinling, which is the mother's home of the queen mother. Treat your health better. After the water subsides, I will notify the people in the capital to pick you up."

Unknowingly, Ruan Muyang no longer called Yin Ji "Master Yin" in a distant manner, and Yin Ji didn't deliberately call her "Mrs. Zhang".

Ruan Muyang nodded.

Noticing that Yin Ji's eyes turned back to places she shouldn't be looking at, she happened to be a little sleepy, and said, "It's getting late, you can leave."

Yin Ji, who originally realized that she was tired and was going to leave, heard her words of alienation, and suddenly didn't want to leave.He sat still, and said with a frivolous smile, "Mrs. Zhang, you are living in the official's room, and the bed you are sleeping under is the official's bed."

Ruan Muyang took a closer look, only to find that the furnishings in this room were full of masculinity, and the size of the room did not seem like a guest room.

How can a married woman sleep in another man's room?
Her face turned red instantly, very annoyed.

Seeing that Ruan Muyang seemed to be coming down, Yin Ji immediately said: "I slept in this room for one night when I came to Jinling, and then I went to Pingjiang for many days. I just came back today. The doctor said that you have to rest for a few days before you can get out of bed. Otherwise, it is not good for the fetus in the womb."

Hearing what he said, Ruan Muyang stopped.

Her body was already weak, and she couldn't stop panting after a lot of tossing.

Seeing Ruan Muyang frowning while looking at the pillow and quilt, Yin Ji felt that he was disgusted, he was very embarrassed, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "The people under this pillow and quilt must have changed it."

By this time, Ruan Muyang had realized that Yin Ji's previous words were intentional, and he didn't give him a good look, so he said in a cold voice, "Are you still going?"

His temper really hasn't changed at all.

"The subordinate retire."

After Yin Ji left, Fang Fang entered the house with the medicine.After drinking the medicine, Ruan Muyang fell asleep.

That night, Yin Ji went to the inn impatiently, and the news about a woman brought home spread to Zheng Lu, the prefect of Jinling, and then to Qiu's weaving house in Jinling.

Today's Jinling Weaving, that is, Empress Qiu's father, Qiu Ran's deep eyes showed a smile.While tapping the handle of the chair with his fingers, he said: "It turns out that this Yin Ji doesn't like money, but women. I used to think that this man is cunning and unfathomable. The empress dowager may not use him properly. In the end, he suffered greatly. Now it seems that as long as he has desires, he can easily grasp them."

Zheng Lu echoed with a smile: "Master Qiu said that tomorrow, I will go find a few women who are famous for their beauty and talent in Qinhuai." Whether you are an old fried dough stick or a young talent, none of them can resist Qin Huai's fame.When they are drunk in the gentleness, then naturally they want them to report something back to Beijing, so they will report something.

"No need." Qiu Ran interrupted Zheng Lu, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said, "The old man has his own arrangements."

"Yes, the next official will listen to Mr. Qiu."

In the evening of the second day, Heyue and the others came back.

After the doctor came to see and took the medicine, Ruan Muyang's fever did not come up again, and he slept for two more days, and he finally got better.On the third day, her body was already strong.After letting the enamel hang up the curtain, she let Heyue and the others in.

As soon as they came in, Heyue and the others knelt down: "This subordinate is incompetent. If there is something wrong with Madam, this subordinate can't explain to the second master, so I can only apologize with death." After returning, Fang Fang told them what happened after they left. Heyue.

"Get up, I'm fine." Ruan Muyang asked, "What happened to you when you went to repair the embankment? Did those officials make things difficult for you?"

Heyue and the others know martial arts and are physically strong. It is no problem for them to go to the river to carry things.But what they saw in those few days made them unforgettable.

"Ma'am, the government in Jinling is colluding, committing a heinous crime. A large number of disaster victims flooded into Jinling. Zheng Lu not only ignored it, but in order to cope with inspections, he spared the young and strong people in the city, making them hungry and sick." The victims of the disaster are going to repair the dam." Thinking of the victims who were still talking to him during the day and then being carried away in the afternoon, even He Yue, who had seen too much life and death, turned red-eyed.

Ruan Muyang felt sad. "This prefect of Jinling is too much."

She can count other people's lives in political struggles, but she can't see the people at the bottom who have already suffered so much suffering being hurt again.

"Madam, this subordinate will send a letter to the second master to escort Madam back to the capital as soon as possible."

As soon as Heyue's voice fell, there were footsteps.

"Most of the roads in the Liangjiang area are flooded and difficult to walk. Your wife is still in recovery and has a fetus in her womb. I'm afraid it's not suitable to return to Beijing at this time." Yin Ji walked in.

He Yue and Yin Ji looked at each other very vigilantly.

There are some things that Ruan Muyang can't think of, but he can think of them.

In this Jinling, the largest one is the Jinling weaving and Qiu family, which is also the mother's family of the queen mother.The prefect of Jinling dared to do this because the Qiu family was behind him, and Yin Ji, who was originally a member of the queen mother, was naturally in collusion, and the inspection was just a show.Also, their second master and Queen Mother Qiu are actually incompatible.

The Qiu family must have wanted to get rid of their family's second master, the stumbling block that prevented the Qiu family from becoming the largest foreign relative.

Thinking of this, Heyue's eyes became even more hostile.

Yin Ji ignored him, but looked at Ruan Muyang behind the curtain and asked, "Is Mrs. Zhang feeling better?" After saying that, he opened the curtain and walked in.

He Yue stopped him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yin, for your concern."

You still have to avoid suspicion, and Yin Ji is really frivolous these days, getting more and more aggressive, Ruan Muyang didn't stop He Yue.She said to Yin Ji through the curtain: "Thank you, Lord Yin, for your concern."

Then she said to Heyue: "The current road is not easy to walk. It may be dangerous at any time if the water does not recede. It is better to wait for a while. When the water subsides, I will go when I am better." After finally having a child, it is natural Be safe.

After a few more days, Ruan Muyang was finally able to get out of bed and walk around.

It just so happened that the rain stopped that day.

Supported by enamel and Ershui, Ruan Muyang walked out of the house and walked around the yard, only to find that this courtyard is extraordinarily exquisite.

"The rain has finally stopped, and the dam has a chance to ease." Ruan Muyang sighed.

At this time, Er Shui suddenly snorted coldly.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Muyang asked.

Er Shui pursed his lips and refused to say anything, just said: "That Mr. Yin is not a good official at all!"

Ruan Muyang looked at the enamel suspiciously.

Fang Fang sighed and said, "Ma'am, I heard that the Seventh Miss of the Qiu family invited Master Yin to attend an opera today."

Ruan Muyang raised his eyebrows.

Listen to a play?

There are so many bad things in Jinling City, she thought he was taking advantage of this time to deal with the problem, and he actually had the leisure to go to the theater? "Then Miss Qi of the Qiu family is the younger sister of the Empress Dowager?" Ruan Muyang asked.

Enamel nodded.

At this time, Er Shui murmured sullenly: "The prefect of Jinling is in trouble with the Qiu family, and now Master Yin is also in trouble with them." She is a child who doesn't understand anything, and she probably heard these words.

But her words also reminded Ruan Muyang.

The most powerful and most powerful in Jinling is the Qiu family, the Qiu family is the queen mother's natal family, and Yin Ji is the queen mother's family.She thought that he would thoroughly investigate these matters after returning to Jinling, but now she is not sure.Will he really check it out?

Immediately, the leisurely mood of admiring the scenery was gone, Ruan Muyang said: "Call Heyue here for me."

After a while, Heyue came.

"Heyue, go and find out for me the relationship between the nobles of this family in Jinling City, especially how powerful the Qiu family is, and tell me together with what you know before." At this time, Ruan Muyang became On the night when the rogues in Cangzhou attacked, he looked decisive.

Heyue was stunned.He originally wanted to remind Ruan Muyang to pay attention to his body, but going to Cha Qiu's house was always what he wanted to do.

"Ma'am, pay attention to yourself, this subordinate will go and investigate right away."

After Heyue left, Ruan Muyang meditated without saying a word.

In the evening, Yin Ji came back from outside.Hearing that Ruan Muyang was able to go to the ground, he hummed a little tune to see her.Seeing Ruan Muyang sitting in front of the table dignifiedly, with his side face facing the door, his complexion could not be seen clearly under the dancing candlelight, he did not notice anything unusual, curled his lips and asked: "I heard that Mrs. Zhang is in good health. many?"
