atypical prostitute

Chapter 227 Worry
After dealing with the emissary, Ye Chuan returned to the inner garden with a heavy heart, not knowing how to speak to his wife.

Li Ci, however, has already weighed the pros and cons since he learned of the Queen Mother's unreasonable request, before he could speak, he cut straight to the point and said, "I ordered you to come to Beijing for the Dragon Boat Festival, what is your husband's plan?"

"If there is no good feast, there will be no good meeting. If I meet you this time, I will definitely die."

Ye Chuan said distressedly, took off his outer robe, sat beside the imperial concubine's couch, and looked at his wife intently.

"Then...what does King Wei mean?"

"King Wei?"

It's good not to mention King Wei, but when it comes to this untrustworthy ally, Ye Chuan's face becomes even more ugly.

"Could it be that King Wei—"

Li Ci asked carefully, Ye Chuan let out a long sigh, and said, "That incident... I always thought it was an unpopular street scandal, but it turned out to be true. It's also thanks to their shamelessness that such scandalous things are also true. Do not hide from people's eyes and ears!"

"It's because we have been away from Beijing for too long, and the news in the imperial city is inevitably much slower." Li Ci said in relief.

The incident that Ye Chuan mentioned refers to the ambiguity between the King of Wei and the Queen Mother.

In fact, similar rumors had been circulating as early as when the young emperor came to the throne. After all, one is a noble prince who stands alone and holds the power of regent, and the other is a pretty queen mother who is in her twenties.But they really hooked up after the spring of this year.When it came to Lici, it was a month ago.

Pei Linger is indeed an open-minded woman, or in other words, she is too confident in her charm.

Li Ci understands the nature of King Wei. This man is greedy and shameless. Although he loves beauties more than Jiangshan, he never refuses women who offer to come to his door.

So after knowing that they hooked up together, Li Ci didn't take it seriously, and even deliberately hid it from Ye Chuan, for fear that he couldn't bear Pei Linger's blasphemy against the late emperor, and would make a radical move.

This time they were actually working together, which made Li Ci quite confused.

"In this way, I can't push back this time to return to Beijing to see you. It's just that it's already April [-]th, and it's only half a month away from the Dragon Boat Festival. The congratulatory gift—"

"The congratulatory gift has been prepared long ago. It is you who really worries me."

Ye Chuan said sadly, his tender fingertips fell on his wife's swollen belly.

"The imperial edict tells us to go back to Beijing together as husband and wife, but I'm worried...that it will harm you and the child...the child...it's almost eight months old..."

At the time of Xie, the Grand Canal had not yet opened, so Yangzhou had to send Dragon Boat Festival gifts to Chang'an in parallel by land and water, and it took more than a month to come and go.Piansheng Lici has been pregnant for more than five months, if she was really called to Beijing, it would be—

It was more than eight months when I returned to Beijing, and I may give birth prematurely due to an accident at any time!
The level of medical treatment in ancient times was limited, and a woman gave birth to a child with half of her foot straddling the gate of hell.What's more, the boats and vehicles were tiring along the way, and people were exhausted. If they happened to give birth in the wilderness, even if they took Wen Po with them, it would still be—

She is not a strong and strong chivalrous woman in martial arts legends, who can continue to walk after giving birth to a child after biting the umbilical cord.

Of course, you can also use the excuse of lack of health to stay in Beijing forcibly after seeing the driver, and return to Yangzhou after giving birth.However, since the queen mother had doubts about the couple for a long time, how could she let them stay in Chang'an City to give birth safely!
The moment the black lightning flashed across, Li Ci understood, and she finally understood why the king of Wei and the queen mother were in such a mess this time!

Son of God!
King Wei's goal is the emperor's spirit!
The king of Wei never regarded the little baby on the dragon chair as the emperor, because he also had the ambition to be the emperor.For a man who is only one step away from becoming emperor, Tianziqi is the most imminent threat.

In front of Tianziqi, who represents God's will, the alliance between King Wei and Ye Chuan is just a piece of paper that can be torn up at any time!
"Is there a way to get the queen mother to allow me to stay in Yangzhou to give birth?"

Li Ci spoke weakly, she was exhausted physically and mentally due to the continuous wind and rain.

"The general will be away, and the king's life will not be accepted. Besides, you are my wife. Even if you resist the crime of disrespect, I will not let you and the child suffer any more grievances."

Ye Chuan said resolutely, he had made up his mind a long time ago.

"Husband, aren't you afraid that they... will punish you when you enter the palace?"

"They have long regarded us as thorns in the flesh, and it is nothing to be disrespectful! If they insist on using this matter to punish me, I will have a debate with them in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Which law of the Xie Dynasty stipulates that it is a crime for a man to take pity on his wife!"

He spoke righteously, showing no fear of making things difficult for him after entering Beijing.

"My husband is in trouble."

Facing his wife's guilt, Ye Chuan only remained doubly gentle: "It's just that we have to be separated for several months. The Queen Mother is so aggressive, I...in fact, I am very contradictory... I am worried about what she will do if you stay in Yangzhou." It is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, take advantage of my absence, take the opportunity to deal with you and the child... take you to the capital, and fear that the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth... life and death are unpredictable... Fortunately, Mr. Jun promised me that he will stay temporarily when I leave Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, protect you...no matter what the purpose of his trip is, he...this person has always been as good as he promises."

"hope so."

Li Ci said dully, Jun Fengxi's position has always been a mystery.Fortunately, Bai Yinmei will return to the Yangzhou General Manager's Mansion tomorrow, and with him and Jun Fengxi restraining each other, there is another guarantee for safety.

I just feel sorry for Ah Mei, who is going to be teased again by that kind-hearted guy who is actually full of bad things.

Thinking of Ah Mei's posture that Jun Fengxi always made her angry but had nowhere to vent, Li Ci's mouth curled into a smile that she didn't even notice.

However, after the joy is over, the sorrow is doubled, and the trip to the capital is a thousand mountains and rivers, and there are many crises...

……

……

The moonlight shed quietly, softly covering the two sitting leaning on the railing, the peach blossom petals floating and sinking in the clear water, in the haze, the boundary between the water and the flower could not be distinguished.

Chu Qing kept staring at the pool all the time, Jun Fengxi was within reach, but he didn't dare to turn his head to look.

The night wind blows slowly, and the mist that melts the breath of Jun Fengxi's sleeves fills the whole body, making people want to get drunk.

Uncle Shi's body was always filled with a peaceful and elegant fragrance, but unfortunately his gentle face was soaked with penetrating venom.

"...I... Did I really do something wrong?"

Finally plucking up the courage, Chu Qing spoke cautiously, lowering her eyes when she spoke, not daring to look at Jun Fengxi's almost transparent face under the moonlight.

From a long time ago, Chu Qing was afraid of looking into Jun Fengxi's eyes, those eyes were as gentle as autumn water, gentle and majestic coexisted, every inadvertent gaze would bring Chu Qing trembling from the bottom of his heart.

"You didn't do anything wrong, you just didn't see your heart clearly."

He spoke softly, his words were full of nostalgia and reluctance, and his hoarseness made people feel distressed.

Chu Qing couldn't help raising her head, and saw his gentle and caring smile.

He had never seen Jun Fengxi with such a humane expression, and the moment he saw it clearly, he felt heartbroken, as if he had lost something that he had cherished for lifetimes.

Can't bear to watch, but don't want to miss a detail.

Jun Fengxi stretched out her left hand towards the void, her elegant joints bent naturally, as if holding back the moonlight, covered with so much sadness that she knew she couldn't do it.

Because of this action, his smile also took on the bitterness of crying.

The moment the four eyes met, Chu Qing felt that his body was as light as a flower petal, and he wished he could float down into his palm.

His smile was so heavy that Chu Qing's whole heart fell into the bottomless darkness, just sinking, sinking endlessly, sinking without boundaries, confused, painful, desperate...

I, maybe I did something wrong.

In the end, only this emotion remained in his consciousness. Chu Qing could feel the loss of body temperature, and his body was slowly getting colder. He tried to raise his head and stared at the always smiling uncle——

He finally understood that what soaked his body and mind like ice water just now was the sadness that Jun Fengxi inadvertently flowed out when he invited the moon.

This faintly smiling person has become accustomed to burying the deepest and most painful emotions at the end of the iceberg, even forgetting the temperature of his body itself.

He... What has he been through, why is there such hopeless sadness?

Chu Qing, who was afraid of the collapse of his Dao heart just by touching a piece of wing, thought in shock, looking at Jun Fengxi's handsome and jade-like profile, he also had both love and awe.

Chu Qing remembered a rumor that he accidentally learned from his teacher.

"Uncle...could it be that the wife of Yangzhou Governor is..."

He spoke with a complicated expression, but because of Jun Fengxi's displeased glance, he hurriedly fell silent.

However, the expected blame did not come.

There was just a long sigh.

"...It's also my fault. Even if we meet again, I'm no longer the same person as before."

"But if Master Uncle——back then..."

Chu Qing tentatively spoke, but the few words just now convinced him that the man was exactly the man of great significance to his uncle.Although the words were plain, but looking at the uncle's expression, he also knew that he would never let go.

Thinking of her inadvertently being involved in an evil relationship between the past and the present, Chu Qing sweated like blood.

"In short, you'd better leave it alone!"

Jun Fengxi stood up, and there was even a touch of hostility in his words.Chu Qing knew that Jun Fengxi was his uncle in name, but in fact he had a different background. He only retreated when he found out that it was difficult, and he didn't dare to act like a car, but there were some things that he wanted to discuss clearly.

"That... the matter of the emperor's anger..."

"I have already informed the Queen Mother about the matter of the emperor's anger, and tomorrow there will be a letter from Feige ordering you to return to Beijing."

With Jun Fengxi's promise, Chu Qing felt relieved.After the incident during the day, he knew that the matter of Tianziqi involved a lot, which was beyond his ability.

It is naturally the best to be able to leave this wrong place as soon as possible.

"Thank you, uncle!"

He said happily, and was about to step back, but Jun Fengxi said: "When you return to Beijing...after that, you have to do something for me."

"Master, just take orders."

Chu Qing said attentively, he just wanted to leave Yangzhou earlier.

"The empress dowager ordered Ye Chuan, the general manager of Yangzhou, to come to Beijing to meet him. At that time, you will probably be arranged to meet Ye Chuan. You have to remember that after reading it, regardless of the result, you have to tell the empress dowager that Ye Chuan is ordinary-looking and has no wealth or wealth. In other words, at most he is just a general.”

"Chu Qing understands."

Chu Qing wiped his cold sweat and said, he was cautious by nature, and then thought of other possibilities, so he said: "This time, I am not doing well in Yangzhou, and the Queen Mother is suspicious by nature. I am afraid that I may not be the only one who meets General Ye. If General Ye Really rich and wealthy... Isn't it..."

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already made arrangements."

Jun Fengxi waved his hand wearily, asking Chu Qing to back down.

Seeing this, Chu Qing didn't dare to ask any more questions, and stepped back cautiously, but in the end he was guilty and unstable, and he was inevitably full of thoughts.

For some reason, he faintly felt that lying according to Jun Fengxi's will would not make him feel any guilt, and even a little bit of joy.

It seems that when Jun Fengxi smashed the golden armor talisman with his sword, he also felt the same joy.

...I... am I possessed by a demon, or... have I realized the Tao?
