Pei Xiuyan never knew that a person's despair could reach this level.
Even when Ye Chuyan died, he had never been so desperate.
At least, Ye Chuyan at that time completely belonged to him.
Now Ye Chuyan is pregnant, with Wu Mu's child in her belly.
How did Ye Chuyan get pregnant with this child after being so entangled with Wu Mu every day?
Just thinking about this scene made him so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.
He didn't know what to do with the kid.
He couldn't accept Ye Chuyan giving birth to other people's children, especially Wu Mu's.
He didn't dare to abort this child.
He promised Ye Chuyan that he would never hurt her again, and he would never break his promise again.
If she aborts the child, she will definitely hate herself again.
He stood there in a daze, his neck stiff, and he slowly turned his head to look at Ye Chuyan.
Ye Chuyan was lying on the bed with a look of shock on his face.
Pei Xiuyan said hoarsely to the imperial physician who was kneeling on the ground, "Are you sure?"
The imperial doctor said solemnly: "Back to the emperor, the happy pulse is the most common pulse condition. I will definitely not make a mistake in diagnosis."
He was originally a gynecologist who treated diseases in the harem. He was so familiar with the Ximai pulse that he could not make a wrong diagnosis even with his eyes closed.
However, he could now conclude that the child in the queen's belly was definitely not the emperor's.
He lay on the ground in fear, praying secretly that the emperor would not kill him in anger.
Pei Xiuyan's joy when he entered the room just now was gone. He seemed to have aged instantly, full of vicissitudes of life and sorrow.
After a long time, he said in an extremely dry voice: "If there are rumors about what happened today, I will kill you without mercy."
The people in the room were so frightened that they hurriedly responded.
Pei Xiuyan staggered and left Kunning Palace in a panic.
The room was left full of shivering palace maids and eunuchs, and an imperial doctor lying on the ground.
Ye Chuyan was immersed in huge shock and was completely unaware of Pei Xiuyan's departure.
She didn't come to Kuishui during this period, thinking it was because she missed Wu Mu, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant.
She was physically unable to get pregnant before, but now she has never thought about it. Based on careful calculation, she should have been conceived during the time on the Dibu ship.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked the imperial doctor on the ground: "Is... is the pulse of Ximai stable?
The imperial doctor raised his head and met Ye Chuyan's face. I found that she was very thin and her face was painfully pale, but her eyes were full of surprise.
He hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Back to the Queen, your fetal pulse is very good. Except for the severe ecstasy, you don't have any symptoms. You just need to pay attention to rest and recuperation."
Ye Chuyan unconsciously put her hands on her stomach, her heart beating wildly.
Unexpectedly, she would have the opportunity to be a mother in this life.
She has a child, her and Wu Mu's child.
When she thought of this, she became elated.
The joy lasted only a moment before her eyes dimmed.
Pei Xiuyan would not allow her to give birth to this child.
He would never allow himself to give birth to someone else's child, let alone Wu Mu's.
Besides, he is still the emperor.
For an emperor, it was a great shame and humiliation for a concubine in the harem to give birth to someone else's child.
Ye Chuyan's wildly beating heart suddenly fell silent.
She said in a daze: "You all go down."
Everyone in the room quickly left.
Ye Chuyan took out the blood-red jade pendant that Dibu gave to Wu Mu from under the pillow, and kept saying to the jade pendant: "Wu Mu, I'm sorry."
"sorry."
"sorry."
"I...I may not be able to protect our child."
She wanted to give birth to this child so much.
See if it's a boy or a girl, and see if it has a pair of eyes as bright as Wu Mu's.
She wanted to hear her child call her A-Niang, and she also wanted to hear her child call Wu Mu Dad.
She wanted to watch her children grow up. She wanted Wu Mu to teach her children martial arts, and she wanted to teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Unfortunately, this matter will never be possible in this life.
She and her child will soon become separated from each other.
She and Wu Mu will never see each other again.
Wu Mu will never know in this life that he once had a child of theirs.
Her tears slowly slid from both sides of her cheeks to her ears, and finally dripped into her neck.
"Husband, I'm sorry."
She could do nothing. She could only pray that Pei Xiuyan would force her to have an abortion later, so that she could spend a few more days with the child in her belly.
※
At this time, the frontier military camp was thousands of miles away.
Wu Mu is practicing the red tassel spear in the open space.
He was wearing a silver armor and looked majestic. Holding the red tassel gun, he jumped up in the air, stabbed down with the first thrust, and struck the ground like a bolt of lightning, then jumped up again in an instant.
The whole person and Hongying Gun almost merged into one.
There was a circle of soldiers surrounding him, cheering loudly.
"good!"
"Well done to Mr. Wu!"
"Wu Zongqi is so skilled!"
Since Pei Xiuyan succeeded in seizing power, the 200,000 troops brought by Shen Duangui did not have to go south to suppress the rebellion, so they stayed here together.
Beirong saw that the overall situation in Dafeng was decided, so they had no choice but to stay within their own defense lines and did not dare to invade again.
This made the soldiers at the border breath a deep sigh of relief. With the New Year approaching, everyone's face is filled with joy these days.
If this continues, everyone can have a good year in peace and stability this year.
In the past few days, the soldiers like to gather around the newly arrived Wu Zongqi after lunch and watch him practice.
This new Wu Zongqi is only about twenty years old, and his skills are astonishing.
He looks like a kid from a rich family, but he doesn't have the arrogance of a kid from a rich family. He is handsome, calm and introverted, and extremely cheerful when getting along with others, which makes him very popular among the soldiers.
No one knew where he came from, but they only knew that he knew General Shen, and that Shen Duangui also favored him. He became the commander-in-chief as soon as he arrived. Although his official position was not high, he was much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
He didn't want to say his name, so everyone called him Wu Zongqi.
He would practice martial arts in the open space every day after eating. Not only was he good at swords, spears, axes, sticks, knives, and halberds, he was also very proficient in them.
Watching him practice martial arts is a pleasure.
Therefore, after lunch every day, it became a common practice for the soldiers to come here spontaneously to watch Wu Zongqi practice martial arts.
Shen Duangui walked slowly to the back of the crowd, put his hands behind his back, looked at Wu Mu flying over the open space, and shouted loudly: "General Wu's flag."
The crowd of onlookers turned their heads and saw Shen Duangui behind them, and they all saluted.
Shen Duangui waved his hand and dispersed the crowd.
Wu Mu stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Shen Duangui.
"General Shen, are you looking for me?"
Shen Duangui is about thirty years old this year. He is handsome and handsome, but he doesn't like to talk or smile.
He looked Wu Mu up and down.
When Wu Mu was training in the military camp as a child, he was still a naughty boy who didn't understand anything. He always felt that Wu Mu was like his younger brother. After not seeing each other for several years, he has matured beyond his imagination.
It has only been ten days since he came here, and he has already fully integrated into it.
Now his face is resolute and he has become a qualified soldier.
He was wearing armor, had bright black eyes, and looked like a handsome young general.
After Shen Duangui looked at Wu Mu, he couldn't help but nodded slightly with approval on his face.
Although Pei Xiuyan seized power, he was a qualified emperor.
He re-established the cabinet and promoted many poor scholars with no background, allowing the common people to see a way out.
He did not kill Wu Mu because he married the former Qing princess, but let him guard the border, which was equivalent to retaining a fierce general for Dafeng.
For this reason, Pei Xiuyan will definitely become a wise king in the future.
Shen Duangui took out the hand behind his back and handed Wu Mu a letter.
"A letter from your home."
Wu Mu happily took the letter and said sincerely: "Thank you, General Shen."
Shen Duangui patted Wu Mu on the shoulder, "You bastard, why are you being polite to me? There are many people here, so go back to your own room and take a look."
Wu Mu thanked her again and hurried back to her house with the letter.
He had practiced here when he was a child and was very familiar with General Shen and Shen Duangui here. After arriving here, he insisted on starting from the smallest soldier.
Shen Duangui knew the reasons why he came here, and thought it would be a pity to let him become a soldier, so he asked him to start from the general banner.
Although I only manage more than fifty people, I can have my own house.
At night when no one was around, he could quietly miss Ye Chuyan in the room.
After Pei Xiuyan arrived here, he released the Wu family as promised.
Wu Yuelin sent a letter saying that everything in the Wu family was fine. Now turning over 70%25 of the income to the national treasury is equivalent to doing business for the country. You can safely and boldly develop and expand the Wu family, and you no longer have to worry about anything.
This made everyone in the Wu family very happy. Being able to buy peace with money is a dream come true for Jian Shou.
All this now makes him very satisfied.
He secretly told Wu Yuelin everything about himself and Ye Chuyan, and asked Wu Yuelin to help him find out Ye Chuyan's whereabouts without telling everyone else.
The Wu family can develop with peace of mind, and he can protect his family and the country. If he can find Ye Chuyan again, he will really have nothing else to seek in this life.
Wu Mu hurriedly returned to the house and opened the letter. It was Wu Yuelin's handwriting.
She said in the letter that everything was fine at home, her parents were in good health, and there was no need to worry about them.
Let him perform well on the frontier. If he makes great achievements in the future, he might have the opportunity to return to Kyoto.
A sentence was added at the bottom of the letter: unsuccessful.
Wu Mu felt sad and happy after watching it.
I am happy that everything is well in the Wu family, but sad that the search for Ye Chuyan has not yielded any results.
He was afraid that the letter would reveal his search for Ye Chuyan, so he would burn it every time he read it.
After burning the letter, he took out Ye Chuyan's wood carving from a box in the house and started rubbing it.
"Ayan, where are you?"
The Chinese New Year is almost here, it’s freezing outside, and the weather is cold. Ye Chuyan has no family, where will he go alone?
Can she eat and sleep well?
Wu Mu didn't dare to think about it, and her heart ached when she thought of these things.
When can he find his Ayan again?
