Wu Mu stood at the door of Prince Qing's Mansion, feeling confused.
A few days ago, Shen Duangui called him into the room and gave him a secret letter from the palace.
After reading it, his hands and feet were shaking.
The letter was written by Pei Xiuyan.
The letter said: Ye Chuyan did not forget him and entered the palace voluntarily.
It was Ye Chuyan who exchanged himself for the peace of the Wu family and his life.
Ye Chuyan is pregnant and is the heir of the Wu family.
If he could wait at the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion on time at a quarter past noon on New Year's Eve, he would have a chance to take Ye Chuyan away. And he was exempted from the punishment of stationing on the border for life, and he was freed.
Otherwise, he will never see Ye Chuyan again.
However, whether Ye Chuyan can be taken away depends on Ye Chuyan's own wishes.
After reading the letter, he went crazy, said nothing, grabbed a horse and drove back as hard as he could.
He no longer remembered how many horses had been killed on the road.
He traveled day and night, and finally returned to Kyoto this morning.
He hadn't shaved in the past few days, his face was full of vicissitudes of life, and his body smelled a little smoky.
He was afraid of scaring Ye Chuyan, so he found a random inn, freshened up, changed into a new set of clothes, and then hurried here.
Today in Kyoto, there is heavy snow and the cold wind is biting.
Wu Mu did not hold an umbrella, and could not feel the severe cold of the Western Zhou Dynasty at all.
He stood at the closed door of Prince Qing's Mansion, his heart almost jumping out of his mouth.
He had so many things he wanted to tell Ye Chuyan.
He wanted to ask Ye Chuyan why he was so stupid?
Let her live well, how could she be so stupid as to take the initiative to enter the prison in the palace for herself?
Seeing that it was already noon, there was still no movement at the gate of Prince Qing's Mansion.
Wu Mu kept rubbing her hands and pacing back and forth nervously.
He kept taking deep breaths and secretly told himself that Pei Xiuyan was the king of a country and he would not lie to others.
Ayan will definitely come out.
His hands and feet were shaking wildly uncontrollably.
He stamped his foot hard, trying to control his useless hands and feet.
But the more you control it, the less you can control it.
He simply crossed his two hands fiercely and covered his heart.
His eyes were fixed on the door in front of him.
Quietly waiting for the arrival of the quarter of noon.
The door of Prince Qing's Mansion finally creaked, and Wu Mu's heart jumped suddenly.
The door slowly opened a crack, and a fiery red petite figure rushed out, and she threw herself into Wu Mu's arms like a whirlwind.
Holding his waist, she said coquettishly: "Husband, take me home."
Wu Mu wanted to rub her into his heart. When he thought that she was pregnant, he didn't dare to use force, so he had to hug her shoulders gently.
Finally, the thousands of words in my heart turned into one sentence: "Madam, let's go home."

(The following is a plot specially added for the purpose of giving out sweets. It’s the Chinese New Year, let’s not be cruel, and have a happy reunion.)
Kyoto, Wu Family Villa.
Although the courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, there was no New Year atmosphere.
After the Wu family was released, Wu Yun Tai took everyone back to his hometown in Jiangzhou to celebrate the New Year.
Mrs. Wu stayed in prison for a while, and her body and bones were a little tired. She couldn't bear the torture, so she stayed in Kyoto.
Wu Yuelin also stayed here to take care of her.
They were the only two in the other courtyard, so they simply gave annual leave to all the servants in the courtyard, leaving only a few loyal old servants to serve here.
The courtyard is large but very cold.
Wu Yuelin stood under the eaves of the main house, looking up at the falling snowflakes in the sky, thoughtfully.
Mrs. Wu came out and stood side by side with her, looking at the white ground with stars in her eyes. So many emotions.
"I wonder how my son is doing at the border?"
"It's colder there than Kyoto, can he bear it?"
"He was naughty when he was a child. He didn't choose anything to eat or drink. He always said that he didn't have a rich life, but it turned out to be a prophecy."
"Obviously he is the richest young master in our Dafeng, but his life is miserable."
"Your father threw you to the military camp for training when you were a child, and you suffered a lot."
"I learned from experience. Because of Ye Chuyan's marriage, I went out and wandered around for three years in anger."
"I finally came back, but I still can't forget Ye Chuyan. I married her corpse, but was forced to wander again."
"After wandering for half a year, he has a new emperor and he has to garrison at the border again. He will never be able to come back."
"How many days do you think this child has been blessed?"
Mrs. Wu burst into tears when she spoke, but Wu Yuelin burst into laughter.
"Auntie, why do I feel that my brother is not the richest young master of the Wu family in Dafeng, but the stupidest fool in Dafeng?"
Mrs. Wu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said sadly:
"No."
"Your mother and I have been smart all our lives, but in the end, we gave birth to a stupid son."
Wu Yuelin smiled slyly.
"Mom, if my brother comes back and wants to marry Ye Chuyan, do you agree?"
When Mrs. Wu saw Wu Yuelin's disgusting look, she burst into tears and smiled, patting her hand lightly.
"If my son could come back, I would be willing to marry the deceased Mr. Ye, not to mention Ye Chuyan."
"The hatred for seizing my wife is irreconcilable. The emperor's ability to spare his life is an act of mercy beyond the law. How dare I expect him to come back."
"I just thought that after the New Year, when the weather gets warm, while my body can still move, you accompany me to the military camp to see him."
"In this life, I don't expect him to marry, have children, and make contributions to the country. If he can live safely, I will be Amitabha..."
When Mrs. Wu said this, she started to sob.
Wu Yuelin hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Mom, stop crying."
"Today is New Year's Eve. It's New Year's Eve. Can't you say something nice?"
"Why is Amitabha Buddha the only one who can live safely? How unlucky."
Mrs. Wu raised her head and glared at Wu Yuelin, smiled and cursed:
"Then what auspiciousness do you mean?"
"Say some nice words to make my mother happy."
“Of course it’s most auspicious to have the whole family reunited!”
A clear and clear male voice came over.
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, she seemed to hear Wu Mu's voice.
She hurriedly looked up to the west and saw Wu Mu holding a girl who looked exactly like Ye Chuyan under the long corridor in the distance, smiling at her.
Mrs. Wu's eyes widened, she grabbed Wu Yuelin's arm and said excitedly: "Yue'er, is there something wrong with my mother's eyes?"
"Why did I see your brother come back with Ye Chuyan when he was a girl?"
Wu Yuelin waved his hand to Ye Chuyan and said with a smile:
"Brothers and sisters, why don't you come and say hello to my grandma?"
Ye Chuyan and Wu Mu looked at each other and smiled.
Siblings? Grandma? What a wonderful word, she has relatives.
She was no longer alone.
She pulled Wu Mu and ran quickly to Wu Yuelin and Mrs. Wu, her eyes turning into crescent moons as she smiled.
He said crisply: "Aniang, Ajie. I am Wumu's wife, and my name is Ye Chuyan."
Wu Mu held Ye Chuyan in one hand and Mrs. Wu in the other. As she walked, she said, "Mom, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
After entering the room, Wu Mu recounted all the experiences from when he and Ye Chuyan met in Beirong to now.
Mrs. Wu burst into tears when she heard this. He kept sighing, "It's so hard for you two, a pair of miserable couple."
"It's good to be together."
"It's good to be together."
She took Ye Chuyan's hand, patted it gently, and choked with sobs: "Ayan, when Wu Mu said he wanted to marry you when he was a child, his father and I both thought he was overreaching."
"He is a bastard, how can he be worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Ye family. I didn't expect that you would still marry him."
The last time Ye Chuyan saw Mrs. Wu was on the day she fell into the water on February 2, when Mrs. Wu helped to save him. I was so distressed that I shed tears and told myself to change clothes quickly.
She didn't expect that in less than a year, this kind-hearted woman would become her mother-in-law.
What a wonderful fate.
"Auntie, I'm the one who surpassed Wu Mu, and he never disliked me."
Wu Mu suddenly interrupted: "Ayan, stop being so modest."
"It's inappropriate for you to leave Queen Beirong and Queen Dafeng alone and marry a bastard like me."
"My grandma is right, I am indeed the one who has climbed high."
Wu Yuelin couldn't help but giggle at these words, and she said to Ye Chuyan:
"My mother-in-law said just now that she gave birth to a stupid son. In fact, she didn't know that her son stole the wife from two monarchs. He is not stupid at all and is smarter than a monkey."
Mrs. Wu saw Wu Mu looking at Ye Chuyan with nostalgia, "You bastard, you are promising. If you dare to snatch a woman from the emperor, see what you can do."
"If you have the ability to have two babies in three years, your mother-in-law will also become a grandmother."
Ye Chuyan's stomach was very calm today. After hearing Mrs. Wu's words, the fetus in his belly seemed to be telepathic and immediately began to stir.
Ye Chuyan covered her mouth, ran to the door quickly, and started retching like crazy.
Wu Yuelin quickly handed over a glass of water, while Wu Mu patted Ye Chuyan's back, feeling heartbroken.
"Madam, are you okay?"
The three people were in a panic at the door. Mrs. Wu sat in the room dumbfounded.
After a long time, he let out a shocking cry.
"Ayan...are you happy?"
Wu Mu turned to look at Mrs. Wu, nodded solemnly, and said seriously: "Mom, don't you want to have two babies in three years?"
Mrs. Wu's face turned red with excitement. She stood up immediately and walked quickly to the door. Seeing Ye Chuyan's pale face and red eyes due to vomiting, she hurriedly ordered: "Ayan, hurry up, hurry up, lie down on the couch... first take a break."
With that said, she insisted on helping Ye Chuyan go to the bed to rest. Ye Chuyan didn't have the nerve to let Mrs. Wu support him, so he supported her with his backhand.
The two of them supported each other and walked to the bed.
Wu Yuelin quickly helped Ye Chuyan take off her shoes and helped her lie down on the bed.
"Wu Mu, why don't you go out and find a doctor to see if there is any good way to stop Ayan's vomiting."
Wu Mu stood nearby, wanting to help, but couldn't get in. Now after hearing Wu Yuelin's order, he immediately responded:
"Oh, oh, I'll go now..."
"Sister, Aniang, I will leave my wife to you."
Before he could finish his words, he had already run away.
When Wu Mu ran away, Mrs. Wu said to Ye Chuyan who was lying on the bed: "Ayan, don't dislike my silly son. He gets confused easily when he is nervous."
Wu Yuelin handed over a glass of water with a smile on her face, "Ayan, drink some water first. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll ask the shopkeeper of Zuiqiu Tower to bring it over now."
Ye Chuyan looked at Wu Yuelin and Mrs. Wu who were smiling beside the bed.
Tears welled up in her eyes like crazy.
Not only does she have relatives, they are also so kind to her. There is no disdain at all for her having been married before.
He didn't dislike the suffering she had brought to Wu Mu.
Wu Yuelin is not as lonely and cold as usual, but lively and enthusiastic.
Mrs. Wu was not dignified, but kind and kind.
She must have spent the first half of her life suffering in exchange for the warmth of this moment.
Seeing that Ye Chuyan's eyes were red from crying, Wu Yuelin asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
Mrs. Wu suddenly realized. "Son, did Wu Mu bully you? Tell Aniang, and Aniang will take it out on you."
Ye Chuyan sniffed.
"No, I feel too happy."
"I suddenly gained so many relatives."
When Wu Yuelin heard this, he laughed and laughed.
"Are you so happy to see my mother and I today? When you give birth to the child, I will take you back to the Wu family in Jiangzhou. Then you will know how many relatives our Wu family has."
Mrs. Wu sat beside the bed, wiping Ye Chuyan's tears and comforting her: "Yue'er is like this. She looks like a normal person in front of outsiders, but she is just a crazy girl at home. You can get used to it in the future."
Wu Yuelin pretended to be angry.
"Auntie, if you arrange things like this for me, I won't be able to get married in the future."
"Your brother is already married and has children, but you haven't gotten married yet. I think you might as well just stay at home and be an old girl for the rest of your life."
"Auntie, during the Chinese New Year, have you ever cursed your daughter like this?"
"This is not called a curse, this is called a prayer. Don't think I don't know. Every time you burn incense, you ask the Buddha for blessing, so that you will never get married."
"Auntie, how could you eavesdrop on me praying to Buddha? You are being disrespectful to me."
"You've almost written it on your face that you don't want to get married, why should I eavesdrop?"
Ye Chuyan was lying on the bed, watching Mrs. Wu and Wu Yuelin bickering with each other. She had the illusion of returning to the Ye family.
When the Ye family was still alive, this was how she, A-niang, and her two brothers talked.
They argue without scruples, expose each other's shortcomings, dislike each other, but love each other from the bottom of their hearts. This is family.
"Madam, the doctor is here!"
Before the Wumu people arrived, the voice arrived first.
Wu Yuelin and Mrs. Wu immediately stopped fighting and turned to look at the door together.
Wu Mu dragged a thin old man in.
Ye Chuyan was stunned for a moment, Doctor Wei.
This was the same Doctor Wei who had diagnosed her pregnancy at the Qing Palace, and Wu Mu had asked him to bring her medicine.
Wu Mu pushed Doctor Wei in front of Ye Chuyan, pressed him on the fallen bench, and urged: "Doctor Wei, please see how my wife is doing?"
He just went out to look for a doctor and searched around because today was New Year's Eve and many medical clinics were closed.
Thinking that Doctor Wei, who had asked someone to deliver medicine last year, had good character and medical skills, he went to try his luck. Unexpectedly, Doctor Wei was really in the medical clinic.
Doctor Wei also remembered Wu Mu. Hearing that his wife was not feeling well, he followed him without saying a word.
After Dr. Wei sat down, he took a deep breath for a while and then looked intently at the person on the bed.
Seeing this, I was shocked.
The person on the bed was almost exactly the same as the original Princess Ye Chuyan of the Qing Dynasty, except she was a few years younger.
But Ye Chuyan had been killed long ago, and the Ye family was gone.
He suppressed his sigh and put his hand on Ye Chuyan's pulse. After condensing his eyebrows for a while, his eyes lit up and he said, "Congratulations, madam, you have a happy pulse. It's almost two months old."
Wu Mu scratched his head, "I know my wife is pregnant."
"I asked you to come because she was too happy. How can you make her feel better?"
"It's all my fault. When I brought you here, I forgot to make it clear on the way."
Doctor Wei looked at the bright-eyed young man in front of him, who was awkward and a little shy, and couldn't help but laugh.
Last winter, he diagnosed Princess Ye Chuyan of the Qing Dynasty with a happy pulse. However, within one day, Ye Chuyan had a miscarriage and remained infertile for life.
Later, Ye Chuyan was bombed to death in Dali Temple.
Although the girl in front of her looks exactly like Ye Chuyan, she is much happier than her.
Her husband's hands and feet were trembling with worry all the way because of her unhappiness.
Her eyes were full of joy and her face was filled with bright light.
Same appearance, completely different fate.
Doctor Wei saw Wu Mu staring at him nervously, and said helplessly: "Your wife is fine..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Mu suddenly turned his back to everyone and started retching crazily.
Everyone was shocked.
Doctor Wei quickly grabbed his wrist and took his pulse.
Seeing that Dr. Wei didn't say a word and his expression became more and more serious, Ye Chuyan almost burst into tears.
"Doctor Wei, my husband...what happened?"
She finally went through a narrow escape to be with Wu Mu. If something happened to Wu Mu, she simply didn't know what to do.
Mrs. Wu and Wu Yuelin had nervous faces, and their hands were tightly held together.
Wu Mu's heart felt cold. He didn't want to die young, he wanted to grow old together with Ye Chuyan.
He saw three women and one man in the room, all eight eyes staring at him.
Doctor Wei deliberately cleared his throat, and then said to Ye Chuyan calmly: "It doesn't matter, your husband is just like you, he's just happy."
Wu Mu and the three women in the room screamed at the same time.
"What?!"
"Happy?!"
