Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 218: Feathers Like Cuts and Colors Like Dyes (2)
Sure enough, after a few glasses of wine, Yan Rong wiped his mouth and said, "She's pregnant..."
Yu Fengjin was slightly startled, then smiled lightly and said, "This is a good thing."
With that said, he picked up the jug and filled him with wine.
Yan Rong poured a glass of wine down his throat and said in a deep voice: "This child is so unexpected. For the relationship between Yu'er and I, having a child is not a blessing but a disaster! I'm in a mess right now!"
"
"Since you have skin-to-skin contact, she will naturally have children. What's the surprise? You are too sensitive." Yu Fengjin
"Brother, do you know how I got here these past few months?" Yan Rong lowered his head and asked in a muffled voice.
"Although you have never told me, I know that you are not feeling well! Otherwise, you wouldn't hide here so often." Yu Fengjin put down the book, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
For some unknown reason, ever since he learned of Yu'er's identity, he had deliberately avoided dealing with Yu'er and Yan Rong.
Concern leads to chaos.
"If she is just an ordinary woman, even if I don't like her, once I have a child, I will be very happy and I will treat her well! But she is just a pair of eyes that the emperor placed beside me. I really can't be sincere
Treat each other." Yan Rong took a sip of wine.
"When it comes to being a wife, Yu'er is very good! She is virtuous, kind, resourceful, and takes good care of me! Moreover, she has read some books and occasionally chats with her. I think she is quite knowledgeable! But when I
When you know that this is all just acting, those feelings change!"
Yan Rong drank several drinks in an attempt to get drunk, but the more he drank, the more sober he became.
"Every day we pretend to be a harmonious couple and treat each other like guests. Every time she smiles at me, I feel threatened. Every word I say to her must be thought out in advance. We are walking on thin ice and are cautious.
I’m afraid that if something goes wrong and the other party gets ahold of it, I’ll die without a place to die!”
Yan Rong held his forehead and murmured in a low voice, his expression seemed to be in pain.
"The hatred between adults should not affect children. Children are innocent." Yu Fengjin smiled deeply and patted him on the shoulder.
Yan Rong seemed to have not heard and complained to himself: "I am hiding here because I am afraid of sleeping at home! I am afraid that when I fall asleep, the sleep talk I say will reveal the secret. When I wake up, I have already
The head is in a different place!"
Yu Fengjin's brows trembled slightly, he understood this feeling deeply.
Yan Rong wiped his face and continued to vent his words: "For me, that place is not home, but a battlefield! I have to work hard every day to fight with her every step of the way!"
Thinking about how to paralyze the enemy and hide myself, while thinking about how to reveal the information to her! How can I calmly raise a child with her in this kind of life! I really can't do it..."
"Since you can't do it, don't force yourself." Yu Fengjin poured herself a glass of wine and clinked glasses with him: "Thank you for your hard work! It's all because of me that this matter has reached this point.
I suffered a lot!"
Yan Rong drank three more cups in a row before saying in a deep voice: "It's not my fault, brother! Since I decided to take such a path in the first place, I have nothing to regret. It's just that I am very confused now. I have lived with Yu'er for so long.
, I can’t bear it. But I’m also afraid that this is a trap set by the emperor. So I want to hide here temporarily and then think about the next step.”
"That's fine." Yu Fengjin sighed softly and said warmly: "When your mind is unstable, any decision you make will be wrong. Then let's calm down for a while first."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, and Bei Xiaobei's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, Mr. Murong from the caravan needs to see you in an emergency!"
Yu Fengjin and Yan Rong glanced at each other. King Yi quickly shouted: "Come in!"
"Let him come in!" Yu Fengjin ordered.
The door opened, and Murong Yanzhao strode over and bowed deeply: "The common people came to visit late at night, I hope your highness will forgive you!"
Seeing his hurried expression, Yu Fengjin hurriedly asked: "It's okay, I haven't gone to bed yet. I just see that your face is not good, but what happened to the caravan?"
"It's not a caravan, it's Lu Ning!" Murong Yanzhao took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Hearing that something happened to Lu Ning, Yu Fengjin felt nervous. She quickly took the letter and opened it in a hurry to read.
While he was reading the letter, Murong Yanzhao explained to Yan Rong: "After the civil war in Annan, we received the task of escorting the refugees. But something went wrong on the way. All the refugees and caravan brothers died and disappeared.
Later we found out that they were no ordinary refugees, but the prince who had fled from Annan."
"Prince?" Yan Rong was shocked, half of his drunkenness had receded.
Murong Yanzhao took a breath and continued: "The young gang leader immediately rushed to investigate after learning about the incident. Unexpectedly, he discovered that there was a traitor in the Lingzhou branch! This person not only ruined the reputation of the caravan everywhere, but also colluded with the local government to commit many evil acts.
The young gang leader found out what this person had done, which might implicate His Highness, so he immediately wrote a letter and asked the old man to come and read it——"
"The mountains in Lingzhou are high and the roads are far away, how could it be related to His Highness?" Yan Rong was puzzled.
Yu Fengjin put down the letter and her face darkened: "Don't forget, the mining rights of Lingzhou Iron Mine are in my hands. If someone does evil in my name, I will not be able to escape his involvement."
"Who is so bold and dares to disturb Tai Sui?" Yan Rong slammed the table and stood up, his face had already changed color.
"As long as the benefits are big enough, people will be willing to take risks!" Yu Fengjin held his shoulders and asked him to sit down again.
"Yes." Murong Yanzhao took over the conversation and continued: "Lingzhou is a place with high mountains and far away from the emperor. Of course, His Highness cannot control it if he stays in Shengjing all year round."
"Yan Rong, do you remember that a few months ago, Eunuch Dexi sent us a letter from Lingzhou!" Yu Fengjin quickly calmed down.
Yan Rong rolled his eyes and exclaimed, "Does brother think there is any connection between these two things?"
Yu Fengjin's face was as dark as water, and she said seriously: "I can't see any involvement at the moment, but I have to think so."
"Brother, what are your plans?" When it came to King Yi, Yan Rong became very anxious and completely forgot the purpose of coming here today.
Yu Fengjin pursed her lips tightly and turned the ring on her thumb, seeming to be deep in thought, but did not answer.
Murong Yanzhao took the opportunity to bow to him deeply: "Your Highness, Lu Ning is investigating alone in Lingzhou. The situation must be very dangerous. Since the matter involves the Yamen and the army, I am worried that it is far beyond her ability. I hope Your Highness can ignore it.
I can help you if you have previous suspicions!"
After saying that, he held his knees and slowly knelt down.
"Sir, what are you doing? Please get up quickly!" Yu Fengjin was shocked and quickly leaned over to help him up.
"Mr. Murong does not need to kneel to me, we are already an alliance, right? When I was in trouble, Lu Ning sacrificed his life to save me many times. Now that she is in danger, how can I stand by and watch?"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Murong Yanzhao bowed his head again before slowly standing up.
Yan Rong was a little worried: "Brother, you can't leave Shengjing, how can you intervene in this matter?"
Yu Fengjin pondered for a moment, then said: "Then find a way to get out! It's not a difficult task! Without further ado, I have to go see Wang Su now!"
"Then what can I do?" Yan Rong stood up and pointed at himself.
Yu Fengjin smiled slightly and said, "Go back and say goodbye to Yu'er. If nothing else happens, you will have to leave Shengjing for a while!"
After that, he put on his fox fur, ordered Bei Xiaobei to prepare the carriage, and hurriedly left the villa.
----------------------------------------
It is a rare autumn day when the sun shines brightly and the sky is clear. The golden glazed tiles of Ziwei City shine brightly in the sunshine, making the magnificent palace complex even more grand and bright.
The atmosphere in Zichen Hall is particularly relaxed and comfortable.
Emperor Yu was leaning on the couch in his regular clothes, looking at Man Tingfang who was sitting upright with a smile.
When Eunuch Shuangxi came to serve tea, Emperor Yu sat up lazily and said, "The fact that you have had a son in your old age in recent days has been spread all over the world!"
Man Tingfang quickly applied it deeply
Li Chengcheng said in fear: "Ashamed, ashamed! Only with God's mercy can I have a son in my old age. I don't dare to make too many mistakes. I hope I can accumulate blessings for my young son!"
Emperor Yu smiled lightly: "Sit down and talk, don't be formal."
Eunuch Shuangxi brought an embroidery stool and placed it in front of Emperor Yu. Man Tingfang sat down solemnly, her eyes lowered.
"Did your wife give birth to this son?" Emperor Yu asked casually.
"Back to the Emperor, my first wife died early, and this son is the son of my stepmother!" Man Tingfang answered truthfully.
Emperor Yu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said: "If I remember correctly, I mean.
However, Emperor Yu was very interested: "It seems that you are destined to this worldly master. Do you know where this person is now?"
Man Tingfang quickly bowed and answered truthfully: "Back to the Emperor, when I entered the palace today to meet the Holy Spirit, this Taoist priest insisted on coming with me. He also said that Your Majesty would definitely summon him today. He could not keep the Emperor waiting for a long time. I thought that
He has gone crazy again. If the emperor wants to summon him, I will announce his entrance immediately!"
"Oh? There really is such a divine person who can figure out this matter. I must meet him today! Come in quickly!" Emperor Yu's eyes shone, and he seemed a little excited.
