Chapter 89
Chapter 89
Su Le'an's attitude made Zhou Mohuai a little at a loss, he didn't know what to do.
In the end, the talk broke down. The key point is that Su Le'an didn't want to talk to Zhou Mohuai at all.
As for what Zhou Mohuai said, why it was only him and not others, Su Le'an also found the answer, that is, it didn't take long for others to take the bait after looking at him, such as Cao Langrui, such as Duan Yan.
Zhou Mohuai is quite special, no matter how he acts, he can be indifferent, so he used the method he least wanted to use, but Zhou Mohuai is not keen on this kind of thing.
But now that Zhou Mohuai likes him, he is no different from other people, and there is no fun in it.
Su Le'an slept very soundly.
But Zhou Mohuai couldn't fall asleep no matter what. He did what Butler Li said and tried his best to treat him well, but he was still indifferent.
He did everything he could, but who knew that Su Heng would pop up halfway and ruin all his efforts.
But he is also to blame for this matter. If he hadn't been drunk and that kind of thing hadn't happened, maybe Su Le'an wouldn't have resisted him so much.
Zhou Mohuai left the town alone with a heavy heart.
It seems useless to continue begging in such a humble way, but it's just being rejected by Su Le'an several times.
Cao Langrui received Duan Yan's secret letter, took a look at it and burned the letter.
He is already the emperor, but he still speaks so freely. If someone with a heart knows, it will inevitably make a big fuss.
Su Le'an didn't see Zhou Mohuai after getting up early, so she felt much better, and even teased Long Luo a few words.
Cao Langrui has the habit of getting up early, so before Su Ke'an got up, he went to the shop.
Chu Yu followed behind Wu Ruosheng.
"Come back with us? The new emperor is enthroned, and a new batch of killers is going to be selected." Wu Ruosheng looked at Su Le'an and said.
Su Le'an nodded. As usual, he should go in with the group of newcomers, and then get rid of those with ulterior motives. Only those who survived can be officially selected by the Killer Pavilion.
Wu Ruosheng squeezed Su Le'an's small face: "You don't have internal strength now, don't act rashly, if you are in danger, retreat immediately, don't be greedy."
"Understood." Su Le'an knew the danger of selecting candidates in the Assassin Pavilion, even if he had internal strength, he didn't treat the selection as a joke.
Chu Yu and Wu Ruosheng looked at each other, Su Le'an didn't seem very happy, although he acted very happy.
As his master, they knew his character well. No matter whether he was happy or unhappy, he could quickly adjust his state so that no outsiders could see the clues.
On the way back to the Assassin's Pavilion, Su Le'an was silent for a while, and Long Luo sat beside him, his heart sank.
He can be so unhappy, it must be because of Zhou Mohuai, there is no one else but him.
"You should stay and take care of Cao Langrui. After all, he is pregnant. What's the use of you following me." Su Le'an said lightly.
"The child belongs to Duan Yan, not mine. Why should I take care of it? I just want to take care of you." Long Luo said as he bent down and took out a pastry from under the carriage chair and handed it to Su Le'an.
"Don't be sullen, eat something to fill your belly."
Long Luo has nothing to say to Su Le'an, but Su Le'an regards him as his nephew from the beginning to the end, without any crooked intentions.
"By the way, your junior brother will also come, and he also needs someone." Wu Ruosheng said.
Su Le'an sighed again and again: "There are few qualified people, but he still wants to grab it, really."
"Aren't you the one who saw the Chinese merchant back then? Why do you hate him now?" Wu Ruosheng laughed.
Originally, I thought that the pair of brothers and sisters would be able to get along in harmony, but who knew that Huashang actually had such thoughts.
As the emperor of Huashang, if Su Le'an marries him, he will be trapped in a golden cage and will never be able to fly in the sky again.
For others, the queen's position is worth giving up everything, but in Su Le'an's eyes, that position is nothing...
In the small town, Cao Langrui stretched his waist after finishing the accounts. His body couldn't run around for a long time, so he didn't go with Su Le'an.
He originally wanted to go back to Jiangnan, but there were too many variables along the way, so he could only stay and wait for the child to be born safely.
Duan Yan wrote to ask him to return to the capital to raise the baby, and then discuss it after the baby is born.
He is not stupid, if he stays in the capital and waits for the child to be born, he will not let him take the child away.
So he planned to give birth to the baby in the small town, and then take the children away that day.
Even the emperor has no reason to openly rob children.
Cao Langrui's abacus is as good as it is.
After all, he was facing a fox, so he had to be fully prepared.
Duan Yan waited in the capital for more than half a month, but there was no news at all. In the end, he could only put aside his government affairs and go to the town in person.
Cao Langrui was sitting in the shop with an abacus and warm water on the table.
"Please go inside to see the cloth." Seeing someone coming, the deputy shopkeeper rushed forward to greet him.
"No, I'm looking for your shopkeeper."
Cao Langrui looked up when he heard the voice, "Why are you here?"
Duan Yan was wearing a fine attire, holding a folding fan in his hand, standing in front of the door gracefully.
"You have such a stubborn temper. After writing so many secret letters, you just refused to return to Beijing, so I had no choice but to come to greet you in person." Duan Yan walked to Cao Langrui, and glanced at his stomach from the corner of his eye.
Cao Langrui fiddled with the abacus quickly with his fingers: "I will not go back with you, no matter what you say."
Duan Yan took out a sealed agreement from his sleeve.
Cao Langrui glanced at it.
"Are you sure you won't snatch the child from me?" Cao Langrui said indifferently.
Why is he so unbelievable?
Duan Yan nodded: "If you don't want to give it to me when the time comes, I won't. It's not a problem to grab it hard, and it will hurt face."
Cao Langrui thought about it for a while, and finally put down the calculation and stood up.
"First, I don't like people to disturb me. Second, if there is nothing important, you can't disturb me casually. Third, I will leave as soon as the child lands. You must not stop me." Cao Langrui added three more clauses to the agreement.
Duan Yan nodded.
Anyway, he couldn't let him raise the baby alone in the small town, if something happened, it would be too late to regret it.
Although the imperial palace is not as free as the small town, it is at least safe and protects him and his children.
Cao Langrui stood up holding his belly. His belly was bigger than the average person, probably because the man was pregnant.
When Wu Ruosheng left, he told him to walk steadily and slowly, not to get angry, and not to stretch himself too hard.
He had also seen pregnant women before. Most of the ladies from rich families lay on chairs, and they generally wouldn't walk around unless necessary.
As for those who have no money, they still grind the mill and sow millet the day before giving birth.
He didn't want to become the former, so even if he went to the palace, he couldn't just lie idle on a chair and wait for someone to serve him all day long.
Duan Yan helped Cao Langrui get into the carriage slowly.
On the carriage, he couldn't help reaching out and gently touching Cao Langrui's stomach.
It's a wonderful feeling but I can't describe it.
Cao Langrui was left speechless by his stupid appearance, isn't he just a child, if he wants to have one, he can find a hundred people to live for him at any time.
"By the way, it's best to wait until after my child is born before you draft, otherwise I will feel annoyed." Cao Langrui added.
After all, after the draft, a group of women entered the palace. In order to stabilize their status, the means were not very clean.
Naturally, he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt him, but he also didn't want to have blood on his hands when he was pregnant.
"I have no idea of drafting." Duan Yan said: "It's my first time with you, I know you won't believe it, but it is true."
Cao Langrui completely took this sentence as fart, tormented him, tossed him to death, and said it was the first time, bah, shameless.
"I've seen the intrigues in the harem before. I don't want to participate in it and be that poor guy, so I plan to abolish the draft." Duan Yan closed his eyes after finishing speaking.
He read the memorial until midnight yesterday, and today he left early to pick up Cao Langrui in the town. Now that he was sleepy, he couldn't keep his eyes open.
Cao Langrui moved aside so that Duan Yan could have a place to lie down.
How can it be so easy to be the emperor, since Duan Yan became the emperor, he smiled less and became more stable.
This is the price of being the emperor. I really don't know that he should be the emperor instead of being a good little prince.
What good is it to trap yourself in the imperial city.
Cao Langrui was pregnant, coupled with the bumpy carriage, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach after sitting for a while.
He lay directly on the carriage, but he was afraid that the carriage would be unstable and hit his stomach, so he had to carefully protect his stomach.
Duan Yan was originally lying on a chair, but when he saw Cao Langrui lying directly on the carriage with his hands covering his stomach, he also lay down.
"What are you doing?" Cao Langrui yelled at the people behind him dissatisfied.
Duan Yan put his hand on Cao Langrui's stomach: "Protect my son."
"..."
If there are other excuses, he can find a way to refuse, but he can't refuse to protect his son. After all, this child is his right.
When Duan Yan thought of that ridiculous night, his breathing became a little tight.
"Get lost." Cao Langrui gritted his teeth and said, "You're pissing me off."
The place was not big, and he didn't have much space, so when the carriage moved, he would yell at him, which was very uncomfortable.
Duan Yan stretched out his hand and pressed it, and changed his position: "You can't blame me, you're lying."
"Shameless." Cao Langrui whispered.
Duan Yan touched Cao Langrui's stomach with his hand: "Yes, yes, I am the one who is shameless, and I am the one who pestered you."
"you..."
Cao Langrui knew he couldn't be angry, so he adjusted his breathing, otherwise it would affect the baby in his stomach.
"It's fine if you turn around, I can protect your stomach and make you more comfortable." Duan Yan stretched out his arm as he said.
Cao Langrui was really sleepy, so he didn't think much about it, he just thought he wanted to protect the child, so he lay his pillow on his arm and fell into a deep sleep.
Duan Yan opened his eyes and looked at Cao Langrui. Although his facial features were not as delicate as Su Le'an's, they were still pretty.
Cao Langrui still protects his stomach with his hands, and his long eyelashes move uncomfortably occasionally.
Duan Yan put his hands on Cao Langrui's waist.
It was so unbelievable that they had a child together, as if in a dream.
If he didn't have this child, would he think of Cao Langrui or his body? At that time, it was the latter.
Duan Yan felt that he was a bit of a jerk, not to mention that good people were ruined by him, and now they have their children again.
How could he understand the pain.
Cao Langrui didn't know how long he had slept. When he opened his eyes, he was carried into Xuande Hall by Duan Yan.
This is the emperor's bedroom. He originally just wanted to find a random courtyard and live there alone to raise his baby.
Duan Yan returned to Xuande Hall after handling the government affairs.
"Don't look at me with this expression, I just want you to live more comfortably, other palaces are too feminine, you must not like it." Duan Yan said and sat by the bed: "Do you want dinner?"
Cao Langrui has no appetite since she became pregnant and almost vomited whatever she ate.
"I want to drink sour plum juice and spicy meat slices." Cao Langrui said.
Duan Yan rubbed his chin, what kind of food is this? It's sour, and some are spicy. Will it make the stomach feel comfortable when mixed together?
Seeing Duan Yan hesitated, Cao Langrui continued, "Since I was pregnant, this is the only way I can eat."
Duan Yan reached out and touched the top of Cao Langrui's head: "Thank you for your hard work."
Cao Langrui slapped his hand away, this gesture was too intimate, he was not used to it.
Duan Yan asked his father-in-law to go to the imperial dining room to prepare.
Cao Langrui put on his shoes and simply rinsed his mouth with tea.
Fortunately, it is the palace, even the tea for gargling is first-class tea.
Duan Yan supported the bed with one hand and watched Cao Langrui sitting on the chair slowly. Although his stomach bulged slightly, it didn't affect his temperament in the slightest.
Cao Langrui was pregnant and couldn't drink tea, so Duan Yan asked his father-in-law to pour him a pot of water first.
Cao Langrui didn't speak, Duan Yan didn't know what to say, the two sat quietly, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, the imperial dining room prepared meals quickly, and after a while, the palace servants entered the Xuande Hall with sour plum juice and spicy pork slices.
Cao Langrui took a sip of sour plum juice first, with a satisfied look on his face, like a cat eating fish.
Duan Yan walked over to take a sip and then put it down. It was too sour, and I don't know how he could stand the taste.
Cao Langrui ate spicy pork slices with rice, and had to drink a sip of sour plum juice from time to time.
Duan Yan accompanied him quietly, seeing that he was hot and sweaty, he couldn't help but took out a handkerchief to wipe him.
"It's okay to eat less of this food, but if you eat it every day, it will definitely hurt your stomach." Duan Yan said.
Cao Langrui glanced at Duan Yan: "Other than these, I can't eat a single bite. I can't starve myself to death."
After finishing speaking, Cao Langrui put down his chopsticks, took a peach from the fruit plate and took two bites.
Duan Yan didn't say much.
"Do you want to take a bath? There are natural hot springs in the palace, go soak in it." Duan Yan suggested.
Cao Langrui doesn't feel sleepy just after waking up, and it's good to soak in the hot spring.
So Duan Yan took Cao Langrui to the harem, Fuchi Hall, and the hall was steaming.
The palace people tried the water temperature after cleaning their hands.
"Your Majesty, the water temperature is just right, you can take a bath." Several palace people gathered around.
Cao Langrui's face changed, his stomach was already showing pregnancy, he didn't want others to see him as a monster.
"You all retreat, you are not allowed to come in without my order."
"Yes."
The palace people retreated in unison.
Cao Langrui looked at Duan Yan puzzled: "Aren't you going out?"
Duan Yan shook his head: "I've been tired all day too, please let me relax too."
Cao Langrui was speechless. If he had known this, he would not have come and let him soak alone.
Now that everyone has come, looking at the steaming hot spring, Cao Langrui's heart itch.
In the end, I decided to stay in the hot springs.
Duan Yan slowly took off Cao Langrui's clothes, then helped him into the pool carefully.
Cao Langrui sat down slowly, the water was very clear, so he had to take the cotton cloth aside and cover his stomach to cover the important parts.
Duan Yan was not as cautious as he was, sitting carelessly beside him, something was swinging back and forth with the water.
"..."
Cao Langrui turned his head away from looking at him.
Duan Yan can also be regarded as a fierce general who has fought on the battlefield, and there are many large and small wounds on his body, which have added a lot of masculinity to him.
"I didn't expect the wound to be so big, and it would be so hideous after it healed." Duan Yan stretched out his hand and put it on his leg: "If I had been slower at the beginning, this leg would have been chopped off by everyone."
Hearing this, Cao Langrui couldn't help turning his head to take a look.
I saw a hideous scar on Duan Yan's thigh. Although it was an old wound and the wound had healed, but in terms of the extent of the injury, as Duan Yan said, if he slowed down, the leg would be gone.
"I'm similar to Zhou Mohuai. I have no father or mother, and I have no other way out. I can only go to the battlefield and fight my way out." Duan Yan leaned against the stone edge next to the hot spring.
Although it is easy to say, it is easier said than done. On the battlefield, the fight is life and death. If one is not careful, it is easy to die on the battlefield.
Tigers also have miscalculations, let alone humans.
Cao Langrui listened quietly.
At this moment, his stomach suddenly moved, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look.
"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable?" Duan Yan asked nervously.
Cao Langrui said with some embarrassment: "No, no, it's just that the child in my belly is naughty."
Duan Yan lowered his head to look at Cao Langrui's stomach. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his stomach was visibly moving.
He couldn't be more careful to put his hand on Cao Langrui's stomach.
Suddenly his hand seemed to be kicked by the fetus.
He was so happy that he almost grinned the corners of his mouth behind his ears.
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Cao Langrui couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I'm a little dizzy, I'd better go out first."
Although Duan Yan was reluctant, he still nodded and helped Cao Langrui stand up.
"You wait for me." Duan Yan walked a few steps quickly, brought a blanket and wrapped Cao Langrui directly in it.
"The water will be more or less cold, and it will be troublesome if you catch the wind and cold." Duan Yan carried Cao Langrui into the warm room.
In the warm room, Cao Langrui was dressed by Duan Yan.
"Why didn't I think you were so caring before." Cao Langrui regretted it after finishing speaking, why did he say this.
It's not that he is not caring, but that he is only caring to Su Le'an.
When he thought of Duan Yan who was busy before and after, he couldn't help laughing, but of course he wasn't much better.
Duan Yan raised his head to meet his crescent-shaped eyes, and couldn't help his throat throbbing.
"Okay, wait for me to put on my clothes and go back together." Duan Yan hurriedly concealed his discomfort.
After he got dressed, he helped Cao Langrui out.
When they came, they took the dragon chariot, but Cao Langrui didn't want to sit when they went back.
So Duan Yan accompanied him on the palace road.
"Time flies so fast." Cao Langrui couldn't help but said.
When he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he often ran to the palace.
Duan Yan supported him and walked slowly: "Hurry up? Why do I feel that the previous days were very difficult."
Cao Langrui looked at Duan Yan: "Probably because the things you plan are too heavy, that's why you feel that life is difficult."
Cao Langrui stopped after walking for a while.
Duan Yan knew that he couldn't walk anymore, but with his strong character, he definitely wouldn't take the initiative to say it.
"I'm a little tired, let's take the dragon chariot." Duan Yan said.
Cao Langrui nodded, making a look of reluctance.
After returning to the Xuande Hall, Cao Langrui walked in with the help of the palace servants.
Duan Yan did not follow in.
They get along pretty well.
Cao Langrui was lying on the bed, maybe because he slept too much during the day, maybe because the hot spring was too comfortable, so he couldn't fall asleep all the time, and he didn't even feel sleepy at all.
The palace people guarded the door and waited for Cao Langrui's orders at any time.
Cao Langrui pushed open the door with some embarrassment: "Go to the imperial dining room and bring me a plate of sour cake."
The palace people nodded and walked on.
Cao Langrui sat in the yard in the middle of the night, eating sour cakes and watching the moon.
Cao Langrui suddenly felt nauseous when he ate the second piece. In the end, it wasn't just the sour cake, he couldn't even keep the dinner.
Pregnancy is like this, it’s okay to eat the right ones, but if you don’t eat the right ones, you’ll spit it out immediately, and he doesn’t feel anything wrong.
After throwing up, I rinsed my mouth and went back to sleep.
In the morning, when he saw that the waiters had changed, he thought it was a change of shift, so he didn't think much about it.
But when he learned that it was because Duan Yan knew that he had punished those palace officials, including the sour cake maker, for his morning sickness yesterday, he felt a little sorry.
So he went to the imperial study after breakfast.
If some people had to be punished every time he vomited, it wouldn't take long for everyone in the palace to be completely offended by him.
Duan Yan was talking with the Minister of Rites, when he saw Cao Langrui coming, he waved to him.
Cao Langrui entered the imperial study with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
After all, it wasn't that long ago that they worked together.
The Minister of Rites was taken aback when he saw Cao Langrui, and then saluted respectfully.
Cao Langrui was even more embarrassed.
Duan Yan stood up and looked at Cao Langrui and said, "What's the matter, did you have breakfast? Is there something uncomfortable?"
Cao Langrui shook his head: "I don't know that the emperor is busy, the Caomin will come at another time."
Duan Yan gave Minister of Rites a look.
"The minister will leave first." The Minister of Rites walked down.
Cao Langrui looked at Duan Yan with a grim expression: "Morning sickness is nothing but normal, the emperor should stop punishing the palace servants by fussing."
Duan Yan supported Cao Langrui and motioned him to sit down.
Cao Langrui glared at Duan Yan: "Your Majesty, this seat is not the place for ordinary people to sit."
Duan Yan was very uncomfortable listening to this one-by-one grassroots. He has their children, so why is he a grassroots.
