The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The cause was the dispute between Jiang and Xu that had been going on since last year. Although Jiang Xiangzhi was executed in public at the beginning of spring, Lord Xu was still not satisfied.

His son Xu Sanlang was a living person who died in vain for a long time, and it was not until now that Jiang Xiangzhi was dealt with. How could Lord Xu swallow this?

After the Crown Prince left, the court was once again divided into two factions. Prince Yu and his former brother Prince Rui checked and balanced each other, and the situation gradually became equal.

Originally, Prince Yu naturally looked down on Prince Rui and did not think he had any ability, but he underestimated his enemy and underestimated Prince Rui's understanding of him over the years. In political affairs, Prince Rui often secretly made things difficult for Prince Yu.

Furthermore, Concubine Xiao had been ill for a long time and naturally could not take charge of the affairs of the harem. At this time, Concubine Yu was pregnant with the heir, and the Emperor was overjoyed. Before the fruit was ripe, he directly made her a concubine and ordered her to take care of all the affairs of the harem.

Suddenly, the wind in the palace changed drastically. Concubine Xiao was no longer in control of the harem, and Prince Yu was restricted in every way and felt powerless.

The matter of Jiang Xie had been delayed for a long time, and Prince Yu had made enough money from Jiang Xie, so he planned to kill him secretly. However, he did not expect that someone got there first, and together with Lord Xu, they reported all the corruption between him and Jiang Xie to the emperor.

Prince Rui even pulled out physical evidence of Prince Yu's collusion with the Qinghe Sect, as well as the whereabouts of the stolen official silver.

The prince colluded with the rebel party, which not only brought shame to the royal family, but also caused turmoil in the government and the country.

The Emperor was so anxious and angry that he fainted. After waking up, he immediately ordered people to seal Prince Yu's mansion and ordered everyone to enter but not leave.

In the evening, You Mu, who was in Cangzhou, received an urgent letter from Yan Cheng, which basically said that the news sent from Kyoto was that the emperor was seriously ill and urgently needed the prince to return to Beijing to take care of things.

"Brother, what if we go back?"

Inside the tent, Lou Jian was wiping the prince's wet hair beside a wooden barrel. The training ground was all muddy, and dust stuck to clothes from daily footsteps.

Every night the prince had to take a bath before going to bed.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait a moment." The testimony has been delivered to Prince Yu. If he goes back now, wouldn't he be ruining Prince Yu's warm-up show?

Leaning his arms on the wooden edge, You Mu used an oil lamp to burn the letters he had received.

"Will brother take a rest tomorrow?" He had been busy for a long time and saw how hard the prince worked. Even though his wounds had healed long ago and the scabs had fallen off, Lou Jian did not dare to mention the last time.

When Lou Jian said this, You Mu suddenly remembered that he still owed her a loan and had not been able to pay it back. He couldn't just forget what he had promised that day.

Playing with the water with his hands, You Mu did not respond directly. Instead, he stood up, stepped out of the barrel and put on his clothes.

In the past, he would just put on his inner clothes and go to bed, but this time he put on an outer coat and a waist belt. Lou Jian was puzzled: "It's late at night, brother, you want to go out?"

"Go prepare the horse." After tying his belt, the prince turned around and hooked Lou Jian's collar, leading her forward. "I almost forgot. What do you think?"

The breath touched his cheeks, and his blood rushed up in an instant. Lou Jian hurriedly opened the tent and went out to find a horse. However, he was too anxious and only led one horse over, forgetting that there were two of them.

But it didn't matter. The two of them rode on one horse and left the parade ground in the night.

The galloping of horses' hooves raised a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, there was no trace of the two men in the training ground.

Rushing into the city in the night, Lou Jian hurriedly knocked on the wooden door of the drugstore, woke up the waiter who was about to fall asleep, and took out a small jar of winter hand ointment.

When they arrived in Cangzhou, Lord Yan bought a courtyard for the prince as a temporary place to stay, but he was busy training the troops and getting to know his soldiers as quickly as possible, so You Mu came to this house only a few times.

The sound of galloping horses suddenly stopped. The red-maned horse with the reins loosened had not yet adapted. It took a few steps forward, then slowly settled down, landed under the tree in front of the yard, and lowered its head to nibble on the new sprouts of grass and trees.

The door was pushed open and then suddenly closed by gravity. The weight of the two people pressed on the door panel, causing the slightly rusty bolt to squeak.

He leaned sideways and stood firmly on his feet, but Lou Jian mistakenly thought that the prince was trying to dodge, so she held his cheeks and ears and chased after him.

The sound of silk rubbing against each other was so light that even the sound of it sliding off was silent.

The bodies are close and the hearts are even closer. The burning heartbeats seem to be closely attached to each other, and even the frequency of the fluctuations gradually become consistent. The heat is like a cluster of candle flames, gradually burning, spreading and encouraging each other, generating a heat that covers the whole room.

You Mu's legs were almost tripped by his robe, and he stumbled and fell to the side of the bed.

The gauze curtain swayed and slid down layer by layer, collecting all the invisible flames inside.

The breathing sound next to his ears was a little too obvious. You Mu hugged Lou Jian's back and tried his best to calm his heaving chest.

A burst of sweet osmanthus fragrance came, rich and warm, captivating the heart and instantly filling the entire bedroom.

This is an ointment I bought on the way to prevent skin cracking.

There are many kinds of scents of this ointment, but Lou Jian was anxious, so she picked one at random, paid the silver, and left in a hurry without taking a closer look.

Among the fragrances of flowers and plants, the most flamboyant is the scent of osmanthus. Although the flower shape is small, like the broken stars in the Milky Way, it is sharp and reveals its fragrance wantonly, wanting to announce its blooming to the world.

It is quite suitable for today's letter.

Because of You Mu's promise, Lou Jian was not as restrained as usual this time. There was a hint of haste and rashness in his behavior, which he did not conceal.

Together with the floral scent he smelled when he opened the lid, they all so strongly occupied You Mu's entire mind.

The cream melted on the skin, and the fragrance soaked into the skin. Cangzhou is different from Kyoto, and the climate is drier. On weekdays, women in the city like to use this kind of skin care products to maintain their hands.

It not only makes the skin moisturized and white, but also leaves a fragrant touch, making it the first choice for women to maintain their skin.

At first, You Mu's face was not good, but accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and the comfort of Lou Jian, he barely managed to not kick the man away.

You will feel better after it eases a little.

You Mu was a little overwhelmed, but was forced into a corner, unable to move forward or backward. He wanted to curse out of habit, but his voice was broken and his words were muddied.

With their palms pressed together and their index fingers interlocked, the body temperature of the two people warmed the cold wall. The breath exhaled from their mouths and noses made the wall in front of them damp.

The Lou Jian behind him did not listen to the lecture like in the past. His mumbling voice was no longer clear and pleasant. It was too low, carrying too many inexpressible meanings.

Lou Jian pulled the prince's slightly sweaty palm and pressed it against her cheek, rubbing it flatteringly.

"My brother once said that fierce dogs are wild and don't listen to training..." This is what the prince said in the private prison that day.

"now......"

Lou Jian was naturally aware that she was arrogant because of her favor, but because of this honor, she could talk nonsense without restraint.

"Shut up."

These words were unpleasant to the ears. You Mu was unhappy and reached out to cover Lou Jian's mouth.

"Brother, don't talk. I won't say anything."

The window had a small gap, and it couldn't be fastened tightly. The night wind slipped in through the gap, blowing up the gauze curtains, but it only blew up a corner of the bed.

Beyond the layers of gauze, one can only glimpse a few beautiful shadows.

Outside the window, a full moon passed through the sky. Occasionally, a bird would sing in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, startling the helpless horse that fell under a tree.

The horse shook its tail to drive away the flying insects beside it and continued to sleep soundly.

The night is still long, and since you need to rest, why bother about getting up in the morning?

......

Early morning, in the Purple Palace.

Emperor Chen leaned against the bed and drank the medicine handed to him by Concubine Yu bit by bit.

Prince Yu was so angry about something that his liver rage was raging and his heart and lungs were burning. He fell ill suddenly and felt extremely tired.

"Prince, have you received the letter?" Emperor Chen asked Concubine Yu while drinking the bitter medicine.

"Eunuch Song sent someone to escort him out of the palace early yesterday morning. According to the time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be on his way back now."

Concubine Yu's voice was still soft and soothing. She glanced sideways at Eunuch Song who was standing beside her, and spoke in detail.

"Okay, you don't have to take care of me anymore. You're pregnant, and if you pass on your illness to the fetus..."

"What's the harm? Your Majesty is the emperor, and the child in my arms is the son and daughter of the emperor. If I am worried about even this little bit of illness, how can I take care of your Majesty's child?"

Concubine Yu put down the medicine bowl, took Emperor Chen's hand and placed it on her abdomen, asking Emperor Chen to feel the fetal movement.

The faint movement inexplicably touched the soft corner of Emperor Chen's heart. He looked at Concubine Yu, who was standing by the bed in her clothes, and stroked her cheek with his hand, sighing:

"You're always so thoughtful."

"I was worried that I was not as good as the palace servants and could not take good care of you... Your Majesty fainted suddenly before, and I was really worried, so I didn't dare to leave for a moment. Fortunately, I watched Your Majesty wake up and everything is fine."

Concubine Yu leaned lightly on Emperor Chen's shoulder and spoke with a tearful tone, still feeling scared of Emperor Chen's previous situation.

Listening to Concubine Yu's words, the Emperor put his hand on Concubine Yu's shoulder and patted her to comfort her:

"How can those slaves compare with you? Okay, I'm fine. I'm pregnant. Have you forgotten what the imperial physician said? Don't get emotional."

Reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of Concubine Yu's eyes, the Emperor Chen said again: "Don't cry. Aren't you afraid that I will be unhappy if you cry ugly? Take good care of your pregnancy. I will protect you and our child. Don't worry."

Concubine Yu responded with a nasal tone, bursting into laughter, and leaning on Emperor Chen's shoulder. After receiving the promise, she stroked her belly with great satisfaction, and asked in a low voice: "The imperial physician said that it might be a prince. Your Majesty, will you like our child?"
