The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Gu Jinchu smiled when she heard this, holding her belly with both hands, her eyes full of tenderness. "Yesterday's prenatal education was not very good, letting them see a bloody scene."

Master Jiang Wu leaned against the back of the carriage, put his arms around her waist, and let her snuggle in his arms.

With a doting look in his eyes, he said softly, "Why not? Their mother is so brave to protect their grandmother... When they grow up, they will also protect their mother in the same way."

When Gu Jinchu thought about his previous life, Cheng'en was so sensible, and his heart softened.

She had a faint smile on her fair and delicate face, and that brightness diluted the sadness she felt when she left the imperial city. She bowed her head and whispered, "The child of Master Wu and I will definitely be the best."

After hearing this, Jiang Wuye's smile deepened, like a bright star. He held her hand and kissed it on his lips.

He also lowered his head and said to her belly, "Your mother is praising your father. Did you hear it?"

Gu Jinchu placed his hand on his broad arm, turned his head to look at him, with a look of reproach in his eyes: "I... was clearly praising the children..."

"Well, I know..." Master Jiang Wu leaned over and pecked her lips, "They wouldn't have come without me. Jin Chu is praising me together."

After hearing this, Gu Jinchu couldn't help but blush, "You, don't let the children hear this."

Master Jiang Wu leaned there, a low laugh coming from his throat, but Gu Jinchu did not miss the fatigue in his eyes.

She carefully avoided the wounds on his body, and lay on his chest, with a worried look on her face, "Fifth Master, are you alright?"

"It does hurt a little here." Uncle Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and looked at her, frowning slightly, as if he was really feeling uncomfortable.

Gu Jinchu's face became nervous when he heard this. "Shall I ask Bai Zhi to bring the medicine box over?"

Master Jiang Wu took her hand and said with a smile, "Jinchu, kiss me." When he said this, he stared at her very seriously, his eyes full of expectation.

Gu Jinchu felt that there was no trace of lust in his words, he just wanted her to give him a hug or a kiss.

She leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips lightly.

Master Jiang Wu raised his hand and pressed it behind her head. He did not let her move away. He held her waist tightly and whispered in her ear:

"We still have a long way to go back to Gu'an, Jinchu, stay with me and sleep for a while..."

Gu Jinchu followed his instructions and rested her head on his neck, with his warm skin under her cheek. She raised her hand and patted his arm, as if comforting a child.

As Master Jiang Wuye breathed steadily, she closed her eyes.

Gu Jinchu woke up when she was held horizontally and found that Master Wu had wrapped his fur cloak around her.

She was wrapped up like a cocoon, with a hat on her head, leaving only her eyes exposed.

"Fifth Master, let me get down and walk by myself." Gu Jinchu struggled in his arms and negotiated in a low voice.

There was a hint of shyness and uneasiness in his eyes.

Master Jiang Wu carried her down from the carriage with green curtains, "Don't move. You just fell asleep. What if you catch a cold?"

The voice was low and gentle, leaving no room for doubt.

When the servants of Yuanyuan Hall saw their master coming back, they hurried over to pay their respects.

"Bring in some hot water." Master Jiang Wu gave the order without stopping, walking straight through the courtyard towards the main house.

He carried Gu Jinchu back to the inner room, gently placed her on the bed, and handed the cloaks on both of them to the servant behind him.

In the inner room, the bright and festive decorations from the wedding had been removed, and even the bedspreads on the bed had been replaced with light colors.

The maids and old women who came in to serve took off the new clothes they had put on to celebrate New Year's Eve and put on plain clothes.

"Fifth Master, Madam."

A little girl came in carrying a basin of hot water.

Master Jiang Wu took the handkerchief and personally washed Gu Jinchu's hands and wiped his face.

When he leaned over to help her take off her shoes and socks, Gu Jinchu blushed and raised her head to tell the servants, "Prepare hot water in the bathroom. Master Wu will need to take a bath later."

In his heart, he didn't want his servants to see Master Jiang Wu like this.

"I have to go to the palace soon. You lie down and rest for a while. I will be back in the evening." Master Jiang Wu held her feet, gently put them into warm water, and whispered.

Gu Jinchu only felt the warm water and his warm palms gently brushing her ankles, and felt him washing her feet gently.

She knew that the Fifth Master was going back to the palace to mourn, and only then did she realize that he was only there to send her back.

Gu Jinchu watched him wipe the water marks on her feet with a handkerchief and whispered, "Then Fifth Master, let me see your wound. You haven't applied medicine since yesterday!"

Master Jiang Wu placed her on the brocade mattress, stretched out his arm and pulled the brocade fur coat over her. When he leaned over, Gu Jinchu raised her hand and put it around his neck.

Master Jiang Wu looked her up and down, sighed softly, then turned over on the bed and let her bury herself in his arms.

He noticed that she put her hand on his collar, but did not refuse to stop her.

Gu Jinchu unbuttoned the right lapel of Master Jiang Wuye's shirt, and after slowly pulling open his collar, he saw that a hint of dark red had appeared under his shirt.

Her eyes instantly turned red and she sat up straight on the bed, her voice filled with accusation and dissatisfaction: "If I hadn't seen it, how long would you have let the blood flow?" She quickly asked Bai Shao to bring in the medicine.

Master Jiang Wu half-raised himself with his elbows, leaned against the railing of the bed, and said with a soft smile, "I was planning to wait until you fell asleep before I deal with it. It won't hurt."

Gu Jinchu wiped off the blood from the hideous wound on his chest and blew on it. Visibly, the muscle contours in front of him instantly became tense.

Master Jiang Wu gave a bitter smile and said, "Jinchu, you'd better apply the medicine to me..." Her gentle blowing was a challenge and torture to him.

Gu Jinchu's ear bone was stained with crimson, and he sniffed as he applied the medicine. It must be painful to have such a serious wound opened again.

As if he knew what she was thinking, Master Jiang Wu explained: "It doesn't hurt, it just looks serious. The flesh inside is healing, and the scabs are cracking..."

It would have been better if he didn't comfort her. Before Mr. Jiang Wu finished his words, Gu Jinchu's eyes were already red.

After she had bandaged her wound, Jiang Wuye put on his clothes with one hand and held her in his arms while he lay down, patting her on the back and whispering:

"... Father and mother are too old to go to the palace to mourn. You don't need to go since you are pregnant... Only my second brother and I will go to the palace. I will leave after you fall asleep. I will come back after you wake up."

Gu Jinchu nodded softly and put his arm around his waist.

She fell asleep in his arms soon.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by the sound of bells and drums outside the window.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sky was dyed orange-red, like a gorgeous painting.

In the banquet hall, the concubines of the previous emperor were dressed in plain clothes, with sad faces. Tears kept rolling down their eyes, and their beautiful eyes, which once had different expressions, were all stained with sadness and confusion.

The white curtains fluttered gently in the wind, and as the candlelight flickered, the light and shadows rolled on the wall with reluctance.

"Your Majesty!"

This sudden voice made everyone in the hall look towards the source of the sound.
