On her wedding day, Meng Lingge thought she would marry the top scholar Guan Yian and live a happy life of mutual devotion...
Chapter 194 Hidden Dangers
Wen Zhiming went along with her wishes, smiling very enthusiastically. When the beauty covered her mouth and chuckled, he quickly grabbed her hands and controlled them with one hand.
Looking at her bright red lips, as beautiful as peach blossoms, he lowered his head and kissed them.
His kiss was gentle, but Meng Lingge could hear his heart beating rapidly. As they embraced and kissed, she noticed that Wen Zhiming was even thinner than he appeared.
Two months ago, when she held Wen Zhiming, she touched his strong muscles and sturdy arms, but now all she felt were his ribs, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Meng Lingge mustered her strength and pushed him away again.
"I've been running around with the children and still managed to take good care of myself. Look at you! You're all skin and bones, thinner than a woman. Is being the King of the Northern Frontier so tough that you can't even get enough to eat?"
Wen Zhiming clung to Meng Lingge shamelessly, whispering against her jade-like neck, "Didn't I tell you in my letter that I couldn't sleep at night because of missing you, and that I was haunted by your thoughts? I couldn't eat or drink when you weren't by my side, but now that you're here, my appetite has returned. I promise to fatten myself up within a month and make sure you're satisfied."
The food and conditions in the military camp were certainly not comparable to those in the capital, but the food was still plentiful, and there was no way he, the commander-in-chief, would go hungry.
So he wasn't lying. The main reason he lost so much weight was because his wife wasn't around, so he had no appetite and no appetite. Another reason was that he had too much responsibility and too much pressure.
Meng Lingge knew that he had gone through a lot in the past two months, and although she complained, she felt a little sorry for him.
She lived comfortably in Jiangnan, free from the affairs of the capital, and with the company of her family from the Du family. Wen Zhiming, on the other hand, had to save his father and mother in the capital, endure hardship and bide his time, and outwit the emperor. Later, he led so many soldiers on a journey from the capital to this place. He had too many troublesome and exhausting things to do, and probably hadn't had a good night's sleep.
Meng Lingge shifted to a more comfortable position and nestled in Wen Zhiming's arms.
"I'm not feeling wronged at all marrying you. My mother has been hoping I could get pregnant, and now I need to tell her the news as soon as possible to make her happy. Father and Mother live near where you are, right?"
Wen Zhiming shook his head and said, "Father has been drinking too much and has harmed his health. He is unwilling to fight with the dog emperor. A few days ago, he left with Mother and the others, saying that he wanted to find a quiet place to live a peaceful life. Mother also told me before that she would come back to help us take care of the child when you are pregnant. However, she has only been gone for a short time, so I will send someone to inform her again in a few days."
When my father and mother left, he sent people to take them to a safe place. Now that it is a critical time, we should not let them change their whereabouts easily. If they fall into the hands of the dog emperor or the people of Lanyu Kingdom, it would be a loss.
"Did Father, Mother, Consort, and Wen Weizhu all leave together? Is the place they went to safe?"
Meng Lingge was very surprised. The Prince of Anshun and his wife only had this one legitimate son, and Wen Zhiming embarked on this path of rebellion largely because of his desire to rescue his parents. Now that he was isolated and in great danger, the Prince of Anshun actually abandoned his legitimate son and went to enjoy peace on his own.
Whether it was the twilight of a hero, the setting sun sinking into the mountains, or excessive drinking, leaving him powerless despite his good intentions.
As a junior, she didn't want to criticize her elders, but she was still very concerned about their whereabouts. Firstly, Princess Anshun treated her sincerely, and she was genuinely worried about her safety. Secondly, if they encountered danger, it would put Wen Zhiming under someone else's control again.
Wen Zhiming stroked Meng Lingge's hair with his fingers, his eyes brimming with love.
He couldn't easily discuss his personal matters with his soldiers, but now that his wife had arrived, he finally had someone to confide in and discuss things with.
“They went to a safe place. They originally left together, but Wen Weizhu changed her mind after leaving and refused to follow, so she stayed. She suffered some hardship while she was imprisoned, and she behaved indecently when the Emperor held my wedding banquet, which made her the target of ridicule. Now she always feels that someone wants to harm her and begs me to let her stay, saying that there are many people in the military camp and it is the safest place.”
He had never had a good impression of his second sister, and he also remembered that Wen Weizhu had framed his wife and had not been friendly to him before. However, when his father left, he begged him to take care of Wen Weizhu.
Furthermore, given Wen Weizhu's current situation, following her father and mother, she might cause even greater trouble. After considering it, Wen Zhiming agreed to let Wen Weizhu stay, but he always assigned someone to keep an eye on her.
At this point, he noticed Meng Lingge's brows furrow slightly, and his heart tightened. He quickly said, "My lady, before you came, I made a pact with her, telling her not to reveal your identity. If she dares to disrespect you or has any bad intentions, I will immediately lock her up and imprison her for life."
For the sake of his father and Consort Jiang, he could give Wen Weizhu a chance, but if Wen Weizhu dared to disrespect his wife, then he couldn't blame him.
His tension eased Meng Lingge's brows, and she chuckled softly, "My mother has already dealt with my past grievances with Wen Weizhu. My father and mother are getting old, so it's normal that Wen Weizhu doesn't want to go with them. As long as she doesn't have any intention to harm others, I will forgive her."
Wen Weizhu was vain and greedy. Having finally regained her freedom, she certainly wouldn't live a simple and peaceful life with Prince Anshun and the others. Instead, she clung to her brother's coattails, waiting for him to succeed in his rebellion so that her value would soar.
However, she is really shameless. When Wen Zhiming was infected with the Gu worm, she bullied her brother because he was stupid and teased him repeatedly. Now that Wen Zhiming has the ability, she can immediately forget the bad things she did and shamelessly seek to rely on him.
Meng Lingge is not worried that Wen Weizhu will make trouble for her now. Wen Zhiming is not the same as before. Wen Weizhu knows that Wen Zhiming cares about her and is too busy trying to please her. She wouldn't be foolish enough to offend her and seek her own death.
However, Wen Weizhu is inherently selfish and greedy, and she will inevitably scheme against others for her own benefit. Keeping her in the military camp will always be a hidden danger.
However, Wen Zhiming is now a regional commander. Since her husband has already agreed to keep Wen Weizhu, if she causes him to change his decision because of something that hasn't happened, it will inevitably harm him and make him seem like he's going back on his word.
So for now, we can only let her stay. Fortunately, Wen Weizhu is not very cunning, and her methods are not very sophisticated. As long as Wen Weizhu dares to make a move.
Anyone who makes a move will be caught.
Her identity won't cause any major problems for the time being, so it's better to be careful and wait for Wen Weizhu to lose her composure.
Before she can even speak, Wen Zhiming will deal with Wen Weizhu himself.
Of course, if she was wrong and Wen Weizhu really changed her ways and was willing to behave herself, that would be even better.
Meng Lingge's raised eyebrows and gentle smile were incomparably beautiful, making Wen Zhiming's heart itch with desire. However, he had been rejected by Meng Lingge twice today, and now that Meng Lingge was pregnant, he dared not make any more advances.
He then planned to lure his wife into bed and coax her some more.
"Alright, let's not talk about other people's business. My wife arrived so late, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Let me take you to have a meal, then you can take a good bath and rest together, shall we?"
