Chapter 36: Jun Xin Chuan [Revised] I have had too much, and I have lost more than...

"General, this mountain spring is the only source of water entering the palace." Yan Yicheng said that this palace had been built as early as the previous dynasty. When they decided to come here to offer sacrifices to heaven this year, the Yan family was responsible for renovating the palace and cleaning the water source.

But today, someone suddenly reported that some suspicious people were seen near the water source. Fearing something unexpected might happen, Yan Yicheng hurried to report it to Yan Huinan.

Yan Huinan instructed the water monitoring department to test the water quality here, and the results showed that there was no problem.

But in case someone else wanted to tamper with the water quality, Yan Huinan ordered the water source here to be cut off, and requisitioned the wells of fifty households, and inspected the quality of all water transported into the palace before transporting it in.

Suddenly, Yan Huinan spotted a figure flashing through the dense forest.

“Who is it?”

The forest was already surrounded by them when they came to check the water quality. The man must have been trapped because he did not leave in time.

Yan Yicheng immediately led his men to chase after him, and Yan Huinan was about to catch up as well, as this concerned the life and safety of everyone in the palace.

Si Wen received another piece of news. Behind him stood the soldier who came to deliver the message.

Yan Huinan frowned and said, "Speak."

The soldier's expression was grim. "General, Miss Han Zhen said that Madam... fainted from excessive blood loss."

-

After receiving this news, Yan Huinan handed over the investigation of the back mountain affairs to Yan Yicheng and Si Wen. He was now in a state of panic, and his only concern was that nothing happened to Xie Yun!

If anything happens...

He didn't dare to think further.

Xie Yun fainted after leaving the Queen's Palace. The Queen's Palace was not far from the place Yan Huinan had just investigated. He arrived there in half a cup of tea.

Seeing Xie Yun's frail body lying in a pool of blood, the scene deeply shocked Yan Huinan. Panic spread throughout his body. He rushed over and hugged Xie Yun with a heartbroken look. The blood from her body soaked Yan Huinan's palms.

Yan Huinan had touched scorching blood countless times before. This was the first time he felt it, hotter than flames, burning every inch of his skin.

Han Zhen followed behind and cried, telling her what had just happened in the queen's bedroom.

"I don't know... I don't know what the Queen gave Madam to drink. General, Madam..."

Yan Huinan had no time to care about Han Zhen. His voice was hoarse and he growled, asking someone to call the imperial physician.

And like a whisper, he comforted himself over and over again, Xie Yun would be fine. She would be fine.

Xie Yun lay in his arms as if weightless, thin to the point of being just bones, her face pale and painful, which deeply tugged at Yan Huinan's heart. What had he done before?

The brief time he spent waiting for the imperial physician's treatment felt like half of Yan Huinan's life. He had witnessed his mother's death before his eyes, and he couldn't bear to think about what would happen to him if anything happened to Xie Yun today...

Every nerve in his body was tense and about to break.

Yan Huinan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the imperial physician announced that Xie Yun was fine. He had been holding the box of lychee incense he was planning to give to Xie Yun with a sense of loss.

But he didn't have time to send it out because he had an argument with Xie Yun.

"But Madam must have taken an excessive amount of contraceptive soup. Madam has been weak lately, and this contraceptive soup contains safflower, a small amount of which has the function of activating blood circulation, which is why it can achieve the effect of contraception. But this is also why Madam is bleeding so much."

Yan Huinan looked at Han Zhen, who had stiffened when he heard the imperial physician mention the contraceptive soup, because the contraceptive soup was what his wife had been drinking.

She knelt on the ground, trying to remain calm: "Madam didn't drink too much, she vomited a lot. Is Madam really okay?"

At that moment, anger and fear filled Yan Huinan's brain, and the hostility around him reached its peak.

What surprised Han Zhen the most was that Yan Huinan did not continue to ask her.

Yan Huinan led his troops to surround the queen's bedroom without hesitation.

Behind the queen is Song Hongxuan and the imperial power.

There is only one reason why the queen did this.

He knew that Song Hongxuan was coming for him. Greed, anger, and ignorance were things that people could never get rid of.

However, Yan Huinan had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. No matter how angry he was, he would not really lose his mind. If he didn't have a brain to keep himself thinking clearly at all times, he would have died countless times on the battlefield.

Song Hongxuan was a timid and cowardly man who knew nothing about martial arts, riding or shooting. If it weren't for Yan Huinan, he would not have been able to sit on the throne.

But in fact, he is now skilled in strategy, scheming, and good at governing the country. He is a rare good emperor who governs the country well.

Yan Huinan himself was interested in the wider world of Jianghu, not the higher realms of government. He felt that the world was of no use to him, and he was unwilling to throw himself into the turbulent world of the imperial court.

The days of being with the emperor were like being with a tiger, or being constrained by others. Once the throne was taken, while possessing supreme power, one would also be imprisoned for life. This was not what Yan Huinan wanted.

But if anything happened to Xie Yun today, he wouldn't mind making a big fuss about it.

The moment Si Wen pushed open the door of the Queen's bedroom, Yan Huinan saw the Queen sitting beside the crib, patting the baby's back to coax him to sleep.

What a warm and loving scene. How ironic!

He sneered, strode over, and without blinking, drew his sword and pointed it at the queen's neck. He asked in a cold voice, "What did you give Xie Yun to drink?"

Suddenly, the entire bedroom fell into deathly silence, and no one dared to breathe.

The Queen was genuinely frightened by Yan Huinan. A fine layer of sweat broke out on her back, and her voice trembled: "General, there must be some misunderstanding. Put down the knife, and let's talk it over."

The eldest prince in the stroller was startled by the huge and noisy noise and burst into tears, his crying was extremely loud.

The queen quickly reached out to protect the child. A mother is strong. At this moment, compared to her own life, she was more worried that Yan Huinan would harm the child.

The queen's bedroom was surrounded by soldiers, and no one inside could run out to call for help.

The Queen didn't think there was anything wrong with what she had given Xie Yun to drink that afternoon: "It's just an ordinary tonic, used to regulate blood and qi. Madam Yan is a doctor herself, the general will know the answer when he returns!"

Yan Huinan: "You're lying! After she left your palace, she fainted from excessive bleeding. The imperial physician said it was caused by taking a large dose of contraceptive soup."

The Queen was even more shocked by these words. She had no idea what was happening and quickly defended herself, "General, I'm a mother myself. How could I do such a cruel thing? I gave Xie Yun the tonic, and I drank it myself! I still have the bowl she used in it in my palace. I'll have the imperial physician come and examine it and we'll know the truth!"

Yan Huinan didn't believe it. "You and Song Hongxuan, one sent a beauty, and the other fed Xie Yun contraceptive soup. Isn't this a despicable trick you used to completely control me?"

The Queen now understood completely.

Song Hongxuan did want to confuse Yan Huinan by sending the beauty. He didn't want Yan Huinan to indulge in his love for Xie Yun and forget their hatred and the responsibility of restoring the Great Zhou.

Song Hongxuan did ask her to call Xie Yun to the palace, but his purpose was to persuade Xie Yun to accept those beauties for Yan Huinan and take concubines for him.

Everyone in the capital knows that Xie Yun is the beard, the reverse scale and the rebellious bone that Yan Huinan cannot touch at all.

Song Hongxuan would choose any method that could allow him to proceed gradually, but he would never choose such a method that would obviously hurt Xie Yun and touch the most sensitive area of ​​Yan Huinan.

This is undoubtedly walking into a trap.

At this moment, Yan Huinan controlled two-thirds of the troops in the Great Zhou. Coupled with his extraordinary military talent, almost no one in the entire Great Zhou could withstand the iron hoof of the army led by Yan Huinan.

The tiger talisman is just a piece of insignificant rotten wood blocking the door.

The real power to command and control the army is firmly in the hands of Yan Huinan.

Song Hongxuan would not be so stupid at this moment.

"General, think about it carefully. Your Majesty and I have a thousand options. Why would we choose such an obvious and stupid way? Did you really never think from the beginning to the end that it was possible that Xie Yun drank the contraceptive soup herself?" After the queen figured it all out, she was terrifyingly calm. As she said this, she cast a firm gaze at Yan Huinan, and when she met his incredulous gaze, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of sympathy.

Sympathy for Yan Huinan.

"What?"

The Queen explained, "Women understand women best, especially a woman as resilient and tenacious as Xie Yun. How could she be willing to be a caged bird? If she were truly the woman the General sees now, someone who could be captured with force, the General wouldn't have focused all his attention on her."

These words seemed to come from hell, cold and terrifying, and instantly chilled Yan Huinan's heart.

The queen quickly asked the attendants to take out the utensils they had just used to drink the tonic, and sent someone to quickly invite the imperial physician to examine it.

The imperial physician came crawling over and guaranteed with the lives of his entire family in front of Yan Huinan that this was really just an ordinary tonic for replenishing qi and blood.

"General..." The Queen hugged the crying child. She had known Yan Huinan for five years, ever since she married Song Hongxuan. It wasn't until this year, when Yan Huinan, despite everyone's opposition, decided to marry Xie Yun, that she finally understood why, whenever she saw him before, he always looked so cold and indifferent, so indifferent that no one could get close to him, let alone move him. His heart was elsewhere.

But after Xie Yun came back, Yan Huinan became visibly more popular.

Yan Huinan's temples were throbbing, and he felt like vomiting: "Shut up."

yes……

Why didn't he think that Xie Yun drank this medicine herself?

No wonder... No wonder the imperial physician said she had taken a large amount of drugs that were harmful to her body.

No wonder, when he mentioned the child, Xie Yun's reaction was neither affirmation nor denial, nor shock nor resistance.

But silence.

Endless silence.

She knew all along that she had everything under control.

She wouldn't let herself get pregnant with his child.

Even though Yan Huinan knew from the beginning that he and Xie Yun were just a forced couple at the moment, no matter what they did, they were hurting each other.

He hated Xie Yun, but didn't Xie Yun hate him too?

But he is as naive as Xie Yun.

They both fantasized that there was still a bond between them that surpassed that of others. Even though they had hurt each other badly, there was still some room for them to love each other.

The fact is, it was he who was struggling, twisted and torn apart, it was he who did the most harm, and it was he who was stupid and self-righteous.

Xie Yun...Xie Yun just didn't take him seriously from beginning to end.

Without love, there is naturally no extreme hatred.

She didn't even say a word when she hated him.

Even if it meant hurting her own body, even if she didn't want to live anymore, she would still avoid him like the plague and didn't want to have any connection with him at all.

Only he himself was struggling in pain, ridiculously.

Only now did he realize how ridiculous and pitiful he was when he was so angry that he lost his mind.

Did he just rip his heart out?

He really thought Xie Yun was forced!

Hahahaha…how ridiculous!

He never doubted for a moment that Xie Yun would really not cherish her own life in order to avoid any connection with him.

Just then, a torrential downpour began to fall outside the palace. The late summer rain kicked up a cloud of dust, filling the air with the sickening smell of dust. The summer heat also swept over. Yan Huinan walked out without a care in the world. Everyone was disgusted by him. Even Heaven was joining in the fun.

Worried about his master, Si Wen took an umbrella from the queen's bedroom and hurriedly chased after her.

Yan Huinan didn't care whether he got wet in the rain or not.

Si Wen followed behind and recalled that the night the general and his wife got married was also a cold and rainy night.

After returning from his parents' grave, he was also drenched in rain, but his back was very straight.

The only difference from now is that when Yan Huinan returned that night, he felt guilty towards his parents, angry and resentful towards the hatred, but he also had a sense of belonging that he had finally achieved what he wanted, and a little bit of joy.

That was him... the person he would think of so many times when he was on the brink of life and death!

At this moment, Yan Huinan seemed to be abandoned once again, abandoned by all hope.

He was once a boy who owned the whole world. But perhaps everything was destined, he had too much in the past, so he also lost more than others.

Once again, he felt at a loss about the way forward.

Xie Yun hated him so much that she was willing to hurt herself.
