Qing Yue's voice was suppressed, and she swallowed her tears mixed with blood.

Qing Zhan felt so sorry for his younger sister, but when he heard Qing Yue's words, he could only sigh.

"Second brother, you don't have to worry about me. Feng Ling and I can no longer go back to the way things were."

Qing Yue raised her eyes, and apart from the red circles under her eyes, there were no tears spreading. However, Qing Zhan felt even more upset.

"What about Chu Yan?"

This is the most direct problem facing my younger sister.

Chu Yan obviously wouldn't let go.

Qing Yue pursed her lips, her emotions having stabilized considerably. Gazing into the dark night, she said, "Second brother, there are many things one can do in life, not just love. Chu Yan and I...there's no possibility between us."

There was a sudden silence between the two people.

Qing Zhan wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.

At this moment, footsteps seemed to be heard in the dark night. The two looked up and saw Chu Yan walking towards them in the night. His shadow was stretched out by the moonlight. He stood in front of them and said, "Is the matter settled? If so, then go back. Yue'er is pregnant and can't stay up late. In addition, you were too emotional tonight, so you should get some rest."

His tone was still cold, with a hint of tenderness towards Qingyue. No hidden emotions could be seen on his handsome face. I wonder if he had heard the conversation between the brother and sister.

"Um."

Qing Yue nodded and walked outside with Qing Zhan. The carriage was waiting outside. The three of them got on the carriage and walked back to the Nanjiao Temple villa under the moonlight.

When they returned home so late at night, the Qing family members were still awake. When they saw Qing Yue and the others coming back, they all hurried to greet them.

"Girl, how was it? Did you meet that vicious woman? Did she make you angry?"

In just a few days, a series of accidents occurred, causing the old general of the Qing family, who was once an iron-blooded general, to have white hair on his temples. He had not slept in such a deep night because he knew that she and her second brother had gone out. He was worried and could not sleep. Looking at the dark circles under the eyes of her father and eldest brother, Qing Yue's eyes became sore, and she really felt that she was extremely unfilial.

"Dad, I'm fine. Where's Mom? How is Mom?"

Qing Yue asked, she didn't want to talk about Qing Yunyao.

I looked towards the backyard, where I could see a faint light. I wanted to go see my mother, but I was worried that she might have fallen asleep at this hour.

"Your mother was waiting for you and stayed up all night. Her wound hurt so much that Dad had someone add some sleeping pills to the food, and she fell asleep."

Qing Lei Shan Road.

Qing Yue nodded and said, "Dad, big brother, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late and you must be tired. Let's get some rest first."

Qing Yuedao.

Although Qing Leishan and Qing Ziyuan had a lot to say, they also knew that Qing Yue was unwell, so they quickly let her go to rest.

Qing Yue was indeed very tired. She was now four or five months pregnant, and she was too emotional tonight. She was exhausted. She gave a few more instructions to her father and brother, and returned to her own yard, leaving Qing Zhan, Qing Leishan and Qing Ziyuan here to report on what happened tonight.

Chu Yan started from Feng Ling's villa and didn't say a word all the way. Now he just nodded to Qing Leishan and sent Qing Yue to her courtyard.

"Yue'er, have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Chu Yan sent her to the door of the wing room.

The moonlight shone on his handsome and cold face, casting a faint shadow. His eyes seemed a little dim, but his emotions were well restrained.

Qing Yue paused as she pushed the door open, then turned her head to look at the man in front of her and said, "Ah Yan, you heard what I said to my second brother tonight, didn't you? I... don't want to lie to you, nor do I want to use you. Even if Feng Ling and I are impossible, I won't be with you anymore. Ah Yan, my mother is still injured and can't travel long distances. When she recovers, we will leave here and return to the General's Mansion. You've worked hard these days."

Qing Yue said directly.

Some things need to be made clear. She was hurt too badly and never wants to touch matters of the heart again.

Chu Yan pursed his lips tightly, and clenched his fists at his side, exerting force, and then slowly loosening them. He only heard him say, "Yue'er, whether we can be together or not is a matter for the future. But now I want to protect you. This Nanjiao Temple compound is protected by my people like a solid wall. No one can get in. You are the safest here.

Now that you're pregnant, if you return to Kyoto, who knows where that ghost guy is hiding? You can give birth to the child safely here, remove the life and death Gu, and then it won't be too late to return to the capital."

Chu Yan said.

Qing Yue was silent for a moment, but before she could speak, she heard Chu Yan say, "The General's wife is injured in her lungs and needs at least three months of rest. Instead of returning to Kyoto and worrying about it, it's better for her to stay here and recuperate while waiting for you to give birth to the child... Yue'er, I don't deny that I have selfish motives, but I hope you're okay."

These words were sincere to the extreme. Having said that, Qing Yue would not be ungrateful.

My mother was seriously injured, how could she be suitable for such a bumpy ride? As long as she returned to the capital, she would have to report to the palace. Her pregnancy was also a big problem. The best solution was to give birth to the child here. After all, it was a child who would not survive and would bear all her pain.

"Ayan, I have nothing to repay you."

Qing Yuedao.

A bitterness flashed in Chu Yan's eyes. She didn't know when she stopped calling him Brother Ayan and only called him Ayan. She had endured too much pain and had matured.

As for rewards, he admitted that he was not a kind person, and it was impossible for him not to ask for rewards. From the moment he knew the truth, he had only one goal, to be with her and hold her in his arms. For this goal, he could endure some things, even if she had Feng Ling's child, even if her heart was desolate, but it didn't matter, he could wait, and he would wait together.

"Brother Ayan still says the same thing. I'll be there for you and make sure you have no worries. Okay, go inside and get some rest. If you don't sleep now, it will be dawn soon. Your health is more important."

Chu Yan said.

Qingyue pursed her lips, said nothing more, and went into the house.

A sleepless night.

But time flies fast.

Four months passed in a flash.

There was turmoil in the capital, but the news about the Qing family was strictly blocked. No one knew that Princess Yu had already woken up, but was hiding in the courtyard of Nanjiao Temple. The Qing family members did not go back either, and stayed here to guard Qingyue. After all, her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was already seven months pregnant.

Qing Ziyuan's return to the border was repeatedly delayed. He originally only had half a month's vacation, but he encountered a series of family misfortunes. The Emperor of Chu made an exception and allowed him to stay at home for a while longer. This stay lasted for several months. The Emperor of Chu then issued an ultimatum, forcing Qing Ziyuan to return to the palace to report, but he didn't expect...
