Chapter 160 Let’s have a baby
When Qi Wuhan returned to Ganyue Palace, he saw that Jiang Lan was not staying in the bedroom but in the courtyard. He walked over with a slightly frowned brow and a heavy tone, "Didn't I tell you not to come out?"
"I can't sleep. Can't I go out for a walk?" In fact, she was a little scared to stay alone in the bedroom, afraid that if she lowered her head, she would see another pair of feet.
Seeing Jiang Lan's stubborn expression, Qi Wuhan curled the corners of his lips slightly, and his expression relaxed. "Are you sleepy now?"
"I'm not sleepy." She turned to look at the moon with a stubborn look.
As soon as she finished speaking, he picked her up by the waist.
"You have to go to sleep even if you are not sleepy." He said in a commanding tone and carried her towards the bedroom.
"I can walk by myself, put me down."
"You look so energetic. I think you won't want to sleep later. I'm not tired either."
“…”
A rogue, a pervert, a lecher...
"What are you cursing at me in your heart again? Are you a beast in human form or a beast in human form?"
“…”
He looked down at her, and Jiang Lan immediately turned her head to the other side, still looking angry.
After entering the bedroom, Qi Wuhan placed her gently on the bed. As soon as he sat down beside her, Jiang Lan stood up to leave, and he held her in his arms.
"I'm not in a rush to get married right now, so do you really have to draw a line between us now?"
“…”
Jiang Lan was so angry that she wanted to scold him to death. He didn't even listen to what nonsense he was saying. What did he mean by not drawing a clear line between them if they weren't in a hurry to get married? Is that even human language...
She calmed down for a moment and asked, "Then according to His Highness, as long as we're not married, we can fool around. Anyway, I'm not His Highness's legitimate wife now, so can I start looking for a legitimate husband?"
She emphasized the word "legitimate" twice, and Qi Wuhan felt like he had lifted a rock and dropped it on his own feet. However, the thought of her finding another man as her husband intensified his anger. He leaned over and pressed her down, a hint of ambiguous smirk on his lips. "You saw me naked the night before last. Don't you have any responsibility for me?"
"What...saw everything...you're talking nonsense..." Jiang Lan was so embarrassed that her face flushed. She didn't dare to look him in the eye. She heard him snort and laugh, as if he was sure of victory, thinking that he could control her. She gritted her teeth, turned her head and looked him in the eye, saying righteously, "Saw everything, saw everything. You didn't suffer any loss. I don't hold you responsible. Why do you want me to be responsible?"
"That's fine. I will be responsible for you." He smiled slightly, and his peach blossom eyes curled up with a cunning arc, just like a cunning male vixen.
"..." Jiang Lan felt that he was just being unreasonable, but his shameless look was exactly the same as before, which made her feel uneasy again. A wave of irritation also surged up, and she shouted angrily, "Will this ever end?"
Qi Wuhan was stunned for a moment when he was yelled at by her.
"Is it fun to tease me like this? You clearly don't remember anything, but you still say you will treat me well as before. Do you know how you treated me well before? You clearly don't know anything..." Jiang Lan turned her head away, trying to hold back her tears. She didn't want to cry in front of him anymore, looking so useless.
"So do you like me, or do you just like me being nice to you?" Qi Wuhan asked as if he was talking to himself. Jiang Lan was slightly stunned when she heard his words, and felt that the question was strange. When she turned her head to look at him, he stood up.
"I'll sleep on your bed tonight, don't worry." His tone became his usual indifferent tone again.
After falling asleep on the couch, Qi Wuhan turned over and faced Jiang Lan with his back.
Looking at the back of his head, Jiang Lan wondered if he was overthinking it again. She liked him as a person and liked him being nice to her. Was there anything wrong with that? If she married a husband who wasn't nice to her, then why would she marry him? Was she just looking for trouble?
She also turned over and faced the back of her head against the back of his.
No words were spoken that night.
Jiang Lan fell asleep just before dawn. When she woke up, she found that no one was on the couch. When two maids came to help her get up, she asked casually, and they replied that she had gone out early in the morning.
"His Highness has also instructed that the young lady stay here, and he has also sent someone to fetch her belongings."
“…”
Even her luggage was confiscated. That's too much.
Here, Qi Wuhan came to Qinglong Garden and followed the eunuch An Zhong to the Qiongyu Terrace by the water. The sound of a piano came from above, revealing a sense of loneliness and coldness.
"Is it Father who is playing the piano?"
An Zhong nodded and gestured for an invitation, "Your Highness, please." Qi Wuhan raised his hand and said, "I'd better wait a little longer, so as not to spoil my father's fun."
After the piano music stopped, An Zhong led Qi Wuhan over and then took his leave.
"I heard that an assassin entered the palace last night?"
"I'm sorry to have frightened your Majesty. I have already apprehended the assassin."
"Then why did you come to see me?"
"I want to postpone the wedding."
"reason?"
"Someone broke into Ganyue Palace last night and tried to kill my former wife."
Having said that, Qi Wuhan raised his eyes and confronted the pair of similar peach blossom eyes behind the piano case.
The sound of a piano was heard, and the person behind the piano table casually plucked the strings, with a gentle smile on his lips.
"Just for this?"
"yes."
The person behind the zither table glanced at his determined expression and said, "Although your mother is a princess, the palace still needs a legitimate queen. I can bring your mother back, but I can only give her the title of consort. As for the position of crown prince, I can decide, and you can decide it in the future. I heard that your wife from the Central Plains is pregnant. Is it true?"
Hearing the word "pregnant", Qi Wuhan's eyes flashed with shock, but he immediately suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked, "Now that the emperor knows about this, what are you going to do?"
"Since she's pregnant, let her take good care of the baby." The person behind the piano table asked a different question, "Have you visited your mother recently?"
Qi Wuhan was silent for a moment, then replied, "I am not familiar with you, mother, so I really have nothing to say."
"You don't have to blame her. It was me who broke the promise." The man behind the piano table had a calm expression, as if he was talking about an ordinary past event. He gave people the feeling that he was a bit cold-blooded and ruthless, but more importantly, he made people feel that his thoughts were unfathomable.
Qi Wuhan remained silent.
"The wedding will go on as planned."
Qi Wuhan remained silent.
"Don't forget what you promised me before."
"Father, please don't forget why I agreed to this."
The person behind the zither table smiled, a gentle smile that revealed a hint of loneliness and coldness. "Aren't you pregnant? After ten months of pregnancy, I will wait for the birth of another little grandson."
"Don't worry, father. I won't let you down." Qi Wuhan replied.
…….
Jiang Lan was staring at the pink Phalaenopsis orchid on the windowsill when she was suddenly picked up from behind. She was startled and what Qi Wuhan said next made her stunned.
"Let's have a baby."
“…….”
When she came to her senses, her heart was beating like a drum and she was talking incoherently, "What child? You...you...I...I...Who wants to give birth to a child for you? Don't even think about it. You're dreaming. You're shameless..."
"But I have already sworn a solemn oath before my father that if he still doesn't have a grandson next year, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. Do you really want me to have a child with another woman?"
“…”
Jiang Lan pushed him away with all her strength, not believing his lies at all. Then she changed her mind and thought, maybe he wanted to tie her down with the child, so she would never let him succeed.
"Aren't you going to have a legitimate princess soon? Let her give birth to your child."
Hearing the words "justifiable" again, Qi Wuhan felt a little headache. He then said softly, "I said the wrong thing. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Jiang Lan turned her head slightly and glanced at him. Meeting his tender gaze, he tried to use his beauty to lure her, but she wouldn't fall for it.
"I've lived alone for more than twenty years, but all I can remember are the events of these two months. Isn't it ridiculous?" He lowered his eyes sadly, a bitter, self-deprecating smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing him so vulnerable, Jiang Lan felt bad. After all, it wasn't his fault that he didn't remember it. If he did remember it...
It is always better for two people to think of a solution together than for her to think about it alone. Since they are married, they should walk through life hand in hand. Although they are facing such a big dilemma now, they should not give up easily. No one can say whether the future will be good or bad, but they must first wade through the quagmire in front of them to know.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became enlightened. All the entanglements, doubts and worries of the past few days disappeared. After hearing about the marriage yesterday, she was stuck in a dead end and couldn't think straight. If he remembered, he would definitely not marry the second daughter of the Ye family. As for whether he should go back with her, two people always have more solutions than one person.
She decided to finish telling him the story she hadn't finished before. Just as she was about to speak, Ling Feng's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, the general is here and is waiting for you in the study."
. . . . . .
They both felt the same way: why did he come at this time, not earlier or later?
"I'll be back soon."
"Then come back early, I have something to tell you."
Qi Wuhan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. Jiang Lan returned the kiss on his cheek. He was stunned for a moment, and the ice and snow in his eyes seemed to melt.
…….
After arriving at the study, Qi Wuhan asked him what was the matter. Ye Xuanhe replied, "I want to discuss the marriage between Your Highness and my younger sister." Qi Wuhan frowned slightly and said indifferently, "What do you want to talk about?"
"I would like to know, after my younger sister marries you, will Your Highness treat her sincerely?" Ye Xuanhe asked.
Qi Wuhan curled his lips and smiled, "This marriage was originally arranged by my father. Do you think I can be sincere?"
"Is it because of that young lady from Central Plains?" Ye Xuanhe said.
Qi Wuhan's eyes darkened. "Even without her, I have no interest in this marriage. If Miss Ye Er wants my true heart, then I can only say sorry."
"Now that we've spoken, I won't beat around the bush." Ye Xuanhe bowed and said, "My little sister only wants the position of Crown Princess. As long as Your Highness doesn't treat her with contempt and respects her as Your Majesty does the Empress, the Ye family will always be Your Highness's backer."
"If I don't give her the position of Crown Princess, will the Ye family also turn against me?" Qi Wuhan smiled indifferently.
Ye Xuanhe replied with a casual smile, "I will stand on Your Highness's side, but the Ye family is not under the control of me alone. Apart from my sixth brother who died young, I have five other brothers. They don't trust Your Highness as much as I do. If it weren't for this marriage, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to assist Your Highness wholeheartedly in the future."
"What will you do if they become disloyal in the future?" Qi Wuhan asked.
Ye Xuanhe replied: "Just deal with it according to the law."
"What if I want to kill them?" Qi Wuhan asked further.
Ye Xuanhe replied: "Then it is certain that none of them can stay."
