With this sound, the two people in the hall finally came back to their senses.

Yan Shu hurriedly broke away from Yuwen Lan's arms, straightened her clothes, fixed her hair, and hurried to the mirror to wipe off the lip balm that was messed up by his kiss.

After tidying up like this, she was about to go to the warm couch, and her eyes accidentally glanced and saw another amazing scene.

His robe... seemed to be propped up.

Yan Shu was stunned, and suddenly remembered the thing that she accidentally touched on her side just now, which was a bit like Ge Ren...

Could this be...

She was suddenly shocked!!!

Could he be healed already? ? ?

"..."

Yuwen Lan was a little embarrassed.

He really wanted to tell her that his guess was right.

- If he hadn't been interrupted just now, he might have carried her to the couch by now.

Tsk, why did the Queen Mother choose the right time to summon her?

Yan Shu was also curious about this question.

Why did the Queen Mother ask her to do

something out of the blue? Could it be that she wanted to get information while the Emperor was here?

Of course, the people sent by the Queen Mother were outside at this time, and she should have asked them to come in and ask. However,

looking at that person's heroic and high-spirited appearance...

Tsk, how can he meet people like this?

Yan Shu couldn't help but take a quick glance at him, and she sighed in her heart again. He looked so magnificent even in this way, it seems that the Emperor still has potential.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Of course, after all, he is the emperor.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Yan Shu quickly take a blanket from inside and said to him, "It's a little cold in the room, Your Majesty, please don't catch a cold."

Then she covered him with the blanket with a red face.

Then she ordered outside the door, "Come in and talk." After

the voice fell, the palace maid guarding the door lifted the curtain and let Zhu Shu, who had just reported outside the door, in.

Zhu Shu entered the hall and felt an ambiguous atmosphere surging around.

She was secretly stunned and had to bow to the two of them first, "Your servant greets Your Majesty and Concubine Yi." After speaking, she

secretly glanced at the two of them, and saw Yan Shu's cheeks were pink, and the king's expression was a little unnatural.

In addition, he had waited at the door for so long just now...

It seems that the scene in the hall just now is self-evident.

She could only pretend that she hadn't noticed anything, and reported to the two of them, "The Empress Dowager wants to invite Concubine Yi to come over and talk for a while. If it's convenient for Your Majesty, you might as well go over and sit down with her."

Yan Shu thought that this was a good point. The Emperor might really be a little uncomfortable at this time.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Yes, he was indeed a little uncomfortable just now.

But after this incident, he has calmed down...

Hey, this is the first time in three years!

He barely suppressed his disappointment and said as usual, "I was just about to visit my mother, so let's go."

As he said that, he took off the blanket on his body and stood up from the couch.

What, he wants to go too?

Yan Shu was stunned, and quickly glanced at him again, but saw that he had recovered as before.

Gone again? ? ?

She couldn't help but worry - this, it won't have any impact on him, right?

Could it be that she is not able to do it again...

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Not really.

But... there is always a strong regret in my heart that I can't express.

Tsk, the Queen Mother is really good at choosing the time!

~~

Not long after, the two of them arrived at Ci'an Palace together.

After the ceremony, the Queen Mother asked the palace servants to serve tea and snacks, and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do after my nap, so I wanted to ask Yipin to come over and talk for a while, but I didn't expect Your Majesty

to be here too?" Yuwen Lan said, "I was there not long ago, and it was just right for me to come and visit you, mother. How are you these days?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty, I am fine these days. But I heard that Yipin was not feeling well these days. I wonder if she is better now?"

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but glance at the emperor.

She was taking the blame for him!

——Seeing that Ganlu Palace had been boiling medicine for more than ten days, outsiders thought she was sick.

She could only reply to the Queen Mother, "Thank you for your concern, I caught a cold a few days ago and took medicine for a few days. Now I am almost well." She

covered her lips and coughed twice to prove that she was not lying.

She thought to herself that it should be okay to say so. Looking at the situation today, the emperor didn't need to take medicine anymore.

Hearing this, Yuwen Lan nodded silently in his heart -

indeed, judging from what he saw just now, he should no longer need to take medicine.

Well, I will find a chance to prove it to her in the evening.

Just when she was feeling a little distracted, she saw the empress dowager nodded, "That's good."

Then she suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, I've been reading storybooks these days when I was free, and I saw that the new book published by Master Xiaoyao a few days ago seemed to be about the Chai family, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Shu thought to herself, as expected, the empress dowager came to inquire about the storybooks again.

Well, she took the blame for the emperor taking the medicine, and the emperor took the blame for her storybooks, so it's even

. She quietly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, secretly glanced at the emperor, waiting for his answer.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

This is really unfair.

After all, he only took the medicine this time, but she has already written many storybooks.

And in the future, I'm afraid she will continue to write.

However, after all, he had promised it himself, so she said, "Mother is right."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "How did your Majesty find out that Chai Weizhong was a traitor? I didn't know about this before."

Yuwen Lan could only say, "I heard about it by chance, so I asked someone to check it out and found that it was true." The Queen Mother

nodded again.

But she was thinking, "Where did you hear this from? Why can't I hear it from anywhere else?" 】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Then, the Queen Mother sighed again, "This Chai Weizhong is too ridiculous. He cut off his sleeves, but he actually brought a man home and pretended to be a concubine! Such disrespect for his wife is really infuriating."

Yuwen Lan could only say, "People with evil intentions often do things that are intolerable to heaven, but now he has been brought to justice, so the Queen Mother doesn't have to worry about it."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Fortunately, Your Majesty has a keen eye and can see through everything." But she

shook her head in her heart, [It should have been exposed earlier, so that he would be brought to justice after being ruined and despised by thousands of people. That would be satisfying! The emperor is still not cruel enough. 】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Well, he already understood. As expected, women could not tolerate the behavior of this scumbag.

Then the Queen Mother said, "By the way, I heard that there have been rumors recently that the first person to discover that the Hu trafficker was not acting right and reported him to the authorities was a woman. Your Majesty, do you know whether this is true or not? I wonder where this girl came from to be so smart and brave?"

Yuwen Lan, "...I just heard about this and haven't verified it yet."

Well, after being a mother and son for more than 20 years, he only now realized that the Queen Mother also likes to listen to gossip.

At this time, Yan Shu said, "I think this statement is very likely to be true."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother

looked at her immediately, "Why does Yipin say that?"

Yan Shu smiled, "I am timid. Women have been looked down upon since ancient times. Many major events have never happened to us. Most of the good things are done by men. Now that the people have unanimously agreed that it was done by a girl, it must be almost certain, otherwise they would have said it was done by a man?"

"That makes sense,"

the Queen Mother nodded, "This time the men did not take credit, which shows that it was indeed done by a woman."

[Yipin, this little girl, still has some knowledge, unlike those who think they are smart.]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

As the only man in the palace at this time, he suddenly felt excluded.

So he opened his mouth and said, "In half a month it will be the Queen Mother's Thousand-Year-Old Festival. I have already ordered the Taichang Temple and the Guanglu Temple to begin preparations. I wonder if the Queen Mother wants to hold it in the palace this year, or go to the Jinbo Garden?"

- Instead of asking the Queen Mother to continue asking some strange questions, it is better to take the initiative to change the subject.

As expected, the Queen Mother smiled, "Your Majesty is so filial, I am satisfied, just stay in the palace, keep everything simple, don't waste people's money."

Yuwen Lan nodded, and said, "I received a report the day before yesterday that Qin Angong's family is already on the way, and it will take about five or six days to reach the capital. You and your aunt haven't seen each other for a long time, and you can have a good talk."

- Qin Angong's wife is the Queen Mother's cousin. She is also a noblewoman of the Zhou family. She married Qin Anhou that year. Later, when the late emperor ascended the throne, in order to show his appreciation for the Zhou family, he pulled Qin Anhou's power and promoted her husband to the title of Duke.

However, this family is in the northwest, and they can only come back every year when the Queen Mother celebrates her birthday.

I think the sisters must have a deep relationship.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty is really troublesome."

But in her heart, she sighed, "I have to meet that annoying Zhou Shulan again."

Yuwen Lan, "???"

~~

After talking about the Qianqiu Festival, a minister happened to ask for an audience in Qianming Palace, so Yuwen Lan and Yan Shu left Ci'an Palace.

Yan Shu returned to Ganlu Palace to write a story.

After meeting with the ministers, seeing that it was still early, Yuwen Lan simply changed into casual clothes and left the palace.

——Today, Jiang Nianqi happened to be off duty, and he wanted to ask if he had recovered now.

It didn't take long before they arrived at the place.

At that time, Doctor Jiang was treating a patient. He waited in the car for a while, and when there was no one in the room, he got off the car with the curtain.

After entering the room, Doctor Jiang asked as soon as he saw it was him, "Sir, is the treatment effective?"

Yuwen Lan secretly sighed at the other party's medical skills and nodded, "Yes, I found today that it seems to have recovered to normal. In this case, do you not need to take medicine in the future?"

Doctor Jiang nodded and said, "You don't need to take the medicine anymore, but you can't have sex for the time being."

What?

Yuwen Lan was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Why not?"

But he heard the other party say, "Sir, your poisoning is not a matter of one or two days. Although the remaining toxins in your body have basically been discharged, it has been suppressed for so long, and the Yuan Yang in your body is not in the best condition. Under such circumstances, if a woman becomes pregnant during intercourse, she may give birth to an unhealthy baby or even a stillbirth."

Yuwen Lan took a breath of cool air and frowned, "Is it so serious?"

Doctor Jiang nodded, "It's not an exaggeration. I have traveled to many places in the past and seen many such incidents. So for the sake of your offspring, you'd better bear it."

Yuwen Lan asked again, "How long do you have to endure it?"

Doctor Jiang said, "The Yuan Yang produces a cycle every three days. You need to wait for seven cycles, and then it will be over."

One cycle every three days, and seven cycles are needed...

Yuwen Lan paused, that would be twenty-one days.

In other words, he still has to wait for another month?

Doctor Jiang comforted him, seeing his disappointment, "Sir, you have waited for so long, I think a few days won't make a difference."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

What do you mean a few days won't make a difference?

It would be fine if he didn't get better, but now he is already well.

Especially when he goes to bed every night, the girl beside him is not honest and always likes to get into his arms.

It's like a traveler who has been trekking in the desert for a long time holding a fresh and sweet fruit in his hand but can't eat it.

It's really torture!

He was unwilling to give up, and tried to ask, "Is there any other way?"

Doctor Jiang said, "Other ways... are to ask women to drink contraceptive soup, but medicine is three-quarters poison. If the contraceptive soup is drunk too much, it is very likely that women will have difficulty getting pregnant in the future."

Yuwen Lan paused.

He finally recovered to normal...

Well, he nodded and said, "Thank you for your answer, doctor."

Then he took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the table, saying, "This is my consultation fee."

Jiang Nianqi was about to speak, but he saw him say again, "This is my heartfelt gift, please don't refuse it."

After speaking, he stood up and left the room.

Jiang Nianqi looked at his back for a while, and had to put away the gold ingot.

Well, this person's aura is so strong, I think he is not an ordinary person, so he had to obey.

However...

it is somewhat surprising -

men of this status usually have wives and concubines, and some even live a life of debauchery all day long, with countless women around them.

However, when this man heard that contraceptive soup is not good for women, he stopped mentioning it. Is there only one woman in the harem?

It's rare that he is a loyal man.

~~

When he returned to the palace, it was already dark.

Yuwen Lan changed his clothes in Qianming Palace, and went to Yu's study to read memorials for a while. When he went to Ganlu Palace again, Yan Shu had already bathed.

Seeing him coming, she hurried forward to salute, "Your Majesty, your concubine pays homage."

Yuwen Lan said no need to salute, and looked down at her.

But she saw a head of wet long hair draped behind her body, and a few strands stuck to her temples. Her cheeks were red from the steaming hot water, like delicious fruits on the branches.

That's right, it was the kind that a traveler like him wanted to eat after a long journey.

Yuwen Lan tried hard to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind and said, "It's getting late, go to

bed." Then he went to the side of the couch.

Yan Shu agreed and followed her onto the couch.

However, after lying down, her heart was a little restless.

- According to the situation during the day, he should have been well.

So tonight...

will it happen...

ahem, if it really happens later, she'd better not be too shy.

After all, he needs encouragement after recovering from a serious illness, and she must not strangle the budding flame.

Yuwen Lan, "???"

So that's what she thought?

He thought she would be shy or even resist...

But that's true, thinking back to the first time he came to Ganlu Palace, she dared to kiss him.

Thinking of this, he became a little distracted again.

However...

Yuwen Lan sighed silently, he could only disappoint her tonight.

So he turned over and faced the bed curtains, closed his eyes, and silently chanted the Heart Purification Mantra in his mind.

Yan Shu, "???"

What does this mean?

The man who always takes advantage of her when he goes to bed is facing outside tonight?

Isn't everything fine? ? ?

After being suspicious for a while, she suddenly paused.

Damn, is he thinking about another woman?

Yuwen Lan, "???"

But she heard her say in her heart, [Tsk tsk, that's probably the case. Anyway, I'm just his target. When he couldn't do it, he used me to cover up his tracks. Now that he can do it, he continues to use me to cover up his tracks, and then save his loyalty to his true love! ]

Yes, it must be like this!

Yuwen Lan, "???"

True love?

She is the only one he likes.

However, before he could open his mouth to explain, she cursed again, [scumbag!]

Yuwen Lan, "???"

How did he become a scumbag? ? ?

At this time, Yan Shu was inexplicably irritated——

... Although he did not play with her body and emotions, she felt that he was a scumbag.

But she was not tempted anyway, she just coveted his beauty a little bit...

Who is afraid of who!

So she also turned sideways to the bed, back to back with him.

Yuwen Lan, "???"

What, not tempted by him?

Or just coveted his beauty? ? ?

At this moment, she heard several more "scumbags" in her heart...

Yuwen Lan, "..."

He had no choice but to turn to her again and reach out to hold her in his arms.

However, the moment he touched her, he could still feel that she wanted to resist.

He said, "Are you angry with me?"

Yan Shumu said no.

Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why are you so angry?"

Yan Shu wanted to tell him no, but as soon as she turned her head, she accidentally fell into his kiss.

Well...

she wanted to resist, but she accidentally lost herself for a moment.

After all, he... is getting better and better.

However, she was still thinking in her mind, isn't this scumbag trying to keep his chastity for true love? Why is he kissing her again?

What chastity...

Yuwen Lan reluctantly separated from her and whispered, "Silly."

Yan Shu, "???"

What?

This scumbag also called her stupid???

But he sighed again and said, "I haven't been feeling well these days, so I'm taking medicine."

Yan Shu hummed.

She was puzzled. Why did he suddenly tell her this?

But he said, "The doctor told me that I can't have sex with you these days."

After all, it was the first time he said this to a woman, and he was a little uncomfortable.

The girl in his arms was stunned, "Ah?"

What was going on?

Could it be that he couldn't do that because of this?

So he didn't want to save his chastity for his true love?

At this moment, he said, "There has never been anyone else in my heart except you."

Yan Shu was stunned.

...Why did this man suddenly say this?

As if he knew what she was thinking...

Then, he said helplessly, "That's why I sleep facing outward, because as long as I hug you... I can't help it."

Yan Shu was dumbfounded again, "Is that so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, she felt it before he could open his mouth.

Tsk...

Such a song.

... He must be very uncomfortable, right?

Yuwen Lan wanted to say yes.

He is very difficult!!!

God knows what he is suffering at this moment?

But the girl in his arms suddenly asked, "Did the doctor say that there are other ways?"

"What?"

Yuwen Lan didn't understand.

What other methods?

But she stretched out her hand.

Then he was killed by me without any warning.

Yan Shu blinked her innocent eyes and asked, "Is this okay?"

Yuwen Lan didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only say, "Yes, it's okay..."

The next moment, he could hardly protect his knees.

...

That night, Yuwen Lan slept the best sleep he had ever had since he ascended the throne.

It was really good.

~~

Five days later, Duke Qin An and his family arrived in the capital.

They were sisters from the Queen Mother's clan, and they came specifically for the Queen Mother's birthday. The Queen Mother naturally couldn't neglect them. The next morning, she asked someone to bring her cousin, the Lady of Duke Qin An, to the palace to meet her.

Yan Shu, as one of the few concubines left in the palace, accompanied the Queen Mother in the reception at Ci'an Palace with Concubine Zhou.

Not long after she arrived at Ci'an Palace, she saw the Lady of Duke Qin An enter the palace.

Behind her were two younger women and five or six children, ranging from seven or eight years old to two or three years old. One of them was even held in her arms and could not walk yet. There were both boys and girls, and it was very lively.

The wife of Duke Qin'an looked three or four years older than the queen mother, but she seemed to be more stern in appearance.

Yan Shu thought that she was worthy of being the elder sister since she was young. Her aura showed that

she was the head of the family. It must be difficult to be her daughter-in-law.

After the wife of Duke Qin'an led the whole family to pay respect to them, Yan Shu realized that the two young women were her daughter-in-law Yue and her daughter Qiao, and the children were her grandchildren.

Tsk, this family was really lively.

The Queen Mother gave them all seats, and asked the palace maids to bring tea and snacks, and began to chat with her cousin.

"I haven't seen you for a year, how are you, cousin?" The Queen Mother

asked politely.

The wife of Duke An of Qin nodded and said, "Thanks to the Queen Mother, everything is fine. I had a grandson last year, and it's been more than seven months. When I come again next year, I will be able to kowtow to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, saying, "The family is prosperous, and my cousin is blessed."

But the wife of Duke An of Qin asked again, "I wonder if there is a new little master in the palace?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

This... Isn't it a case of talking about something else?

The Queen Mother wants a grandson the most now. If there is one, wouldn't it have been shown long ago?

Yan Shu was also sighing in her heart -

is there something unpleasant between these sisters?

If there were a prince or princess in the palace, it would have been announced to the world long ago. How could she not know about it and still ask?

The wife of Duke Qin An does not look like a stupid person. Why did she rush to poke the empress dowager's heart?

But the system dinged, "Yes, these cousins ​​have been fighting openly and secretly since they were young, and no one is willing to submit to the other. The cousin married Duke Qin An and thought she was superior to her younger sister. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager married the late emperor and suppressed her again. However, the empress dowager's legitimate son died later, and the cousin thought she had won over the empress dowager. 】

Yan Shu clicked her tongue when she heard this, "No wonder she brought up her grandson right away. This is murderous! Isn't she afraid that the empress dowager will punish her? 】

The system groaned, [The Queen Mother is indeed very annoyed with this cousin, but there is no way. Once she is dealt with, the Zhou family will lose another support. For the sake of the family's interests, they have to endure it. 】

Yan Shu sighed when she heard this. It is not easy for the Queen Mother to be surrounded by pig teammates.

But the wife of Duke Qin An is also the same. No matter how hard they fight, the Queen Mother is still their support, not to mention that there is also a layer of family affection. How can you use someone's most painful thing to poke someone's heart.

The system groaned, [This woman has always been like this, and it is precisely because she is too mean and strong. Her relationship with Duke Qin An has always been bad. Her son is also cowardly. He knows that his daughter-in-law is fooling around with the servants at home but dares not intervene. 】

Yan Shu, [Is there such an interesting thing? ? ? ]
