Chapter 173 His Destined Daughter
They couldn't get out now, nor could they find a doctor. The black creature might be poisonous. In order to save Meng Yan's life, he had no choice but to risk it all!
"Meng Yan, I'm sorry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a ripping sound, and the clothes on Meng Yan's shoulders were torn to pieces.
Qin Yuntian widened his eyes, staring straight at the snow-white skin on Meng Yan's chest.
"Qin Yuntian, how can you take advantage of someone's misfortune!"
Reason finally triumphed over evil. Qin Yuntian lowered his head to help her suck out the snake venom. After he was done, he took off his clothes and covered her with them.
Meng Yan regained some consciousness and said weakly, "General, you saw everything, didn't you?"
Qin Yuntian lowered his head, not daring to look into her eyes, "I saw it."
"I'm sorry, General. I didn't mean to hide it. I..."
"Don't talk about it. You are still poisoned. Let's talk about it after we get out."
"no!"
Meng Yan shook his head, "If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to say it later. I disguised myself as a man and went to the border just for the general!"
Qin Yuntian clenched his fists, "Why?"
"Because I like generals!"
Meng Yan slowly expressed his feelings, fearing that he would not have the chance to say it if it was too late.
"Six years ago, the general rescued me from the bandits, and I vowed to marry him. Unfortunately, the general already had a wife, and I thought that even if I could be a concubine, I would be willing.
Later, Qin Yuntian divorced his wife and returned to the border. Meng Yan knew that her chance had come, so she immediately disguised herself as a man and joined the army.
Six years of hardships not only did not defeat Meng Yan's determination, but made her more determined.
In the end, Meng Yan took a gamble.
"Now that I have said these words, even if the general wants to kill me, I will have no complaints."
These words have been buried in my heart for too long, and Meng Yan is almost suffocating.
We're all going to die sooner or later anyway, so we might as well get it over with.
"General, you want to kill..."
Before he could finish his words, Meng Yan's mouth was blocked by Qin Yuntian's lips.
The unique aura belonging to Qin Yuntian swept over, Meng Yan's heartbeat accelerated, and his eyes widened with excitement.
After a kiss as gentle as a dragonfly touching the water, Qin Yuntian said seriously: "Meng Yan, why didn't you express your feelings earlier? You knew that I was a rough man, I..."
Since Qin Yuntian knew that Meng Yan was a girl, he was surprised and happy.
When the brothers had been through life and death together over the years, he always had a different feeling when the two of them slept in the same quilt.
Several times he thought he was a homosexual and was depressed for a long time.
"I like you too, but you were a man before and I thought there was something wrong with me."
Meng Yan was surprised, "General, are you telling the truth?"
"But you also know that I had a wife before, and I am a second marriage..."
"So what if it's my second marriage? The person I like is you, not your life!"
The two of them spoke so openly and there was no tension between them like a superior and a subordinate.
"In that case, I'll just go for it!"
Qin Yuntian held Meng Yan in his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.
It was the next day that the two people were rescued from the cave.
Little Tangbao was holding the doll with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, you guys spent the whole night in the cave last night. Are there no little snakes?"
Meng Yan's cheeks flushed red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone.
The snake that bit him last night was clearly non-venomous, but it happened to allow her to get the secret that she had been holding in her heart out, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Qin Yuntian took Meng Yan's hand and stroked the back of his head, "Little Tangbao, let's talk about it when we get back."
The group returned to the general's mansion, and Qin Yuntian pulled Meng Yan to kneel in front of his parents.
"Mom and Dad, I want to tell you something important. I want to marry Meng Yan."
Qin Yunshuang sat aside holding little Tangbao, with a faint smile on her face. She looked at Old Madam Qin, and they understood each other tacitly.
"Tian'er, isn't Lieutenant General Meng a man? Why are you..."
"Mother, Meng Yan is actually a girl. She disguised herself as a man and stayed at the border with her son for six years. My son must marry her!"
Old Madam Qin looked at Meng Yan who was kneeling beside her with a look of understanding.
"Girl, your injury hasn't healed yet, get well soon."
Meng Yan stood up obediently.
"Is your family the Jiangnan Meng family?"
Meng Yan nodded. "My father was also an official in the capital before, but he returned to Jiangnan due to poor health. He was previously the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."
"It is indeed the Jiangnan Meng family."
The Meng family has produced a junior official in the Dali Temple, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so they have a bright future.
It’s a pity that Lord Meng is frail and sickly and has no chance of entering the officialdom.
With such good in-laws, Old Madam Qin couldn't be more satisfied.
"In that case, I can't say much, but you have to talk to His Majesty yourself."
Meng Yan is a woman, but she has taken the position of deputy general. Many people in the army know her. This matter must be reported to His Majesty.
If he is impeached for this, the matter can be serious or minor.
"Mother is right. I will go to the palace to see His Majesty immediately!"
Qin Yuntian was a man of his word, and he immediately took Meng Yan to the palace to meet the emperor.
Not only did His Majesty not punish Meng Yan, but he praised her for being as capable as any man and even personally issued an edict to arrange her marriage.
The imperial decree of marriage soon spread, and everyone was talking about how the two were a perfect match made in heaven.
When Qin Yunshuang saw that her elder brother's marriage was settled, her eyes couldn't help but become moist, and she said while hugging Xiao Tangbao.
"Xiao Tangbao, your uncle has had a hard life. He was almost killed by that woman. Now he has someone to belong to. Mom is really happy!"
Little Tangbao hugged her mother and coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, mom. Sister Meng is a good person. Little Tangbao likes her very much."
[Oh, my uncle's true love is Meng Yan. Now my mission is accomplished.]
Qin Yunshuang was so happy when she heard Xiao Tangbao's thoughts.
The news of His Majesty's marriage proposal soon spread to Jiangnan, and the Meng family rushed over without stopping. The two families sat down to discuss the wedding date and immediately began to prepare things.
…
Shen Ruyi was taken home by Yunfeng and treated as a benefactor.
All the delicious food and drinks were sent to her room, and she was also given a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
The three of them lived a fairy-like life here.
One day, Yunfeng came back in high spirits, pulled Shen Ruyi aside and whispered, "I have arranged everything you said before. Tomorrow night is the emperor's birthday. I will introduce you to the emperor, and the rest depends on you."
Yunfeng looked at the little Shen Ruyi, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
The emperor doesn't like pedophiles, so can she do it?
Shen Ruyi was extremely confident in her good fortune, "Don't worry, as long as I meet the emperor, glory and wealth will follow."
Time passed quickly and it was the next night. Shen Ruyi dressed herself up like a colorful little butterfly, and her clothes turned into colorful light under the sunlight.
