Child? This is a very unfamiliar word to Xu Zekun.
When talking about children, the first person he could think of was Zelan's child Tuan Ge'er, because he was a little boy and a little naughty.
However, after hearing what Yao said and looking at her gentle and fair profile, he suddenly thought that it would be nice if Yao could give birth to a daughter like her.
He was lost in thought as he stared at Yao Susu, who blushed and said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that, Master?"
Xu Zekun smiled faintly, took her in his arms and sat down, saying, "Why don't we ask a doctor to check you out tomorrow?"
Yao Susu felt relieved. It seemed that this man still wanted a child. That was good. She hoped that her child would be born with the expectations of her parents.
Her eyes dimmed, and she lowered her head and shook her head: "No need, Master, Su Su hasn't..."
So you should quickly raise your favorability! It's useless to pray to the gods or seek medical advice before you reach 60.
Seeing Yao Susu like this, Xu Zekun felt a pang in his heart and took the initiative to say, "Why don't we go to Chongfu Temple to worship? It's better to believe it than not to believe it."
He tightened his grip around Yao Susu's waist, and Yao Susu blinked, "Ah?"
_
As a result, Yao Susu pretended to be happy and prepared things for going to Chongfu Temple, and the news that she was going to the temple was secretly heard by Sun Lingyun.
However, Sun Lingyun did not notice that Xu Zekun was also accompanying him when he went to Chongfu Temple this time.
The road to Chongfu Temple was indeed not short. The carriage took an hour to get out of the city, and then it was a winding mountain road. It was so bumpy that Yao Susu's face turned pale.
Xu Zekun felt a little distressed and said, "Come sit over here and lean on me, it will be better."
He was rarely considerate, and Yao Susu snuggled in his arms as he said.
In fact, she was fine after sitting in the carriage for such a long time from the capital to Wuzhou, but the mountain road was really difficult to walk on, so she couldn't control herself.
Seeing that she was depressed, Xu Zekun comforted her, "It shouldn't be too long."
At this moment, there was a sound of horses neighing and the carriage shook violently.
Yao Susu's face turned pale immediately. The sound of fighting gradually came from outside. Xuanwu lifted the curtain and said, "Master, we have encountered bandits!"
Xu Zekun narrowed his eyes. Although the road to Chongfu Temple was remote, it had been walked by countless people. Could there be bandits there?
"Don't let them all die."
This time when he came to Chongfu Temple, he brought not many guards, only about twenty or so. But they were imperial guards after all, and with masters like Xuanqing Xuanwu around, Xu Zekun was not too worried.
However, Sun Lingyun spent a lot of money to capture Yao Susu. There were more than a hundred "bandits" this time, and with such a large number of people, there were bound to be some who slipped through the net.
Yao Susu was terrified. What? Why did they suddenly run into bandits?
Her body was trembling slightly, and Xu Zekun lowered his head to comfort her: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
At this moment, a masked man in black broke free from the guards and stabbed the carriage with a dagger.
The tip of the dagger was pointing directly at Xu Zekun's heart!
"Uncle!" Yao Susu turned around and covered Xu Zekun with her body without hesitation.
Xu Zekun's heart was shocked, and his actions were faster than he thought. His eyes were bright, and he put his hand on Yao Susu's back. The tip of the knife that should have fallen on Yao Susu's back fell on the back of Xu Zekun's hand.
Xu Zekun frowned slightly, embraced Yao Susu and spun around, the blade drawing a trace of blood on the back of his hand, and with his other hand, he pushed the man in black's shoulder mercilessly. With a cry of pain, the dagger fell to the ground, and the man in black fell heavily like a kite with a broken string.
Yao Susu closed her eyes. The pain she had imagined didn't come. After the world spun around, she saw Xu Zekun's burning eyes and heard the system's mechanical voice: "Congratulations, host. The target person's favorability has reached 70%."
Xu Zekun held Yao Susu tightly in his arms. Seeing that someone dared to attack the prince, Xuanqing and Xuanwu rushed over quickly and cleaned up the bandit.
Yao Susu's heart was beating like a drum, but she looked at Xu Zekun anxiously, her eyes full of worry: "Master, are you hurt?"
Her eyes were filled with panic, and there were broken starlight in them. When she saw his bleeding right hand, the starlight condensed and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Xu Zekun looked at Yao Susu deeply, and indescribable happiness and satisfaction filled his heart. Looking at her tearful eyes and her fingers that turned white from pulling his clothes hard, his heart also trembled. He hugged the woman in his arms tightly. He was so lucky to have such a woman who gave her all for him and even risked her life to save him in times of crisis.
Xu Zekun was deeply shocked, and this shock quickly turned into deep tenderness. He wrapped Yao Susu up completely, wanting to rub her into his body.
I only heard the man's low voice: "Don't cry, I'm fine."
Although there were many bandits, they were no match for the imperial guards led by Xu Zekun. Some bandits even escaped from the battlefield when they saw that the people around Xu Zekun were so brave, decisive and ruthless.
In the end, Xuanqing and Xuanwu left nearly ten people alive and took them back to the mansion for interrogation.
-
Xu Zekun's right hand did not suffer any injuries due to his quick reaction, but the cut was very long and looked scary.
After the doctor came over to bandage the wound, Yao Susu cried again out of heartache, and her tears almost drowned Xu Zekun.
Seeing her like this, Xu Zekun found it both funny and comforting. His heart felt like it was soaked in warm water, and his whole body was filled with a warm feeling of happiness. His fingertips brushed across Yao Susu's cheek, his chest moving slightly, and a gentle laugh escaped from his throat: "Don't cry, your eyes will hurt."
Yao Susu pursed her lips. After all, it was her right hand that was injured. She said worriedly, "I wonder if it will affect my ability to wield a pen or a sword in the future."
"It's just a minor injury. But you look so pale. Are you scared?" Yao Susu's face was indeed very pale. She was already uncomfortable because of riding in the carriage, and then she saw blood and was frightened.
"Those bandits were really scary..." Yao Susu couldn't help but shudder when she thought of those scenes. After all, this was the first time she saw so many dead bodies.
Seeing her expression, Xu Zekun couldn't help but regret bringing her to Chongfu Temple.
However, that group of "bandits" were indeed strange in every way, and I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy behind them.
Xu Zekun's eyes were as dark as ink. He stroked her hair and said, "The calming soup will be ready later. Drink it and have a good sleep."
Yao Susu knew that although Xu Zekun was injured, he must have a lot of things to do, such as investigating the origins of the bandits, so she nodded obediently.
Her understanding made Xu Zekun feel pity for her. After confirming her feelings this time, Xu Zekun was also overwhelmed with emotion and felt that he couldn't let her go.
Telling himself not to get too attached to romantic feelings, Xu Zekun finally got up and left the house.
Just as he arrived at the study, Xuan Qing came in and reported, "Master, there is a secret letter from the capital."
Xu Zekun took the envelope. There were only a few words in the letter. After reading it, Xu Zekun's expression became even more gloomy. He threw the letter away and sneered.
The County Princess and Master Feng met secretly in the palace on October 8th.
