Chapter 67
"How's your mother?"
In the greenhouse, Liu Leyao followed the servants and chattered, asking questions here and there, while Si Wan, who was sitting on a chair, suddenly turned her gaze to Yu Jinnian.
The tone of her question was so casual that anyone who heard it would think she was asking: Is your mother dead?
Yu Jinnian was wearing loose home clothes. The soft fabric fit his tall body well, giving him a relaxed and comfortable look.
He sat quietly with Si Wan in the greenhouse. The sunlight shone through the glass, forming patches of light on the ground.
In response to Si Wan's deliberate provocation, Yu Jinnian just looked at her helplessly, with tolerance and doting in his deep eyes.
Her eyes were as gentle as a calm lake, and no matter how stirring Si Wan's words were, they couldn't cause much waves.
"Same old as always." He said calmly.
Si Wan lowered her eyes and just curled the corners of her lips.
After a while, Yu Jinnian stood up, walked to the flower stand beside him, and carefully selected a beautiful rose.
He slowly walked to Si Wan and handed the rose to her with a gentle smile on his face.
Si Wan's expression was stunned for a moment, and the harsh words that were brewing but had not yet been spoken were stuck in her throat.
Yu Jin said in a young voice, "It's time for a nap. I'll carry you back."
Wu Congshi was the person who had seen the most faces of Yu Jinnian, but he had never seen the soft side of this man.
soft.
Somehow Wu Cong felt that Mr. Yu would be a good father in the future.
…
However, one afternoon half a month later, Si Wan suddenly fainted in the greenhouse.
Qin Ke's magnetic field formation failed to wake up Si Wan this time.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, there's nothing I can do."
…
Yu Jinnian's face was as dark as ink, and his usually calm and deep eyes were instantly filled with horror, like the gloomy sky before a storm, hideous and terrifying.
He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned white, his joints trembled slightly from the force, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"Wu Cong!" The voice was deep and cold, carrying unquestionable authority. Every word was as resounding as an ice spike. "Go and get the most famous doctors from all over the country immediately. Spare no expense."
Wu Cong was frightened by this tangible anger, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and nodded hurriedly, his voice trembling a little: "Yes, I'll do it right away!" After that, he turned around and rushed out like an arrow.
Yu Jinnian rushed to Si Wan's side and carefully held her in his arms, his movements so gentle as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.
He stared at Si Wan's pale face, his eyes full of heartache and self-blame, and his lips kept murmuring: "Wanwan." His hand gently stroked her face, trying to convey his warmth and strength.
He held her in his arms as if she were his whole world, as if she would disappear if he let go.

Si Wan woke up slowly, only to feel her head was very dizzy.
I struggled to open my eyes, and what came into view was an antique carved bed and a flickering candlelight. "Where is this?"
She muttered to herself, and before she could fully react, a wave of nausea hit her, and she quickly covered her mouth.
At this moment, a young girl who looked like a maid came in hurriedly and said in surprise, "You are finally awake. I was so scared."
Si Wan was stunned. She grabbed the maid and asked, "What is this place? What year and month is it now?" The maid looked surprised and said, "Miss, this is your own boudoir. It is the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty."
Si Wan felt like she was struck by lightning. She just returned to the Ming Dynasty like that?
Before she could think about it, she subconsciously touched her belly and found that her abdomen was slightly bulging.
For a moment, Yu Jinnian's face appeared in her mind, and she was shocked. She came back pregnant with Yu Jinnian's child?
"How long have I been unconscious?" Si Wan asked hurriedly.
"More than five months." After the maid answered, her joy suddenly turned into sadness and she started sobbing.
“…”
"Why are you crying?"
The maidservant cursed, "Miss... which beast made you pregnant? There have been rumors that it was the commander of the East Factory. Was it him?"
"No. How could a eunuch like him have that ability?" Si Wan said as she tried to sit up by supporting herself on the bed.
Because she lay down for too long and was pregnant, she was severely swollen.
The maid stepped forward to help: "Who is that? How could he catch your eye?"
Who is it?
Si Wan sat quietly on the bed, looking out the somewhat old window.
Everywhere you look is the most beautiful scenery of the Ming Dynasty. In the distance, there are continuous green mountains, like a dark blue scroll spread across the horizon. The trees on the mountains are lush and green, as if covering the mountains with a layer of green velvet carpet.
The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like soft ribbons, adding a touch of hazy beauty.
At the foot of the mountain is a golden rice field. When the breeze blows, the rice waves rise and fall, rustling as if telling the joy of the harvest.
She frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Although this picturesque scenery made her feel relaxed and happy, her heart was empty.
"Yu Jinnian." After a long time, she slowly said Yu Jinnian's name.
"Yu Jinnian?" The maid looked thoughtful, wondering if there was no such person in the Jinyiwei?
"Change my clothes." Si Wan came back to her senses and raised a bitter smile at the corner of her lips.
Just treat it as a dream.
Moreover, if we calculate the time, the Jinyiwei will be disbanded in three days.
Since God has brought her back to the time before beheading, she must keep her head this time.
Si Wan was dressed in a brocade official uniform, the bright color gleaming in the evening light, outlining her heroic figure.
She rode on a horse with an upright posture, her long hair tied up, a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind.
The horse seemed to understand human intentions, spreading its four hooves and galloping across the earth, raising dust along the way.
The sound of horse hooves clattered together with her rapid heartbeat.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the earth orange and red, and her figure looked particularly resolute in these gorgeous colors.
Si Wan held the reins tightly, looking ahead with a firm gaze.
The wind blew across her cheeks, bringing a slight coolness, but it could not dispel the urgency in her heart.
Finally, the city gate came into view in the distance. She tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and slowly stopped.
She dismounted and ran quickly towards the city gate.
"- Catch her." Hundreds of soldiers suddenly rushed out from behind, shouting and surrounding Si Wan.
"I was just about to arrest you, but you just showed up here yourself." A man riding a Ferghana horse slowly approached, splitting the wall formed by officers and soldiers.
"Who are you?" Si Wan narrowed her eyes coldly. She was sure she had never seen this person before.
"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that today is the day you will die."
"——Uh!" As soon as the man finished speaking, an arrow hit Si Wan's heart.
Before she fell to the ground, she heard someone calling the man's name - Lord Wudong.
