Chapter 92 Intimacy.
"How could it be so fast?" There was no word of it a few days ago.
She thought her brother was still in Youzhou, but when she turned around, he had already taken Qingzhou?
Could it be that her brother has found their father's army? Ji Wanyuan couldn't help but worry.
"Are you deliberately hiding this from me?" Her gaze held a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Wen Qiyan frowned as well. He clicked his tongue and said, "You're about to give birth. The doctor and midwife have repeatedly told me to protect you and prevent you from having too many emotional fluctuations. Can I tell you this?"
Although what he said made sense, she was still very unhappy. She couldn't help but pout and snort, then poked the man's chest little by little with her index finger to vent her dissatisfaction.
Wen Qiyan looked down at her little actions, but did not stop her, letting her make a fuss.
When she got tired of poking, she put down her hands and lay down. He tucked the blanket around her and said, "I have good news."
"What good news?" Ji Wanyuan asked irritably.
All he knows is how to coax her.
"My mother-in-law has been rescued."
A casual remark caused the woman who had just lain down on the bed to suddenly open her eyes and sit up abruptly. "W-what?!"
She gripped Wen Qiyan's wrist tightly, shaking him, "You really rescued my mother?"
He pinched her cheek. "Would I lie to you?"
"Why...when did this happen?"
"It was just a few days ago."
Ji Wanyuan immediately put her hands on her hips, "How could you hide such an important matter!" Her eyebrows stood up, and her cheeks puffed out.
"I just received a letter from the capital, so I immediately informed you."
"You're so glib, you lie to me every day." She was still not satisfied.
Wen Qiyan laughed upon hearing this, and went along with her accusation, admitting his mistake, "Yes, it's all my fault."
He leaned down and kissed her angry brows and eyes. "Miss Ji, could you please forgive me for my rudeness?"
Ji Wanyuan hadn't expected his tricks to be so sophisticated now.
It was like punching cotton! He actually tried to kiss her!
Despite expressing her disgust, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
That slutty, lewd man, ugh.
"You're so annoying, stop kissing me." She pushed him away.
Since she started her pregnancy, Wen Qiyan has hardly argued with her. He agrees with whatever she says, and he doesn't get angry even when she scolds him. It's so boring.
"You got angry when I went along with you?" He noticed her awkwardness.
Ji Wanyuan glared at him.
I noticed faint dark circles under the man's eyes and finger marks on his face.
Ji Wanyuan sighed and asked Wen Qiyan to fetch the ointment.
Knowing what she was going to do, he complied and got up to get the medicine box.
When Ji Wanyuan applied the medicine, she asked him if it hurt.
Not only his face, but also his hands, were bitten so badly that the bones were almost visible, and the flesh was turned inside out.
She bit him without thinking, and he didn't even push her away, just letting her bite him. Although it did make her vent her anger, didn't it hurt him? What a madman, he doesn't know how to cherish himself at all.
Ji Wanyuan frowned the whole time as she applied the medicine to the man. After she finished applying the medicine, she looked up and he grabbed her chin and kissed her.
She let out a sob, and the gauze she was clutching fell from the bed.
Wen Qiyan noticed her retreat, so he reached down and pinched the back of her neck, controlling the back of her head, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
Ji Wanyuan never intended to back out; it was just that... the two of them hadn't been intimate for too long.
He suddenly kissed her, leaving her bewildered, and her instinctive reaction was to try to dodge.
Wen Qiyan moved closer and pinned her against the bed.
His tongue probed into her lips, tasting the rich sweetness.
Wen Qiyan sucked on her tongue, enticing her to respond.
Ji Wanyuan did respond, but she didn't expect that her slight response would make him kiss her more fiercely and excite him.
No, to be precise, he felt her response wasn't enough, so he used this intense method to keep pressuring her to respond again.
Ji Wanyuan felt a little pain from his tongue stirring around her, and her head involuntarily tilted back. Her long hair fell down, the ends sweeping around her waist, and some strands, being too long, cascaded onto the soft pillow.
The maidservant who was serving the medicine came in and was so frightened by the sight of the two being so intimate that she immediately walked away.
Although the maid's steps were very light, Ji Wanyuan still caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye.
Her face flushed, and she began to struggle. She subconsciously tried to warn Wen Qiyan that someone had come in, but Wen Qiyan took advantage of her vulnerability and kissed her even more deeply when she opened her mouth, almost as if he wanted to devour her whole.
She had just given birth, why was he kissing her so fiercely?
It's absolutely terrifying.
Ji Wanyuan sobbed, her hands hanging limply at the man's waist, clutching his brocade belt.
Wen Qiyan's kisses forced her to respond, because his advances were too intense. If she didn't give him a corresponding response, he would become more and more ferocious until he completely devoured her.
Her breathing became increasingly uneven, but he continued to kiss her, and the occasional pauses were never too long.
Ji Wanyuan felt like she was being driven crazy by him; he was truly insatiable.
She didn't know how much time had passed before the lingering kiss, which seemed to suffocate her, finally stopped.
When Wen Qiyan withdrew, her tongue was trembling.
He swept away a lot of water, leaving behind silvery water threads.
During their kiss, in order to control her and prevent her from backing down, the man's long, slender fingers ran through her dark hair, and they are still pressing against her now.
Their foreheads touched, and their hot breaths hit her face, making her feel like she was being pushed to the point of melting.
After a long pause, just as Ji Wanyuan was about to speak, the man's kiss covered her again. This time, he simply tossed and turned outside, gently pecking at her lips.
Through this kiss, Ji Wanyuan inexplicably sensed his dependence on her.
He seemed afraid of losing her, so he tried to feel her vibrancy and her presence in this way.
Is this just her imagination?
Ji Wanyuan thought of the tear that Wen Qiyan had shed on her face in her dream.
If it wasn't a dream, then he really cried while he was watching over her. It's hard to imagine that Wen Qiyan would actually cry and shed tears.
Or should I shed tears for her?
Although a long time ago, during the years she was pursuing him, his aloofness infuriated her, and she had even made a harsh statement that she would eventually win him over, tie him up, make him cry, and torture him severely, making him act so pretentious, bully her, reject her, and disregard her.
But now that she has gotten what she wanted, she still feels... a bit uneasy.
After this incident, she realized that Wen Qiyan seemed to love her even more than she had imagined.
This is indeed gratifying, but more than that, it leaves one feeling helpless.
He stopped kissing her and instead kissed the tip of her nose and her cheeks. He cupped her face in his hands and looked at her.
Ji Wanyuan met the man's gaze. His eyes were so deep that she couldn't fathom his thoughts. She could only feel the surging emotions that were unconsciously enveloping her through their tenderness.
It left her at a loss, unsure of what to say.
She didn't open her mouth, but he spoke first, "Ji Wanyuan, it's so good that you're alive."
He didn't explain, but she already understood what he meant.
Even though she knew the truth in her heart, she couldn't help but argue with him, "What, are you hoping I die?"
"How could I bear to see you die?" He couldn't help but chuckle.
Ji Wanyuan turned her face slightly away, her cheeks flushed, and her thick, curled eyelashes trembled involuntarily. "...Liar," she muttered.
He wasn't satisfied with just kissing her; he even started gently biting the tip of her nose. Ji Wanyuan winced in pain, "Are you crazy?"
The man didn't reply. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
Where the man couldn't see, as she lowered her eyes, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face as she buried half her face in his shoulder, inhaling his scent.
"..."
When news of Ji Wanyuan's childbirth reached the capital, the Wen family was overjoyed. Madam Ji, in particular, wept with joy and asked the messenger, "Is my daughter safe and sound?"
"Madam, please rest assured, both mother and child are safe and sound."
Having received the definite news, Madam Ji couldn't help but smile and purse her lips, forcibly suppressing her red and hot tears.
I couldn't be there for my daughter during childbirth, and I don't know if she suffered. It's been so long since I've seen her.
Not only had it been a long time since I'd seen Ji Wanyuan, but it had also been a long time since I'd seen Prime Minister Ji.
Despite exchanging letters, I couldn't help but miss him.
Seeing this, Madam Wen comforted Madam Ji, saying that Wen Qiyan would definitely take good care of her.
Mr. Wen chimed in, saying, "Yes, I've already sent a letter, repeatedly instructing him to take good care of my daughter-in-law during her postpartum period. I think he'll definitely do as I say."
Given how much that rebellious son loves Ji Wanyuan, he would take good care of her even if no one else mentioned it, so there's no need to worry about her at all.
However, such words can only be said to one's own family. One cannot speak nonsense to Madam Ji, lest it cause dissatisfaction. In front of one's mother-in-law, one must, of course, give the unfilial son face.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen comforted her, saying many kind words. After composing herself, Madam Ji replied, "The son-in-law is indeed a good person with excellent character and ability. My husband trusts him, so I have nothing to say."
When Ji Wanyuan received the reply, she was already halfway through her postpartum period.
During this time, Wen Qiyan still stayed by her side every step of the way. Knowing that she was in pain, he carried her to and from bed and took care of her as always. He knelt on the ground to wipe her feet. Sometimes she would deliberately splash the water in the basin and splash the water droplets on the man's face to see if he would get angry.
To everyone's surprise, his expression didn't change at all. Although he started being sarcastic again, asking her if she was itching for a beating, his actions were still very gentle, as if he was afraid of using too much force and hurting her.
There is one thing I'm very ashamed to talk about.
Ji Wanyuan felt a little overwhelmed.
Her baby didn't eat much, and with two wet nurses, there was an excess, which even soiled her clothes.
Before she could come up with a solution, and even after she had cleaned herself up, Wen Qiyan had already discovered her.
How could he not have noticed?
He has always taken care of her, doing everything for her personally. He even knows her body better than she does; he knows exactly where and how many moles she has!
Ji Wanyuan suspected that he did it on purpose.
That day, after he washed and cleaned her, he placed her on the bed and went into the bathhouse.
After watching the man leave, Ji Wanyuan took out several soft handkerchiefs from the side and was about to bend down to deal with the situation.
But just as she turned her back and was about to make her move, a sound came from behind her. He asked her, "What are you doing?"
Ji Wanyuan was startled when she suddenly heard the man's voice. She hurriedly gathered her clothes, but she didn't expect that the handkerchief would be exposed and then taken away by him.
She had sharp eyes and noticed the marks on the handkerchief, so she immediately tried to snatch it back.
The man tossed the handkerchief high, "What are you doing?"
Ji Wanyuan glared at him, "You took my things, and you still have the nerve to say that? Give them back!"
Her face turned red, and she dared not move too much, because any movement would make her uncomfortable.
Despite all the precautions, the undergarment strap wasn't fastened properly, and the secret was revealed.
She quickly covered it up, not even bothering with the handkerchief.
That's true. If Wen Qiyan wants this handkerchief, just give it to him. She has plenty of them.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!" she immediately replied, telling him to go take a bath and not get in the way.
"What, you just had a baby and you think I'm in your way?" He looked down at her, his tone almost interrogative.
Ji Wanyuan was getting a little anxious.
The man in front of her was like a mountain blocking her way, making her feel very dangerous.
"Get out of my way." She had never held back when it came to Wen Qiyan, and she cursed at him.
"What are you doing with the handkerchief?" he asked again.
"What's it to you?" Even though he already knew, he still asked her.
How despicable.
She's in a hurry because she's feeling uncomfortable from the blockage, and her breasts were already more impressive than those of ordinary girls. Now that she's given birth, she'll have to change her undergarments again.
She felt something flowing, and her breathing became heavier.
"Wen Qiyan, didn't you want to take a bath? Go on." The tone wasn't as fierce as before, but it was still impatient.
"Is it blocked?" he asked.
Sure enough, her reasonable guesses were all correct; this scoundrel clearly knew how upset she was.
Ji Wanyuan remained silent and ignored him, turning her back to him with the back of her head facing away.
She found another handkerchief and was about to wipe herself.
But the man snatched the handkerchief away again.
He sat down beside her. "Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well?"
What else could it be but fear of someone's bestial nature erupting!
"Are you shy?" he asked, leaning closer.
The curtains fell, and the two were very close, their noses touching.
Ji Wanyuan felt uncomfortable listening to him speak, even though he clearly knew everything.
“…No.” She said irritably.
"I'll help you." He lifted her undergarment, but Ji Wanyuan grabbed the collar and resisted him.
Wen Qiyan stopped insisting on taking off his clothes and his hand slipped through the collar and touched her.
As soon as they met, she couldn't help but groan, gripping the man's arms with both hands. "Could you...could you be a little gentler?"
"Feeling that bad?"
At this critical juncture, Ji Wanyuan didn't want to argue with him anymore. She bit her lip and nodded, "Mmm..."
She herself didn't realize that her voice had unconsciously become tinged with grievance, the sticky ending notes dragging out, her two delicate wrists gripping his arm, and she sat on one knee in front of him, looking charming.
Wen Qiyan listened to her humming, glanced at her, and couldn't help but peck the tip of her nose.
He coaxed her, saying, "It'll be fine in a bit."
Ji Wanyuan was unimpressed. "You make it sound so nice, why don't you experience it for yourself?"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but look at his chest, which was hard as a rock! Compared to her soft and yielding body, there was simply no comparison.
Noticing her disdainful look, Wen Qiyan frowned. "What are you thinking about?"
"I dislike you," she said bluntly.
The words had barely left her mouth when the man pinched her hard.
Ji Wanyuan sensed the emotion welling up and couldn't help but let out a soft sob, her face scrunching up as she bit her lip, "Could you...?"
"Don't make it so heavy."
He is already very light.
She is too delicate.
It was indeed too delicate. This soft, heavy, snow-white dough felt like a bead formed from snow in his palm, and he didn't dare to use too much force.
He had indeed noticed that she was not feeling well some time ago, and asked the doctor and the midwife. The two of them told him in detail about Ji Wanyuan's "knot" problem.
Tell him what to do so that Ji Wanyuan can feel comfortable.
He hadn't even used much force, yet Ji Wanyuan was already whimpering like this.
He simply stretched and lifted her onto his lap, then bent down to kiss her.
Ji Wanyuan's sobs were even louder than before.
Her fingers ran through the man's hair, around his neck, and she called his name in a trembling voice.
His speech was disjointed and broken.
After an unknown amount of time, when Wen Qiyan looked up again, Ji Wanyuan was indeed much more comfortable, but... his handsome face was flushed, and he looked quite disheveled, especially the corner of his lips, which were stained with...
She remembered that she had given him a handkerchief and told him to spit it out, but he hadn't listened and had choked on it instead.
Ji Wanyuan couldn't help but turn her face away and say that he was thick-skinned.
"I helped you, and you still scold me?"
She brushed his hand away, "Who asked you to help me? You're clearly..."
"What is it?" The man wiped the traces from the corner of his lips, his expression returning to its cold indifference.
Ji Wanyuan looked at her and said, "You're clearly trying to bully me."
"besides……"
"My lady, you're being so hesitant to speak now. Can't you just say what you want to say?"
Ji Wanyuan was unaware that she had fallen into the other party's provocation.
"And you just want to eat!" she began to blurt out.
"Don't think I don't know you've been staring at me the other day."
No, it was watching her feed her baby.
Wen Qiyan raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yes." Ji Wanyuan narrowed her eyes, signaling him to stop pretending to deny it.
"Since my wife has already seen through it, I have nothing more to say."
Ji Wanyuan's eyes widened immediately, indicating that she had never seen such a shameless person.
"..."
In the latter half of the month, Ji Wanyuan safely completed her postpartum confinement.
It's said to be peaceful, but in reality, only she herself is at peace.
Chaos had broken out outside because her brother, Ji Lingyue, had already reached Yizhou.
After taking Qingzhou, he didn't stay long and immediately opened fire on Yizhou. Although Youzhou was relatively peaceful, the governor of Youzhou had secretly surrendered to her brother, and Youzhou was already in his grasp.
Moreover, she heard from Wen Qiyan that things were not peaceful in the capital at all. A prince was secretly starting a rebellion and infiltrated the capital under the pretext of purging corrupt officials and protecting the emperor. The emperor was seriously ill and had not held court for many days. He could pass away at any time.
Ji Wanyuan couldn't help but feel her heart pounding as she listened. She asked Wen Qiyan why he hadn't made a move yet.
He said he would stay with her during her postpartum period.
Now that she has finished her postpartum confinement, she asked Wen Qiyan again today if she was busy.
But he said not for now.
"When will it be?" Ji Wanyuan was truly puzzled.
Everything's in complete chaos now.
Things are peaceful here now, and she has received letters from her father and mother, but she is still worried.
If the emperor is unreliable, what if the vassal kings who invade the capital attack their family?
He pulled her close and hugged her, one arm around her waist, the other hand busy reviewing a reply. To be honest, there were many words on it that she didn't recognize at all; it was a letter delivered by Wen Qiyan's subordinate.
"My lady, have you ever heard this saying?"
"What are you saying?" she asked him, wondering what he was really thinking. Wouldn't things get worse if this dragged on?
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Ji Wanyuan had naturally heard this statement before.
"You want to be the oriole that catches the worm?"
She paused to think for a moment, and then she saw Wen Qiyan's gaze shift to the map. He was drawing military lines, and she understood what he meant. He wanted her brother's people to encounter the court's people, and to let the two groups fight each other first.
She was still a little worried. "I...didn't you say you had my father's troops under your command?"
"Who knows if my brother might join forces with the imperial court to deal with you?"
Wouldn't that be terrible?
"My wife, how come you've become so clever? Are you worried about me?"
Ji Wanyuan pursed her lips. "I'm worried about myself."
He laughed, “Don’t worry, Father-in-law’s troops are well hidden, and my brother-in-law’s surname is Ji. Even if the people in the court think that Father-in-law has stockpiled troops, they will only think that these people have already been given to my brother-in-law.”
“We’ll have people coming to assassinate you, but don’t worry, I won’t let them disturb your rest.” He pinched her cheek and continued to dip his brush in ink.
Ji Wanyuan watched as the man's pen moved like clouds, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
As a young lady from a sheltered family, she knew nothing about military strategy and warfare. Whatever Wen Qiyan said, she could only echo him in a drawn-out voice, as if she understood but not quite.
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I've seen Wen Yunqin and He Xun. I wonder how they are doing, whether they are dead or alive.
The man holding her was incredibly jealous, so she didn't dare ask any more questions.
"..."
The military camp garrison in Qingzhou.
Inside the main tent, Ji Lingyue sat in the main seat, listening to his subordinates discuss how to take Yizhou.
Compared to Qingzhou, Yizhou is easier to defend and harder to attack, making it a difficult state to conquer.
None of the suggestions from the others were very good. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said he would think about it again.
We don't have many men at hand right now, so if we can outsmart them, we should.
Half an hour later, the crowd dispersed, and his confidant entered the tent to deliver a message to him.
"The capital city appears calm on the surface, but the Third Prince is already dead."
Ji Lingyue nodded calmly, not surprised.
Although the third prince was sickly, he was still a prince. How could the vassal king leave such a thorn in his side? Only by completely eliminating him could the threat be prevented forever.
"Keep an eye on what's happening inside the imperial city."
"Yes." The subordinate accepted the order.
After a moment of silence, Ji Lingyue asked, "Judging by the days, has your sister finished her postpartum confinement?"
His subordinates said yes.
Ji Lingyue chuckled and murmured, "It's been a long time since we last met; it's time to catch up with my sister."
