Chapter 179 Underestimated Him
Before Wen Wan could come to her senses, Shen Yu's hand had already covered her lower abdomen.
"I actually hope that you will be pregnant with my child, but unfortunately..."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then slapped his hand away, "So, I'm not pregnant at all! Is that imperial physician yours?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu suddenly felt a sense of fear.
"no."
He responded in the affirmative. "But he owes me a favor. A huge one."
Wen Wan thought about it for a moment and her scalp couldn't help but feel numb.
"So, the imperial physician heard the Empress mention your name and knew that I was your woman, so he took the risk of lying and took control of the situation?"
It seems like a simple lie, but in fact, there are too many deep implications behind it.
Being able to work in the Imperial Medical Bureau and being invited by the Empress to take her pulse at this time, he must be the Empress's man.
The Queen's men saved Shen Yu's men at the risk of compromising their medical ethics and betraying the Queen.
If anything went wrong in any link, Wen Wan and more than a hundred ordinary people in the backyard would have been killed.
Thinking of this, Wen Wan restrained her expression, raised her eyes to look at Shen Yu, her lips trembled, but in the end she only said one sentence.
"Thanks."
Living in the turbulent world of the capital is indeed like walking on a tightrope. If you take a wrong step, you will be crushed to pieces.
Once again, Wen Wan wished she could escape from the center of the power vortex immediately.
Shen Yu slowly raised his hand and touched her head. Although he was scared, his eyes were filled with relief.
"It's a blessing in disguise. My kindness back then saved you and also saved innocent people."
After a pause, he sighed again: "It's a pity that many people still died tragically at the hands of the guards."
His eyes were sharp, and when he spoke, he was unconsciously infected with the murderous aura of a battlefield god.
Wen Wan knew that he, who had risked his life to defend the border on the battlefield, felt more sorry for the innocent people who died in vain than she did.
Even she felt unhappy, let alone him who was a great general.
Wen Wan pursed her lips, temporarily put aside the cold war with him, and gently held his hand.
Rubbing her fingers on the back of his hand, she soothed him, "I believe that with people like you in the Duan Dynasty, fairness and justice may be delayed, but they will come one day."
Hearing her say this, Shen Yu looked at her in surprise.
"You..." Shen Yu pulled the corner of his mouth in dismay, "You are still beyond my expectations as always."
She didn't blame him with a pure heart. Why didn't she directly blame the Queen? Why didn't she immediately go to the palace to report to the Emperor and expose the Queen's true face?
He was not frightened by the Queen's brutal killing and fell into despair, accepting his fate and never thinking of resisting.
Because Wen Wan and he had shared life and death together, she understood him.
As long as this path is feasible, he will fight the queen to the end even if it costs his life.
Since he did not choose this path, it only means that directly exposing the queen will not work.
At that time, Wen Wan didn't know how important her trust was to Yu Chenyu.
It’s like a person walking alone in the night, and accidentally discovers that there is a colorful butterfly accompanying him all the time.
At that moment, it seemed as if the colors on the butterfly's wings spread out, filling the whole world with colors.
"Xiao Wan," Shen Yu choked and hugged her in his arms, "Can you... give me a chance, for me, for me..."
Wen Wan let him hold her, but suddenly sneered, "Stay in the General's Mansion for you?"
Shen Yu nodded gently.
Wen Wan sighed and said, "Look, even you can't bring yourself to say it. For you, I have to stay in the general's mansion and be a concubine without freedom for the rest of my life. So..."
"You know my answer."
Shen Yu wanted to struggle again, "I won't imprison you, you don't have to contact other people, as long as you stay by my side, I can..."
“Shen Yu!”
Wen Wan's voice sank. "Are you going to use empty promises like other men to trick me into staying?"
When she yelled at him, Shen Yu's eyes instantly turned red.
He looked pitiful, as if Wen Wan was the heartless villain.
He covered up his sobs with a cough, and turned his head away to avoid Wenwan's gaze.
After a while, perhaps until he adjusted his mood, he turned around.
His expression returned to calm, but there was still a hint of red in the corner of his eyes, revealing his previous loss of composure.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I know that no one would want a woman like you to be his concubine. I promise I won't mention such things again."
"However, now that you are pregnant with my child, I'm afraid you will have to keep it a secret for a while."
"wait……"
He paused, and only spoke the rest after his throat rolled.
"Once this matter is over, I will let you leave the General's Mansion."
Wen Wan thought that she would have to put in some effort to get him to let go, but unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to bring it up?
This was indeed somewhat beyond her expectations.
This makes her look petty.
He was better than she thought.
Unfortunately, such a good man is destined not to be her lover.
Wen Wan's nose felt sore and tears flowed uncontrollably, but she was completely unaware.
Seeing her crying, Shen Yu raised his hand tremblingly, brushed her cheek with his fingertips, and said softly: "I did as you wish, and you started crying."
After he said that, Wen Wan couldn't help herself anymore.
She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment.
Outside the carriage, Jinmu on horseback and the general's guards all looked in the direction of the carriage in surprise.
They thought Wen Wan was frightened and that was why she burst into tears.
No matter how smart a woman is, she is still timid. Such cruel and bloody scenes would move even the men, not to mention her.
*
At dusk.
The carriage returned to the general's mansion.
The gatekeeper opened the heavy vermilion lacquered door and saw the general getting off the carriage holding a delicate girl.
At first, the servant thought he was dazzled.
It was not until the general came up to him and followed him into the backyard that he came to his senses.
The servant opened his mouth wide and stepped forward to ask Jinmu who was following behind him.
"Captain Jin, am I seeing things right? The general is holding a woman in his arms."
Moreover, the woman's profile looked familiar. Where had he seen her before?
Kaneki casually replied, "Yeah. You read that right."
The servant's eyes widened as they grew larger than copper bells. "Ah?"
Jin Mu raised his hand and patted the servant on the back of the head. "What? Not only that, Miss Xiaowan is pregnant with the general's child!"
The servant was petrified instantly. After Kaneki left, he walked around in circles with his sleeves in his hands. It took him a while to come back to his senses.
He thought about it and quickly ran to the main courtyard of the mistress Zhao.
"This news must be told to Madam as soon as possible."
