Chapter 171: Spring Passes, Summer Passes, Autumn Arrives, Winter Solstice (Part 2)
In General Yongwei's mansion, An Yun approached the bed in the dark, but Bai Lan had already fallen asleep.
"Bai Lan?" An Yun called softly.
But Bai Lan was already soundly asleep and didn't wake up at all.
An Yun raised her voice and said, "Bai Lan, wake up!" She even stepped forward and pushed.
Suddenly, a sentence I heard somewhere came to my mind: If your husband doesn't talk, he's probably dead...
An Yun was startled, stretched out her index finger to feel the other person's breath, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be alive and well.
An Yun couldn't understand why he slept like a pig.
In fact, Bai Lan woke up as soon as she approached, but he suddenly decided to tease the place and decided not to wake up to see An Yun at a loss.
An Yun thought about it, raised her hand and slapped him.
Amidst the crisp applause, Bai Lan said: ...
Seeing that An Yun was about to hit him for the second time, Bai Lan had to wake up even if he didn't want to.
He had no choice but to grab the wrist that was so close to him, and finally remembered that the first time he knew this girl was when she hit someone else.
He thought at the time, what strong hands!
"Ayun, it's so late and you're not sleeping. Why are you hitting me?"
An Yun said confidently, "Mingzhu's maid just brought you a message. I'm afraid Mingzhu has something urgent to do, but you're not awake, so I'm afraid of wasting time, so I can only resort to this last resort."
After listening to this, Bai Lan stood up, feeling even more helpless.
But An Yun still thought he was too slow, and urged him to leave:
"Since Mingzhu is looking for you at this time, it must be something urgent. Go quickly and stop being so conceited."
An Yun pushed her to the door and then warned her, "Hurry up on your way and don't keep her waiting for too long."
She was about to close the door when Bai Lan reached out to stop her: "Aren't you going with me?"
An Yun was surprised after hearing this: "Why should I go with you? It's not like you don't know Donggong Road."
Mingzhu has a weird temper now. What if she goes with him and gets into trouble too?
Bai Lan sneered after hearing this and reminded him, "The Crown Princess summoned a foreign minister late at night. As my wife, Ayun, aren't you worried?"
After hearing this, An Yun's expression was as if she had heard someone say that the sky was about to fall.
She shook her head and pushed him out. "I told you to stop being so conceited, but you didn't listen. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is many times more handsome than you, and Mingzhu is not a wild boar."
But these words were somewhat hurtful, so An Yun immediately closed the door and said,
"Hurry up, I'll make you Spring City's spicy fermented fish tomorrow."
After hearing Bai Lan and his men leave outside, An Yun turned around and looked through the gap, feeling relieved.
It was really strange. After marrying Bai Lan, her eyes were finally opened. How could some people like to eat fish, shrimps, crabs and other aquatic animals so much?
Bai Lan steams a large pot of it every day, but eating too much of it also has its benefits. Sometimes it makes you feel very energetic.
An Yun wanted to cover her face. What on earth was she thinking about in the middle of the night?
In the East Palace, Zhao Mingzhu and Shuangyun looked at each other. Shuangyun looked around and spoke first:
"Crown Princess, am I dreaming?"
This was a miracle that had never been seen before. She actually followed him, and Shuangyun even pinched her thigh.
“Hiss, it hurts!”
"Crown Princess, are you really not a deity?"
Otherwise, how do you explain all this?
At this time, Qiao'er said from outside: "Crown Princess, Lord Bai is here."
After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu quickly asked Bai Lan to come in, and then he showed up: "Bai Lan, I met Shuang Yun for some unknown reason, and then brought her back."
Bai Lan saw her and then looked at Shuang Yun beside him. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the beads."
Zhao Mingzhu poured it out of her purse and said, "Here."
Bai Lan looked at the cracks on it and understood.
It seems that Zhao Mingzhu chose to use it on this maid.
Bai Lan pinched the beads and uttered a few strange songs. Shuangyun fell to the ground unconscious.
"Crown Princess, you have only one chance to obtain this pearl..."
…
When Gu Qingheng heard the news, he came back from the study and saw that there was suddenly another person in the room, who was Shuangyun, who was already dead.
A look of surprise flashed across his face, but he immediately accepted it. Since it was something related to Zhao Mingzhu, it wasn't that hard to accept.
When Shuangyun saw Changhe, she swung the ruler in her hand that she used to teach the little palace maid without thinking.
"Bang, bang, bang! Damn it, you're finally in my hands!"
Changhe stood there blankly, looking at Shuangyun who was full of energy in front of him. He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say.
Is this really Shuangyun? Is he dreaming?
Shuangyun was tired from fighting, so she sat down on the ground to rest. Looking at Changhe's shocked face, she said unhappily:
"What are you looking at? Don't you know me? Loading!"
Changhe was shocked. At this time, Changshu heard the news and hurried over. After coming in, he was also shocked to see Shuangyun.
"Shuangyun!" Changshu ignored the rules and stepped forward to hold Shuangyun's hand.
"You're not... Oh my God, am I dazzled..."
Changshu was incoherent, but his eyes were red.
This was his wife who died on their wedding day, and now she was standing before him alive.
Shuangyun wanted to refuse, but the moment Changshu touched her hand, memories came flooding back, and the happiness of their honeymoon came back.
There was no doubt that she liked growing trees, even if it still seemed a little unreal, but Shuangyun did not break free.
"Yes, Changshu is me."
Zhao Mingzhu got everything clear from Bai Lan, and then saw Shuangyun and Changshu holding hands.
As Bai Lan said, Shuangyun will slowly regain her memory, and she and Changshu will be able to stay together safely in this life.
"Changshu, we should have told you this news earlier, but we were all worried that Shuangyun couldn't be saved, leaving you feeling disappointed and grief-stricken, so we didn't tell you directly."
Zhao Mingzhu found a reasonable reason for Shuangyun's resurrection, and then continued:
"Now, I have consulted many famous doctors, and all the poison in her body has been removed. You can rest assured."
After hearing this, Changshu felt as if he had not woken up from his dream. He nodded repeatedly:
"I understand. I will never forget the great kindness of the Crown Princess."
Zhao Mingzhu waved her hand and said lazily, "Take your bride back. The night is still long."
This double entendre made Shuangyun blush.
What did she want to say? Although she couldn't remember how the Crown Princess saved her, it was good enough that she was alive.
"Princess Consort, I thank you for saving my life."
From then on, Shuangyun only remembered that it was Zhao Mingzhu who secretly saved her after her wedding.
Changshu and Shuangyun kowtowed and walked out together, ready to go home.
"Shuangyun!" Changhe chased out, then looked at her and took out the hairpin from his arms.
He noticed that there was nothing above Shuangyun's head except for a silk flower.
"Did you lose yours? I'm giving this one to you and your brother."
Shuangyun thought about it and it seemed that she had lost it. Then she laughed and said, "This is a gift from your mother to your new bride. What are you going to do with me and Changshu?"
Changhe stuffed the money into Changshu's hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I have no plans to get married." After he said that, he turned around and went back.
Changshu felt the warmth of the hairpin. Since he wasn't going to marry, why did he carry it with him?
…
Zhao Mingzhu tossed and turned because her abdomen was so heavy, so Gu Qingheng waited until she fell asleep before returning to the study.
"Can't sleep?"
Zhao Mingzhu nodded: "A little bit."
Gu Qingheng's voice rang out clearly in the night.
"You asked Bai Lan to come here. Did you reach some kind of deal with him?" It must be about Shuangyun.
When Zhao Mingzhu opened her eyes, she knew she couldn't hide it from him, and she hadn't intended to hide it in the first place.
"He gave me something that could take me home, but I didn't agree and replaced it with Shuangyun's resurrection."
Zhao Mingzhu kept her words short, but she had no idea how much her words stirred up in the hearts of others.
Gu Qingheng tightened his grip around her, his jaw clenched tightly. "Mingzhu, I'm very happy."
Zhao Mingzhu actually gave up... gave up returning to such a beautiful hometown.
"Then it's too early for you to be happy."
It was just too painful to be a slave. Here she had family, friends, and a home...
As soon as Zhao Mingzhu finished speaking, she felt the pain in her abdomen and the wetness between her legs, then she grabbed his arm and said:
"Gu Qingheng...I think I'm about to give birth."
An Yun still came out to greet him. Bai Lan saw her at the bottom of the stairs, but before she could smile, he hurriedly said:
"Where's Mingzhu? How is she?"
Bai Lan shook his head: "I don't know."
An Yun immediately climbed onto the carriage, urged the driver to go faster, and took the time to say to Bai Lan:
"Hurry up, I keep thinking she's about to give birth, I'm so panicked!"
Before Bai Lan could utter any words of comfort, the carriage left.
Bai Lan...
No one ever said a love rival would be a woman.
At the gate of the East Palace, Gu Yu, who had received the news, was about to go in when he saw An Yun jumping off the carriage.
"You knew that so early?"
General Yongwei's Mansion is much farther away than the Princess's Mansion.
An Yun was stunned: "Know what?"
The two of them talked as they walked in. Gu Yu said, "I thought you had received the news, but I didn't expect you to have guessed it."
An Yun waved her hand after hearing this: "It was just my intuition that worked. I was surprised too."
Just as the two were about to step into Tingchao Courtyard, Zhao Mingzhu's shrill cry was heard.
Then came.
"Gu Qingheng, fuck your grandpa! If I have another child, I'll be a moron!"
"Ah! It hurts so fucking bad!"
An Yun shuddered. It sounded so scary.
Gu Yu was also shocked. As for childbirth, she had seen cats before and didn't think it was so scary. She thought that although Zhao Mingzhu would feel pain, it probably wouldn't be very painful.
Unexpectedly, she was overthinking it... Gu Yu couldn't help but shudder.
"Princess, Miss An." Yinzhu stood guard outside to avoid any unwary collisions.
"Where is my royal brother?"
"His Highness is inside."
Gu Yu nodded after hearing this: "At this time, he must stay by Mingzhu's side and let him see with his own eyes how Mingzhu suffers for this child."
There were already too many people inside. An Yun leaned on the window and looked at Zhao Mingzhu sweating profusely, feeling heartbroken.
"Gu Yu, is there nothing that can relieve the pain?"
Gu Yu shook her head. She didn’t remember.
The smell of blood in the house gradually thickened, and Gu Qingheng listened to Zhao Mingzhu's unconscious words.
"I want an epidural, doctor! An epidural..."
Even though Gu Qingheng was able to plan a hundred steps ahead, he had no idea how to deal with this matter.
If Mingzhu could stay in her hometown, wouldn't things be different?
…
"It's born, it's a little princess! Mother and daughter are safe!"
Gu Yu and An Yun hugged each other: "That's great!"
Zhao Mingzhu had fallen asleep. Her face was pale and her hair was messy. Gu Qingheng kissed her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mingzhu."
From then on, Gu Qingheng ordered Bo Ling to lead people to secretly develop a medicine to reduce the pain of women during childbirth.
It was not until he ascended the throne that he allowed the Imperial Medical Bureau to get involved.
After continuous experiments and trials, this medicine gradually became popular among the people.
