This war lasted longer than the emperor had expected.
It didn’t end until the first snow fell in Shengjing City.
On the day it snowed, Jiang Qi and Yue Lingfeng stayed with Wen Yu and built a huge snowman together.
Of course, it’s mainly them who piled it up.
"Liuchun, go get a red cloak for the snowman to wear."
"If only there were still a crown and a scepter."
Wen Yu lay back in the rocking chair: "This snow is really heavy."
Yue Lingfeng stuffed a hand warmer into Wen Yu's hand: "Princess, please keep warm."
Wen Yu looked at him and said, "I should be the one saying this to you. You used to get sick all the time with coughs and fevers. The weather is getting colder, so you need to take good care of yourself."
"I am much better now."
Yue Lingfeng hasn't coughed for a long time, but he really needs to be careful in winter to avoid triggering old illnesses.
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly and he smiled, "I never thought that a weak and fragile me would be favored by the princess."
He even became the princess's second lover.
Jiang Qi obviously didn't quite understand either.
He looked at Yue Lingfeng expressionlessly.
Jiang Qi only found out later that when Wen Yu was investigating the prostitution case, the emperor ordered him to assist the princess, but the princess thought he was an old man, so she never came to find him.
After listening to Wen Yu's words on the bed, he felt a sense of inexplicable grievance in his heart. He felt that because of this he met the princess late, which made him lag behind Yue Lingfeng.
So they continued to do it on the bed for a while longer, causing Wen Yu to gasp for breath and say, "It's not you, old man, you're not..."
"The princess must have met me at the palace banquet and in the palace..."
"Why do you still think that I am an old man?"
"Was the princess the only one with eyes on Prime Minister Lin at that time?"
What Jiang Qi was referring to was naturally the statement made by Wen Yu in front of all the civil and military officials, saying that Lin Yuzhi didn't want her and that they would be together for the rest of their lives.
At that time, he did not know the princess. It was a pure relationship between a monarch and his subject. He always saw her from afar and strictly observed the etiquette between a monarch and his subject.
He had no intention of desecrating the princess at all.
At that time, he could never have imagined that he would now be lying on the princess's couch, embracing her.
"Princess, why don't you speak? Did I find out what you were thinking?"
Wen Yu grabbed Jiang Qi's shoulders: "No..."
Jiang Qi pursed his lips.
Wen Yu tilted her head back and shook for a long time, then bit his shoulder: "I thought you were an old man, what's wrong?"
Jiang Qi seemed a little tired after hearing this. He stared at Wen Yu and said, "I am an old man. How can I have the energy to serve the princess? Princess, please forgive me for taking a rest."
“……”Neither up nor down.
Is this called lack of strength?
Wen Yu kissed the corner of his lips, "Baby, you are the most handsome."
Jiang Qi: ...
He clasped Wen Yu's ten fingers, placed them on his lips and kissed them: "Princess, I only regret not getting to know you earlier."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "It's not good to be too early. This is just right."
Jiang Qi hummed, kissed Wen Yu, and enjoyed himself silently.
Prime Minister Lin came early enough, but it seems there is no good in being early.
Jiang Qi came back to his senses from his memories, put the red cloak on the snowman, looked back at Wen Yu, and a faint smile appeared on his usually serious face.
Wen Yu hasn't seen Lu Ren and Ning Xuanyan for two months.
I heard that after several bloody battles, Donglin Pass was recaptured by Ning Xuanyan, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
With the support of Lu Ren, the situation in Nanyu Pass was stabilized.
After Lance learned that Lu Ren was not in Beiyang Pass, he took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on Beiyang Pass.
But Lu Ren's deputy general is no pushover either. It won't be a problem for him to wait until Lu Ren comes back. This is also one of the main reasons why Lu Ren dared to leave.
The Xiqin Pass had experienced wailing everywhere after the city was conquered by Xili. Facing this invasion, they were extremely hateful and their morale was high.
In addition, the largest country outside the Great Wall, Xili, had been destroyed long ago, and the other small countries were not as united as the other three small countries in the Great Wall. They often fought against each other, so the two sides were actually in a subtle balance.
At this time in Donglin Pass, Ning Xuanyan had a bandage on his chest, his coat draped over his body, leaning against the head of the bed, his face pale, and holding a somewhat worn brocade bag in his hand.
There was a piece of broken hair inside.
It was the same strand that he cut off when he was about to kill Wen Yu.
"You definitely didn't miss me..."
Ning Xuanyan murmured, then chuckled and sighed.
"My Lord, the doctor is here to change your dressing."
Hua Yao stopped at the door and motioned for the doctor to come in.
"By the way, my Lord, there is a girl who has been wanting to see you."
Ning Xuanyan held the brocade bag tightly, his heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Who?"
Wen Yu? Is she here at Donglin Pass?
Hua Yao said, "That's the girl you saved a few days ago."
Ning Xuanyan's expression turned expressionless again after hearing this, and he said in a cold tone: "Who?"
Huayao: ...
She understood and turned and left.
She found the girl and told her: "Go away, this is not the place for you."
Although the girl was dressed very simply, she was very neat and tidy: "He saved me, I just want to repay him for saving my life."
After Donglin broke through the pass, she hid for a long time, but was still caught. The coalition forces wanted to do something indecent to her.
But she was lucky, as Donglin Pass was recaptured at this time and the young man saved her by shooting her with an arrow.
"I don't ask for anything else, I just want to repay you for saving my life by giving me my body. If it weren't for you, I... I would..."
Hua Yao said: "The Lord does not need you to repay him for saving his life, let alone repay him with your body. In his eyes, you are all his people and subjects. The Lord will save anyone."
"I pledge my love to you voluntarily..."
Hua Yao said directly: "The master has already married."
The girl was stunned, she didn't quite understand. It was common for a man to take concubines and maids after marrying a wife, so what's wrong with having a wife?
Seeing her puzzled expression, Hua Yao suddenly smiled and said, "My master is a henpecked husband."
"You better leave now, or you'll soon find out that coming here is a huge mistake."
