Chapter 278 Xiao Lan looks for her
However, Yun Qiao would rather not take bitter medicine than sweet one.
I don't know if Chen Jingyan's plan to "make trouble" was successful, but Xiao Lan has not appeared outside the border of South City for some time. Yun Qiao's body has finally recovered after half a month of recuperation.
During the period of pregnancy preservation, the doctor will check the baby's pulse every day to ensure that the baby is healthy.
Yun Qiao and Chen Jingyan were relieved.
But Yun Qiao didn't expect that Xiao Lan would be so bold. While Chen Jingyan was out training soldiers, he broke into the South City General's Mansion alone.
Yun Qiao thought that Nancheng was as safe as an iron wall, but unexpectedly, when she was sitting in the yard looking at the account book, Xiao Lan came.
He was dressed in white and wore a mask that looked like a handsome man. He looked extremely handsome.
"Long time no see, Xiaoqiao."
After hearing the voice, Yun Qiao looked up and saw Xiao Lan standing in front of her.
"How did you get in? You dare to break into the general's mansion, General Xiao, you are so brave."
Xiao Lan was really not afraid. He sat down next to Yun Qiao and took a look at the account book in her hand.
"South City's account book. If South City and Manchester City could trade, it would be a great thing."
Yun Qiao snorted, "You didn't come here just to talk to me about the trade between Manchester City and South City, right?"
"I came to you hoping you could convince Chen Jingyan that if he helps me take the throne of the Manchu Empire, I will promise him that our two countries will maintain a hundred years of friendly relations. I will definitely not start a war while I am still alive."
Yun Qiao looked at Xiao Lan curiously.
"Why don't you go find Chen Jingyan, General Xiao? Why don't you go find me? What can I do?"
"I just wanted to see you." Xiao Lan sighed. He looked at Yun Qiao, and all he could think about was Yun Qiao when she was a child. They shared a steamed bun together. No matter what fun things he found outside, he would save them for her. And no matter what food she got at Chen's house, she would leave a portion for him.
She also likes to act like an older sister and call him little brother...
She said that he was her little follower, and if he wanted to eat something in the future, he had to call her sister and she would give it to him.
As Xiao Lan thought about the past, his eyes became more gentle.
"If I hadn't left, or if I had taken you away, would you have become my princess?"
Yun Qiao: “No.”
"Xiao Lan, don't make yourself sound so devoted. Where's your beautiful bride? If I'm not mistaken, that Jiaolan is yours, right?"
Is the child that Jiaolan is pregnant also Xiao Lan’s?
If that were the case, General Meng Liang would be in real trouble.
He was cuckolded by someone, and the person he was talking to was an enemy general.
Xiao Lan didn't refute, but he explained, "We're just using each other. She was originally from a brothel. I redeemed her and she helped me do things. What's wrong with that?"
Why not?
Men really will take advantage of the women around them for power.
"She might love you."
Before Yun Qiao could finish her words, Xiao Lan said in a slightly irritated tone, "She doesn't deserve it."
His dislike for Guerlain was naked and unconcealed. Yun Qiao didn't even want to talk to a man like him.
"Xiao Qiao, but you are different. If you follow me, I will give you the position of princess. Later, I will give you the position of queen."
His words would be a great temptation to an ordinary woman.
But Yunqiao is not so keen on these powers.
"I'm fine now, and I'm pregnant. Are you going to be a father?"
Xiao Lan looked at Yun Qiao, his eyes fixed on her belly. "You're quite fast. If I remember correctly, Chen Jingyan just got out of your Great Zhou prison."
Yun Qiao felt a little embarrassed when he stared at her and asked her questions.
"Why do you care so much?"
"As long as he's your son, I'd be happy to be his father." Xiao Lan's words sounded a bit shameless.
Yun Qiao glared at him. "You're willing, but I'm not. I advise you to leave immediately. I'll convey what you said to Chen Jingyan."
I was so bored that I had to make such a trip.
She was so scared that she thought she was going to be kidnapped again.
Xiao Lan's visit this time was truly an unexpected move.
He was originally very irritable, but when he came to Yun Qiao and had a few words with her, his mood actually improved a lot. It was still the same as before. Whenever he had something bothering him, he would talk to her and his mood would be much better.
Xiao Lan came and went without a trace...
Yun Qiao was in a state of uncertainty that day.
As soon as Chen Jingyan came back, Yun Qiao told him about this.
Chen Jingyan looked at Yun Qiao and asked her, "Did Xiao Lan hurt you?"
"No, I just wanted to talk to me."
"He is really powerful, able to break into my general's mansion."
Chen Jingyan was thinking in his heart that the guards of South City were really good-looking but useless.
He originally thought that with so many guards in South City, Yun Qiao would be safe here.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan from Man State broke in directly without them even noticing.
He still had to send out his secret guards to protect Yun Qiao.
"A bunch of untrained losers who can't even ensure the basic safety of the General's Mansion."
Chen Jingyan said in a low voice.
"My Lord, you can't blame them entirely. Xiao Lan is a martial artist, and he didn't hurt me this time. However, judging by his intentions, he wants you to help him."
Chen Jingyan said coldly: "Why should I help him? If he becomes emperor, the first thing he will do is to mobilize the military to attack Nancheng."
This is not impossible...
But Yun Qiao felt that Xiao Lan didn't think so.
He is indeed in a rather lost stage now, which can be seen from his heart.
"He also said a condition: if you help him become the emperor of the country, he will give up his idea of being against me."
In fact, Yun Qiao didn't dare to tell Chen Jingyan.
Xiao Lan said: Tell Chen Jingyan that when I ascend the throne, I won't let his son call me dad...
It's so hurtful for you to say that.
Chen Jingyan looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't believe it.
This girl's words were not so true. He could hear her inner thoughts before, and she really said one thing on the surface and another in private.
"Did he really say that?"
"Really? I'm sure of it. As for why I didn't go to you, I think it's because I was afraid you wouldn't trust him, so I wanted to find you and talk to you. But, Lord, I'm not speaking for Xiao Lan. Everyone has their own responsibilities. His responsibility is the same as yours: to win the battle..."
"Yun Qiao, what country are you from? Why would you say such a thing? Your thoughts are wrong. You must be loyal to the Great Zhou and not let others sway your patriotism."
Yun Qiao was severely punished by Chen Jingyan.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Chen Jingyan's words became much gentler.
"But are you angry? Was my tone too harsh?"
Yun Qiao said in a muffled voice, "You are the Marquis, how dare I say anything about you? If you say anything about me, I can only prick up my ears and listen."
Chen Jingyan could hear the anger in her words.
"It's my fault. My tone was too harsh. I apologize to Madam."
Yun Qiao pursed her lips and smiled slightly.
"My Lord, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you. No matter which way, Xiao Lan has met with me. Since he's interested in signing a Hundred Years of Peace Treaty, and he seems very anxious, you could offer some suggestions that would benefit us..."
Chen Jingyan looked at Yun Qiao cheerfully and said, "Did you really not promise Xiao Lan anything? Why did he tell you so much?"
Yun Qiao rolled her eyes.
"I'm guessing, believe it or not."
Chen Jingyan naturally believed Yun Qiao's words. He knew very well what the woman who had slept with him for so long was thinking.
However, he still had doubts about Xiao Lan's words.
"My Lord, I miss my children. I want to go back to Mobei."
Chen Jingyan walked forward and rubbed Yun Qiao's cheek.
"Wait a little longer, until the baby in your belly is more stable. I'm worried about going back now."
"I feel much more stable now, but I'm worried about my children at home."
She hasn’t felt the baby in her belly yet, but the three at home are really worried about her.
"After a while, if I can handle the matter with Manguo in a short time, I will send you back myself. If it takes a long time, I will let Wuying send you back, okay?"
Just wait a little longer.
Yun Qiao had no choice but to agree.
She had a lot of things on her mind, so Maidong and Lu Yu set off back to Kyoto.
Their marriage had the consent of Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao, but Yun Qiao also had to prepare the dowry. She had originally thought of taking the children to Kyoto and watching Mai Dong get married in person no matter what.
But now I am pregnant.
Mixed feelings.
