Chapter 419 Mother, when will you give birth to a younger sister?
After the two countries signed the agreement, Zhao Xing and his court officials felt that they no longer needed Xiao Xuance and set about seizing his military power.
The more than 100,000 Hebei troops originally commanded by Marshal Ye were replaced by Zhao Xuan's trusted confidants.
Xiao Xuance only had a little over 100,000 Zhenbei Army soldiers under his command, and he had already surrendered his military seal.
If Zhao Xuan sends his own men to replace his trusted confidants, he will be left with no one to command.
Xiao Xuance didn't care at all, and even took seven days off to spend time with his wife and children at the mountain villa.
Play when the sun rises, and work when the sun sets.
When a man is satisfied, he feels refreshed and invigorated.
Yun Zhaoxue was exhausted and didn't wake up until almost noon the next morning. She could only go out for a stroll or plant some crops, tend to the flowers and plants, and spend time with the children in the afternoon. Half a day would pass by in no time, and after dinner in the evening, she would be entangled with the man again.
The man, who had been starving for three years, pounced on her like a hungry wolf, without stopping for a single day.
Da Bao is reading a book in the yard.
Erbao has disappeared somewhere; he's probably gone off to play with Nannan again.
Nannan is the nickname Zhao Zhenrou gave to her niece.
After spending a lot of time together, she developed feelings for the child and couldn't bear to let someone else raise him. She planned to raise him herself, since she had already made up her mind not to get married.
Neither of their identities could be revealed. She planned to live in anonymity with her child and wait for the right time to tell Zhao Furou about the child's existence.
"Da Bao, where's Er Bao? Where did he go?"
Da Bao said, "He went to see his sister."
"Mother, when are you and Father planning to have another baby girl?"
Yun Zhaoxue hadn't planned to have any more children, but seeing how cute and cuddly other people's daughters were, she wanted another one.
Yun Zhaoxue doesn't plan to have children for the time being; she'll think about it in two years.
Xiao Xuance, wanting to avoid having children, privately asked Hua Murong if there were any contraceptives for men. They did, but the side effects were too severe.
Hua Murong advised him against taking it, fearing it might cause him to lose his ability to have children or lead to problems in that area.
I recommended an ancient version of condoms to him, which were usually made from sheep intestines or fish bladders.
Yun Zhaoxue felt the experience was unpleasant and unhealthy.
She happened to have a large stockpile of condoms, enough for a while. If all else fails, they can use physical barriers. If he accidentally gets pregnant, she'll get him sterilized.
Three children are enough; these are things for later, we'll talk about them then.
Da Bao didn't want to recognize Nan Nan as his younger sister, but Er Bao kept mentioning it, so he also wanted to have his own little sister.
“You and Erbao are still young and need someone to take care of you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you all. Let’s talk about it later.”
They also wanted to enjoy a few years of life as a couple.
Erbao was indeed with Zhao Zhenrou. He brought all his toys over and was using a rattle drum to amuse Nannan.
He could also perform some simple magic tricks. "Little sister, don't close your eyes! Open your eyes and watch me do it!"
With her hands clasped together, the handkerchief in her hands transformed into a flower.
The little girl couldn't take her eyes off him. Her bright brown eyes stared at him, her eyebrows curving as if to say, "Brother, you're amazing!"
Yun Zhaoxue came over and talked to Zhao Zhenrou for a while. Nannan was hungry, so the wet nurse fed her. Then she got sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
She then left with Da Bao.
Just as she was about to go to inspect the fields, the manor's steward rushed over to report, "Princess, something has happened. The Second Young Master and Young Master Xu have arrived, along with several people. They seem to be injured."
This estate originally belonged to the Pei family, but was adopted into her name. These people are loyal to the Pei family, and Yun Zhaoxue trusted them after examining their character. A few cunning and deceitful individuals have already been driven away.
The second young master mentioned by the butler is Pei Huaiji.
"Injured? How badly injured? I'll go check on you."
"One or two of them are quite seriously injured, Princess. Should I go to the doctor immediately?"
"No need for now, I'll go take a look first."
"Xue'er, I'm sorry to bother you. We are being searched throughout the city and have nowhere else to turn, so we came to seek refuge with you. We'll rest here for a while and leave when it gets dark."
He didn't know that Yun Zhaoxue had also moved to the estate.
If he had known earlier, he would have taken his friends to another estate, and those people might have caught up with them at any time.
"We're all family, let's not talk about that, come in."
Yun Zhaoxue then instructed, "Uncle Fu, go and remove all the footprints nearby."
"Yes, Princess." Uncle Fu nodded slightly and then gestured for the group to leave.
They joined a Loyalty Society, composed of chivalrous individuals from the martial arts world, which assassinated the Great Jing delegation in the streets.
The assassination attempt failed during the day, so they went to the residence where the delegation was staying at midnight to attempt another assassination.
Xu Yao was seriously injured; he had been stabbed in the chest.
He spent a lot of money to bribe the soldiers guarding the city to leave the city gate, but they were immediately chased and killed by a group of people as soon as they stepped out of the gate.
Several of their brothers died, and they fled all the way here.
Xu Yao lost too much blood and was breathing weakly, requiring sutures and a blood transfusion.
Pei Huaiji's right arm was slashed so deep that the bone was visible, and he couldn't even hold a needle properly, so he couldn't save the person.
Yun Zhaoxue first treated Xu Yao, whose wounds were the most severe.
Xu Yao was in a daze, as if he had one foot in the grave and was about to die.
"Cousin, I might be dying. Please tell Cui Yunxi not to wait for me anymore, and to find a good man to marry..."
Cui Yunxi is his fiancée. The two have been bickering since childhood and dislike each other. They are a pair of sworn enemies, and no one is optimistic about their relationship, thinking that the engagement will be broken off.
Once, while out for a spring outing, Cui Yunxi sprained her ankle, and the carriage broke down. Xu Yao carried her home on his back, brought her medicine several times, and even learned a massage technique from Hua Murong.
After a while, the two fell in love and got along very well. If nothing unexpected happens, they will get married next month.
Pei Huaiji knelt down on one knee by the bedside, grabbed his hand, and said anxiously, "Ayao, you absolutely can't die! If you leave, how will I explain to my uncle..."
Yun Zhaoxue prepared the rescue equipment and came over to lift Pei Huaiji away. "He's still breathing, he won't die. Go outside and wait, I'll stitch him up in a bit."
After saving this one, they saved that one.
Yun Zhaoxue spent the entire afternoon healing them all.
Xiao Xuance spent half the day planting in the field, but his wife didn't show up for a long time.
Last night, after our passionate lovemaking, we lingered in each other's company.
Yun Zhaoxue couldn't take it anymore, so in order to find him something to do and expend his energy, she said that she missed the days when he worked in the fields in Lingnan.
He went to work in the fields early the next morning and worked all day, but his wife didn't come back. When he returned, he found out that his brother-in-law had an accident.
The man from Dajing went to Dazhou to harm his brother-in-law.
This is outrageous!
Those people were killed in the woods before they could find the village.
