The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown - Chapter 126
[Chapter 126]
Concubine Mu deliberately put Gu Nanci up front, because she felt that whether Xie Ying was looking at Gu Taiyan’s face or Gu Nanci’s sake, she would have a place in the palace in the future. It would be easier for Xie Ying to accept Zhu Dai by starting with her.
“After all, Nanci has waited for you for so many years. Accepting her is an explanation for her and Mr. Gu.”
Xie Ying’s expression has not changed, his eyes have frozen. He said, “Grandmother said carefully, Gu Nanci was married before, and it was only because of disagreement with her husband that she divorced, so why wait for me to tell you.”
“Why did she and Li, A Ying doesn’t know the reason? Or…”
Old Princess Mu’s words were interrupted by Xie Ying’s voice when he put down the teacup, and then watched him suddenly get up.
Concubine Mu was shocked. Unexpectedly, she only asked Xie Ying to take her concubine, and the other party responded so badly.
Xie Ying’s voice was not high: “Grandmother is old, it’s important to take care of yourself, don’t worry about me anymore. I don’t want to hear similar words again, and I don’t allow such words to spread to the princess’ ears. Princess I just gave my life to give birth to my first son, and I hope my grandmother will not let me be a merciless person.”
“I… this is also for your sake!” Old Princess Mu didn’t expect that he would even perfunctory her and pretend not to.
Xie Ying pulled out a sarcastic smile and said, “No matter who ascends the throne in the Xie family, grandmother can be honored.
The last sentence is really rude.
However, Old Princess Mu could only watch him say “farewell to the grandson” and then turned to leave. The old lady’s heart burst into a rush of fire, making her eyes dark and she almost fainted. King Wei Ning had always been obedient in front of her, but a grandson of Xie Ying treated her like this. The maids around were busy supporting Old Princess Mu, but they all bowed their heads and dared not say a word.
Old Princess Mu thought that as long as Zhu Yi’s status as a mistress was guaranteed, she proposed that taking a concubine would be a sure thing, but at this time, she could only keep calling her heartache, and Xie Ying had nothing to do.
No matter how chaotic his North Courtyard was, Xie Ying took care of himself and returned to Lushi Courtyard.
Zhu Yi was awake, and the two talked for a while. Zhu Yi used a joke to hide the loss that he didn’t see Xie Ying when he woke up, and said, “I thought you went to Beijing when you saw me and A Rong.”
Xie Ying said: “How come. I will stay until Yiyi comes out of the moon, and then take you and A Rong to Beijing.”
Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled in surprise: “Really?” She thought that Xie Ying would be leaving after a few days.
“Well. Now the weather is bad, your body is not allowed, and the Forbidden City is being renovated. It will be just right when you are out of the moon.” Zhu Yi’s mother and son were too far away from him, and he was worried after all. Being called out by Old Princess Mu like this strengthened his determination even more.
He said again: “Zhu Ning will also go to Beijing. When she and Zhu Chuo are with you, you will not be bored.”
“Eldest sister is also going to Beijing?” Zhu Yi was even happier when she heard the words. Immediately frowned: “But, in case the Yan family invades the capital during this period of time, if they hold Zhu Xiujing as their flag, the restoration of the Zhu family is justifiable…” Xie Ying led the army to replace the Yongnan palace, wouldn’t it be for the Yan family to marry?
Xie Ying said: “The Yan family will not attack Zhongzhou for the time being. King Jinghai is dead. The Yan family is fighting internally.”
It was a good time for Xie Ying to attack Jingzhou in one go. Regardless of the opposition of the generals, he must rush back to Weizhou, just because Zhu Yi is about to give birth. A woman giving birth to a child is the most dangerous moment in her life, and there are people in the palace who have ulterior motives for Zhu Yi.
Xie Ying almost didn’t think about it, so he gave up the attack on Jingzhou and chose to return to Weizhou. If Zhu Yi had an accident, what would it mean for him to conquer the country. Thinking that Zhu Yi was also thinking of him, he wanted to go back to her immediately.
Zhu Yi was stunned. She was even more surprised when she heard the news of King Jinghai’s death. The Yan family was actually fighting inside…
“Isn’t King Jinghai the only son of Yan Fengqin? Who is fighting him?”
Xie Ying replied: “It was Yan Yu’er and Zhu Xiujing who formed a party and were fighting for power with Yan Fengqin.”
Zhu Yi was even more surprised: “Isn’t Yan Yu’er’s brother Yan Fengqin? Why did she help Zhu Xiujing, Ah Chuo’s brother?”
The man said slowly, “I don’t know that.”
Zhu Yi didn’t really believe that Xie Ying didn’t know the reason, but after she asked, she immediately remembered that the last time she was in Qinzhou, she had seen Yan Fengqin and Yan Yu’er fighting each other with her own eyes.
“However, how could Yan Fengqin give Yan Yu’er and the others a chance to start an infighting?”
Xie Ying simply said: “Yan Yu’er is a very crazy person.”
Zhu Yi always felt that when Xie Ying answered her questions about Jingzhou, he always said half and half, as if some things were unwilling to be fully disclosed to her. But it was about Yan Fengqin, so she didn’t want to ask too much, lest he have any thoughts.
Wu Feitu left, and a month passed quickly.
Because Zhu Yi had exercised a lot before, she ate a lot during confinement, and recovered very well.
She never tried to stay out for a whole month. It happened just after the Spring Festival, and the lanterns on the street had not yet been removed. Xie Yingzhi was so nervous that she took her to the street to visit the splendid spring night in Weiyuan City.
Tomorrow is about to leave for Beijing, Zhu Yi instructed everyone to pack up, and said, “Lu Shiyuan is so beautiful, I’m really reluctant to leave.”
In fact, she is reluctant to her new house. Zhu Yi stood under the mica canopy specially built for her by Xie Ying. The raindrops fell on the top of the transparent mica screen, splashing water. The courtyard was tender red and green, and the water was pure in spring.
“We can come back later.” Xie Ying comforted her. He added, “I have something to discuss with Yiyi.”
The two returned to Ah Rong’s bed, and Zhu Yi asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Yi Yi also knows what my purpose in fighting this battle is. In order to avoid Ali’s embarrassment in the future, Ali must change his surname to Xie from now on.” Xie Ying didn’t tell Zhu Yi how big he was. It was only because of pressure that Zhu Xiuli’s life was saved from Gu Taiyan and Sheng Xiao. Killing Zhu Xiuli secretly was the unanimous proposition of his two teachers.
Zhu Yi thought for a moment, then said, “Okay, I will convince Ali.”
She has always been grateful that Xie Ying was willing to save Zhu Xiuli’s life instead of letting Zhu Xiuli die for “unknown reasons”. Even if Xie Ying didn’t say it, she also understood that if someone claimed that the orthodox bloodline of the Zhu family still existed in the future, it would be troublesome after all, even if Xie Ying had the ability to suppress Xie Ying through Zhu Xiuli’s reaction. Most people will choose to cut the weeds and remove the roots.
Zhu Yi took Xie Ying’s hand and said, “Thank you, husband.”
The man glanced at her. When I thank you, I call my husband, and I usually call me by my first name. I didn’t like Zhu Yi saying thank you, but the word “husband” was called out by her voice, which made him feel really comfortable, so he said, “Just verbally thank you?”
Zhu Yi knew what he was thinking when he saw his eyes, took the initiative to climb Xie Ying’s shoulders, kissed each other, and used what he learned from him, from shallow to deep, and gave a long kiss. She didn’t let him go until her cheeks were flushed and she was slightly panting.
Xie Ying closed her eyes and passively enjoyed it before saying, “This is still verbal.”
Zhu Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and tidied up his son’s quilt, pretending not to hear.
But she was wrapped around her waist by a man from behind with his arms, and he imprisoned her freedom: “Yiyi, can you help me?”
The fiery temperature behind Zhu Yi is showing his strong possessiveness. After understanding his suggestion, she glanced at the soundly sleeping child, slightly embarrassed: “What if Ah Rong wakes up later, what do you do with your hands?”
Xie Ying said, “How is that the same? I just like Yiyi’s hands.” She added in her heart that Yiyi’s hands are petite and tender, soft and boneless, can they feel the same as his own? He coaxed again: “A Rong just fell asleep, how can she wake up so quickly.”
Zhu Yi’s eyes were glued to Ah Rong’s face, still hesitant.
“Then let’s go to the clean room.” Xie Ying means to take a step back, and he will not give up until the goal is achieved. As he said that, Wen Yan and two wet nurses were called in to guard his son, while the son’s mother was brought into the clean room and allowed him to do anything wrong…
When entering Beijing this time, Xie Yingben wanted to bring Princess Lian along, but was rejected by the other party.
A group of people arrived in the capital in the spring of February.
Zhu Yi stood under the red wall of the palace in the warm sun, smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms peeking down the wall. Although he had only been away from here for more than a year, seeing the familiar scenery, he felt like a world away.
As soon as Xie Ying entered Beijing, she didn’t have the leisure to accompany her and Ah Rong in Weizhou, and the day after they came back, the two only met once in the evening.
It took a few days to get together like this. But no matter how late, Xie Ying will always return to the mother and son. The beginning of everything is difficult, and Zhu Yi understands.
There will be news soon.
The Yan family’s army was divided into two groups, heading from the east to the Central Plains.
Xie Shao led his troops back from the south, and instead of returning to Weizhou, he went straight to the capital.

To the finger. The ending is a bit sluggish, I don’t want to end it, I want to explain all the foreshadowing and important characters that have been explained, so it is relatively slow.
And what kind of extras do the little angels want to see? It was originally a short story about incompetent stars, but because this list has 20,000 words, it may be a few thousand words short of the end, so I have to go hard.
