Chang'an is good

Chapter 602 Give Birth to This Child (asking for monthly ticket)

That half piece of paper had already turned yellow, and several fold cracks appeared as it was unfolded, but fortunately the content was clearly visible, and the small regular script handwriting showed some signs of shaking. As Ma Wan read on, her fingers trembled and her eyes were filled with turmoil.

It revealed a big thing, or more than one thing...

Looking at the words like "the former crown prince", "Princess Chongyue", and the shocking "truth" revealed in them, Ma Wan's head was buzzing, every hair on her body stood up like needles, her fingertips became cold and numb, and the blood seemed to have stopped flowing.

Even though she was not that sensitive to political affairs, she understood the shock that would be caused if this handwritten "confession" written by Princess Rong was circulated.

Unbelievable, Ma Wan subconsciously questioned the truth... But why would Princess Rong lie about such a thing? ! And it was obvious that this thing had existed for many years, it was definitely not a fantasy before dying of a long illness!

[They all have no heart...]

[One day, maybe I can make it known to the public…]

Ma Wan could not help but hear the voice of Princess Rong before her death——

Princess Rong also said that she thought she had married the best husband in the world...

Ma Wan looked at the paper in her hand. So, was it this incident that made Princess Rong discover the true identity of the man beside her?
Lan Ying's footsteps sounded behind her. Ma Wan quickly folded the paper neatly according to the original traces and stuffed it back into the golden lock. The golden lock was hollow inside and could be opened and closed. The paper had been hidden in the lock core and accidentally touched the secret buckle when it fell just now.

"Girl..."

"Take this with you!" Ma Wan handed the golden lock to Lan Ying: "This is Princess Rong's relic, remember to keep it safe! Remember!"

Lan Ying vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it at the moment, so she could only obey and nod.

Ma Wan urged again: "Hurry up and pack some clothes. It's getting late. We need to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too conspicuous if we leave the camp after dark!"

Lan Ying agreed and squatted down beside the suitcase to pack her clothes and luggage.

Ma Wan's heart was beating like thunder. She paced back and forth in the tent. After a while, she suddenly walked to the table, ground some paper, and wrote.

After Lan Ying packed up everything, she saw her daughter folding the written letter and quickly stuffing it into an envelope, then handed it to her: "These are the things I need to do after I leave. I'll write them all on the letter. You can read it after you leave and no one is around."

"Okay!" Lan Ying felt like crying for some reason, and the girl finally made up her mind to leave.

"Don't cry. Be careful not to be discovered." Ma Wan urged, "Let's go."

"Yes!" Lan Ying held back her tears, hid the letter, picked up the bundle and turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back to Ma Wan and said, "Girl, please wait for me!"

Ma Wan smiled at her and nodded: "Go ahead."

Lan Ying nodded heavily, walked out of the tent quickly, found the person who could make the decision, and explained that she was going out to find a doctor for the Crown Prince's wife.

After all, Ma Wan was the Crown Prince's consort, so it was a common request for her to invite a medical doctor to the army for medical treatment. After asking a few questions, the other party arranged for several soldiers to escort Lan Ying out of the camp to seek medical treatment.

The army's practical carriage was very simple. Lan Ying sat in it, and her internal organs were shaken all over, just like her nervous but excited mood.

The sky gradually darkened.

After Lan Ying left, another maid entered the tent to serve Ma Wan. Ma Wan did not have dinner and went to bed early, saying that she had a poor appetite.

I don't know what time it was, but the outside of the tent gradually became quiet, with only the occasional sound of soldiers patrolling.

At this time, the sound of a maid bowing and a man coughing were heard. It was Li Lu who came back.

The army camped here for several days. For the first two days, Li Lu had been resting in his tent while handling official business.

Knowing that Li Lu was not used to having someone serving him closely at night, the maid helped Li Lu change his clothes, then turned off the lights and left.

Ma Wan was lying face down, which was her most common sleeping position after she realized she was pregnant.

Li Lu did not disturb Ma Wan and slowly lay down beside her.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Ma Wan slowly opened her eyes when she heard Li Lu fall asleep.

The man lying next to her was so familiar that even his breathing was familiar to her, but this familiar and trusted man had completely deceived her.

Ma Wan no longer had the urge to question.

There is nothing to ask. No matter how stupid she is, there should be an end. How can she still have illusions at this point?

Perhaps it was because she had rehearsed the worst possible scenario countless times in her mind ever since she began to have doubts. She had thought about it so much that she didn't even have tears at this moment.

So, what happens after knowing the truth?

escape?
Ma Wan paid close attention along the way and found that there was no possibility of escape at all.

Even if they set up camp at this time, Prince Rong's army was strictly disciplined, so there was no hope of escaping privately. If she found an excuse to leave the camp, no matter what excuse she used as the Crown Prince's Consort, it would reach Li Lu's ears and she would have to get his permission first, which would inevitably arouse Li Lu's suspicion.

Even if they managed to escape from the camp while Li Lu was away, how far could Lan Ying, who was pregnant, escape with the pursuers behind her?
Besides, where could she escape to?

She had failed to live up to her grandfather's instructions, and her grandfather had given up on her as his granddaughter... She was even pregnant with Li Lu's child, and she had no face to go home, and she no longer had a home.

She couldn't escape and had nowhere to go, so what else could she do?
Should she pretend she knew nothing and give birth to the child? Then would she and the child become pawns in Li Lu's hands?
Even though Ma Wan was stupid and deceived...she was by no means cowardly or mean.

In the dim light, Ma Wan turned sideways and slowly sat up, her black hair loose.

Her eyes were filled with tears of determination due to love turning into hate. When she raised her right hand, the dagger she was holding tightly was shining coldly.

She gritted her trembling teeth, held the knife with both hands, and stabbed it fiercely into Li Lu's chest!

Li Lu suddenly opened his eyes, dodged sideways, and his right arm was scratched.

Without waiting for Ma Wan to make any further move, he grabbed Ma Wan's too delicate wrist holding the knife. The dagger dropped and Ma Wan began to struggle.

"Wan'er, you have been acting strange all along..." Li Lu narrowed his eyes: "But I didn't expect that you actually wanted to kill me? Why?"

Even though he was weak, he was a man after all. Ma Wan had become so thin due to worry and pregnancy that she was almost a bag of bones. Facing Li Lu's grip, she could not resist at all.

In the dim light, Ma Wan's eyes were filled with hatred: "At this point, how long are you going to continue your pretense? How long are you going to deceive and use me!"

Li Lu held her wrist, looked at her for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "You know it."

His smile was as gentle as usual, his tone was still warm, and he looked at Ma Wan with gentle eyes and some compassion:

"Wan'er, you have bad luck."

"If it was yesterday, I would forgive your recklessness and would be happy to continue to coax and treat you well, but you chose today——"

"Today, it seems that there is no need for me to continue to worry about you."

As he spoke, he used his other hand to sweep the dagger off the couch, and suddenly grabbed Ma Wan's neck. With one force, he pushed her down on the couch, saying, "That's right, I married you because you are useful... If she had agreed to my proposal at the flower banquet that day, how could I have even looked at you?"

Ma Wan's neck was being strangled, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. Li Lu leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Wan'er, every time you and I are so close, who do you think I am thinking of?"

"Li Lu, you... beast!" Ma Wan was so angry and humiliated that she even wanted to vomit. She struggled hard and kicked with her legs, but was quickly pinned down by Li Lu's knees.

"Tomorrow I will announce that the Crown Prince's Consort has committed suicide due to illness..."

Li Lu's voice gradually became unreal to Ma Wan. She opened her eyes wide, but her pupils were shrinking, like a drowning person about to lose consciousness...

But in the next moment, he seemed to be suddenly pulled out of the water again.

Ma Wan breathed deeply instinctively and temporarily lost the ability to think. The sounds in her ears became distant and unclear.

"When did you become pregnant?"

"Why did you hide it from me?"

Ma Wan was still breathing with empty eyes, and a hand as cold as a snake touched her abdomen.

During the violent struggle just now, her middle shirt was torn apart, revealing most of her abdomen.

Her belly was much smaller than that of a normal pregnancy of more than five months, but it was still very obvious on her body which was so thin that her ribs were visible.

"I actually have a child." Li Lu's tone was a little surprised, a little curious, and a little sarcastic.

Today he learned that he had at most one year left to live.

They were marching in spring, and the fragrance of flowers and dust made him seriously ill. The doctor told him that an old illness was the cause, but he was too worried, and under the double exhaustion, he was no longer able to recover.

He was given such a body and such an experience, and he was not even allowed to worry or plan... Fate is really cruel.

But when this cruel fate completely abandoned him, it suddenly gave him such a "surprise".

Li Lu reached out his hand, slowly helped Ma Wan sit up, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, you have worked hard to give birth to this child. Let me take a look."

He was very curious and wanted to see what kind of life he would continue.

When Ma Wan managed to regain some strength, she saw two more maids and two guards in the tent.

She heard Li Lu say, "The Crown Prince's Concubine is pregnant, but she has developed hypochondria. She just raised a knife and tried to hurt herself... From today on, you will be responsible for taking good care of the Crown Prince's Concubine. You must stay by her side until she gives birth smoothly."

"..."

As the night deepened, a cool breeze whistled past from beneath the moon, like a mournful wail.

The moon sets and the east gradually becomes brighter.

There were constant messages coming and going in Taiyuan City every day, and congratulatory letters and secret letters from all over were delivered to Li Suining.

On this day, Li Suining picked up his pen and wrote reply letters to Jiangdu and Luoyang respectively.

In the afternoon, when the officials who were discussing matters at Grand Tutor Chu's office were leaving one after another, they saw Li Suining coming towards them and hurriedly stopped to greet him.

Li Suining nodded to them and took Ah Dian with him into the study room with a wide view: "Teacher, are you done with your work?"

Master Chu sat in the armchair by the window and did not stand up to greet him. He raised his eyelids and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Princess has come in person. I wonder if you have any advice for me."

The teacher and the student had a quarrel over some political differences these past two days.

"I'll take the teacher out for dinner." Li Suining smiled and went forward to help the tutor get up. The teacher was old and had been sitting for too long, so he couldn't get up suddenly.

The Grand Master slowly stood up with the help of her support, and asked with a sidelong glance: "Why, can't you set up a wine party to apologize?"

At this time, Wei Shuyi came out from the inner room holding a few official documents and asked with a smile: "Since there is a banquet, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to have a drink?"

"Of course, Prime Minister Wei is indispensable." Li Suining answered straightforwardly. He and Adian carried the Grand Tutor on the left and right and walked out. Chang Sui'an, who was waiting outside, saw this and hurriedly saluted the Grand Tutor.

After Wei Shuyi finished explaining the affairs here, he hurried over.

After getting off the carriage, Wei Shuyi finally understood what Li Suining meant by saying that he was naturally indispensable... It turned out that her wedding banquet was held in his house.

Li Suining had someone inform Duan Zhenyi two days ago that she was coming over for dinner. Under Duan Zhenyi's instructions, everyone in the Wei family villa started preparing the food early in the morning.

Wei Miaoqing had received the news in advance and also ran over to eat. Besides Li Zhi, the burden, there were also Yao Xia and another girl she was friends with.

Yao Xia, who followed Yao Yi to Taiyuan, often had trouble sleeping since the Guizong Ceremony. He often laughed secretly under the quilt late at night, so his eyes were dark blue, but his excitement was not reduced at all.

When she first met "Sister Chang", she fantasized about making "Sister Chang" one of her own. Later, when she heard her uncle say that he had found the wrong person, she and her mother were quite disappointed. They privately blamed her uncle for not living up to her expectations, but who knew that her uncle only told half the truth... After all the twists and turns, they are still a family!

After Yao Xia and Wei Miaoqing greeted Li Suining together, they were hesitating whether to link arms as they did before, but they saw that Madam Duan had already taken the lead and stepped forward to hold the Crown Princess intimately.

"Guess what delicious dishes I asked everyone to prepare today..." Mrs. Duan said mysteriously, with a look like that of a lively little girl.

Yao Xia was stunned until a young man's voice sounded in her ears: "Mrs. Yao Er."

Yao Xia looked up and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her expression, Chang Sui'an asked again in confusion: "...Mrs. Yao Er?"

Yao Xia blinked: "Young Master Chang?"

Being stared at by her without blinking, Chang Sui'an smiled uncomfortably and nodded: "It's me."

"I haven't seen you for a few years..." Yao Xia slowly came back to her senses, looked at his figure, and said, "Mr. Chang seems to have grown taller again!"

"No." Chang Sui'an said, but subconsciously straightened his body a little more and said shyly: "It should be just a little stronger."

Yao Xia looked at his slightly raised solid chest and felt the urge to swallow and pat it, but she resisted the urge and walked with him while saying, "I heard that you, Chang Langjun, are now a general of the Xuan Ce Army?"

"Yes! But he is not a general, only a sixth-rank general..."

"Sixth rank!" Yao Xia was surprised: "You are so young, and you are already a sixth rank?"

Chang Sui'an blushed and scratched the back of his head: "Not worth mentioning..."

You have to know that his sister is two years younger than him, and she has become the crown prince... In comparison, he is just a sesame seed.

Yao Xia thought this was amazing, and the two of them walked into the hall while talking.

The meal was very lively as most of the guests were young people.

Looking at his wife whose behavior had inexplicably become younger, Duke Zheng felt that he was the most elderly person in the whole audience...As for the Grand Tutor, everyone knew that his temper was that of a three-year-old child.

After everyone had finished chatting and playing, it was already very late at night when the banquet ended.

On the way back, Li Suining, Chang Sui'an and Adian rode their horses slowly and talked. The tutor, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, took a nap in the carriage.

After being helped off the car, the Grand Tutor yawned and waved at Li Suining and the others, "Go back."

Li Suining came over and said with a smile: "Teacher, please go to your study and have a cup of tea. I have something to discuss with you."

Master Chu looked at her, said nothing, and just raised his leg.

Li Suining followed.
